Act four

(At night, Soh sleeping in his room. He had a nightmare of him talking to the ocean spirit beneath the ocean).

Soh: What th... Where am I? (Seeing himself floating under the ocean).

Ocean spirit:(Appeared with an echoing voice). Annie your daughter has been chosen to return the heart back to its source.

Soh: What! are you insane? This girl you're talking about is my only child.

Ocean spirit: If she does not go in search of the heart and return it back to its source then no one else will go. The darkness will continue to spread till it gets to your land.

Soh: As you wish my Lord. (He bow his head). She will do it.

Ocean spirit: Early in the morning, she must get ready and set for the journey. (The voice stops as Soh woke up seeing Zina already awake).

Soh: Why are you not asleep?

Zina: How could he choose Annie our only daughter?

Soh: You also had the dream?

Zina:(Becomes sad). I can't allow Annie go this dangerous journey. I don't want to loose her the way we lost our first son.

Soh:(Zina laid her head in his chest). Don't worry, Annie will go and come back home safe with the aid of the ocean spirit. The ocean spirit appointed her for a reason, so I'm assured that she is safe. (He holds Zina as light fades).
