Denubis shivered. He wished the Kingpriest would not use

that particular metaphor. Denubis detested spiders. He hated

all insects, in fact; something he never admitted and, indeed,

felt guilty about. Was he not commanded to love all creatures,

except, of course, those created by the Queen of Darkness?

That included ogres, goblins, trolls, and other evil races, but

Denubis was not certain about spiders. He kept meaning to

ask, but he knew this would entail an hour-long philosophical

argument among the Revered Sons, and he simply didn't think

it was worth it. Secretly, he would continue to hate spiders.

Denubis slapped himself gently on his balding head. How

had his mind wandered to spiders? I'm getting old, he thought

with a sigh. I'll soon be like poor Arabacus, doing nothing all

day but sitting in the garden and sleeping until someone wak-

ens me for dinner. At this, Denubis sighed again, but it was

nearer a sigh of envy than one of pity. Poor Arabacus, indeed!

At least he is spared -

"Denubis...."

Denubis paused. Glancing this way and that around the

large corridor, he saw no one. The cleric shuddered. Had he

"Denubis," came the voice again.

he halted in his course and moved slowly over to the figure that

stood in the shadows, knowing that the figure would never

move out of the shadows to meet him. It was not that light was

harmful to the one who awaited Denubis, as light is harmful to

some of the creatures of darkness. In fact, Denubis wondered if

anything on the face of this world could be harmful to this

man. No, it was simply that he preferred shadows. Theatrics,

Denubis thought sarcastically.

"You called me, Dark One?" Denubis asked in a voice he

tried hard to make sound pleasant.

He saw the face in the shadows smile, and Denubis knew at

once that all of his thoughts were well-known to this man.

"Damn it!" Denubis cursed (a habit frowned upon by the

Kingpriest but one which Denubis, a simple man, had never

been able to overcome). "Why does the Kingpriest keep him
