So we climbed toward it through the rocks. And there, before us, on a broad summit, with the mountains rising behind it, stood a house such as we had never seen, and the white fire came from the sun on the glass of its windows. SO WE CLIMBED TOWARDS IT THROUGH THE ROCKS AND THERE BEFORE US ON A BROAD SUMMIT WITH THE MOUNTAINS RISING BEHIND IT STOOD A HOUSE SUCH AS WE HAD NEVER SEEN AND THE WHITE FIRE CAME FROM THE SUN ON THE GLASS OF ITS WINDOWS
est rose among cliffs, and whenever we walked out upon a barren stretch of rock we saw great peaks before us in the west, and to the north of us, and to the south, as far as our eyes could see. The peaks were red and brown, with the green streaks of forests as veins upon them, with blue mists as veils over their heads. We had never heard of these mountains, nor seen them marked on any map. The Uncharted Forest has protected them from the Cities and from the men of the Cities. We climbed paths where the wild goat dared not follow. Stones rolled from under our feet, and we heard them striking the rocks below, farther and farther down, and the mountains rang with each stroke, and long after the strokes had died. But we went on, for we knew that no men would ever follow our track nor reach us here. Then today, at sunrise, we saw a white flame among the trees, high on a sheer peak before us. We thought that it was a fire and stopped. But the flame was unmoving, yet blinding as liquid metal. IN OF MOUNTAINS THE FOREST ROSE AMONG CLIFFS AND WHENEVER WE WALKED OUT UPON A BARREN STRETCH OF ROCK WE SAW GREAT PEAKS BEFORE US IN THE WEST AND TO THE NORTH OF US AND TO THE SOUTH AS FAR AS OUR EYES COULD SEE THE PEAKS WERE RED AND BROWN WITH THE GREEN STREAKS OF FOREST AS VEINS UPON THEM WITH BLUE MISTS AS VEILS OVER THEIR HEADS WE HAD NEVER HEARD OF THESE MOUNTAINS NOR SEEN THEM MARKED ON ANY MAP THE UNCHARTED FOREST HAS PROTECTED THEM FROM THE CITIES AND FROM THE MEN OF THE CITIES WE CLIMBED PATHS WHERE THE WILD GOAT DARED NOT FOLLOW STONES ROLLED FROM UNDER OUR FEET AND WE HEARD THEM STRIKING THE ROCKS BELOW FARTHER AND FARTHER DOWN AND THE MOUNTAINS RANG WITH EACH STROKE AND LONG AFTER THE STROKES HAD DIED BUT WE WENT ON FOR WE KNEW THAT NO MEN WOULD EVER FOLLOW OUR TRACK NOR REACH US HERE THEN TO DAY AT SUNRISE WE SAW A WHITE FLAME AMONG THE TREES HIGH ON A SHEER PEAK BEFORE US WE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS A FIRE AND WE STOPPED BUT THE FLAME WAS UNMOVING YET BLINDING AS LIQUID METAL
