[Oswald has never participated in a tournament or any other contests for sport before, but at least he's familiar with the concept. But this one is strange. Is he really meant to prove only his courage? Normally being challenged to fight a wyvern would mean he was expected to kill it, but for this bout, he isn't even allowed to use his sword.
Still, he feels no fear. This creature is much smaller and weaker than a true dragon. The crowd seems, to him, to be overreacting--he sidesteps a simple charge and dozens of people gasp. He hasn't even wrestled the wyvern into submission when the timer runs out, and yet the spectators cheer as though he's won.
Well, it's between rounds now, so he's free. Got anything to say to the man who's been about as fearful as a stone through the whole contest?]

...Just as there are many worlds, it seems death has many faces. It seems to work differently in some worlds... in my own, I had the misfortune of crossing paths more than once with the queen of the Netherworld.
But Empatheias has no land of the dead--not as far as the locals claim to know. So if anyone is listening, tell me. Where you came from, what did you know of the afterlife? I am... curious.
