you: there must have been some sort of battle here

me: *standing a few meters away from you, sword in hand* nope, nothing of the sort

me: For Five Years I Have Been Throwing Swords At The Sun In Hopes That I Will One Day Throw One Far Enough To End The Life Of That Terrible Fire Orb And Have It Fall Unto The Earth, Killing Us All

you: holy shit *picks up a sword from my bag of swords and joins me*
