A sleek dark body broke water and the dolphin grin was exposed as Tino-rau answered his call. Though Ross's communication powers with the two finned scouts was very far from Karara's, he caught the message in part and swung around to face the Rovers who had crowded after him. "We have a way now of learning more about your enemies." "A boat it comes without sail or oars!" One of the crew pointed.
The Foanna sought this without hesitation, Ashe, Karara, and Ross following. Moments later they were out of the water where footing sloped back and up. Below them Tino-rau and Taua nosed the rise, their heads lifting out of the water as they "spoke." And Karara hastened to reply.
Ross did not ascribe the present blotting out of the landscape to any real manipulation of nature on the part of the all-powerful Foanna. Too many times the reputations of "medicine men" had been so enhanced by coincidence. But he did doubt the wisdom of trying to bore ahead blindly in this murk. "Taua and Tino-rau can guide us," Karara reminded him. "Throw out the rope, Ross.
Unless maybe the shaking his body had received during the past few moments had sharpened his thinking unless the Foanna had their own means of protection at the sea gate and this was the result. The dolphins.... What had made Tino-rau and Taua react as they did? And if the Rover ship was out of control, it would be a good time to attempt escape. "Loketh!" Ross dared to call louder. "Loketh!"
Ross Murdock, Gordon Ashe, Karara Trehern, Tino-rau, Taua five Terrans forever lost in time in the past with a dubious future. Would this be the barren, lotus world, or another now? Yes, no either. They had found their key to the mystery out of time, but they could not turn it, and there was no key to the gate which had ceased to exist. Grasp tight the present. Ross looked about him.
"Where there is an eater of this size, there is usually only one." "Mano-Nui!" The girl Taema shivered as she gave to this monster the name of the shark demon of her people. "Such a one is truly king shark in these waters! But why have we not sighted its like before? Tino-rau, Taua ... they have not reported such " "Probably because, as PaKeeKee says, these things are rare," Ashe returned.
Under him the boat lurched first one way and then the other in sharp jerks as if the dolphins were trying to spill them into the sea. Ross heard Karara call out, her voice thin and frightened: "Taua! Tino-rau! They have gone mad! They will not listen!" The boat raced in a zigag path. Loketh clutched at Ross, striving to steady him, to keep the boat on an even keel.
Once it's set we can't tear it down easily for transport somewhere else, so we want to be sure there's something to look at beyond." She began to wring the water out of her long hair. "Well, as far as we've explored ... nothing. Come yourself next time. Tino-rau and Taua aren't particular; they like company." Putting two fingers to her mouth, Karara whistled.
"No." "And I did not find it " Ross used a length of weed from the nest as a towel. But now he stood very still. "The gate ... no sign of it?" "Just this " She reached behind her and brought up a sealed container. Ross recognized one of the supply cans they had had in the cache by the gate. "There are others ... scattered. Taua and Tino-rau seek them now.
Now the Polynesian girl shook her head. "The broadcast there Tino-rau rates it as lethal. There are dead fish floating in the bay. He had warning at the reef entrance. Without a shield, there will be no way of getting in." "Might as well wish for a depth bomb," Ross began and then stopped. "You have thought of something?" "A shield " Ross repeated her words.
