"ThAnk You" Stripetail said As he put the card in his deck. The Human handed him the Trophy and shook hands with him. "That was simply amazing sir' the Human said. "You flatter me" Stripetail said, but he smiled as the human broke off the handshake. "sire if you would hold the trophy above your head bso we can get a nice picture for the Dinoton NEws" A Dinoton called out, and several flashes lit up Stripetail's figure as he held up the trophy. Soon One of the humans came over to clear a path for Stripetail to exit the stadium. "Wait , sire" A Voice called out from behind him. He Turned and Givire stood there. Givire walked up to him, in his paw he held five red cards. "These are the Red Cards of Earth 51, the most powerful cards a Earth 51 wizard can possess." "Givire, if I may ask.why didn't you play these?" "Well, sire.the cards were divided among us, we each had one.but we had already agreed before amongst ourselves that the winner of the duel would get all 5 cards. And, well they were near the bottom of our decks. Take them Sire" He Pressed them into Stripetail's paws. "i Insist. " Givire looked tired. STripetail reluctantly put them into his deck and shuffled it. He Then Turned back to Givire. "you don't look too good , if I May say so Givire". Givire wore a faint smile.
"Can you keep a secret My Lord?' Givire 's voice dropped to a whisper. "I'm dying Sire, i have a magical disease which is draining me of my powers. I have had it for nearly sixty years, but it has gotten much worse over the last few years. I will likely die within five years, or so my doctor has told me. This duel we have just finished will be my last, " Givire paused and sighed heavily. STripetail looked aroung the crowd to break up the uncomfortable silence. He Saw C-Stripetail and Eva looking for him. "STripetail! Eva! over here! He called out, and they ran over towards him. "I Promise to keep your secret, but this will not remain a secret for long' He Said to givire. "the other Elite must have noticed your condition" Givire shook his head. " I have not told them, yet. But you're right, I will have to tell them soon. Goodbye , Sire. Dueling with you has been a great honor" He Shook with Stripetail and disappearred into the crowd.
