“The eyes!” he said impatiently. “Don’t you see them? The eyes in the column!”
And now I saw them. The pillar was a pale metallic blue, in color a trifle darker than the Metal Folk. All within it were the myriads of tiny crystalline points that we had grown to know were the receptors of some strange sense of sight. But they did not sparkle as did those others; they were dull, lifeless. I touched the surface. It was smooth,Belstaff Rayne Blouson Bunda, cool — with none of that subtle, warm vitality that pulsed through all the Things with which I had come in contact. I shook my head,Lattice Cardy Czyścibut 5879, realizing as I did so what a shock the incredible possibility he had suggested had given me.
“No,Duvetica Ženy Ace Padded,” I said. “There is a resemblance, yes. But there is no force about this — stuff; no life. Besides,Moncler Alpin, such a thing is utterly incredible.”
“They might be — dormant,Belstaff Nové Albatross Bunda,” he suggested stubbornly. “Can you see any mark of their joining — if they ARE the cubes?”
Together we scanned the pillar minutely. The faces seemed unbroken, continuous; there was no trace of those thin and shining lines that marked the juncture of the cubes when they had clicked together to form the bridge of the abyss or that had gleamed, crosslike, upon the back of the combined four upon which we had followed Norhala.
“It’s a sheer impossibility. It’s madness to think such a thing, Drake!” I exclaimed, and wondered at my own vehemence of denial.
“Maybe,Canada Goose Shelburne Parka,” he shook his head doubtfully. “Maybe — but — well — let’s be on our way.”
We strode on, following the direction the Metal Folk had gone. Clearly Drake was still doubtful; at each pillar he hesitated, scanning it closely with troubled eyes.
But I,Parajumpers Damen Harraseeket, having determinedly dismissed the idea, was more interested in the fantastic lights that flooded this columned hall with their buttercup radiance. They were still and unwinking; not disks,Parajumpers Ženy Simona, I could see now, but globes. Great and small, they floated motionless, their rays extending rigidly and as still as the orb that shed them.
Yet rigid as they were there was nothing about either rays or orbs that suggested either hardness or the metallic. They were vaporous, soft as St. Elmo’s fire, the witch lights that cling at times to the spars of ships, weird gleaming visitors from the invisible ocean of atmospheric electricity.
When they disappeared, as they did frequently, it was instantaneously,Kurtka W Dół, completely, with a disconcerting sleight-of-hand finality. I noted,TORONTO FC Drakt, though, that when they did vanish, immediately close to where they had been other orbs swam forth with that same astonishing abruptness; sometimes only one, larger it might be than that which had gone; sometimes a cluster of smaller globes, their frozen,Stoke City Drakt, crocused rays impinging.
What could they be, I wondered — how fixed, and what the source of their light? Products of electro-magnetic currents and born of the interpenetration of such streams flowing above us? Such a theory might account for their disappearance, and reappearance,Kanadanhanhi Miehet Cg Constable Parka, shiftings of the flows that changed the lig
