Chapter Three, Episode 20: The Shadows Move
An old, hunched man walks slowly down a stone corridor, the sound of his staff, cracking against the marbled floor, fills the hallways. He wears meagre clothes and a cowl, obscuring his face. He approaches a set of large oak doors, guarded by two soldiers in light armour.
As he stops, the guards lower and cross their pole arms.
"What business do you have here, old one. You were not summoned by the regent?"
The old man makes a swift upward movement with his free hand and the top of both the weapons fall, cleanly cut, to the ground.
"Nor will I ever BE summoned, you brainless ape!" His voice is low and harsh, with strange background clicks. "Now stand aside."
The guards move back in terror as he easily opens the doors.
"I have information for our...regent...."
