Enter THREE MONKS
MONK 1: The carelessness and nonchalance of man shall doom the lives of th'innocent.
MONK 2: To account, the guilty shall not be held.
MONK 3: But the blame shall land on the one who cared the most in the realm.
MONK 2: A mystic once said:.

MONK 2: This cannot be more true for ye shall witness after a moon 'n' sennight since this day on which the lesser light exposes itself,.
MONK 3: The mystic's words echo through the lives of many, many men.
MONK 1: Man and woman, son and daughter. Cast a ward over thyself and shield thy members from the lamentations of this future.
ALL: [raising hands in the air] Halt thy steps for a fortnight as afterwards, the scourge of Mother Earth and what sleeps beneath shall emerge and crawl out of th'crevices 'n' cracks of this mutilated land.
[a foul and eerie ring/sound is heard]
[Exeunt
