In the mountains west of Fratsfa:
After a while, maybe half an hour, Fandil stood. Elosjon shivered again. This
was it. Ultimate battle, powerful enemy, no quarter. They were probably going to
die. HE was probably going to die. As he stood and tried automatically to brush the
dirt off his robe, he found himself thinking that it was a shame he hadn't ever
visited the Flower Shoppe in Fratsfa for its primary purpose. Some magicians claimed
that doing so would impair the vital forces, but others claimed it was energizing.
He wished now that he had take the time to formulate his own opinion and test it.
Well, too late for that, but if he DID by some chance survive, he would-- He
remembered Ravishing Redbud who had started out with them, and blushed. But if he
survived, he WOULD. With her.
Fandil glanced at him and said, "Remember, you are present as a back-up. Not to
throw yourself into the forefront of the battle and get killed for nothing, but to
hold ready for that instant when just a little extra power on my side will tip the
scales."
Elosjon opened his mouth to protest what he saw as coddling, but the older mage
stopped him with a glance.
"No, I'm not slighting your ability, my young colleague. It isn't ability that
you lack, but simple experience. Some things only come with long practice, and the
timing that is critical in a magical battle, or any other kind of battle, is one of
them. I'm not giving you the 'easy' job, either. When your assistance is needed, it
will be needed desperately, and you will have to be ready to give without hesitation
or limit." The older man's beard twitched in what might have been a smile. "And if
any of the watchdogs show up while I'm busy, I trust you will deal with them."
Fratsfa:
"What I want to know," Sunflower said, "is what this Korneth guy thinks he's
going to get out of it all."
"Power," Herlas said. "A crown."
"Yes, but how? Even if the old king is gone for good, how does all this..." she
stirred her hand around as though mixing a pot of trouble, "how does it make HIM into
the new king?"
"That's how a man becomes a king," Lady Fern said. "By seizing a chance when it
comes along--and often enough by making the chance in the first place. He will argue
that there is no one else at hand who can do what needs to be done, and point to the
'Karnhorn Menace' or some other made-up danger and say that no time can be lost, the
Andorian League--"
"He'll make it a kingdom, not a league," Herlas put in.
She nodded. "That seems a logical step for him. That Andoria needs a strong
hand on the reins now of all times. None of the other 'lesser' rulers will do: the
Baron of Ardivent is too little known to the population as a whole, and he's an elf,
the leaders of the Clanholds are Aruaki, the Thane of Convincia is too old, the
Raltumans are out of the question since Aradi's defection--"
"What about Emperor Alonj?" Orchid asked.
"Easily discredited. He used to seem half-mad, though he wasn't, and many
people will believe that he really is." Fern snorted. "His wife may have something
to say about that, true, but Alonj doesn't want to rule Andoria, and she may not push
him into something he doesn't want."
"He's right about one thing," Lenpro said. "Somebody has to take control."
"Why?" Herlas asked. "Why not go back to being independent units: Ardivent and
Fratsfa, the Clanholds, Convincia, and Raltumas. It isn't like the League is some
ancient tradition, or the separate parts will turn on each other without the
framework of the League to make them work together."
Lenpro and Fern spoke together: "No." Fern gestured for Lenpro to carry on
with the explanation. "Only in a perfect world will people work together without
rules and leaders, and this is not a perfect world. People--petty nobles, great
nobles, military leaders, wealthy merchants, ambitious priests--they'll see a power
vacuum and try to step in to fill it. There will be fighting, and sooner or later a
union again. We should bypass that if we can: Better a bad ruler than no ruler."
"Not always," Lady Fern said.

SPY REPORT
If you were disturbed from your beauty rest only to have to watch a bunch of
IAYE brutes like you, you'd be grouchy, too. Of course, we're all terribly impressed
to see SISTER MARY JANE win a fight and gain 20 points, terribly. Due to absence,
and inability to defend the throne, HIPS has lost the Title of Duelmaster. Start
setting that alarm earlier! And it's out with the old, in with the new, as SPUD
takes the Title and last week's bar tab from the old Duelmaster. Heh, heh. The
Dragon's Blood Inn, humph! I've tasted better ale at mortuaries. Where do they get
this stuff? From IAYE's trash dumps?
He who fights and runs away will live to fight another day, the coward. IAYE, I
am losing what little hope I had in you. RED DOG GANG the most avoided team? What
insult will suffice, I cannot say. And it looks like LENPROS avoided them the most
this turn. What a pack of would be losers, if you ask me. Hmph.
Some people like volunteer work in the hospitals. I volunteer for IAYE's
morgue. More variety. Titanium shields and bamboo daggers, guess what brave team is
developing these kinds of weapons?
I was about to buy a new quill pen the other day, but some fighter took it for
an epee. Forgive me for writing with a dagger. Just wait 'till next time I show up
here, I won't be so nice! So nyaaah! I see the crowds are getting restless, I must
leave now-- Snide Clemens
