And the fears of Kabok had rest from troubling Kabok any more, for they and he were among accomplished things. OF THE CALAMITY THAT BEFEL YUN-ILARA BY THE SEA, AND OF THE BUILDING OF THE TOWER OF THE ENDING OF DAYS When Kabok and his fears had rest the people sought a prophet who should have no fear of Mung, whose hand was against the prophets. |
