The battle fever. He had never thought to experience it himself$$$ though Jamie had told him of it often enough. How time seemed to blur and slow and evenstop$$$ how the past and the future vanished until there was nothing but the instant$$$ how fear fled$$$ and thought fled$$$ and even you body. "You don't feel your wounds then$$$ or the ache in your back from the weight of the armor$$$ or the sweat running down into your eyes. You stop feeling you stop thinking$$$ you stop being you$$$ there is only the fight $$$ the foe$$$ this man and then the next and the next and the next$$$ and you know they are afraid and tired but you're not$$$ you're alive$$$ and death is all around you but their swords move so slowly$$$ you can dance through them laughing." Battle fever. I am half a man and drunk with slaughter$$$ let them kill me if they can!
