"You all seek something. What you may find, instead, is entirely something else." - Master

"The Tournament is unlike anything you've yet experienced. Passed down through the generations, only the noblest, the nimblest, the swiftest, the most agile, the most determined, the strongest, and most talented of warriors have participated for the glory of victory."

"The rules are thus. I will daily create a schedule of my choosing which will pit each of you against the others. The victor will have the privilege of facing me. If I am defeated, the champion will gain all they see; the palace, the kingdom, the treasure, and the title of Master. Four days will determine the outcome."

"The combat you face here will be more than your battles in the ring. The associations amongst you will build tension, enough to provide you with the necessary thirst for blood. Despite that tension no end must come to any combatant until their roles in the Tournament have been extinguished. This is expressly forbidden."

"But once you loose in the ring your life is void."

"And now, a taste of what you shall prepare for..." - Master
