NEWS FROM TIGER DOJO: A NEW CHAMPION REIGNS SUPREME!
Written by Rising Anaconda, of the Harbor Herald.
The sport of Bokh has taken off in popularity recently. Each week, many more spectators and participants are seen wandering the beaches, hoping to watch some great match-ups or find a new rival on the sands. Watching sweaty, muscular combatants grapple with each other every sennight’s end is as Limsan an activity as you can get, and the foreign sport of Bokh has really delivered quality entertainment.
Last night’s competition brought with it two scions of the venerated Tiger Dojo - Tiger Bard, the successor to the dojo’s late Master Tiger Master, as well as her long time rival and former friend Tiger Bunny. It was a fight for the ages, starting with a verbal altercation and ending in a tight clinch, strong limbs locking each other in place. Tiger Bunny was reported as using techniques from the Panther school of Bokh, which raised more questions than it answered.
At first, it seemed as though Tiger Bunny had the jump - no pun intended - on Tiger Bard, but miraculously the golden child pulled through, swiping the legs out from under her former teammate and sending her to the sand. The sportsmanlike hand back up was refused, yet oddly enough, Tiger Bunny was later seen speaking to Tiger Bard very casually.
When asked about her performance, Tiger Bunny refused to comment.
“She doesn’t want to be seen as weak,” Tiger Bard said of her former teammate, “That’s why she’s gone dark and started studying the Panther technique. But she’ll soon find out that it’s friendship and teamwork that really wins the day, not special new moves.”
It’s a mystery as far as what next sennight’s tournament holds, but one hopes that Tiger Bard can pull her friend and teammate from the dark side dojo, before it claims her entirely.
