King Karnos:
How? Voice-of-the-Gods: Why... there will be a sound... as the riving of wood... a sound as of thunder coming up from the ground. A cleft will run like a mouse across the floor. There will be a red light, and then no light at all, and in the darkness Thek shall tumble in. [The King sits in deep thought. Exit Prophet slowly; he begins to weep, then casts his cloak over his face. He stretches out his arms to grope his way and is led by the hand. The King sits thinking.] Tharmia: Save us, your Majesty. Arolind: Save us. Ichtharion: We must fly, your Majesty. Ludibras: We must escape swiftly. |
