Salut mes cozyns e mes frais,
I wish to praise Centurion Ysfael and his noble son Ivar (forgive me if I've
misspelled this name). Near the end of the third bridge battle at Legacy of
Lions, armed with two swords, I confronted Ivar, armed with a glaive. As I
sized up young Ivar and readied for his first blow, I was distracted by an
approaching polearmsman behind him. The distraction was brief--but a
fraction of a second--but Ivar read my hesitation and executed a perfect
blow to my right shoulder. The shot glanced off my sword but was delivered
expertly and with just the right force: stout but not devastating.
I was impressed by Ivar's deft handling of this weapon, but I was even more
impressed with what I saw as I departed the field. Centurion Ysfael was
smiling mightily and his face held such a resplendant glow of fatherly pride
that...well, I find myself tearing up even as I experience it in retrospect.
At Ivar's age, I would have sold my soul to see that light in my father's
eyes.
Ivar, well struck, milord. Continue to learn and grow at your current rate;
I foresee discussions of you in the Chivalric Circle in the not-too-distant
future.
Centurion Ysfael, you are clearly a fine teacher and splendid father. I hope
this report brings you more students than you can handle.
lo vostre per vos servir
Meser Lyonel Oliver Grace
