The Armour Archive

I had a very rare pleasure tonight. I have just experienced watching a fighter improve in Time-Lapse.

Less than a year ago, I had the pleasure of crossing swords with a new fighter from Calontir. His name was Nakos Theodorosides, and the army had brought him to my local Stronghold on army business. He was a very nice guy. He played with us for about a month, and the army sent him someplace else. He was pretty much a stereotypical new fighter.

Tonight, I got the pleasure of fighting him again.

By comparison, it was like being dropped into a tank with the most polite great white shark in existance, or perhaps being savaged by a courteous wolf you knew as a puppy. He behavior, appearance, demenour and prowess were all excellent, and it is obvious that he has received instruction in something other than just plain being a stick jock. This young man appears to have received the right kind of training, in every way.

Of course, he now bleeds Calontiri Purple, but I suppose that is to be expected.

It is very rare to see a fighter improve this much in less than a year. I can only attribute it to the combination of personal determination, and excellent instruction.

If you know any of the persons who are involved in training fighters in the Kansas City Area, please pass on my compliments to them.

I'll make sure Baron Malachi sees this. I don't know how often he is on the AA.

Nakos? what does he look like? Does he wear white?


Oh, and HRM Martino and our own Trevor from here on the AA are/were both running training classes.

White guy, Blonde, about five eight to ten-ish, broadishly built but not fat.

Red and White gi looking under armor wear, with white greek body armor, leather shovel greaves, dished mandrake roundsheild which is covered with leather or cloth.

Leftie. Likes to throw huge wraps, fond of thrusting.

Good guy.

The most impressive thing about him is the very rapid improvement over one year, without the usual big head and thick skin. I attribute that to good training with good people.

YEP, thats Nachoes, err I mean Nakalos, umm Nakl... Nachoes.

Good kid, learns quick, I showed him a few things last time I saw him, he was like a sponge.

That reminds me, I need to pound him down next time I see him. Gotta keep these young'ns scared of the old guard. That way it is easier to beat them.

I'll try to remember that, II.
