the floor at the base of the crystal pedestal. It bent again, this time from the hinge that held the outstretched arms to the base. And now it was a huge truncated cross, a T-shaped figure, hovering only twenty feet above the pave.
Down from the Keeper writhed and flicked a tangle of tentacles; serpentine, whiplike. Silvery white, they were dyed with the scarlet and orange flaming of the surface now hidden from my eyes; reflected those sullen and angry gleamings. Vermiceous, coiling, they seemed to drop from every inch of the overhanging planes.
Something there was beneath them — something like an immense and luminous tablet. The tentacles were moving over it — pressing here,Maillot Los Angeles Clippers, thrusting there, turning, pushing, manipulating —
A shuddering passed through the crowding cones. I saw the tremor shake their bristling hosts, oscillate the great spire, set the faceted disks quivering.
The trembling grew; a vibration in every separate cone that became even more rapid. There was a faint, curiously oppressive humming — like the distant echo of a tempest in chaos.
Faster, ever faster grew the vibration. Now the sharp outlines of the cones were dissolving.
And now they were — gone.
The mount of the cones had become a mighty pyramid of pale green radiance — one tremendous,Maillot Godin, pallid flame, of which the spire was the tongue. Out from the disked wheel at its shorn tip gushed a flood of light — light that gathered itself from the leaping radiance below it.
The tentacles of the Keeper moved more swiftly over the enigmatic tablet; writhing cloudily; confusedly rapid. The faceted disks wavered; turned upward; the wheel began to whirl — faster — faster —
Up from that flaming circle, out into the sky leaped a thick, pale green column of intensest light.
With prodigious speed,Moncler Bottes Pas Cher, as compact as water, CONCENTRATE, it struck — straight out toward the face of the sun.
It thrust up with the speed of light — the speed of light? A thought came to me; incredible I believed it even as I reacted to it. My pulse is uniformly seventy to the minute. I sought my wrist, found the artery,Maillot Kompany, made allowance for its possible acceleration,Billiga Kort-sleeved Polos, began to count.
“What’s the matter?” asked Drake.
“Take my glasses,Itálie Dres Děti,” I muttered,Billiga Woolrich Parka Herr, trying to keep up,Maillot Schneiderlin, while speaking,Maillot Zusi, my tally. “Matches in my pocket. Smoke the lenses. I want to look at sun.”
With a look of stupefied amazement which, at another time I would have found laughable, he obeyed.
“Hold them to my eyes,” I ordered.
Three minutes had gone by.
There it was — that for which I sought. Clear through the darkened lenses I could see the sun spot, high up on the northern-most limb of the sun. An unimaginable cyclone of incandescent gases; an unthinkably huge dynamo pouring its floods of electro-magnetism upon all the circling planets; that solar crater which we now know was, when at its maximum, all of one hundred and fifty thousand miles across; the great sun spot of the summer of 1919 — the most enormous ever recorded by astronomicallinks:
