Chapter I - The palace kitten vs the street rat.

Sally: What do my eyes see!? What's a palace kitten like you doing in a neighborhood like this?

Erin: I advise you to stay out of my business Sally.... or I'll have to teach you a lesson like last time.

Sally: Mmmm... If memory serves me correctly, I last time ended in a draw.

Erin: You were drunk and therefore I'm not surprised that you don’t remember it.

Sally: Very likely. Perhaps that's why you beat me, ha ha ha!

Erin: Then you admit I beat you. Probably the only truth that's come out of your filthy mouth in weeks. Now back off! I don't have time to "play" with a street rat like you.

Sally: Where are your refined lady manners? I'm just asking what you're doing here. You know you can't cross these streets without paying the "toll", he he he he.

Erin: Don't you know about the fencing tournament? You disappoint me. I thought you were aware of everything going on in the city.

Sally: A fencing tournament? Mmm.... sounds interesting.

Erin: Unfortunately for you, there aren't any more spots left. I've taken the last one myself! I just signed up. Ha ha ha! Once again, you lose.

Sally: Mmm.... Where and when is this tournament being held? Maybe I'll come cheer you on and wish you luck, ha ha ha!

Erin: Thanks, but I don't need your encouragement. There is no venue or date. In fact, you simply have to possess a talisman that will guide you to your opponent, then you will have to face, defeat and take the talisman from the loser. Whoever gets the other seven, she will be the winner. Duels can take place anywhere and anytime! Anyone could be your opponent. That's what makes it exciting!

Sally: Mmmm... that sounds pretty weird. What's the prize?

Erin: The prize? Of course a petty thief like you would want to know about the "prize". It's all about the glory and honor of defeat all your rivals! To measure yourself against the best fencers along the kingdom and the satisfaction of proving yourself against new challenges! Have you no honor, nor thirst for glory? Bah...Why am I wasting my time with you! Get out of my way.

Sally: The only thirst I know of is what can be quenched with wine and beer. But you've feed my curiosity. If all the participants in that tournament are prissy little bitches like you, stacked with full bags, then how can I get the opportunity to kill them and snatch their gold? I think I'm going to ask you to lend me that talisman you mentioned.

Erin: Very funny... Well, I think you'll serve as practice until my first challenge shows up. On guard!

Sally: Go ahead kitty...

Sally: Ha ha! Not bad Erin. Was that´s all?

Erin: I'm going to make you swallow my saber! You’d like that?

Sally: I prefer to swallow other kinds of “sabers” honey, ha ha! I see you've been practicing!

Erin: Shut up bitch!

Sally: Don't you get it? Maybe you are going to learn today a thing or two that daddy's paid instructor can't teach you...

Erin: Mphf! I'm tired of you!

Sally: You know what, blondie? In fencing, it's not usually the most skilled or the fastest participant that wins…

Sally: ... but the one with the most tempered nerves!

Erin: Aaaggghh....

Sally: Well, well... let's see what we have here... You know I would have love to get my hands on you under different circumstances. like in the old days!

Sally: Aha! This must be the talisman!
