Mumm-Ra's Reaction
Standing before Mumm-Ra in his pyramid, Donalbain made his report to Mumm-Ra. At both the Valley of the Tombs and Wilusa the Labinnac had met with failure. It was impossible.
"You say the Labinnac were defeated at both the Valley of the Tombs and Wilusa?" asked Mumm-Ra. "You dare to lie to me? I granted you your invulnerability! Do you wish for me to take it away?"
"No, Dark One." Replied Donalbain. "I do not wish for my invulnerability to be taken away. I do not lie to you. I… left the Valley of the Tombs the moment Melyk arrived."
"WHAT!" Mumm-Ra took three steps towards Donalbain. "Your orders were to stay there until the Valley of the Tombs was conquered! Why have you disobeyed me?"
"I… grew bored, Dark One." Confessed Donalbain. "Forgive me…"
"Forgive you?" asked Mumm-Ra, angered by the very suggestion of being forgiving. "I am not the forgiving type! Get out of my sight until you have brought me something of use!"
Donalbain bowed his head and left the chamber. This was a better day than the usual. Usually Mumm-Ra would have taken out his anger on his invulnerable Evabon with lightning bolts.
As Donalbain passed Orsino playing dice with some Labinnac, Pumyra caught his eye. Walking towards her, Donalbain let his eyes drink her beauty. Her back was turned to him and she was inspecting some weaponry.
Reaching out an arm, Donalbain showed a rare gentleness and caressed Pumyra's brown hair. Pumyra turned and scratched him across the face.
"I am not to be pawed at, creature!" she hissed. Ever she had that tone with him. They were close, both loving and hating each other, so no one ever knew how an interaction between them would turn out.
"Yet I shall do so nonetheless, pythoness." Returned Donalbain. "Mumm-Ra has called you beloved and he has dismissed me until I have brought him something of use."
"So, why do you come to me?" asked Pumyra.
"Of how much use would be Lion-O's head?"
