The contest started with the February issue and entries were submitted until March 15. The judges were GM Mimi, Aodhan, and MOD Horonaim. The votes were in and it was a TIE! Liquid won via popularity and everyone was itching to know who Shadow is and so did I.
The letters were sent in the nick of time, although I must say that Shadow Incarna's
letter really had me blushing. And without a doubt it won my heart and decided to let Shadow win.
The date was set around four in the afternoon at Lode Falls, Bellato HQ. Anxiety has come a knocking more than twice after the chip war ended around two o'clock in the afternoon while I was cooling my heels waiting for the time of the date. Curious as others were, I wanted the date to be as hush-hush as possible. I wanted to know for myself who this mystery guy was.
A guildmate, who is also a friend, was following me and I kept telling him to go away. He said that he wanted to see who this Shadow Incarna is. A minute later he said something to me,
"I have just one thing to say, I'll leave you be after."
I kept on looking afar feeling that he might already be in the premises. He then continued,
"Oh my. Yes, I will be available. I shall meet you there."
To my surprise, it was the same words that came from Shadow Incarna on replying to my confirmation letter.
"So it is you," I said with a smile and I felt my face flushing from embarrassment. Kahlil Yronhand. I never thought he'd be romantic.
