*puts GM hat on*
I can safely say through all three sentences (which could have easily been seven or so, and yes, I counted them) that, for varying reasons, it sadly [i]wasn't[/i] a good starting post. This is for three reasons, in order of severity:

1: Neither I nor Skipper ever gave you the green light to start posting.
2: How much of the IC did you [i]actually[/i] read?
2.1: There was no commotion...yet. Kolman had just barely discovered the guy.
2.2: Never did we say the boy was dead.
2.3: The term "Shadow Duel" has never been directly mentioned or even implied at over the entire course of the IC.
3: <--- That's literally how many sentences your post had; three run-on sentences irk me even more than seven poorly-built ones.

You didn't come here from Free by any chance, did you? >.>
