"No!" Fandil stopped suddenly in the middle of the street, rapping the butt of
his staff on the paving stones. "We're going about this all wrong, Lenpro!"
Lenpro pulled his brother toward the edge of the street. "You're blocking
traffic," he said. "Move out of the way and then tell me what's wrong. Are you
saying that we shouldn't have come to enlist Emperor Alonj, or what?"
"Alonj? No, of course we have to use him, poor fellow. Legitmacy is critical.
No, we're rushing about, acting in haste, without plan or even much thought. If we
want to succeed and hold the Andorian League together, planning is critical."
"Is your memory going? I distinctly recall that we argued, discussed, and
planned all the way from Tarrgir to Fratsfa. Both of us. I was there, Fandil, and
*I* remember it."
"Very amusing, ha ha. I was there, too, and my memory is fine. But it doesn't
include any memory of true planning beyond 'our opponents appear to have done this,
we must do that to counter it'. Not real plans reaching into the future. Not much
in the way of real information, either: WHO is our opponent, WHY is he or are they
doing this, WHAT are they trying to achieve, and HOW can we best foil them?"
"You left out when and where," Lenpro said.
"WHAT are their resources, and our best resources against them? WHERE is their
headquarters?" Fandil finished. He made a gesture of impatience. "You see the
problem, and you know it isn't a joke, brother. All we're doing is reacting; our
opponent is calling the steps of the dance."
"Yes, and probably he--or they--know as well as we do that we'll have to work
with Alonj. That's one of the reasons the Empress was upset. We might get a guard
of gladiators for the Emperor and his wife and children; that would be a start there.
But what are you proposing to do about the information shortage?"
"I shall think," Fandil said. "No distractions of travel. And scry where I
can; magical information gathering isn't totally reliable, but it's better than no
information gathering."
"I've no doubt Fern can fix you up with a private room to think in. And I will
gather information on the streets," Lenpro said. He turned toward the Flower Shoppe
and resumed walking.
Lady Fern could. "I've just the place for you, brother," she said. "At the top
of the house in the back, no one traipsing up and down a hall outside your door, you
won't even hear activity from the shop down below." She called one of the girls, too
many girls, Fandil thought, to show him the way.
This one, a saucy piece called Charming Chenopodium or some such, okay, not
Chenopodium, it had no flowers to speak of and was eaten like spinach, maybe she was
an Alluring Alysum-- He jerked his thoughts back to the matter at hand. But the
wretched girl was barely dressed; he supposed that garment she was almost wearing was
a... shift or something; it certainly kept shifting! She opened a door at the end of
a long hall and stood back. "Here you are, sir, and you'll have all the quiet you
need. And then when you're ready for company, just give us a call, you know?" She
pointed to a silver bell sitting on a table by the window. "Just ring the bell, and
I'll hear you." With a last smile that seemed to promise many things, and she
couldn't be as old as twenty!, she... shifted down the hall.
Fandil shook his head and closed the door carefully behind him. Did it have a
lock? Yes. He turned the lock. There were days when he simply didn't know what to
make of his sister. Many days.
Lenpro was glad enough to separate from Fandil for a while. He got along just
fine with his brother, but there was no denying that they had different strengths.
Fandil's strength was magic and careful thought. His own was decisive action, and he
wanted to take some. Okay, sure, first he would gather a little information in his
own way--walk the streets, linger in the bars, strike up conversations where he found
them--
"You'll be going out, won't you, Lenpro?" Lady Fern said. "A good thing, I'm
sure, but you aren't familiar with Fratsfa. I'll provide you with a guide, I think."
She pointed to one of the girls lingering in doorways and leaning on counters around
the shop. This one was a round-faced, cheerful blonde. "That one."
The blonde bounced over. "Hi! I'm a Decadent Dandelion, but you can call me
Dandy." She smiled up at him. "I know lots of good places to go in Fratsfa!"
Fandil sat at the window and looked out over the city, sipping tea from a
service he'd found ready for him. It was a dramatic view of the old place, pleasing,
too, if one cared for charming melancholy. Fratsfa boasted of its ancient glories,
and they had been glorious, there was no doubt of that. But they were in the past,
slipping farther and farther into the past. There was still good in this old land,
but he had a feeling, almost a vision, of the present strength burning away to make a
carnival for the heedless. There was a feverish rush after pleasures--not even Fern
was immune, and other parts of Andoria pursued it as blindly as Fratsfa did. But
that hid the deeper issues.
He was supposed to be considering the problems the disappearance of the king
presented, but he now saw that as merely one more symptom of the deeper issue: The
Andorian League was a hollow shell, a shallow mask over the deep divisions between
the five realms that composed it. No one, not any of the old kings-- Ha, OLD kings?
The League wasn't that old, there were humans alive who had been born before it
formed. Still, not even the earlier kings of the League had addressed the problems
that divided the realms. Race, of course, or more properly species: human, elf,
werecat. But there were cultural gulfs, as well. The Andorian League was just that,
an alliance rather than a true nation. If Aradi had been part of a true nation,
would it have seceded? Would it have been ALLOWED to secede?
He shoved these thoughts aside. They represented a problem that needed to be
addressed, but not now. Right now... he barked a laugh. Right now, he had to figure
out how to patch together the League that still was, in the hopes that there would BE
a future when they could try to solve the deeper issues.
Should that patching job even be attemtped? He hesitated, then nodded. Yes.
Even if the League didn't become a nation, its original purpose remained: to unite
the people of this corner of Alastari against their enemies. And the League, all
Alastari, had enemies. Had one Enemy, at least, in common. Because there was
something in the north, something within the Karnhorn lands, that was building
strength and would destroy all the good and simple things that made life worth
living, if it wasn't stopped.
"First," Lenpro said, "I just want to get a feel for the town. The moods, the
factions, the general attitudes--"
"Great! There are attitudes everywhere," Dandy assured him. She grabbed his
hand and set off. "I'll show you!"

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, um...I didn't really expect to be here. What's up with the top seven guys not
running anyway? Get crackin there!
I did the bloodfeud thing just because, not really expecting to beat someone with
that many more fights than me. But I put the bite on Bark, and here I am. Probably
won't keep it, but I'll try.
See ya
Thunk
SPY REPORT
Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ARUAK CITY to
see what's new. Like, IMMORTALS had to be so embarrassed when they got kicked off #1
spot by PUBLIC ENEMIES! Way to go PUBLIC ENEMIES! COFFEE WARS like really fought
hard to move up to 9th from 15th. Way to go! What was the name of that team who got
3-1-0 this turn for a total 1038-772-33 you ask? (Sure) BULLDOGS' their name, and
fighting's their game! MVP award for DICKY V GOES POSTAL? ARMED & GREGARIOUS' proud
of him after beating LILAC LIZARD and getting 31 points. Like KRILL CAVALRY's JON
FLUTE is sweating since he got challenged by Duelmaster THUNK! Was that a tear I saw
in JON FLUTE's eye, as he took over Duelmastership? And wasn't THUNK fit to be tied!
Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me!
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? ARMED & GREGARIOUS was the most
avoided team. Is a 14-7-1 record really that scary? Hhmph! What kind of warriors
are ANIMAL FARM? ARMED & GREGARIOUS, an easy team to beat if I ever saw one, can't
get them to accept an invitation! Like, is MUTANT OR MAN popular, or what? He was
challenged the most in all of ARUAK CITY! He's got a 11-6-0, is that good? People
were asking me did MOCHA MONKEY REALLY challenge SONG OF SUMMER? (all right, maybe
they didn't, but it sounded good!) It wasn't a spectacular fight, or anything, but
SONG OF SUMMER wants me to write about it since she was overcame by MOCHA MONKEY.
Satisfied? SEPHIROTH must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He TV
challenged HORSEFLY. 15 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I
thought SEPHIROTH showed great skill and promise when he overcame HORSEFLY. All
right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ARUAK CITY ever talks about is fighting!
Me, I'm more laid back. Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I gotta leave. ARUAK CITY is like such a dump, and you guys smell too much!
Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

It has been a long, long career for Bark, who finally graduates at 24-20-1, getting
his 17th PP this turn (barely). He was quite the work-in-progress. Starting as a
11-14-13-14-14-4-14 -Init waste, through zero tournaments, he acquired adexes in
IRAP. He is greatly looking forward to retirement, where he will acquire new false
