Challenge to the Keeper of Water

[Esperwind]

Neo, you bear the hallmarks of being too comfortable with your position. You are hereby challenged for your Key and title.

Etherean Esperwind

[DUEL Topaz]

This challenge is valid and may proceed.

[Neo Eternity]

Interesting... the man who held the Tower of Fire for two years is calling me "too comfortable with my position." However, what I will give you is that you had considerably more challenges than I. I've held my tower for one year and only defended twice.

But if you think for one second that I've forgotten how ephemeral my title is just because I have had a low volume of challenges and have held it for a long time, you're wrong. Tass could have easily taken it away. Artemus could have easily taken it away. You could easily take it away. And provided I make it through this, someone else in the future could easily take it away.

I gladly accept your challenge. I'll be in touch with you regarding time and date.

[Neo Eternity]

Etherean and I will be holding this challenge this upcoming Tuesday, at 10 PM RDT.

Is there a caller available to handle this one?

[Kalamere]
