Answer:
Scene: The Temple of Apollo at Delphi. Creon is kneeling before the statue of Apollo, deep in prayer. Suddenly, the statue begins to glow, and Apollo appears before him.
Tone: Tense, foreboding
Apollo: (in a booming voice) Creon, why have you come to me?
Creon: (startled) My lord, I come seeking your guidance. The city of Thebes is in turmoil, and Oedipus, our king, has sent me to seek your wisdom.
Apollo: (nodding thoughtfully) I see. And what is it that troubles Thebes?
Creon: (hesitant) A plague, my lord. It has ravaged our city, and our people are dying by the hundreds.
Apollo: (grimacing) A plague? This is a most serious matter. What does your king intend to do about it?
Creon: (bowing his head) He has sent me to seek your advice, my lord. He hopes that you will guide him to the solution.
Apollo: (sighing heavily) I see. Oedipus is a brave and noble king, but he is blind to the truth that lies before him.
Creon: (confused) What truth, my lord?
Apollo: (sternly) The truth that he has brought this curse upon himself and his city through his own actions. He must face the consequences of his deeds and make amends.
Creon: (alarmed) What deeds, my lord? What must he do?
Apollo: (shaking his head) That is not for me to say. Oedipus must confront the truth and accept his fate. Only then can Thebes be saved.
Creon: (kneeling) My lord, please, give us a sign. Show us the way to end this plague.
Apollo: (thoughtful) Very well. Go back to Thebes and tell Oedipus to search for the murderer of the previous king, Laius. He will find that the murderer is closer to him than he thinks.
Creon: (puzzled) The murderer of King Laius? But that was many years ago. How can we find the killer now?
Apollo: (mysteriously) The truth will reveal itself in time. Go, Creon, and tell Oedipus what I have said. And remember, the gods are watching.
Creon: (bowing) Yes, my lord. Thank you for your guidance.
Apollo: (fading away) Remember, Creon. The truth will set you free, but first, it will destroy you.
