Awesome start on the story! Only one thing that bothers me about it: You don't say anything about him cleaning off his blade before resheathing it. A trained/experianced swordsman would never sheath a dirtied blade if given the chance to clean it first. It'd be bad for the blade and bad for the sheath, especially since the sword would probably get 'glued' in the sheath when the blood dried. Few things worse that a sword that won't come out of the scabbard.
