Hey there, guys! I'm back with the next chapter! I really hope you like it, as it reveals a bit of important information. If you want some more background information about Mutaku, you can find it on my profile! And now, the reviews.

Wendy Pierce: Thanks for reviewing! Now, let's see how this alliance will work out, as well as a (little bit of) background on Mutaku.

Vanessa: This chapter has a little bit of background information (correct and extended background information can be found on my profile), but you'll have to wait a little longer to know who the host is. If I say who it is now, some of the suspense is taken away. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Enjoy!

"Okay then. What are we waiting for? Let's go get him!" Boz said a little too enthusiastic and he started to walk to the double doors, but stopped in his tracks. He turned back to Mason – this was guard business. And the sooner they found Mutaku, the sooner he could get to know his lost triplet brother and hopefully like him more than he did now. To be honest, he didn't really like Brady right now, probably because he thought them being brothers was a joke set up by Boomer.

"But your majesty, we don't know here he is." Mason immediately said. If they really were to go looking for him, it would take years before they've finally found him. Boz shrugged.

"Then you make sure you find him, okay?" The redheaded king commanded his advisor, "Send out patrols, hand out flyers, I don't care! I just want him to be behind bars!"

"I will do something about the situation," Mason replied carefully, "but it won't be like you suggested. There are too many Kinkowians. We will ask to report anyone who acts strange to us. People possessed by Mutaku normally don't act like themselves."

"Where did you get that information?" Brady asked.

"It's all in the Great Book," Mason explained, "If you want to look it up, it's on the page titled 'Lady Mutaku Tivelani'." He was about to walk out to tell the guards what they had to do, but Boomer's reaction made him stay a little longer.

"Wait, Mutaku is a woman?" He exclaimed, clearly very surprised, "But every time you talked about him… her… anyway, you always used 'he'!"

"She prefers male hosts," was Mason's short answer. Then, he left the throne room. They could guess he'd tell Mikayla first and then they would tell the other guards and the citizens what they were supposed to do. As soon as the Sasquatch was out of sight, Brady suggested they read Mutaku's page in the Great Book. That way, they would know what they're up against.

"Good idea." Boomer agreed and Boz simply nodded. Boz went to get the Great Book – he was the strongest of the three – and soon, they were reading all information there was to be found about Lady Mutaku Tivelani.

In the meantime, Lanny had left his room and was walking through the castle corridors, ready to go downstairs. He had to confront Brady at some point, so let's just get this over with. As soon as he was downstairs, he would pretend to be glad about Brady's return, only to quickly return to his room and create another lethal plan which possibly would fail again.

He walked through a long and dark corridor. There was only one candle present, in the middle of the hallway, not enough to lighten up the entire hallway. The normal lights were broken and were supposed to be fixed one week ago. He passed the candle, unable to see either end of the corridor.

"Lanny." He turned around. There was nobody behind him. He looked back at the front and again saw the darkness. Someone was out there, he could feel it. Someone was trying to talk to him and to be honest, he was slightly scared about who it could be. he guessed it was a woman, since the voice sounded quite feminine.

"Who's there?" he boldly asked, looking at both sides. There was a silence, lasting ten seconds – but it seemed longer for the hobbit – before the voice gave an answer.

"I am the writer of the note." He thought back at the note, which still lay on his desk. Then he knew it was Mutaku who was contacting him. How did she – apparently, not a "he" – know he agreed to work together.

"Wow, you're fast," he reacted, still not knowing where to look in order to talk to Mutaku. He kept looking left and right, indecisive to which side he should choose. "Say, er, where are you exactly?"

"Does that matter?" Mutaku said and Lanny decided to just look to the candle instead, "All that matters is that we can understand each other loud and clear." Lanny waited for his ally to continue talking, but there came no sound. So after waiting a minute or two, Lanny started talking.

"So, I heard you want to get rid of the Kings," he said, "Well, then you've found the right guy to work with. I have quite the experience and I'm sure that…"

"I know," Mutaku interrupted him, "and you always failed miserably. Do you know why?" Lanny felt embarrassed and angered. He had no idea where the courage of Mutaku came from to say interrupt him and say it right in the face, but if the insult had been any worse, she would be thrown into the dungeon.

"No." was his answer. Mutaku didn't hesitate.

"Because you can be really incompetent sometimes! If the time for you to run and hide was shorter, you probably would've succeeded a couple times."

"I can't help it!" Lanny said in his defense, "they always have…"

"…dumb luck, I know. But what if you were to execute my plans? They follow the same structure as yours, so you'll only need to obey me and do as I say. There is always room for improvement, and that's why I've recruited you. Together, we will take down the Kings and soon, they will understand what real power is."

"I like the way you think," Lanny said, a smile forming on his face, "So, do you have any ideas on how to get rid of the Kings?"

"Yes I have," Mutaku replied, and Lanny got excited, "But I am not going to completely share it with you. I do not want this plan to fail because of your incompetence." Lanny's smile faded when he heard these words, especially the last one. Seriously, what was this woman's source of her information? There were a lot of people who called him angry, more called him 'evil' and only one or two percent would call him 'misunderstood', but nobody has ever called him incompetent.

"Trust me, I am not as incompetent as you think I am." Lanny replied. "I can handle it! I won't fail!"

"I still won't tell you the plan until it is time for you to complete it." Mutaku said and Lanny sighed in annoyance.

"Will you at least tell me what I'm supposed to do?" Lanny said.

"Poison," was Mutaku's answer, "You will poison one of the Kings in due time. if you go to your room and open your closet, you will find a bottle filled with poison. I'll tell you later when you can use it."

Lanny scoffed. "Do you really think I can't get my own? But thanks for saving me the trouble."

"You can go. I'm done with you now." Mutaku said, and those were the last words he'd hear from her today. He waited for some more minutes, but then decided to leave her and go back to his room. He needed to know if she lied or not. He entered his room and immediately opened his closet. Like she promised, there stood a bottle with the classic crossed bones and skull sign on it. He smiled to himself, ignoring Yama's questions.

He couldn't wait to use this poison.
