The reign of the Naya is, according to all we hear, one of terror and oppression. The poor are ground down to swell the wealth of the rich, and no man's life is safe from one moment to another. It shall be changed, and I, Omar, will fulfil the duty expected of me." "Well spoken, old fellow," I answered, enthusiastically.
"Every man, from Kona, the head-man, to the meanest slave, is my trusted servant, and they all deserve reward. Each shall enter Mo and receive it at the hands of the Naya herself. This I have already promised." "The servants of the lord prince are welcome. The people shall fête them, and make their days pass as quickly as seconds fly.
"Let our son Omar stand forth and approach our Emerald Throne," exclaimed the Naya at last, in a thin, rasping voice, moving slightly as she bent forward, fixing her shining eyes upon us. They glittered with evil.
Pale, trembling in the iron grip of the executioner, he was hurried forward before the dazzling Emerald Throne. "See! he flinches, the perfidious old traitor!" the Naya cried. "His duty was to prevent any stranger from entering Mo, yet he actually assisted yonder horde of savages to gain access to our innermost courts. He "
Obey the laws we promulgate and the good counsels of our advisers, and security both of life and property shall be yours. From this moment human sacrifices to our great god Zomara to whom all praise be given for this victory of our arms are abolished. But our first and foremost word from this, our seat of royalty, is that the life of the Naya shall be spared. Your Naba hath spoken."
But in an instant, swift as the lightning from above, the terrible curse of Zomara fell upon him, striking him dead, his magnificent palace was swept away and swallowed up by a mighty earthquake, and from the barren hole, once the fairest spot in the land, there have ever since belched forth fumes that poison every living thing. It is Zomara's Wrath." "And what became of Naya, the queen?"
But to us there came no tidings of the Naya, although the strictest watch was kept everywhere to prevent her escaping. The people were determined that if she might not pay the penalty of her evil deeds by death, she should at least be held captive in one of the foul dungeons beneath the palace, where so many of their relatives had rotted and died in agony or starvation.
Himself facing the hideous gigantic head with its long jaws and gleaming eyes, he flung himself suddenly upon his knees and commenced a gabbled prayer. All prostrated themselves in adoration, even to the great Naya herself, whose magnificent jewels flashed and gleamed with wondrous brilliancy each time she moved.
Then, turning towards Liola, he tenderly placed upon her head the historic mark of royalty, saying in his own tongue: "Now that the days of our sorrow have passed like the shadow of a cloud upon a sunlit sea, we will be wed as soon as it is meet for us so to do, and upon thy brow thus shalt rest the diadem of the first Naya, the upright queen to whom Mo oweth her magnificence, her power, and her present prosperity.
A prince of the Mahrattas followed Naya to England; he loves her, and will soon bring her to France. "'To France? Have they a place to go to here? I eagerly asked. "'Let my sister and her husband find protection in your house, he simply said, 'and the gods will reward you. "I hesitated for a moment, and then I cordially answered: "'Let it be as you say my house shall be open to your sister!
