Part VI:
Exposition: Genvissa begins the Dance of Torches with Brutus.
Beginning the game as it was with a very powerful Mistress and Kingman is an ingenious idea. They finish the dance by going back to Brutus’ newly built palace and consummating the bond, becoming lovers.
Rising Action: Cornelia walks in and tries to stop her husband.
Trying to hold onto nothing, Cornelia pounded at her husband’s back thinking that the right hit would knock some sense into him. Sleeping with another woman, the nerve! Not knowing what to do since her feeble attempts were becoming effortless…
Climax: Cornelia takes Coel as her lover.
Having seen that Brutus won’t come back to her, Cornelia hunts after that spark she felt with Coel. Coel was an understanding kind of guy. Also, he wanted to help Cornelia destroy what Brutus and Genvissa had wrought.
Falling Action: The Grand Finale.
The preparations for the Dance of Flowers begins. Genvissa and Brutus separately practice the dance over and over, writing their moves in the stone contained in their minds so they won’t forget. The Labyrinth waits for them, praying for completion.
Resolution: The End or the New Beginning?
Genvissa and Brutus were about to start the final steps to finish the game, completely close it up forever so that no evil would come to that land what so ever. Cornelia stabbed Genvissa’s throat, right in the side of her neck, to the hilt, with a twisted bone-handled knife. Genvissa said, “Listen all you marked in blood, dance with me through deadly vale through birth again until the day we stand afresh at this gate, the dance to the end, the Game to play, the flowers to grow, the walls to hold ‘gainst fear and flame. Dance with me, dance with me, never shake me free. Dance with me, dance with me, never shake me free.
