I would like it to be noted that I do not as a rule partake in these sorts of opportunities. I have said, and I will say again, that logic is the only blade I need. I will further say that there is nothing it cannot cut. But though it pains me to say it, at this moment in time I find my hand is unable to achieve the proper grip. There is much that [i]I[/i] cannot cut. 

So I will do as hospitality bids me. I will sit in the center of this shadow ball and I will leave behind for a moment the world of facts and conjecture. I will descend down mystic pathways and see Impossibility in search of a glittering light in this darkness that I have missed among the ones I intended to wield. It is beyond the point of rudeness to refuse the invitation twice.

Therefor I, Eclair Espoir, declare that I will contest my power against yours. Yes, you directly, because you have finally come within reach. Let us do battle and see who between us will leave this exchange with the more valuable forfeit.

"There is something I have failed to see before."[/color]

These then are my moves. This then is my power.

Go on. Show me my other selves. Show me the mes that have more potential than I do, and the mes that are pointing in the direction that I must travel if I am to arrive at the truth with my blade in hand. You may take your time and cover each in as much detail as you like. Go one by one if need be. 

I am in no rush.
