The courtyard of Emmaleigh's manor. JACK ATLAS lounges on a luxurious couch, surrounded by her followers. EMMALEIGH stands nearby, looking conflicted.

JACK ATLAS

my love, why dost thou appear so vexed?Come, rest beside me. Let us relish the twilight.

EMMALEIGH

I... I've been hearing whispers. The people art restless, Yu hath returned and is gathering an army.

JACK ATLAS

Yu? That insignificant wretch? Pay no heed to rumors, my love. He beareth no danger to us.

EMMALEIGH

But what doth if he hath come to challeng'd us? What if he's hither to reclaim New Diamono?

JACK ATLAS

And what of it? Have we not built a realm most beautiful here? Let Yu come. He shall see, ere long, that his power pales before our own.

EMMALEIGH

(looking into his eyes) Thou art right. Together, we are invincible.

A MESSENGER enters hurriedly.

MESSENGER

Thine Highness, tidings from the marketplace. Yu is gathering supporters. They doth intend to meet at the dueling arena this night.

JACK ATLAS 

[laughs]How foreseen. Emmaleigh, shall we partake in this small congregation? 'Twould be mirthful to witness their vain endeavors.

EMMALEIGH (nods) Aye, let us do so. 'Tis time Yu comprehends the fresh order of things.

(to her followers) Ready yourselves. This night, we call to mind New Diamono who verily possesses might.

JACK ATLAS and EMMALEIGH exit, followed by her entourage.
