(Zachaeus and his disciples come into the scene)
Zachaeus: Azinah, the powerful one.
Azinah: (calms down, scared) How did this happen to me? How did I do this?
Zachaeus: Were you struck by a lightning in your eyes?
Azinah: Yes! Something struck my eyes, and my father went to see the Sage. He came back and told me we have to go and see the king. And then
all these happened.
Zachaeus: Let me help you. I can teach you how to control your powers. I can teach you how to use them.
Azinah: What are my powers?
Zachaeus: The Split Eye has been activated. You are the Split Eye.
Azinah: What’s the Split Eye? (confused)
Zachaeus: I will tell you everything. We have to leave this land now.
Azinah: Why?
Zachaeus: You will be exploited if you stay in Lailand. A Lailander just killed your father and tried to rape you, an innocent girl. What do you think will happen if they get to know about your powers?
Azinah:(starts to sob) But I love Nipen, I don’t want to leave him.
Zachaeus: Nipen’s father killed your father, and you killed Nipen’s father. What do you think Nipen will do when he finds out you killed his father?
Azinah: (continues crying) I’m totally confused
(One of Zachaeus’ disciples leads Azinah away).
Zachaeus: (to one of his disciples) Burn the Chief’s Guard body, the Sage must not know we used a spell on him.

(The Next Day)
(The citizens are surprised to see the dead bodies on the street. They are more scared of the dark night. They see dead people just as prophesized.
The Sage and AgePie are examining the bodies).
The Sage: The woes have started. This is war, this is trouble. The king’s friend was murdered (Dalsmy arrives).
Dalsmy: (angry) Sage, is it true Mity was murdered? (he sees the dead bodies) How are you
so sure Dalsmy is here?
The Sage: My King, I am not an amateur (points to a dead body) This is your friend, Mity.
Dalsmy: (sad) Ah! War is here. Why was his body more burnt than the others? Who did this?
The Sage: (sighs) My king, the Split Eye killed them. He burnt them alive.
AgePie: But there must be a reason he burnt the Chief Guard to this extent.
Dalsmy: (surprised) The Split Eye? Has it been activated?
The Sage: I wasn’t prepared to discover, so I didn’t know when it was activated. But with this,
I can boldly tell you that it has been activated. And he did this.
Dalsmy: (sad) The Split Eye is our enemy. Can you reveal him now? (Nipen and Habbath get to
the scene. They are shown their father’s body).
Nipen: (crying) Who did this? Who killed my father? (Removes his sword) The Sage, please tell
me who did this. I have to kill the person myself.
The Sage: (sadly) Little one, just console yourself and your brother, this matter is beyond you. The Split Eye killed him.
Nipen: Whoever that is, I must take revenge.
The Sage: (to the King) I have the Powder of Dampa, but I am not sure if it can be used yet. I
still need to…
Dalsmy: (interrupts him) Sage, let’s risk it. We have to find out the Split Eye before he goes on
killing more.
The Sage: Aye, Your Highness. (he brings out the powder) You have to spit on the powder, Your
Highness (he uses magic to hold the powder particles in the air. Dalsmy spits on it and the
powder starts to vibrate irrationally) Ala Mah Sah
Yay Ehi Ama Shi Lah Shi Kah (Azinah appears inside the circle made by the Dampa. People are
shocked to see that the Split Eye is a girl)
Nipen: (shocked) Azinah, you are the Split Eye. You killed my father? (angry) Azinah, you have to pay for this.
Azinah: (chuckles) As predicted. So, this is what Lailand is about. Evil upon evil, woe upon woe,
Powerless being threatening a god, passing of judgment without know the truth.
To be continued .....
