out over an abyss that gaped at my very feet. All of a hundred feet they stretched; a slender, lustrous girder crossing unguessed depths of gloom. From far, far below came the faint whisper of rushing waters.
I faltered. For these were the blocks that had formed the body of the monster of the hollow, its flailing arms. The thing that had played so murderously with the armored men.
And now had shaped itself into this anchored, quiescent bridge.
“Do not fear.” It was the woman speaking, softly, as one would reassure a child. “Ascend. Cross. They obey me.”
I stepped firmly upon the first block, climbed to the second. The span stretched, sharp edged,Womens Adidas Stan Smith čevlji, smooth, only a slender, shimmering line revealing where each great cube held fast to the other.
I walked at first slowly,Columbus Blue Jackets Drakter, then with ever-increasing confidence, for up from the surface streamed a guiding, a holding force, that was like a host of little invisible hands, steadying me, keeping firm my feet.
