[Septimus walks towards the sea-shore]

Lackey:
Your Highness, the soothsayer, as you requested.
Septimus:
[to the soothsayer]
South you said. South we went. Still no stone. Do you now propose we start swimming?
Soothsayer:
Sire, I've merely relayed to you what the runes have told me. I can do no more.
Septimus:
Well, consult them again.
[the soothsayer is about to do so when Septimus halts him]

Septimus:
Wait! Before we seek the stone... I have another question: Am I the seventh son?
[the soothsayer throws the runes and reads them after they fall with three joined together and one leaning away, with the runic symbols uppermost]

Soothsayer:
Yes.
Septimus:
Another question. Is my favourite colour blue?
[the soothsayer throws the runes once more and reads them]

Soothsayer:
Yes.
Septimus:
Has excessive begging or pleading ever persuaded me to spare the life of a traitor?
[the soothsayer nervously throws the runes and is afraid when they turn over scattered away from each other, with the blank side uppermost]

Soothsayer:
Um...
Septimus:
What does that mean?
Soothsayer:
That means "no".
Septimus:
Good! Throw them again. This time throw them high.
[the soothsayer throws the runes high in the air]

Septimus:
[while the runes are mid-air]
Do you work for my brother?
[the runes come down. Septimus removes his dagger and kills the luckless soothsayer, implying that indeed, the runes say "yes."]

Septimus:
So, do we continue west?
[He throws the runes up again]
