Chapter 8:

	The kind  and  lovely  lady in  white  paused,  and  from  behind  an 
orange-copper  throne  picked  up a crimson cloak lined with   that same 
colour of the throne.  She placed it around my shoulders and   explained 
that it was the symbol of 
Hod. of Splendour.

	The dance was over,
	and She told me that it was time to take my place,
	and gestured me towards the throne.

	But as I walked	a thunder-clap.
						and standing before me,
			in a flash of lightning of the deepest red-violet,
	the fearsome red man.

	His eyes glowed bright blue embers
	and his skin shone the colour of a violent storm.

	He spoke again his terrible name
		and I fell to my knees
		and in a flood of rain
	the cloak was stripped from me.

	I choked on the rain that beat so fierce
		stinging welts forming on my skin


	Lightning struck the ground before me
		and in the flash   ---	I lost my sight

	And the thunder boomed
		and in the crash   ---	I lost my hearing

	And the electricity coursed through my body
		and in the shock I lost my feeling

	I lost everything

		and in losing I realised that I was free.
