The last 48 hours of Henry Palmer’s was, to put it frankly, a series of twists and turns that left him confused, terrified and left him with bouts of headaches. That shameless homewrecker whose name is Beatrice barged into his house, destroyed the door and announced that he is due for a family reunion he never asked. He then expected his day to be annoying but he was willing to give them a chance.

But no, they decided that it wouldn't be a straight affair.

They needed to take on a few ‘side quests’, using her words some smelting in order to make him worthy of blood. If you ask him, it only turned his apathy to cold restrained hate. He wasn’t sure if it was the purpose.

Furthermore, he has no choice but to bend his knee because he doesn’t want to suffer the same fate as the door on his house. He still values his life.

Regardless he needs to focus he has a duel to finish, in front of him is a large man who had been matching him every turn, unfortunately for him Henry’s deck grow stronger as his graveyard get larger and he found his opening sooner than him.

[b][color=004b80]“I banish Grapha and Fabled Dyf in my graveyard to special summon Chaos Creator to the field.”[/color][/b] he announced as he started the final turn of the game. 

“I activate–”

[b][color=004b80]“Solemn Judgment, your handtrap is negated.”[/color][/b] he announced as he foiled the enemy’s final gambit. He wished he had more copies of this card but the ridiculous rarity stopped him, regardless that was the game.

[color=004b80][b]“With that out of the way, I special summon Grapha with Chaos Creator’s effect. Head to battle phase and attack for game.” [/b][/color]

“Good game.” his opponent announced as he offered a handshake, he accepted it as a show of sportsmanship. After that he took his cards off the table and returned to his waiting seat.

[color=9e0039][b]“That was too close.”[/b][/color] his ‘guardian” Beatrice announced as he took a seat beside him. She ‘lost’ her match earlier but was allowed to stay for ‘moral support’.

[color=004b80][b]“But your sidequest only states that I need to play in this ‘surprise’ tournament, not win it.”[/b][/color] he spat back as he took a sip of coffee from his thermos.

[b][color=9e0039]“True.”[/color][/b] she muttered between her giggles. [color=9e0039][b]"But I do hope that you’re giving it your all, holding back will defeat the purpose of this sidequest.” she muttered in a more menacing tone as her face creeped closer.[/b][/color]

[b][color=004b80]“Don’t worry, I don’t see any reason to do that. I’m actually quite interested with the card packs that’s going to be the prize.”[/color][/b] he reassured her before he shoved her back to her seat.

Still taking a tournament seriously was the point of the sidequest? The more I learn about my family, the more confused I feel.

[i]Can’t they really just go and leave him alone, he wasn’t really interested with the people who abandoned him when he was an infant.[/i]
