"Ahh yes... and so do the enemies of the Serpent meet their fate hahahah.... hahahahaHA...HAH! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!"
Vigo descends into hysterics, and taking his cue, the entireity of the Great Hall starts to laugh with him.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! You killed this man nd brought his sabre here just to prove your good faith and loyalty! HAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAA! That's the funniest thing I have heard in years! Oh MYYYYYY! HAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAA! Ohhh, great Gods have merrrrrrrcy on me... did you ever hear something ridiculous, Bora?"
"Never, father! Shall I have them killed?"
"What? NOOOO! Hah!" He turns back to Takuan and Tanic. "No, let them oplay their silly little games. Everyone who comes here does so with some agenda. Your plots and spoils and strategems will simply be absorbed into everyone elses... a game of yours, Jena?"
"Not this time, Daddy! But they do amuse."
"Ahh well... I have long since learned to be amused by watching all these things play off against each other... one conspiracy inevitably kills the next... perhaps it will work to my advantage, hmm? HAAHAAHAAHAAHAA! Of course, needless to say... cross the Serpent, and you will find why I am feared throughout the Galaxy... as any traitorous cell will soon discover.
"Aha! Too much, tooooooo much! Now!" he says, turning around, "what is to be done with all this?" he says, prodding at Galder and the Champ.
"I would like to take care of the newcomer, Daddy," says Jena.
"HAH! If they aren't yours now, I see they soon will be... of course, of course, by all means, take him away... people might trip over him..."
Things start to return to normal. Two of Jena's heavies pick up Galder.
"Ok then, folks, it is now your duty to entertain me!" comes a cry from the far side of the hall. A young, rather thin guy just came in, sharpyl dressed with a drastically 'modern' haircut. His crewe is a motley association of alien types- Rodians, Dugs, Grans, Trandoshans... all of who, are brightly coloured, or with spikey hairstyles, and dangling jewelry. "Now, who is going to... uh-oh..." he finishes, when he sees the crowd already assembled in here.
Gallador calmly judges the situation and whispers to Rand:
"Master, it seems Takuan has assumed the lead but his skills didn`t achieve anything. What is your plan? Maybe we can play a double game with Jena? Shall I inform Bora secretly that Jena brought us here?. He is a bully that could be manipulated, not like Jena or this Mika."
Ushgarak, how strong minded Bora seems to be?
