I understand also why you wish to go to the House of Aselzion, and you shall go " I uttered an exclamation of relief and pleasure. His eyes grew dark with earnest gravity as he looked at me.
Flames of every colour burned vividly, leaping and falling without pause or cessation, it was a kind of open furnace in which surely everything must be consumed! I looked at Aselzion in silent enquiry not in fear and in equally silent answer he pointed to the glowing vault. I understood and without another moment's hesitation I advanced towards it.
All the brethren rose, and raised their arms above their heads dropping them slowly again after a second's pause. "Enough!" and Aselzion now moved towards the Cross and Star, fronting it fully.
"Aselzion is the cleverest humbug of his time," said one "He is never so happy as when he can play the little god and dupe his worshippers!" A laugh followed this sentence. "He's a marvel in his way," said another "He must be a kind of descendant of some ancient Egyptian conjurer who had the trick of playing with fire.
The question gave me a little thrill of surprise. "Heard from him? No" I replied "He never suggested writing to me." Aselzion smiled. "He is too closely in touch with you to need other correspondence," -he said "But be satisfied that he is safe and well. No misadventure has befallen him." "Thank God!" I murmured. "And if "
Then the assembled brethren sat down in their places, and Aselzion spoke in measured, distinct accents, with the easy and assured manner of a practised orator. "Friends and Brethren! "We are gathered here together to consider in this moment of time the things we have done in the past, and the things we are preparing to do in the future.
Still walking together like lovers, they came on I knew they must pass me, and I stood in their way that Rafel Santoris at least might see me might know that I had adventured into the House of Aselzion for his sake, and that so far I had not failed! If he were false, then surely the failure would be his!
Ages before the coming of Christ, one Aselzion, a man of austere and strict life, belonging to a Fraternity stationed in Syria, was engaged in working out a calculation of the average quantity of heat and light provided per minute by the sun's rays, when, glancing upward at the sky, the hour being clear noonday, he beheld a Cross of crimson hue suspended in the sky, whereon hung the cloudy semblance of a human figure.
For I felt sure the mystic Brotherhood of Aselzion would not allow me to communicate with the outside world so long as I remained with them. I sat meditating, and I began to consider that several days passed thus aimlessly would be difficult to bear. I could not keep correct count of time, my watch having stopped, and there was no clock or chime of any sort in the place that I could hear.
Could it be possible that my own rashness and selfishness had again separated me from my beloved? for so I now called him in my heart had I by some foolish, distrustful thought estranged him once more from my soul? The rising tears choked me I rose from my seat, hardly knowing what I did, and went to the window for air Aselzion followed me and laid his hand gently on my shoulder.
