Squidfood Joe
Lazryus
This is a historical recount of the last actions and resulting downfall of Lumas "Squidfood Joe", an Elf convicted and executed for the battery and assault of Sir Bito, a Knight of the Alrasian Council. :: During his recent occupation as one of the Alrasian Guard, Lumas was repeatedly seen ignoring the chain of command and shirking duty. Oftentimes he was found wandering about and claiming to be patrolling and doing his rounds, even when he was asked inside his own domicile. Lumas was reasonably fired as such, and responded rather positively to it. :: A few days later he ran and chased after Sir Bito, demanding compensation for his lost job. Sir Bito refused to compensate the ex-guard under the reasoning that his firing was of his own fault. In response, Lumas demanded a duel to the death. One of which Sir Bito accepted eagerly. :: With several witnesses, the duel took place at the entrance into Alras, near the main gate. Cookies and concessions were passed about as the witnesses looked on at the ensuing duel. The terms of engagement were laid and agreed upon, one's loss occuring at their withdrawal or death. Lumas believed himself to be a mage and attempted to draw upon an obtuse power of the Elves he believed his race had, only to result in flinging himself at Sir Bito in a drunken rage, screaming "Die! Die!" at every breath he drew. :: Sir Bito took the apparently delusional criminal head-on, with a calm mind and a steady hand. The Elf wailed his iron sword with a frenzy, Sir Bito easily deflecting the blows. As for the ones he didn't, it merely left scratches upon his armor. Attacking in kind, Sir Bito swung and stabbed at Lumas with zeal, expertly honed strikes tearing apart the enraged Elf's armor and knocking off his helmet in the process. The duel lasted only for a few minutes before Sir Bito had won the match, killing the Elf with fatal external wounds. :: The crowd quickly cheered and went on their merry way, content in seeing his execution having carried out. As for the body, the Guard picked up the freshly bled corpse and tossed it into the sewer, where Lumas earned his new name: "Squidfood Joe". :: :: Needless to say, Jerry the Squid got the most out of everything that had transpired. He feasted like a king that day.
