There were people in the ramshackle structures even so. Sizzling Sunflower saw one woman dressed in rags--literally in rags, and it was impossible to guess her age--staring at them as though they were the most alien and fantastic beings imaginable. Perhaps they were, here. Lenpro touched her arm. "Don't stare at them," he said quietly. "How can they live like this?" Sunflower demanded. "A wise man once said to me that if you don't know where people are coming from and where they're going, you can't judge the route they've chosen." "That sounds, I don't know, profound or something, but what does it mean?" "It means you should let be, until someone actually asks for help, or at least until you know more." They turned a corner--there were no long straight avenues here--and approached the crumbling wall that enclosed the Old Ruins. Lenpro frowned. The wall was shimmering, faintly but unmistakably. Or maybe it weren't, maybe it was just heat waves or sun reflecting off snow. Both at once? It was an odd thing, anyway, and probably magical, and as such it should be approached with caution. And preferably with a mage in hand, but Fandil wasn't here. Lenpro didn't think they had time to waste going back to get him. He glanced at Sizzling Sunflower. She was staring at the wall, wide-eyed. "Weird!" she said, and smiled. "This should be something new, let's try it!" Lenpro shook his head. It was a long time since he'd been that young. But maybe hers was the right attitude anyway. "Yes, let's." He stepped up to the gateway. The sensation was a familiar one: they had stepped through some kind of dimensional gateway. And if he'd had any question about that, what he saw beyond it would have made all certain. They were not on Ghea any more. The buildings were as ruined as he had expected in this oldest part of Fratsfa, if it still was based on that city. But heaps of rubble reared into narrow mounds of unnatural height, and broken walls loomed and tottered, seeming to hang in mid-air when they should be collapsing. The flagstoned streets lay at unexpected angles, and sometimes there was nothing at all between the stones. They say people, more than Lenpro had expected, but not one who appeared normal. He began to wonder how he appeared to them and glanced over at Sizzling Sunflower. She looked half plant, or maybe like a sunflower that was half human. She touched his arm with one leafy green hand. "This is so neat! It's a whole other world here!" When she smiled, her teeth were striped like sunflower seeds. "It is that," Lenpro agreed. He glanced back to check on their line of retreat. They didn't have a line of retreat, there was no sign of the gateway through which they'd come. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 306): CONCUSSION of CONSANGUINEOUS (Mannequin, mgr.)

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN Notes from the arena champ. The Kung-Fu Master? That's ALL? Well... gosh! Darn! Tcheni Loy SPY REPORT Oh, hi. Its just little 'ol Debby Tonte. Thought I'd check out ZORPUNT to see what's new. One team deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 0 after going 3-0-0. Keep it up, DISASTER! MVP award for ICE STORM? DISASTER's proud of him after beating TCHUMP LOY and getting 16 points. Talk about yer big time losers! LORMIN GARDE got smashed by SERGEANT3, and lost 12 points! This Duelmaster is like something else! TCHENI LOY stopped KHALHUMS DWARF dead in his tracks! Is the Duelmaster really being a real snob to his teammates? Don't ask me! So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these really neat Spyreports can it? Like, is BUBBA LOY popular, or what? He was challenged the most in all of ZORPUNT! He's got a 10-12-0, is that good? PAUL WIEDORFER must not be a good enough fighter to get in fair fights. He challenged BUBBA LOY. 10 is a big difference. (Well, that's what they tell me.) I thought PAUL WIEDORFER showed great skill and promise when he defeated BUBBA LOY. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal! Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All ZORPUNT ever talks about is fighting! Me, I'm more laid back. Everyone has problems, but why did MEDAL OF HONOR J4 send DA1 to the Dark Arena? He had a 4-1-0, and I thought he looked neat on the sands... What if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!! I really didn't, you know, study when I was a kid. Who would've guessed I'd be a famous Spyreporter? I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out!
