A few weeks back the great Emperor of Rome issued a challenge. Anyone who dared to fight him and win will be rewarded greatly (100L$ to 1,000L$). I was not there to witness it but today the great emperor himself sent me photos of what had transpired. Included with the photos is a summary of what is now known in The Roman Empire as “An Epic Battle”.

An Epic Battle in the Coliseum.

Following a special Senate Candidate’s Tournament there was a hush over the crowd…..The Imperial Emperor of Rome, Enrich Halasy, was ‘called out’  in a heated discussion. To this he promptly challenged those that would tarnish his name or the reputation of the Roman Empire. The Emperor’s challenge was a two hour combat against none other than his Excellency.  Only one other on the arena floor to restart each battle as blood was spilt and the sands were splashed with crimson sprays of valour,  honour and bravery over the long night. Murriadoc Alter was the only Person to accept the challenge of His Excellency the Emperor of Rome.  It Was a Glorious Night.

The first person to oversee the matches was non-other than the right honorable Senate Candidate and Master At Arms Dicky Donardson. The matches went fairly quickly all in favor of the Emperor and the crowd stayed to cheer on the Emperor.

As time coursed on after a rousing 10 rounds,  or there abouts,  Roman Master At Arms -Dicky Donardson was replaced on the Arena Floor by Master At Arms - Lurgan Ling.  As the sands of the arena floor changed to crimson with both the blood of the Challenged and that of His Majesty’s,  the crowds thinned out and a relog break was taken. Within a short while the Great Warrior that is the Grand Emperor, our Caesar Enrich,  wore on with fewer victories to his name but still far ahead over all in the blood fest on the Arena floor.

At about the 47th turn there was a new referee, the right Honorable Leader of the Roman Legions and Master of Gladiators,  Ronin McGuinness.  For another 13 rounds did the two do fierce battle, a commoner against the Emperor. With the Venus of Rome present for much of the later rounds, she stayed true and supported her Emperor. With only two Romans to oversee the entire match the score count fell on another Senate Candidate, Count McCallen and Vestal Virgin Empress Merlin who stayed seated in the Nobles Section.

It is noted that Murriadoc did perform admirably in accepting the challenge.  And in the end, the Iron Will of the The Emperor ruled the day and he  upheld the mighty Reputation or Rome.

The Final tally is a most astounding record of 39 wins for The Emperor Enrich Halasy , and 19 wins to a most worthy opponent,  Murriadoc Alter. As one spectator of the arena at a mere Sparring (Aspasy Afarensis) was heard to say, “I’m very impressed! This so dangerous!”.
