::Gopher sits all alone in the Arena late one night, His sword "Anger" Sitting on the table as he sips at his drink. Goph leans back in his chair putting his feet up, He toasts the air and downs the glass::

"Happy Anniversary To you Goph"

::He mutters to himself. He remembers back this night. For it was exactly two years ago Gopher first set foot into the Arena. He remembers a time when Dalamar Ruled the rings, When Now Overlord Avery, and Baron Galin First entered the arena. Goph shakes his head slightly with a mutter::

"What has happened these past years, So much has changed, Tis no longer about the dueling, Now tis about the Politics and the Stature"

::Goph shakes his head, The look in his eyes seeing he has obviously had a bit more then his limit he continues to reflect on the times he's seen. The Marriage, Hardship, And then Divorce for Lexi and Evan, Dalamar Losing the rank of Overlord, then Dying shortly After, Gophers joining of team Dracoern Highlands, His befriending of Sidartha, Falablah, Kloor, Jon, And he even believes he's getting through to Jono. The wild times with Lexi, Evan,
Dae, And Ken. The unforgettable Strip tease Siddy did for G'nort that one night in the Arena. And the way Var has always acted like a father to Goph::

"I always thought everyone would be around forever, well until they left that is."

::Goph's voice fading to the distance as vauge memories of Aja and Lily pass through his mind. Goph refills his glass, standing and taking the glass into his hand::

"Happy Two years Goph"

::Goph drinks down the liquid picking up "Anger" And sheathing it. As Goph walks up the stairs he takes one last look about the arena and exits into the darkness on the Rhydin streets::
