ZAMA. [Barring his path.] Nijo, sir, what do you be doing?
NIJO. [With a flourish of his sword.] I kill the thing that freezes another heart!
ZAMA. That do mean ruin! It be an enchanted ball!
NIJO. [Brushing past Zama.] It will enchant no longer!!
OHANO. No! No, Nijo!
NIJO. [Running up pedestal steps.] Yes!!
[With a mighty blow he strikes the gazing globe with his sword. Frightened, Ohano shrinks to one side, facing right, as a thunder-like crash follows the blow, and pieces of the globe tumble to the ground—all but one piece that remains upon the pedestal. Then from a moon off stage right shines a straight golden path across the sea to the bit of gazing globe on the pedestal.
OHANO. [Triumphantly.] The moon—The way! At last the way! From the gazing globe—the golden path to the moon of glory. Now I am free!
[Rushes wildly down the moonlight path to the sea.
ZAMA. Stop her!
