West of Fratsfa:
"Now what?" Elosjon asked.
"Now we make a plan," Fandil said. "I suppose you don't know anything about the
castle, or any more about the magician there except that he's probably the son of the
last lord of Mountain Home and went somewhere far away to study?"
Elosjon shook his head.
"Not a problem, we can work with what we've got already," Fandil said, patting
his shoulder. "And really, the hint of Chaos Magic is enough." The old mage's face
set grimly and suddenly looked a lot older than seemed possible. "He's been studying
Folstrom materials, even if he didn't find the Folstrom themselves to study with."
Folstrom! Elosjon shuddered. The Folstrom, who had nearly destroyed Alastari
once--with Chaos Magic--were the monsters who lurked at the back of every
Alastarian's mind, the ultimate image of evil and depravity, never to be forgiven.
How could anyone seek out their learning? He asked the question aloud.
"Some people would go into the very heart of wickedness in search of power, and
vengeance is a strong motive, too," Fandil said. He sighed and sat down on a tree
root. "He will not be easy to defeat, but we have learned a few things since the
Folstrom were driven away. Sit down, boy, so I don't have to strain my neck talking
to you. I am going to tell you spells that you will never, on pain of worse than
death, repeat, nor even use if it isn't the most desperate last chance."
"Why?" Elsojon slid down to sit beside him. "Why keep them secret, why not use
them, why tell me at all?"
"Because these spells are as dangerous in their way as Chaos Magic, because
there is a good chance that using them will destroy you, and because someone has to
know them and be ready to use them as the final reserve. This is a battle to death
and beyond, young man, and we must make what preparations we can."
The young mage took a deep breath, rubbed his suddenly-sweating hands down his
robe, and nodded. "Okay."
Fandil leaned closer to him, dropping his voice to a near whisper, and began to
describe spells.
***** *** ***** *** *****
Elosjon blinked, wondering where the day had gone. How could it be evening
already? Or maybe it was evening of the next day, or even two or three days later--
he felt stuffed with arcane knowledge, and it might have taken a long time to pour
all that into him. He was afraid to move suddenly lest all that magic slosh around
and confuse the spells. Or spill out uncontrolled. He couldn't say he'd LEARNED
them, but he was full of them as a bottle might be full of wine. He understood
Fandil's warnings now. He would rather carry live coals in his bare hands than the
spells now lodged in his mind. Still, it was his job to do. Fandil, a mage with a
towering reputation, was trusting him to do it.
He looked at Fandil, sitting beside him. "Now what?"
"Now we sleep, because darkness favors our Enemy, and we cannot give him that
advantage. And because we need sleep if we are to be at our best."
Fratsfa:
The portal was just a portal and presented no bar to their passage. Sizzling
Sunflower blinked around at the run-down section of the city to which they had
returned. It seemed unexpectedly ordinary. Orderly, despite the litter. The
buildings were all... square, or at least rectangular, all stone-colored, or brick.
The people all human. She shook her head. "I hadn't realized that things were so
conservative," she muttered.
"Predictable," Lenpro agreed. "Just as well. Humans were not meant to live in
chaos."
"There were people back there--" She turned back toward the portal, but there
was nothing to see now. Just a street, cracked pavement, grubby house-fronts,
drooping trees.
"People," the manager admitted, "but not humans. And I would guess not for
long. That pocket universe is inherently unstable. But it may not be the only one
of its kind, and I can't believe that it's good for our universe to have those
clustered on it like leeches, so we'd better find my brother and tell him about it.
Fandil will know what to do with a magical problem of that kind."
"I guess. But it was an interesting place to visit, if you don't have to live
there." She started along the street in what she figured was a westerly direction,
toward the better part of the city. After a moment, she added, "There was a mob here
when we went in. I kind of thought they'd wait."
Lenpro glanced up at the sky. "It's late morning now, and we went through the
portal in the afternoon. So it's been nearly a day, at the least. Most mobs don't
have that much patience."
"That long? It didn't seem more than an hour or two that we were in there!"
"Some day when you have a week to spare, ask Fandil to explain 'temporal
discontinuity' and 'meta-subjective time' to you. We're probably lucky--I hope we're
lucky--we didn't get back BEFORE we left."

SPY REPORT
I was going on vacation, see? Surf, sun... But what do those bums say? "Hit
the road, Debby Tonte. IAYE needs a spyreport." Oh, well. Too bad, ALL JACKED UP,
but LENPROS was just too good to be stopped. Cut this out and put it in your
scrapbooks, HER BEST ASSETS! 'Cause they got 4-0-0 and moved up to 3rd! MVP award
for CLEAVAGE? HER BEST ASSETS' proud of her after beating STRIPE and getting 19
points. Talk about yer major upsets! DIGGITY DOG's match with VIRGINAL CONCUBINE
cost him a loss of 13 points! Like THE WARLOCKS' HELP ON THE WAY is sweating since
it got challenged by Duelmaster HIPS! Don't you think the Duelmaster is being
unfair? I think HIPS should let HELP ON THE WAY be Duelmaster for a while, without
fighting about it. I hear the top team insists all their warriors get nine hours
sleep. They want photogenic fighters for PR photos.
Look, you guys stick to fighting, all right? The warriors of HER BEST ASSETS
must be getting lonely. They were the most avoided team. Do you guys know something
that I don't? I don't know what LENPROS' been doing. They certainly haven't been
accepting many fights from HER BEST ASSETS, that's fer sher. Like, is HELP ON THE
WAY popular, or what? It was challenged the most in all of IAYE! It's got a
17-47-2, is that good?
Challenges, revenges, Bloodfeuds. All IAYE ever talks about is fighting! Me,
I'm more laid back. So RED DOG GANG has one more turn to Bloodfeud ALL JACKED UP's
CRACKER JACK. Big deal. SPECKLE's dead. What's the point? Ya just gotta go on.
Don't look back... Fight, fight, fight. Is that all you guys can do?
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

All Jacked Ups all over the Stylemaster List! How cool is that!? Kudos! -- Lenpro
Ahhhhh, Jack Daniels, just because you schnockered me twice before didn't mean it had
to happen again, did it? AA does wonders for one--even a Politician. -- Senator
Wiley
Bee Stung Lips -- You were so kind to challenge, but I am sort of impervious to your
allure. I have a higher calling. I shall probably see you again in the future, but,
for now, I must go to the chapel. -- Sister Mary Jane

Hmmmmm. We have a long way to go to make you Andorian, don't we? Health. Humility.
Honor. -- Lenpro
P.S. Pleased to see you don't avoid. We like to challenge. (wink)
We just wanted to send out a "hip, hip" to our "alliance-mate," Outcast Orchid, who
is having one heck of an adventure saving the world. -- The Lenpros
Jack Hammer -- Thanks for the compliment. A good politician must be decisive. Yes,
sir. But not all the time--sometimes we are doggone defensive and we like to slash
out or lunge at the opposition a lot. -- Senator Wiley
Hips -- Wow, a title fight! Hot... Diggity Dog
P.S. It's a good thing I didn't win. I wouldn't know how to behave.
Help on the Way -- People say that a lot, but it doesn't mean much to a dog. -- Spud
Major Martin -- It's been that kind of a day. Sometimes I'm the lamp post. --
Moondog

My momma always told me not to trust people with shifty eyes. -- Stripe
