Somewhere congruent with southern Alastari:
"Why have you come here, motral?" The voice emerged from darkness and cold
wind, and it seemed to echo out of a deep cave. At the same time, so far as time had
a meaning here, a form condensed in front of Uncle Wolf. Black and without visible
details, with eyes as white as the full moon and white antlers gleaming in the light
of a moon that did not shine here. Where another kind of being would move in the
aura of its own warmth and scent, this one exuded awe and dread.
Though he had never met this Great One personally before, Wolf knew who it was.
He bowed low. "I have been called and sent," he said. "I go where I am commanded."
Amusement. "That must be a first for you."
"Perhaps. I do not recall." He closed his mouth and waited. To be the first
to speak of his mission here would be taken as a weakness. It would be a weakness,
the mortal flaw of impatience.
More amusement. Not something so ordinary as a laugh, but a scent of response
that in a human would be laughter. Amusement passed. "You have been invoked to deal
with the Soul-Stealer," the Horned Hunter said. "That Word has come to Us," it added
ambiguously. "We have thought to Hunt this rash mortal Ourselves."
"If You unleashed your full power on Alastari at this time, You might unmake
it."
"True. What of that? For all within the Mortal Lands, every beginning comes at
last to an ending. It may be that now is the ending for Alastari."
"And it may not be so. One said to me once that endings should not be hastened
but allowed to arrive in their own times. And also that the ending of something so
large and deep-rooted as Alastari is... complicated. Not for one such as myself to
trifle with." Wolf squinted at the dark shape and decided that nothing but the most
brutal honesty would serve him here. "It is not for one such as You to trifle here,
either."
Anger, insulted dignity. Amusement again. "Truth." A silence that seemed
long. "So be it. The Night Riders shall aid you, they shall even follow your
directions, within reason. We shall send Words to them, making it so."
Wolf deemed it prudent to bow again, and to keep silent. He did not fancy
working with the Night Riders, but they were "better" than the Great Hunt. And they
would be well able to sniff out necromancers wherever such might hide. He saw now
that it was to secure this aid that he had been sent to the Horned Hunter. Which he
had now done, and more easily than expected. He wanted to leave, to return to the
Mortal World and get on with it, but he dared not until the Hunter gave permission.
"We are minded to... ask a boon in return," the Hunter said. Light from an
invisible moon glinted on its horns as the great head turned to look off to the side.
Wolf felt that his skin tightened all over with alertness and... yes, fear, too.
"Ask, though little is within my power compared to yours."
"We stand very near to the border between Matter and Spirit," the Hunter said,
"as do you. But on opposite sides. The circumstances which permit Us to reach
across that border are not common, they do not pertain at this time. But We can
reach you." A hand materialized between the two of them, with a square of fluttering
cloth laid across its palm and a silver arm-ring lying on the cloth. "Take this to
the Silent Place near the Ancient City, that which mortals now call Zuwayza, and give
it into the keeping of One you will find there. That One will then release the Night
Riders to your commands."
Wolf would sooner have touched a scorpion than that arm-ring, but there seemed
to be no alternative here. He forced his unwilling hands to reach out and grip the
corners of the cloth, lifting the ring without touching it. "I shall do this if I
can," he said.

SPY REPORT
Ready for some action-packed adventure, some thrills, chills and spills? Well
fergit it, cause this is the Spyreport for LAPUR. Too bad, STREET WALKERS, but MID
EARTH was just too good to be stopped. I don't wanna hurt anybody's feelings or
anything, but VENUSIANS really goofed with their 1-4-0. The guys at WILL DUEL 4 MEAD
like really pulled together to get a 5-0-1 this turn, moving up by 8. One team
deserves special mention 'cause they moved up 1 after going 4-1-0. Keep it up, MID
EARTH! MVP award for ARONWE? MID EARTH's proud of her after beating BRICKHOUSE and
getting 20 points. Talk about yer big time losers! CALLISTO got smashed by DAX, and
lost 14 points! The Duelmaster isn't going to stop just cause she's Number One!
DUSKBLOOD TROLL knows this. He was Dark Arena Challenged by the Duelmaster. This
Duelmaster is like something else! GOLDIE stopped DUSKBLOOD TROLL dead in his
tracks! I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours sleep. They
want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
So just why would someone becomes a warrior anyway? It can't be for these
really neat Spyreports can it? STREET WALKERS was the most avoided team. Is a
467-296-41 record really that scary? I don't know what METAL MINCERS' been doing.
They certainly haven't been accepting many fights from STREET WALKERS, that's fer
sher. Can VENUSIANS' MENSA be more popular than me? She was challenged the most,
but is that really the same? Ooh! Did SILVER SCINTERER really know what he was
doing when he challenged KYOKO? A 12-9-1 speaks volumes. (Zontoni said that. I
don't know what it means.) KYOKO killed SILVER SCINTERER, and was I surprised
(right!). But its a good thing KYOKO could stop laughing long enough to give SILVER
SCINTERER a good pounding.
What does a fighter fight for? I mean, the crowds don't give a hoot if someone
gets killed. Not after four more fights. Pinch me, I must be dreaming!!! GOLDIE
returns from the Dark Arena, maybe a "little upset" at hers STREET WALKERS
teammates... Hey! Quit laughing! Just because BUZZSAW had 16-7-1 was no reason for
ESCAPADE to send him to the Dark Arena! Stop it! Hey, warriors get killed by other
warriors, not by their manager sending them to the Dark Arena. What's wrong with
BUZZSAW's 16-7-1, ESCAPADE? It was kind of sad, seeing old SILVER SCINTERER
stumbling around the arena, before KYOKO finished him off. Oh well! What a bunch of
heartless! I couldn't believe how many people were snickering when MOSSMAN killed
FORWARD. So she had a 8-11-0, that's no excuse! I see SILVER SCINTERER got killed
by KYOKO of WILL DUEL 4 MEAD. Now I want to see some serious Bloodfeud action out
there! Like was that some Bloodfeud, or what? (URD vs. CLOUD TIGER, that is.) What
if they had a fight and nobody showed up? I'd be out of a job, that's what!!!
Remember, blood on a purple robe may stain. Soak it in cold water, and hand
wash. I'm getting tired of writing this stuff, so I'm calling it quits. Remember
you guys, ease up sometimes! Chill out! Later, Debby Tonte

Duelmistress Goldie -- AB Curse?? What AB Curse? I got to 19 wins and graduated.
Maybe this curse started after me.... -- Charlie (happily retired on the Isle)
All -- Buzzsaw, SL 13-8(+1)-10-17-17-9-11 BA VH/LO. Now that I look on it, he did
fight an extraordinary number of fights with the Battle Axe. Even broke one once.
And the early rumors about him sleeping with the slicer, welllll, not without the
leather sheath's bindings being double-knotted. Oh, and don't let the numbers fool
you, he had of couple a tricks up his wrist plate. -- Scion, mgr. Escapade
Aronwe -- "Just one more parry, Parry Gods" that's all I asked, and I think I'd have
held sway...or not. But it'd been fun to try. -- Petunia
Lucy -- My turtle-like tendencies once more won forth. Particularly the "snapping"
part of my turtle-like tendencies. -- Turtle
Petrified Sponge -- Glad you've slipped out of challenging range. That was too close
for the princess. -- Sparkle "the tiara" Farkle (it's on loan)
Goldie -- All that time and I still got man-handled by M'lady. I am checking out,
more'n convinced. -- Buzzsaw
Mensa -- Woot! Thanks I needed that. Thats the best learn I've ever had I do
believe. Maybe now I can stop caving those Dark Arena monster's skulls in. Certain
people obviously can't take the hint I'm trying to throw. Hopefully I'll be allowed
to gracefully retire here soon. -- Kyoko
Dead AND least popular...figures. -- Ippo
Bookaboutbirds -- The only bird I saw there was the Dodo. -- Miu
Busszaw -- I's gatz toes stops comingz toz works themz sobearz. Badz fors the
healts. I's dinits evans seez the peaskooks or panks elaphintz. -- Rewrite
Foward -- I'm crying on the inside.. Really. -- Urd
Eldacar -- I's saids its oncez ands I's sayz its agins. Whatz withs alls beblows teh
baltz shoots? Thats mez breds ands butterz. -- Rewrite
Cloud Tiger -- In a case like this one would just make the standard token bloodfeud.
Then call it a day so to speak, especially for one who has lost so many recently.
New blood.. fresh.. unscathed... could have been accepted or rejected. Never know to
one's own guess. No bonds or attachments to break from his fellow pack brethren. No
crushed morals, no sighs of relief that the less feeble are no longer holding the
rest back. Still potential saw.. was there.. now gone.. wasted. Some irked, uneased
at that. What to do... what to do.. Guess we'll see, won't we? -- Will Duel 4 Mead
Congrats to all three off our graduates this turn. Eldacar, Buzzsaw, I'm sure
Rewrite happy to see you both go since you to combine take up about half of his
losses. Though in Buzzsaw he does lose a conversation partner who make about much
sense as he does. Though I don't see that as a bad thing. Goldie, I'm sure he'll
still campaign to have your name restored in the record books for you after your gone
since it's also one of his favorite acts. I think I can safely say on behalf of the
entire arena to all. Congrads, good luck, and please don't ever come back our team
records can't handle it :) -- Sporkis
Forte -- Does this mean that gladiation isn't yours? But you have a tricky style, so
who can say, hmm? -- Firefly
Raw -- (roaring and snorting) I'll get you for that! -- Red Bull
P.S. I'm glad you didn't learn anything. I didn't feel like teaching anything.
Salamander -- You burn me up! -- Singing Water
P.S. Okay, that was predictable. How about, I just go up in steam around you! Hmm,
predictable also. Do you suppose if I became a mime, I'd do better?
P.P.S. I can't imagine why I wasn't training skills. I'm sure I could have learned
a lot from you.
Crags -- (groaning) You broke my tooth! Ouch. Darned golem. -- Boar Tusk
Ippo -- I'm not getting why anyone would want to duel for mead. I can see honey and
butter on fresh bread, right out of the oven, but mead? Rotten honey? Not for me.
Besides (sigh), I have to adventure, and that means keeping a clear head. -- Cloud
Tiger
P.S. I just realized, you died. I'm sorry about that, I wouldn't have done it
deliberately, I guess I just don't know what I'm doing
here yet. I will expect your teammates any time.
P.P.S. Would you care to adventure? Dead gladiators are apparently welcome.
Our congratulations to Goldie, Eldacar, and Buzzsaw. -- Jorja and the Cardow Hunters
Lazarian -- Got your diplo. It isn't you, it's me. I am, no lie, a lousy real-mail
correspondent. But I'll try to do better this year, as in, something to go out in
tomorrow's (the second) mail. -- Jorja, in sackcloth and ashes
All -- Don't know if I'll get an episode done in time for this newsletter or not,
it's been a busy month here. -- the Scribe
Jurrassic Jordan -- I was testing you, seeing if you were paying attention. --
Varnanj s'Klimnur of Zuwayza, Merchant and Moneylender
Lord Protectors Goldie (a lady, of course, not a lord), Eldacar, and Buzzsaw --
Listen, you guys, I can't find a going-away gift for ONE gladiator, much less THREE.
Give me some clues here, what would you like, what would you USE? -- Chetam, odd-job
man of Lapur Arena (and some of those jobs are very odd, let me tell you)
P.S. Even if you do tell me what you want, I can't make promises. I'll TRY to get
it, but no promises.
