The gladiators all stared at each other with relief. Redfox had an impulse to
hug someone--Young Joan or Necroma for choice--but hesitated. Joan he knew slightly,
and she was not one to allow liberties. She grinned and hugged him quickly, then the
older gladiator, Math op Owain, and cast a speculative look at Uncle Wolf, who
scowled.
Blackwind had no such qualms and threw a friendly arm around Necroma. He looked
at Wolf and Lord Malcorn. "What happens now?"
Malcorn looked across the valley at the Door. It was huge, twenty or thirty
feet tall and nearly as wide, the two halves standing open on flame-shot darkness.
No living creatures were visible. "Now we shut the Door," he said, "and there will
be resistance--"
"Should you say that?" Necroma asked. "Expectations shape what we meet in the
Spirit Land, and you could be creating trouble just by expecting it."
"Some trouble exists here without a mortal's expectations," Uncle Wolf said.
"And we are no longer precisely in the Spirit Lands. Here in the Valley, the rules
change again."
She groaned. "I really hate that. I wish the rules would just... be what they
are, whatever they are, and not change when someone takes two steps in a different
direction! How can you plan anything if--"
"You develop a knack for it," the old shaman said, "or you get into a different
line of work."
Blackwind saw that the young woman was going to argue further and spoke quickly
to cut her off; they didn't need arguments here and now. "One thing I've been
wondering. I understand about the different routes to make sure at least some of us
got here. But you and Lord Malcorn are the only ones who know how to close this
Door--I'm guessing it isn't just a case of walking up and swinging it shut. If you
didn't make it, what would be the point in us arriving?"
"You would have figured something out," Uncle Wolf said. "Each of you was
chosen--by me or by circumstances--because you are a person who finishes any job he
begins. Or she begins," he added quickly, seeing Young Joan frown.
Lord Malcorn sighed and straightened, seeming even taller now than his seven-
and-a-half foot height. Darker than his black hair and swarthy skin had seemed when
Blackwind had seen him on the streets back in Malcorn. There, he had been
affectionately known to his subjects as "Blackie." Here... with some kind of power
rising in him, he could only be Lord Malcorn. He was beginning to look big enough
and strong enough to close that massive Door unaided.
"They're coming," he said.
Without thought, responding to the same trained impulse, every gladiator present
drew his or her sword, turning to face outward from their group.
Blackwind more than half expected to see floods demons and monsters pouring
toward them from every direction. If so, they must be invisible, all he could see
were the shadows that filled the valley. He squinted. "Is it my imagination, or is
it getting darker here?" That would be bad. Darkness would make it harder to fight.
"Valley of Shadow," Math op Owain said. "We should have realized--"
"So you should," Uncle Wolf answered. "In this place, the shadows are as
dangerous as what casts them."
"More dangerous," Lord Malcorn corrected.
The old shaman shrugged and nodded. "Perhaps. At that level of danger, the
distinction is unimportant."
"How do we fight shadows?" Redfox asked. "You must have had something in mind,
or you wouldn't have drawn us here."
"The light is behind the... creatures that cast the shadows," Wolf pointed out.
"That makes the shadows advance toward you, ahead of the creatures. You must make of
yourselves lights to drive the shadows back on their creators."
"How can we--?"
"No, 'Fox, I think I see what he means!" Math drew the gladiators aside. "Come
over out of the way, and I'll tell you. Let them deal with the Door."
"He's right," Necroma said before Math could begin his explanation. "We *are*
lights if we know it." She paused, selecting words. "Here, even if it isn't exactly
the Spirit Lands, the spirit is what matters the most. Sure, we're here physically--
and we can die physically--but just as the body dominates in the Mortal World, so the
spirit dominates here. If our spirits are strong and bright, they'll be like lights
here!"
"That's easy to *say*, and it sounds good," Blackwind objected, "but what are we
supposed to *do*?"
"It's like... ah! Like the meditation exercises they teach us on the Isle, to
increase our Will or our Wit," Math said. "That kind of focus, but we concentrate on
light and life and warmth--"
"Well put," Necroma said. "And we'd better do it right now."
"Not forgetting," Young Joan was actually beginning to glow as she concentrated,
"that we will have to deal with physical creatures once we have vanquished the
shadows."
Gladiators muttered as they concentrated, mantras that had helped them meditate
on the Isle, or curses when their minds wavered and they lost the focus,
encouragement and advice to themselves and each other.
Uncle Wolf's mouth quirked. "They'll do," he said. He turned his full
attention back to the Door they had to close.
Malcorn hadn't heard his comment. He was running his hands up and down through
the air as though feeling along a wall that stood between them and the Doorway and
doing some muttering of his own. He pressed against it with both hands and the full
weight of his big body, snapping out three words that crackled with power. Nothing
visible happened.
The old shaman adjusted his perceptions to "see" the wall. Still no response to
Malcorn's efforts. He sighed. "If it was easy," he muttered, "it would need us to
do it."
Malcorn smiled grimly. "True." He knocked on the wall of air. "I think this
may be more in your line than mine."
Wolf squinted. "Some kind of elemental," he decided. "Air elemental--wind?"
He laid his own hands on the invisible wall. "No, too static. Even when a wind
elemental stays in one place, it moves, spins."
"Then I thank the gods it isn't one. A tornado would do us no good at all,"
Malcorn said.
"Mmm." Wolf shifted his attention, feeling for any chink or facet of identity.
A tornado would have been easier to deal with, because it could have been identified.
Perhaps even torn from the control of whoever was guarding this Gate and then turned
against--
Heat blasted out of the unchanging air. Both men jumped back, and Wolf cursed
softly, blowing on burned fingers. "Heat waves," he gasped. After a moment to get
himself back under full control, he added, "Partly heat waves. Even that should show
motion--"
"It isn't the world we know," Malcorn said. "So it may not follow any of the
rules we know."
Wolf snorted. "Going to teach me to suck eggs, boy? The rules of the world,
no, of course they can't be counted on. But elementals have their own rules, and
unless the entity causing this has the power of a god, the elements must perform
according to their natures."
Malcorn took three long paces to the side, then looked back at the wall on a
slant. "No heat-wave motion," he said. "Not even a ripple." He squinted. "What if
it isn't an elemental, what if it's... a specialized demon of some kind?"
"That would be... tricky." The shaman looked at him. "How can there be
'specialized' demons?"
"I've heard of some breeding experiments." Malcorn shrugged. "The consensus
was that they couldn't possibly succeed, but no one actually knows. And this might
be such an experiment. Half demon, half elemental."
"So what do we do about it?" Wolf put his hands on his hips and glared at the
invisible wall. "I can handle an elemental--probably. A demon, only sometimes."
"If our opponent is being creative, then we must be also." Malcorn frowned. "I
have an idea...."
All five of the gladiators had managed at least some degree of light, but they
were finding it harder than they'd expected, and they hadn't expected it to be easy.
Math op Owain repeated his mantra yet again, trying to get past his embarrassment at
a lack-luster performance. Each of the others *else* was glowing like a lantern, and
he was barely a candle, and a dim one at that.
"Is it my imagination," Necroma asked, "or am I doing especially poorly here?
Maybe because I studied necromancy--"
"You're doing great!" Blackwind said. "It's me that is being a dim--"
"Ah!" Young Joan nodded. "I see it now, each of us can only see outside our
own light--"
"Like trying to see the backs of our own heads," Redfox broke in. "We can see
the light from the others, but not our own. Well, good, I thought I wasn't managing
to do this at all. Thought I was going to let the rest of you down."
Math looked toward the advancing shadows, now advancing more slowly. But they
seemed denser, darker. They even seemed to have a form of sorts, as though they
were... creatures composed entirely of shadow. As though they had substance and were
obstacles that the light was flowing around as water flows around rocks. His hand
tightened on the hilt of his sword, and he forced himself to relax and loosen the
grip; there isn't much you can do if you're gripping so hard your muscles are locked.
A Shadow on the edge of the pack, it was hard to think of them as anything but
creatures now, rushed forward suddenly, elongating. Its shape changed from upright
and vaguely man-like to leaping-wolf to a thick spear--aimed at Blackwind, who was on
the left end of the line the gladiators had formed. The Malcornishman threw himself
down and to the side--to the left, leaving a gap between himself and his companions.
There'd been no other obvious way for him to go, Redfox was too close on his right,
just over arm's length away. But two more Shadows followed the first, toward that
gap, and the one Blackwind had evaded doubled back on itself, returning to a wolf-
like shape that was mostly gaping jaws and fangs like dark daggers.
Near Vithicar:
The spell didn't work. Master Darque resisted the impulse to lash out at the
nearest person, his bodyguard Tyre. To punish the non-responsible for the failure of
a spell was the mark of a minor magician; he would not stoop to that. But it should
have worked. It was such a *basic* scrying spell. He had been using it for
centuries, he could cast the damned thing in his sleep. This failure would have
driven a normal man to cursing, but he was always careful about that. As a half-
demon, his curses had power, and a competent magician did not waste power. Not
unless he was *really* angry.
He knew what the problem was, of course. That idiot down in Kurukar, messing
around with "dark powers." As if any human could hope to control them! Without a
heritage like his own, the powers would eat any fool who tried, and the sooner the
better. Necromancy! Master Darque's lip curled in a sneer. It had its uses, he had
done a little in that line himself, but it was ultimately a minor magical art.
Inherently messy, as anything involving human nature would always be.
He sighed, laid down the wand he had been using, and turned to look at Tyre.
The dwarf was expressionless, pointedly not paying attention to the spell-workings.
"We're going to have to do something about Kurukar," Master Darque said.
Tyre brightened at the prospect of action. "Good! When?"
"Now."

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Well, it's good to be back to Malcorn after about a two year hiatus. And it's
especially nice to return back to the Iron Throne that I sat in before I left. Best
luck to Cybermancer on the Isle. Glad Miyamoto got to receive your parting beating
before you left and not me.
SPY REPORT
Much has changed in MALCORN since last I was here. Never fear, Olaf Modeen
adapts to many situations, as do all successful fighters. Bein' on top is great
while it lasts, DARK CREATION. But how many friends do you have now? GREENWARDENS
showed MALCORN what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off
with 5-0-0. What's with STONEBOW? He actually beat TERMINUS' AVERY, and walked away
with 13 more points from the fight. Major screwup at DARK CREATION. QREATED lost 9
points to POT OF GOLD. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe QREATED will provide
more easy wins... Try as he might, KUNG-FU MASTER wasn't good enough at persuading
QUASIL to step down from the Duelmaster's throne... Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
No matter the time or place, men will always duel. MALCORN thinks DARK CREATION
and their 396-337-21 is too much! If at first you don't succeed, give up...
Management must be dealin', as the boys at TERMINUS ain't reelin'! DARK CREATION's
mad! How well I know the feeling of being the most challenged warrior, STONEBOW!
Don't make idle boasts, they may come back to haunt you.
A fighter's lot is filled with strife, revenge, and killing. Some fighters
don't accept this. The best do. Many a warrior has met his fate in a hungover
stupor. You young rapscallions, take note!
Well, I'm pretty much through. You guys need to get back practicing. The end
of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! I don't want to
overstay my welcome...-- Olaf Modeen
