Beneath the flooding radiance sprawled Keeper and the great inert Globe that was the Goddess woman's sepulcher.
The crater filled with the pallid luminescence.

Faster and ever faster it poured down into the Pit.

And from all the lesser craters of the smaller cones swept silent cataracts of the same pale radiance.
The City began to crumble--the Monster to fall.
Like pent-up waters rushing through a broken dam the gleaming deluge swept over the valley; gushing in steady torrents from the breaking mass.

Over the valley fell a vast silence.

The lightnings ceased.
