Then, at one side of the stage, the High Troupe Master entered. His suit projected the ever-shifting multicoloured lozenges of the Laughing God as he strolled casually onto the stage, still laughing at the cosmic folly of the Fallen. He looked at the triumphant form of Slaanesh atop the mound of writhing dancers, and he laughed. He looked at the Mime-Daemons and the Death Jesters as they bore down upon him. And he laughed.

For a moment, he could not be seen among the press of Slaanesh’s minions, but with a cry he flew above their heads, tumbling in flight to land facing them. As they turned, he leaped again: two figures dropped as he touched them, and five more clawed the empty air as he somersaulted across the stage.

His laugh now was one of glee as he leaped and tumbled, evading the hunters and turning now and then to strike back. He picked up the body of a Death Jester and hurled it at the figure of Slaanesh, who reeled at the impact. With a wild cry the Great Harlequin leaped forward, pulled a single dancer from the feet of Slaanesh, and withdrew. At his touch, the writhing figures on the dancer’s suit dissolved into the lozenge pattern, and the dancer began to laugh as he danced the dance of the Harlequin. The two of them put the remaining Daemons to flight and, as the last fell, Slaanesh joined the battle.

The confrontation between Slaanesh and the Great Harlequin seemed to go on forever. Other dancers melted from the stage as the two figures cartwheeled and somersaulted around each other. Slowly, in the background, the Mime-Daemons and the Harlequin Players took up the dance, reflecting the movements of the two principals in perfect unison.

The Dance ended abruptly, the struggle unresolved. It was indeed the Dance Without End. The hall quiet, the dancers left the stage. The audience sat stunned.
