Beneath the Gaze | Description |
---|---|
20 | […]
[…] "Please – my lord. My love." The Tiger Keeper's […] voice is plaintive. "We must go. Your court takes too long to gather, and our time is short." […] The words are not for you. Something vast shifts in the deep, jewelled jungle. Eyes like glim-lamps roam. |
18 | […] "It is not that. You know it is not that." […] "But you could bring such clarity to—"
[…] We know. […] a vast serpentine coil moves […]. It is banded red, gold and black, with […] scales of purest white[…]. We have tasted the airs of your dreams, and the blood of your heart. […] |
16 | [...] One by one, you creep through the forest. [...]
Not like these graceless recusants. [...] the creature hauls itself out from the forest now, mountains of scale and flesh. The Keeper's eyes do not move from its great, swaying pupil, still ensconced in shadow. |
14 | But not you. You came of your own will, dear consort. [...] the Seventh Coil's face [...] touch the Tiger Keeper's forehead. Together, we will bathe in eternity.
You are almost at the front [...]; the final figures to lurch from the darkness are tigers, ragged and thin. |
12 | A forked tongue. Whiskers like copper wire […]. Those vast ophidian eyes, commanding the Keeper's adoring gaze, roving at last across its assembled court, silver-eyed, obeisant [...].
You are in place. You are not hidden. The Seventh Coil sees you at last. |
