G.O.A.T.

By Rhoades Maibam

What drives a fighting warrior on a battlefield is something extraordinary! Swords after swords and arrows after arrows he has taken, yet he pushes himself from one enemy to the next. Ounce after ounce, his blood drips from his body, yet he slices through from one amassing flesh to the next. But, not a God he is, so his shield is getting heavier, his arms are starting to shake and his legs are starting to give in. However, his heart is still roaring, roaring for glory, glory that awaits, and glory that he ‘sees’ nearing.

Now, what takes him there isn’t no more the strength of his flesh, no! What takes him there is only a belief, a belief from a million prayers at home, a million whom he’s fighting for. Now, glory or not, the warrior has found that special spark that has driven him from battlefields after battlefields all these ages and that is – ‘someone to fight for, someone to die for…’

However, not all warriors have millions praying for them at home. And not all warriors have millions believing in them in the battles they fight. And for those warriors with ‘no one to fight for, no one to die for…’ their only drive has always been to become the ‘greatest warriors of all time’ and nothing else.
