It is I, Zontani Sharp Eyes, here to bring report of the clash and bustle of the weekly ZUKAL games. PESSAR caught the eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as he skillfully bested FLOYD TROUT and was awarded 35 points in recognition. In one of the week's more notable duels, HIS NIBS put down RESTORATION, causing him to lose 9 points of recognition in the process. Unwilling to wait upon the will of others, Duelmaster QUEEN OF CLUBS Bloodfeuded THE ZONK last week in a match to decide the fate of the throne. Not for nothing has QUEEN OF CLUBS in the past laid claim to the Duelmaster's throne, and this week she's proven hers combat skill yet again. Would you believe that over half of the old women in ZUKAL seem to feel that they could fight better than you gladiators? Many and various are the arts of battle. In ZUKAL "art" is a word that has long since passed from the language! ZUKAL, city of gladiators! Mighty among the names of thy guilds is PET SHOP FLOYD, a guild shunned and avoided by many in the weekly duels. Apparently the stalwarts of RYE THE LIGHTNING are catching the bulk of jests down at the challenging board for their large share of the avoids. Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after IT'S A JOKE, RIGHT?. Watch your back! What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his foe's mortality? The warrior's path is harsh. For mediocrity there is but one reward--death. This past week FLOYD TROUT, at 19-14-0, departed ZUKAL forever. I have seen warriors die in youth. I have seen women cut down in their prime. This week WRATHMEN KOGO must mourn the loss of 10-5-1 JOSALYN to PET SHOP FLOYD. Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this! A thought before I go. Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise manager learn the secrets of them all? Sadly warriors, now longer can I keep thy company nor savor the ale of thy fine city. Depart I must and soon! Till next we meet remember: a fool flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only once.
