Off the coast of Andoria:
Towers rising out of the misty dawn. They had sailed due east from Skaithvarn,
so that had to be the coast of Andoria, but Raoul couldn't remember any coastal city
with such slender, pearl-colored spires. Those looked more like the skyline of a
dream than practical stonework. They caught the growing light and glowed. They were
beautiful, but unearthly. Unreal. Not residences for practical folk. Raoul thought
it a fitting destination for the boat Khaldren had made with his magic, though. The
boat was, in its way, as dreamlike as the city ahead; The hull was mother of pearl,
the sails were webs of cloud. Magic, of course. Powerful magic. Raoul wondered
uneasily what Khaldren had done to assemble that power.
The exiled Kraelian had already demonstrated that he was ruthless in pursuit of
his goals. Raoul shifted slightly, uneasily aware of the waves of magic that seethed
throughout the uncanny vessel. Khaldren had not hesitated to cast a spell on the
three gladiators when they entered his tower in Skaithvarn. A binding of loyalty and
obedience, the Lord Protector guessed. He had not resisted at the time. In truth,
he had been taken completely by surprise. But he sensed that the spell had not
gripped him so thoroughly as the wizard intended. He was fairly sure he could break
it, and very sure that he wanted to be further away from Khaldren when he did that--
THIS spell, he could break, but what if the wizard immediately countered with
something stronger? And the fate of the two women with him was unknown; they might
be as lightly held as he was, or belong to Khaldren body and soul.
"That is Zorpunt," Jeri Northwind said. Her voice was calm, emotionless. Very
certain.
Zorpunt? Raoul blinked and controlled his impulse to question that statement.
True, there were towers in the coastal city, but nothing like those slender spires of
glass! Without turning his head, Raoul looked sideways at the wizard.
Khaldren's face was set in lines of effort, sheened with sweat. Using his magic
to turn the work-a-day port city into this dream? Wasteful of energy...unless he had
some inexhaustible source at hand. And why? "Krael shall be reborn," he muttered
through clenched teeth, "and Celestinvael, and Orgillat in the south. But this shall
be my seat of power in the new world that will be...."
The ship of pearl glided to a stop beside a dock that had been transformed
into...agate, Raoul decided. Or something like that. It was the kind of thing the
Chaos contamination might have done in the recent past. Maybe that was part of
Khaldren's power, that he could harness the residual Chaos energy? Not a comfortable
thought, although the gladiator supposed it was better than using lives to fuel
magic. So long as it didn't get loose.
There was no one on the dock, no one moving anywhere in sight. Khaldren stepped
ashore as an emperor might step ashore in conquered province. The gladiators
followed, and the ship dissolved into mist behind them.
The Assassins' Guild's Black Book appeared in the wizard's hands, and he smiled
at it coldly. "I note that 'Arenamaster Kai' has a secret he would not like
advertised," Khaldren murmured. "For a price, I will keep his secret between these
covers. Bring him to me." He didn't look at the gladiators at any point while he
spoke.
Raoul felt the magic sliding around him, urging him forward, and he was willing
to go. Once out of the wizard's sight, he would test the binding, but not here. He
and the two women walked quietly into the city. Jeri, a native of Zorpunt, was
slightly ahead of the older gladiators.
The streets were filled with mist even though the sun must now be up. The
buildings, even the street underfoot, showed the effects of transforming magic. They
were ethereal, idealized. Unreal. Nothing and no one moved that Raoul could see.
Jeri turned a corner. Looking up the cross street, Raoul saw what he guessed
was the arena, although no arena of his experience had ever had those delicate arches
of gold-veined marble.
Raoul stopped, setting his feet firmly when the magic tried to force him onward.
It scrabbled at his mind, feeling like a handful of energetic bugs. But he wasn't a
puppet. He would not BE a puppet, especially not for a man who should have been dead
centuries ago! He served his manager Generalissimo Puerco, King Mickeal of Andoria,
and Sheila Greywand. The oath he had taken when he first reached the Isle shimmered
in his mind. Khaldren's magic shrieked against it, fingernails on a slate, then fell
away. The wizard would--must--know that he'd broken free. Raoul turned set off at a
run down the first street he saw. A real street, this one, with cracked paving
stones, and rubbish piled against the curbs.
Someone was running and panting beside him. He risked a glance. Hallie O'Dene,
the Delarquan Lady Protector. But not Jeri.
They ran for several minutes, but at the first sign of people ahead, living
people, they dropped to a walk without needing to discuss it. Running people are
conspicuous. Neither of them spoke of their problem, either. Time enough for that
when they were out of the city. Zorpunt was a narrow city, stretched along its
river; and they were crossing its axis. There was a bridge ahead, which would put
them on the south bank and that much farther from the arena and the dock where they
had left Khaldren.. That much closer to the countryside.
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Hallie O'Dene leaned back against one of the trees at the edge of the road. She
was breathing hard. "Do you think we're far enough away?"
Raoul dropped onto the grass beside her and glanced back toward Zorpunt. The
city's skyline, barely visible in the distance, shimmered slightly but otherwise
looked normal. "I think so, doll," he answered. "I hope so!"
After a minute, Hallie sat up straighter. "I wish we could have brought Jeri
away, too! I didn't realize until it was too late that she wasn't with us."
"I don't think we could've done it, doll," Raoul said quietly. He took off his
hat and stared at the dusty crown for a moment, then put it back on. "I think it's
Lady Greywand's magic that saved us--the oath we took when we got to the Isle. Jeri
might be a Lady Protector, but she never went to the Isle. She had no defense
against...his spell." He found himself reluctant to speak the wizard's name here, as
though it might draw the man's attention.
"People have to be warned--"
"And there's only us to do it," Raoul agreed. "I'm heading for Andor by the
fastest road."
"And I for Delarq Tor. We are menaced, too. Celestinvael and Orgillat! Gods
protect us. If they're anything like the histories say...." She shook her head.
"I've heard of Celestinvael," Raoul said slowly. "It was between Ardivent and
the Federation, and it existed at about the same time as Krael. But Orgillat?"
"Near the mouth of the Selwin river," Hallie said. "It was of the same time.
We remember it--when we must--as a place of power and fear. If...that man would
recreate the Empire of Skorlos, he must be stopped! By any means that we can."
Raoul nodded. "The legends of Krael are dark legends, too. I should be able to
reach King Mickael with the warning. Who would be equivalent in the Delarquan
Federation?"
"No one has complete power," Hallie said, frowning. "Princess Chrysanth, maybe,
but...." She sighed and shrugged. "It's a place to start." She got to her feet and
held out her hand as Raoul rose also. "Good luck."
"To both of us, we'll need it," Raoul agreed, standing. He grasped her hand
warmly for a moment. "May all your gods go with you."
*** ***** *** ***** ***
Arenamaster Kai of Zorpunt glared at the stranger, hands twitching with the urge
to reach for his sword. But the damned wizard had already demonstrated that he could
get a spell off faster than even an arenamaster could attack. At least, Kai supposed
it was a spell, even if it was like nothing he'd ever seen before. And nothing he
ever wanted to experience again. "What do you want?" he croaked.
"Your obedience. This 'arena'--it will now be run for me, instead of Sheila of
the Grey Wand. The blood will be spilled in my name, not hers, the power from that
blood will come to me, not to her. This will be the beginning of a new Alastari, and
I will rule it!"

THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the King's Sentinel
I guess if you're going to wear the black hat, you might as well wear it tall
and proud. It is I, Je Suis Bien, your King's Sentinel of Andorak! Hail and well
met, brave warriors. Seems like just the other day I was off defending the Gate vs.
the invading horde of monsters. Although I had to be resurrected a few times, I did
not go without a kill myself as I put an Invisible down.
Since this is my first time upon the throne, I'll make this short and see if I
am deserving next turn. My challenge goes out to Mars, in an attempt to avenge the
beating he gave my teammate last week. May the fates smile upon me once again.
Fight well!
-- Je Suis Bien
REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Well, I just lost three hours of typing by being an idiot and using notepad to
do my report, so I'm sorry, I just can't do it all over again.
JUPITER (44-2554) (49-53-0,198) of SHERWOOD FOREST challenged SALINE LAMORAK
(11-4261) (31-47-0,202) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. JUPITER devastated SALINE LAMORAK in a 1
minute mismatched Challenge fight. Up 4. Size advantage, anyone?
GIMETHATSHIELD (26-1306) (40-31-1,201) of HEADBANGERS challenged QUICHE LORRAINE
(46-3451) (27-26-1,182) of DEATHTONGUE. GIMETHATSHIELD won victory over QUICHE
LORRAINE in a 1 minute Challenge battle. Down 19. Thanks for the challenge AND
personal ad, Gime.
VISION (26-1573) (37-21-2,209) of HEADBANGERS challenged SANDS (11-4123) (39-48-
3,195) of SCARLET KNIGHTS. VISION overcame SANDS in a 2 minute Challenge match.
Down 14. Again, thanks for the challenge and personal ad.
POSITIVE (26-3633) (85-70-0,187) of WARCKERS challenged ZEPHYR (52-2935) (47-17-
0,203) of ELEMENTAL FORCE. POSITIVE luckily beat ZEPHYR in a crowd pleasing 4 minute
bloody Challenge duel. Up 16! Thanks for the positive challenge and the...oh, never
mind on the personal, but thanks for the upchallenge at least!
And a random matchup for the throne:
JE SUIS BIEN (26-626) (81-44-1,355) of HEADBANGERS fought SNOWY OWL (71-3252)
(53-49-0,231) of CALL OF THE WILD. JE SUIS BIEN was savagely defeated by SNOWY OWL
in a exciting 3 minute Title fight. A huge difference in recognition, as Snowy Owl
was 124 point below his opponent. But the victory belongs to our feathered friend.
Congrats, Owl...now let's have a King's Sentinel's message or something!!!

PERSONAL CORRESPONDENCE
Mars -- Well now, that was rotten. You didn't even *bring* a shield. How was I
suppose to win? -- Gimethatshield
Sands -- If it makes you feel any better, you were my second challenge. I have been
unsuccessfully challenging the King's Sentinel for a while now.... -- Je Suis Bien
Saline Lamorak -- Well fought. We'll have to dance again soon. -- Vision
Lukarian Lamorak -- Man, I tell ya, I am not used to this losing stuff. -- Homeless
Prince
Managers of Andorak -- What is up with the total lack of personal ads? -- Sablon-O-
Vlad
Mercury -- (puzzled look) I thought you just stood around and measured the
temperature! -- Schendirk
Pluto -- I've always had a problem when it comes to kicking dogs. I just can't do
it. -- B. Llud Pitt
Positive -- Ah, a train! That is positively good news. Thanks. -- Leeta Stormrider
P.S. Not that you had anything to do with it, but still....
Zephyr -- Well, HECK. You rotten, low-down, fight-winning skill-raper! -- Pussycat

make? You're gone and nobody's talking. -- Leeta

ZalCon2 Updates (1/9/04)
The contest will be starting on the turn due February 23rd, 2004 and run for 20
turns.
Only one team will be allowed for each manager in the contest, regardless of
whether additional teams are announced as contest entries. No exceptions for any
reason.
The Style Master points should read that there is +1 point for beating a member
of your own style even if the warrior is not registered for the contest.
Rolling points for consecutive turns as Style Master means that your warrior
gets the extra point every turn after the first 3 that he continues to hold the
title.
The points for Quality Wins should be clarified to read the winning warrior is
ranked below by the number of recognition points needed for each bonus point at the
start of the fight. For example, Warrior A (3-2-0, 17) beats Warrior B (4-1-0, 35)
and receives 2 bonus points under Quality Win for the 18 point difference in the
ranking.
I believe that is all the clarifications for the moment, please feel free to
email, diplo, call or write me with any other questions or concerns about the
contest.

CHAOTIC WINDS
Once, long ago, the four Winds of Time descended upon Alastari like a TEMPEST of
epic proportions, they slew everything within their all-encompassing reach. They
left nothing. In their wake lay smoldering ruins.
In their haste they sped towards the center of this great land like a colossal
giant would step across an ocean. The four storms picked up momentum on their way
towards each other. A collision was eminent.
The first storm wind, the oldest and wisest of the four was named APEXALUS. The
second, FLAGGSTAFF, was the quickest and loudest entity ever created. The third Wind
of Time was MATRIATIN, neither old or young, quick or slow, but fierce and feisty all
the same. The forth wind, ASSAMITHIUS, the youngest yet most creative in its means
of destruction.
When finally they merged at the center of ALASTARI, an incredible destructive
explosion occurred. And when the smoke and debris cleared they were one. CHAOS was
born.
And Chaos spread across the diminished lands reeking havoc and doom with its
passing, and destroying allover again that which already lay in ruin.

All -- I send out this invitation to all teams and managers. A new Alliance has been
formed. The Living Essences Alliance is being formed to join forces in an effort to
eliminate common foes and to help the joined warriors grow and learn to the best of
their abilities by offering suggestions and advice. It doesn't matter what arena

open to one and all! If you are interested in joining, please DIPLO me, or send a
personal ad to DM 93's newsletter. If you wish to join beyond March 2004, send a PA
to DM 82. Come join the fun! -- Dagan LifeGiver, mgr. Shadow Warriors (DM 93)
28 January 2004
