ALEENA Why not?

ORACLE I can't explain. It just wont.

Aleena grits her teeth angrely, then she lets go of the Oracle.

ORACLE Listen up, your Majesty, I'm not the one who makes the rules.

Aleena looks up at him.

ORACLE (CONT.) I'm not the one who makes the choices. Nor is the fact of Robotnik's tyranny, or of you having to give up your children?

ALEENA (angrely) Then who is?

ORACLE No one. (pause) Everyone! God! Who knows? All I know is that you must give up your children and separate them in order for the prophacy to come true.

ORACLE You have to give them up!

ALEENA (yelling) Oracl, calm down!

The Oracle stops and looks at Aleena.

ALEENA I was just faking it.

ORACLE Why did you do that?

Aleena walks closer to the Oracle.

ALEENA Because a fear is when the one thing that haunts you on the one thing you love will be gone. You're fear is of the Oracle caves gone. My love is my children and I don't want them gone. I wanted to let you get a taste of what I'm feeling. How did you like it?
