Beautiful post! Truly. [quote]”I have something much better than luck..I have a friend.” [/quote] Hahah! This is so cheesy that he should star in an MLP episode and yet, something I totally expect him to say somehow. Friends made, foes gained. This is the very spirit of the arena in both your posts. I'm going to use all that for plot. I really like how Gwyneira is quite shocked at her first viewing of an arena tournament too, learning about her own magical abilities abd their limits - showing exactly why wizards need to go through a journeymanship. Excellent! ...But, alas --- I'll post tomorrow or in two days, it is late here and I have much to write. [@Cyrania][@Spiffy]
