                             Notes from the arena champ.

In the hush of night, the shadows creep,
Where whispered secrets dare not sleep.
A blackened sky, a silent breath,
The world suspended, poised in death.
Yet in this void, a spark may gleam,
A fragile hope, a hidden dream.
Through tangled paths where shadows play,
The heart finds light within the gray.
The dark, a cloak both cold and deep,
Yet teaches strength in silence to keep.
For in the night, our truths confide,
And in the dark, the soul's eyes wide.

          -- Darkness, an extraordinary Duelmaster

                                      SPY REPORT

     Welcome ZENSU.  I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well.  Many the fights have I 
fought here.  The celebrations, the disappointments...  What's with BASHFOOL?  It 
actually beat OXY MORONS' EXTREME AVERAGE, and walked away with 15 more points from 
the fight.  Laughs were big at OXY MORONS while they watched TERRIBLE BEAUTY clobber 
DAVE.  He lost 12 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands.  See 
how the Duelmaster challenged DREAMS WORK's HUMPTY DUMPTY?  That sort of initiative 
is how it got where it is now.  HUMPTY DUMPTY was reminded on the sands why DARKNESS 
is Duelmaster.  I suppose you want to hear some rumors and dirty gossip about your 
fellow fighters?  Tough!   
     Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...  ZENSU thinks 
PHILANTHROPISTS and their 99-56-0 is too much!  If at first you don't succeed, give 
up...  In my day, no team with a 98-53-0 would scare me off!  What's the problem, THE 
SHIRE?  What do people see in FLOODS?  Its 38-7-0?  PANDORA'S BOX ain't talkin', but 
it's got 127 points.   
     There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit.  Do you want the fighters 
to walk away, or not?  Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover stupor.  You 
young rapscallions, take note!   
     Who knows what the future holds for a warrior.  More fights, there's no doubt.  
ZENSU is a nice place to live, but I don't like to live in nice places.  Time for my 
medication, so I'll leave now.  Practice, practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen
