He rounds a corner near some large domed buildings. A group of royal guards spots him. One of them points his spear and shouts, "HALT! ARE YOU ONE OF THE REBELS!?" Koza skids to a stop, confronted by the armed guards blocking his path. Page 10: The royal guards confront Koza. One warns him, "If you're not involved in the fighting, then you better leave this city as soon as possible!" Another adds, "Do you realize the situation you're in!? Past here is the royal palace!" Koza pants, listening. A guard yells, "THIS IS NO PLACE FOR YOU TO B-" but is interrupted. "DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID!?" Suddenly, a voice calls out. The guards turn in surprise, "PRINCESS VIVI!?" Princess Vivi appears, looking battered, dirty, and exhausted, panting heavily. She pleads urgently, "PLEASE TAKE ME TO CHAKA! THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED HIM TO DO!"
