"Silent wars cannot stay that way. Do they have it in them to kill? Do they know how to wield weapons effectively?"

Daolan stood a bit taller. "Yes, they can."

"I am a wounded being and tired, but pride will get you nowhere. I have seen prideful empires toppled. Armies have been decimated by commanders who were unable to see past their own illusions. If they can do so then show me. I'm unarmed. Attack me or choose one who will. If you can draw first blood then you are ready to take on this enemy of yours."

"Well, it's like what the old proverb says: 'give a man a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Outfit a medieval army with rifles and laser blades, and you've suddenly crippled the course of history for a non-industrial planet because you were too goshdarn lazy for the war to end, and you've probably started at least seven terrorist organizations who're abusing the new technology, and nobody can fight back because all they have are spears.'"

After Fadran and Daolan leave, Vale mutters "As if you know what you're talking about"

Which he does, but Vale doesn't see it that way

"Vale, is it?"  Martin steps closer.  "I get the thing about not giving the locals weapons, but I am not a local."  He frowns.  If Reese were here... well, they'd probably not be here at all, then.  "And I'm not Reese.  I don't have any weapons.  Know where I can find some of those?"

"Choose your champion well. Know this though. I am not so easily beaten."

"Oh, I'm sure. That's why my champion will be one who knows you well: Herate."

I quirk an eyebrow in surprise. "Is she your army that you send her against me? Very well if you desire send her against me."

Herate stood up. "You're sure? Both of you?"

"You're one of the best fighters I know, even when you don't use your Essence Marks."

"It would seem that a point is trying to be made. I don't think that we have a choice." I gently extricate myself from Fox's grip. I keep doubt from showing in my eyes. Weakness floods me, but I lock it away in a vault which ceases to exist.

Herate reluctantly pulled out her Essence Marks and stamped herself. Hareon sighed and shook her long ponytail. "So, we're fighting?"

Thanks! ...what do I do?

Queen followed Fadran out of the tent, grinning. "It's interesting to see this soft side of Herate."

"That it is." He stretched. "I was actually lying about needing sleep: I'll only sleep when the plot requires me to. What do you want to do, now that we've got a safe place to stay for awhile?"

Wrenden left the command tent to wander the camp. He would support this rebellion to the best of his abilities, but those didn't include fighting in an army. Instead, he got a tent from the quartermaster and set up a laboratory inside. Setting up the equipment, he started preparing his explosives, and a few small ones in case he was attacked directly.

Hareon looked at Nath. "Is this happening?"

"Indeed. The rules are simple first blood drawn declares the winner and loser of this duel. I chose the type of duel. You choose the weapon."
