Were another of the Undead, like him, to try to do what he has done, perhaps not all the centuries of the world that have been, or that will be, could aid him.
With this one, all the forces of nature that are occult and deep and strong must have worked together in some wonderous way.

The very place, where he have been alive, Undead for all these centuries, is full of strangeness of the geologic and chemical world.

There are deep caverns and fissures that reach none know whither.

There have been volcanoes, some of whose openings still send out waters of strange properties, and gases that kill or make to vivify.

Doubtless, there is something magnetic or electric in some of these combinations of occult forces which work for physical life in strange way, and in himself were from the first some great qualities.
