His point was, however, that he did not in the least wish to visit Nyo any more. The wonders of its underground palaces and temples had no charms for him.
"Tyuonyi koitza," then in the direction of the Rito, made the gesture-sign for killing, and looked at the stranger inquiringly and with an anxious face. Now the Indian understood her. His eyes sparkled; he shook his head emphatically, uttering, "Nyo nyo tema, uan save, uan save;" at the same time he pointed to the west and brandished his war-club.
"Then let it be in the sunlight, Yva. I do not love those darksome halls of Nyo that glow like something dead." "It is fitting, for are they not dead?" she answered, with a little laugh. "So be it. Bastin shall teach my father down below, since sun and shade are the same to him who only thinks of his religion, and you shall teach me up above."
The woman shook her head, whispering, "Nyo Shotaye, nyo Tema, 'not Shotaye, not Queres. Tehua quio." Then she grasped her hand and breathed into Shotaye's ear, "Aua P'ho Quio."

"So do I," said Bastin, "though of course, Faith teaches us that there are much better ones beyond. It is no use bothering about what they are like, but I hope that the road to them doesn't run through the hole that the old reprobate, Oro, calls Nyo."
But when trouble came and the foe rained fire on them from the air, they retreated to this town, Nyo, which signifies Beneath." "And then?" "And then they died. The Water of Life may prolong life, but it cannot make women bear children. That they will only do beneath the blue of heaven, not deep in the belly of the world where Nature never designed that they should dwell.
