Rimitorry Ka’ Tora, commonly called Rim, is a fictional warrior, Princess of Gia and major character in the Tribal Universe, created by Tony James Nelson II, writing as Tribal Brown. Her first published appearance—and first comic appearance—was in Dark Justice, the first issue of Tribal Comics, published on March 12, 2026. She later appeared as a major character in the novel Tribal Bloody Beginnings and became the protagonist and first-person narrator of Rimitorry: Daughter of the Dark Alpha, the first book in the Children of the Dark Alpha series.

Rimitorry is the daughter of The Dark Alpha and Queen Utrea. Born on Murder Island and raised during the formation of the Ka’Rukan Empire, she is trained in Ka’ru combat, tracking, wilderness survival, concealed blades and the use of twin Ka’ru-linked chakrams. Her mother’s victory in the Gia Calling gives Rim a royal title, but her identity remains divided among Gia, Ka’Rukan, Nebu and the family shaped around the Dark Alpha.

Her central conflict concerns the relationship between protection and appetite. Rim learns that killing can transfer part of a victim’s Ka’ru to the killer. What begins as a survival mechanism becomes a source of strength she actively desires. Her story follows her effort to acknowledge that hunger without allowing it to replace her identity, family bonds or capacity for restraint.

In Sakori’s Fury: Tribal Comics #4, Rim is excluded from the assault on Gia because of her divided family loyalties. She instead joins Thirty-Two, later named Jabari Nthanda, in a search beneath Nebu for a key connected to the Tribal Bible. The comic was published by Roovet Books on July 17, 2026, as a 42-page visual adaptation of Chapter 18 of Tribal Bloody Beginnings.

⚠Spoiler warning: The following sections contain major plot details from Rimitorry: Daughter of the Dark Alpha, Tribal Bloody Beginnings and Sakori’s Fury: Tribal Comics #4.

Character role

Rimitorry connects the childhood history of the Dark Alpha’s family to the later political conflict among Gia, Nebu, Terra and the surviving powers of Murder Island. Her origin novel presents the world through a child who is loved by conquerors, protected by warriors and trained to become dangerous before she can fully understand the institutions surrounding her. The adult timeline places that same character between parents, kingdoms and loyalties that have become enemies.

Her position changes according to culture and location:

Setting	Position	Significance
Murder Island	Daughter of the Dark Alpha and Utrea	A protected child of a powerful warrior family, but not a princess
Ka’Rukan Empire	Child of Ka’Rukan and member of the generation associated with the Red Heirs	A warrior identity tied to the empire created around her family
Gia	Princess of Gia	A royal title inherited through Utrea’s position as queen
Nebu	Daughter of the Dark Alpha and partner of Thirty-Two	A politically important but divided figure connected to both Nebu and Gia

Ka’Rukan does not define power through kings, queens or conventional royal titles. Rim is therefore a princess specifically through Gia’s political system. The title does not erase her Murder Island upbringing, battlefield training or attachment to the children raised around Ka’Rukan.

Across her appearances, Rim also operates as a narrative bridge. Rimitorry: Daughter of the Dark Alpha supplies the childhood context behind her relationships, abilities and hunger for Ka’ru. Tribal Bloody Beginnings presents the adult consequences of that history, while Sakori’s Fury places her beside Thirty-Two in the hidden conflict over the Tribal Bible as the visible war unfolds in Gia.

Appearance

Rimitorry is depicted as a dark-haired human woman with a trained warrior’s build and eyes compared to aged whiskey, a trait associated with Utrea. Her visual design combines royal and battlefield elements rather than presenting them as separate identities.

Her most recognizable features include:

• dark hair;
• whiskey-colored eyes;
• twin black chakrams;
• red Ka’ru energy moving through the weapons;
• concealed blades;
• and clothing suited to movement, combat and travel.

When Rim channels Ka’ru into her chakrams, red lines become visible through their dark metal. This energy gives the weapons a distinct visual identity and reflects their connection to her body and emotional state.

Comic depictions

Sakori’s Fury: Tribal Comics #4, in which Rimitorry watches the invasion of Gia while searching for the Tribal Bible key.

Rimitorry makes her first comic appearance in Dark Justice. The issue places her with Thirty-Two in a candlelit library, where she directs him toward a living black volume and encourages him to read the suppressed history of the Thirteen Chambers. Her role frames the revelation: she already knows that the official tribal story is incomplete, while Thirty-Two experiences the chamber system’s true history for the first time. The issue ends when Rim refuses to identify the final two members of the surviving group and points Thirty-Two toward the next volume, Murder Island.

Sakori’s Fury later depicts adult Rimitorry inside Nebu during the invasion of Gia. She appears beside Thirty-Two in the Dark Alpha’s throne room, enters the bone-walled elders’ quarters and observes the siege through a glass-like magical window. The comic emphasizes her whiskey-colored eyes, emotional restraint and divided connection to both sides of the conflict. Unlike the combat-centered Sakori storyline, her visual arc is built around observation, forbidden knowledge, grief and movement toward Nebu’s original foundation.

Fictional biography

Birth and childhood loneliness

Rim gives two accounts of her birth because her parents remember the night differently. Utrea describes a calm sea, warm air and a sky filled with stars. The Dark Alpha remembers fire, screaming and warfare. The opposing memories establish the forces that define Rim’s childhood: love and violence, home and conquest, tenderness and fear.

She grows up near the warriors later remembered as The Five. Although protected by powerful adults, Rim has no nearby children her own age. She follows Utrea, creates imaginary kingdoms and longs for a sibling before she fully understands what the word means. Her father recognizes that loneliness but does not openly discuss it.

At four, Rim encounters the first Conri Tora in the forest. He appears young but carries an ancient presence and speaks as though he already knows what her father will become. Rather than warning Rim away from approaching kidnappers, he exploits her desire for companionship. He promises that the men will take her to children who can run and play with her and instructs her not to scream.

Kidnapping and Nhem’Rakul

Rim is taken by warriors led by Zharo Vhun. The group includes Oshara Venn, Ma’rek Zhul, Tavu Nhek and the elder Eru’Kai. They carry her toward Nhem’Rakul, the hidden settlement called the Hollow Where Fire Dies, intending to use her as leverage against her family.

Inside Nhem’Rakul, Rim meets children whose lives have been shaped by scarcity, fear and survival:

• Nahla Voss, a commanding and suspicious girl;
• Kovi Renn, a clever thief;
• Sura Keth, a quiet observer;
• Veyu Orak, an older boy who initially sees Rim as a threat;
• Polezah, a traumatized child with an unusual interest in bodies;
• and Eshari, the green-eyed survivor who has already helped reveal Rim’s trail.

Eshari tells the pursuing warriors that she saw painted men take Rim east. Her information helps the Dark Alpha, Utrea, Kavumo, Knargz and Zuberi locate Nhem’Rakul. The family overwhelms its warriors, traps and bridges. During the destruction, Kavumo reaches Rim, covers her eyes and carries her from the massacre. He prevents her from seeing the ending, but not enough to erase what she has already witnessed.

The attack changes the family’s political direction. Rim’s father concludes that holding territory is not sufficient protection and begins treating future conquest as a way to eliminate threats before they can reach his family. Nhem’Rakul consequently becomes both a childhood trauma and a foundation for Ka’Rukan’s expansion.

Eshari, Polezah and chosen family

After the rescue, Eshari declares herself Rim’s older sister. Rim initially resists, but Eshari becomes her closest childhood protector and emotional anchor. She gives Rim a smooth black stone and tells her that if the stone ever disappears while she is sleeping, she must hide. The object comes to represent vigilance, trust and protection that remains meaningful even when the protector is absent.

Polezah is also taken into the family after Kavumo discovers him hiding during Nhem’Rakul’s fall. He is frightened, observant and fascinated by dead animals, wounds, bones, healing and the ways bodies fail. Rim cares for him while recognizing that his curiosity may eventually become dangerous. His early behavior anticipates the doctor and Ka’ru researcher he becomes in the adult timeline.

Nahla, Kovi, Sura and Veyu join the broader generation raised around Rim. Their different survival skills—command, theft, observation and spear fighting—help turn the children’s group into a network capable of operating inside the growing empire.

Rise of the Ka’Rukan Empire

Rim grows up as Ka’Rukan develops from defended territory into an organized power controlling villages, roads, river crossings, farms, hunting grounds, training areas, military forces and tribute routes. Supporters call it the Empire of Ka’ru-Blood, while some enemies call it the Five Empire. Rim understands it primarily as home.

Her training begins early and includes:

• tracking and hunting;
• knife throwing and concealed weapons;
• reading blood, disturbed soil and animal behavior;
• recognizing traps and ambushes;
• hiding and sensing Ka’ru;
• battlefield survival;
• and judging when an opponent has become careless.

Utrea gives her a sleeve knife and teaches her to use it when an enemy believes she has nothing left. At eight, a raider lifts Rim by the throat during an attack on Ka’Rukan. Unable to breathe or overpower him, she remembers the lesson and kills him with the hidden blade. The act saves her life but begins connecting death, survival and Ka’ru in her mind.

As she grows older, Rim and other children become associated with the Red Heirs. They participate in border defense, tribute missions, raids, rescues and operations against enemy settlements and Root-Eaters. Rim develops the authority to lead warriors and accept surrender, but the missions also expose the narrow difference between protecting an empire and enjoying control over others. Her memory of Halvek becomes especially important because she recognizes that fear and obedience can feel dangerously similar to victory.

The Six-Flame household

The household surrounding Rim continues to expand. Sakori, called Cori by the family, enters her life as a defiant child who resists the Dark Alpha and refuses to break under harsh training. He becomes Rim’s brother through shared upbringing, combat and survival rather than blood.

Zafira arrives as a younger child with brandy-colored eyes and a volatile temperament. She forms a strong attachment to Cori. Rim attempts to earn her trust with stones, fruit, weapons lessons and patient presence. Zafira eventually calls her “Rim,” adopting the intimate name first used by Eshari, and becomes one of the younger children Rim feels responsible for protecting.

Khalembo is brought into the household as an infant with blue eyes and an unnaturally calm presence. As he grows, he speaks with disturbing certainty and appears to understand events beyond an ordinary child’s knowledge. Before Rim enters the Wilds, he tells her to bring her name home. When she returns, he asks whether she brought Rim back along with the hunger.

These children, together with Polezah and the Nhem’Rakul survivors, transform Ka’Rukan’s family into a combination of blood relations, rescued children, adopted survivors and chosen siblings. The Six-Flame Palace becomes the architectural expression of that expanded alliance.

Chakrams and developing Ka’ru

Rim eventually adopts twin black chakrams as her signature weapons. When charged, red Ka’ru lines appear through the metal. She learns to store energy inside them, change their cutting force, throw them along curved paths, sense their location and recall them after release.

The weapons give unstable energy somewhere to gather beyond her body. Her father sees their growth as proof of her potential. Utrea worries that the chakrams may teach Rim how to become stronger without teaching her when strength should stop. They consequently function as both practical weapons and symbols of control, identity and temptation.

The dark year and Koth’Mara trial

The household’s stability weakens when Kavumo answers the Terra Calling and leaves. Rim experiences the departure as abandonment. Her grief develops into a dark year in which training becomes both escape and punishment.

At seventeen, she is sent alone into the Koth’Mara Wilds for fourteen days. The trial is intended to reveal who she is without her parents, siblings, soldiers or empire naming her. She enters with limited supplies, her chakrams and Eshari’s black stone.

Rim demonstrates the ability to locate water and safe food, conceal tracks, identify traps, hide her Ka’ru, heal injuries and survive repeated attacks. After killing hostile warriors, she feels part of their Ka’ru enter her. At first she kills in self-defense. As the energy strengthens her body, senses and healing, she begins seeking opponents and judging them according to the power their deaths may provide.

The trial becomes a hunt. Rim kills some opponents after surrender and pursues at least one person who tries to flee. She eventually encounters Varek Osh, an experienced warrior who once fought beside Utrea and watches the western borders because of an old debt to her. He recognizes the hunger and warns that it grows faster than power. Rim kills him for his Ka’ru despite his refusal to attack first. The strength released by his death briefly makes her laugh, forcing her to confront the difference between necessary violence and appetite.

Near the trial’s end, Rim defeats another group and prepares to kill its last fleeing survivor. Remembering Varek, she orders the warrior to run. No one witnesses the decision. Its importance comes from the fact that she chooses restraint without expecting praise, proving that the hunger has not completely erased her agency.

Return and the Gia Calling

Rim returns to Ka’Rukan stronger, blood-covered and unable to remember exactly how many people she killed. Her family immediately recognizes the change. She nearly reaches for a weapon when Zafira runs toward her. Cori tells her that she came back wrong, and Khalembo says that she brought hunger home.

Utrea asks whether she enjoyed killing. Rim answers honestly and admits that she still wants more Ka’ru. When her father asks who returned from the Wilds, she identifies herself simply as “Rim.” The answer confirms that her chosen identity survived even though the hunger returned with her.

Soon afterward, Murder Island announces a Calling for Gia. Utrea enters an arena with one hundred warriors and names Rim and Sakori as her two claims. Utrea wins, earning the right to leave beneath Gia’s authority with both children. Her victory ultimately establishes her as Queen of Gia and makes Rim a princess through her mother.

The departure divides the family. Eshari, Zafira, Khalembo and the Dark Alpha remain behind while Rim leaves with Utrea and Cori. Eshari refuses to reclaim the black stone, telling Rim that it is now proof she can survive alone. Rim leaves Murder Island carrying the stone, her name, her family bonds, her increased Ka’ru and the hunger awakened in the Wilds.

Gia, Nebu and adult life

Life in Gia introduces Rim to formal royalty, court expectations and a system in which Utrea’s position gives her legal and symbolic authority. Rim does not become a conventional princess. She remains a trained Murder Island warrior with scars, battlefield experience, chakrams and divided loyalties.

In Tribal Bloody Beginnings, adult Rim moves between the competing worlds associated with her parents. She fights trained Nebu wolves, reconnects with members of her childhood family and develops a relationship with Thirty-Two, a Nebu proctor whose original identity has been erased by conditioning. She refuses to treat his numerical designation as the whole of his personhood and gives him the name Jabari Nthanda.

Rim’s adult history also reveals a wider sibling network. Reonniz, a biological son of the Dark Alpha and Utrea, is hidden in Terra, while other children and chosen family members move among Gia, Ka’Rukan and Nebu. These revelations reinforce the extent to which family relationships drive the Tribal Universe’s political conflicts.

Assault on Gia

Main article: Tribal Comics Issue 4: Assault on Gia - Sakori's Fury

Sakori’s Fury adapts the assault on Gia from Chapter 18 of Tribal Bloody Beginnings. Sakori carries the visible battlefield narrative, while Rim and Thirty-Two pursue the hidden conflict over the Tribal Bible beneath Nebu.

Exclusion from the invasion

The Dark Alpha announces a three-sided invasion of Gia. Zuberi is assigned the eastern flank with five hundred Nebu warriors, Deathwave takes the western approach, the Harpies attack through the southern cliffs and Alpha takes the main gate to confront Utrea.

Alpha refuses to allow Rim to participate. He argues that she carries Gia in her blood, is recognized by its warriors and may hesitate when confronted by her mother. Rim insists that she does not hesitate, but Alpha answers that she has not done so yet. The order makes her divided identity an explicit strategic problem.

After the army departs, Rim concludes that Alpha intends to kill Utrea. Thirty-Two redirects her anger toward the search for the Tribal Bible key, giving them an objective that can strengthen them before Alpha returns.

Search beneath Nebu

Rim accompanies Thirty-Two into the elders’ quarters, a corridor built from human bone and illuminated by blue flames that produce no heat. An ancient blind elder tells them that the key lies in Nebu’s oldest place, deeper than its library or throne room.

Rim identifies the location as the original foundation: a sealed lower structure that existed before Nebu expanded. The elder explains that its path is protected by traps and puzzles unaffected by raw Ka’ru. He describes the key as a cipher that redirects the physical cost of reading the Tribal Bible. It will not grant Thirty-Two additional pages, but may prevent him from bleeding to death when he reads them.

The exchange establishes Rim’s importance to the mission. Thirty-Two possesses the ability to read the pages, while Rim contributes family history and knowledge of Nebu’s older physical structure.

Witness to the battle

The elder recognizes Rim’s desire to see Gia and creates a glass-like magical window. Through it, Rim and Thirty-Two witness the invasion’s separate fronts:

• Sakori defeats Zuberi but allows him to live;
• Sakori breaks Deathwave’s arm and throws him through a wall;
• two Harpies are killed while Zinetha is allowed to escape;
• Sakori confronts Alpha at the main gate;
• Khalembo arrives and secretly reunites with Sakori beneath the appearance of hostility;
• Utrea and Kavumo join the battle against Alpha.

The window gives Rim a more complete understanding of the siege than most fighters on the ground. It also forces a character defined by action to witness danger without the ability to intervene.

After Utrea and Kavumo are wounded, Sakori moves between Alpha’s sword and Utrea. Rim sees the blade pass through her brother’s chest. The magical window collapses immediately, leaving her without confirmation of his survival.

Toward the foundation

The elder tells Rim and Thirty-Two to move while Alpha remains occupied in Gia. Rim wipes away her tears, takes Thirty-Two’s hand and runs toward Nebu’s sealed foundation. The decision does not end her grief; it demonstrates her ability to convert helplessness in one place into action somewhere else.

The sequence ends her immediate Issue 4 storyline with the key still hidden and the foundation’s traps unresolved. It positions Rim and Thirty-Two as parallel protagonists to the battle: Sakori defends Gia through direct combat while they search for knowledge capable of changing how the Tribal Bible can be used.

Personality

Rimitorry is portrayed as loyal, intense, perceptive, competitive, stubborn and emotionally guarded. She can be compassionate, but usually expresses care through protection, vigilance, preparation and physical presence rather than softness.

Trait	Expression in the story
Loyalty	Once Rim accepts someone as family, she treats their safety as a serious obligation.
Independence	She resists being reduced to her parents, royal title or assigned role. “Rim” becomes a name she chooses for herself.
Competitiveness	Her desire to improve is strengthened by rivalry, especially with Eshari, but can develop into resentment or recklessness.
Emotional perception	Rim frequently recognizes the wounded person beneath titles, numbers and public roles, most clearly in her relationship with Jabari.
Aggression	She is willing to kill quickly when threatened and can become predatory when another warrior’s Ka’ru attracts her.
Self-awareness	Rim admits that killing and increased power can feel good instead of pretending the desire does not exist.
Fear of abandonment	Childhood loneliness and repeated family separations make departure and rejection especially painful.
Moral conflict	She understands that an action can be wrong while still desiring its reward. Her capacity for regret helps preserve her restraint.

Rim does not develop by becoming harmless. Her growth centers on recognition and choice: admitting what she wants, identifying when appetite is influencing judgment and deciding whether to obey it.

Powers and abilities

Ability	Description
Ka’ru manipulation	Rim can direct Ka’ru into strength, speed, endurance, healing, senses, resistance and weapons. She can raise or suppress her energy according to the situation.
Ka’ru sensing	She can detect nearby warriors, direction of movement, hidden energy and approximate power. This ability becomes dangerous when she begins evaluating people as potential sources of Ka’ru.
Ka’ru absorption	Part of the energy built during a person’s life may pass to the killer. Rim repeatedly receives increased strength, perception and healing after killing powerful opponents.
Enhanced strength	Rim can overpower trained warriors, damage weapons, break bones, throw opponents and continue fighting after severe impacts.
Enhanced speed and reflexes	She can avoid close-range attacks, redirect weapons and fight multiple enemies rapidly. Eshari is more specialized in pure speed, while Rim combines speed with strength and aggression.
Healing	Rim can close wounds, slow bleeding, stabilize fractures and continue fighting after injuries that would disable an ordinary human. Improperly directed healing may close an injury incorrectly.
Chakram control	She charges, throws, curves, recalls and senses her twin chakrams through Ka’ru, using them at range and in close combat.
Tracking	Rim reads disturbed soil, vegetation, blood, false trails, animal behavior and changes in birds or insects.
Wilderness survival	She can locate water and food, conceal tracks, recognize traps, select protected sleeping positions and survive with limited equipment.
Stealth	Rim controls her breathing, lowers her Ka’ru and uses terrain to conceal her presence.
Battlefield awareness	She rapidly interprets the positions, intentions and comparative strength of multiple opponents.
Leadership	Experience with Ka’Rukan operations allows her to command warriors, receive surrender and protect civilians or rescued children.

Rim’s greatest limitation is not a lack of power but the psychological effect of gaining it. Ka’ru absorption can turn combat into appetite, encouraging her to pursue opponents after survival no longer requires it.

Weapons

Twin chakrams

Rim’s signature weapons are two black chakrams marked by red energy when connected to her Ka’ru. She can use them as cutting weapons at close range, throw them along curved paths and recall them after release. They represent control and temptation because they allow her power to exist outside her body while increasing the reach of her violence.

Sleeve knife

Utrea gives Rim a small concealed blade and teaches her to use it after an opponent assumes she is helpless. Rim uses the knife in her first kill at eight years old. It becomes a symbol of hidden strength and the cost of underestimating a smaller opponent.

Other weapons

Rim is also trained with throwing knives and can use captured spears, swords, axes, clubs, chains and improvised battlefield weapons. She remains most strongly identified with the chakrams.

Relationships

Character	Relationship with Rimitorry
The Dark Alpha	Rim’s father loves, trains and protects her but contributes to the conditions that awaken her darker instincts. Their relationship combines affection, fear, pride, opposition and competing definitions of protection.
Queen Utrea	Rim’s mother and teacher. Utrea teaches concealed weapons, observation, Ka’ru control and restraint. She does not ask Rim to deny the hunger; she teaches her to make it wait.
Eshari	Rim’s chosen older sister and closest childhood protector. Their bond is represented by the black warning stone and survives their separation after the Gia Calling.
Sakori	Rim’s chosen brother and childhood companion, called Cori within the family. He recognizes the change in her after the Wilds and later becomes Gia’s primary defender during Alpha’s invasion.
Zafira	Rim’s chosen younger sister. Rim’s love for Zafira helps interrupt the instinct to measure other people by the Ka’ru their deaths might provide.
Khalembo	Rim’s chosen younger brother. His awareness of her name and hunger allows him to identify internal changes other characters struggle to express.
Polezah	A survivor of Nhem’Rakul raised within Rim’s chosen family. She cares for him while recognizing both the healing potential and danger in his fascination with anatomy.
Kavumo	One of Rim’s most important childhood protectors. He carries her from Nhem’Rakul and later reappears beside Utrea during the assault on Gia.
Nahla Voss, Kovi Renn, Sura Keth and Veyu Orak	Members of the children’s generation whose command, theft, observation and combat skills develop alongside Rim’s.
Reonniz	Rim’s biological brother, hidden in Terra as part of Utrea’s effort to keep him from the Dark Alpha. His existence becomes a major adult family revelation.
Thirty-Two / Jabari Nthanda	Rim’s romantic and operational partner. By giving him a name, she rejects Nebu’s attempt to reduce him to an inventory number. He helps redirect her fear into purposeful action, while she helps restore his sense of personhood.
The elder	An unnamed ancient figure who reveals information about the Tribal Bible key, creates the magical window into Gia and directs Rim and Thirty-Two toward Nebu’s original foundation.

Themes and significance

Identity and naming

Names determine whether a person is recognized as an individual or reduced to a function. The first Conri Tora uses Rim’s identity to manipulate her, Eshari gives “Rim” intimacy, Khalembo asks whether she brought that identity home, and Rim gives Thirty-Two the name Jabari Nthanda. Naming becomes an act of power, recognition and resistance.

Blood and chosen family

Rim’s family contains biological relations, rescued children, adopted survivors and people who simply choose one another. The structure challenges any single definition of siblinghood. Blood creates dynastic importance, while chosen loyalty provides many of Rim’s strongest emotional bonds.

Power and hunger

Ka’ru makes appetite physically measurable. Every victory can increase Rim’s strength, but each increase becomes ordinary and encourages the desire for more. Her most important victories are therefore not always successful kills; sparing the final warrior in the Wilds demonstrates a form of control that raw power cannot provide.

Royalty and divided loyalty

Rim is a princess through Utrea but remains the Dark Alpha’s daughter and a child of Ka’Rukan. During the assault on Gia, Alpha treats those overlapping identities as evidence that she will hesitate. The story instead presents divided loyalty as a source of memory, knowledge and resistance.

Witnessing and action

Rim is usually defined by movement and combat. The magical window forces her to watch Sakori, Utrea, Khalembo and Alpha without intervening. Her decision to continue toward the foundation shows that helplessness in one location does not eliminate the possibility of meaningful action elsewhere.

Knowledge as a battlefield

The assault on Gia operates on two levels. Sakori fights the visible war above ground, while Rim and Thirty-Two seek a cipher beneath Nebu. Their parallel story establishes that control of the Tribal Bible and its physical cost may become as strategically important as winning a direct battle.
