The Silent Place near Zuwayza:
Blackwind turned on his companion, his only human companion. "Redfox, do you
WANT to die?"
The Rirorni shrugged. "Everyone dies," he said. "Yes, even Lord Protectors, in
the end. But it isn't given to everyone to know that his death will count, so--"
Before the Malcornishman could answer, Agro cut in. "Everyone dies," the Croc
agreed, "but it is not necessary to rush on your death before other solutions have
been examined. Just because these Others claim that blood will seal the barrier
doesn't make it so. They are guessing--they have admitted it--and it is their nature
to make their first guess one of blood."
After a moment, Redfox nodded. "All true, but who among us has the knowledge to
search for other answers?"
"We are warriors," the Croc said. "Three of us, and good ones all to be Lord
Protectors in the first place. Couldn't we just... stand at the gates and fight back
anyone who tries to get out?"
Blackwind laughed. "And why not?" he asked. "Isn't that what the Lady Sheila
established the arena system for to begin with? To train up warriors to stand at the
gates and prevent unauthorized passage? I say we do it that way."
Elsewhere:
Necroma sat up in the tangle of rose briers and looked around her. Definitely
not limbo, so she was ahead on that. A valley of roses. Didn't sound like the
Spirit Land, but she was beginning to realize that there wasn't just one "Spirit
Land" and most of it or them had not been covered by her training. A LOT of stuff
hadn't been covered in her training. If she survived this, she was going to have
some heated words with her instructors.
She stood, looking toward the hilltops that defined her valley of roses. Aha!
There were Cloudrider and Young Joan, coming over one hill. So the business of
summoning herself to their location had worked! She hadn't been sure it would. The
relief was amazing--not to be the only living person in this place--
Necroma spread her arms and ran toward the other two, laughing.

SPY REPORT
You elder fighters surely remember me. The younger ones may call me Olaf
Modeen. I return to MALCORN once again! Bein' on top is great while it lasts, DARK
CREATION. But how many friends do you have now? What's with SILVERBIRD? She
actually beat STARBASE 5's DROVANITAR LIX, and walked away with 8 more points from
the fight. Laughs were big at MALCORN while they watched VENOMOUS CONCUBINE clobber
QRYSYS. He lost 15 points and got bruised from objects thrown from the stands. I'm
sure MALCORN is excited about PIE EYED PIPER, the new Duelmaster from STARBASE 5.
(remember?) But when you've seen as many as I have... I suppose you want to hear
some rumors and dirty gossip about your fellow fighters? Tough!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges...
There have been some calls to lengthen the time limit. Do you want the fighters
to walk away, or not? GREENWARDENS' boys should be laying low. Now that
GREENWARDENS' manager has gone and let QRYSYS kill STONEHEART unchallenged,
GREENWARDENS' fighters are fair game. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Many other cities have retirement homes for aged warriors. Any plans here? All
work and no play makes Olaf a dull fighter. Work and play no fighter dull Olaf.
Olaffighterwork and no play. Time for my medication, so I'll leave now. Practice,
practice, practice!-- Olaf Modeen

that. -- Stonebow
Metellus -- Yep. -- Silverbird
