Ugh, i hate how Unicorn has all the important Champions. I hate reading Unicorn fiction.

As opposed to spider fictions? it's always angry people being angry, or dark or bleak. However you want to call it. Best response from a spider is usually stab it chop it or turn it into a zombie. Occasionally make a blood sword.

or do all three

The Khan is one of my favorite characters going in. I really liked her story this past week. I have a feeling the Dragon champ is going to die this arc however. The Khan has killed one champion so far......

I assume that you are speaking of the unnamed clan champion that held the position between Shigetoshi and when his daughter Dairoku took the Championship. One of Shigetoshi's sons apparently upheld the bloodfeud offer of a duel between the two families for the death of Min-Hee's Father, Shinjo Shono, to Akodo Shigetoshi. Akodo Shigetoshi offered a young Min-Hee a chance for a duel, and I guess she made good on the offer. I wonder what's more painful, a father having to bury his child for a duel that he offered, or a child having to grow up without a father or later a mother. While Min-Hee was straight forward in her emotions, I think she lacks compassion, her vast difference from the champion creates an interesting dichotomy.

She is awesome because of her complete lack of emotion in her decisions. She has an army to lead and she will do it with a clear mind. I agree that her contrast to your champion is awesome and if she does find out that the Shogun is kolat she will not hesitate to strike him down as well.

Mmmm we'll see, I have not seen enough of Taigo to make a decision on him. The clan has a lot of differences, but then again kolat isn't what it used to be.

I believe the obsidian champ is not only dead, but will remain vacant for the time being. From that story it sounds like Lion won that tourney decided to make it vacant instead of putting someone in that position, hence they have a crippled lion guarding hotako's weapons.

Skip to the bannanas if you want just the duel part.

Moto Taha stood behind the tree and made an attempt to still his
breathing and his beating heart. He breathed through his mouth and tried
to remain absolutely silent, listening carefully to everything around
him. There was a sudden noise nearby, and his heart leapt. He gripped
the hilt of his weapon and opened his senses, trying to find out where
his prey might be without moving. he waited, holding his himself
absolutely still, waiting until the very last moment, then he lunged
out. he moved faster than he had ever moved, swinging his weapon in a
killing arc.

Taha pulled his strike at the last possible moment,
bringing the blade to a halt only inches away from Shinjo Baeshuko's
face. She smirked slightly. "Thank you very much," she whispered, her
voice no louder than the rustling wind in the grass.

Taha lowered his weapon. "I thought you were the Khan."

Baeshuko Smirked. "As if you would ever hear the Khan approach."

"I hate these accursed exercises!" Taha muttered. "What do they prove?"

"Do
not be naive," Baeshuko admonished. "Only those who can best the Khan
are permitted the join the Khan's Elite. I want to be one of them. Do
you?"

"Yes," Taha said. "Yes, damn it! Of course I do!"

"Well then, best get a hold of yourself and resume the exercise!" Baeshuko said. "The conditions of the test are quite clear."

Taha
nodded, then paused. "The conditions do not specify the terms by which
the Khan must be bested, only that the defeat must be decisive,
correct?"

"Correct."

Taha gestured towards the scout.
"Then I say we combine our efforts. If we work together, than at least
one of us will make the cut, yes?"

Baeshuko considered it for a moment, then nodded. "And you can always try again next year," she added with a smile.

"Oh, so clever," Taha said with a sneer.

"I
shall have to speak with my advisors," a new voice said. "The criteria
currently in place for approving candidates appear to be lacking."

Taha
and Baeshuko were on guard at once, adopting defensive stances. A
massive warrior in all-concealing armor dropped from the treetops nearby
and charged, churning up the earth beneath armored feet the second they
touched the ground. Taha swung on the Khan as soon as range permitted,
but the larger warrior ducked beneath the strike and shouldered Taha to
the ground with such force that all the air was driven from his lungs in
a single whoop. Baeshuko danced away from the engagement more
carefully, then feinted and came back in, but the Khan was too fast. The
scout had her legs swept out from under her in an instant, dropping her
into the dirt next to Taha. "Do you yield?"

Baeshuko slumped back on the ground to lay flat on her back. "Yes," she said, her tone clearly upset.

"Yes," Taha agreed. "Emma-O take it, yes!"

"Mind your tongue!" Baeshuko reminded her comrade.

"Anger
is a perfectly suitable response," the Khan corrected. "It will make
him try harder the next time. If he learns nothing from this, how can he
ever hope to succeed at a later attempt?" The Khan reached up and
removed the kabuto that concealed all features, shaking her long black
hair free of the helmet as she did so. Shinjo Min-Hee, daughter of
Shinjo Shono, kicked aside the wooden weapon Moto Taha had been
weilding. "Perhaps in another few years, you will be successful."

Taha forced a smile. "Thank you, my Khan."

* * *

The
Khan entered her personal estate and took a long drink of cold water.
She placed her kabuto on the table next to her desk and began removing
her greaves. Her handmaiden Ide Toruko, approached and bowed. "I am
sorry to disturb you, my lady. I know you do not generally wish to be
disturbed before bathing after such exercises, but..."

"I assume it must be quite important, then," Min-Hee observed.

"I
felt strongly that you would wish to know that the Lion Champion's
younger brother has declined to accept the position despite all standard
protocol to the contrary."

Min-Hee stopped. "Akodo Kano declined?"

"He did, my Khan," Toruko confirmed.

She wiped her face with a soft cloth. "Who then? The sister?"

"Yes,
my Khan. The youngest of the three siblings, Akodo Dairuko, is taking
the position. There has been some... discontent among Lion over the
entire affair."

"I imagine so," Min-Hee said. "But ultimately this has very little to do with the Unicorn, and thus it is of no interest to me."

Toruko
looked surprised. "I... thought you would want to be advised. There may
be some repercussions due to your... your involvement... in the
succession."

Min-Hee shrugged. "I killed the Lion Champion in a
duel," she said. "his father killed my father in war. The cycle is now
complete. If the new Lion Champion or her wayward brother wish to pursue
a blood feud, I have no particular objection." She turned to her
handmaiden and smiled. "Thank you, that will be all."
