[To the Queen]

It is _he_ whose end you foresaw.

[The Executioner grips the Prophet by the arm.]

Voice-of-the-Gods:

The gods have lied!

King Karnos:

The jungle is sinking! It has fallen into the earth!

[The Queen smiles a little, holding his hand.]

The city is falling in! The houses are rolling towards us!

[Thunder off.]

Ichtharion:

They are coming up like a wave and darkness is coming with them.

[Loud and prolonged thunder. Flashes of red light and then
total darkness. A little light comes back, showing recumbent
figures, shattered pillars and rocks of white marble.]

[The Prophet's back is broken, but he raises the fore-part of
his body for a moment.]
