Breaking the Cages

Zhang Yang replied immediately, "Naga King. I assume that you have a brilliant idea?"

Cynapor laughed. "Brilliant? Wrong there. I’d called it the last measure. That idiot Julio is our answer. Didn’t he want my head? Then, a head he shall get. I’d bet the Trident of Poseidon that he would take the head to meet Madran! When he does, I want you to follow him! That is how you can sneak past the magic seal."

Joe Was suddenly grew anxious. There was a glint of panic in his eyes. "My king, you are our king! The King of Naga! Without your leadership, we would be nothing but wandering soldiers!"

Cynapor sighed and smacked Joe Was lightly at the back of his head. "You fool. Do you think that I would take my own head off for the death of a simple human? I never said that I would give him my head. I will use magic to create a head. The human warrior could take the fake one and trick the idiot Julio!"

"Phew! That freaked me out!" Joe Was calmed down.
