Thanks

Dalsmy: (realizing this. To the queen) It’s too late for that. You have to say everything now.
Neenah: (scared) But, my King…
Dalsmy: (sad) I am sorry, but you have to. I order you to.
Neenah: Okay, my King. Rogge, the evil priest made me drink out of a bottle containing the disease. (the murmurs among the crowd continues, and become louder, as they are all surprised).
Dalsmy: (surprised) Rogge, the evil priest? Why did he make you drink it?
Neenah: (scared) He wanted me to be a worthy test of the effectiveness of the disease.
Dalsmy: (confused) A worthy test of the effectiveness of the disease? Why did you drink it in the first place? Did you force you to?
Neenah: No, he made me to, because he has something against me.
O O O O O
(flashback)
(Neenah and Rogge can be seen meeting secretly)
Neenah: (angrily) How can you tell me to drink something I know nothing about? You still have the gut to tell me that it contains a disease, and you want to test the effectiveness of the disease. With me, the queen of whole Lailand?
Rogge: (smiles wickedly) I am not making request of you. I am commanding you.
Neenah: (surprised) Commanding me? For what?
Rogge: If you refuse to do as I say, I will tell the King about the birth of the princess I helped you with.
Neenah: (shocked and scared) But you swore to me that you will always keep my secret. How dare you threaten me with that kind of thing?
Rogge: I helped you back then without demanding anything from you. It is time you help me too, or I reveal your secret to the King.
Neenah: (scared) Do you promise never to reveal the secret, if I drink it?
Rogge: I promise.
Neenah: (totally scared) Bring it then.
O O O O O
(back)
(everyone is surprised and shouts in amazement)
Dalsmy: (shocked) What was his involvement in the birth of Fessy, my Princess?
Neenah: (scared, as she begins to sob) My King, it isn’t my fault. It is the rule of Lailand that the queen of the land must give birth to both male and female child. I first gave birth to Memex, everything was alright. I was expecting a female child as the second born, but I still gave birth to Tikahay. I became scared but still a bit relaxed that I will still give birth to a female child. Then my third child is a male too. I then visited Rogge to help me with the problem. He made it known to me that there can’t be a female child between the King and I. This scared me knowing that if I fail to bear a female child, I will be replaced as the queen, and the King will get another wife. I don’t want this to happen, so I asked for his help.
O O O O O
(flashback)
(Neenah and Rogge)
Neenah: (scared) Please, help me. I have to give birth to a princess. I don’t want to be replaced as the queen.
Rogge: There is a way, but it requires the use of dark energy.
Neenah: Please, do it. Use anything to make sure I give birth to a female child. Please, help me.
Rogge: (shocked) Do you know what you are asking of? Dark energy is banned from Lailand. Dark energy has never been used in Lailand before. It may have implications. I don’t think it is the right thing for you to do.
Neenah: (pitifully) Please, do it for me. I can’t bear the pain of being replaced as the queen of Lailand. I can’t bear the shame too. You have to help me.
Rogge: Since you are so adamant about this, I will get back to you in three days. I will see what I can do.
O O O O O
(back)

Tackryan: (happy) Then it is resolved. The Split Eye had a vision that Malisteh will take over Lailand. This must be it.
Fise: Prepare your army. Very soon the disease will struck the whole of Lailand. Not long after, the Apple of Jayanah will be retrieved. Once these happen, you should strike Lailand immediately.
Tackryan: We will. (to Heoeh) Heoeh, I hope you are listening to this. Prepare the army. You and Fise, the war priest will lead the attack on Lailand once it is time. We are about to accomplish our aim.
Heoeh: Yes, my King!

* * * * *
(The Sage’s execution day)
(The Sage is being taken to the execution ground to be hanged. Lailand citizens don’t know his real offense but there are so many gossips, as they form a crowd at the ground. They are all surprised at what is happening. They all know that The Sage dying will be a calamity to Lailand. But since the King ordered his death himself, nobody dares question him).
Man 1: (on the execution ground, as they are still waiting for the The Sage to be brought) I heard that The Sage plotted treason against the King. (everyone is surprised).
Man 2: That’s contrary to what I heard. I heard that he is the sacrifice we must make to overcome the dark night. They said that his existence is what is blocking the taviour’s spirit from being activated.
(the gossips go on as the Sage is being brought to the execution ground. He is being taken up to the stage to be hanged).
(AgePie can be seen sneaking up to the Queen’s quarters. He hid well from the guards and is able to make it to the Queen’s room. The Queen and his maids are surprised as they see him. The maids want to raise an alarm, but the Queen stops them).
Neenah: (surprised) AgePie, why are you here?
AgePie: You should know why I am here. I don’t believe that the Sage did what he is being accused of. I think he is just trying to protect you from something. Why can’t you save him from dying? He has been taken to the execution ground. Please, you have to help him.
Neenah: (scared) I don’t know what to do. I am really confused. I feel ashamed.
AgePie: I know The Sage is ready to die trying to protect you from something. But can’t you protect him from death with your shame? (the maids are angry at this and want to insult him, but the Queen stops them and orders that they stay outside).
Neenah: You are right. I shouldn’t let him die for me. I have to see the King.
AgePie: (happy) Please, be quick about it before the Sage is executed.
Neenah: Okay!
(She quickly puts on a more decent cloth, and stumbles out of the room together with AgePie for the palace room. The King is not in the palace room. Scared, AgePie quickly asks the guard there where the King is).
AgePie: (scared. To the guard) Where is the King?
Guard: He went to the execution ground to watch The Sage being executed.
AgePie: (more scared) Ah! (to the Queen) Please, we have to go there.
Neenah: (scared) The whole of Lailand will be there. I don’t think I will be able to talk in their presence.
AgePie: You have to. Please, don’t let them kill The Sage. I beg of you.
Neenah: (totally scared) What you are asking of me is too hard. You don’t know what is at stake. There are secrets that I am to ashamed to share with the King talkless of sharing them with the whole of citizens of Lailand.
AgePie: No matter what, you have to save The Sage’s life. If you let the Sage die for you, it won’t in any bit help you. It will only add to your offences. Saving his life can even be a way to atone for them.
Neenah: Saving his life won’t be enough to atone for my sins.
AgePie: Then, you have to start with saving him. Please, you have to do this.
Neenah: (scared but convinced. To the guard) Ready the best of the palace horse, I have to go the execution ground immediately.
Guard: Yes, your highness!
(The horse is being prepared for her. She takes the horse, while AgePie takes another horse, and they both head for the execution ground)
(Back on the execution ground)
(The King can be seen sitting down under a tent, looking at The Sage with contempt. His order is being required to start the execution).
Remton: (sad. To the King) We are awaiting your order.
Dalsmy: (angrily) Kill him.
Remton: Okay, My King. (She gives the death signal to the executioner)
(As the executioner is about to press the execution key, the Queen on her horse runs up to scene shouting “Stop”)
Neenah: (sweating profusely) Stop! Stop!! Stop!!! (The executioner is surprised but quickly stops as he sees the Queen running up to the scene. The Sage closes his eyes and opens them in surprise, and in a bit of joy. The whole of Lailand is surprised as to what could be the reason the Queen is asking for the halt of the execution. The King is angry and surprised at this development. Neenah runs up to meet the King)
Dalsmy: (surprised) What are you doing? (faintly)
Neenah: (breathing heavily) I am ready to confess.
Dalsmy: (shocked) Confess to what?
Neenah: It was my fault. The Sage didn’t do what he was accused of. We weren’t committing adultery. (the citizens of Lailand murmur in amazement, as they are just realizing the main reason The Sage is to be executed).
Dalsmy: (shocked) What do you mean? Then what is both of you doing inside an inn room every night?
Neenah: (she rolls up her sleeves to show her hand. There are disgusting rashes that are decaying on the hand) We used to meet because of this. (everyone is surprised and irritated as they see the rashes on her hand).i
Dalsmy: (shocked and irritated) What is this?
Neenah: According to the Sage, this is Mylon disease. It is a rare disease that has no cure. The Sage and I meet every night, so he could examine the rashes and try to find the cure. He used to apply different possible cure to it every night but none works. I told him to make it a secret as I am scared to show you this kind of thing, hoping he will be able to cure it.
Dalsmy: (still surprised) So this is the reason why you always refuse to meet with me every night?
Neenah: Yes, my King.
Dalsmy: (sad) I thought you refuse to meet me because of your affair with The Sage. You should have told me this instead of keeping it a secret. How did you contact the disease?
Neenah: (scared) That’s the main reason I wanted to keep this a secret. Please, let’s go back to the palace, and I will explain everything to you. (there is disagreement murmurs from the crowd watching in amazement).
Ornah: (interrupts. To the King) My king, I don’t think that’s possible now. I warned you against this. If you try to leave now, the people will hate you for it, and will no longer respect you. They’ve heard part of the story, you can’t deny them the rest of it.

* * * * *
(Calderie and the Agents of Mansard storm Nipen and Habbath’s house. But the house is empty. Calderie, angrily tries to use his magic to find them but to no avail).
Vanos: (surprised) Why is it that we can’t find them?
Calderie: (angry) The Sage must be using a powerful spell to hide them somewhere.
White: (still surprised) I don’t think you can’t break through The Sage’s spell.
Calderie: No matter how much power I have than the Sage, there are still some spells of his that I can’t break. The Sage is an ancestral title of Lailand which entails some abilities like these. That’s why I can’t break out of Elderworld myself if The Sage is able to trap me.
Vanos: (so angry) So, what do we do? They can’t go scotfree. Their father tricked you once and helped The Sage in trapping your spirit. We’ve suffered since then as we can’t do anything without you. We finally got you, and the sons too got you and wanted to trap you. You were only lucky, or else it would have been a different story. We can’t let them go scotfree. We must kill them.
Calderie: Don’t worry. Once The Sage is dead, the spell will be broken, and we will be able to find them. They will surely die with The Sage.
Vanos: (calms down) That’s good to hear then. We will be waiting for that time. With the kind of torture I got from them, especially that Habbath, the death I am going to give them will be so bad.
Calderie: (feels something) I am being summoned by someone powerful. I have to go. I will meet you at our hideout.
(He disappears from them, and appears in a room. He sees Rogge)
Rogge: (smiles) Calderie, the Leader of Mansard, you heard my call and come here.
Calderie: (surprised) Rogge, the evil priest, why are you here in Lailand?
Rogge: With your powers, you should know why I am here.
Calderie: You must be here on behalf of the dark lady. What does she want from me?
Rogge: (chuckles) We need you to cast the Nudiuh Spell.
Calderie: (shocked) Nudiuh Spell? Which disease are you transporting?
Rogge: Mylon disease. (brings out a bottle containing water that is dark in colour, and hands it over to Calderie). The disease has no cure in real world, so it can’t be cured. I brought it from the Elderworld.
Calderie: (shocked) From the Elderworld? Is the portal opened?
Rogge: (smiles) No. Malisteh doesn’t have the Apple of Jayanah yet. But she is on the verge of getting it.
Calderie: (still surprised) Then how are you able to go to the Elderworld and come back. You aren’t a god, so Malisteh doesn’t have the ability to bring you back to life even if you die.
Rogge: (smiles) Malisteh’s plans are quite beyond that.
Calderie: (anxious) What did she do?
Rogge: Malisteh struck a deal with Zachaeus of Exelung who in turn struck a deal with Yuriyu, the god of death.
Calderie: (anxious) What did they all get from the deals?
Rogge: This is top secret. I don’t think I am supposed to be sharing them with you.
Calderie: Remember you need my help to cast the Nudiuh spell.
Rogge: (sighs) Okay. Malisteh wanted the ability to be able to return dead people back to life, while Zachaeus wanted to learn the Procedure of the Dys Key Terminal from her.
O O O O O
(flashback)
Zachaeus: Yes, My king! The taviour. I will plan an invalid taviour spirit for the Sage to discover. This will fool the Sage thinking the taviour’s spirit is awaken and he will try to get the Procedure of the Dys Key Terminal from me.
Derlond: I am sorry, but why would he?
Zachaeus: Because without the procedure, Lailand will never be able to know the taviour. Only Malisteh, the dark lady knows the procedure. I once gave Malisteh a catching gift in order to learn it from her, which implies that only Malisteh and I know the procedure.
Heoeh: (nervous) What is the catching gift you gave her?
Zachaeus: (chuckles) That, I can’t reveal…
O O O O O
(back)
Rogge: Malisteh needed the ability in order to get the Apple of Jayanah.
Calderie: (surprised) So, what did Zachaeus offer the God of death?
Rogge: I don’t know. All I know is that Zachaeus had offered a lot for his powers. He even ate the evil seed despite knowing the consequences.
Calderie: (surprised) I used to wonder why Zachaeus is more powerful than the Sage, so it is because he ate the evil seed. Now I understand.
Rogge: I told you what you wanted to know, will you do what I asked of you?
Calderie: (chuckles) Who am I not to do the wish of the dark lady? What is the medium you want to pass the Mylon disease with?
Rogge: Lailand’s water system.
Calderie: (shaking head in affirmation) So, since everyone uses water, everyone will surely contact the disease. But I know that it’s death is slow, so what exactly is your plan?
Rogge: Malisteh got all that covered. Just do as I asked.
Calderie: (looking at the bottle containing the Mylon disease) I will do it.
* * * * *
(Fise can be seen making a visit to Exelung’s palace. All the court members are present)
Tackryan: (surprised) Fise, the war priest, it’s quite a surprise that we see you in our land. Hope nothing is wrong.
Fise: I have an urgent request from the dark lady. (everyone is surprised)
Zachaeus: (anxious) What’s the request?
Fise: The dark lady has begin plans to take over Lailand. She needs your help.
Tackryan: (surprised) What help could be dark lady need from us? We will be willing to help.
Fise: She needs you to declare war against Lailand. (everyone is shocked and scared at this) She wants you to overtake Lailand for her. She needs your army.
Tackryan: (shocked) We should attack Lailand. (smiles) We dare not do that. Lailand is the centre of the world. It is larger than all other lands in the world combined. We don’t have the ability to attack Lailand and win.
Fise: (smiles) Don’t be scared. Very soon, the whole of Lailand, including their army will be down to an uncurable disease. We only need you to finish the job.
Tackryan: (convinced but still scared) Even despite that, we all know that Lailand can never fall if they still have the Apple of Jayanah. We can’t attack them if they still have it in their premises. We will surely fail if we do so.
Fise: Malisteh got that covered. She will soon have the Apple of Jayanah taken from Lailand.

To be continued on Monday Or Tuesday

EPISODE EIGHT (MYLON DISEASE)
(Immediately Zachaeus and Calderie are being saved by the Agents of Mansard, they try to find Habbath, but he is nowhere to be find. After their effort to find him is futile, they find a place to stay for both of them to rest until the Hana poison is out of their system.
When both of them become alright, Calderie orders that they storm the Astraland angrily and destroy the Dys trees. So, all of them including Zachaeus head towards Astraland.
On getting to Astraland, they easily locate the Dys trees. The Dys trees are clustered together, and all are yellow in colour. Zachaeus places the four plates of the Procedure beside the trees and begin to cast some spells. After some minutes, the trees begin to catch fire and burn down completely in few minutes.
After burning down, the trees changed magically to bones on the floor. Immediately this happens, the Agents of Mansard shouts out in happiness, and begin to celebrate. The extent of their happiness surprises Zachaeus).
Zachaeus: (to Calderie) Why did the trees change to bones?
Calderie: Those are the remains of the Protector of the Realm that casted the Mansards out with the spirit of the taviour.
Zachaeus: (still surprised) Why are you people this happy? Don’t you know that despite destroying the means of discovering the taviour spirit upon activation, the taviour spirit will still be activated and you still have to kill the person or you go to extinction?
Calderie: (looks at him somehow) Zachaeus, I am sorry for tricking and misleading you like this. You wouldn’t have helped me if I had told you the truth.
Zachaeus: (curious and anxious) What are you talking about?
Calderie: Destroying the Dys trees implies that the taviour spirit will never be activated. The Dys trees are the basis of activation of the taviour spirit. The spirit will have no base of activation since the trees have been destroyed. I am sorry for telling you the truth now.
Zachaeus: (so shocked) You can’t be serious.
Calderie: I am serious. We are free now. We are free to stay in land without having to hide again. (so happy).
Zachaeus: (feeling betrayed) You betrayed me. I need the taviour to conquer Lailand. (feeling so hurt).
Calderie: (confused) Are you sure using taviour to conquer Lailand is your only motive? Anyway, don’t bother about that. I saw visions. I saw that Lailand will be demolished soon. Malisteh is on the verge of victory. Everything that happened since the beginning of dark night till now, has been exactly as she planned. We’ve all been working according to her plans.
Zachaeus: (feeling relieved) I will be hoping that’s true.
Calderie: (smiles) I don’t see false visions. You should know that.
* * * * *
(Steph and the old man can be seen discussing)
Steph: (shocked) What do you mean the Dys trees have been destroyed? That means the taviour’s spirit won’t be activated.
Old Man: (scared) That’s what I see. Trouble looms in Lailand. Lailand will soon be demolished. The taviour won’t be there to help.
Steph: (angry) This must be the work of the Mansards. I told you to let me interfere into the affairs of Lailand. I could have been of help to prevent the destroying of the Dys trees.
Old Man: I don’t regret not letting you show yourself to Lailand. It is dangerous for you, and it still is. You can’t show yourself until the spirit is activated.
Steph: (scared) And now that the Dys trees have been destroyed, what will we do?
Old Man: (confused) I don’t know.
* * * * *
(Snuke, Rogge, and Fise are seen inside a cave. Malisteh begins to talk to them).
Malisteh: Snuke, the evil witch.
Snuke: Yes, my lady.
Malisteh: Rogge, the evil priest.
Rogge: Yes, my lady.
Malisteh: Fise, the war priest.
Fise: Yes, my lady.
Malisteh: It is time for you to start your main missions. Go and conquer Lailand for me. I will be waiting.
The three: Yes, my lady!
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to the palace of Exelung. Azinah and Zachaeus are among the court members present. The King is also present.)
Derlond: (seems angry) You called a meeting, and you are here with the Split Eye. Hope it is not that the split eye is here again with her false visions.
Zachaeus: (angry) What sort of rubbish is that? The Split Eye doesn’t see false visions. Just that Lailand were always able to avert their woes. But they can’t avert this, because it involves Malisteh, the dark lady herself.
Tackryan: (feeling anxious) So, what do you have for us?
Azinah: I see Malisteh, the dark lady happy over the conquering of Lailand. (the whole court is happy).
Etyly: (happy) That means Lailand will be demolished.
Azinah: Yes.
Tackryan: That’s good news for us. If Malisteh is able to conquer Lailand, that implies that gods will be living in the land. We won’t have to compete with them for human’s wants, we compete with Lailand for anymore.
Heoeh: It’s really good news, if it can come to pass.
Zachaeus: It will surely come to pass. Lailand will have no more have taviour. Calderie, the Leader of Mansard made sure of that.
Tackryan: We should be waiting for the moment then.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to the palace of Lailand).
Dalsmy: (angrily) The Sage, do you want to undergo trial for the allegations against you? Or do you admit to them?
The Sage: (looks at Neenah. Neenah gives him a look that shows that she is scared, and wants The Sage’s mercies) No need for trial, I admit. (the whole court is surprised that the Sage admits to committing adultery with the queen.)
Vale: (shocked) I can’t believe this. The Sage is committing adultery with the queen. The citizens of the land can’t hear of this. This is so unbelievable. (Neenah faces down as she is so ashamed of herself).
Staline: (surprised too) Committing adultery with the royal line, especially the queen is an offense punishable by death. I hope the King passes a rightful judgement.
Remton: My king, we all know that the Sage’s offense is really punishable by death, but we should remember that we really need the Sage in this time of trouble. We really need him in this time of dark night. We possibly can’t loose him now.
Vale: (angrily) What rubbish are you saying? I am sure The Sage purposely did this because he knows we may not be able to punish him. If he goes scotfree, important people will have the guts to be performing worse actions, knowing that we won’t able to punish them. We have to make example of the Sage, so that this king of thing won’t repeat itself.
Dalsmy: (to Ornah) Ornah, despite your evil characters, I know you have wisdom. What can you say to this matter?
Ornah: (scared) My King, can I really talk?
Dalsmy: You are permitted.
Ornah: I propose we keep this issue within the court. No matter your judgement, we should make sure the Sage’s offense doesn’t leak out. We would be made jest of, if the citizens of Lailand get to hear of this.
Dalsmy: The queen is sentenced to prison, while The Sage is sentenced to death.
All: The royal orders are received!!! (the guards take The Sage away).

I'll drop part of episode 8 now, but the continuation will be on Monday or Tuesday...

Habbath: Shut up. (he pours the liquid on Vanos) I will pour the whole bowl on you if you do stop him from telling me again.
Vanos: (totally scared as he experiences much pain) I won’t interfere again.
Habbath: We will be holding you captive till I get your leader. If you give me wrong information, you will suffer more.
White: (scared) I can’t deceive you.
Habbath: So, where is your leader?
White: I can’t lie to you. We really don’t know where he is, but he is with Zachaeus of Exelung. They are planning something we don’t know about.
Habbath: (looks at Tevah) I can judge from your appearance and the description I read from the Chronicles of Xphem that you are the Mansard Messenger. Definitely, you must have the Mansard bird. Can I have it?
Tevah: (in pain) I have to summon the bird.
Habbath: Then, do.
Tevah: You have to untie me, so I can summon it.
Habbath: Do you think I am a fool? (hisses as he tries to fill the small bowl with him with Amy liquid)
Tevah: (scared) I will summon it. (within few seconds, the Mansard flies to his hand. Habbath takes the bird. He writes a message in a scroll, ties the scroll unto the bird and flies it away)
Habbath: (smiles) You’ve been really helpful.
* * * * *
(Zachaeus and Calderie are already on their way to Astraland. On the way, the Mansard bird flies to Calderie’s hand. He removes the message and reads it. After reading, he writes another message, ties it to the bird, and flies the bird away)
Zachaeus: What was in the message?
Calderie: My agents were reporting to me that they’ve completed a mission I sent them to do, and that they need to see me for something that’s very important.
Zachaeus: (curious) What’s it?
Calderie: I don’t know yet. That’s why I sent them where we are going, so they can catch up with us.
Zachaeus: It seems suspicious. You shouldn’t have told them anything until we are back.
Calderie: (smiles) These are my agents. What could have been suspicious about this?
Zachaeus: What if this is one of the Sage’s trick?
Calderie: That was really the Mansard bird, the Sage can’t have it. You seem to be too scared of The Sage. I used to believe you ate the evil seed, which means you must be powerful than The Sage. But it seems that’s not so.
Zachaeus: I am more powerful than him, but he is full of wits and we have to be careful of him. He is quite dangerous.
Calderie: I told you I am not scared of the Sage at all.
Zachaeus: Though I think you should be. Anyway, let’s continue our journey.
(After some hours, they got to a particular river. They noticed that as they are about to cross the river with magic, they aren’t able to)
Calderie: (surprised) Why is it that our magic can’t be used to cross the river?
Zachaeus: I think we just have to cross normally. (A man comes from the forest nearing the river).
Man: Do you want to cross the river?
Calderie: Yeah. And who are you?
Man: You don’t need to know. I can see from afar that you are trying to cross the river with magic
Zachaeus: Yeah. Why can’t we use our magic to cross it?
Man: (smiles) This is the River of Bleu. Magic can’t be used to cross it. You have to cross it normally.
Calderie: Thanks. (he heads towards the boat by the side of the river before he is being stopped by the man).
Man: (stops him) What are you trying to do?
Calderie: Aren’t you the one that just said we can cross the river normally? That’s what I am doing.
Man: (smiles) If you try to cross the river now, your boat will surely capsize.
Calderie: (surprised) Then how do we cross the river?
Man: You have to drink out of the water inside the river before the Goddess of Bleu can allow you to pass.
Zachaeus: I am having bad feelings about having to drink a particular water before we can cross the river.
Man: You can cross without drinking from the river and see what will happen.
Calderie: Let’s drink it and pass. We are running out of time. (he uses his hand to take a sip of the water and drink. Zachaeus does the same).
Zachaeus: (making a mouth reaction as if the water is bitter) The taste seems familiar.
Calderie: (smiles) You and your strange observations.
(They get on the boat and take it to cross the river. As the man said, nothing happens to them as they are able to cross to the other side easily. Immediately they got to the other side of the river, they both begin to feel so weak)
Calderie: (feeling so weak) I am feeling so weak, what’s wrong?
Zachaeus: (feeling weak too, as he falls down) I thought it is only me. I am feeling so weak too. (Habbath shows up immediately smiling).
Habbath: (smiling) Is it working already?
Calderie: (surprised as he sees Habbath) You should be dead. How come you are here?
Habbath: You have powers but you can’t think. I knew you would be coming for me. Do you think I will just sit and be waiting for you to come and kill me?
Calderie: What did you do? How did you escape my agents? (still surprised).
Habbath: You should be concerned about yourself .
Zachaeus: (in much pain) What’s happening to us?
Habbath: Exactly what the Sage did to you, the Hana’s poison.
Zachaeus: (shocked) Hana’s poison again? How did you poison us this time?
Habbath: I held the agents of Mansard sent to kill me captive. I tortured them until I was given the Mansard bird. I used it to ask for your location.
Calderie: (shocked) So, it was you, not Tevah.
Habbath: Yeah, it was I. Once I know your location, I know the routes immediately, because I have read about Astraland once in a particular scripture. I used the River of Bleu to overtake you.
Zachaeus: (surprised) How?
Habbath: It was written that Goddess of Bleu will never allow magic to be used to cross the river. But you can cross the river normally without having to drink the river water. I bribed the man you saw there to lie to you, that you must drink the from the river.
Calderie: Did the water have Hana’s poison?
Habbath: No. I might have contaminated the whole river with enough Hana’s poison.
Calderie: (shocked) You contaminated the whole river with Hana’s poison because of us.
Habbath: (jokingly) I can contaminate the whole world if I have to get you. I can’t let you be roaming around Lailand as you want. On a more serious note, the Hana’s poison is not poisonous to powerless people, and using magic is what Goddess of Bleu is against. So, she can’t punish me for contaminating the river, since it won’t affect people without powers.
Calderie: (scared) So what do you want to do with us?
Habbath: The Sage is on his way here. He will trap your spirit like he did before. As for Zachaeus of Exelung, I don’t know yet what he will do with you.
Calderie: (scared) I was tricked once again. If I get the chance to be free, I advise you to kill yourself before I get to you. I will give you an unbearable punishment.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to Nipen and Habbath’s house. The rest of the agents of Mansard can be seen marching to the place. They are suspicious that something must be wrong because the three sent there are yet to return. Nipen is not around, as he has gone to fetch The Sage for Habbath.
On getting inside, they find their men being tied to poles. They are surprised and quickly untie them. They notice the bowl of Amy Liquid and realize how they were being held captive).
Vanos: (as he is being untied from the pole) Tevah, get the Mansard bird to find us our Leader. He is in danger.
Tevah: Yeah. (he quickly sends his bird to find the location of Calderie)
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to The Sage’s abode. The Sage, AgePie, and Nipen can be seen inside the room)
The Sage: (shocked) Habbath has the leader of Mansard, Calderie. How was he able to do it?
Nipen: (anxious) That’s should not be the main thing now. Let’s go there, and trap his spirit once and for all. After that, we can talk about all other things.
The Sage: (getting some potions, and putting them inside his bag) I have made all the potions as I promised. Now, let’s go and get it done.
(As the three of them step outside, so many palace guards surround them).
Guard: The Sage, you are under arrest by the order of the King of Lailand. (the three are surprised at this).
The Sage: (shocked) Under arrest by the order of the King, what is my offense?
Guard: You are arrested under the allegations that you are performing adultery with the queen of Lailand, Queen Neenah.
The Sage: (shocked) It is not what the King thinks. Someone must have told the King wrong things. You can arrest me later, but I have important things to attend to, right now.
Guard: (showing him the royal staff) Refusing to follow us means treason. The King personally gave us the royal staff ordering you to follow us at once.
Nipen: (to the guard) I will bring him personally after we are through with what we want to do, but you have to let us go. Or better still, you can even follow us.
Guard: Should I follow your order, or the order of the King? The King wants him arrested right now.
Nipen: I can’t let you take him now. (he wants to remove his sword but The Sage stops him).
The Sage: (as he stops him) Going against a royal order being sent with a royal staff is an unforgiveable treason, you will surely be executed no matter the excuse. We have to follow them, and possibly plead with the King to allow me to go.
Nipen: (sad) But we have to be fast with this.
* * * * *
(Back to where Habbath is holding both Calderie and Zachaeus. He is so disappointed that The Sage doesn’t appear since. Not long after, he sees from afar the Agents of Mansard running towards the place. He knows he can’t take them heads on, and he can’t escape with Calderie and Zachaeus, so he runs away immediately as far as he can).

I'll post the remaining part of episode 7 now, but you might have to wait a few days (1 or 2) before i start posting episode 8...thanks

* * * * *
(In the morning. The scene is brought to the Sage’s abode.)
Nipen: (he enters meeting the Sage inside) The Sage, my brother said I should ask you that if we are able to hold Calderie captive, can you trap his spirit again like you did before?
The Sage: (chuckles) You and your brothers can be so funny. How will you be able hold someone as powerful as Calderie captive?
Nipen: Can you do it or not?
The Sage: If you can make him unconscious, I can do it. I just need some ingredients to make some powerful potions to use.
Nipen: Get everything ready then. We will send message to you, immediately we have him. Make sure you come immediately you receive our message.
The Sage: I will be waiting patiently for you to perform your wonders then.
Nipen: Okay, then. (he leaves the place).
AgePie: (to The Sage) Do you think they really can hold Calderie captive?
The Sage: They have done amazing things. I don’t really believe they can do it, but I just hope. You will have to get the ingredients we will use from the market.
AgePie: Okay, sir.
* * * * *
(Vanos, Tevah and White arrives Nipen and Habbath’s house. They meet the doors open, and they enter. They get inside the room and see Habbath reading some scriptures. Habbath looks at them, but is not a bit surprised as he continues reading his scriptures).
Vanos: Habbath, or what are you being called? You’ve been warned to leave the land, but you are quite stubborn. Now it’s time for you to die.
Habbath: I knew you would say that. (still reading his scriptures).
Tevah: (angry) He is talking to you, and you aren’t even scared. Don’t you know we are the Agents of Mansard?
Habbath: I know. And I know you won’t exist if the taviour comes. With what happened that day, I know you can’t risk me being the taviour. So, I know you have to kill me.
Vanos: Yeah, we have to kill you, and we have come to do that.
Habbath: I have been expecting to see you. I don’t know why it took you so long to come.
Vanos: (smiles) So, you’ve been expecting us to come and kill you.
Habbath. No, I’ve been expecting you to fall into my trap. I’m just a bit disappointed that your leader isn’t here with you.
Vanos: (surprised) Into your trap? What trap can you possibly make for us? (As he is about to direct his hands to magically fire Habbath, Nipen comes from behind and spray some potions on the three of them). Ah! Amy Liquid! (the three of them screams out in pain as their bodies begin to hurt).
Tevah: (in pain and surprised) How are you able to know that Amy Liquid is poisonous to us?
Habbath: (chuckles) In the Old Chronicles of Xphem, it was quoted that Amy Liquid is poisonous to the Agents of Mansard, but not to their leader. (showing them the scripture he is holding). I am just sad that your leader isn’t here with you, I have something else for him too. But I will catch him, and you are going to help me. (smiles)
Vanos: (the three are in the floor, groaning in pain) We will never help you catch our leader even it means you will kill us.
Habbath: (smiles) I won’t kill you, and you will help me. (Nipen ties the three of them to three different poles inside the room).
Nipen: Let’s get started. We don’t have much time.
Habbath: Yeah. (Nipen goes in and brings out a large bowl containing a whole lot of liquid).
Tevah: (in pain) What’s inside the bowl?
Habbath: You should know. The bowl is full of diluted Amy liquid. I am going to be feeding it into your mouth like food. It won’t kill you, but you will be feeling unbearable pain. And once the liquid is still in your system, your powers can’t work.
Vanos: (scared and surprised) Are you trying to torture us?
Habbath: Is it torture? No, I don’t think so. Just to scare you until you give me the location of your leader.
Vanos: (angrily) You want to torture Agents of Mansard. You should know you will surely regret this, as other agents and our leader will come for you.
Habbath: It seems you are the most stubborn. (he uses a small bowl to take a little from the Amy liquid and forcefully pours it down Vanos’ throat. Vanos screams out in pain).
Vanos: (screams out in much pain) Ahhhhhh! Stop this, please.
Habbath: I can’t cheat you. Let me feed others too. (he pours a little down Tevah’s and White’s mouth too. They all scream out in much pain as they can’t really bear the pain).
Tevah: (in pain) Please, stop.
Habbath: (to Nipen) I thought I have taught you how to make the Amy liquid.
Nipen: Yeah.
Habbath: Go and start preparing another one to fill another bowl. Once they’ve finished drinking this bowl, they will start with that too.
Vanos: (scared, and in much) What? Finish this large bowl on the floor. You still want to make another one. Why not just kill us instead?
Habbath: No. I can’t kill you. Just want to scare you until you tell me the location.
Nipen: I am going to get it done. (he leaves the room).
Habbath: Let’s continue. (he fills the small bowl with him again and is about to pour it into White’s mouth, but he screams out)
White: (scared) Please stop. I will tell you.
Vanos: (angry) Don’t tell him anything.

* * * * *
(The King can be seen meeting with Callow)
Callow: This matter is getting out of hand. I was surprised when I heard about what happened. What will you do?
Dalsmy: This is your fault. You didn’t handle the task I gave you well.
Callow: I am sorry, my King. It is because they are quite secretive. I will make I do something now.
Dalsmy: No problem. I will be waiting to hear from you soon.
* * * * *
(The agents of Mansard can be seen in their hideout).
Vanos: Leader, what do we do about this man issue?
Tevah: The Sage said he is a wyfo star which means he can’t be of any issue to us.
Calderie: I have this feeling that the Sage is just trying to protect him. We can’t risk him being the taviour. Also, he isn’t Mity son, so it’s quite possible that he is the King’s son.
Vanos: (sighs) So what do we do?
Calderie: We can’t let him live. We have to kill him. Both of you should go with White and eliminate him.
Vanos: Okay, leader.
* * * * *
(Zachaeus and Calderie meeting)
Zachaeus: (scared) Do you really have to do this? We have to know when it will be activated too.
Calderie: No. If anybody knows when the spirit will be activated, they will surely protect the person. I have to make sure nobody knows except me and my agents. Immediately it is activated, we will get the withdrawal feelings. I will know, track the person down and kill him or her for good.
Zachaeus: But you know I need the taviour to fight against Lailand.
Calderie: And you must know that once the taviour is activated, we Mansards only have thirteen days to live on this land before we flee or else, we go into extinction. We can’t live in hiding anymore. I must kill him or her within the thirteen days we have.
Zachaeus: (brings out a copy of the Procedure of the Dys Key Terminal) This is the Procedure. We have to make the journey to Astraland to use it to destroy the Dys Trees. Once we’ve done that, all the procedures including those with The Sage will be useless, and nobody will be able to find out when the taviour spirit is activated.
Calderie: (collecting the four plates of the Procedure) You will be the one to do it for me. You know I can’t do it being a Mansard.
Zachaeus: (chuckles) Once I do this, I won’t be indebted to you again.
Calderie: Sure.
Zachaeus: Then we journey tomorrow morning. I have to go and make some preparations for the journey.
Calderie: No problem, till tomorrow then.
* * * * *
(In the middle of the night, the queen, Neenah can be seen trying to sneak out of her room. She is covering all over her body with hideous clothes, so she won’t be recognized. As she steps out, the King is being shown, noticing her secretly from behind. He is also in hideous clothes as he sneaks behind her. He follows her as she leaves the palace and heads towards an inn.
The queen enters an inn. The King follows her behind secretly. As he enters, he sees her entering a room. He takes his seat at the drinking space in the inn. Few minutes later, The Sage arrives the inn and heads straight to the room Neenah is. The inn attendant spots Dalsmy, but can’t recognize he is the King).
Attendant: (to Dalsmy) What do you want?
Dalsmy: (clears his throat) I need a drink. Just give me one of your best drinks.
Attendant: Okay. (He goes and comes back with a bottle of drink. He pours some into the cup and serves Dalsmy). Hope you have money to pay.
Dalsmy: (he smiles as he brings out much money and hands it over to the attendant). This is 5 shells of Lailand gold. You can have it.
Attendant: (shocked) This is too much for the drink. The drink doesn’t even cost upto one shell.
Dalsmy: (smiles) You can have it all. I can even give you more if you answer some questions I am about to ask you.
Attendant: (anxious) Please ask me.
Dalsmy: A woman and man entered that room some time ago (pointing to the room). Do you know about them?
Attendant: (laughs out) That’s the Sage and his secret wife. They’ve been coming here for the past few days, and they come here every night like this.
Dalsmy: (shocked. He is angry but tries to keep in his anger) You mean both of them have been meeting each other since.
Attendant: Yeah, every night for the past few days.
Dalsmy: Okay (he angrily pours 5 more shells of Lailand gold on the attendant and leaves the inn).
* * * * *

* * * * *
(The scene is brought to The Sage’s abode. The Sage and AgePie are there)
The Sage: (totally confused) I still can’t understand how agents of Mansard are able to take over my soul. The spell they used requires a lot of powers, and they must have definitely needed my blood. How did they get my blood?
AgePie: (scared) Maybe they didn’t use your blood. You know they are quite powerful. They might have used other means.
The Sage: (chuckles) It’s not possible to make that kind of spell on me without using my blood. They must have gotten it somehow. We really need to be very careful from now on.
AgePie: That’s true.
The Sage: Also, I need to see Lete. The last time I saw him, he mistakenly pinched my skin, and I lost a bit of blood. Maybe it wasn’t a mistake. I have to see him.
AgePie: (scared) Okay, sir. (quickly diverts the topic) Is it true that Habbath is a Wyfo star? I also don’t really believe the story.
The Sage: He really is.
AgePie: (shakes head) Really? That’s amazing. I still don’t know how you find out he is a Wyfo star.
The Sage: (looks at him) Are you doubting me?
AgePie: No, I am not doubting you, I am just having this feeling that you are using the Wyfo story to protect him. If people think he is the taviour, his life will really be in the danger.
The Sage: You are a fool, how will he be the taviour when the taviour’s spirit hasn’t been activated yet?
AgePie: I have seen more suprising things. (Nipen enters the room in haste)
Nipen: (to the Sage) It is true. All the guards testified to it. What do you think really happened?
The Sage: (surprised) You are telling me the King really died but came back to life.
Nipen: Yeah, but the King is trying to deny it saying he didn’t die but was just unconscious.
The Sage: (confused) How could he have come back from the dead? I don’t understand this.
AgePie: Do you think the dark lady is involved in this?
The Sage: (shakes head) I don’t know. Malisteh doesn’t have the ability to bring him back to life, since he is not a god. So I can’t place these things.
Nipen: There’s another thing. The guard I bribed told me something. He said ever since the incident happened, the King always have a particular chain on his neck, even when going to the bathroom to bath.
AgePie: That doesn’t mean anything. It could just be a normal chain.
The Sage: Yeah, it could be, and it could be not. Since we don’t have any other clue, maybe we should start our investigation from there. I will take a good look at the chain next time I see the King.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to Nipen and Habbath’s house)
Nipen: (as he enters the room, meeting Habbath reading a scripture) Habbath.
Habbath: Nipen, you should be resting after everything that happened. You shouldn’t be running around like this.
Nipen: I am fine. I am just grateful to you for being there for me, despite being my younger brother.
Habbath: (jokingly) Maybe I am your protector, not the other way around as you used to say.
Nipen: You are funny. You said you want to tell me something.
Habbath: The man that abducted said something. He said I am not Mity’s son. What does he mean?
Nipen: (smiles) He just wanted to get into your head. You are Mity’s son. You are my brother.
Habbath: (confused) Are you sure?
Nipen: Are you believing an evil wizard over your own brother? I still remember the day our mother gave birth to you. She died the same day. (his voice shakes as he gets emotional).
Habbath: (sad) Please, I am sorry. I won’t bring up something like this up again.
Nipen: (clears his throat) I didn’t have the opportunity to ask The Sage the meaning of Wyfo star. Will you tell me?
Habbath: (chuckles) Wyfo star story used to be a folklore story. A Wyfo star is a star that shows up in the sky like all other stars, once in three years. It comes up in the sixth month of the year. All powerful men pray on the day the star comes up against evils in their respective land. Normally, no child can be born on this day, but any lucky child that is luckily born on this day will be a Wyfo star.
Nipen: (surprised) How come we normal men can’t see the star?
Habbath: It is like all other stars, only the powerful men can figure it out. The day The Sage got taken by Zachaeus, can you remember that Zachaeus was having a special prayer at Arti Temple.
Nipen: (recollecting) Yeah!
Habbath: That day was a Wyfo day.
Nipen: So, being a Wyfo star, how were you able to kill the Snake witch?
Habbath: The snake witch issue is an evil in Lailand. A Wyfo star can kill her.
Nipen: (anxious) Really? That means you can be helping us in all of our issues.
Habbath: (smiles) Being a Wyfo star, the power only has one shot. It can only be used once. I used mine against the snake witch, and I can’t have such power again.
Nipen: Oh, I understand now.
* * * * *

EPISODE SEVEN (WYFO STAR)
(The palace room is being shown. The court is filled with the court members. The king is also present).
Dalsmy: (to The Sage) I was quite surprised when I heard the news that the taviour has been revealed, and he helped in killing the Snake witch. So what do you mean now that he is not the taviour?
The Sage: The young man is not the taviour. He is just a Wyfo star. (the court is filled with murmurs as they are surprised).
Dalsmy: (surprised) A Wyfo star? Do they really exist? I thought Wyfo star story is just a folklore story.
The Sage: My king, Wyfo star really exists. It is just being used by us, powerful people to pray for our respective land. Though I haven’t seen one ever before, but I made my findings, and I realized that the man is just one.
Tedder: I think there is sense in what the Sage is saying. The young man we are even talking about here is not the King’s son, so he definitely can’t be the taviour.
Vale: (sighs) I am not saying the man is the taviour, but I used to think the Wyfo star story is just a story being told by elders to make young ones pray more for their land. I don’t believe the story is really true.
Remton: Are you trying to say The Sage is lying? Let’s use our brain. This man can never be the taviour. The taviour spirit is not yet awakened, so why will anyone be the taviour yet?
Dalsmy: (to the Sage) My High Sage, I believe you. Just make sure once the taviour spirit is awakened, we don’t loose it like we lost the Split Eye.
The Sage: (bowing down) I won’t disappoint you, my King. We will surely have the taviour.
Dalsmy: My Sage, I was told that Calderie is back in the land, and I know that he can’t be freed without your powers. Why did you free him?
The Sage: (scared) The work was done by his agents. They overtook my body and used my powers to free him from the elderworld.
Dalsmy: The main reason we trapped his spirit is because of his powers. Now he is already using his powers to turn the land upside down. I heard that he tried to feed the prince, Memex to the snake witch.
The Sage: My King, I will begin plans on how to trap his spirit again like we did before.
Dalsmy: Do you think you can do it? Because he won’t be tricked like he was then?
The Sage: He may have unbelievable powers, but he can still tricked. I will begin plans on how to trap him immediately, my King.
Dalsmy: I believe you won’t fail me, My Sage.
The Sage: I promise, my King.
Dalsmy: The court is dismissed.
(The court members leave the palace immediately, leaving the King in the palace room. Few hours later, the King comes out, only to see The Sage sneaking out of the Queen’s room. He is being surprised because he thought the Sage has left since together with other court members. He makes sure the Sage doesn’t see him, as the Sage left the palace. He then goes to meet the guard by the gate).
Guard: (bowing) My King!
Dalsmy: (silently) Don’t shout. I just want to ask you something.
Guard: (curious) What’s that, my King?
Dalsmy: Did the Sage leave the palace and come back?
Guard: No, he just left the palace now.
Dalsmy: (shocked) The Sage just left?
Guard: Yes, my King. I thought you were both having a private conversation inside the palace room. Is that not so, my King?
Dalsmy: It is. We were having a conversation.
Guard: Then why do you seem surprised that he is just leaving?
Dalsmy: Nothing. (he leaves)

(He sights Ornah trying to run away from the room. He chases towards him immediately until he catches up to him).
Ornah: (kneels down as the King catches up with him. He is very scared and surprised as he sees the King alive again) Please, my King, forgive me. It wasn’t my fault.
Dalsmy: (smiles) Ornah, I can’t die. I just let you try, so you can see that I can’t die.
Ornah: I understand, my King. Please, forgive me, don’t kill me.
Dalsmy: I am not here to harm you. I just want to let you know that you must not flee from the land.
Ornah: (surprised) I don’t understand what you are trying to say.
Dalsmy: I want you to be in the land, and still be among the court members. I have no ill mind towards you. I won’t kill you, and I won’t punish you. I want you to be the living example of someone that was trying to kill me. I want you to tell all your accomplices that the King can’t die no matter how much you try to kill me.
Ornah: (surprised) Thanks, my King. I won’t ever try such with you again. I will even warn everyone that wants to kill you, that you can’t be killed. I am very sorry, my King.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to the streets of Lailand where the snakes are attacking the people, and killing them. Peekeh can be seen in the middle directing the snakes up and down. Calderie and Vanos arrive the scene with Nipen)
Peekeh: (surprised) Calderie, the powerful Mansard, I heard your spirit has being freed. I didn’t believe it, until I am seeing you now. What is the Chief Guard doing with you?
Calderie: You should know what Lailand did to us because of our powers. You were banned to Kilipi Jungle because of your powers. I was trapped in the Elderword because of my powers. If Lailand doesn’t want us in the land, then we take the land.
Peekeh: (sighs) That still doesn’t answer why you have the Chief Guard.
Calderie: I am just using him to settle the scores between his father and I. His father helped the Sage and the King in trapping my spirit. It was even his father that drugged me, so they could be able to achieve the evil aim towards me. I want you to kill him for me.
Peekeh: (smiles) With all pleasure.
Nipen: (scared) Please, spare me. I am ready to do anything you ask me to do.
Calderie: I need nothing from you, except for your death. (he throws Nipen towards the Snake witch).
Peekeh: (her snakes grab him waiting for order from her before striking him) Strike… (he is being interrupted by Memex, as he arrives the scene).
Memex: (arriving the scene) Stop.
Peekeh: (surprised) Who the hell are you?
Memex: (smiles) I am your nemesis. I am your end. I am the taviour.
Peekeh: (laughs uncontrollably) You, the taviour, I am quite amused.
Memex: (still smiling) Calderie, tell her.
Calderie: (smiles lightly) Show her instead. Show her your powers.
Memex: Okay. (brings out the potion and spray it on Peekeh) Die.
(As he sprayed the potion on her, she screams out angrily and orders her snakes to grab him immediately. The snakes begin to bite him mercilessly. He becomes unconscious immediately)
Peekeh: (angrily) Who gave this idiot Belinda Powder?
Calderie: (smiles) It was I. He wants to be the taviour by force.
Peekeh: (smiles) You are so wicked. (Habbath runs up to the scene sweating profusely).
Habbath: (breathing heavily) Please, spare my brother. Please, don’t kill him.
Calderie: You are too late, young man. I thought I warned you to leave Lailand immediately. It’s like you’ve come to die too, together with your brother.
Habbath: I can’t let you kill him. I won’t survive it, if he dies. I have to save him. (scared)
Peekeh: Then, maybe you should die alongside him.
(She orders her snakes to strike Nipen down. Habbath couldn’t understand the kind of anger he feels. Flames start to burn out of his body. With the anger inside him, he moves close to Peekeh and pushes her onto the ground. As he touched her, Peekeh’s body starts to dry up and she turns to ashes. All her snakes, also start to dry up and turn to ashes. All the citizens that were being bitten, but not dead yet start to heal immediately the Snake witch turned to ashes, including Memex. Everyone is surprised at this, as they shout loudly).
Everyone: (at the same time) Taviour! (They all bow down immediately).
Calderie: (his mouth is still not closed, as he is very surprised) What happened? The taviour’s spirit isn’t yet activated, so you are definitely not the taviour. So, what the hell happened?
Habbath: (as he runs to meet Nipen) Nipen, are you alright? Let’s leave this place.
Calderie: (still surprised) I can’t let you leave. I can’t let you live. I have to kill you right now. I can’t risk you being the taviour.
(As he is about to use his powers to kill both of them, flames fill up the area. The Sage appears, touches both Nipen and Habbath, and they all disappear from the scene).

* * * * *
(The scene is brought into a cave. The young woman that disguised as an old woman and directed Habbath to where Nipen was being taken is being shown kneeling down).
Snuke: (being the young woman) My lady, it is exactly as you prophesized.
Malisteh: (just the voice) Our plans are working perfectly. We will accomplish our mission very soon. Make sure to take care of the man.
Snuke: Yes, my lady.

The Sage: (scared) Truly I am still weak, but you won’t be able to get to me. (As Zachaeus wants to advance on him, The Sage touches AgePie, casts some spells, and they both disappear from the jungle).
Zachaeus: (hurt) Ah! (screams loudly) We lost him. I lost him. I failed again. I failed despite promising an impossible request to Calderie. Ah! (he screams out loudly again).
* * * * *
* * * * *
(flashback)
(The King of Lailand can be seen in a room, together with a man).
Rogge: My king, I know I suggested this, but it is too risky.
Dalsmy: I have to do it. Lately, there have been so many attempts to kill me. I must not die. I have to live. Lailand will be hopeless if I die.
Rogge: You want dark spirits to keep you alive even after death, you should know it would come with a price.
Dalsmy: (unconvinced) I don’t care about the price, I must not die, that’s the important part.
Rogge: (brings out a chain from a bag) This is the Chain of Latipul. When you notice you are about to die, be it sickness or attempt to kill you, have this chain on, you will be brought back to life.
Dalsmy: (as he collects the chain) Rogge, thanks. Can I have it on always?
Rogge: You don’t need to. Just make sure it is on you when you are about to die. Anytime you are suspecting you may die, make sure it is on you.
Dalsmy: You have to leave now. Make sure The Sage does not know you are in Lailand at all.
Rogge: (sighs) I understand, my King.
* * * * *
(back)
(The King wakes up in a cave. He does not recognize where he is. A voice starts to speak).
Malisteh: King Dalsmy. (in echo)
Dalsmy: (scared) Who is calling my name?
Malisteh: It is I, Malisteh.
Dalsmy: (surprised) Malisteh, the dark lady, so you really exist.
Malisteh: Sure, I do.
Dalsmy: (so scared) Where am I?
Malisteh: You are in the elderworld.
Dalsmy: (more scared) That means I am dead.
Malisteh: Yeah, you are.
Dalsmy: But …(he looks at the chain on his neck). The evil priest, Rogge, told me once I have this chain on, I can’t die.
Malisteh: (chuckles) You misquoted him. You would surely die, but be brought back to life.
Dalsmy: Really? Then what am I still doing here, return me back.
Malisteh: It is not that easy. To return back to life, you have to pay a price.
Dalsmy: What is the price?
Malisteh: You must give the Apple of Jayanah to me.
Dalsmy: (scared) Why is it that anytime you evil people want to ask something from us, it is always the Apple of Jayanah? Why are so hellbent on destroying Lailand?
Malisteh: You and the Sage had be disoriented. I don’t need the Apple of Jayanah to destroy Lailand. With or without the Apple of Jayanah, I can destroy Lailand in a second. Lailand doesn’t really need the Apple to stay undestroyed.
Dalsmy: (surprised) Really? Then, what exactly do you need the Apple of Jayanah for?
Malisteh: There are some things that are above your knowledge. There are things you can’t know.
Dalsmy: Then I can’t give you the Apple of Jayanah.
Malisteh: Then you will stay dead. I will still get the Apple from whomever is made King among your children.
Dalsmy: (scared) How can I trust you that Lailand won’t be destroyed if I hand over the Apple to you?
Malisteh: The fate of Lailand doesn’t rest upon one Apple. So many things contribute to the fate. Lailand will be destroyed with or without the Apple. I just need the Apple for something personal.
Dalsmy: I will return back to life and make sure Lailand isn’t destroyed. Since you are giving me your word that the Apple isn’t really necessary for Lailand to stay undestroyed, I will give you the Apple and work to make sure your mission to destroy the land is not accomplished.
Malisteh: (chuckles) You can try. Do we have a deal?
Dalsmy: Yes. How do I get it to you when I get back to life?
Malisteh: You need not worry about that. You will get the directives.
Dalsmy: Now, return me back to life.
Malisteh: When you return back to life, make sure the chain is always on you. It serves as the binding force separating you from the Elderworld where you now belong.
Dalsmy: I understand.
(Malisteh casts some spells and Dalsmy is returned to the world of the living).

(The scene is brought to the palace of Lailand. There is mourning all around as the news of the King’s death is being spread. The news is still being covered from being spread across the land, so the neigbouring lands won’t strike them before they choose a new King. The King’s corpse is being lain on the floor, and the court members are crying profusely).
Shed: (crying) I have an important announcement to make. (the court becomes a bit silent). We all know that the King, before his death ordered the triggering of the taviour spirit, so he could save us from the mess we are currently in. We’ve done as the King ordered and the Taviour has being revealed to us. (the court members are shocked, and are already anticipating to know who the taviour is). I hereby declare the taviour as… (sound of coughs can be heard from the King’s side. The court members are surprised but still not sure of exactly the place the coughs were coming from). Hope the cough didn’t come from where I thought it came from. (jokingly). Back to our previous discussion, the taviour is… (another series of coughs come from the King’s side, this time very clear it is from the King himself. The court members, noticing this, take to their heels. They scattered away, scared that a ghost is coughing).
Dalsmy: (as he coughs out) I am back… I am back strongly.

(The scene is brought to the palace. The king can be seen attending to state matters in scrolls inside the palace room. Then Ornah enters, holding a sword).
Dalsmy: (surprised) Ornah, what is the meaning of this?
Ornah: (looks at him daringly) My king, today is the day you die.
Dalsmy: (surprised) You dare plot treason against your King.
Ornah: I have to relieve you of your duties, my king. Don’t you think you are a burden to Lailand. The dark night comes during your time. I believe you have to die before we can escape the woes of the dark night.
Dalsmy: (surprised and scared) What’s the meaning of this? (calling outside) Nipen, are you there?
Ornah: Nipen has found his fate. He is currently on his way to his execution stage. He can’t help you.
Dalsmy: (still scared) What did you do to my Chief Guard?
Ornah: You should worry about yourself and forget about Nipen.
Dalsmy: (shouts) Guards. (the two guards at the entrance rushes in) Arrest Ornah immediately.
Guards: Yes, Your Highness. (Instead of arresting Ornah, they point their swords to the King).
Dalsmy: (surprised) What are you doing?
Ornah: My King, you can’t be saved. Today is really your day.
Dalsmy: (totally scared) You have everything planned. How dare you, Ornah plot against me? Now I understand. It was you all along. I used to wonder who has the courage to assassinate me. So it was you.
Ornah: I know you were suspecting of overthrowing you. I wasn’t trying to overthrow you, I just want to put a better person there. Someone that will help Lailand to conquer the woes, since you can’t.
Dalsmy: You are just doing this for your own selfish reasons.
Ornah: Let’s not waste time. I have to kill you now.
Dalsmy: (pitifully) Can you help me to take that chain over there? (pointing to a chain that’s being hanged inside the palace room).
Ornah: (curious) What’s the chain for?
Dalsmy: It’s a chain belonging to my forefathers. I just wish I die having it on.
Ornah: No problem.
(He orders a guard to give the King the chain. The King collects the chain and puts it on).
Dalsmy: (smiles) Now, I am ready. (From behind, Memex stabs him with a sword. He doesn’t even know who stabbed him. He just knows he’s being stabbed. He groans and dies immediately)
Ornah: Why did you stab him from the back? (curious)
Memex: He is my father, I don’t have the courage to let him know I am his killer.
Ornah: Shed will declare you the taviour in the next court meeting, once you’ve killed the snake witch.
Memex: (brings out a potion) This is the potion Calderie gave me to get rid of the snake witch. All I have to do is just to spray it on her.
Ornah: Get it done, then. Let me go and continue some things I have to do to install you as the king.
Memex: Okay.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to the Jungle. Zachaeus can be seen looking at the jungle room from a distance. His disciples surround the area, having their weapons with them. He notices that the Sage isn’t alone inside the Jungle room, so he is being careful.
The inside of the jungle room is shown. AgePie can be seen sweating profusely. He is so scared, after discovering the area has been surrounded, and The Sage is still unconscious. He doesn’t know what to do. After a while, he decides to sneak out of the room, carrying the Sage along. As he steps out, Zachaeus stops him).
Zachaeus: (shouts loudly) Where do you think you are going with him?
AgePie: (scared) Zachaeus of Exelung, are you the one holding The Sage captive? I don’t believe you have such power. (confused).
Zachaeus: (smiles) I don’t care if I have such power to hold The Sage captive, all I know is he is dying. (to his disciples) Take him.
(The disciples move toward AgePie. AgePie is dealt with a lot of blows, and he is being stabbed with sword. He falls down, dropping The Sage he is carrying. As the disciples want to stab the Sage, their swords turn against them and start to fight them magically. Zachaeus is surprised at this, until he notices that The Sage is getting conscious).
The Sage: (after casting some spells) Zachaeus, you can’t kill me. My death isn’t in your hands.
Zachaeus: (surprised) I can kill you now, you are definitely still weak.

Vanos: (to Calderie) Leader, we are here.
Habbath: (surprised) Who are you people?
Calderie: (to Habbath) We are asking for someone. He is Mity by name.
Habbath: You just barged in to ask for someone like that. Mity is dead. You can leave now.
Calderie: I know he is dead. I am actually looking for his sons. I heard he has two sons and they live here.
Habbath: (angry) My elder brother, Nipen is not around. I am his younger son.
Calderie: (looks at Habbath angrily) You are Mity’s son? (he uses his power to make Habbath hangs in the air).
Habbath: (scared) What are you doing to me? Please stop. (He drops and falls down immediately).
Calderie: (he sensed some things, as he made his power to drop Habbath) You aren’t Mity’s son.
Habbath: (still hurting from the fall) What the hell does that mean? Mity was my father. (scared).
Calderie: You don’t have his blood, young man. I can sense dark spirits hovering upon your soul. You will face darkness in the future if you don’t leave Lailand. You will face a destiny worse than death if you don’t leave in time.
Habbath: (totally scared) I will never leave Lailand. I will not leave the land in time of trouble.
Calderie: I don’t care what you do. I have to go and find your elder brother then. Only he has to die, since you aren’t Mity’s son.
Habbath: (scared and angrily) Don’t touch Nipen. I will kill you if you do.
Calderie: (smiles) Try and stop me.
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to Nipen on his way to the palace. He is being double crossed by Calderie and Vanos).
Nipen: (recognizes Calderie) Calderie, the powerful wizard, Leader of the Mansard. (surprised) How come you are here. The Sage trapped you.
Calderie: (smiles) With the help of your father, that betrayed me. I am surprised that you can still recognize me. You were very young when your father and I were good friends.
Nipen: I don’t forget faces that easily. You still haven’t answered my question.
Calderie: That’s not what you should be worried about, your life is.
Nipen: (scared) My life? Why would you want my life?
Calderie: Mity betrayed me. I have to make example of his son so no one can try something of such again.
Nipen: (scared) This is exactly the reason why you were trapped. You are too powerful. You can easily make irrational decisions. I pose no threat to you. Please let me be.
Calderie: I am sorry, young man. How I wish we could meet under different circumstance, but I have to kill you in this circumstance. I have to have my revenge on your father.
Nipen: I can’t let you do anything with me. (he unsheathes his sword).
Calderie: (smiles) Sword against me, do you really think that could help?
Nipen: (scared) Please, spare me. (He tries to run away. Calderie stretches his hand, and something begins to drag Nipen back.)
Calderie: You can’t escape from me, young man. I won’t kill you myself, I will feed you to the Peekeh’s snakes. (he twists his hands, and a rope appears to tie Nipen. He and Vanos leaves with Nipen)
(Not long after, Habbath arrives the scene. He sees how rough the ground is, and he senses that something must have happened there. An old woman tapped him from behind).
Old woman: Are you looking for your brother?
Habbath: (surprised) Yes. I believe he has been kidnapped by someone very powerful.
Old woman: Your brother is being taken to Peekeh.
Habbath: To Peekeh, the snake witch? She’s definitely going to kill him (totally scared)
Old woman: That’s the man’s intentions. He wants him dead.
Habbath: (scared) I have to go and save my brother. He must not die. (he runs away from the scene).
Old woman: (smiles) Underlings. (she transforms into a young woman and then disappears).
* * * * *
* * * * *

Zachaeus: (curious) What do you want? You have to tell me quickly before The Sage overcomes whatever you are using to hold him captive.
Calderie: (smiles) Where I have him, I made a spell that would keep him asleep as long as he is inside. There’s no way he can overcome my spell.
Zachaeus: (chuckles) You are underestimating The Sage. I made that mistake once and I am only lucky to tell the story now.
Calderie: (smiles again) It is you that The Sage can trick. He doesn’t have upto a bit of my powers to be able to trick me.
Zachaeus: Just tell me what you want.
Calderie: I want … (he whispers silently to Zachaeus).
Zachaeus: (shocked) How can you ask something of such? You know I can’t give you that.
Calderie: Then I can’t give you The Sage.
Zachaeus: I know you can’t let The Sage live. Maybe I should forget about having him, and let you kill him.
Calderie: (laughs) I can let The Sage live. He is no threat to me at all. He is too small for me. But I know as long as he lives, he will always threaten you.
Zachaeus: Really? Have you forgotten that he was the one that trapped your spirit in the Elderworld?
Calderie: That was because I trusted a friend. And there’s a saying, “Once bitten, twice shy”. Trust me, I really can let him live and nothing will happen to me. It’s you that should be scared of that.
Zachaeus: (convinced) I will do what you asked of me. Now tell me where the Sage is.
Calderie: Now, you are talking. You should know you can’t promise me and fail. I have the Sage in Lailand’s jungle room.
Zachaeus: (gives a relief sigh) Thanks. We meet later. (he disappears).
* * * * *
(The scene is brought to The Sage’s abode. Nipen enters to find AgePie sleeping. He tries to wake him up but he is not waking. He then brings up a bucket of water and pours it on him. Finally, he starts to wake).
AgePie: (Waking up from sleep. He yawns as he wakes) What happened? (curious as he can’t find The Sage) The Sage casted a sleeping spell on me. What the hell happened?
Nipen: (surprised) The Sage casted a sleeping spell on you. Why?
AgePie: I just noticed something was wrong with him. He told me he has to be somewhere and I insisted on following him, and then I fell asleep.
Nipen: (scared) Did he tell you where he was going to?
AgePie: No.
Nipen: There’s trouble in the land. The snake witch is destroying Lailand, and we can’t find the Sage.
AgePie: (scared) Peekeh is in Lailand? There really is trouble.
Nipen: Is there a way we can find his whereabouts?
AgePie: (thinks up something) There’s a way I can find where he is.
(He brings out a calabash covered with a red wrapper. He begins to cast some spells. After a while, the sage can be viewed from inside the calabash)
Nipen: (scared) The Sage is sleeping. Where’s that?
AgePie: (looking very carefully at the surrounding) That’s the jungle room. Something must have happened. Someone must be holding him captive. We have to save him.
Nipen: Jungle room? I have to go there immediately.
AgePie: No, I have to go. You said Snake Witch is trying to destroy the land. It is possible that she aims the palace. You have to go and protect the palace. Leave this to me.
Nipen: (scared) Can I trust you to bring The Sage back safely?
AgePie: Definitely.
Nipen: Then I have to head back to the palace.
* * * * *
(Same time)
(The scene is brought to Nipen and Habbath’s house. Habbath can be seen mixing some potions together. He is quite frustrated and confused with what he is doing).
Habbath: (confused) Why can’t I find any potion to kill this snake witch? (he brings out some books and begins to read) Why can’t I understand a damn thing? Is this how Lailand is going to be demolished? Why am I so helpless? Why am I so useless? (he is totally confused).
(Calderie and Vanos enter the room).

Favyo:
Yea, now I get it... Thanks, Silver . When next are u updating?

Today...

Favyo:
And is Lete a witch? Because the only thing we saw was jus a minor pinch... How then does he claim to have cut the sage in order to have had his blood, the much to be contained in a bottle for Vanoa to have drank of it?

When someone is being cut slightly with a sharp object, little blood comes out. You can easily deduce that Lete's finger was sharp. All Vanos needed is a little blood from The Sage. Lete needed to store the blood, reason for the bottle. The Sage couldn't realize the storing because of the collision, and also because of AgePie's involvement...

EPISODE SIX (PAYBACK TIME PART II)
(Calderie and Vanos discussing in Calderie’s power room)
Vanos: (to Calderie) You are working with both Elluah and Memex, what exactly is your plan?
Calderie: I am only trying to make sure the taviour’s spirit is not triggered.
Vanos: Are you really planning to meet the dark lady to stop the snake witch’s attacks?
Calderie: I can’t.
Vanos: (surprised) Why?
Calderie: The dark lady is only afraid of the taviour. Her plan is that Lailand should get the spirit forcefully triggered, so that the Taviour won’t accomplish his mission. If the spirit is triggered, the taviour will never be able to conquer the dark lady.
Vanos: You are making sure the spirit is not triggered, that means we are working against the dark lady. Isn’t that risky? (curious). Also, if the spirit is not triggered, does that mean that snake witch will destroy Lailand completely?
Calderie: (smiles) Malisteh is not that foolish, and also Lailand is not a land that the gods will forsake that easily. I know Malisteh has her plans that we don’t know yet. She surely knows I am going to stop the spirit from being triggered, so she must have other plans. And for Lailand, I don’t see the land been completely demolished yet. Something will happen that will shock us all, we just have to wait for it.
Vanos: What about the plans to eliminate the King?
Calderie: The king is definitely going to die, he can’t escape it. But there will be a mystery around his death. That, I am not allowed to know yet. (he feels something).
Vanos: What’s wrong, leader?
Calderie: I am being summoned by someone powerful. I have to go.
(He disappears and reappears in a forest. He looks around to find the person that summoned him. Zachaeus then comes out from behind a tree).
Zachaeus: Calderie, the powerful man, is it really you?
Calderie: Zachaeus, the priest, I could feel your summon.
Zachaeus: (surprised) The Sage trapped your spirit a long time ago. How are you able to be back among the living.
Calderie: (smiles) I knew Lailand could plot against me, though I didn’t know they would use my friend. Long before I was trapped, I had left a scripture of how I could be saved with my agents.
Zachaeus: (curious) But why weren’t you freed all this while, until this time?
Calderie: I needed the dark spirits that came with dark night to be freed. My agents had to stay low until the dark night comes, to free me. Even if it is in thousands of years before the dark night comes, that’s when I could be awakened. I am just quite lucky that dark night came in time.
Zachaeus: Okay. I got your message that you have The Sage of Lailand.
Calderie: (chuckles) Yeah, I do.
Zachaeus: (curious) Is he dead?
Calderie: Nope.
Zachaeus: For you not to kill him and messaged me that you have him means you want to sell him to me. What’s your price?
Calderie: I know you will do anything to have the Sage, that’s why I thought it will better if I have you kill him than kill him myself.

Favyo:
But what exactly is this Caderine up to? Are u sure the Sage really knows what he's doing especially by conniving with these seemingly conniving and scheming witches?

You don't really understand that part. That wasn't really the Sage. It's the Sage's body and power, but Vanos's soul. Vanos is using The Sage's body. The spells the wizards made with The Sage's blood transferred Vanos into the Sage's body

Episode 6 continues when there are more comments... thanks and bye for now

(Memex can be seen in a dark room. Shed, Ornal and Saqul enters)
Ornal: Prince, here they are.
Shed: (confused) Prince, why do you summon us here?
Memex: (chuckles) I have a tempting offer for you. (to Ornal) Show them the scroll.
Ornal: Okay, my prince. (He brings out a scroll and hands it over to Shed. Shed screams in surprise after reading the content. He passes the scroll to Saqul. Saqul is also surprised with what he saw in the scroll).
Saqul: (shocked) Is this correct?
Memex: You can seal the King’s seal on it. The King plans to make the taviour the crown prince and then the King immediately after his demise.
Shed: (realizing something) That explains the reason why the King is quite reluctant to choose the crown prince.
Memex: Exactly.
Saqul: So, what do you want from us?
Memex: If not for the taviour’s issue, I am supposed to be the crown prince, being the eldest son. But the king is purposely waiting for the spirit to be awakened before he chooses the crown prince. Though I may be taviour, but there is still another possibility that I may not. I can’t take that chance, I can’t let any of my little brothers take my position.
Saqul: So, my prince, what is your plan?
Memex: You will declare me the taviour.
Shed: (shocked) So, you are saying we shouldn’t trigger the spirit and just declare you the taviour.
Memex: Exactly (smiles).
Shed: (confused) Have you forgotten the main reason we are triggering the spirit in the first place?
Memex: (still smiling) I got that covered. (Calderie enters the room).
Saqul: Who is this?
Memex: That is Calderie, the leader of Mansard. (they become scared)
Shed: Calderie, the powerful wizard that the King and The Sage trapped a long time ago?
Calderie: That’s me. (smiles)
Saqul: How is he going to help us?
Calderie: You all know the extents of my powers. The snake witch is no match for me. I will make a dark potion and give it to Prince Memex immediately you declare him the taviour. All he has to do is pour the potion on the Snake Witch, and off she disappears. Problem solved, win-win for all of us.
Shed: (looking at him shabbily) And what do you stand to gain from this?
Memex: (cuts in) Don’t bother about that. I have already made deals with him too.
Calderie: Yeah, I was just given permission to do some things I want. (smiles wickedly)
Memex: (to Shed and Saqul) Once I am King, you know I can never forget you. The two of you together with Ornal will be given high posts that no one can never reach you. I will make above your mates. You are surely going to be in riches. Are you in or not?
Shed: (looks at Saqul in affirmation, and turns his face back to Memex) We are in. You are already the taviour.
Memex: Thanks. You can leave. I have other things to attend to, together with Ornal and Calderie. (Shed and Saqul leaves the room)
Ornal: So, prince, what’s my job?
Memex: You have to kill my father.
Ornal: (shocked) I should kill the King.
Memex: Yeah. The Sage already has the order to make the taviour the crown prince. I only need my father to be dead, so I can be the King immediately.
Ornal: But, my prince, Nipen will surely be a problem.
Memex: Got that covered as well.
Calderie: (chuckles) Nipen and I have old scores to settle. He won’t be available to give you any problem. Just go ahead with whatever plans you have.
Memex: All cases solved. Now, let’s get to work.

* * * * *
(Elluah can be seen meeting secretly with Calderie)
Calderie: Prince Elluah, everything is going as planned.
Elluah: Thanks for helping me out. Are you sure Memex is going to die too?
Calderie: Yeah, prince. He is so foolish for believing I have the power to kill the snake witch. The snake witch has been given ultimate power by the dark lady herself. Nothing can kill her, except the taviour. The potion I am going to give him is a repulsion potion or the snake witch. She will angrily kill him once he pours it on her.
Elluah: But since you can’t wake the taviour’s spirit up, how do you plan to conquer the snake witch for me?
Calderie: Malisteh, the dark lady felt fooled by Lailand. That’s the reason she asked the snake witch to wipe out Lailand totally. I just have to strike a deal with her and she will call off the snake witch.
Elluah: By striking deal with her, you mean to give her the Apple of Jayanah I promised you when I become King, right?
Calderie: Yeah. The Apple of Jayanah is all she wants from Lailand.
Elluah: Remember you promised me that I can still rule Lailand without the Apple of Jayanah.
Calderie: Definitely, my future King.
Elluah: It’s alright then. Let my brother take care of the King, and then walk into his death himself. Then I will have no major competitor.
Calderie: What about Prince Tikahay, and the princess?
Elluah: (smiles) Tikahay had been stripped of his status once, and he is back in the land, so the enemy lands won’t be able to use him against us. He is not a competitor, Memex is the real problem. Also, Memex is a real schemer, he is the one I have to take out, not Tikahay. Tikahay is very easy to manipulate. And for the princess, she is a lady. Her gender renders her competitive less. But later, if any of the two tries and claim the throne, I will kill them myself.
Calderie: (moved) You’ve really gone everything planned.
Elluah: All of them are looking down on me, as if I’m nothing. Memex and Tikahay are calling themselves future Kings, forgetting I’m also there. It’s just okay for me to work from the under like this and hurt them.

Ornah: (chuckles) The Sage behaves like he is the King, just because you cherish him so much. How dare he not come here despite you declaring an emergency meeting? All other court members are present, but he decided not to show up. That’s very arrogant of him.
Remton: How can you talk in that manner? We all know The Sage takes Lailand as the first thing in his heart. I am sure he is somewhere looking for ways to stop the attacks. Please don’t let us be conclusive yet.
Staline: In my own opinion, no matter what he is currently attending to, he’s supposed to attend the King’s emergency meeting.
Dalsmy: Let’s stop arguing and come up with a solution. With what I am hearing about these attacks, it seems the snake witch want to destroy the whole of Lailand. We have to come up with a plan.
Shed: My king, we have it in the old scriptures that there is one person that can kill the snake witch permanently.
Dalsmy: (confused) The taviour?
Shed: Yes, my King. The taviour has the ability to kill the snake witch permanently. Even the sage doesn’t have the power to totally get rid of her.
Dalsmy: (still confused) But the taviour’s spirit isn’t yet awakened now.
Shed: We all know there is a way to get the taviour if we want to.
Remton: (surprised) Are you suggesting we trigger the spirit? (murmurs start in the court).
Shed: Do we have any other choice here?
Remton: You are saying we should forcefully wake the taviour’s spirit. Do you know the implication of that?
Ornah: (cuts in) Triggering the taviour’s spirit will forcefully wake the spirit up, and in so doing, the taviour will never accomplish his mission. (chuckles) I wanna see where this leads to.
Shed: What’s the taviour’s mission? Is it not to protect Lailand? Why can’t we wake him to protect the land anyway?
Staline: I’m seconding Shed’s opinion. The snake witch is likely to destroy the whole of Lailand. By the time the taviour’s spirit wakes, there may not even be Lailand again. We have to act now.
Remton: Why are we even having this conversation? We know it’s forbidden to trigger the taviour’s spirit. We can’t do this. We have to find another way to stop the snake’s attacks. The sage will definitely find something to do about this.
Ornah: And till now, The Sage still hasn’t showed up.
Tedder: I’m being silent since morning. I just want the king to decide quickly and solve this matter. The snakes got to my area. I had to evacuate my family and I know it’s just a matter of time before the snakes reach where they are hiding. Please, my King, find something to do on this matter.
Dalsmy: (confused) This is my order. I give The Sage twelve hours to this time to find something to do the attack. Once the time passes, Shed should go on with his plan to trigger the taviour’s spirit. Ornah and Saqul should join him so he can be fast with it
Remton: (nervous) But my King…
Dalsmy: (interrupts her) Do you want to be questioning my orders? (angrily).
Remton: (scared) I’m sorry, my King.

* * * * *
(The scene is brought to the tomb where Tevah is. The nine wizards are there, and so is Tevah, all forming a circle. The Sage enters.)
The Sage: (looks at the body on the ground) Are you sure this is the right body? We can’t afford to make any mistake.
Tevah: Yeah, it is. I personally confirmed it. I know how important this is to us.
The Sage: Then, let’s get started. (The Sage and Tevah join the circle with the body in the middle, and all begin to cast spells combining their power. The spells continue for hours as dark matters start to fill up the room from time to time. After some time, they begin to spit blood from their mouth as they continue the spells. The blood joins together to form a whole, and magically enters the body. Then all of a sudden, the body comes alive. He opens his eyes, to see the people surrounding him).
White: (nervous) Leader, is that you?
Calderie: White, Vanos, you did it. It is really I. You brought me back to life. You did it. (feeling so happy. All the wizards jeers up in happiness as they are able to fulfill their mission)
The Sage: I am so happy we are able to bring you back.
Calderie: (stands up and wears the already prepared clothes – his red and black robe) We have little time to act. The King has already given the order that the taviour’s spirit should be triggered. We can’t let that happen. We can’t hide for the rest of our lives. We have to prevent that.
The Sage: I have to go and get my body back. What should I do with The Sage’s body? Should I kill him after getting back my body?
Calderie: No. I have plans. (to White) Pass a message to Priest of Exelung, Zachaeous that Calderie is back and I have The Sage. (to The Sage) Go and get your body back and drop The Sage’s body in the jungle room. Then come back to me, you have to show me around. I have people I have to meet.

AgePie: (surprised) As in, like right now?
The Sage: Yeah, is anything the matter?
AgePie: You don’t go out in this attire.
The Sage: Oh, I will just change my clothes. (looking around) Where are my clothes?
AgePie: (confused) Inside the locker in the passage. Are you sure you are alright?
The Sage: Yeah, I’m fine.
AgePie: Okay, let me just change and follow you.
The Sage: No, don’t bother. I said I’m fine. I have to go alone.
AgePie: I insist.
The Sage: (smiles in an awful way) Get your clothes then and let’s leave.
AgePie: Better. (he turns his back to go outside)
The Sage: Lashibah Penita Kalaki (AgePie faints immediately). That should keep you asleep till I’m through.

(In Lailand’s market. There is pandemonium up and down. Snakes are attacking the sellers and buyers, biting and killing them. Children and old men aren’t spared. People are running for their lives.
The scene is taken to various homes in Lailand. There are snakes’ attacks everywhere. The snakes are attacking the people inside the houses and killing them)
* * * * *
(Lailand’s Palace, the court members are meeting with the King. There is an emergency meeting)
Ornah: Our king, the snake attack is becoming uncontrollable. The snakes are killing the citizens mercilessly. We have to do something.
Dalsmy: What could have caused this? (nervous)
Saqul: There is a rumour that the snake witch is angry that The Sage fooled her about drinking the owl water or so. So she is retaliating about the whole issue.
Dalsmy: Where exactly is The Sage himself, since he is the cause of the issue at ground?

Steph: Do you really believe the Agents of Mansard will do nothing?
Old Man: Calderie’s spirit is trapped forever. It is only The Sage that can bring him out. And The Sage will never do something of such.
Steph: Still yet, we have to do something. I have to be sure the agents aren’t up to anything.
Old Man: They can’t do anything without their Leader and Sage will never bring him out.
Steph: Their job is to make sure the taviour’s spirit is never awaken. Do you think they will sit and do nothing knowing the spirit awakening is a threat to their entire existence?
Old Man: (smiles) I know you want to show yourself but it is quite dangerous in Lailand right now. You have to wait for the taviour’s spirit.

(A man can be seen leading Tevah to a particular tomb)
Tevah: (to the man) Are you sure this is the tomb?
Man: (scared) I can never lie to you. This is the tomb we buried him. Please do not kill me.
Tevah: Okay. (he digs up the coffin to confirm the body) Very well (A bird flies to his hand. He ties a message carrying paper to the leg of the bird and flies the bird away. He then uses his sword to kill the man)

(Inside a dark room, Vanos can be seen standing in the middle while some men, nine in number surround him. They begin to cast some spells. Along the line, dark flames start to fill up the room. After some minutes, they stop. Vanos picks up the bottle containing The Sage’s blood and he gulps it down his throat. The men start to cast another spell, and after some minutes, Vanos faints)

(The scene is brought to The Sage sleeping. He wakes up immediately, and begins to check his body. He stands up to the mirror and then smiles).
The Sage: (smiling) It worked. Time to get to work. (AgePie enters)
AgePie: (looks at The Sage) Hope nothing is wrong?
The Sage: Nothing is wrong. I just need to be somewhere right now.
