When I awoke it was day, and through the window-place I saw the rain that the people of Kaloon had so long desired falling in one straight sheet. I saw also that Ayesha, seated by the shrouded form of Leo, was giving orders to her priests and captains and to some nobles, who had survived the slaughter of Kaloon, as to the new government of the land. Then I slept again.
"The sword is not the only power in the world," I answered. "Tell me, now, does this priestess ever visit the country of Kaloon?"
Remember my words when I loose the Powers and thou followest the rent veil of Ayesha through the smitten squadrons of Kaloon. Only what if Atene should dare to murder him? Oh, if she should dare!" "Be comforted," I replied, wondering what she might mean by this loosing of the Powers. "I think that she loves him too well."
It was this spirit that foresaw your danger and this hand which delivered you from death, and and would you refuse them now when I, the Khania of Kaloon, proffer them to you?" So she spoke, and leaned upon the table, looking up into his face with lips that trembled and with appealing eyes.
First we changed our festal robes for those warmer garments in which we had travelled to the city of Kaloon. Then we ate and drank what we could of the victuals which stood in the antechamber, not knowing when we should find more food, and filled two satchels such as these people sling about their shoulders, with the remains of the meat and liquor and a few necessaries.
High in the air ran that path, over the dim roofs of the city of Kaloon, over the river, yes, straight above us, over the mountains, and doubtless though there we could not follow them across the desert to that high eminence on its farther side where we had lain bathed in their radiance.
