The information he'd gotten from the young Fratsfan mage Elosjon should be followed out. It could be an important clue. It felt urgent. But Lenpro wasn't back yet. Lady Fern looked up from the geranium she was repotting. "Sit DOWN, brother! All this stomping around doesn't accomplish anything except to disturb the plants." "There's something I need to check on--quickly, mind you--outside Fratsfa, but I can't leave until Lenpro returns." "Why not?" Fandil blinked at her. "Ah--we started this together, you know, and I don't feel right about going off without--" "You're both grown up," Fern said, "at least as much as men ever are. If Lenpro hasn't returned, it's because he feels what he's doing is important, too. When he does get back, I'll tell him where you've gone and why. Where is the difficulty here, Fandil?" "But--" "And take that youngster Elosjon with you before he sinks through the floor in embarrassment. The girls are having too much fun teasing him." Elsewhere: Lenpro didn't mention the disappearance of the gate they'd come through, but Sizzling Sunflower turned to look also. "It isn't like we need a way out," she said. "This is a great place, really good soil for the roots, and plenty of sunlight!" Lenpro looked at her, suddenly worried. "Is this what you want for your life, to become a sunflower completely and stand in the light with your feet in the dirt? Bees to pollinate you and birds to harvest your seeds?" She turned her face, which was rounder and more like the flower she was named for with every passing moment, toward him, and her eyes opened wide. "Bees?" "I seem to recall that's how sunflowers do it." "BEES?" She blinked at him, startled and dismayed. "No! Surely I wouldn't become a PLANT." "Look at yourself," Lenpro said. "Listen to what you've been saying." "The lady wants to be a plant, you shouldn't butt in," someone growled. Gladiator and manager turned. Something that was half man and half feline faced them, ears laid back and whiskers bristling. "And this was your choice?" Lenpro asked, indicating the hybrid form. "To be neither one thing or the other, unwelcome in either group?" To ask such questions here and now was probably dangerous, the creature looked to be balanced on knife-edge of temper, but he wasn't feeling diplomatic. A good fight might clear the-- No, he couldn't push things that far, what was he thinking? Was this place getting to him, too? He had responsibilities, and they did not include getting himself killed here in some pocket dimension. "Sorry, not my business. But the young lady is my business." The man-cat looked at them for a long minute, while others of this place gathered behind him. Other man-cats, but no two alike, something that might have been a sort of werewolf, and many stranger forms. Some were clearly not far from their human beginnings, but others--he assumed they had started as human, but now it was hard to believe that. "You need to see the king," the man-cat decided. "We will take you there." So, a king. Not the anarchy he had thought at first. Was this good or bad? A king meant authority he could appeal to in order to get the kidnapped women returned. But if the king said no, it meant authority on the other side, no recovery of the women, and maybe no escape for himself and Sunflower. Well, you played the hand you were dealt. He watched the denizens of this place move to surround them and herd them through the chaotic jumble of buildings and ruins. They weren't going to be given a choice to decline. * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * }%|[-----+O+-----]|%{ * ---===ANDORIAN REGIONAL NEWS===--- Duelmasters ----------- DM 8 ARKERS (turn 306): CONCUSSION of CONSANGUINEOUS (Mannequin, mgr.)

SPY REPORT It's me, The Unknown Spymaster here with my bag to give you the news on last week's fights. Hey everybody, watch out for MAYOR MCLAY, who flew up 23 points in the rankings after mashing RUSTIE like a melon. Keep your eye on this guy. Ya know, some days it doesn't pay to walk out on the sands. SPUD was beat by BAINES and drops 5 points. Well here's a duelmaster that doesn't sit back and say 'Challenge me'! SIR CARLSON made a challenge against LITTLE ROCKY this week. Well, everybody's pal SIR CARLSON moved his record to 20-4-0 by defeating LITTLE ROCKY in the Duelmaster's Title Bout and gaining 6 recognition points. Advice to bashers--never force anything, just get a bigger halberd! But enough of that bunch, let's get on to the wimps who like to avoid battle! And hey, kiddies, those of you who didn't avoid GAMEHENDGE, please raise you hand. Wow. Does IAYE really have that many liars? For those of you who like math, try this one: GAMEHENDGE + Weapons That go Boom = LENPROS + Avoid City. Well dang howdy, but if challenges were votes, HELP ON THE WAY would be president. Although it may be a contest it doesn't want to win. Remember that an arena is not always a safe place to be, but it is one of the most interesting, though! I have no doubt that LENPROS will be celebrating long and loud their warrior MAYOR MCLAY's slaying of RUSTIE on the sands. Remember: alliances are great, but try and take your ally in the arena with you and see what happens. Well, that wasn't too bad; Alarond told me that the people in IAYE have no sense of humor. Or maybe that they were senseless. Well, there goes another Spy Report. Good luck in next week's fights. And remember, you can pick your friends and you can pick your--(loud boos), oh, you've heard that one already!-- The Unknown Spymaster DUELMASTER W L K POINTS TEAM NAME SIR CARLSON 4777 20 4 0 109 LENPROS (145) CHALLENGER CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME LITTLE ROCKY 4768 22 11 0 92 RED DOG GANG (356) CHAMPIONS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME BAINES 4724 19 27 0 89 GAMEHENDGE (299) MAYOR MCLAY 4784 10 5 2 85 LENPROS (145) LADY LIBERTY 4792 7 2 0 80 LENPROS (145) HELP ON THE WAY 4717 15 31 2 78 THE WARLOCKS (430) SPUD 4783 12 9 0 76 RED DOG GANG (356) ADEPTS W L K POINTS TEAM NAME MOONDOG 4790 10 7 1 38 RED DOG GANG (356) CHALLENGER INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME -LEGS 4801 1 0 0 25 HER BEST ASSETS (461) INITIATES W L K POINTS TEAM NAME DIGGITY DOG 4793 2 6 0 22 RED DOG GANG (356) -HIPS 4800 1 0 0 15 HER BEST ASSETS (461) BROTHER DOBBIN 4795 3 2 0 11 LENPROS (145) MAJOR MARTIN 4807 2 0 0 9 LENPROS (145) -SWAY 4808 0 1 0 1 HER BEST ASSETS (461) '-' denotes a warrior who did not fight this turn.

There is something special about me overcoming Aimers. Yes, indeed. -- Sir Carlson Little Rockie -- Did you have to sit on the furniture too? -- Lady Liberty Baines -- I am not sure I was ever in that battle. Well done, sir. -- Mayor McLay Legs -- My experience and skills were apparently inadequate. Very well fought, young lady. -- Brother Dobbin Whaddaya think, Lady Liberty? Can we now say Brother Dobbin is a leg man? -- Mayor McLay (trying to keep from guffawing) Sway -- There is something about you. I was hoping to keep it going longer just so I could watch you shimmy. -- Major Martin Health. Humility. Honor. Iaye Forever. -- Lenpro A Kung-Fu Master? Huh, where *I* grew up, they just called 'em dog-kickers. Bad people, BAD. -- Spud Lady Liberty -- I thought it was just a game! I jumped up, you fell down, then I pounced on you and growled, right? I play games like that with lots of people. Why did you get so upset? -- Little Rocky This Happy Pheasant is very suspicious. Fortunately, I'm a bird dog and can point him out to someone who will deal properly with him. -- Rustie There was a whole pack of the Happy Pheasants!
