A Champion’s Loyalty

"The final match is nigh!" boomed a loud and overcompensating voice-- that of the enemy champion. 

As a 'twist' that surprised far too many people, that champion tossed away their cloak and mask, revealing themselves as the lizard Gruen Grunnar... in his weird... pale-skinned, tall-elf transformation. 

Grunnar flipped back a lock of his gaudy blonde hair as he took a pose that he probably believed to be stylish. 

"So *this* is the greatest champion of your accursed Alliance?" he said smugly. 

It really was too much, the luminant gold of his hair on top of the unapologetic sheen of his golden armor. Tycondrius felt a gnawing pain in his eyes the longer he gazed upon his stupid countenance. 

The lizard-human drew his translucent, crystal-bladed sword and pointed it toward Gobbuto. 

"Watch on, rebel scum!" he shrieked, "See how easily mortal flesh burns when faced with the flames of This Royal, GRUEN GRUNNAR!"
