Perhaps I'm childish but I don't think it makes me an incompetent fighter to need help taking on someone three times as skilled as myself.

Notice I don't say it's unfair that they kill me. Or that I won't continue to stand and fight when jumped singly.

There will be a day when I need no help with the likes of Zenichiro. I look forward to it, because it will be a long hard time for many when I exact my payback.

Until then, my worthy adversary, I will take no shame in defeat and learn from it. And I will defend myself. If that means I get help against bigger players, I feel no remorse. At least I don't team people smaller than myself.

A note. You, Xandamere, have acted with honour to me and earned my respect.

Would that I could say the same for most of your compatriots.

Looking ahead,

Sir Cuchulainn
