Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

-- So it was for a long time, and in Legrane the line is still quite thin. Some people are simply rotten -- that will show there just as much as here. Alright, our first round is about to begin. Good luck -- let us wish each other to meet in the finals.


Cassius's first opponent, an elderly Legranian, greets the baron with a barely noticeable nod before putting on his helmet. A sad sight -- a man at the twilight of his life, in plain armor, not a single ribbon on his lance, neither glory nor victory has interested him for a long time now; only habit drives him to clash again and again while he can still stay in the saddle. Cassius notices that the opponent's horse looks far sturdier and more purebred than Mrak -- perhaps this will affect his choice of target for the strike.

so, are there any bets? is there a list of participants or we go along as things unfold?
