Know, then, O-Tar, that you must free A-Kor, the dwar, forthwith or bring him to fair trial before the assembled jeds of Manator. I have spoken." "You have spoken well and to the point, U-Thor," cried O-Tar, "for you have revealed to your jeddak and your fellow jeds the depth of the disloyalty that I have long suspected.
She was by far the most desirable woman that O-Tar had ever looked upon and he was determined to possess her. He told her so. "I could take you as my slave," he said to her; "but it pleases me to make you my wife. You shall be Jeddara of Manator.
At sight of them the warriors who had remained with the jeddak leaped to their feet with drawn swords, thinking that their fellows were pursued by many enemies; but no one followed them into the room, and the three chieftains came and stood before O-Tar with bowed heads and trembling knees. "Well?" demanded the jeddak. "What ails you? Speak!"
He was angry with the populace because of their open hostility toward one who had basked in the sunshine of his favor for long years. O-Tar the jeddak had not enjoyed the afternoon. Those who surrounded him were equally glum they, too, scowled upon the field, the players, and the people.
"And O-Tar learns of this you shall rue it, E-Med," cried the slave girl; "there be no law in Manator that gives you this girl before you shall have won her fairly." "What cares O-Tar for her fate?" replied E-Med. "Have I not heard? Did she not flout the great jeddak, heaping abuse upon him?
I will keep you. That " he pointed at Ghek "can it fight?" "It is brave," replied Tara of Helium, "but it has not the skill at arms which my people possess." "There is none then to fight for you?" asked O-Tar. "We are a just people," he continued without waiting for a reply, "and had you one to fight for you he might win to freedom for himself and you as well."
Let us confront him who calls himself Turan with these his fellows before they die." "Good!" exclaimed O-Tar, pausing half way down the steps. "Fetch Turan, the slave!" When Turan had been brought into the chamber he was placed a little to Tara's left and a step nearer the throne. O-Tar eyed him menacingly. "You are Turan," he asked, "friend and companion of these?"
And now, how may we dispose of this fellow?" He pointed to the dead eunuch upon the floor. "We need not concern ourselves about that," she replied. "None dares harm me for fear of the wrath of O-Tar otherwise I should have been dead so soon as ever I entered this portion of the palace, for the women hate me. O-Tar alone may punish me, and what cares O-Tar for the life of a eunuch?
"O-Tar is dead!" he cried. "Let A-Kor rule until the chiefs of all Manator may be summoned to choose a new jeddak. What is your answer?" "Let A-Kor rule! A-Kor, Jeddak of Manator!" The cries filled the room and there was no dissenting voice. A-Kor raised his sword for silence.
To those who are yet so untutored as to believe in the existence of Corphals, there can be no argument that will convince them of their error only long ages of refinement and culture can accomplish their release from the bondage of ignorance. I have spoken." "Yet you do not deny the accusation," said O-Tar. "It is not worthy the dignity of a denial," she responded haughtily.
