Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
170
From
hand
to
tiny
hand,
their
feet
serving
as
hands,
the
Gnomes
passed
garments--garments
of
the
Gens
of
Dalis,
and
clothed
again
the
two
whom
the
Place
of
the
Blue
Light
had
all
but
slain.
Of
that
ghastly
experiment
Sarka
retained
but
one
real
memory....
That
bluish
light,
in
the
midst
of
the
abyss,
shifting
and
swaying
like
blue
serpents
swimming
in
Hades
...
that
bluish
light
of
the
Cone,
which
he
had
broken
up
for
a
brief
moment
by
the
use
of
his
ray
director.
Was
this
bluish
light
in
the
abyss
the
source
of
the
light
in
the
Cone?
If
one
were
to
destroy
it
at
its
source....
The
two
regained
consciousness
completely
as
the
triangular
door
closed
behind
Sarka
and
Jaska
and
the
Gnomes,
and
they
were
taken
into
the
refreshing
coolness
of
the
tunnel,
led
back
again
in
the
direction
of
the
room
where
they
had
seen
the
Radiant
Woman.
Both
Jaska
and
Sarka
noticed
that
they
were
clothed
in
new
clothing,
and
a
shy
blush
tinged
the
cheeks
of
Jaska
as
her
eyes
met
those
of
Sarka.
This
time
they
entered
the
vast
chamber
of
radiance
behind
the
first
triangular
door,
and
were
forced
to
their
knees
to
do
obeisance
to
the
Radiant
Woman,
who
sat
on
a
gleaming
yellow
stone
for
dais!
The
guards
who
forced
Sarka
and
Jaska
to
their
knees,
were
clothed
in
the
green
of
the
Gens
of
Dalis,
and
Dalis
himself,
his
face
stern,
but
bearing
no
sign
of
recognition
of
these
two,
stood
at
the
right
hand
of
the
Radiant
Woman!
