The Blacksmith and the Arena

Now, where was I? Ah yes! Those two warriors didn't hold back. The clangs from our swords echoed throughout the entire arena! It was beautiful. And then suddenly, with one fierce strike, Dorin's blade shattered into a thousand pieces! I won't lie, I've never felt a greater rush of pride. I had finally proven myself to be Dorin's superior! But it also dealt a crushing blow to Dorin's spirit. A few days later, Dorin vanished without a word. Shortly thereafter, rumors began to emerge that I had somehow sabotaged Dorin's weapon to make it easier to break. Do I need to spell out who was behind all of this? Mevo orchestrated the entire thing! It still makes me furious to think he started this entire mess. It caused my falling out with Dorin and his sudden disappearance. I was wrought with guilt, but this is on Mevo. I'll tell you how I know. No one else is capable of devising a plot of such cunning.

There is no doubting it. Mevo Muranan stole my techniques to forge his weapon, and reinforced MY methods with the power of the Black Crystals. Now that we know about the awesome powers of the crystals, it's little wonder Mevo managed to claim victory that day.
