Abbadon looked at the gypsy that knelt before hi. His son Akim stood to his left, while he himself sat on his throne. This one is different from the others, he thought. "You may spare this one, guards," he said, "for I am in dire need of a new entertainer, seeing as how my last one failed me so." He turned to the head guard. "You may return her 'weapon' to her, captain." The head guard handed her the tambourine. Abbadon turned to his son. "Akim, show the gypsy to her new room."<br/>Akim bowed to his father, and gestured for the gypsy to follow him.
