Fraught with worry of the missing Covians, Axiana was finding it difficult to focus on the event that she had arranged with Mr De Blaze in Vesper. Everyone was already milling about outside swaggers, when she arrived. Mr De Blaze had set up ready for the joust, the Vesperian colours were glaring at her from the jousting area, and several stalls were set up, these included a funeral stall (for a Covian's impending death, no doubt!), a clothing stall and one consisting of a large quantity of alcohol.Those participating formed an orderly line in front of Leanne to sign up (Please see Leanne's report for paintings). Realizing that she had forgotten the lances for the joust, Axiana left Leanne to 'hold the fort' whilst she rode back to Cove to retrieve them. After Axiana's opening speech, Leanne began to call forth the contestants from the lists:-Round 1

After awarding the prizes, Axiana thanked their host, her herald and those in attendance. She wearily gathered the horses and began to head home. She had not walked far when she disovered a 'bloodied mess' along with a note, behind the Swaggers! She took a sharp involuntary intake of breath. Another Covian had been taken! "We have her Cove! Meet our terms and ye shall see her face again"
Axiana paled.
