[Scarlett]

Last minute..Scarlett was usually prompt but had been very undecided about this tournament. However, wanting to make her Mentor proud, she approached the cork and placed her name as an entrant.

I will participate in this tournament. Thank you.

FINALS

(6) Rachael Blackthorne vs. (9) Anubis

In this rematch of an earlier round, Anubis opened the fight with two-straight points, jumping out to an early lead. But Rachael fought back, wielding her staff to find a high opening and getting on the board. After a scoreless round, Anubis extended his lead once more, expertly avoiding a direct strike from the staff. Once again, however, Rachael would not let up, attacking and breaking through Anubis' defense to score two unanswered points and tying the fight back up. Rachael soon found her first lead of the fight at match point! But Anubis would not be counted out yet, and forced a sudden death round as his defense finally held true. At the pivotal moment, Anubis made a big gamble with an aggressive attack, and it was Rachael's stalwart strike that managed to seal the deal!

Rachael Blackthorne def. Anubis Karos , 5 - 4 in 10 rounds
