Christian Kenway: The name-changing Mercenary General

Attacking

Cadwalader Owain Jones: The Great Captain from Wales.

Prologue
Lloyd Kumar and Celina Lucyna enter the area they termed The Arena. Moving silently, they split up and enter two different doors, Lloyd entering the one titled "Siege User Tourney Sign-ups" and Celina entering the one titled "My Resignation"

Lloyd looks at the various screens, which seem to have been updated as their fight progressed. Looking at one of them, he takes out the paper and pen he stole from their library and jots down a list, pairing the Users with their hosts.

''Well, you three did a good job figuring things out. I think it's time for you two, however, to go back. Wouldn't want to miss your next battle, would you?''

Lloyd's panic that Leo had found them is quickly replaced by a gut-wrenching sensation as he is teleported back to his room.

Shouldn't have eaten...

Lloyd walks to the mess hall, grabs another helping and sits down to replenish his now-empty stomach. Where do they get all this food, anyway? he wonders, gorging himself.

Oh, that's a secret for another time, Leo says.

Celina, looking in much the same condition, grabs a helping for herself and sits down.

"Well, all I was able to find was that someone who went by 'MasterofAwesomeness' - which is a stupid name - had left the wiki around the time Billybob disappeared."

"Well, that was Billybob's host," Lloyd says. "You tell Cadwalader - and we're holding another all-generals meeting after my next fight. I'll be in the library."

"You always are."
