ACT III SCENE I - THE EMPRESS' JOURNEY
(The stage is lit in red tones.)
The Taiying Empress: And with this Dragon's Pearl I shall convert our band of refugees into my mighty empire!
Guard 1: Yes, your highness. I would follow you anywhere.
(The Empress presses the Dragon Pearl to Guard 1's forehead and he begins to scream.)
Guard 1: I can feel it, the Corruption tearing apart my mortal soul, twisting it! Oh, the agony!
(A mask with rubies where the eyes are is placed upon Guard 1's head from the prop trapdoor.)
Guard 2: I cannot fall to the same fate, I must flee!
The Taiying Empress: As my loyal subject you will submit to the Corruption. It will make you strong where you are now weak, and afraid.
(Guards 3 and 4 hold down Guard 2 so the Empress can press the Dragon Pearl to Guard 2's forehead as he begins to scream.)
The Taiying Empress: Rise, rise my champions! You will all have the gift of Corruption soon enough!
(Lights out.)
