Sindel gives her orders

Sindel waits for 10 minutes, when the doors finally open and one of her daughters walks in

Kitana: You called us mother

Sindel: Yes, I did Kitana, Where is your sister

Kitana: She'll be here in a moment, She was busy

Sindel: With what, or should I say with whom

Kitana: with Tanya

Sindel: Oh for God's sake

The doors open again a couple of minutes later, and Sindel's other daughter walks in

Sindel: Your late Mileena

Mileena: I'm sorry mother, I was busy with something else

Sindel: We'll talk about that later, We have a problem

Kitana: What's the matter mother

Sindel: A group of adventurers have crossed the border and entered my empire

Mileena: Do they have a death wish

Kitana: I doubt they crossed the border without someone paying them to do it

Sindel: Exactly, but who would pay them to do that

Mileena: You want a name? There are plenty of people who hate you, Mother

Sindel: True, but they also fear me, they would be too afraid to do something like this

Sindel: Any more guesses

Kitana: Well, the most likely were hired outside of the empire through one of the guilds

Sindel: Yes and

Kitana: Those two women from the village just outside the border, we captured

Mileena: You mean those two that came inside the empire without permission

Kitana: Didn't they say there were tracking a thief

Mileena: an obvious lie

Sindel: Their reason doesn't matter, they crossed the border without my permission, so they must be punished

Kitana: What will you have us do

Sindel: You both are eager to become my heir, Prove that you have what it takes, bring me the leader of the Adventurers Party here

Kitana & Mileena: as you wish mother

Sindel: But you'll do it from within the city

Mileena: What, how do you expect to catch this guy

Sindel: There is a virus going around, I don't want my daughters to get infected by it, so both of you will choose a champion, and only they will be allowed to leave the city to look for the adventurers

Sindel: Is that clear

Kitana: Yes, mother

Sindel: Mileena I'm waiting for your answer, Promise me you'll stay in the city

Mileena: I promise

Sindel: good

Sindel walks down her throne and gives her daughters a document with the latest information on the adventurers' whereabouts

Sindel: Happy hunting, now off you go, I have another person I must speak to

Kitana & Mileena walk out of the throne room

Kitana: Don't do anything stupid, sister

Mileena: Why are you telling me that

Kitana: Because I know you, don't leave the city

Mileena: Yeah yeah, I take it you're choosing Jade as your champion

Kitana: I am, and I know you're choosing Tanya

Mileena: I am, but unlike you I don't need to look for Jade, I know where Tanya is

Kitana: Yeah, because she's in your bed

Mileena: Yeah she is

As they keep walking down the hall they are greeted by Li Mei and General Shoa

Li Mei: Good morning, princesses

Kitana: morning Li Mei

General Shoa: Is the empress ready for us

He says with an annoyed tone

Mileena: Watch your tone General, or have you forgotten who you're talking to

General Shoa; apologies, princess

Mileena: Yeah, right

Kitana and Mileena walk off
