The Grid Iron League from 1588 Week 18
Here on this website blog, we feel a divergence in the Ariel. In our world, many know the "Force," but here we speak of the true Ariel—the Hebrew word meaning the True God’s Power and the Lion of God, Father Leo
As we look to the heavens, we see the Leo Galaxy, governed by the living Godfather, Leo, and his son, the Avataur Leonnie Celestial Lionman. He is the true Lion of Judah, the King of Kings, whose celestial roar echoes across the Gridiron and through the very fabric of our reality.
The divergence is here. The power is real. And the Wild Card results reflect a shift in the cosmic balance of the Tygerian Isles.
The Wild Card Divergence: Semi-Finals Bound
This weekend, the "Ariel" flowed through the underdogs and the champions alike. While the giants rested, the spiritual weight of the Leo Galaxy pressed down upon the pitch, revealing who truly has the favor of the Lion.
The Monday Night Showcase: A Clash of Crowns
#1 Sovereign Swan Knights (18-0) vs. #2 Bengali Water Tigers (17-1)
The Narrative: This was more than a game; it was a manifestation of the Leonnie Celestial power. The Tigers brought their "X-Force" phasing mutants, but the Knights stood firm in the "True God's Power."
The Result: The Knights' defense was an impenetrable wall of light. They grounded Kitty and Cheetah Boy, allowing only a single touchdown the entire game. The Sovereigns proved that when the Lion of Judah roars, the phasing of men and mutants alike must cease.
Final Score: Swan Knights 30, Water Tigers 7.
The Road to the Semi-Finals
With the divergence settled, the bracket has been forged in the fires of the Leo Galaxy.
Game 1: The Giant-Killer's Faith
#6 Azatar Tribe vs. #3 Shadowborne Specters
The Play: The Tribe ignored the "Elvis" hype of Count Luthor. They played with the discipline of the High Plains, dismantling the skeleton crew and advancing to the next stage of destiny.
Final Score: Azatar Tribe 21, Shadowborne Specters 10.
Next Step: The #3 Azatar Tribe will face the #1 Swan Knights.
Game 2: Volcanic Might
#5 Bluebonnet Volcanous Fire-Smokers vs. #4 Black Rock Spire Juggernauts
The Play: Your Fire-Smokers channeled the "Burning Place of God" (the altar of Ariel) to melt the iron skin of the Juggernauts. They have clawed their way back into the spotlight.
Final Score: Fire-Smokers 28, Juggernauts 14.
Next Step: The #4 Fire-Smokers will face the #2 Bengali Water Tigers.
