Collection: Sage Eyes
The main series of Sage Eyes, the story of Simon and Tiffani.
Simon: So where does Earl Hart fit into all this? Did he die?
Tiffani: What?
Simon: Earl Hart planned this, right? To trap us?
Tiffani: Mari told me there is no Earl by that name. He tricked me as well.
Simon: So he's a liar. But did he die?
Tiffani: I think so. Why?
Simon: Because the only reason I survived is an amulet he gave me. As if he knew what would happen. But why not protect himself?
Tiffani: May... maybe he did survive? I didn't see... Didn't notice. Maybe he thought I was dead?
Simon: What about Tenci, the thief in green?
Tiffani: I... don't know.
Simon: But...
Tiffani: I said I don't know!
Simon: Oops... sorry!
Tiffani: We're at the exit. It comes up in the middle of the stables.
Guard: Milady, please help me find them. I'll go upstairs, you go get the guards on the other side of the door.
Isabel: Simon! Tiffani!
Simon: How did you learn about this?
Tiffani: Alayna... We would hide in here as children...
Simon: Where does that hole go?
Tiffani: There's a secret tunnel that goes through the bridge and to the stable.
Simon: Wait, could someone get into the castle this way?
Tiffani: It's a secret! Not for your thief friends! Promise me!
Simon: Ro-
Prin-
Tiffani?
You were in there?
Tiffani: Yes... Wait, you didn't know it was me you were freeing?
Simon: I was just creating a distraction do I could escape. Why in Hutaz was the princess in jail?
Tiffani: So if you didn't free me... I shouldn't have left! They're going to think I'm guilty! I need to go back.
Simon: Probably a little too late to go back now.
Tiffani: Then where do I go?
Simon: Why ask me? Don't you have family?
Tiffani: My parents are... Gone. And everyone else thinks I did it.
Knock!
Fey: Isabel!
Isabel: ...Fey?! It is Fey, right?
Fey: I haven't heard from you since the dance. And I wanted to see you again. I thought we had something special.
Isabel: It was only two days ago. And if you didn't realize, last night the king and queen died. You should be wearing black.
Fey: We don't do that where I'm from. But wanted to come see you are doing. I'm sure the news has been hard.
Isabel: Well, it has been so confusing. But my brother and father are not so good at listening right now.
Isabel: I'm scared. They say magic was involved. I just can't understand. Who would do this?
Plus, Ti–someone I know was involve and I don't have any idea what will happen next. It's just–huh?
Simon?! I've got to go.
Tiffani: Simon?
Tiffani: Simon...
Why did you free me?
Were you trying to save me? Do you know what they're going to do to me?
Prisoner: Thanks, thief!
Simon: Hey, you in there! Coming out?
No?
Fine, suit yourself.
Prisoners: After forty years, freedom at last!
Can you let me out?
Oh, come on!
Guard: Light Thief!!!
Guard: I told you not to cause trouble!
Simon: How did you expect me to escape?
Guard: Just don't get me in trouble.
Simon: How am I going to escape?
Prisoners: Hey, you're no guard.
Do I head keys?
Simon: Remember, Snake Eyes freed you!
Simon: Sorry for making your job harder.
Guard: Thanks. But the nobles probably make it harder than you do. Speaking of nobles, how do you know Isabel?
Simon: Well, you can't tell anyone. But one day we snuck into the castle for some business. She saw me...
Tenci: Shh!
Isabel: Hello? What happened to the lights?
Tenci: Run!
Isabel: Simon?
It's you, isn't it? Where have you been?
It's me, Isabel. Remember, Simon?
Simon: Isabel. Of course. How could I forget?
"I didn't know who she was, but I just went with it and have used her since."
Guard: And she never figured it out?
Simon: She saw what she wanted. We were never together long enough for her to doubt.
Guard: Look, you've been a pain, you know? But you're one of us, too. You're getting to them. Stealing their jewels, their light, and their daughters.
The nobility doesn't seem so untouchable around you. And well, it seems like Simon didn't hear me, and everyone thinks you're dead. So I can either stay here and wait, or...
Guard: Simon!
Simon: What?
Guard: My partner. He has the keys to unlock your cell and properly trap you.
Simon: Oh, I thought you were calling me.
Guard: You're a Simon, too? Huh. Common name.
Simon: And what's yours?
Guard: Henri.
Simon: So, Henri, is guard duty as bad as it seems?
Guard: Ha. I hate it. Most of the time it is so boring. But you're expected to always be ready. So if something does get past you, it's all your fault. Take the other day, when the Light Thief...well, you know, it was you. I mean, we were checking to see if it was you. I was doing everything right! But then Isabel interfered. Yet who gets the blame? Not her, I can tell you.
Simon: Why's there a bunny... in jail?
Guard: They're called Four Ears.
You know, because it has four ears.
They're actually like you. They steal magic. Handy for any Majestics who break the law. Little Light Thieves who run through the tunnels between the cells in this part of the dungeon. Have a little garden up on top.
So nice of you to turn yourself in. Now, let's see. Which one locks this?
Simon: No, wait!
Guard: Here we go.
Simon: Let me out!
Guard: Hey!
No, let go!
Give them back!
Guard: You're the worst.
