DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Autumn's Embrace
By Emily Hart
Leaves fall, painting the ground
In shades of BROWN that astound,
Each one a story to be found
In Autumn's embrace.
The trees, once green, now wear a crown
Of golden hues and rustic BROWN,
Whispering secrets as they sway
In Autumn's embrace.
The crisp air dances, leaves take flight,
A symphony of colors ignite,
But none so striking as the sight
Of BROWN in Autumn's embrace.
-- read aloud by BROWN, a true Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Hail and well met warriors of ZORPUNT! Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari. Former top team CRAYOLAS was
unseated this week as TREEBEARD'S ARMY moved up from 2nd ranking to take the top spot
with a 4-1-0 record for the round. Warriors--remember that glory waits always around
the corner! Witness how this week RAT PAK went 0-0-0 to move up 3 in the rankings.
Did only my eyes note the 4-1-0 record which TREEBEARD'S ARMY managed to post this
round? I don't doubt that such a record will draw challengers! NIGHTWING caught the
eye of many in the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested ORANGE and was
awarded 19 points in recognition. This time victory fell to the grasp of the
usurper. All hail THORNSINGER, Duelmaster of ZORPUNT! Heed this! A seer has warned
that if exactly 6 die in duels this week, the whole city shall perish! Just
remember...5 or 7!
But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades
that is city ZORPUNT. I saw one fighter that warriors avoided when this week's
challenge seeking began. CRAYOLAS is feared. This much I can say. If you didn't
look down dark alleys you'd have been hard pressed to find any of TREEBEARD'S ARMY
last week. Busy avoiding CRAYOLAS? Loose talk at the arena has reached my ears and
it but confirms the knowledge that many fighters are after WARWILLOW. Watch your
back! For some warriors honor is not important--only empty victory. See,
gladiators, how IRONBOUGH of TREEBEARD'S ARMY challenged down 16 points to DIMWIT
OVERHILL. All the city knows the duel went in favor of IRONBOUGH. I shall not fail
to spread the word in other cities of this "mighty" victory. I can not but mention
with disdain the name of VINESPIKE who this week posted a challenge to a warrior a
full 11 points below in the rankings. I thought VINESPIKE showed great skill and
promise when he was subdued by SKYFALL. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Is not Death a warrior's foremost adviser? Warriors, may this counselor stand
ready at your right hand forever! Fate is a fickle mistress. She showers the
miserable with fortune but sets enemies against the victorious. Remember this!
If it were not for my skills as a spy I would have been mugged three times
already in ZORPUNT. Nice atmosphere you have here! Ahh, but I can hear the spires
of a far off city calling to me. I must away! Till next we meet remember: a fool
flies into a rage quickly and often. The wise are angered by the same thing only
once. Zontani Sharp Eyes
