[@mdk] So, um. Not sure why, but you said it was a big favor to tally the votes, so, I guess I could take on that extremely strenuous task of counting the six votes. Hah.

[b]Firebrand[/b] by [@Shorticus] – 3 votes.
[b]Retribution[/b] by [@RomanAria] – 2 votes.
[b]What’s Wrong with Johnny[/b] by [@Dark Wind] – 1 vote.
[b]The rest[/b] – 0 votes but quite a few reviews.

So, um. Guess I'll do this, then? Sounds like I should do this. If I CAN'T do it, then ignore this hider. Haha.

[hider=Placeholder Victory Declaration!][h2]Winner: 'Firebrand' by [@Shorticus]![/h2]

With a magnificent tale which grabbed half of the votes, Shorticus was able to obtain praise throughout our score of reviewers through the detailed trails that one single hero had to go through to prove his determination and loyalty. Keep doing what you're doing or get even better, we love it.

[h3]Runner-up: 'Retribution' by [@RomanAria]![/h3]

An entry which set a beautiful mystic tone with the beginning scene and enchanted its readers with the given story of a single letter, providing the mystery of the parts it left out in a way only a really well-written piece can. Wonderfully done.

[h3]Statement[/h3]

I'm not part of the staff at RPGC and am totally confused at mdk's statement that someone can declare the winner, so feel free to hang me to burn on a stake if I did something I can't. In any case. When mdk comes back, he probably have some staff-only things to say and some bonus categories to award, so feel free to wait patiently until then!

Anyway. Terminal should have a Seventh Labour up soon enough. Why not check that out if you can for something to write next month? If you're confident in your skills, it is truly something to challenge with your capability at writing stories against![/hider]
