SET:

So have they all. They no longer

see clearly.

TIAMAT:

(DISDAINFUL)

They're beginning to think like

Humans to our own ends.

(off his look)

Yes, we will be bound by great

Zeus' rules... until their fragile

membranes tear. We dare not

interfere with these insects...

CONTINUED:

TIAMAT (CONT'D)

but we may be invited to

intervene.

Tiamat flicks the obsidian into the reflecting pool --

sides... a tiny tempest.

EXT. THE AGORA (MARKETPLACE) OF JOPPA - DAY

The long war with the Gods has wounded this city, but

life goes stubbornly on. Among the war-torn buildings is

a bustling market. CITIZENS eye the wares. MERCHANTS,

PERFORMERS, noise, and MUSIC.

JOPPA, CAPITAL OF THE DOMINION OF ILLYRIA

Suddenly the market falls SILENT. Fear grips the crowd.

An occurrence rare in the world of Men -- AN OLYMPIAN

APPROACHES.

The clouds stop dead. The crowd stops. TIME STOPS. A

PRESENCE WE DO NOT SEE moves to the BASILICA, the royal

residence and assembly hall.
