                             Notes from the arena champ.

Charybdis, the mythical creature, monster of the depths, yet unable to swallow the 
most delicate of flowers. May these verses alleviate the burden of your defeat.

     "Drinking together among mountain blossoms, we down a cup, another, and yet 
     another. Soon drunk, I fall asleep, and you wander off. Tomorrow evening, if 
     you think of it, grab some wine and come again."

                                             -- Jin Young

                                      SPY REPORT

     I can't believe the violence in AMEN-TEI!  I still haven't told Mom I'm writing 
Spyreports.  She'd have a cow!  Well, here we go...  LIBATIONS 3 like really fought 
hard to move up to 6th from 11th.  Way to go!  MVP award for BEGTSE?  SAFE HAVEN's 
proud of him after beating SALLY SQUIRREL and getting 21 points.  Talk about yer big 
time losers!  MINJEE LEE got smashed by DUSANA, and lost 19 points!  Like, KEDO PATLI 
must be pretty gutsy!  He challenged the Duelmaster from THE SAND TRAP.  Does this 
guy have a death wish or what!  This Duelmaster is like something else!  JIN YOUNG KO 
stopped KEDO PATLI dead in his tracks!  Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to 
his teammates?  Don't ask me!   
     I gotta admit I haven't been in "deep con caves" with any spies.  Really, I just 
wing this stuff.  NEON ODYSSEY was AMEN-TEI's most avoided team.  Is there some award 
for that?  I don't know what THE SAND TRAP's been doing.  They certainly haven't been 
accepting many fights from NEON ODYSSEY, that's fer sher.  Can SAFE HAVEN's KEDO 
PATLI be more popular than me?  He was challenged the most, but is that really the 
same?   
     Man, all these warriors dying and killing each other!  Don't you guys ever give 
it a break?  Fight, fight, fight.  Is that all you guys can do?   
     I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid.  Who would've guessed I'd be 
a famous Spyreporter?  I know how much you like reading this stuff, but I really 
should stop.  I had a fun time, see you later-- Debby Tonte
