In some shells were flaxen-haired dwarfish men of Lugur's type; sometimes black-polled brother officers of Rador; often raven-tressed girls, plainly hand-maidens of the women; and now and then beauties of the lower folk went by with one of the blond dwarfs.
But this gateway in the rock where is it?" "After we passed, it closed upon us; nor could we after find trace of it," answered Marakinoff. The incredulity that had shown upon the face of the green dwarf fell upon theirs; on Lugur's it was clouded with furious anger. He turned to Rador. "I could find no opening, lord," said the green dwarf quickly.
Not until long after were we to know that it had been the dying hand of Serku, groping out of oblivion, that had cast it after us as a fowler upon an escaping bird. "Snappy work, Rador!" It was Larry speaking. "But they cut the end off your bus all right!" A full quarter of the hindward whorl was gone, sliced off cleanly. Rador noted it with anxious eyes.
Something about it aroused in me an intense curiosity. "Where does that road lead, Rador?" I asked. "To the one place above all of which I may not tell you, Goodwin," he answered. And again I wondered. We skimmed slowly out upon the great pier. Far to the left was the prismatic, rainbow curtain between the Cyclopean pillars.
"Buck up, Larry keep your eyes on the captive Irish princess!" he muttered to himself. "Rador goes to meet one of the ladala who is slipping through with news," said the Golden Girl as we addressed ourselves to the food. "Then, with Nak, he and Olaf go to muster the Akka for there will be battle, and we must prepare.
They sauntered up to us leisurely; the surprised interest in their faces tempered by the same inhumanly gay malice that seemed to be characteristic of all these people we had as yet seen. "The Afyo Maie awaits them, Rador," said one.
"Of what use, Larree?" he said, quietly. "Me you can slay but in the end you will be taken. Life is not held so dear in Muria that my men out there or those others who can come quickly will let you by even though you slay many. And in the end they will overpower you." There was a trace of irresolution in O'Keefe's face. "And," added Rador, "if I let you go I dance with the Shining One or worse!"
The flesh was stone cold; the pulse barely perceptible, long intervalled; the respiration undiscoverable; the pupils of the eyes were enormously dilated; it was as though life had been drawn from every nerve. "A light flashed from the road. It struck his face and seemed to sink in," I said. "I saw," answered Rador; "but what it was I know not; and I thought I knew all the weapons of our rulers."
"This corial is of the swiftest Lakla's are of the slowest. With Lakla scarce a va ahead we can reach her before she enters the Portal. Lift you the Shadow we will bring her back, and this will I do for you, Serku." Doubt tempered Serku's panic. "Why not go alone, Rador, leaving the strangers here with me?" he asked and I thought not unreasonably. "Nay, then." The green dwarf was brusk.
Nor did we stop until we came to the handmaiden's boudoir. There we seated ourselves. "Now," said Larry, "two things I want to know. First how many can Yolara muster against us; second, how many of these Akka have we to meet them?" Rador gave our equivalent for eighty thousand men as the force Yolara could muster without stripping her city.
