Scene 42 ------------------------------------------- King Enki's Castle

* The imp, Sagoki, lands in one of the open windows of the castle. When he sees that the room is the King's study he continues on in. He flies over to the huge door and lands on the floor. When Sagoki squeezes his head underneath it carefully he looks up and down the great hallway. The imp is surprised to find no guards or servants anywhere to be seen. With some effort Sagoki squeezes out from under the door, brushes himself off, then flies cautiously down the hall. Carefully keeping his energy masked, the imp searches through the castle, then ascends the great spiral staircase that leads up to the private chambers. He finally follows some voices and finds servants packing stuff away in the former king's library. Sagoki quickly hides behind a shield decoration and listens as the servants lament quietly to each other over the recent deaths of their King and Queen.


Maid-
(Quietly) .. will be such a sad funeral..

ManServant- (Quietly) True.. But we must remember that King Enki and Queen Kokou were great rulers, Sandu

Sandu- (Quietly) Hai, that they were.. I shudder to think who would have ordered such an assassination, Tensui.

Tensui- (Quietly) Only someone who wished to force the Tournament to take place sooner.


* The head butler looks at the two servants as he enters.


Tatsume-
I know it is difficult to deal with, but we have been advised not to speak of their deaths even here.. We must not let anyone outside of this castle know what has happened.. Please, continue the packing quietly.


* When Sagoki spots the head butler coming to take down the shield he quickly uses his power of invisibility so he can slip past the three servants and out the open window across the room. He pauses to glance back toward the castle, then giggles, and streaks back toward Gandera.
