So I lost against Starspark. Big deal! The man's got centuries of experience on the rest of us, and that's lots to overcome. Next him and I meet in the pits, however, I'll spill his blood and I'll stand triumphant over his battered and broken body.

That's a promise.

In the meantime, I'd like to ask my fans to have a little faith. The bitch ain't out of the competition just yet.

A scruffy messenger boy with a shiny coin in his hand pins it underneath the first notice, before running back to lower sanctuary. The handwriting's messy and almost child-like]

Starspark cheat! Has squid thing in head, makes fast and strong! Death to Elf!
