	“An enemy will trap your head in an iron mask, with no holes for seeing or breathing” warned the first oracle.  

	“A bloody child, born not from woman’s womb, will claim your throne for her own,” advised the second oracle. 

	“The trees will grow legs and march on the High City,” prophesied the third and final oracle.  “Beware the metal faces, and the unborn children, and the shaking branches of the forest.  For they hate you, my King, and they will see you fall.”

	King Masbeth thought on their words for some time, then ordered the three oracles executed. This would normally be the duty of the royal executioner, but three hundred years ago King Masbeth banished his entire procession from the fortress.  It has been a very lonely three hundred years since then.

	In the fortress courtyard there is a garden where criminals are meant to be executed, peacefully and with dignity, but it was so very far from the throne room, and King Masbeth was a tired and weary man, and so he decided it would be easiest to kill the oracles then and there.  Three swings of his sword; three dead oracles.  Afterwards, when he made to tidy up, the King found their bodies were too heavy to move, and their blood would not wash from the white marble floor.

	This is what the rumors say, at least—the Dark King of Quishan murdered three innocent oracles who dared to prophesize his downfall.  Bullshit, others say.  It was his daughters, and he didn’t murder them.  How could a man murder his daughters?  The shock of the prophecies killed them, right on the spot, and the King just couldn’t bear to move their bodies from where they fell.  

	That’s when your cousin, the one who always starts fights during New Year’s dinner, interrupts: [i]Your head is so far up your ass I can see it in your mouth.  Here’s what really happened...[/i]

	And so on.  There are many rumors surrounding this particular tale (the murderous king story is particularly popular), but to tell you the truth, no one knows why there are three dead woman seated around the throne of the King.  

	That is a mystery only he could answer.
