" One man's loss is another man's gain. "

- PROVERB

(The Next Day: Abandoned Castle, Somewhere in Romania, 5:45 AM)

Walking around the dungeon, the blue Kree tyrant and his aide inspected the area where his late accuser Lady Alcina Dimitrescu and Mira-Selah or Mother Miranda had perished during the raid from last night. The rest of the blue and pink skinned soldiers including their reptilian counterparts had come to investigate. They found the remains of the deceased allies of the corrupted Kree Empire. Just in front of them, there was a pale skinned man with sunken eyes. He had one eye missing, covered by an eyepatch. He wore a t-shirt that said Dead Man Walking, faded torn jeans and boots. His figure and build were rather thin and he walked with a stagger. His hair was slicked back and black.

The strange man waited for the tyrant and stood from a distance, watching and listening from their conversation. Kasius held his late accuser's hat as Sinara observed him and held her metallic balls on her left hand.

" Life is a fragile thing for Alcina. She may be worthy by deeds, but she failed to meet my expectations, " he seriously spoke.

" My lord, she could have been a better accuser than the one you despise, " Sinara answered.

" I don't want to talk about that bastard. I am thinking he had been sent along with his insolent company to destroy my worthy accuser. I could have ended his life in the first place. "

" That bloke was rescued from the hands of your loyal and attractive disciples. He could have been fed from that horrible freakshow, " the strange man spoke in a deep voice with a smooth English accent and shrugged. " I'm sure that the sleeping Prince of Hala has been escaped by his dear mummy and daddy along with his friends. "

Kasius cocked his eyebrows, turned to him and asked, " Who you might be? "

" The name's Deadeye Jake, mate, " he greeted and respectfully bowed at the blue skinned tyrant. " A faithful follower of Lady Mira-Selah and Lord Taryan. An experimental zombie from one of your Kree scientists. "

" What brings you here, Jake? "

" Just observing and spying at the place when I saw what had transpired last evening, " Jake answered and snapped his rotting fingers. " I saw the Prince of Hala's mummy and daddy blasted my bosses into ashes along with their friends. "

" Prince of Hala?! " the Kree tyrant sternly repeated the words as his eyes angrily squinted. " You mean the Kree Eternal's bastard?! Methu-Selah and Car-Ell could be there..."

" You don't have to tell me twice, boss, " the zombie chuckled and shrugged. " It could have been nice if I killed that despicable bloke and his team for good. "

Kasius rolled his eyes in disgust and sighed. He dropped the hat from the deceased accuser. Sinara was unamused and glaring his eyes on him. Jake loudly laughed and slapped his abdomen which he didn't take seriously.

" You were once a follower of my father, " the tyrant seriously answered. " I understand you spent a long time with him as a slave, but I'm afraid you're not worthy to be Alcina's replacement. "

" Look, I have been doing my job to spy and give information to all of you, " Jake said convincingly. " I may be dead, but still feisty and kicking. " Then, he flirtingly looked at Sinara and smirked, " Perhaps, I can teach your fair lady my best tricks! "

Sinara rolled her eyes and stepped away, becoming irritated at the weird looking Englishman. Deadeye Jake noticed her annoyance and gave the two Kree a boisterous laugh which the other Kree and Lizards had turned their attention.
