Reference to the famous jazz pianist and composer Thelonious Monk.

Thelonius + Monk = win

Miles’d got killed if he hit me...

Comment by Calesta

After defeating Thelonius the first time, you receive mail from Ellia Ravenmane.

"I'm back, Calesta

I was a fool to follow the path of the Red Crane. You are all fools - babies, fighting over a Cradle.

I will show you how fragile your precious Chi-Ji is. He fell once into the depths of despair. He will fall again."

Comment by coolderka

those are all letters thet you recieve after each victory in Cradle of Chi-Ji:

after Ellia Ravenmane she sends you:
"I refuse to accept defeat! You haven't heard the last of me!"

after Minh Do-Tan Ellia sends you:
"I heard you beat Minh Do-Tan. Well, I've been training, too.
I've asked Thelonius to set up a rematch between you and I. This time, we'll see who's really the better fighter!"

after Ellia Ravenmane: Rematch Thelonius sends you:.
"Before your match today, Ellia Ravenmane swelled with hope and pride. After your victory, she lost a lot of that hope.
Your lesson for today is that hope can turn into despair in a heartbeat. Ellia is learning this lesson the hard way."

after Fat Long-Fat he sends you:
"You are strong. This is good."

after Julia Bates Fat Long-Fat sends you:
"Dear {name},
This is Fat Long-Fat. We fought a few days ago, atop Angkhai Pavilion.
I have a question for you. You do not need to answer me, but you should seek the answer within your mind. The question is this.
Why do you fight?"

after Dextrous Izissha Fat Long-Fat sends you:
"Greetings {name},
This is Fat Long-Fat. We fought a atop Angkhai Pavilion. I am writing to deliver some advice.
Do not give up your training. I have spoken with Thelonius, and he will do his best to make sure you are adequately challenged. We may need to call on you in the future, and in that eventuality, you must be ready.
I must disappear for a while. I will be in touch in the future.
Long-Fat"

after Kuo-Na Quillpaw Ellia sends you:
"I heard you beat Kuo-Na. Impressive stuff... RIVAL.
Well, I've been training, too. And I've got a few surprises for you.
See you soon, {name}"

after Ellia Ravenmane: Revenge Tukka-Tuk sends you:.
"Tukka-Tuk heard people saying you strong.
Tukka-Tuk watched you fight. Three of your fights, you just beat up little girl. Not very strong. Tukka-Tuk thinks.
Tukka-Tuk challenge you, {name}!"

after Tukka-Tuk he sends you:.
"Tukka-Tuk is sorry for saying you only fight little girl. Tukka-Tuk thinks you are strong.
Tukka-Tuk hopes you win all your fights."

after Huck Wheelbarrow Thelonius sends you:.
"I am concerned about Ellia Ravenmane. She has not appeared for her training in several days. I fear she has crossed that narrow threshold from hope into despair.
If you see her, let me know
-Thelonius."

after Mindel Sunspeaker Yan Quillpaw sends you:.
"You have defeated every student that had a chance of beating you, but you have not yet defeated me.
I may be one of your trainers, but I am not too proud to test my skills against a student.
I challenge you to a duel, {name}. See you in the Cradle."

after Yan Quillpaw Fat Long-Fat sends you:.
"Greetings {name},
This is Fat Long-Fat. We fought a atop Angkhai Pavilion. Do you remember me?
I will be returning from my absence shortly. When I return, I would like to fight with you again. Perhaps this time we fight atop Dome Balrissa?
- Long-Fat"

after Fat Long-Fat: Rematch Thelonius sends you:.
"Fat Long-Fat is not what he seems. He is testing you. He is testing both of us, actually.
Your next duel will be against me. The victor will perform a special task for the Red Crane himself.
I haven't fought in ages. I suppose I'd better start limbering up. See you on the battlefield, {name}."

after Thelonius Ellia sends you:
"I'm back, {name}
I was a fool to follow the path of the Red Crane. You are all fools - babies, fighting over a Cradle.
I will show you how fragile your precious Chi-Ji is. He fell once into the depths of despair. He will fall again."

after Ellia Ravenmane: Redemption Chi-Ji sends you:.
"Under the guise of Fat Long-Fat, I once asked you, 'Why do you fight?' Some of us fight out of fear. Some fight for a sheer love of violence. Some in anger. In hatred. In doubt.
Ellia Ravenmane fought out of despair.
But you... I don't see any of this in you. Which is why I chose you to protect my people.
You will always hold a place of honor among the heroes of my order, {name}. You have our gratitude."
