The People Of The Mist

CHAPTER XX
15/16

Now the fate is accomplished and his reign is finished.

I come with him indeed, and he is still a god, but he loves me as a son again, and bows the knee to me in service.
"Enough, ye know the ancient tale that is fulfilled this day.

Now we pass on towards our city, there to sojourn with you awhile and to proclaim the law of the Ending, and we pass alone.

There, in our city, let a place be made ready for us, a place apart, but nigh to the temple; and let food be brought to the place, that my servants may eat.

At the gates of the city also let men be waiting to bear us to that dwelling.
Let none spy upon us, lest an evil fate attend you all; and let none be disobedient, lest we pass from you back to the land of Death and Dreams.
Perchance we shall not tarry here for long, perchance we come to bring a blessing and to depart again.
