Well that was fast.

What will have distracted him from rowing Jonty?

Good Work to both, keep it up. =D

One thing is possible:
This chapter now has 48 pages to go.

I will tell you nicely, nobody cares about that, it is not something relevant or interesting, most only care what happens on the current page and what possibly happens on the next one, I think it is okay to formulate theories about what will happen in the future from your point of view and with some foundation. but that's it.

Oh. well, in that case,
I could send you something like a letter/picture via postal mail if you want.

What??

"I'll equalize our chances"

Proceeds to grab his opponent by the neck while he's still on the ground

Ekwalletee lol

Unless the duel hasn't begun yet and he just plans to throw him away and let him get up so they could start the duel.

yaaaa think he was gonna do something to remove that "link to his body" or whatever was giving him an advantage. I'm sure it was along those lines.

That or as a what if, knows about his "curse" and decide to use the same power jonty has against him

Uh-Oh! Looks like trouble for that poor red kid!
but what had caught Ringlid's attention so suddenly?
could it have something to do with the star that links a soul to the body?

Crap the old guy is faster then I predicted

very fast indeed.
at that kind of rate,
this dual wouldn't have a chance to begin.

Nice move, but he shouldn't have given a fair fight, he should have just pacified Jonty by any means.

By "pacified", what might you mean?

"I'll give you a fair fight" - imminently grabs the opponent by the neck and proceeds to choke him while he clearly wasn't ready and was still sitting on the ground. Good guy Ringlid lol.

I'm curious what caught his attention out there in the distance... hopefully it's not Rivenlod, breaking out of the ice-prison...

One thing's for sure:
Unless I may have overestimated the number of pages for this chapter,
we now have 48 pages left before we could find out this situation is resolved.

*eyeroll* Just shut up

Sorry.

Now I just want to see what happens

You and me both.
