The doctor ordered that he was not to be molested. The Geos and the others left the room, escorting the Aradna, who was too exhausted for further experiences. There remained with the doctor, Chick, Harry, and the Nervina. "I will reduce that lecture to synopsis form," began the professor. "I shall tell you all that I know, up to this moment. First, however, let me show you something."
The red dots began to descend toward the three-cornered figure. One minute passed, and another; then one more, and the June Bug landed. With scarcely a sound the Lucar brought the craft to a full stop. In a moment he was assisting the Aradna to alight. As for the Geos, he took from the machine two objects, which he held out to the Aradna and to Chick. "Put these on.
"No." "But he sent back something within three days?" Watson was thinking, of course, of the doctor who had disappeared on the day which, Jerome overheard the Rhamda to say, was the last of his stay. But Geos did not reply. Why, Chick could not guess. He thought it best not to press the question; in good time, if he went at it carefully, he could gain his end with safety.
The little fellow began to neigh, a tiny, ridiculous sound as compared with the blast of a normal-sized horse, and began to paw for the edge of the table. "What does he want?" "A drink. They will do anything for it." Geos pressed a button, and in a moment he had another goblet.
And directly ahead, the air was becoming alive with the beam-revealed aircraft. How could they get by in safety? But Chick did not know the Jan Lucar. The soldier said: "My lord is not uneasy?" "Of course not," with unconcern. "Why?" "Because I propose something daring. I am free to admit, my lord, that were the Geos and I alone, I should not attempt it.
Besides, he looked at his clothing. "I would have my own garments, Geos; also, whatever else was found on my person." For Watson was thinking of a small but powerful pistol, an automatic, that he had carried on the night when he fell through the Blind Spot. This question of materiality was still a puzzle; if he himself had survived there was a chance that the firearm had done the same.
It had seemed but that many minutes. "And I was unconscious " "All the time, my lord. Had we caught you immediately upon your coming, we could have brought you around within three days, but in the circumstances it was impossible to restore you before we did. You have been under the care of the greatest specialists in all Thomahlia." Geos himself had been one of these.
There stood the great Bar at the doorway, surrounded by his dying and panic-stricken men. The cloak given Chick by the Geos impeded his progress; with a quick movement he threw it off and ran unprotected alongside the Irishman. The Blue guards saw them coming; they levelled their weapons. But before they could discharge them they met the same fate as had the Reds.
They are the Mahovisal, and of the Temple of the Bell. They are led by the great Bar Senestro." "And there were times when these Bars, led by this Senestro, held guard over the Spot of Life?" To this Geos nodded; and Watson went on: "And who is this great Senestro?" "He is the chief of the Bars, and a prince of D'Hartia. He is the affianced of the two queens, the Aradna and the Nervina."
Chick saw, however that the positions of the red and green were just the obverse of what glowed in the distance; and then he heard the voice, strong and distinct, speaking with a slight metallic twang as from a microphone hidden in that little, blazing, coloured leaf: "Listen, ye who have ears to listen!" It was said in the Thomahlian tongue. The Geos breathed: "The voice of the Prophet Jarados!"
