Leehallfae's body had disappeared. "What does this mean what has happened?" "The body has returned to whence it came. There was nowhere here for it to be, so it has vanished. No burial will be required." "Was the phaen an illusion, then?" "In no sense." "Well, explain quickly, then, what has taken place. I seem to be going mad." "There's nothing unintelligible in it, if you'll only listen calmly.
"Your luck is fast weakening, but it may still be strong enough to serve me. Together we will search for Threal." "Search for Threal why, is it so hard to find?" "I have told you that my whole life has been spent in the quest." "You said Faceny, Leehallfae." The phaen gazed at him with queer, ancient eyes, and smiled again.
Maskull obeyed, and laid aer down at full length on the rocky ground. The phaen raised aerself with difficulty on one arm, and stared with fast-glazing eyes at the mystic landscape. Maskull looked too, and what he saw was a vast, undulating plain, lighted as if by the moon but there was of course no moon, and there were no shadows. He made out running streams in the distance.
If you could have drawn nearer still, would you not have done so?" "I would, regardless of the consequences." "Even if you personally had nothing to hope for?" "But I would have that to hope for." Leehallfae walked on in silence. "A man is the half of Life," ae broke out suddenly. "A woman is the other half of life, but a phaen is the whole of life.
There now loomed up straight ahead a perpendicular cliff about three hundred feet in height, composed of white, marbled rock. It was the head of the valley, and beyond it they could not proceed. "In return for my wisdom," said the phaen, "you will now lend me your luck." They walked up to the base of the cliff, and Maskull looked at it reflectively.
The roof was high above their heads, and six men could have walked side by side. Leehallfae was visibly weakening. Ae dragged aerself along slowly and painfully, with sunken head. Maskull caught hold of aer. "You can't go on like that. Better let me take you back." The phaen smiled, and staggered. "I'm dying." "Don't talk like that. It's only a passing indisposition.
He bent down, and, taking hold of the phaen's thin and ragged robe, tore off a broad strip, which he proceeded to swathe in folds around his forehead. "I'm not forgetting your advice, Leehallfae. I would not like to start the walk as Maskull and finish it as Digrung." The phaen gave a twisted grin, and they began to move upstream. The road was difficult.
Who are you, where do you come from, and what are you doing here?" "My name is Maskull. My home is on the other side of the universe. As for what I am doing here I accompanied Leehallfae, that phaen, from Matterplay." "But a man doesn't accompany a phaen out of friendship. What do you want in Threal?" "Then this is Threal?" "Yes." Maskull remained silent.
