Scene 17 ------------------------------------------- King Enma's Palace

* The large emperor is sitting in his private quarters having a quiet chat with his wife, Empress Dhumorna, when a messenger enters. The messenger waits until Enma waves him over, he then leans to whisper in his large ear, hands Enma a DVD, then leaves quickly. Dhumorna watches her husband move to their surveillance area. He pops the DVD in and watches it. When he realizes that it is the footage of his son's capture he growls. Dhumorna looks up a bit surprised at his reaction.


Dhumorna- (sighs) Now what has our son done, Enma?

Enma- That youko has the nerve to dare such a crime?!


* Dhumorna sits up on her chais to watch King Enma storm out of their quarters declaring to detach the Youko's head from his shoulders as he disappears out the door. Puzzled to hear her husband so angered at one demon, the empress goes over to play the DVD. She is about to stop it herself until she notices that the footage has continued past the border and on into Demon World. Then she remembers the partial truce that Demon World's King Enki and her husband had reached about a year ago to allow the Spirit World ruler limited access into Demon World. She is brought out of her thoughts when she hears Lazurama's conversation with his mirror. Dhumorna stops the DVD and turns to look toward the door that her husband stormed out of, 'Oh dear.. He's probably already in his throne room.. I can't go in there..' She moves to stand at the door that was left open in Enma's haste to leave. Even though she is King Enma's wife, it is still considered improper for her to enter his throne room without being invited. 'But if he gives that death order and seals it he won't be able to rescend it.. Oh, Enma, why didn't you watch the whole thing, you rash man.' She turns to pace and think, but then she stops, 'Maybe I can't do anything, but I think I know someone who can.' Dhumorna hurries to her intercom quickly.


Dhumorna-
Durga, dear, will you come to see me, please. Quickly!


* The empress then moves back to the surveillance area to reset the footage to show her daughter as soon as she arrives.

I've looked into different websites concerning Japanese Mythology and have become somewhat confused on who is who, lol. So I'm taking a little liberty here in using some of these names. If you want, you can google them. Try not to stone me for taking my liberties, please.
