"I can only trust to my own skill, and hope to find the place. We may have to pass over different lands of the Gojin, and if so we may be in danger." "What is the reason why the athaleb goes to Magones every season?" I asked. "To take there the chief pauper of the season, who has won the prize of death by starvation. It is one of the greatest honors among the Kosekin." "Is Magones barren?"
There are other nations beside ours. We can find some land among the Gojin where we can live in peace. The Gojin are not like us." "But Almah?" said I. The face of Layelah clouded. "I can only save you," said she. "Then I will stay and die with Almah," said I, obstinately. "What!" said Layelah, "do you not fear death?" "Of course I do," said I; "but I'd rather die than lose Almah."
These made sleep impossible, and as I lay awake I thought that perhaps it would be well to know what might be Layelah's plan of escape, for I might then make use of it to save Almah. I determined to find out all about it on the following jom to question her as to the lands of the Gojin, to learn all her purpose.
He has done this for fifty or sixty seasons, and knows his way there and back perfectly well. The difficulty will be, when we leave Magones, in reaching the land of the Orin." "The Orin?" I repeated. "Who are they?" "They are a people among the Gojin who love life and light. It is their land that I wish to reach, if possible." "Where is it?" I asked, eagerly. "I cannot explain," said Layelah.
The only thing that I wanted to know was the situation of the lands of the Gojin. On the following jom the Kohen Gadol and Layelah came quite early and spent much time. I was surprised to see the Kohen Gadol devoting himself in an absurd fashion to Almah.
Far better would it be to risk all the dangers of this unusual and amazing flight, to brave the terrors of that drear isle of fire, Magones; better to perish there of starvation, or to be killed by the hands of hostile Gojin, than to wait here and be destroyed at last by the sacrificial knife of these smiling, generous, kind-hearted, self-sacrificing fiends; to be killed ay, and afterward borne to the tremendous Mista Kosek.
