"You have gone to far!" says the White Elder.  "Our Game does not
include players such as this demi-god or the horned-one."

The Black Elder smiles benignly.  "Nonsense.  The stakes are simply much
higher now.  Come, I have brought in a minor Power.  What will you do to
counter it?"

"By my Oath, I cannot!  You know we must acknowledge the spheres of
others," says White.

Black waves a finger under White's nose.  His tone becomes one of
ciding and cajoling.  "Look about you, brother.  On Nexus, two beings
of considerable power are contesting.  Another, a former inhabitant, is
making a bid for power there.  On the minotaur's homeworld, the gods
have entered into direct conflict.  And here, old alliances and new are
over-throwing decades of stasis.  Chaos abounds!  It is a time for the 
casting away of Rules..."  

His voice fading to silence, Black settles back in his seat.  He waves
his hands across the gameboard.  "Come, brother.  It is time to make our
OWN rules.  Let the Game take on dimesions we have never witnessed."

White is silent for some time.  It could be eternity or only a
hear-beat.  Slowly, he smiles.  "Yes, let us Game.  We shall finally
play without fear of interference."  Leaning forward, White examines the
board.  "It will prove most interesting."

A matching smile shows on Black's face.  "Indeed it will.  I have been
saying for centuries that we needed a change."


Chuckles echo through the clearing, and the two Powers lean forward over
their board.
