I can't believe I'm doing this. I should be supporting my father not this. Three years wasted. I pace around my room. I hope the Soothsayer will complete her mission. Let's hope I can make this right. I hear the door open. I see Maya and the three, along with the prince and her parents. 

"I guess I should start with an apology." I say. 

I lower my knees. I bow. 

"You were only doing it to get your father's love. I can understand that." Maya said.

"We all can." Chimi said. 

King Teca approached me. 

"I am sorry this happened to you boy." He said pointing at my metal hand.

"Eh. I think I kind of deserved it." I say standing up. 

"No one deserves that for showing mercy." Pichu said. 

"So, what's the plan?" Zatz asked. 

"There's only one way for my father to come down the throne." I say taking my spear. 

"Which is?" Rico asked. 

"A challenge. I must challenge my father to be the rightful Lord of Gogmen city." I say. 

"How risky is that?" Maya said. 

"There's a ninety percent chance that he'll kill me, but that's a risk I'm willing to take." I say. 

"Wait, what should we do?" Chimi asked. 

"Get the prisoners out." Maya said. 

"You sure you can do this?" Rico asked me. 

"Eh fifty-fifty." I say.

"Those odds are good enough." I say.
