’s turned off. Nothing here you can slide your knees on.”
I nodded, waddling close to his side; then sank back on my haunches to relieve the strain upon my aching leg-muscles.
“Can you see them ahead, Walter — Ruth and the woman?” Ventnor turned his anxious eyes toward me.
I peered into the glimmering New Balance 595 Mens murk; shook my Bailey Bow Czyścibut 3280 head. I could Alexander Radulov Jersey see nothing. It was indeed, as though the clustered cubes sped within a bubble of the now wanly Lee Stempniak Jersey glistening vapors; or rather as though in our passage — as a Parajumpers Męskie Kodiak projectile does in air — we piled before us a thick wave of the mists John Carlson Jersey which streaming along each side, closing in behind, obscured all that lay around.
Yet I had, persistently, the feeling that beyond these shroudings was vast Brad Richardson Jersey and ordered movement; marchings and counter-marchings of hosts greater even than those Golden Hordes of Genghis which ages agone had washed about the outer bases of the very peaks that hid this place. Came, too, flitting shadowings of huge shapes, unnameable, moving swiftly beside our way; gleamings that thrust themselves through the veils like wheeling Doug Harvey Jersey javelins of flame.
And always, always, everywhere that constant movement, rhythmic, terrifying — like myriads of feet of creatures of an Salomon Wings Flyte 2 Gore-Tex Kengät unseen, stranger world marking time just outside the threshold of our own. Preparing, DRILLING there in some wide vestibule of space between the known and the unknown, alert and menacing — poised for the signal which would send them pouring over it.
Once again I seemed to stand upon the brink of an abyss of incredible revelation, striving helplessly, struggling for realization — and so struggling became aware that our speed was swiftly slackening, the roaring blast dying down, the veils before us thinning.
They cleared away. I saw Drake and Ventnor straighten up; raised myself to my own aching knees.
We were at Al Montoya Jersey one end of a vortex, a funneling within the radiant vapors; a funnel whose further end a mile ahead broadened out Erik Gustafsson Jersey into a huge circle, its mistily outlined edges impinging upon the towering scarp of the — city. It was as though before us lay, upon its side, a cone of crystalline clear air against whose curved sides some radiant medium heavier than air, lighter than water, pressed.
The top arc of its prostrate base reached a thousand feet or more up the precipitous wall; above it all was hidden in sparkling nebulosities that were like still clouds of greenly glimmering fire-flies. Back from the curving sides of this cone, above it and below it, the pressing luminosities stretched into, it seemed, infinite distances.
Through them, suddenly, thousands of bright beams began to dart, to dance, weaving and interweaving, shooting hither and yon — like myriads of Phil Kessel Jersey great searchlights in a phosphorescent sea fog, like countless lances of the aurora thrusting through its own iridescent veils! And in the play of these beams was something appallingly ordered, appallingly rhythmic.
It was — how can I describe it? — PURPOSEFUL; purposeful as the geometric shiftings of the Little Thlinks:
