Day 108, Year 547 of the Ascendancy

“Mystic Battle”

Today there were quite a few mystics in the lands, and we decided to
have some fun in the Arena. Pluto, Hawkthorn, Neige, Xel, Tirilis,
Valtrim, Ragi, and I headed to Thieve’s Island to test our physical
skills against each other.

After a few bouts to get us warmed up, we decided
to have a free-for-all tournament, where the last man standing wins. To
make things more interesting, I put up 50 coins as prize money for the
victor of the match. Everyone went to their own separate corners of the
Arena, and the tournament was begun! (See Vision Stone.)

The battle was quite exciting, and everybody put
up a good fight, but when the dust had settled, I was the only mystic
left standing. Ragi and Xel put up a pretty good a fight, but in the
end the outcome was inevitable. Nice try guys.

Next we had two rounds of bouts which pitted the
full Mystics (Hawkthorn, Valtrim, and myself) against the rest of the
assembled mystics. At first we were confident that this would be an
easy win, but we ended up getting beat up both rounds.

Afterwards, we decided that for the last round of
fighting we should have another free-for-all tournament. This time we
agreed not to use any of our “boosts” during the match. Again, I
offered a 50 coin prize for the victor. This time, however, I would end
up losing my money. After a bout of intense fighting, Neige ended up
winning the boost-free competition.

At the end of the day we were all a bit stiff and
sore, but we all had great time. Tan’ki to all the healers who helped
us back on our feet inbetween the bouts.

The inpromptu mystic tournament was great fun, and
we will definately have to do this again some time. Next time, Neige
won’t be so lucky.
