The girls were to travel to the borders of the Cold Country on the larger vehicles, but they wished to start flying individually for the first few helans of the journey for practice. Georg, Maida, Elza and I were to travel in the instrument room. We massed upon a broad hilltop near the city.
As our barge rounded a bend in the canal, under the archways of dangling colored lights, the festival spread before us. Involuntarily I stood up to gaze. The canal opened into an artificial lake a broad circular sheet of water some 800 helans in diameter. Sloping hillsides enclosed the lake hillsides which I saw were terraced with huge banks of seats in tiers one above the other.
We men were similarly equipped, but our movements in the air were heavier, clumsier. Elza and I had practiced with the others for days; and with our harmless duelling rays I had found that I could never hope to hit her while she dealt me mortal blows. Elza, commanding a squad of twenty girls, was assigned to a portion of the line some helans from me.
They had passed over great outer encircling ramparts a huge wall many helans long built entirely of ice blocks fortifications like that fabled wall which in the dim history of our Earth had once encircled a portion of the domain of the Yellow Race. The platform came down before a central building the Palace of Ice.
The trip from the Great City was not long. After a few helans our girls ceased flying individually and boarded their appointed vehicles. In a long single line, armament platforms, the towers, our instrument room, with the power plant bringing up the rear, we sailed forward.
