GM Note:<br/><br/>If the wizard was wounded by the Princess’s denial of his arm, he did not look it.  Indeed, his countenance, impassive as ever, looked exactly like it did on the eve he visited her father’s temple.<br/><br/>“Great Sheik,” he had said, “you dine with snakes, and you shall be ruined.  I alone possess the knowledge to preserve your kingdom.  I shall share what I know and more.”<br/><br/>And what had the sheik answered in return?  Yes, it was this: “And what will it cost me?”<br/><br/>“I want that which you covet most of all, Great Sheik.  Give me your daughter.”<br/><br/>His face appeared much the same way as when he appeared to save her from certain doom on the night her kingdom fell. She did not take his hand then, either.<br/><br/>Twin was struggling to repair something that perhaps could not be fixed.  To remedy a mistake that could not be remedied.  He had thought that the Sheik would have given anything to save his kingdom, and alas, he was wrong.<br/><br/>The wizard followed Princess Aishah and Zain, but walked past them when they entered the tap room and moved towards the bar.  His immediate presence resulted in a sort of stupification to the patrons within.  Their merriness was not so merry now that he had entered.  Twin approached what looked like a steward’s chair and gestured to some seats nearby.<br/><br/>”I alone possess the knowledge to preserve your kingdom,” he said.  ”I shall share what I know and more.  You already know what I want.”
