The spirital leader

"I don't know," said one of the men wearing the brown hoods.

Another man lowered his brown hood, revealing his long white beard and hair. He bowed before the man who was still holding the liver up high for all to see.

"What's going on?" asked Julius Caesar.

"Shhhhh..." hissed the man nearest him. "He is our spirital leader. He is an expert in deciphering the riddle. He will tell us momentarily. Just hush and we will find out."

The spirital leader kept on bowing for a very long time. Julius waited impatiently. "Tell him to hurry up!" he barked.

"Shhhhh!" hissed the hooded man nearest Caesar.

At the same time, the spirital leader suddenly raised his head, and faced Julius. "I am still deciphering the riddle. But one thing is clear. You are part of the riddle and you will help us!"

"Me?" said Julius Caesar. "Why me?"

1. "Chain him!" orders the spirital leader, pointing at Caesar.
2. "We need you to go outside and fetch something for us," says the spirital leader. "Something we need to help decipher our riddle."
