     Senator Sedalia stood at the ferry boat's rail and waited for the mists ahead to
clear.  It was always like this when one approached the Isle of the Eye:  a bit of
mist over the water when you left the mainland, and then, faster than seemed
reasonable, you were sailing through a dense fog.  He had never really understood how
the ferry master kept a straight course through it--or if he did.  And then, the fog
thinning to mist and fading away until--
     "The Isle of the Eye," he said, waving his hand.
     Beside him, Gissanniah was silent for several minutes.  Finally she said, "I
hadn't expected it to be so... gray."
     Sedalia blinked and looked again.  He had seen the Isle before several times,
and he realized that he not really looked at it since the first time.  Though the
mist had cleared, the sky overhead was cloudy.  What light got through was, indeed,
gray.  And Talahya, THE city on the Isle (only Free Blades in Lirin Kiv and Darkholm
in Willow Beach were located elsewhere than in Talahya), was, at best, "picturesque."
It was too crowded to be beautiful now, if it ever had been.  Crowded with gladiators
who had, the senator knew, many virtues which did not include civic housekeeping.
The city was crowded, dirty, and on the waterfront run-down.  Under this leaden
sky... he glanced sideways at his young companion and tried to imagine what it was
like to see Talahya for the first time in this gloomy light.  Not inspiring, that
much was clear.  "It's better when the sun shines," he offered.
     Gissanniah shrugged.  "I guess.  Not that it really matters.  It isn't like I'm
going to be STAYING here.  We just want to talk to the king and then go home.  But
what I do NOT understand is why HE stays here."
     "No more do I," Sedalia said.  "The business of the Isle is dueling and nothing
else.  That the king should visit an arena occasionally is one thing.  But to take up
residence here?  The king's business is to govern the Andorian League, and every day
spent on the Isle is a day he's not doing his job.  And he's been here now for...
years.  I don't even know how long!"  The senator's mouth set in grim lines.  "Time
to remind him of his duty."

     They arrived on the Isle at midday, and it took most of the rest of that time to
work their way through the layers of petty officials to the final secretary, an
elderly part-elf by the name of Arkinsutram, who was able to grant them an
appointment with King Mikel.  "Tomorrow morning at eleven, and see to it that you're
on time.  But no more than half an hour, mind!  The king is very busy."
     Sedalia bit back his first impulse, which was to ask, "busy doing what?"  And
his second impulse, which was to question the king's name.  "Mikel" sounded almost
right, but not quite....  Maybe he had forgotten, so long as it had been since the
king had done anything for his people.  Or maybe it was this "simplified spelling"
movement that came and went.  Not that it was likely to matter.  If he was, indeed,
the king they were to see on the morrow, he could call himself Rumplestiltskin for
all Sedalia cared.  "We will be here," he said.  "We'll be early."

     Senator Sedalia spent the evening visiting with other Consortium gladiators on
the Isle.  And why not?  They were here, they were in some degree colleagues of his,
and you could never know when a few extra votes would make the difference between
victory and defeat.  Or who might have noticed some little detail that would provide
the key to handling the situation.
     As it happened, it was Brujah, a newly arrived graduate who had not yet fought
on the Isle, who raised the critical question.  "What about the oath, Senator?" she
asked.  Seeing his raised eyebrows, she went on, "I have not fought here yet, so I
have not yet taken the oath which all MUST take before entering an arena on the Isle.
But I've heard others take it, and seen more than I heard.  That oath is... binding.
Seriously binding.  Everyone who takes it is pledged, by magic even more than honor,
to obey the Grey Witch in her every command.  I suspect that this is how she's
controlled the whole Andorian situation so far.  Anyone who takes the oath, if told
that this King Mikel is THE king of the Andorian League and that his decisions are
not to be questioned must be unable to question them.  She--or anyone properly
designated by her, I would suppose--must be able even to command a Lord Protector to
attack his own manager or teammates and be obeyed.  All of Alastari, through
believing her at first to have their best interests at heart, and then through not
paying attention to the details, has put this terrible weapon in the Grey Witch's
hands.  How will you fight it, Senator Sedalia?  You have fought here, you have taken
the oath."
     The senator cleared his throat and blushed a little.  "I'm a politician," he
said.  "Oaths..." he snapped his fingers.  "I'm not making light of your warning, I
will definitely remember it and take it into account, but it is very nearly
impossible to bind a politicial with an oath.  I believe I have free action in this
matter, and I know that my companion, Gissanniah, has never fought here and so has
taken no oath."
     "Such might see to your own free will," Lady Huntsman said.  She was a graduate
of his own team, the Lenpros of Iaye.  "But what will you do if I, or Cardinal
Arizpe, or some other is commanded to attack you?"
     "I believe you underestimate the slipperyness of a politician, my lady," the
Cardinal said from across the room.  "I've no doubt he would fight if we cornered
him, but that is easier said than done, eh?"
     Sedalia nodded.  "Just so.  And the oath may not bind you all with equal
strength, or any of you quite so much as you think."
     "True," Brujah conceded at once.  "We won't know until it's tested.  And then it
will be too late if the binding IS strong enough to compel us."
     "So we will evade the need for that test for as long as may be," the senator
said.

     Senator Sedalia and Gissanniah were at the White Tower early.  "Better to spend
some time waiting," the senator said, "than arrive on time and find our appointment
had been preponed and we missed it."
     "Prepone?  Is that a word?"
     "Yes.  Prepone or antipone, either one, they go with postpone as the reverse
case."  He dismissed that issue with a gesture.  "As it is, here we are and--"
     The door at the rear of the waiting room opened.  The man who stood there was
completely unmemorable, a perfect bureaucratic type... except for his eyes.  Dark,
and sharp as nails.  He seemed surprised them, and he frowned.  "Sedalia from Iaye?"
     "In person," the senator said, standing.  "If the king is ready to see us now,
we--"
     "The king cannot see you at all," the bureaucrat said.  "He is unwell and needs
his rest."
     "His kingdom is unwell and needs his attention," Sedalia countered.
     The man's eyes darkened further, sharpened further.  No one but a politician
could have stood up to that piercing scrutiny without a twitch.  "The king cannot see
you," he repeated.
     "So be it, can we see him?"
     "I said--"
     "Just see him, to verify his presence.  Proof of life," the senator said.
"There are people in the Andorian League who have begun to question his continued
survival."
     "I, who am the Master of the White Tower for the Lady Sheila, say the king lives
and is here, but ill.  This is enough.  Who would question me?"
     "Many people across the Andorian League, I should think.  Come now, it would be
a simple matter to just let us take a quick look in on him.  No need to disturb him,
all we need is to SEE him."
     "You are impertinent.  It is impossible.  Leave."  He stepped back into the room
behind him, of which they had no glimpse, and shut the door.
     "That was a very strange encounter," Sedalia said.  "Do you think--?"
     "I think we should do as we were told and leave," Gissanniah said.  "Without
discussion."  Dropping her voice to just above a whisper, she added, "The walls may
have ears."
     "Ah.  Yes, silly of me not to have thought of that."  He held open the outer
door for her.  "It seems a shame to return to Iaye--or wherever--without more
information, but I can't see that we have any other options.  Waiting around here...
I don't think that paper-pusher is going to soften and let us in, do you?"
     "Not in this lifetime!"  Gissanniah turned toward the ferry.  Or, at least,
toward the road that would eventually take them to the ferry.  "I don't like the feel
of this place, and the sooner I'm away from it, the happier I'll be."
     "Quite understandable, dear lady," the senator said.  He fell into step beside
her.  They walked in silence for a block.  Two blocks.  The traffic was lighter than
it had been the day before, the district around the White Tower seeming almost
deserted.  It occurred to Sedalia that this could have a sinister implication, and he
peered searchingly into every alley they passed, every mist-shrouded doorway.
"Something is wrong here," he said quietly.
     Beside him, Gissanniah shivered and put her hand on the hilt of her sword.
"There's going to be an ambush," she said just as quietly.  "That Master of the White
Tower does not want us taking any news to the people of the League."

                             Notes from the arena champ.

Hail warriors and managers of Ardivent!

I N-I-V-I-X sit here on the throne for one final turn!  Don't worry Fandil you won't
have to spell my name anymore!  For those that care my faves are/were BS MO/MO Learn
of Attack.  Not that bad for a Striker.

I can happily say that I am off to retirement and back to the depths of the Infernal
Lands!

I didn't challenge anyone again so good luck to whomever gets the throne after me.

Technogeek, I hope to hear that you are back in this fine city soon!

Swing Hard.  Lunge Long!

Lord Protector
Nivix

                                      SPY REPORT

     It is I, Novgorodny Vir, Spymaster of Spymasters.  Look on my work, ye mighty, 
and despair!  Nothing is certain in ARDIVENT, with changing loyalties, changing 
Duelmasters.  Write this down:  new top team--THE BEARS II.  Say what you will about 
blind luck and dirty fighting, but INFERNAL LORDS will tell you 234-199-14 is nothing 
to laugh at...  Practice pays for H.P., who pummelled THE BLESSED, to pocket 22 
points.  A certain someone should cut down on the drinking and practice more, after 
losing 15 points to H.P..  (Discrete enough, THE BLESSED?) You could cut the tension 
with a scimitar as MIKE MILLER of FANDILS met the Duelmaster.  NIVIX successfully 
staved off a grab for the roses by MIKE MILLER of FANDILS.  Does ARDIVENT have no one 
talented enough to dethrone it?  So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable 
walls and challenging dead trees?  Someone's got a basic problem...   
     My mother wished me to avoid conflict, and seek the gentle trade of Spyreporter. 
But warriors aren't supposed to avoid fights!  Like a horde of jackals fleeing from 
the lion, so did the "warriors" in ARDIVENT avoid INFERNAL LORDS.  The warriors of 
INFERNAL LORDS found their efforts at combat frustrated as FANDILS apparently had 
more important things to do than fight.  Everyone is famous for fifteen minutes, and 
GODZILLA is it right now.  Most challenged warrior.  Isn't THE BEARS II proud!   
     Like the wind whispering among the pines, do hearest I many disquieting rumors.  
Ask not a spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen 
into an unconscious stupor.   
     All good things must come to an end.  As if buffeted by forces of nature beyond 
my control, I must take my leave of this place.  ARDIVENT, I leave you now.  The 
Duelmaster has agreed to foot my bill at The Victory Tavern.  'Til next time-- 
Novgorodny Vir

OK, OK, Nivix, Nivix, Nivix.  That's all I hear!  Salute! -- Fandil The Wise
P.S.  I FINALLY got it DeGotti!

Deceptive Delila -- Another bamboozle?!  Tsk.  Tsk. -- Bernice

Bannir Park -- That was not what I had in mind.  (wink)  Salute. -- Shelley

I sure hope that win vs. Visiting Orc will get me back on the winning trail! --
Memnock

Decker Cobb -- Nope, no actors in my kin! -- Memnock

Hopefully Technogeek will be back soon with his two stables cause the arena is
looking a little thin recently!  Maybe Adie and her Tufts will be back again shortly
too! -- DeGotti

Hugh Kant Wynn -- You're no daisy!  You're no daisy at all! -- Abbol

Deckeer Cobb -- I know it looks bad, but it's under control.  I'll just whip out my
backup...oh, that's right...nooooooooo backup weapon.  Gonna have to have a looong
talk with that manager. -- Betty

Terror Bear -- Spit the hook, did you?  Well, you came looking for it and you got it.
What say we hold off on the tie-breaker? -- Two Jacks

Bernice -- Not too shabby.  I keep this up maybe I can move away from the backsteps
and more towards the action end of the guildhouse. -- Deceptive Delila

Godzilla -- Damned overgrown lizard!  You'd do better to stick to trashing Tokyo or
wherever.  Something more in your scale, you know?  This just isn't YOU. -- Caddo
Scot

Nivix -- It's too bad you're a golem.  I can't seem to work up any interest in the
person, if there is such a thing, of a golem. -- Jacinthe

Shelley -- I like a feisty woman. -- Bannir Park

Bunker Betty -- Good gods, woman, not HERE. -- Decker Cobb

The Blessed -- I noticed, whereas I fought like the damned. -- Sanderscot

Nivix -- Does that mean the false warriors just have to sit around? -- Inquiring
Minds want to know

Shelley -- And for kicking suitable booty. -- Jacinthe
P.S.  I bet Intimidating Iris could explain it.  Or Dominating Dahlia.  Overbearing
Orchid?  Pugnacious Petunia?  Those Flower Girls know a lot of stuff....

Our congratulations to Nivix. -- Jorja and the Bluvalley Warriors
