*Philomena enters the Great Hall and admires the latest gift from her guilt ridden father; a golden harp. She sits down and begins to play the most beautiful, gentle music. The servants and guards forget their duties momentarily and pause to listen.

Darl enters the room and smiles at the beautiful mermaid. For the first time since Philomena married him, she returns his smile warmly. *

*Darl nods his head towards Philomena and sits down. He closes his one good eye and a single tear trickles from beneath the lid, but he does not wipe it away. He sits and listens to the beautiful harp music, lost in his thoughs*.

Good evening Darl.

*Philomena continues to play.*

Your niece has demanded all my jewels...I have given her the ones you gave me and kept the ones my father gave me. That seemed fair.

*Darl stands up*.

What?!!!

*He overturns a table in his anger and it smashes apart against the wall. He reaches for his dagger*.

How dare she behave in such a way! I'll take her other eye for her insolence!

Calm yourself, you frighten me with these rages. I wasn't complaining about it, I don't mind about the jewels. Aren't I beautiful enough without them? Let her have them if it makes her happy.

*Philomena takes the dagger from him and places it on the sideboard.*

No doubt she feels insecure. She is in a strange country, you have taken a new wife who she has never met. Is it any wonder she wants to assert herself. It is not good for a young girl to keep to her room all day, perhaps she should join us for dinner sometimes? She needs to feel that I am not replacing her in your affections. Affections have no place in a marriage of alliance such as ours.

*She sighs and kisses his cheek*

Shall I continue playing until dinner or would you like a game of chess.

My Lord... the Scavengers bring news of Kal...

*He looks at Philomena and gives a low bow*

Forgive me your Grace. I did not realise you were here. You are dining together? It is good to see such marital harmony at last.

*His eyes stray to the broken table*

Master Avalay.

*Philomena nods and smiles*

Not bad news I hope?

*She glances at the smashed table nervously. *

Darl was... a little annoyed.

Avalay...

*He glares at the man*.

The Scavengers.... What have they brought me? And yes... I shall be dining here with Philomena.

*He looks at the mermaid*.

I should like you to play some more, as for my niece I will spare her, but if she troubles you further I will have her flogged.

*Darl looks back at Avalay*.

Allow Dryce to enter.... I should wish to speak to him... I hope his haul is a good one... I did ask for the heads of my strongest enemies....

*He looks grimly at Philomena*.

In Kanaran culture to drink from the skull of an enemy is to swallow their spirit and strength....

*He narrows his eye at Avalay*.

Many think such a thing barbaric, but it is barbarism that wins wars... So it will be with this one...

He brings you... news of...

* Derias looks at Philomena and looks uncomfortable*

My Lord. You are sure you want such a creature to be near your wife? She is a princess of delicate sensitivity and Dryce is... well the worst of men.

*He sighs and goes to the door. He signals for Dryce to enter*

Here.... you'd best tell the Overlord all you know and hand the Princess the book.

Yes Darl, I shall play for you as you wish.

*Philomena trembles and looks sick*

I hope you don't expect me to drink from any skulls. The dead should be treated with honour and respect.

*She hurries to the harp and begins to play*

I am far more suited to the life of pleasure than a life of a barbarian. Please don't have your niece flogged, her pain would pain me too. Perhaps I should visit her and we can talk girl to girl. She must be lonely.

*The mermaid shudders as Dryce enters the room.*

Who is that? I can see death all about him.
