Recite the Orb’s Hymn seven times every 2.5 hours while facing the Sanctuary

Never under any circumstance enter the Sanctuary of the Orb. To do so is punishable by death

Walk barefoot on the fifth day of the week in reverence to the Orb

Never wear a headband when walking within the shadow of the Sanctuary. To do so is to disrespect the Orb

Never challenge the authority of an AREA Enforcer

Cody scanned down to the bottom of the list that numbered 232 rules. Poe skipped merrily up beside Cody. “Ss-splendid aren’t they? I can recite each one by heart. All Atlantis citizens can; we are taught to as children.” The mention of children jerked something in Cody’s mind. It suddenly occurred to him that he had yet to see a single child in the entire city. He opened his mouth to inquire about it but a shriek from Poe cut him off, “It’s him!”

Cody followed the servant’s eyes to a man approaching the building. Like the Enforcers he had witnessed earlier, the man had a dark red sash across his chest. However, instead of a red headband, he wore a large red hat. Cody had to fight to suppress a chuckle at the ridiculousness of the head attire. Poe leaned over and whispered gleefully, “T-tthat man there is Sli Silkian, head of the AREA. Outside of the royal family, he is the most powerful man in Atlantis.”

The man had a face like a panther and walked with a cool confidence. As he reached the building he gave one quick glance to where Cody and Jade were standing. His beady raven eyes connected with Cody’s. In that brief instant Cody felt as though a wave of disdain was passed into him. He shuddered. The man quickly disappeared through the door and was gone.

Poe was rambling on excitedly about how Silkian had revolutionized Orb worship, but Cody tuned him out. His contact with the stranger had been brief, but for some reason Cody couldn’t escape the sickening feeling in his stomach that in that one short stare, he had just made a very powerful enemy.
