Darkholm Arena

They mocked the name. They mocked the stats. They mocked the record. But Shocking Toad 
is still here-when most of those who joined with him and even after him are long 
forgotten.

Born in October 1984, Shocking Toad was never meant to be a champion. His stats were 
average. His performance was worse. He graduated from basic Duelmasters at 21-27-1, a 
forgettable footnote in a game full of better warriors.

But he never left.

Over 40 years and 153 fights later, Shocking Toad now stands as the highest-rated 
Parry-Strike in Darkholm. He clawed through the Eligibles ranks, even made a run at 
Primus-where he went 2-1 in his final 3 before retreating. He's not Primus-caliber. He 
knows that.

But Darkholm? This feels right.

Toad has gone 3-1 in his last 4 and holds 301 recognition points. Is this the start of 
something special-or just the final chapter in a long, stubborn career? No one knows.

What's in a name?

The name was never meant to last. It began as a joke-a teenager's whim in 1984. But 
the joke's long gone, and Shocking Toad remains. He's not a killer. He's not a star. 
He's something better. He's still here.

Shocking Toad has arrived. Again.
This is his resurrection.
This is his proving ground.
This is Darkholm.

                      Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade

Reflections by the Keeper of the Runeblade -- Darkholm, Arena 104

I speak now with humble voice. I not born to speak, only to move. But Runeblade heavy 
in hand. It demand I speak to all warrior who walk this stone ground.

Minstrel. You fight with honor. With will. With power of thousand hours. You are storm 
in quiet forest. You try for Runeblade, and you almost take it. For that, I bow. You 
are great fighter. Maybe I see you again. Maybe in Primus sky.

For others, I say this:

I come from dirt. From slum with no roof. I eat what rats drop. I sleep with eyes 
open, heart closed. I know what it mean to have nothing, and I train like ghost until 
I become blade.

I do not fight for fame. I do not fight for coin. I fight because I must. Because fire 
in chest not go out. Every fight I live, I sharpen soul. Every fall, I rise harder.

I will not stop. I will not tire. Not until they send me to mountain called Primus. 
Until that day, I stay here, in Darkholm, and I fight every warrior, every style, 
every storm. I hold Runeblade not because I am best. I hold because I refuse to fall.

You want it? Come take it.

                                          With honor,

                                          Jakuchu Ito
                                          Keeper of the Runeblade	

                             REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER

Hullo hullo!

Darkholm Arena had a satisfactory 60 fights today.  No one died.  There were five 
challenges, and as far as I know, no one avoided anyone.  I would like to thank 
Jakuchu Ito for another interesting column, and welcome Shocking Toad to our arena.

     The most challenged fighter today was Green Bean.  TUM (18-7380) (44-25-2,210) of 
FROM THE FACE challenged GREEN BEAN (3-6419) (71-40-2,229) of VEGGIES.  TUM was 
devastated by GREEN BEAN in a popular 1 minute uneven Challenge brawl.  It was a good 
fight, and I hope Tum learned a few things from the more senior fighter.  Green Bean 
is our top Basher.
     SHOCKING TOAD (7-310) (67-87-1,301) of NINJAS challenged PATRICIA CORNWELL (21-
3909) (116-140-2,341) of AUTHORS.  SHOCKING TOAD was handily defeated by PATRICIA 
CORNWELL in a 1 minute Challenge match.  Hmm.  I'd expect the Toad to have collected a 
few recognition points for a bold challenge, but instead he lost 111 points.  That 
doesn't seem fair.  Ms Cornwell is top Slasher.
     Here's another bold challenge that didn't help.  JACOB (10-233) (69-87-3,194) of 
THE WARRIORS challenged CHANA-RAE (18-1988) (76-91-2,316) of FEMMES FATAL.  JACOB was 
viciously subdued by CHANA-RAE in a crowd pleasing 3 minute Challenge match.  My 
sympathies, Shocking Toad and Jacob, to you and your managers.  Chana-Rae, 
incidentally, is our leading Parry-Riposte.
     CUP O'PIZZA (10-5397) (104-46-0,212) of THE JERKS fought SCHARV (51-1209) (121-
133-0,204) of SKAITHVARN.  CUP O'PIZZA was savagely defeated by SCHARV in a crowd 
pleasing 9 minute gory match.  Scharv is our best Total Parry, and gained 37 points in 
this fight.
     Oh dear.  BAD ADS (72-10723) (23-14-0,38) of BASH BROS SUPERBOWL fought COCKY 
SPECTATOR (104-3) (0-0-0,0).  BAD ADS was overpowered by COCKY SPECTATOR in a 1 minute 
one-sided brawl.  Bad Ads lost 29 points for this embarrassment.
     As usual, Job is the overall popularity leader.  JOB (18-6129) (159-290-0,184) of 
SHEPHERDS fought 2 + 2 = 4 (38-4190) (82-291-2,161) of JUST BECAUSE.  JOB subdued 2 + 
2 = 4 in an exciting 6 minute brutal bout.
     Can't find my copy of the Sporting Journal.  Wasn't Dantallion the spectators' 
favorite last turn?  So is he again today.  CRAWL SPACE (72-6525) (57-55-0,188) of 
BASH BROS CRICKET fought DANTALLION (4-2028) (45-34-2,205) of THE BLOODGUARD.  CRAWL 
SPACE outlasted DANTALLION in an exciting 8 minute gory match.
     And the least favored fighter is Obligatory.  OBLIGATORY (72-10137) (25-34-0,3) 
of BASH BROS SEX fought BOOKIE'S GUARD (104-5) (35-18-0,75).  OBLIGATORY was 
demolished by BOOKIE'S GUARD in a 1 minute mismatched duel.  Losing to a stand-in is 
no way to gain favor, that's for sure.  Although the Bookie's Guard is a frightening 
fellow.  I've been chased by him before.
     Speaking of scary fellows, there is Jakuchu Ito.  JAKUCHU ITO (7-5102) (51-19-
1,261) of NINJAS challenged GAOL (5-5891) (60-70-2,241) of YOU DON'T SAY.  JAKUCHU ITO 
devastated GAOL in a 1 minute mismatched Challenge Title fight.  Mr. Jakuchu is 
Darkholm's best Lunger, and the Keeper of the Runeblade -- although, you know, the 
Runeblade has been missing for over a year.
     HANNA (3-8094) (44-29-1,222) of CLAN MCKRAGGEN fought NOSY NEIGHBOR (72-7827) 
(78-27-1,198) of BASH BROS CONDO.  HANNA overpowered NOSY NEIGHBOR in an action packed 
1 minute uneven melee.  Hanna is the top Aimed Blow.
     The top Parry-Strike is Extra Best Thermos.  ISHINOMORI (7-5390) (42-20-1,196) of 
NINJAS challenged EXTRA BEST THERMOS (10-5444) (29-4-1,221) of THE JERKS.  ISHINOMORI 
was devastated by EXTRA BEST THERMOS in a 1 minute Challenge fight.
     AERYN SUN (10-4268) (71-32-0,225) of FARSCAPE fought SNEEZING PANDA (2-6539) (44-
79-2,187) of AB-NORMALS.  AERYN SUN handily defeated SNEEZING PANDA in a 1 minute one-
sided conflict.  The intriguing Ms Sun is our top Parry-Lunge.
     ISHMAIL (1-9650) (60-67-1,218) of CLAN MCKRAGGEN fought NEEDLE BOY (6-7631) (44-
38-0,198) of THE BAD SEEDS.  ISHMAIL devastated NEEDLE BOY in a 1 minute mismatched 
conflict.  Ishmail is the highest ranked Wall of Steel.
     Misti is the top Striker, despite losing her fight.  MISTI (21-9595) (33-15-
0,182) of MADNESS fought TURNED OFF (72-7887) (55-34-0,192) of BASH BROS GAS.  MISTI 
was viciously subdued by TURNED OFF in a popular 2 minute brutal contest.

That's all I can tell you without descending to tasteless gossip.  Well, it would be 
rather tasty actually...  Anyway, that's all.  Have a delightful two weeks.  Cheerio!
