'That wasn't supposed to happen, Corbulo,' raged the Emperor.

'I know, sire. I am as baffled as you are.'

'Make sure tomorrow's event goes more to plan.'

'Yes, Gnaeus. It has already been arranged. '

'Good. Now, let's make it look like we are as pleased with the result as our audience is.'

'Yes, we will have to.'

The two statesmen slid around, sharing pleasantries with the guests, as the two brothers strode back to their rooms.

'What! How on earth are you both alive?' gasped Ronu.

'I think the General's plan backfired,' answered Lyall stoically.

'Tell us how you did it,' urged Clebe.

'You imagine the devil in front of you, all your fears and nightmares in one form, and then you find courage from within,' answered Namir. 'You reach inside yourself, to your totem, to your instincts, and focus hard. But most importantly, you have to believe.'

'When you feel that you have all the strength of your totem to suck the energy from your enemy, its pumping blood and its breathing heart, then you can finally take the life from it,' continued Lyall focusing his venom on Targ and Suma. 'And it helps if you have an amazing brother—the one who has your back.'

Namir smiled at the tribute and embraced his twin.

The captured boys rejoiced at the unity and found strength in their solidarity. This gave them a platform. This raised their spirits. For Namir and Lyall, they could now relax a little. For the others, the General's depravation had reached another level.
