he wondrous jeweled ribbons of its banks were broken.
Closer came the reeling City.
I fumbled for my lenses, focussed them upon it. Now I Survetement Italie saw that where the radiant lances struck they — killed the blocks blackened under them, became lustreless; the sparkling of the tiny eyes — went out; the metal carapaces crumbled.
Closer to the City — came the Monster; shuddering I lowered the glasses that it might not seem so near.
Down dropped the bristling Shapes that wrestled with the squared Towers. They rose again in a single monstrous wave that rushed to overwhelm them. Before they could strike the City swept closer; had hidden them from me.
Again I raised the glasses. They brought the metal scarp not fifty feet away — within it the hosts of tiny eyes glittered, no longer mocking POLO Hengda nor malicious, but insane.
Nearer drew the Cerro Porteno Monster — nearer.
A thousand feet away it checked its movement, seemed to draw itself together. Then like the roar of a falling world that whole side facing us slid down to the valley’s floor.
Chapter XXIX The Passing of Norhala
Hundreds of feet through must have been Kurtka Peuterey Mężczyźni Kurtka W Dół the fallen mass — within it who knows what chambers filled with mysteries? Yes, thousands of feet thick it must have been, for the debris of it splintered and lashed to the very edge of the ledge on which we crouched; heaped it with the dimming fragments Inter Milan Dres Děti of the bodies that had formed it.
We looked into a thousand vaults, a thousand spaces. There came another avalanche roaring — before us opened Cruz Azul the crater of the Maillot Liverpool Enfant cones.
Through the torn gap I saw them, clustering undisturbed about the base of that one slender, coroneted and star pointing spire, rising serene and unshaken from a hell of lightnings. But the shields that had rimmed the crater were gone.
Ventnor snatched the glasses from my hand, leveled and held Belstaff Hemley Vent Kurtki them long to his eyes.
He thrust Columbia Dresy them BVB Borussia Dortmund Fotbalové Dres back to me. “Look!”
Through the lenses the great hall leaped into full view apparently only a few yards away. It was a cauldron of chameleon flame. It seethed with the Hordes battling over the remaining walls and floor. But around the crystal base of the cones was an open zone into which none Německo Dres Dámské broke.
In that wide ring, girdling the shimmering fantasy like a circled sanctuary, were but three forms. One was the wondrous Disk of jeweled fires I have called the Metal Emperor; the second was the sullen fired cruciform of the Keeper.
The third was Norhala!
She stood at the side of that weird master of hers — or was it after all the servant? Between them and the Keeper’s planes David Desharnais Tröjor gleamed the gigantic T-shaped tablet of countless rods which controlled the activities of the cones; that had controlled the shifting of the vanished shields; that manipulated too, perhaps, the energies of whatever similar but smaller cornute ganglia were scattered throughout the City and one of which we had beheld when the Emperor’s guards had blasted Ventnor.
Close was Norhala in the lenses — so close that almost, it seemed, I could reach out and touch her. links:
