" im sorryu who are you "

"skeksis we are your highness skeksies"

Suddenly there was a scream from a woman in the Gardens. It woke the Queen from her slumber. She called over a maid.

"Quickly child. Tell me, what is happening outside and where is my husband? How long have I been asleep. Where is the Mystic?"
Before the maid could answer, a deep melodic voice answered her questions.

"I am still here your Majesty. And the scream was that of a girl, but your husband is outside. I fear that they have become aware of the prophecy as well and fearing their own doom they may be taking drastic measures."

"They?" The Queen said.

"Aye. The Skeksis were born as we were born Majesty. They one side, and we the other."
