The Chairman sat up in his chair, superb posture, his back like an arrow, an ink pen in hand. To his left lay the invitation to the wedding of Koyliak Van Duran and Matthew Algiers Simon, the still-fresh stationary filling his olfactory senses. He pressed a sheet of parchment flat to the stained wood of his desk, and wrote:
Dear Koyliak VanDuran,
Please forgive me if your name has since changed.
It was with deep regret that I was unable to attend your wedding, as numerous league-related matters have kept me tremendously busy as of late. I hope you and your husband will enjoy the enclosed gift on behalf of myself, the League and the Academy.
If memory serves me correctly, you had, not terribly long ago, offered me your services in providing a new belt for our end-of-the-season party. I would like to take you up on it, if your offer is still on the table. Please let me know when you are available to meet in order to discuss the matter in more detail.
Most sincerely,
Kiowa Sani
Iron Fists Chairman
He took great care in folding the parchment with precise symmetry, and sliding it into an envelope. He summoned his nephew into his office.
"I am in need of a gift. The perfect gift for two of the League's most reknowned fighters as they start their new family."
There was a moment's pause, and, just as the Chairman's nephew was preparing to speak, the Chairman shot out of his chair.
"That's it! Send them our finest punching bag!"
