"Commander Omacatl!"
He looks up wearily from the scrolls laid before him. "Yes, Sergeant?"
"It appears there has been somewhat of a deception, sir! Regarding the distress note attached to the arrow that impaled Private Concorde!"
Omacatl scowls. "The Princess?"
"Sir, it appears there is no Princess captive in that castle. That note was the handiwork of a million monkeys scrawling randomly. What shall we do, sir?"
"Well, damned if I'm going to march all the way back to Mictlan empty handed! A man's got his career to think of! Who holds the castle, then?"
"Sir, I'm telling you, it's monkeys, they are everywhere. There does not appear to be any sign of human inhabitants."
"Monkeys? Huh! Well, here's what we do. Send word to our capital that we have sighted the Princess, and are making preparations to storm the castle. I'll not have the Council of Couatls rob me of my chance at glory by canceling the operation!"
