And the Life of that man went forth with yesterday's regrets and all old sorrows and forgotten things whither Mung knoweth. And Mung went onward with his work to sunder Life from flesh, and Mung came upon a man who became stricken with sorrow when he saw the shadow of Mung. But Mung said: "When at the sign of Mung thy Life shall float away there will also disappear thy sorrow at forsaking it."
But there are some that hold and this is the heresy of the Saigoths that when the gods go down at the last into their galleons of gold Mung shall turn alone, and, setting his back against Trehagobol and wielding the Sword of Severing which is called Death, shall fight out his last fight with the hound Time, his empty scabbard Sleep clattering loose beside him.
And when Sish became a god less durable to Yun-Ilara than ever Mung hath been he ceased at last to cry from his tower's top his curses against Mung whenever the sun went down, till there came the day when weariness of the gift of Kib fell heavily upon Yun-Ilara. Then from the tower of the Ending of Days did Yun-Ilara cry out thus to Mung, crying: "O Mung! O loveliest of the gods!
And heralds were sent abroad through the cities of Runazar and of all the lands near by, proclaiming of the images: "These be Pegana's gods." But up in Pegana the gods howled with wrath and Mung leant forward to make the sign of Mung against Althazar the King.
And Mung slightly inclined his head, and went on to tread in the garden of Kabok, about his house at night. And Kabok lay and listened with horror at his heart. But when the second morning grew to brightness, and there was light upon the Worlds, Mung went from treading in the garden of Kabok; and for a little while Kabok hoped, but looked with great dread for the coming of the third night.
Undoubtedly if Mung Baw's religion had not compelled him to sacrifice every hair on his body including his eyebrows he would have been an uncommonly good-looking fellow, but an absolutely bare face and bald cranium was a heavy handicap were he Apollo himself!
Ah, for repose down underneath the grass, where the firm feet of the trees grip hold upon the world, where never shall come the wind that now blows through my bones, and the rain shall come warm and trickling, not driven by storm, where is the easeful falling asunder of bone from bone in the dark." Thus prayed Yun-Ilara, who had cursed in his folly and youth, while never heeded Mung.
Still from a heap of bones that are Yun-Ilara still, lying about the ruined base of the tower that once he builded, goes up a shrill voice with the wind crying out for the mercy of Mung, if any such there be. There was dole in the valley of Sidith. For three years there had been pestilence, and in the last of the three a famine; moreover, there was imminence of war.
And Yug said of the Beginning that it was in Yug's own garden, and of the End that it was in the sight of Yug. And men forgot Yug. One day Yug saw Mung behind the hills making the sign of Mung. And Yug was Yug no more. When Yug was Yug no more men said unto Alhireth-Hotep: "Be thou our prophet, and be as wise as Yug." And Alhireth-Hotep said: "I am as wise as Yug." And men were very glad.
Towering majestically among his fellows stood Mung Baw, who, throwing them a hasty explanation, advanced to welcome Shafto with a soldierly tread and a jaunty swing of his yellow robe. Then taking him aside he began to talk to him in a cautious undertone: "I am sorry to tell you I have no kubber yet.
