Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930
·
Various
184
Together
the
two
plunged
in,
and
it
seemed
all
at
once
as
though
the
fire
had
gone
out
of
the
white
flames,
for
they
were
cool
and
soothing
to
the
touch.
Sarka
could
feel
new
life
being
borne
in
him,
could
feel
himself
revitalized,
exalted,
lifted
to
the
heights.
He
suddenly
experienced
the
desire
to
run,
and
shout
his
joy
for
all
to
hear.
But
reason
held
him.
Not
thus
easily
would
Luar
and
Dalis,
the
traitor,
give
over
their
designs
against
these
two.
But
in
the
heart
of
the
flames,
they
dropped
down,
while
they
turned
their
faces
toward
the
base
of
the
Cone,
or
where
they
thought
the
base
to
be,
even
as
Sarka
gave
another
command
to
the
now
invisible
people
of
the
Gens
of
Dalis.
"Hold
your
ovoids
in
your
mouths
and
follow!
Obey
my
will!"
They
dropped
now
to
what
seemed
to
be
cool
flagstones,
while
above
them
showed
an
orifice
in
a
wall,
into
which
those
tongues
of
flame
were
darting.
They
paused
there,
side
by
side,
their
faces
radiant,
and
looked
back
the
way
they
had
come.
Coming
out
of
the
white
flames,
like
battalions
on
parade,
were
the
people
of
the
Gens
of
Dalis--scores
and
hundreds
of
them,
who
had
sensed
and
heeded
the
mental
commands
of
Sarka.
Like
genii
appearing
out
of
the
flames
they
came,
to
muster
about
Sarka
and
Jaska.
Then,
when
it
seemed
that
no
more
were
coming,
Sarka
turned
to
the
base
of
the
Cone,
his
face
high
shining
with
courage
and
confidence,
and
stepped
straight
into
the
flames
that
led
into
the
Cone.
Beside
him
came
Jaska,
while
behind
him
came
the
people
of
the
Gens
of
Dalis
who
dared
to
do
as
he
had
commanded.
