Pallis
I’ve been tracing your steps, along with your dainty, exquisite guest. Across mountain land and serpentining seas, these two have been on quite an odyssey. But you’re a fool to think this princess could ever really love a couple of poor boys like us. She requires riches recherché, riding with rodomontading roués.

Adakias
Casanovas have charmed with chiffons, so chichi. Chased her with their conceited coteries.

Princess Anhura
Maharajahs have magniloquently mouthed their love for me through their menageries.

Adakias
She’s been propositioned, propounded by every pompous prince. Given panniers of peerless pears and plums, polished.

Princess Anhura
I’ve been seduced with shimmering, sparkling stones. Squired by suitors to sizable chateaus.

Adakias
And I’m the one she chose.

Pallis
I understand how you can love a man of [bad word]  so why don’t you just ask him where he spent his youth? Oh, look at her face. She really doesn’t see that you are from the Dark and you’ve been lying through your teeth.

Adakias
Anhura, please listen. I really can explain. I meant to tell you sooner, it’s been gnawing at my brain. Now you know the [bad word]  but that knowledge shouldn’t change the nature of our love. We’ve broken through the chains.

Pallis
I’m sure that she would care to hear your acumen, as to how your presence is the reason she is sick. But I suppose it’s in vain, since her life is ending, when I [bad word] this blade into her heart-a-thumping.

Adakias
Brother, no!

Pallis
Brother, what have I done? My blade has pierced your side. This was never my intent. O, God, please stay alive.

Adakias
Dear Pallis, you’re my brother. You’ve tried to protect me, but your dagger’s edge finding my flesh, it [bad word] was my destiny.

Pallis
Brother, I was shortsighted. I ignored your cries. You really are the chosen one, the calculated sacrifice.

Adakias
Please listen to my last words before I fade away. This is my gift to you “Live for your love every day.”

Pallis
Please don’t let your tired heart stop beating. You’re bleeding. Just keep breathing.

Adakias
You will take care of this spinning sphere. I’ll disappear and see you in the mirror.

Adakias, Pallis & Princess Anhura
Place your hand on mine one last time and kiss me goodbye. Take the love inside my mind before I die.

Adakias
Before I die. Please don’t cry.

Narration
The mountains seceded. The Light and Dark depleted. We lost Adakias, but regained our science. Our world was finally reunited. So this is my cue of where to leave you. Now it’s your story to retell and pass on, because an idea is only relevant if it’s being thought upon. So remember, never surrender, because the unrelenting constancy of love and hope will rescue and restore you from any scope.
