SCENE 1.

                               SOLARIS

                   KINGDOM OF MIRROR

                               PALACE

The guards were looking at Cepheus terrified as Cepheus was sitting on the throne wearing his bloody robes. His bloody hands resting on the throne as the advisor stood in front of him, it was still night and the entire palace was covered in Cepheus's bloody footsteps.

Advisor-Long live the new king Cepheus....

Cepheus smiled gently as everyone bowed.

Cepheus-I want you to find Virgo and bring her to the dungeons.

Some guards left.

Cepheus-Bring Libra and Scorpio to me....

The guard left.

Cepheus-And you, gather some guards and put the bodies of those I killed outside of the palace, do not bury them, I want to see them rot....

The advisors looked at him terrified.

Advisor-The smell will ....

Cepheus-I said I want to see them rot!

The advisor kept quiet and they all left as the guards brought in Libra and Scorpio, they were in shackles.

Cepheus-Leave us.

The guards left as Libra and Scorpio looked at him terrified. Cepheus turned to Cephei and Scorpio and Libra looked at him terrified.

Cepheus-Our siblings and parents....the last face they saw was the one they hated so much....

Libra-Cephei....

Cepheus-Hello Libra and Scorpio....

Scorpio-We thought you were dead.

Cephei-Yes and you mourned me ...

They kept quiet.

Cepheus-You could not even say one good thing about me on my own birthday, even after I died!

Libra and Scorpio kept quiet.

Cepheus-What was it that I did, that you hated me so such?!

Libra-Cephei please have mercy....

Cepheus looked at them.

Scorpio-We were wrong....

Cepheus-Yes unfortunately for you, now that I have murdered our family....

Libra and Scorpio looked at him.

Cepheus-I will imprison Virgo and I will find Gemini, Aquarius and Pisces and they too shall beg for mercy and then I will decide what I want to do with you.
