~*~ As Lady DeBurgo pens the announcement the lad awaits, anxious to spread the news and post the announcement. As she finishes, handing him the official results, the young crier runs through the streets of Rhydin crying out the news of the Challenge for the Seventh Baronial Ring. His young voice catching the attention of all who are
in hearing ~*~

Hear Ye All Who Have Ears! The Challenge for the Seventh Baronial Ring results!
~*~ A large crowd quickly gathers around the boy, eager for news, badgering him with a barrage of questions until one kind soul lifts the lad onto a nearby barrel, hushing the crowd so that the breathless boy can speak ~*~

" Twas a tense duel, both combatants ready to finish this challenge at a moment's notice. The Lady Mystik DeBurgo was found willing to officiate, both Baron and Warlord agreeing upon her.
The Baron Elijah Eagle Ecore meeting the Warlord Lupton est Dracoern in defence of the Seventh Baronial ring.
The Arena was packed with more spectators than one would imagine given the hour.
The Warlord publically stated twas still his intent to seek the Seventh. The Baron announced his intention to defend his title and ring.

~*~ catching his breath, the boy continues ~*~

Baron Ecore duelled with no Second,nor a Lady of Honor. His colors a Black blade pointing down entwined by a red serpent and a white rose. His chosen Blade was "Draco", shard of the LyfeStone of Mount Bane.

The Warlord Lupton est Dracoern duelled under the
colors of Black and Gold. His Second Jesse
Troyn was present. His Lady of Honor is the lovely Simini was in absentia but later joined those gathered in the Arena. His
chosen Blade was an unnamed Filligrie-hilt

seeking the middle, however, the Baron is
watching closely and brings Draco up in a neat

seeking flesh, The Warlord has the some idea as
his broadsword slices low! Both bleed for a point!

the broadsword flashing up high to earn another
claim of flesh! ( FSS/HC)

The Baron reaches out, Draco rounding in a low
arc, the Warlord's broadsword makes a similar
arc, blocking the cut with a twist ! ( LC/FCP)

to find the Warlord's broadsword blocking,
denying him yet again! (HC/FLP)

midsection of the Warlord before he can slice
low! ( T/LC)
Legends 7

step, the Warlord ducks and turns with a twist to
observe! ( FSS/FDu)
Legends 8
Draco arcs high as the Baron moves, intent on
claiming another taste of flesh, catching the
Warlord as his broadsword swings into a circular
block,the fance flick of the wrist still bringing it to
naught! ( HC/FCP)
Legends 9
Th Warlord moves smoothly forward, his
broadsword catching the light, seeking the

While everyone, except maybe Rhi, was cheering and hoping Lupton won, I would like to thank all for their attendance on such short notice. I would like to thank Mystik for calling on such short notice and doing a fine job of the officating of the match. Personally, I am happy to achieved my first defense of a title. And it's with some smug satisfaction that I beat Lupton for that accomplishment, and that I
won a close 4-4 duel that I had to make a two point deficit comeback by Fancy Disengaging him for the final point. I look forward to my next defense now, and hopefully a longer reign. I remain neutral to the crown, and loyal to the rings.

As Guardian of the Seventh till Draco fails me,


~Elijah Eagle Ecore~

~Baron of Swords~
