Another notice of perhaps familiar writing and style to a prior message could be found hammered onto a few noticeboards throughout the city. Unlike before, however, this declaration carried considerably more detail and content than the first one, perhaps for the worse.
TO THE AILOR DREG CALLED HOCHMEISTER
Your antics have gone long enough without candor. Many and populous are the cowards who would disguise their malice and fetishized craving for rivers to run red as the virtue of religion, and even more so those who would resort to the reliance of other men to deliver the intent they are too weak for themselves. But I do not intend to waste this paper calling you and yours a bunch of whoresons in a dozen different ways like nearly everyone else in this city already have. No, I'm demanding for you to act.
I challenge you to a duel. You and me. All of your body, soul, and strength against mine. I challenge you, he who flaunts himself as the chosen enforcer of his Spirit's will, to best me, he who is the incarnation of everything you and yours deem evil and unholy. Priest against demon. Crusader against heretic. Hero against villain. In whatever way you want to regard it.
You and me, human. Until your bones snap like twigs. Until your lungs shrivel and croak. Until your veins are bled dry. I'm itching to see whether you, little man, can deliver the same promise to me. To see whether the weeping babes of this cesspool of a city really are right, or if you actually can bring someone to heel with your own head and hands, and that you are more than a fool with a gilded bucket on his head and a codpiece. Who knows? Maybe your Spirit actually does whisper in your ear and you do fart sunlight.
Pin your answer to whichever of the boards you find this.
You and me.
Hagmer
