Yet between were the inevitable workers perhaps a score of them. "Let us walk over there?" she said, indicating them. "I should like to see what they are doing." "It is too far," said Ghek. "I hate the sun. It is much pleasanter here where I can stand beneath the shade of this tree." "All right," she agreed; "then you stay here and I will walk over. It will take me but a minute."
She did not reply and after a time he spoke again. "Sing to me," he said. It was while she was singing that four warriors came to take her to Luud. They told Ghek that he was to remain where he was. "Why?" asked Ghek. "You have displeased Luud," replied one of the warriors. "How?" demanded Ghek. "You have demonstrated a lack of uncontaminated reasoning power.
I have been searching for her. Where is she?" "I do not know," replied the Gatholian; "but we must find her and take her from this place." "We may find her," said Ghek; "but I doubt our ability to take her away. It is not so easy to leave Manator as it is to enter it.
"It is very little that I ask," she said. "Tonight you will want me to sing to you. It will be the last time, if you do not let me go and see what those kaldanes are doing I shall never sing to you again." Ghek hesitated. "I will hold you by the arm all the time, then," he said. "Why, of course, if you wish," she assented. "Come!" The two moved toward the workers and the hills.
From these pits lead others to all parts of the city. Follow one that runs due west and it will bring you to The Gate of Enemies. The rest will then lie with you. I can do no more; hurry before my waning powers fail me I am not as Luud, who was a king. He could have held this creature forever. Make haste! Go!" "I shall not desert you, Ghek," said Tara of Helium, simply. "Go!
Ghek had temporarily abandoned his rykor after enlisting Turan's assistance in lashing it safely to the deck. The less he used it the less would its vitality be spent. Already it was showing the effects of privation. Ghek crawled about the vessel like a great spider over the side, down beneath the keel, and up over the opposite rail. He seemed equally at home one place as another.
The stun-pistol hummed, though its noise was inaudible through the yells of the charging partisans of the Lord Ghek. Hoddan swore from the depths of a very considerable vocabulary. "Get back up on your horse or I blast you and leave you for Ghek's men to handle when they're able to move about again! Get back on that horse! One two " The man got back on the horse. "Now go on ahead," rasped Hoddan.
He did not know it but he would not even have the poor satisfaction of satisfied revenge, since he was not capable of feeling so abstruse a sentiment. Ghek, mounted upon his rykor, paced the floor of the tower chamber in which he had been ordered to remain.
The latter saw the head of the fallen warrior crawl quickly within the aperture leading to the chamber where he had seen Tara of Helium in the clutches of a headless body. Then the sword of Ghek struck the kaldane of the remaining warrior from its rykor and Gahan ran his sword through the repulsive head. Instantly the red warrior leaped for the aperture, while close behind him came Ghek.
"No," he answered. "I will go with you. You want to escape; but you are not going to." "I cannot escape," she said. "I know it," agreed Ghek; "but you might try. I do not wish you to try. Possibly it will be better if we return to the tower at once. It would go hard with me should you escape." Tara of Helium saw her last chance fading into oblivion. There would never be another after today.
