About
DELIVERED UNDER FLAG OF PARLEY · SEAL OF THE KNIGHT OF THE FOUR A FORMAL CHALLENGE being the fourth such letter, the previous three having ended irregularly To the crimson champion, called Homura Red, and to the champion’s companions, greetings. I am Zagan, Knight of the Four, first blade of the sealed lord, and I write as the law of arms requires: to name the time, the ground, and the terms under which we shall next meet, so that the meeting may be worthy of us both. THE TERMS, WHICH ARE ALWAYS THE TERMS Single combat, to yield or to sundown, whichever mercy comes first. No sorcery from my side; no companions from yours. Your seconds stand unharmed under my word, which has never broken and will not begin with you. Should you fall, you will be returned to your people with honor. Should I fall, my legions withdraw until the next moon. My word binds my army. I am aware yours binds nothing, and that you will arrive anyway, early, loudly, and from an unexpected direction. I have planned for nine directions. There will be a tenth. There is always a tenth. ON THE MATTER OF THE PREVIOUS DUELS. The record must be corrected. The first meeting I struck from the rolls, as no code anticipates an opponent who pauses a bind to compliment my footwork. The second stands: you fought magnificently and named your winning stroke, on the spot, something I refuse to write down. The third I will not discuss, except to state for the permanent record that I did not laugh. The mask amplifies breath. What the witnesses heard was breath. A CAUTION, FREELY GIVEN. Do not mistake my courtesy for my colleagues’. The Strategist will not send a letter. The Beastmaster IS the letter. And her Excellency the Empress sends nothing at all; she is simply, one day, there. Of the war arrayed against you, I am the only piece that will ever tell you where it moves. Value this. I am told it is quaint. ⚔ TERMS: KEPT, ALWAYS 📜 DUEL RECORD: 0–2–1 (DISPUTED) 🧡 DID NOT LAUGH. BREATH. Come, then, You. Bring the pose. Bring the impossible names. Bring everything, for I will, and know that in four centuries of challenges this is the first letter I have looked forward to sending. My lord’s cause demands your defeat. My honor demands your best. I confess — strike this, herald — I no longer always remember which of the two I am riding toward. — Zagan, Knight of the Fourwho will be early, and armored, and glad The herald notes the letter was resealed twice. The wax over the last line is thicker.
