Challenge for Dockside

[Anya de la Rose]

Mira,

I've been doing a lot more calling than fighting these days, and it's time to get back in the game. I spend most of my time in Dockside. This one makes sense.

I challenge you for the ring.

This sounds fun, Anya. I always love fighting people I know and respect. Come talk with me at *Endless Nights*... we'll iron out the deets and put on a spectacle people will remember, eh?

I formally accept the challenge.
