Erhlie Faay frowned around at the winter landscape, though it was, in a chilly
way, beautiful. "What is there to be afraid of, if not a Secret Cult?"
Davia Hannas shrugged. "Who knows?" She sniffed the air, putting all the
werewolf in her heritage into the effort. "There's a funny smell in the air. Not
amusing," she added quickly, knowing that her teammate could be literal-minded to a
fault, "funny-strange. It's..." she groped for words, "a little like the scent in
the air just before a thaw. Not really, but a little like that."
"Change coming," Erhlie suggested.
"Yes! That's what I smell. Change coming." She consciously resisted raising a
hackle at the thought. "I don't like changes. Especially not around full moon."
"What's the moon got to do with--? Oh!" Erhlie had the grace to blush at her
gaff. "I'd forgotten, Davia. Truly." She was silent for several minutes. "Must it
be a bad change? Couldn't it be for the better?"
"Are there such changes?"
"Of course! The coming of spring is a change, and it's a good one!" The
Fratsfan held up her hand to forestall the protest she saw forming. "And a lot of
changes that SEEM bad might be fine if you knew what was coming and were able to,
well, go with the flow."
"I don't--" Shapes moved at the edge of the trees, emerged into the light.
Three, four...seven wolves, moving in single file, then spreading into a line on the
snowy field. "Oh...." Davia stared, and the wolves stared back.
"They're beautiful," Erhlie whispered. "I never imagined they would be so
beautiful."
"They're TRUE wolves," Davia answered almost as quietly. "Not poor, spell-
shaped hybrids like the Narsh Utur. I have never seen true wolves in these woods.
Why now?"
"The change that's coming," Erhlie guessed. "They have some part in it."
DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
You are such an ass, Bikini Line! Well, yes, okay, in that sense also, but
you're being so DUMB. The important thing is MYSTERY, and you don't hide a THING.
You've put it all in the shop window, as they say, and frankly, it's too cold for
that, as well as being tacky. You need a mysterious, enveloping cover-up. Probably
in red.
Davia Hannas
SPY REPORT
Welcome LYRATILAN. I, Olaf Modeen remember this place well. Many the fights
have I fought here. The celebrations, the disappointments... THE MIDDLE WAY 4
showed LYRATILAN what they were made of as they fought with a vengeance to walk off
with 4-1-0. What's with SYMPATHY? He actually beat GREAT UNKNOWN's SHEZA BANSHEE,
and walked away with 18 more points from the fight. Major screwup at THE MIDDLE WAY
4. SENDI UBOL lost 9 points to CROWN ROYAL. Some new strategies, perhaps? Maybe
SENDI UBOL will provide more easy wins... BARHOPPERS' hatred of THE MIDDLE WAY 4
surfaced again as BIKINI LINE challenged LYRATILAN's top dog. BIKINI LINE was
reminded on the sands why DAVIA HANNAS is Duelmaster. Advice to fighters with a 1
will--give up fighting!
Speaking of cowardly avoiders and unfair challenges... How well I know the
feeling of being the most challenged warrior, WHITE SPIDER! Don't make idle boasts,
they may come back to haunt you. I hate going to the effort of writing about the
kind of fights that CAPT. MORGAN gets in. He fights people like TOM MAIDO, 12 points
below. I thought CAPT. MORGAN showed great skill and promise when he overcame TOM
MAIDO. All right, so I slept through it! Big deal!
Warriors of LYRATILAN unite. You have only your games to lose! Is it my
imagination, or are fighters getting younger every day? To die so young, so
gloriously!
Who knows what the future holds for a warrior. More fights, there's no doubt.
The end of another Spyreport! That's cause for celebration in my book! Remember--a
good fighter needs both good skills and good luck. Until next time,-- Olaf Modeen
