     Stepharoo and Eclipse passed through the doorway of the old manor house hand in
hand.  The lintel glowed dull red above them, and the ground trembled.
     "Feels like an earthquake," Eclipse muttered.  "That may just be a cynical
delusion," he added.  "It could be a major attack beginning--"
     "Doesn't matter."  Stepharoo sounded confident.  "It can't touch us as long as
we're together."
     Eclipse didn't respond to that, but he wished her certainty came from some other
source than what "They" had told her.  Still, he'd heard that the safest place to be
during an earthquake was in a doorway.
     It was a hundred yards, more or less, from the doorsill to the edge of the
water, and the Black Tower was farther out than the edge of the water by maybe
another hundred yards, but it seemed to loom over them, infinitely tall, without
visible details, a well of darkness into which light and sound fell and vanished.
     Eclipse suppressed a sigh.  Mythic, beyond a doubt.  And mythic always meant
trouble.  His grip tightened a little where he was holding Stepharoo's hand.  She
squeezed back.  He could do worse for a partner.  He took another step forward,
matching her stride for stride.  The darkness around the Tower had weight, density,
so that it was like moving against the pressure of a flowing river.  There were
voices in it, whispered suggestion that he couldn't quite make out--and didn't want
to.  Whatever it meant mythically, in ordinary terms the Black Tower was evil, and
any suggestion it could make would be an evil one.  Would the evil it bred extend
beyond the range of its shadow?
     One foot in front of the other, steadily moving forward.  Moving closer to the
Tower.  He thought of all the things he would rather be doing with this afternoon,
then pushed the thoughts away.  This was no time for anything that might look like a
doubt.  Certainty, that's what he needed, and steady forward movement.
     The Peninsula here had a narrow beach of coarse sand and small pebbles, and they
were crunching under his feet.  So quickly!  The water between shore and Tower was
black, and as flat as a mirror, but dull and unreflective.  At least a hundred yards
to the base of the Tower, maybe a little farther.  Did they wade?  Could they, in
their current mythic roles, walk on the water?  He couldn't turn his head, didn't
dare take his eyes off the Tower, but he tried to look at Stepharoo out of the corner
of one eye.  Here in the heart of the Tower's shadow, her golden light was tarnished
and weakened.  She still glowed, but the glow lit nothing around her.  The Lady
Protector didn't seem worried, though, so he shouldn't be either.  Except that it
would be easier to be unworried if he knew what happened next.
     Stepharoo swung her shield around to face the Black Tower directly and raised it
to shoulder height.  She seemed to be striking a pose, and he thought of the Noble
Assassin calling her the Ace of Lamps.  It was that kind of pose, he almost saw a
formal border around her.  But she didn't let go of his hand, and her grip tightened.
She wanted him to do something.
     What?
     Ah, he needed a pose, too.  This whole thing was full of tarot conventions.  She
was the Ace of Lamps, he was the Ace of Shadows.  What kind of pose was appropriate
for the Ace of Shadows?  Without conscious thought, his feet moved to a firm stance,
and he raised his own shield to mirror her gesture.  Shield?  Where had that come
from?  But it was a shield of shadows, and maybe even the shadow of a shield, not
black but deeply blue-violet, translucent, and here in the black umbra of the Tower,
faintly luminous.  The two shields came together, edges touching with a click.  Light
poured from them, making a path of reflection across the water.
     The gladiators moved forward together, stepping onto the path of light.
     It was springy underfoot, tricky to negotiate.  Eclipse thought of it as being
like walking on a hammock, or close-woven net.  The water was not as smooth as it had
looked from the shore, rippling and shifting under his feet.  The light-path was just
wide enough for the two of them, and he had to give half his attention to staying on
it.  But the other half he kept on the water around them.  If he had been in charge
of the Tower, he'd have monsters in the water around it.  Like...that one.  A black
shape in the black water, half-guessed at, but he knew it was there.
     Damn.  He had Stepharoo's right hand in his left, and the shield, held in
contact with hers, in his right, which left no hands free to draw a weapon if it came
to a fight.  Because he had a strong notion that letting go of Stepharoo, or breaking
contact with her shield, would be a Bad Idea.
     "There's a monster in the water," he said.
     "Why?"  She didn't look away from the shining path across the waves--and there
were waves now, growing steadily bigger.  "Did you expect one?"
     "Well...yeah."
     "Try expecting it to go away without doing anything to us," she said.
     "Why?  Why can't you--?"
     "I'm trying to expect the waves to go away."  Her grip on his hand tightened as
the path slipped down the side of a wave and her feet slid on it.  "I worried about
the waves, and now I have to un-worry them.  YOU have to un-worry the monster."
     "It's there because I was looking for it?  That's a heck of a way to run a--"
     "It's the mythic thing."  She paused and then said firmly, "There's no wind."
The waves flattened a little.
     "Right, not a breath of wind.  And no monster could possibly reach us as long as
we stay on the path.  Which we aren't going to step off of because we're not idiots."
The black-on-black shape turned away from them and then submerged.  Good!  This
mythic stuff was trickier than he'd thought.  Now if only--  He clamped a firm lid on
his imagination.  No good thinking about things that could go wrong, if thinking
would make it so.  How much farther to the Tower?  He risked a glance ahead.
     Yikes!  They were nearly to it.  He could just make out a bit of rocky ground
around the base of it, and no door.  Well, they could stand on the rocks, and the
door just didn't show because...it was closed.
     "How do we get them to open the door?" he asked.

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Greetings Ardivent,

What an honor to come back to this fine city and gain the throne right off the bat.

As I returned to Ardivent after finishing fourth in the battle royal in Talcama, I
was disheartened by the state of the city's guild halls.  Dark were the familiar
houses of Deathtongue, Deadly Shadows, The Cestus Group, Tuft Tuggers, Men at Work,
Airborne Attack and even the Fandils.  Although this is not my first arena, I do
consider it my home since it was the first arena I got 100+ wins in and where my
first graduate came from so it does hold a special place in my life.  I would love to
return this city to a decent size.  I can't recall it ever being huge but I know it
held twenty plus teams for a good amount of time.  I would love for it to hold ten
teams participating on a regular basis.  I think it can happen and I think that the
Wise Old Fandil will be lighting the oil in the lamps of his guild hall soon with a
possibility of the fine lady Adie running a Tuft Tugger or two when she has the
ability.

I look forward to crossing swords with you all on a regular basis.

DeGotti

                                      SPY REPORT

     Hail and well met warriors of ARDIVENT!  Know me for who I am, Zontani Sharp 
Eyes, Spymaster extraordinaire of all Alastari.  TEMPTATION caught the eye of many in 
the gladiatorial commission as she skillfully bested LORI COLLIN and was awarded 14 
points in recognition.  In one of the week's more notable duels, TEMPTATION put down 
LORI COLLIN, causing her to lose 12 points of recognition in the process.  As is 
fitting, the most sought after warrior on the challenge boards this week was none 
other than Duelmaster 8-BALL himself.  Who here was not present for the title fight 
this week as VECORDIUS boldly challenged 8-BALL in order to strive for the 
Duelmasters honors?  Although VECORDIUS made a valiant effort, it did not suffice to 
topple the reign of victorious 8-BALL.  No confirmation, but my sources claim that 
the top team has gained their position using magical aids.  Charmed weapons perhaps?  
     But come now, let us look deeper into the maze of contention and crossed blades 
that is city ARDIVENT.   
     What warrior does not hone his years, impatiently waiting for the moment of his 
foe's mortality?  Fate is a fickle mistress.  She showers the miserable with fortune 
but sets enemies against the victorious.  Remember this!   
     A thought before I go.  Each warrior practices one style, but must not the wise 
manager learn the secrets of them all?  Ahh, but I can hear the spires of a far off 
city calling to me.  I must away!  Till next we meet remember - the pen is mightier 
than the sword, but a maul is a different story!-- Zontani Sharp Eyes

Sir DeGotti -- Message heard, and appeal accepted.  The Consortium Elders are making
the attempt to recreate the Fandils Team.  It will take some effort as it has been
"passed". -- Fandil The Wise, Consortium Elder (really elder!)

We really, really enjoy the Amber adventure that Stepharoo, a Fandil Lord Protector,
has gotten herself into.  We want to be here to celebrate (hopefully) the outcome. --
All Us Fandils Of Old

Ok, who sent the assassin?  I'm telling Golden to take it easy; this will be an easy
match possibly.  Do what's normal, duck, parry, strike and so on.  I move to my seat
and get ready to watch the battle.  Uhmmm, who the heck is Kung Fu Master?  I'm
checking the roster for all the teams, no Kung Fu, now I'm starting to wonder, did
they send this guy from Advanced or Primus to teach me a lesson.  I will get to the
bottom of this.  How do you bloodfeud a ghost? -- Eclipse, quite bothered and
irritated

8-Ball -- Glad you could drop by and take my seat.  Didn't appreciate that too much,
but that's the way it goes; hope you stick around for some of the fun.  Lately
warriors here have been dropping like flies.  Leeta loses two my boss loses one, to
some freak of nature that I will track down and destroy one day.  Besides all that
it's good to see a new face.  It's a shallow arena right now but looks promising. --
Vecordius

Lori -- You know this is going to look a bit like Deja View me from lying down at my
feet syndrome.  You're going to have to work on that cardio.  I'm working on just
about everything, at this point.  Breaking the wind, or Break point.

Coolin Scot -- Clever name; can't wait to see your style.  Hope you're not another
aimed blow style.  Eclipse taught me the fine art of slasher, so I'm going to go with
that for the awhile and see how that goes.  Lori is top dog right now but I'm hoping
with some training and luck that I will end up top dog soon.  Right now I'm just
going to focus on slash and run.

Kung Fu Master -- Who the heck are you?  Where art thou hiding?  I wanted to live a
long and prosperous life; now I have to wait 'til the dead tourney comes up again to
fight the life of a living warrior.  Run far because you've been marked. -- Golden
Ghostie that's really toastie

The Arena of the Red Sands claims another victim.  Eclipse, it's tough to lose a
warrior with a fine record but it's even tougher to lose one to a stand in.  My
condolences. -- DeGotti

Eclipse -- Just to let you know, you are sitting in my career top team spot and I
plan on getting it back at some time. -- DeGotti

Was it me or did I see lights on in the Fandils guild hall the other night? --
DeGotti

Break Point -- Well, as the saying goes, "That's the breaks."  Ouch.  I think you
have a very clear idea where MY breaking point is. -- Lori Collin
P.S.  I wonder if I could get special armor....

I don't LIKE jaywalkers.  They're so RUTHLESS.  Deadly, in fact, though I squeaked by
that one with my life. -- Becker Collin
P.S.  Barely.

Smiling Mountain -- I dunno about the "smiling" part, because I couldn't see that
high, but you're definitely a mountain from where *I* stand. -- Jacinthe

Punishment -- Who is punishing whom for what and how?  Ouch.  That was painful even
to think out!  The whole thing was just totally tubular.  I don't want to do it
again, if possible. -- Debra Conklin

Minacious -- Ah, now, are you going to force me to dig out the dictionary?  What word
is that, how is it cynical, and what's the delusion, eh? -- Coolin Scot

Vecordius -- But I was still USING my gut! -- Ghost of Hermy

Break Point -- Expect?  I'm supposed to have expectations?  Why doesn't anybody TELL
me these things? -- Lori Collin

DeGotti -- The more, the merrier.  Welcome back. -- Leeta, Bluvalley Warriors

Kalbin Silverhand, possibly Honest Merchant -- Meet you at DAWN?  As if!  No way I'm
getting up that early. -- Becker Collin

Ghost of Golden Fury -- Well, sorry, but I was so TIRED of being hit in the arm by
the parries. -- your friendly (really!) neighborhood Kung-Fu Master

Eclipse and Company -- I have insurance! -- M. Kingfisher Chardinee

Becker Collin -- I thank you for those kind thoughts, but a man must have ambitions
or sink into a rut of mediocrity. -- Harbad Kore, Ambitious Guard

Debra Conklin -- My dear girl, you're hysterical.  I can take care of that for you.
-- Elsin Woodly, Constable, just being friendly

The Olympics have arrived!

The Mordanti Olympics, having been gone for six years, have returned to the Mordanti
Alliance, sponsored by Amicitia Primoris.  Teams have competed against each other for
recognition and notoriety four times in the past.  It is far past time for the fifth
Mordanti Olympics to be held.  The Mordanti Olympics shall be held in the Mordant
arena (DM-1) from May 1st (T544) through Oct 30 (T557).  There will be a
'registration period' lasting until T543, where teams will be allowed to register by
activating in Mordant and declaring their participation in the personals.  Rules will
be posted in the Mordant arena (DM-1) newsletter no later than T543, but shall be
available online before then.  An announcement will be made as to where they will be
posted.  Prizes will be awarded to the winners.
