"Ord!" he screamed at the boy. But, in his anger, he spoke the words in Japanese, so the boy only got the tone of Yukira's vehemence, not the actual meaning. "You dare interfere with a servant of Kanawa? I should let the Inquisitors arrive so that you can learn true fear! But that would not serve my master's purpose."

The boy, confused and frightened, struggled vainly to get free. Yukira, however, had no intention of letting him leave until he learned proper respect for his betters.

"Speak, ord! Beg for your worthless life!"

"You serve your master well, heathen," said a voice from behind Yukira, speaking fluent Japanese. "Bullying an ord in a language he does not understand no doubt accomplishes some great sacrilegious task that is beyond my sensibilities."

The Japanese started to move, but a sharp metal object placed in the small of his back gave him pause.

"You have come to this land to interfere with my master's work," the voice continued. "Perhaps you meant to warn the government? Maybe give them the secrets to discovering stelae? No matter. I have found you and I shall save your heathen soul. Tell me, do you repent of your sins?"

"I repent nothing!" Yukira shouted. "I defy you and your master! As an agent of a High Lord, I demand you release me!"

"Very well, I release you," the voice said, burying the sharp metal object into Yukira's spine. Yukira fell forward, sliding off the object and spinning with his last ounce of strength to face his adversary. He spun far enough to see that it was the monk that had inspired the street crowd standing over him, holding a bloody knife. Then he fell into darkness.

"Go, my son," he heard the monk's words follow him into the dark. " Go and sin no more."

In another cosm, on another world, Lady Pella Ardi-nay stood upon the battlement of her castle, overlooking the assembled masses of the world of Aysle.

"They are ready, my Lady," said the elven wizard who bowed before her.

"Are they, Delyndun?" Ardinay asked. Her mood was dark, distant, on this, her day of glory. "When we are out of earshot of the masses, do not call me 'Lady'. I am still Lord Angar Uthorion underneath this feminine flesh."

"Of course, Lord Uthorion, forgive my error," De-lyndun said.

"Enough," Ardinay who was Uthorion ordered, "get to the front of the line and drop the maelstrom bridge."

"As you wish, Lord Uthorion."

Uthorion, who wore the body of Ardinay, looked down at the assemblage. All the beings of Aysle under his command were represented. Humans, dwarves, dragons, the demons of the Wild Hunt. Only the giants remained beyond his grasp, and the majority of the elves, who held Ardinay in contempt.

Before the elf mage disappeared down the tower steps, Ardinay who was Uthorion called out one final order.

"Remember, Delyndun," he said through soft, red female lips, "you are to descend the bridge first. I shall not follow until you assure me that she is not on this world called Earth."

"But, Lord," Delyndun asked, "does not the Gaunt Man expect you .
