Continuation
Woes of the dark night 6
Zachaeus: I didn’t manipulate her, I turn her into a god, into what she wants to become.
The Sage: I can now fully understand the whole game. Azinah’s father was coming to meet me, but you crossed him to surrender Azinah to you.
He refused, and wanted to take Azinah to the King. He refused you, so he’s of no use to you
anymore. You mind-controlled the Chief Guard to kill him, and try to rape the Split Eye. You used that to manipulate the girl and turned her into evil.
Zachaeus: (claps his hands) You really completed the puzzle.
The Sage: You also burnt the Chief Guard’s body, so I wouldn’t find the traces of your spell on him. You planned everything well, so I won’t be able to
link you to the deeds.
Zachaeus: I have been preparing for this night for years. I had everything in control. You have nothing to prove my involvement.
The Sage: Zachaeus, why must you do all these? Haven’t you let gone of old grudges?
Zachaeus: I was supposed to the Sage. I am quite older. Why did the gods choose you? I know
you manipulated the whole thing. I was supposed to be the most respected, the high priest, the powerful one, but you took my position.
The Sage: You know the gods can’t be manipulated in that way. I was chosen. If it was
something I could give to you, you know I wouldn’t have a second thought.
Zachaeus: Shut up! Why didn’t the gods choose me? I was righteous too. I followed all the paths laid down for us to follow. I did everything to become the Sage. Everyone was expecting me to be, but you stole it. But now, I am more powerful, even than you are.
The Sage: That was because you ate the Evil Seed. You know you weren’t supposed to, but you did, just to become more powerful than me.
Zachaeus: I wanted to be powerful than the Sage, and now I am. I wanted to be the Sage all my life, but now I am more powerful than that. I have no regrets.
The Sage: You ate the evil seed. No matter how powerful you become, you know the
consequences of eating the evil seed.
Zachaeus: I am ready to sacrifice everything. I don’t care.
The Sage: (surprised) So, Zachaeus, you really are ready to… Oh! You’ve really turned evil totally. There’s no going back for you.
Zachaeus: I don’t plan to.
The Sage: So, why are you here? I know you must have a reason for being here.
Zachaeus: Brother, you should know why I’m here.
The Sage: (laughs) I know you’re here for the Apple of Jayanah. Do you think I will let you have
it? If the Apple of Jayanah leaves Lailand, all hope will be lost. Do you think I will let that
happen?
Zachaeus: Why are you fighting for a lost cause? The Split Eye has already seen the doom of
Lailand. Let’s end everything right from the start. You can be a god. Work with me, come to
Exelung, let’s become gods, let’s rule the world.
The Sage: (chuckles) Evil seed at work. You were born in Lailand. Lailand is the mother of all other
lands. You should be working to end the dark days, not working to allow it. You have exploited
the Split Eye, we will have the taviour. I will be ready when the taviour is activated.
Zachaeus: Do you think you can beat me? I have everything under control. I know the exact period the taviour will be activated. I know secrets your
King is keeping from you all. I know things you can’t imagine. I told you, I am fully prepared.
The Sage: My king can’t keep any secret from me.
Zachaeus: That’s it. You are in a land of woes, where you can’t even trust yourself. You are
hiding things from your King (the sage looks scared, knowing he is caught). Your king is also
hiding things from you. This land is dead right from the start.
The Sage: No matter what, you can’t manipulate me. You can’t get the Apple of Jayanah. I won’t let you have it.
Zachaeus: Remember, I gave you the chance to redeem yourself.

(On a bright new day, a lady can be seen harvesting crops in the farm. Suddenly, series of
snakes start to attack her. She was bitten to coma by the snakes).
