Greetin' & Farewell...

Well, since the day I crossed the arena, I had a dream to achive greatness here. Well, I did not reach it, for other events lead me astray from this place. The event has lead me back to my homeland, & there I shall stay. I have announce my Retirement to the establishment, but as always, I 'Who has somehow been labeled the self proclaim messiah of New Schoolers" will leave my final comment of the arena.

During the time since I departed from here many arguements have happen, I have read the going ons of the arena, & have seen many changes. I personally want to laugh, for many of the changes are what I called "New School" had been speaking of has been implemented. As alway, I never raise arguments on old & new duelers, only on the views. My meaning of New School Was based on belief, not stature.

In the observations, many that blasted me or others that tried to defend me where argueing what I was stateing in the other discusions of Honor & respect - Polictics & the skills of the Blade. Well, most will not realize it, you are New Schoolers too. Many of the changes, from the Neutral Barons, to the clash with certain Barons & the Overlord back then, to the classic duel with the title not being accepted by one who is much brasher that I.

Look at yourself, find who you really are... never fight for your own cause, never dicuss something for your own benifits, make a stand without fearing of the establishment. In the end, if you are true to yourself, you have won, no title will acheive that... it is your strength from within & what you hold dearly is what is gained.

I am happy to leave this place with the knowledge that a new wave of gifted duelers have worked up the chain & the New beliefs are speading amongst the ring. I have fought many here & well assured many will pave a new path of greatness... I may not have the chance to attain the highest rank or leave my name on the list of greats... I have the pleasure to know that their are others that are strong & will help created a new pedastal of greatness
amost the other legends of the land.

Again, With a quote of this new schooler lives by "Duel with the Sword, not with the benefits of the structure, prove your worth with your strength... Challenge only those that are equal or stronger than yourself, but never denied any who challenges you. & a simple comment...Do not fear change, accept it... yet always be true to yourself even if others will try to stop you... In the end... you are the True warrior.

Let the Swords Clash, good luck to all, let the best Swordman & Ladies hold their head up in pride..

Retired Warlord
