Fratsfa:
Sizzling Sunflower had said that the obstacles on the way back to the true
Fratsfa, three mancats and two more ordinary men, would not be a problem and she
meant it. After all, she was a skilled gladiator, a Lady Protector, and she had just
defeated the champion of this place, the vampire. She was confident of her prowess,
and by the way they moved, she could see that her opponents were also confident--of
HER prowess.
She smiled and moved into the attack, her blade flickering in diffused light of
this place. Five opponents at once, well, she wasn't alone, either, and though
Lenpro was, from her point of view, old, she knew he was resolute and suspected that
he had considerable skill himself. They could handle this.
Her target was the group of mancats, Aruaki, probably, who had been frozen in
mid-change. She judged them to be the most dangerous, and she was, after all, the
Lady Protector. They seemed nervous, not at all eager to close with her, which
showed more intelligence than she'd expected of them. Not that it would do them any
good.
She grinned and leaped forward suddenly, right into the nearest one. There was
a bright flash, almost blinding, but she didn't need to see to recognize the feeling
of her blade driving into flesh and bone. She wrenched it free, blinking away after-
images, and pivoted toward where the next-closest had been.
He wasn't there! As her vision cleared, she saw that he was backing away, and
the other had frankly turned and run. Well, she was going to get at least ONE more!
She bared her teeth in a snarl and stalked after the one still present and on his
feet. Saw his eyes widen in true fear as he backed faster, apparently afraid to turn
his back on her. He was blinking and squinting, too, and there was something wrong
with his shadow.
"Sunflower! Let him go--the portal is clear--"
She did a little blinking of her own, shook her head but the voice didn't go
away. Remembered finally that she had a partner here, and glanced around.
Lenpro had both his men down, one was dead, she couldn't tell about the other.
He was squinting at her.
"Let that creature go," he said. "We have more important things to do. Ah, you
might sheathe your sword...."
She looked down at the blade in her hand and realized that it was hot gold,
bright as sunlight. Reluctantly, it seemed a shame to hide that glorious light, she
slid it into the scabbard. The world here seemed a lot darker after she did. Would
it still blaze with sunlight in the ordinary world? Perhaps not, but there was only
one way to find out. She squared her shoulders and faced the portal. "Let's go,"
she said.

DUELMASTER'S COLUMN
Notes from the arena champ.
Wow! I am stoked! This is soooooooo cool. Duelmistress?! I have always
aspired for it, but I would never have thought I could make it, especially at such an
early time in my career. I have to thank Fandil for the teaching (Maybe he can give
me some more when he gets done, if he gets out alive, of that Andorian Succession
thing.), my teammates for the training (Especially Anna Beatrice who abdicated the
throne and gave me a chance.), and my Mom and Dad for letting me do this. Thanks,
you all!
It was suggested for my first column that I let you know the naming status of
the current Fandils. (Remember, all are related, in some way, to the Consortium Big
boss.)
Anna Beatrice - his mother's real name
Sis (me) - his mother's nickname
Brother Jerome - Jerry is his wife's youngest (of six) sibling
Uncle Bob - his father's older brother
Lily Catherine - his youngest daughter
Sometimes naming is so simple and common isn't it?
Well, here I reign, and it looks like my next fight will be Deathtongue's Betty.
She is very good. I can only hope and pray.
Sis, Duelmaster
SPY REPORT
Good day, in ARDIVENT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news. And let's see, TESS TURBO fought
RAGNAR and gained 17 points and contributed to DEATHTONGUE's 2-3-0. RAGNAR has lost
to TESS TURBO, falling 11 points, while helping make SERPENT'S HOLD a 3-1-0 turn.
Defending hers title for another turn, SIS kept DEATHTONGUE's warrior, BINKLY, from
claiming the throne. Tell me, is nothing sacred? I have heard from unimpeachable
sources that The Seaside Manor uses trolls in their stew. Talk about gristle!
Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.'
Inscrutable, but true. I also notice that the DEATHTONGUE stable was the most
avoided team this turn. Come on ARDIVENT, what are you afraid of? And avoiding
DEATHTONGUE more than any other team we find FANDILS. ARDIVENT, are we going to
accept, or respect this sort of thing? The most challenged warrior this turn was
SERPENT'S HOLD's warrior SHADOW BLADE. More fighters challenged him than challenged
the Duelmaster!
A coward dies a thousand deaths, a brave man only once. Wise men know this to
be true. Is it really true that ARDIVENT has more dishwashers per capita that
fighters? Just thought I'd ask...
I like this place, ARDIVENT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.
Who could ask for more? It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy. Until you see my quill in ARDIVENT again,
farewell-- Alarond the Scribe
