WARRIOR SPOTLIGHT
Dark Stoicism
The giant sword cut a furrow into the dirt. The night's light reflected from a few
patches on its slowly rusting blade, which rose out through an upturned mouth. The
ricasso head stretched past a crossguard of outstretched hands. The stylized fighter
handle stood on a pommel skull. Two beefy hands grasped the figure's body. The sword
was massive, like the warrior holding it, called Stoic. The sword was sleek and
battle-worn, the warrior was bloated and uncertain. Towering though he was, even under
plates of armor, fat rolls peeked out. One might wonder if the cook decided to go to
war while the soldiers stayed in the kitchen.
Stoic looked back. His manager, memory, had been there just a moment ago, but the tree
line had misted over, obscuring the entrance. He shrugged under the weight of the
armor and looked through his helmet. The moonlight was bright on a clearing in the
forest. All was deadly quiet, night mist roiling. His sollrets clunking through patchy
grass occasionally broke the silence. It would be serene, but he could feel eyes
everywhere and the promise of death. This was not a quiet forest and certainly not the
boisterous and sandy arena he normally fought in. This was the Dark Arena, final
resting spot of the failed gladiator.
* * *
"I can do better. I can! Please!" Stoic pleaded but memory was unmoved. "My decision
is final. You don't have the desire to live a life of war. You have not grown into the
gladiator name I gave you." Stoic was on his knees, begging, searching memory's
unseeing eyes for hope. Memory's mouth tightened as he let out an almost imperceptible
sigh. He pulled the hood of his tight black cloak over his head, turned, and drifted
away.
"Wyvern, please. Surely you can save me?" The trainer put a hand on his shoulder. With
Stoic on his knees, he and the diminutive trainer were eye to eye. An immortal warrior
with many years and many deaths behind her, she did not harbor his fear of the
unknown. "Today's fight is over. Tomorrow we will train for the next." She locked eyes
with him, passing on some of her inner resolve. "Come," she bade, as she led him from
the infirmary back to their training hall.
* * *
A biting pain seared through an exposed flap of skin on his stomach. His mind had
wandered away from the fight. His opponent, a Dark Arena champion, had entered
silently. An elf stood before him, two feet shorter, but standing tall and towering
above Stoic by confidence and bearing if not physical height. He might have been a
glimmering angel, moonbeams dancing on exquisite silver mail. The elf brought his
needle-thin sword up, hilt to face, blade skyward, in honorable warrior salute. He was
sure he had won, and everyone knew it. He had time to honor the walking dead.
* * *
Old Wyvern snaked a short spear under his guard, stopping just short of cutting. She
always used her deadly spear, even in training, such was her skill and control. He had
a greatsword, blunted for training, but massive. "I can barely move it. How can I
train or fight if it's too heavy?" He felt a familiar and painful whack from the blunt
end of Wyvern's spear. "Don't blame the sword. Desire victory and the sword will
move." She struck again and he moved to the side, not moving the sword so much as
standing it in the path of the attack. The parry was unorthodox but successful.
"That'll do. Now strike!"
* * *
Stoic tried to recall his training as the fight continued. It wasn't working. He was
bleeding profusely. He fell back on his reserves of strength and willpower. Slash,
cut, smash... the elf was striking every weak spot in his armor, inflicting damage at
will. Circle, stab, circle, slash, circle, cut. Stoic had been on the ground twice
before struggling to his feet, stumbling and throwing up defenses with little success.
He felt frustrated and clumsy but kept defending. Maybe the attacks were coming more
slowly...
* * *
The arena crowd was restless, only moderately attentive to the morning's rookie
warriors. The sand worked its way between his toes. He was just a boy. His parents did
not love their son so much as an arena bounty. Stoic was scared and slow and the man
in front of him wished him harm. And harm he did. Stoic cowered behind his shield,
without even a weapon. "It's better this way. Rely on your hands. I want to see what
you can do," memory had said. Stoic was bruised and bleeding. His opponent was more
tired than injured, exhausted, really. Under a slowly diminishing rain of blows, Stoic
heard calls from his teammates. "Now strike!" They were yelling frantically. He peered
over his shield to see his opponent, sweating, breathing heavily, grip loosening on
his sword. The attacking gladiator overextended above his head, ready to deliver
another hacking, unopposed blow. Stoic roared upward to his full height, at the same
time sending his shield through the surprised gladiator's face. Blood spattered, he
flipped once and landed face down with a thud, sword flying end over end to land ten
feet away. The crowd gasped for a moment then roared. His team roared. He looked to
see memory, gazing forward blindly as always, but clearly smiling at him.
* * *
Back in the night mist, he was tired and hurt. After a long fight, minutes under this
barrage. It must happen soon. Stoic knew he would die. But he wasn't dead yet. He saw
the elf circling, waiting for another attack. He saw the moonlight and the trees. He
felt the watching eyes. He felt memory and old Wyvern and his team. He knew they could
see. He felt his opponents and all the gladiators in him for this moment. He felt his
parents, who only saw in him a mouth to feed. He saw the high elf, still glistening,
now with sweat -- still looking down on Stoic -- looking down not with haughty
indignation as before, but the desperation of a man trying to chop down a stone tower
and just realizing his error. Stoic saw not confidence but desperation. For the first
time, resignation gave way to fury. "Strike Now," he heard in his mind.
The elf leapt forward, blade flashing. Stoic spun to his right, pulling the massive
blade in his wake. The elf and his blade shot through the spot Stoic had been, then
turned back in disbelief at the unexpected life in his easy quarry. "Strike Now,"
Stoic thought, as he continued his spin, continued his fury, pulling the blade full
circle, letting out a roar that called all the judging eyes to witness.
The blade felt warm in his hand. He struggled to catch his breath. The arc of the
blade had pulled him another half circle away from his opponent. He looked back at the
elf, ready for the next attack. The elf's body stood, head lying on its shoulder, neck
detached entirely where the blade had hewn through. The head's eyes were still open,
judging differently now, askew. Immortal these Dark Arena champions were, and
immortality makes death an odd thing. Stoic fell to his knees, sobbing. The fight was
over. And it might never end.

THE GUARDIAN'S FORUM
Reflections by the Chief Tower Guard
Mad Cat is a dangerous lookin' Critter. Was he here the turn before? I don't
remember that. And I think I'd have remembered someone with 7 kills coming after me.
That is a whole heap of kills. I am glad I did not become number 8. Actually that
really wouldn't matter that much anymore, but it kinda hurts, you know? Plus, then I
wouldn't be able to write this inspiring column. And that would be a loss. So it is
good that I sent the Cat to his litter box and I kept the throne. I suspect I'll be
facing Avonside next turn. Seems like the most likely matchup. I'll leave it up the
Fates and not challenge, but that is the highes ranked challenger. And the Kiwi does
only have one kill.
That is all for now. Enjoy your time on the sands, gladiators!

REPORT FROM WITHIN THE TOWER
Hey!
Are you ready for a roller-coaster ride of thrills and excitement? Well, get ready,
because it ain't happening here. No one challenged, avoided, or died. On the plus
side, I think there were just two stand-ins out of fourteen fights.
Baldassare did not fight Avonside as he expected. BALDASSARE (7-6003) (72-54-0,295)
of SENTINELS fought SUPERSIZE ME (47-8110) (32-21-2,207) of FAST FOOD. BALDASSARE
slimly won victory over SUPERSIZE ME in a 2 minute Title fight. So, he's still our
top Parry-Strike and our Tower Guardian. Thanks for the column, big guy.
SWEET REVENGE (8-5378) (41-14-0,215) of PEASANT REBELLION fought KING MIDAS (59-2770)
(53-69-1,188) of TALL TALES. SWEET REVENGE vanquished KING MIDAS in an exciting 1

(42-46-0,196) of COWBOY CROONERS. HAGAR BLUETOOTH defeated HOPALONG CASSIDY in a
crowd pleasing 4 minute bloody duel. Bluetooth is our top Wall of Steel. Hoppy is
the top Parry-Lunge.
GRIZZ GRIMHULT (19-5083) (30-20-1,199) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE fought SOUTHPOINT (52-
3492) (30-12-0,202) of OHIO. GRIZZ GRIMHULT was defeated by SOUTHPOINT in an exciting
1 minute fight. Grizz is top Striker.

popular 1 minute uneven brawl. Uncle Fester is top Slasher.
KNOS THE AXE (74-4394) (34-12-1,151) of BATTLEAXE STAMPEDE fought G W BUSH (59-2764)

mismatched brawl.

117-0,176) of WITLESS WONDERS. PERISTYLIUM lost to TAMMY FAYE in an action packed 2
minute duel. Peristylium is our best Lunger, and Ms Faye is overall popularity
leader.
The peaceful apple planter is Chrysalis' leading Total Parry. JOHNNY APPLESEED (59-
2767) (42-86-1,159) of TALL TALES fought JINX (47-7951) (44-38-1,164) of TEAM TOONS.
JOHNNY APPLESEED defeated JINX in an action packed 3 minute gory duel.
STAY PUFT (20-144) (27-15-1,155) of PHANTOM REGIMENT fought GARGLE SPEW (45-3902) (23-

366) (12-2-0,59) of VIKINGS. SUFFOCATING SIGHT was devastated by KILIMANJARO in a 6
minute one-sided battle. Mr. Sight is this turn's favorite fighter.

0,30). CABO WABO overpowered RIRORNI SOLDIER in a popular 1 minute mismatched
conflict.

of VIKINGS. HAPPY was overpowered by SIGMUNDR in a 1 minute uneven struggle. This
loss won Happy the "least popular" spot today.
That's all for now. See you in fourteen.

NAME CHANGE-O-RAMA
Algernon, who had NOT gotten the name change he'd asked for, looked at the latest
petitioner. This was a typical gladiator, big, muscular, and scarred, with a frown.
"Ah, what can I do for you?"
"Name change. I heard we can do that. I'm tired of being Jane Doe."
"I'd think you would be," Algernon said faintly. "The Commission has actually
been thinking about this. It isn't FREE, mind you! It takes money to run our office,
you know, and we want to buy some goats--"
"I don't care about goats!" He made a crude suggestion about goats.
"Gladiators, teams, it will cost you two dollars to make a change--"
"I had a talk with my manager. He'll find the money. I want to change my name
to Jane Ralph. I'm no doe!" He thumped a fist on the counter.
"Er, yes. Jane Ralph. Fill out this form, please." He pushed the paper across
the counter. "The changes start on the 15th of April--that's the Ides, you know, and
can be submitted through the end of May. With the payment. No change without the
goat, ah, the gold."

Warrior and team name changes will be accepted beginning April 15 and continuing
throughout the month of May. The cost will be $2 per name change. All proceeds will
be used to buy goats via Heifer International and will be matched up to $500.
If you have names you want to change, please contact Customer Service. -- RSI
