And just like that, you organized the duel. The Takar is spared from the normal punishment of questioning the Supreme Ruler (which is death) and insulting the Supreme Ruler (which is torture + death) to instead fight in a duel to the death!
This man is clearly of the Takar line- a gifted Xenobiologist as your records recall. He's in his early thirties; at the peak of his physical strength. You are an elderly man. But you are Eoba Garastra. If he fought you anywhere near your prime, it just wouldn't be a fair fight.
Suspended high over the ground at sunset- you engage in the ritual fighting of Tailcutter, the most noble of duels. Here, both fighters have their tails tied together- forcing one to lean forward to attack the bind or the opponent's tail, thus leaving their face and neck closer to their blade. To cut an opponent's tail off is the ultimate and proper way to "win" this contest- the fall kills them, not your knife. Any Jaxtian without a tail would fall from this platform; and no proper Jaxtian would want to live without a tail- because a Jaxtian without a tail <span class="mu-i">is a slave</span>.
Who will win this duel?
>Eoba
>The Challenger
