Challenge to the TRUE IDOL (Challenge for Cadentia)

MATT SIMON

I'm the one who walks the deserts of Cadentia
I'm the one who FLIES against its BLISTERING SUN
I'm the one FORGED BY ITS HEAT
and by the RIGHTS VESTED IN ME BY THE TALON OF REDWIN
I CHALLENGE YOU FOR THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED ITS BARON
DO NOT DISAPPOINT ME, MIGHTY WARRIOR

X Troy Falcon Kameron
X Suzaku

(The "X" that represents Suzaku's co-signature appears to have been made with a large talon. When pulled from the wall, the quill can be seen to be sharpened at the end, with the remnants of dried ink on its tip.)

Although Troy does not have a gracebreaker grant, he does have the Talon grant and Matt is eligible for challenge. Therefore:



- Title holder acceptance must be publicly posted within 5 days of this validation.
- The challenge must be fought within two weeks (14 days) of validation.
- This tool will assist in helping verify the required dates.

Can't promise anything on the disappointment front, but challenge accepted.

Tonight, at 9:00 PM the 9th of May, I bore official witness to the challenge for Cadentia between challenger Troy Falcon Kameron, and defender Baron Matt Simon.

“Troy has no second. His bird of honor will be Suzaku, and his banner is a single, foot-long red feather!"He points towards Troy, just in case the home crowd doesn't know who that is! "Show us your banner, Mr. Kameron!"

"Matt's banner is black and yellow, he has no second, but all the people of honor! Look at them all! Koy, Thia, Malachite!" A display of images goes out to RhyDin!

Matt set the format at a best of three, and we got the show on the road!

The first match started out strong for both duelists with a hi-lo trade, but the challenger struggled, allowing the baron to score four more points over the next seven rounds while being unable to add to his score.

Ring Warriors 8: Goldglo scores! (LC / FSS | 5 - 1, Goldglo leads.) FINAL: Goldglo def. Troy Falcon Kameron, 5 - 1 in 8 rounds. - dos

The second and final match was a far more heated encounter. Troy scored first, in round three, only to have Matt take it back in the fourth. Troy would score full points twice more before Matt rallied back again in the seventh. The eight round was another trade, this time of thrusts, and the score was locked at three to three and a half all the way through round ten. Another high low trade in the 11th put Troy at Match Point, but a null round in the twelfth led to Matt retaking the lead in the thirteenth, and then closing out the challenge in the fourteenth.
