A game of four-dimensional chess between "The Mandarin" and "The Entity" does not disappoint. It's heavily suggested that these two characters are the Toymaker and Fenric respectively. The stakes between the two are high, and the end result, a stalemate, is brilliant. A fun, well-written little piece that's quite short, but amazing in its implications for the two characters.
