I don't know that not literally figuratively What like watching behind their glasses? but I also feel like This is somebody who ran from a relationship that you know, you guys were in Gaslighting perception focusing outward looking watching I feel like Like I don't know who this is. Is this someone that you were dating before it could have been forever ago It could have been just recently.  I'm keeping positive about things Despite what somebody else is doing.  I feel like this person might be watching to see if you're like happy or If you are getting married or if you're with somebody. Yeah, that feels like the energy that's going on here Virgo Okay, so the person might wear glasses or they're you know, they wear sunglasses all the time But not like maybe they get some ray bids They kind of look like that what just fell Okay Strengthen the reverse. All right, so there's Listen Virgo. I feel like you're getting your strength back. This is this is what I feel like's going on with you Okay, you're definitely getting your confidence back your self-esteem You are Getting back into loving yourself again having that self-respect Courage, you know because the strength in the reverse can kind of be like feeling fearful or Dealing with discord or self-sabotage energy or just feeling disgraced, but I kind of feel like you are Turning things around here for yourself, you know, like it's it's really just a matter of you, you know loving yourself again and It feels like also like Counting your blessings. This is what I feel like it's going on here rather than looking at the negative. I feel like you're You're I don't know if you're making a gratitude list or really just kind of like making a list of all the good things to remind you Remind yourself or telling yourself Maybe you're having a conversation with someone or some people and saying, you know life really is you know Yeah, I'm a little weak right now. You might feel a little weak But I feel like you're you're you're working to come out of that whatever the issue is here, okay? You're working to come out of a negative Mindset and get into a positive mindset. You're not like full-on And this is not all of you, but someone here. It's not full-on Strong and you could be on the cusp of Leo and Virgo as well Okay. Yeah, look you've got the page of cups and this feels like towards yourself You are really like I'm seeing selfies Taking some selfies maybe Virgo or just kind of I don't know that you might be sending them, but I feel like you're just kind of Loving yourself like you know what I mean like being nice to yourself being sweet This is like a new love relationship that I feel like you're having with yourself, okay? Let me see what else is going on here. I Just like your energy that's really all I have to say what's going on Because I feel like it's like there's someone here who will be very difficult to deal with okay? Going in through the next month. All right, and I feel like this person is just popping in taking a peek and then running away and somebody's playing like I Was gonna say door dash Ding dong ditch right they're poking the bear somebody's poking the bear okay We have the king of pentacles, so you could be dealing with another earth sign for sure wherever it is in their chart They're definitely keeping an eye on you, but they're being shady. Oh my gosh. Yes, Virgo Interestingly for your singles reading we did have the king of pentacles showing up here yesterday So this could be a continuation of that, but I don't really feel like it I feel like it's a different energy mostly this king of pentacles is a Taurus card Okay, there could be a Leo you're connecting with it could be a Pisces But that yeah, this king of pentacles is being like super shady hiding in the shadows That's what I'm saying. They got their sunglasses on like this person. Where is their sunglasses at night? I know who sings that I can't remember I wear my sunglasses tonight. It's just really being very shady. Okay, and I don't know Virgo. I just kind of feel like you're like yeah, they can be whatever the hell they want to be I really don't care. I'm doing my own thing if they're watching. Let me give them a movie I'm gonna show my dinner. I'm gonna show them, you know my workout routine I'm gonna show them this like brand new bag.  Okay, so Virgo, I just feel like this month like the end of April and the month of May is this person popping in and popping out like Watching you and then like disappearing or running away being very shady.  Okay, and Virgo, I just see you being like I've had enough of this Because this whole situation, you know when someone keeps poking and poking and it's like a Chinese water torture You know just keep poking and poking and poking and it wears you down, you know, like how your little brother Your little sister stop touching me stop touching me and they keep doing it finally just explode like I feel Virgo that that's what this is This is what's happening. Okay, and this person they come in with the Page of Pentacles energy Coming in to tell you some great news or something and then you try to talk to them and then they don't respond They disappear. All right Virgo, I see you just being like no, that's it. I'm done with this Like we're either gonna like pick a freaking lane like pick a lane This person's weaving in and out of lanes They're all over the map very unstable, which is odd because the King of Pentacles generally is very stable But the moon represents emotions and the moon is instability Okay It's like the cycles of the moon Okay, so you could be dealing with a someone that is having maybe a mood disorder Or they have hormonal shifts or something or you could you know There's a guy here who's got like hormonal mood is very moody or something going on like that Whatever the situation is they might be stable more so like in their career and You know like their house is made of concrete and they have a decent car and you know like all that stuff in money in the bank But emotionally with the moon like they cycle They cycle up and down in and out Very weird behavior very weird behavior, and I just kind of feel like for you Virgo. It just feels like Going forward you're like now I'm trying to be happy look at this Virgo This is abundance.  I'm hearing I'm free And as far as those wedding rings like it's like Virgo I just feel like for you you're freeing yourself up to get out of this energy or away from someone that is Just very inconsistent and emotionally unstable so that you can you know find a partner find a soulmate in your life Okay, and I think that's good. I think that's really good. You have double Leo here So like I said some of you could be on like you could have heavy Leo in your chart to be on the cusp of Leo and Virgo Okay, so Or you're just a Virgo.  Whatever the situation. You know what I just want to tell you Okay, no, I don't so I feel like your intentions are clear with yourself here That despite with other another person is doing here you're maintaining your position to not let it affect you and You're kind of like detaching and separating yourself. You're not owning why this person is doing what they're doing You're staying very positive. You're opening up some of you might even expose this person Because they're hiding You might expose this person or call them out on their behavior And you might even tell them like in a kind way, but then also say you're done with us Like you are not dealing with this toddler-like behavior.   What is those what is gosh real fortune.   I hope I do.  I hope to God that you are getting yourself away from this toxic Toxic broken energy whoever this person is. Okay, I really do because it is it feels like so unhealthy And I mean I do see here in the messages that you are like putting an end to it and freeing yourself and getting back out Into the Sun and being happy, joyous and free. I do see that What is this person gonna do Virgo just decides They're not Doing anything here. They're not Virgo's not gonna Engage with this person anymore. What are they gonna do? Okay? They're gonna get real quiet. Okay? The high priestess.  What are you dealing with like a knock or something? They're gonna come in with the big love bomb. Oh Who's that? Okay, they just give me a song. I Never thought that I need somebody like you Lyle love it. I Why are they giving me that song? I'm seeing two people on a beach. It's so 90s or 80s Something games. I think it was called. I can't remember. They just gave me that image I don't know. Anyway, yeah, so I feel like this person They want to see how like if they throw a bone how far you'll go to fetch it I Really feel like that's what this person is doing and then if you stop fetching the bone Yeah, they're gonna come in with the big love bomb like oh, you're my soulmate. We're meant for each other Virgo, don't fall for the okey-doke. Okay, cuz anybody's coming in that mature You think they're automatically gonna just get better or change and be mature Just like in the next day like no, that's crazy talk It would just be like more magic tricks if somebody's like that, you know, people don't have wake-up calls like within 15 minutes You know, if you tell somebody I'm done. I'm out. Goodbye, and then they're calling you back. Oh, I'm gonna change Oh, I'm doing this and no, that's just to keep you on the line.  They talk out the sides of their mouth all the time, right?    I don't have the energy to you know, they go back to their old ways This message feels very strong for some of you Like I don't really like to tell you guys what to do, but I do think like if you're dealing with someone like this Who's playing the old okey-doke?   Free yourself from this because this is just someone who is extremely immature like a five-year-old a Five-year-old. Okay. This is someone that I'm seeing here Who is not getting their way. They're a spoiled brat.  It's like it's like a joker It's a joker trying to catch off guard, right and look Virgo if you entertain that you're just gonna get weaker and weaker and weaker It's abuse of power and I feel like if you allow somebody to puppet string you like that They're there then that's just being like very controlling Okay, um and you'll self-sabotage yourself Yeah, Virgo, that means to see what your romance angels messages are here I don't like this energy and I feel like this is definitely for someone specific I like that you I do feel like you you know if you're not sure it looks like You're gonna just like become completely hit rock bottom with this, okay? Possibly in May and if you don't you know like if this person You know some of you know that they're watching you you see them somehow watching you somehow, but they don't do anything They watch Maybe they watch your story Maybe it's something on social media or they look at you at work or you catch them from around the corner You see them every once in a while Or they pop in a text to you or a phone call and they leave a voicemail And you try to call them back or reply and they're gone And they don't answer back for days and days that kind of energy if that's what you're dealing with like I mean Unless this person is 36,000 feet in scuba in a scuba submarine under the water and they have no signal or they're at the highest peak of a mountain They have no signal. They're out now to space and they have no I mean well Elon Musk has satellites up there So I don't think that's gonna be a problem But whatever they're there or they're stuck inside the body of an alligator I don't freaking know like people can text or reply when they're sitting on the shitter They're sitting on the toilet. You know what I mean?  You don't need Let's say Okay This could be the one engagement. What's going on here.  If this is resonating for you like put your feelings aside? Put your romantic attraction.  There's no chance in hell this thing's gonna work So if you've already got it in your head that this could be the one because you feel something you need to set your feelings aside Like take a minute set your feelings aside and ask yourself Is this person showing up for me the way I would be showing up for them? You know what I mean?   I could down that thing like nobody's business a big glass of Milk. Oh my god. No, it would be on but I don't indulge because I know That that is so bad for me and trust me when I tell you Kelly and chocolate cake have chemistry and we are tremendously compatible. Okay, but that cake is toxic It's toxic I can have a little bit of it and then I got a you know push it back from the table That's it. I gotta have a little self-discipline And I think that's what you need here like you need to have some self-discipline You might think this is like you've met the person of your dreams Or you might have already thought that you might think it if you meet them going forward And then you see yourself being engaged to this person or having a long-term commitment because I don't know There's a lot of things that you feel are compatible, but You can't look at like say if there's you gotta have ten things of compatibility and let's say you got six I mean you got to look at the whole thing. You can't negate the The four things that you're not compatible with because they could be big serious things, you know what I mean? You guys definitely like There has to be more than Just the romantic feelings and the fact that you know, there's several other similarities there has to be more Okay So Virgo engagement wedding and you do have that over here as well You know, I do feel like this is your energy and this is what you want in your life And I think that's healthy and I think that's wonderful. Okay, but I feel like You're either coming to terms in May that this person Could be the one but isn't really going to be on the roster because of these games that they're playing and You know, you might just decide, you know, I'm just gonna step back because this person needs to like grow up You can't fix them. You can't change them step back if you do for yourself so you can regain your strength again Okay, or you can maintain your strength Because this kind of stuff is like being out in the playground playing kickball for 23 hours, like if you if you're like if you're not you don't have that kind of endurance and stamina you're gonna collapse right and this person, I don't know what it is but They seem to have the endurance and stamina to keep coming back and bringing your doorbell and then ditching You know, I feel like I just feel like be really careful Yeah retreat. I feel like if anything I'm not telling you to like I'm not telling you like that you should or you shouldn't completely end it with somebody here But I feel like you need to step back and kind of let that that The what am I trying to say let the fog dissipate so you can see a little bit clearly in regards to What's going on here? Okay? I feel like the need to do a Celtic cross and I told you guys this was gonna be a Longer reading, but I feel like I really want to do a Celtic cross Spread and I haven't done that in a little while. So Let me do that Let me have a look and see what other messages I can never pick up my cards. Okay What other messages there are for Virgo, we're gonna do Virgo Celtic cross reading a second reading here All right past position eight of wands Okay, so we got a whole bunch of stuff going on here Okay past position eight of wands current you've got the death card Crowning you've got the seven of pentacles. You have the chariot. I know you can't see them Sorry driving the reading you have the five of wands in the near future Okay, whoa position of you. You have the seven of swords Other person Seven of wands All right, I can tell you right now and you and this other person are definitely I don't know who this other person is but your energy and the energy that's external to you is all about insight and Inner awareness, but we'll see what else is going on here. Okay Justice hopes and fears The outcome is the lovers and crossing the death card is The nine of swords. Okay bottom of the deck you have the three of pentacles. So there is an energy here of Working something out together two people figuring some stuff out and working something out together now Mind you this is a separate reading Okay, if it resonates for you coming from the first reading fine, but this is a separate reading. There's two people here Who are trying to figure out how to make something better how to create something how to? excavate Something learning how to make it looks like perhaps like a partnership or a project make a partnership better Okay, that's the overall message of past energy is the eight of wands So there was definitely some news that came to you in the past. Okay Virgo And I feel like it came pretty quickly, right? It was just out of the blue like fell out of the sky Okay, like a like a like a bird that got shot like it just came out of nowhere Okay, and it may have had something to do with some travel or connecting with someone in regards to like some travel or There was a connection that was made in the past that came out of the blue and then you've got the 10 of cups So this was a harmonious very lovely coming together could have been a marriage Family thing total love and support just came out of the blue cupid's arrows for sure But something right now is in the position of ending and there's a lot of stress around this Okay, something right now is there's change in transition. There's endings Of course, which always leads to new beginnings, but there is a struggle that's happening here right now There might be a little bit of suffering That someone is feeling with the death card There's definitely big changes and an energy of like moving on transformation and a time to move on Okay, yeah, and this is like right timing like Do what's best for you do the right thing be true to yourself Be honest with yourself and be fair with yourself. You're in a position. It looks like It looks like you're transitioning you're getting out of something the real challenge is to not stress yourself out about this Okay, because I see you having maybe some heavy-duty dreams the Nine of Swords or a feeling of Just anxiety of some sort. I don't know sip a little night. We'll have a You know a little something to relax yourself before you go to bed, whatever it is it could be Herbal melton and whatever it is because I kind of feel like you get into bed maybe you look at your phone and you're stressing about something that you're seeing on your phone or maybe something you're not seeing on your phone or Whatever it is or looking at a Maybe an iPad or a laptop or something. I see also some migraines somebody's having some migraines Yeah, there's like Hold on a second. I can't even wait. Is that what I think it is That looks like an eagle. There's some Somebody cut off some communication as well. So there's some stress about that You might have done that and asking yourself should I've done that was that the right thing to do? Maybe you were too hasty or someone else did it for you or did it to you and there's just like a hard time sleeping Some of you are needing to put on like an eye mask to keep the dark out. I don't know. I'm feeling like mental stress Putting you also may not be at night, but also kind of like making you just want to go to sleep or lay in your bed And sleep something off. Okay Let me just get a clarifying card for that oh Well, of course of course there was there's either some argument or a separation or Some health news are worrying about some health stuff There's something here to do.   Like it's a lot Virgo You've got a lot going on you do and I feel like for some of the guys this is just like Something that that ended or something that's ending or has ended either by your hands or by the hands of another and The message here is like, yes, you have to do what is right. It could be a divorce also Or some kind of a breakup, but it's like I just feel like with justice There's a cause and effect here and the truth is coming out for sure about something that needs to end and whether that's something Or something that's ending whether that's something you're telling yourself or something is being told to you Now what's driving this reading is the chariot Virgo. I really feel like you are seriously wanting to Just run that's kind of what I feel you want everything to just be over you want things to just change You want to take your taking action for sure in your life right now to make massive changes some of you You could be moving or just trying to get out like I just feel like you just want to get in your car and Go, I don't know where to Take some kind of a journey. Yeah, let me see here. Oh, oh Yeah, okay, some of you just want to talk to your mom or connect with an older friend or go take a trip or This feels like connect with an Empress and the Empress very nurturing Okay, a good parent and some of you are just like and Others it's just this desire to get back into your creative abundance with who you are within yourself, right? Let me see what's crowning because you got this listen Virgo. You got the seven of pentacles so Wow, Virgo.  You're definitely like contemplating it But it's because of your grief that you're running away from your pain That's what I feel like is there, but you know wherever you go.  So it's like Choose your pain Virgo choose your battle whatever is going on with you if you need to get help Or you need to seek somebody. Okay, this is pregnancy to for some of you And it may not be you it could be someone you're connected to There may be a fear that there isn't gonna be a pregnancy or there would have to be like some kind of a c-section or some Kind of a surgery in regards to that There's like a I don't know there's a struggle here Somebody's fearing that there could be a loss of a child as well But it's like I feel like your fear is overriding you. I don't even know if this is a love Reading but it kind of feels like it is like you're coming into some conflict here Virgo for sure. Let me see what's going on Okay page of pentacles and The ten of wands Virgo, you know, I Gotta tell you like I don't feel like you're making stuff up I don't feel like you're overthinking things But I feel like the little fears that you're having at night are gonna start Snowballing and affecting you during your day and every decision you make going forward I feel like because that's what I see happening struggle tension stress exhaustion fighting with others Issues with money, you know plans not going Materializing the way you want them to I feel Virgo, you know You have to nip something in the bud here when you begin to get really Stressed like you have to find a way to distract yourself with progressive positive Reminders affirmations or movements or goals, you know Even if that means if you're laying in bed at night and you have it and you're having a migraine find ways To make yourself feel better And then if you have to see a doctor do that if you're going through a breakup or or Something has ended or if there was a third-party thing you have to find a way to pray You you can't take revenge out. I don't feel like you're trying to do that I feel like if anything you just want to run away from it But I feel like you've got to give it to God and just really do your best to comfort and soothe yourself while doing that, you know and just kind of like Whatever you're seeing whatever you're being told whatever the images are whatever the struggle is Or your fears whatever is coming up, you know fears are Fears are fears and they feel very real at times, but They're they're all coming from your head. Okay, unless you have an actual fear But even still you like the thing is like love and fear cannot coexist together So you have to choose do you want to be in a place of love and Sit in that energy where you know, you you pray to a higher power and say I know everything's gonna be okay No, you're gonna take care of this for me.  You might want to have a little getaway and that might help relieve some of the pressure but Whatever the situation is that you are dealing with This feels like a heavy-duty reading I See like if you don't manage your anxiety or your fears your stress You're gonna come into some some struggles here. All right, so you've got the seven of swords And this is in your position of your advice Okay, what's going on here again?  Yes Okay, sneak away for a little bit. Yes, if you need to and whatever that means If you need to lock yourself in the bathroom for three hours get away from your kids or your dog or you know yours Whoever you live with or whatever's going on You just need to take a time out make sure you get that for yourself for some of you This is like legit if you're at work You need to like go outside and walk around The buildings go out and get a nice brisk fresh walk if you can do that. Okay, I Just feel like you if you're struggling with a work thing here You've got a work problem going on you need to like see if you can get a couple days off or take some kind of a Get your vacation in if you've already had you have no days. You have no vacation Make sure that you set aside your free time when you're not at work That that is only your time for laughter enjoyment and happiness Family friends or whomever your soul tribe is. Okay. There's an energy here of needing to get away from the soul tribe All right, so we're gonna take a look here at what's external to you. You're getting pushback. Oh my gosh you're getting pushback from People or a person and this is what is causing all this All this because I don't get it everything looked fine in the beginning here everything looked amazing But what is this? defensive energy and the page of swords again gossip Someone who's like spying Someone's very curious seeking the truth, but yeah, oh my gosh, and now you've got the double card burgo Hmm You've got some toxic stuff Surrounding you. I'm just gonna keep it real there in in external to you And that's what's causing all this and I don't know specifically What it is or who it is it could be people of work could be your family it could be a lover It could be someone your separation from or divorce Could be your neighbor it could be Some friends Whatever is external to you that is giving you these problems or is just very toxic Virgo, I feel like This whatever started out good Like has become very unmanageable. Okay. Now. I said in the beginning that there was a seven here inner awareness insight success Let me just say it this way whatever sick whoever's external to you with this toxic energy and this spying and this gossip and these prying They feel they're being successful because they know it's getting to you That's their goal. Okay, but they don't understand also that you have me They don't understand that you also have the seven and You know that you'll be successful by not letting them see you sweat Because you're gonna take whatever you need to regroup to refresh and to trust yourself that You will make the right decision to deal with this situation, right? You might be laying in your bed night stressing about the whole thing. They don't know that but Whoever these people are person is they can sense it on you when they see you When they've seen you or even if they don't see you although they are seeing you somehow they can sense it you have to maintain like a complete poker face and Never let people see that they have any kind of power over you like these are like devil minion games That's what I feel like is going on here. You also have justice again. Okay, so Virgo, I remember when I was saying before I didn't like I don't feel like you're going to be seeking vengeance I don't feel like that's your thing. Okay, and I don't really feel like Virgos are like that I do they have the potential I think anybody would have the potential but I don't see that I feel like your Hope is that whoever is causing problems for you that they're gonna get their karma and have some kind of wake up For whatever it is.  Pray it Let it go And and ask, you know if if if somebody stole from you or cheated or they're trying to throw you under the bus With something in your life Or just being very like abusive to you or being mean to you, you know and You're not like people who are just like that in general and are you if you feel like you're being targeted You know, I had to say the God don't like that That is not good and those people generally it's a what goes around comes around kind of thing And it looks to me like you're hoping I think you might have a little bit of fear that that's not gonna happen But that's because you're not trusting You just have to be patient about whatever this energy is in May, okay For sure because it is gonna come back around to whoever is trying to hurt you, right and you will have peace now Look, you've got the lovers in the outcome. Let me see what's going on here.  I feel like that what you think or what you thought was someone. Oh, I just realized I have nudies on here Oh my gosh Anyway, I'm not covering up these cards with bikinis because these are wonderful cards. Um, so what you think or what you thought was a true soul partnership and What I feel like It's drained here. I feel like it's done and I feel like you're gonna be the one to initiate something ending here, okay as far as You might be walking away like just packing your bags and going or you might just be in a position where you just tell yourself You know what? I'm setting boundaries here and nobody's gonna affect me like this or I'm just getting out of dodge Okay, I feel like that's the outcome and I feel like you're All you're sweating and all you're worrying you don't have to do because everything is gonna get solved for you And look how you're look how you're ending with the very card that you started with the eight of wands So Virgo, I feel like you're going to kind of Also gray rock All right, you know, I can't pick up my cards You're gonna gray rock or leave like whomever out in the cold the situation if it's a love relationship or whatever Abandon the whole thing Isolate You're either gonna isolate or insulate whatever it is, but I don't feel like you're going to be Like this is really barren here, you know, this is like broke busted and disgusted this is like poverty mindset, okay And I feel like you're you're gonna leave whomever with like very little to go on there's no warmth here And there's no growth, but I also feel like you're gonna find love again Towards the end of May going into June. Absolutely I Do I feel like you're gonna get some kind of communication or a message This too shall pass. Okay, if it's not the end of June just going into this year I feel like this whole situation you're don't overstress it. Okay, I Have to say that like a hundred percent. Don't let it affect your health Virgo Because it will get taken care of you can trust that and you can trust me Maybe it's a Capricorn you're connecting with you can trust that this whole situation Like God's got your back and I'm gonna promote that because I truly believe that and you have to trust that Because I like I just feel like you can just Jesus take the wheel take your hands off the wheel Virgo Get a good night's sleep and trust that whomever in your life People places and things are doing are targeting you for things or just and I'm not seeing like oh you feel paranoid You're taking a person. I'm talking about like real deal stuff. Whatever's happened trust that they will get theirs Everybody gets their comeuppance. You know what I mean? Like everything comes out in the wash and I you're not gonna have to Just give it to God and just turn around say right now.

16 Gunnar and Odin followed the hedge for a long way until they came out against the far side of the dome. The noise of fighting still continued. It was back of them but drawing nearer. Odin guessed or hoped that Ato and Val were driving the defenders before them. They came out upon a lane that was flanked by the beautiful colonnades. Near them was one of the entrances to the tunnels below, and beside it was one of the stone cressets with a high flaring flame. At the end of the lane was a deus. Upon this deus stood Grimhagen, shouting in instructions to a crew of white-skinned soldiers below him who were trying to set up a strange machine. It looked like a model of Saturn balanced upon a tripod, except that it had three concentric rings about it. Grimhagen's shirt was scorched and tattered. It was falling from his lean shoulders. His face was seamed and lined. The muscles upon his neck stood out in cords. His hair was gray now. His left arm was gashed from elbow to wrist, and blood was dripping down his fingers. He dashed the drops aside as he screamed orders. His black eyes still blazed with that old feral hate, and though the years had twisted him, his hips were still as thin as an apaches, and he looked iron-hard. Odin and Gunnar knelt beside the railing that marked the entrance to the tunnels below. Neither Hagen nor his men saw them. Gunnar grasped Odin's shoulders and pulled him down. "'It isn't,' he whispered in Odin's ear. "'Do you hear anything strange?' Odin listened. Above the tumult behind them came that same sound which he had heard out in the plane. A whining, purring sound. The purring of a tiger feeding contentedly. Then screams drowned out the whining sound, and Odin wondered if he had not imagined it. Nearly a hundred of the defenders came running toward Grimhagen. They were in mad flight now. Most of them were weaponless. Grimhagen cursed them, rallied them about and urged them to pick up new weapons and fight. Now Ato and Val and another hundred men came charging forward. Leaving three men to set up the strange machine, Grimhagen's trained Aldevarians met them. They clashed head on, blade against blade, fist against bone. They held there like two wrestlers evenly matched. For a moment Grimhagen's men were forced back. Then some new defenders swarmed out of the side alleys and joined them. A head was poked up from the stairway below. Gunnar split the man's skull and sent him tumbling down upon some new replacements. Now Grimhagen spied Odin and Gunnar as they advanced to help Ato. Standing upon the deus, his face livid with rage. Hagen pointed to them and screamed. As mad as any of the last Caesar's who had gone insane from too much power. Look men of the Lawrence! Hagen cried, still pointing. I will give immortality to the men who bring me those two alive! The first two to reach Gunnar and Odin died at the end of Gunnar and Odin's swords. Your immortality doesn't last very long, Grimhagen! Gunnar shouted as he wiped his blade. Then another man came up the stairway. Odin killed him and flung him back upon the men who followed. But reinforcements were pouring in from other lanes. Grimhagen and his men now numbered over a thousand. Seeing Odin and Gunnar, Ato swung his men over against the subway entrance. They rallied there. Grimhagen's soldiers came at them. Ato, Gunnar and Odin stood side by side and led the counterattack that forced them back upon Grimhagen's strange machine. But Hagen's men rallied and drove them back again, almost to the stairway. The next drive will get us. Ato groaned. Race yourselves, men! But the next drive did not come. Suddenly a dozen screaming wretches, they can no longer be called soldiers, came running up the street. They joined Grimhagen's men and gibbered in fear as they pointed back. From down there came a sudden burst of music. Odin's heart leaped when he heard it. It was the old Song of the Bronze, but the lights were burning low back there and as yet he could see nothing. Then they came, Nia and Mea, walking side by side. Behind them were a half-dozen women playing fiefs and horns. One was carrying a tattered flag. Behind the musicians came a motley crowd. Old women, young women, half-grown children and dozens of old men, all were armed. And they came forward like a rack of a surviving army at Judgement Day. Oh, there was something noble about them and pitiful too, and something terrible, for before them floating upon the air like bobbing heads were Nia's four phantoms, the Kalis, whining hungrily as they came, their copper hair trailing about them. One caught a fugitive as he lagged behind and he died screaming. The Kalis started this way and that, and Grimhagen's men writhed. Their muscles clenched, their jaws set as though tetanus had struck them. They slid to the marble street and died. And the Kalis laughed and whined and screamed as they fed. Even above their feeding song and the screams of their victims came the shrill triumphant cry of Nia urging them on. Nor was the rest of Mea's army still. One old brawn who had been a slave of Grimhagen for too long had found a shotgun among Grimhagen's treasures and was blasting away. They were armed with everything from staves, blunderbuses, old .44s and sharps rifles to machine guns. They fired and fired. Grimhagen's men went down. But though dozens of ill-aimed shots were fired at him, Grimhagen still lived, dodging here and there, rallying his men and urging his gun crew to finish setting up that odd weapon. They were left of the thousand that had rallied to Grimhagen, but another thousand were coming up through the hedges from other lanes and streets. Although it was a gallant, ragged little army that Nia and Mea led, it would have lasted no longer than a straw in a whirlwind had it not been for the Kalis. They appeared to be enjoying themselves. Even as Grimhagen's men were not. They zigzagged this way and that. They purred. They fed. They were stronger now, and their movements were quicker. Their victims died faster. And as they forged forward, Nia was growing in strength. She leapt after them, leaving Mea to command the small army. She screamed.  Here was no girl trained to work in a laboratory. This was a high priestess, long to write it and forgotten, come back from the stars to recur vengeance. Good God! Odin was thinking. What unexplored labyrinths are left in the human brain? Then there was no time for thinking. The Lawrence, who were trying to gain the stairway, had finally dislodged the two bodies that Odin and Gunnar had flung down upon them. They came up like a surging tide, and for the next few minutes Odin and Gunnar were busy. Gunnar had never been any happier in his life. He talked to his sword and he growled at those who they killed. He yelled at Eito and Mea's wearying armies, urging them to go on and account themselves well. He stood by Odin's side, and the two hacked and thrust until the stairway was chocked with bodies and no one was left to assail them. He and Odin were splashed with blood. The tumult was deafening. The tiger screams of the Calus, the agonized torment of their prey, the gun blast from Mea's army, the cry of Eito, who had hacked his way almost to Gunnar and Odin, the victory scream of Mea and broken music. Even above all this the mad curses and commands of Grimhagen. Some of Grimhagen's Lawrence were in flight. Most of them were dead, but his white-skinned warriors held firm. Not over a dozen were left at Grimhagen's side. Two were still working with the odd-shaped weapon. There were other Lawrence coming out of the hedges, but they held back they had seen enough. Had Fortune favored Eito then, his army would have won. But at the precise moment when the balance was swinging toward the bronze, Grimhagen's gun crew got the strange weapon unlimbered. The globe started turning. Unseen motors roared within it. As they spun out like gleaming strands of cobwebs, coils of light came flickering toward the attacking bronze. Like blue-white ripples they went across the fore-running calis. The ripples of light went on expanding. The shotgun in the hands of the old bronze suddenly burst to pieces. The old rifles fell apart. The newer machine guns talked briefly and then disappeared in a burst of flame that took their masters with them. The first coil of light struck Odin. There was a tingling sensation, neither painful nor pleasant. But it went through his body like a mild opiate. He did not want to sleep. He really wanted to relax and forget this slaughter. He fought against it. Gunnar leaned against him, suddenly weak and shaken. More whitening circles of light swept out upon them. Eito and Meia's troops fell back. Those who had been armed with explosive weapons had died. Odin was almost too weak to lift his sword. From the stairway below came a scrabbling sound, as men pulled the corpses away from the stairs. Meia's calis reeled back. She urged them on and they advanced like corks bobbing on ripples of light. Three moves slowly toward Grimhagen's machine. A fourth faltered and fell back. The calis were no longer screaming their frightful song. The purr of victory was gone. Instead they yowled, a savage, tormented scream as though they had been cornered by an enemy they could not understand. But the three moved forward while the fourth hesitated behind them. As though struggling against a heavy flood they came on. The gun crew died defending their whirling weapon. The three calis swarmed over like bees smothering the enemy, Odin thought. The pulsing coiling light died. There was a burst of flame. The weapon and the three calis suddenly became one immense sardonyx that blazed huge in grand for a brief moment. Then the jewel blaze burned out, and a handful of ashes sifted to the ground. The fourth cali was undone. It tried to go forward against the jewel fire, then it hesitated and darted back. With a shrill cry of fear it flung itself into Nia's arms, its coppery tentacles holding her close, in a last effort to escape destruction. She had said before that the calis were nearest thanks to human that could be made. She had been the poor relation, the daughter of a dreaming failure. Perhaps something of the fear and doubt which Nia had known all her life had gone into the making of the calis. She screamed once more in bewilderment than pain, so a favorite cat had suddenly clawed her.  He'd emitted one weak purr, then it stopped purring and moving forever. Grimhagen's Lawrence, who had been clinging to the hedges, now came forward triumphantly. Both came back to Gunnar and Odin. The attackers had cleared the stairway again, and once more Gunnar and Odin threw them back. By now both Atoh and Meah had swung their shattered little armies over to the subway entrance. Hagen had retreated from the deus. Meeting the advancing Lawrence, he'd led them forward. Those on the stairway retreated as they saw that they were no longer against two warriors. Gunnar rested his sword against his leg and reached out with huge arms and pulled Atoh and Odin toward him. "'Down there!' he pointed toward the stairway. "'There is plenty of room to fight, and those who have been coming up don't seem to be so strong. Forge your way down there and make another stand. Make a barricade if you can. Up here you will soon be surrounded.' "'But Grimhagen will be at our heels,' Odin protested. Gunnar laughed deep in his throat. "'Oh, no. The stairway is narrow. A strongman could hold the entrance for some time. Perhaps a long, long time, and Gunnar is strong. To get at you, Grimhagen would either have to go down the stairway or take another entrance. These entrances are few and far apart.' "'Go with Meah, Atoh,' Odin said, and I will stay here with Gunnar. "'No, the entrance is narrow. You would be in the way,' Gunnar protested. "'Now go. Oh, but the Valkyries will be busy tonight.' Atoh and Odin led the rush down the stairs. There were only a dozen men below, and they had already tired of warfare. Three fell, and the others rushed off into the shadows. Atoh and Meah's fighters tumbled after them. There were only a few of the old people and children left. Now they found themselves in a huge room which was filled with benches and small machines. It was evidently a woodworking shop. The room was lit by several of the high-flearing crests of stone. It was rectangular, about the sides of a football field. They were fortunate that there were no heavy machinery left here. From each side dim-lighted tunnels led off into the distance. While Odin and the strongest soldiers guarded, Atoh and his people shoved benches, tables and chairs to the four tunnels and set them afire. There were still quite a number of benches left, and some of these were stacked close together into one corner of the room, making a sort of rude balcony that looked down upon the littered floor. More benches and machines were left. These were made into a barricade a few yards in front of the balcony. All was done now that could be done, so Odin rushed back up the stairway to help Gunnar. But his heart sank as he stood at the foot of the stairs. Up there was nothing but swirling violet flame. Some liquid was burning furiously at the entranceway, and blazing rivulets were pouring down the steps. There was no way to go through these flames. There was now no way to go around. Gunnar, if he lived at all, must fight alone, and Odin's eyes filled with tears as he cursed himself for deserting his old comrade. The attackers were almost upon Gunnar before the last of May's rag-tad army had gone down the stairs. There were high banisters around the entranceway. These afforded plenty of protection to his back and flanks unless someone scaled them, which he doubted. One of the heavy cressets was burning nearby. It seemed to be no more than a huge open lamp. Standing upon a circular base about three feet across, the twelve-inch stem went up nearly eight feet and then flared out into a tulip-shaped bowl that was filled with flickering violet fire. Bending low, Gunnar grasped the bottom of the stem and moved it a little closer to the stairway entrance. It took all his strength, but it moved, complaining as it slid along the flagging. Now he was almost under it. The light was in his opponent's faces, and it gave a little added protection to his left side. Gunnar embraced himself, his long blade high over his shoulder, both hands locked to the long carved half. Grimhagen, he called mockingly. Here we are at the edge of the stars, just you and I left on top of this world. Just you and I of the two crews that sailed from Opel. The mad gods have made bonfires of the suns. Ragnarok has come and passed. I have no quarrel with these people, Grimhagen. Come forward now and let the two of us end what should have been ended long ago. Grimhagen silenced his men and scrambled back. Gunnar, what I say now I have said before, I promised you death, but I will let you go free, and all the frightened rats below can go free if you will give me Walden's secret. I know nothing of Walden's secret.  The old blood-drinker and I know but one secret, Grimhagen, the secret of death. Step forth like a man now and I promise you more peace than even Walden's secret could give you. Grimhagen said no more to Gunnar. He sent four companies in the direction of other entrances to the underground city. Then he marshalled his remaining men and threw them toward Gunnar in threes. Three by three they came, and three by three they went down. Braced on his strong short legs, Gunnar flailed them like wheat. Screams and curses filled the night and Gunnar piled the dead before him. One by one the companies returned to Grimhagen and reported that for the present there was no other way into the room below. Grimhagen held a short council of war. He had less than a score of the white-skinned soldiers left. These he sent at Gunnar in a body and came following after with the remaining Lawrence.  The Lawrence were throwing sticks and stones when they could. They closed in like dogs upon a wolf. Gunnar reeled back and then advanced once more as he swung his broadsword. He cleared a path and sent his attackers back until they stood about him in a circle. Their fangs ready. And then Gunnar reached forth and took the stem of the huge torch high up in his hands and bowed his back. The lamp rocked upon its pedestal and then came crashing forward. Its fuel spilled down and caught fire as it fell. Flames leaped up and lashed out at the Lawrence. The fierce flames drove the attackers farther back. But in falling the great lamp careened and half its liquid had splashed across the entrance to the tunnel. It caught fire. Gunnar gasped as it struck him.  A thrown knife caught him in the chest. Gunnar took another step and another knife caught him below the throat. He stood there, trying to go on. And a mace thudded against his temple. Gunnar reeled back into the flames. A deadening quiet fell over the huge room where Maya and Ato's little armies were making their last stand. The flames were dying out in the tunnels and on the stairway. They fed more fuel to the fires and waited. Maya was at Odin's side now. They clung together. Jack Odin kissed her and swore that they would never be parted again. Until death Maya said and raised her lips to his. He shivered. It was a promise and an assurance that might be kept too soon. The fires could not burn much longer. Grimhagen's power over the Lawrence might be questioned after that havoc that had been wreaked upon the city above. But Hagen and his white-skinned soldiers could still fight. And Grimhagen's hate was hotter than the fires that were now dying out in the tunnels. Ato joined them. He had proven himself a general. Outnumbered all the way, he had broken Grimhagen's lines time and time again during that awful night. I think we'd better wait behind the barricades and make our last stand upon the balcony, he said. We can't defend five entrances at the same time. Odin agreed. Some of Maya's people are unarmed. We still have a few of the Lawrence who joined us. They are good fighters better than the Lawrence who are with Grimhagen. Apparently he drew his following from the weakest among them. Hey! Val the Lawrence agreed. He had fought near Ato's side all through the night, and his lean left hand was rubbing two deep cuts across his chest. They have already had enough. But they have asked the wild things in the Moss Country to dine with them, and now they can't get rid of the guests. If Grimhagen and his soldiers should die, they would give up in a minute. Are your men still armed, Val? Aye. They know how to hang on to weapons. Not all of Maya's people are. I don't like the idea of the children and the old men fighting. Children and the old men have fought before. Ato answered simply. If this should be the last time, then the battle would be worth the blood. Anyway, I have set them to fashioning lances and staves from wood that we saved from the fires. They waited. All the troops and all the weapons were moved behind the barricade. Some of the best throwers were mounted upon the improvised balcony. They had rigged up a rude catapult from some lumber and ropes. They had barrels of nails and spikes for ammunition. Oden wished for some good bowmen. But the bow was as foreign to the Lawrence as it was to the bronze. There was nothing left to do except move all the workshop's water pails and sand buckets behind the barricade in case of a fire. Soon they heard the sound of war cries and the splashing of water from the tunnels. Smoke poured into the room from the quenched and dying fires. It disappeared almost as fast as it came. Evidently the Lawrence were masters of air conditioning. Oden was thankful. Knowing Grimhagen he had been fearful of gas. Now that seemed unlikely. Even his gunner had predicted this last fight would be knife and sword and spear, or if it lasted long with clubs and bare hands. They had spanned space and had mocked at time. Now time was triumphant as always. Would they end up as pre-stone-aged men throwing sticks at one another? And was this a sample of the end of all the thinking men who would follow after into space?  Oden remembered an old professor who had said that all races carry their own seeds of destruction with them wherever they go. The bees who steal the honey soon die the old man had said, but the flowers are pollinated anew and life goes on forever. But such bleak thoughts were short-lasting. For as soon as the tunnels in the stairway were cleared of smoke, Grimhagen's army came pouring into the room. Grimhagen had mustered at least two thousand men. He had divided these into five groups, and they came through the five entrances at the same time. Yelling and brandishing swords and flares they rushed the barricade. Jack Oden had underestimated the catapult, the crew released it, and a shower of spikes tore the invading ranks apart.  Ato had ordered his men to try for Grimhagen's trained soldiers first. Oden saw an old brawn cast a homemade spear with as much ease as a trained javelin-thrower back home.  Then a white-skinned warrior leapt at the barricade and Oden thrust him through. Torches began to rain down upon him. Half the defending forces were now busy with water and sand beating out the flames. Then, after what seemed to be hours, the catapult crew cranked their awkward weapon to the trigger point again and sent another rain of spikes into Grimhagen's ranks. The floor beyond the barrier was littered with dead and slippery with blood before Grimhagen's men broke the barrier. There were only two hundred to meet the charge of two thousand. The end was inevitable. As the barrier went down, Jack Oden and Maya urged their men to climb upon the balcony. Oden was the last to retreat. The soldier caught him as he scrambled upward and Oden turned and slashed him across the face. Ato was calling his men around him. They drew back to a corner where two thick walls met. Ato had placed one bench there. This he stood upon, calling out orders and cheering them on as the attackers climbed the unsteady tiers of benches and tables to reach them. The defenders gathered around. There were not over fifty of them left now. Oden thrust Maya behind him. A body fell at his feet. He bent and lifted up a twelve-year-old boy who was streaming from wounds. He handed the lad to Maya. Grimhagen led the attack. Oden braced himself. He took one step forward and waited. Seeing him, Grimhagen veered toward him, screaming a mad battle cry. His eyes wild with hate. Even in what appeared to be the last moment, Jack Oden saw that only three or four of the white-skinned soldiers were left, and not over a dozen of the bronze, who had stayed with Grimhagen during all those wasting years remained. He did not take his eyes from Grimhagen. He was conscious only of a sudden flickering, as of many lights twinkling on and off. But he did not know what was happening. Maya told him later. Ato was already bleeding badly from a deep slash in his shoulder, as he rallied his men around him, someone threw a knife that buried itself in the right side of his chest. He stumbled and went down to his knees. Then he struggled up, and as he stood straight, he reached down to his waist and clutched a little slug horn of moon-metal that his father had given him. His head went back as he raised the horn to his lips. Like child Rowland, who came at last to the dark tower, he blew one unheard blast. Suddenly the room was filled with lights flashing and dancing everywhere. Whispering, a stillness fell upon the room and the shambles. Men paused as they lifted their knives or braced themselves for a last thrust. For a single breath, all was in silence. Then a light began to whisper. Ato, it is I, your father, Walden. I have learned the secret of Tyvan's space and we have come here for you, my son. But before we go, we must rid ourselves of the mischievous makers. The light started down upon Grimhagen's men, and as they touched them the cold of space came flowing through. They fell, one by one. And the whorefrost covered them like spiderwebs across the faces and bodies of long dead mummies. There was a spattering sound, as of sleet falling against a distant roof. A strange smell filled the air. And one by one, Grimhagen's men went down. All this happened while Grimhagen was rushing toward Odin and Mea. A thin trickle of blood was flowing down the corner of Hagen's mouth. Odin heard the voices. Out of the corner of his eye he saw some men go down. The room felt cold now, and a thin breeze was going through it, as though blown gently across the star spaces. He saw a light dart down toward Grimhagen. But at that instant Grimhagen reached him as swung his sword. Jack Odin stepped aside, his foot slipped upon the unsteady planking of the improvised balcony. He thrust for Grimhagen's throat, but his blade went high and wide. It gashed Grimhagen from the lower corner of his chin clear back to the jawbone. Blood streamed, and as Odin slipped to his knee, Grimhagen swung again. Then Mea was between them. Both hands grasping Hagen's sword-arm. Hagen's free hand closed about her wrists. He swung her aside, and the point of his sword came down to rest upon her throat. Now! Grimhagen screamed, and his voice was a shriek of a man who had nothing left to lose.  Odin I caught scattered words about your work as I fled through space. I held the stars and planets in my hands and I flung them away, for they were no more than the sparks that fly out from Flint. They are worthless and I flung them away, and there was nothing to match my desire, not even Mea. Now listen, if you care for her life! The descending lights hesitated and drew back. Jack Odin righted himself and chanced a thrust at Hagen. The thrust failed as Grimhagen moved Mea between them. No more of that, Odin. Drop your sword as she dies. Drop it now! And Odin lowered his hand and let the sword fall to the table beneath him. Grimhagen continued, The ship is yours. This world is yours. Let me have your secret, Odin. I would not care to be with such as you. I would laugh at space with the comets. I would make the stars cringe. I would watch the generations go by like falling snow. I would— No, you would be like Lucifer, wreaking his vengeance upon the planets. The voice of what had been Odin interrupted in a whisper. No, Grimhagen.  Grimhagen smiled an evil smile. So. But it is I who make the bargain. Even yet Mea goes with me, remember? But at that instant Mea got one hand free and thrust the sword aside. It was all the time that Jack Odin needed. Reaching forward he grasped Grimhagen's sword with his bare hand. It cut to the bone.  He twisted, a bone cracked, and he shook the blade from Hagen's grasp. Mea leapt to one side, then Hagen's fingers were pushing Odin's face back. And Odin was clutching at Hagen's throat. They stood there swaying. Then they tumbled down the rude stairway of tables that Ato had fashioned for his last stand. They rolled to the bloodstained floor beneath, and Odin never knew how either of them survived the fall. The lights hovered above them, waiting for an opening. Mea took up a fallen sword and came following after. Grimhagen's fingers were feeling for Odin's eyes.  Then he rolled on top of him and got the man's throat between his hands. Hagen's fists worked like pistons as he beat at Odin's face.  At the last Grimhagen screamed and clawed like an animal. And then it was over. The hands stopped clawing.  Then Grimhagen was still, and Odin, with his face dripping blood, held on while Mea and the others struggled to tear his hands free from the man he had killed. With the death of Grimhagen, the fight was over. None of Hagen's bronze or Aldebarians were left. The Lawrence threw down their arms and swore loyalty to Val. A cot was improvised for Atoh. The lights hovered around him, whispering cheerfully and ignoring all others. Val, Odin, and Mea tried to count the survivors. Of the fifty who had lived through the fighting, only eighteen were bronze. The rest were Val's men. There are a hundred more on the two ships, Mea told Odin. O Jack, we have Nia to thank for most of this. Nia and Walden. After you and your men left, Nia took Krakalis, as she called them, and some of her people. They came through the barrier and made their way to the old ship. They surprised a few guards that Grimhagen had left. They freed Mea and the other prisoners. Then we got our little army together and came to help. Without Nia it could never have been done.  Oh, Jack, when we were kids together we used to laugh at her. He patted her shoulder comfortingly, for he could think of nothing to say. He had seen soldiers like Nia cast-offs from their hometowns gallantly going to their deaths. It was something that he could not understand, and being honest he had nothing to say. Cleanup was begun. Jack Odin left Val of the Lawrence to take over. Then he rushed to the stairway where last he had seen Gunnar. The fires had burned out. The steps were blackened. A few smoking corpses were still upon the stairs. Odin's face was covered with blood. His strength was nearly gone. But he went up the stairs too at a time.  There, at the top of the stairs, he found Gunnar. And Gunnar's deadly thick about him. Gunnar had moved himself to a sitting position against one of the railings. His chin was upon his great chest and his eyes were closed as though he slept. But when Odin knelt beside him he opened one eye and looked up with a twisted smile upon his broad face. One side of his face was barely recognizable. Gunnar was badly burned. He had been thrust through at least a dozen times. But Gunnar lived.  It was a long time to wait. And I thought that sometimes I would not make it. But I held on for I knew you would come. Oh, it has been a long wait. And it took all my strength. As fast as I could, Odin answered in a choking voice, as fast as I could. Oh, Chief of the Kneeblings for Ragnarok is passed. And the Tree of Life still reaches into the stars. The twilight is passed and new suns, new Earths are quickened. And Gunnar still lives. Part of him, Gunnar blinked his good eye. What happened down there? Oh! He gasped in pain. To have missed the fighting. Mayer lives and I live. Ato is wounded. Odin came at the last to help us, Gunnar. We won. And I have killed Grimhagen with my bare hands, even as I promised. Good Norse King, I knew always that one of us would kill him. Oh, it was a grand fight. But Gunnar will sharpen his sword no more. There was a ford near my father's house, with a clear water fresh over the stones. That might help me, but it is far away. My father, too, you tell Frida that we did not make the long trip in vain. If I can, Odin promised. Oh, you can. Well, we have won the stars. Nothing is beyond us, except you, maybe.  Then Gunnar awoke. He smiled at Jack and murmured. To awake on the sea of the stars. Jack Odin had heard Gunnar sing those words before. They belonged to an old Norse lullaby that Gunnar's mother had crooned to him when he was a little boy. Then Gunnar died. And Odin knelt over him, tears streaming down his broken face. CHAPTER XIX Six months had passed since the battle. The city of the violet dome was rebuilt. The ashes of the dead had been strewn upon the mossy plains. The two ships now stood in peace and gazed at each other across the expanse of moss and grass that had replaced the cinders left from the fighting. Another city was being built a few miles away. Ato had soon recovered from his wounds, and his ship's captain had married Mea and Odin. So it was over, but Odin and Mea had asked for Gunnar's ashes and had buried them out there on the plain, beneath a gauntry which was something like a Mesquite. Gunnar would have liked that. Twisted, gnarled, and tough, the tree spread out its branches above him, and a bird had built its nest there and sang its old song of stars and man and time. The Lawrence were a happier people. One of the first things that the lights had done was to plunge back into space. Within a few days they returned, trailing a huge dust cloud behind them. It must have been the last salvage from the explosion that Odin had witnessed back there in space. The cloud trailed out in one great streamer and slowly circled the ancient sun. Slowly the spirals came nearer to the fires. The sun fed, its old warmth returning. It smiled at its lone child. The air of the planet of the Lawrence grew warmer and fresher. The plains seemed to shake themselves as a new spring returned to enliven the land and take up its old work of helping life to begat new life. Out there in empty space, Odin fancied, death lowered his scythe and smiled and shrugged his lane-shoulders as he went away to harvest other suns. Oh, it was a wonderful spring. The trip was over, but what a haggard few had beached the boats at the vast edge of space. The few surviving bronze were happy now. Those who had been Grimhagen slaves out of their loyalty to Maia were offered anything that they wished. However, it turned out that most of them wanted little except peace and rest. The families of bronze that survived were now building their houses above ground, although the Lawrence had generously offered them quarters below the city. The bronze wanted no more of caves or tunnels. They preferred to live up there on this world's surface and take their chances with frost and flood. Opal had been beautiful and wonderful. It had been like living eastward in Eden, but Eden's gardens were no more. And perhaps it would be better to face the elements and meet them head on instead of seeking shelter. For time and chance were working everywhere, even in Eden, and as Gunnar had always said, a fighting heart could carry a man to the last. The days and nights were longer than on earth. The work was long and hard, but the world of the Lawrence was being rebuilt, and at night Odin usually set an hour aside to work on his notes. At times he talked with Walden, although he never could be completely at ease when talking to a light. Nor could he understand half the things that Walden told him. Walden quoted formulas on time and space, mass, and speed. Odin guessed that the belt which he had once used so briefly embodied a no-time and no-space factor. But this was beyond him. As for Ato, he grew moodier every day. At last he came to see Mea and Odin one evening, sitting by the fire. For the nights there were chilly. He talked to them of his decision. It was a great fight, he said, and I will always remember it. If Mea had lived, I might have felt differently. But Walden and the others say that they will not stay here much longer. I have decided to go with them.  Yesterday and tomorrow, near and far, are one. Mea shivered. It sounds like a frightening existence. I don't understand it at all. It is as though they had become spirits without dying. Perhaps, said Ato thoughtfully, looking into the fire. You may be right. But they say it is wonderful to be freed from the shackles of space and time. You remember the belt, Odin? Walden has merely improved upon it. Soon, I think, I will put on the belt that they brought for me and go forth with them like Leopist to invade the night. He paused a minute and then added cautiously. They have brought two more belts with them, for you two, if you should decide. Mea shivered. Odin laughed as he shook his head. No, I am a man, just flesh and blood, Ato. And I choose to stay here and take the blows of time. To endure to the end, even as my father's before on earth. Mea snuggled against his shoulder and she nodded her agreement. Ato smiled. I thought so. But we will say no more about it. There is one thing that you may not understand, Walden has tried to tell you. But he is a scientist, and his words are different and difficult to follow. You and I have fought shoulder to shoulder, perhaps I can explain. Then he talked for nearly an hour about the passing of time, and how a ship could circle the universe at the speed of light, and upon returning it might find its home poured nothing but dust and memories. For while their hearts were beating once a month out there in space, tide after tide of years had flowed over their homes and their loved ones. It was a sad bewildering speech. It reduced time to nothing, and both Mea and Odin felt a lump of ice in their throats as Ato talked. But even after he had finished, they shook their heads and clung together. A chill wind from space seemed to be blowing through the room, whispering of time's vagaries, and how space had different clocks, and how the affairs of men were swept by time and chance down to a sunless sea. For the last time Jack Odin and Mea refused Ato's offer. Eden was behind them. Immortality was lost. But Adam and Eve held close to each other there at the edge of space, and as they left Eden behind an old sad nobility clung to them, something brave and beautiful, like the last leaves of autumn glinting in the setting sun. The notes that Dr. Jack Odin sent Mea ended. But even as before he wrote a short letter, and added it to the package at the last. Dear Joe, he began. Odin and Ato have agreed to deliver this message and the attached notes. Odin says it is a terrible experience to go from the fourth dimensional light of his into a time bound world. He will not again obligate himself as a messenger boy. I promise to let you know how we fared, and here is the tale, if you can piece it together. And I suppose you can.  From this distance I would say the putting words together has been both the curse and the blessing of your entire life. I fear that I cannot understand Ato and Walden's talk, but let me put it this way. We traveled fast and furiously through space. And all the while Father Time was laughing at us. You will remember how Grimhagen aged on Aldebaran, while we sped after him in what seemed to be only a few weeks. Well, if we left in the Nebula now and plunged back to Earth we would arrive there two hundred years from the day we took off. And from what I saw of your civilization at the last I have no desire to see it two hundred years later. The wildering, isn't it? Mea always said that they would have to use new concepts and develop new mores if we are ever to conquer space. She was right. Theoretically you are gone and forgotten for two centuries, and yet Walden assures me that he can deliver this to you in short order, therefore Time does not exist as we know it. Or is it a river that can be navigated? Our home is finished. Mea and I are happy. This is a peaceful planet. Val's people are philosophers. They only fought out of desperation. My sword and gunners are growing rusty upon the wall. I have a small office now. And will probably end up as a country doctor. The two ships are still out there on the plane. Our children, if they wish, can man them and go out into space. But as far as we are concerned, we go no more hunting. The notes that I am sending you are fairly complete. It is nearly midnight and the fire is burning low. Mea is nodding beside me. So, happy at last, parsecs away and years away, I wish my old friend a hearty farewell, and it is a tale that is told. Best wishes, Jack Oden, MD. THE END


Hello everyone. I am Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you back on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. So this is like day 99 of the Salesforce learning bootcamp and I think this will be the last session because in today's session I will be discussing few LWC related interview question and answers. So in last few days we are having some mock interviews. So for development and LWC like there are lots of questions so those we cannot cover in one video. So that's why I just shared the PDF in the telegram channel already. So if you have not received those PDF for all interview question and answer so you can find that in the telegram channel and that telegram channel link is actually available in the description of this video. Okay. So today also like I will be discussing few questions with you along with the answers. It is basically related to LWC. So I will highlight some important question that is being asked in the interview and LWC is the must have skills if you are applying for a developer job. Right. So moving on to the next like first question that that we have. Okay. So first and foremost question will be like what is LWC. Okay. So some sometimes like you need to compare LWC with lightning component which is like aura components. So you can just define like LWC is lightning web component and it is based on W3C's web development standards and it supports the part of web component that works in browser and add parts supported by Salesforce as well. Okay. And a quick component development because developer has to use on the HTML CSS and JavaScript for front end development. And if they want to interact with the S objects then only they will be using Apex. So it is simpler as compared to aura because aura is basically a lightning aura components or maybe lightning components are basically built on top of aura framework. So their dependency is available but in LWC we can create lightweight components. Okay. So moving on to the next question, lightning web component files. So there are four files and while explaining each file, you need to explain the uses as well. Like why to implement dot HTML, why to implement dot JS, why to implement dot CSS and why to implement this dot JS meta dot XML file. Right. So all these files are like useful and part of lightning web components. So proper explanation will be coming in the upcoming questions. So next is like, what is LWC module? It is very much important. And in most of the JavaScript file, we have this LWC module imported. Right. So here five points are listed related to that related to that. So with the help of these five points, you can prepare your answer. Right. So in fourth point, you can see the example like we import lightning element functionality. So lightning element is a functionality. We are importing it through LWC. So this LWC, which is written in single quotes, it is basically a module. Right. So this is important question that you need to prepare. Now, if you move to the next question, so this is the use of XML file, like how we can use it and why we use it. So if you want to expose your lightning lightening web component, so that it can be used used anywhere in the org. So for that like is exposed, we need to set as true. Then in the targets, we need to set the different target like home page, record page, or it can be app page or screen flow or experience site. So different different targets we have. So whatever target you will be mentioning in this XML file, accordingly your components will be visible for that. So whatever target you are specifying, there only it will be available. Okay, so let's see what is the next question. So yeah, next question is, can Aura component contains lightning web components answer will be yes. This you should know, then can lightning web component contain Aura components or no, because lightning web component is built on like with the help of web standards. So it cannot contain Aura component because lightning web component doesn't know about Aura. So can a lightning web component call another lightning web component? So it is possible. Nesting can be done parent child. This is also important like camel case versus kebab case. Okay, so whenever we create any component, so we need to provide camel case naming convention. But when we create a component, and we want to use that component into another component. So in that case, we'll be using kebab case. So kebab case, here you can see it is written like C hyphen bigot. Right. So this is basically kebab case. Okay, so you need to use hyphen. And I think there is one more example in the next slide. So here you can see if you're creating a component named as my component. So this is the camel case. My is in small and C is capital and rest is small. And then we have C hyphen my hyphen component. So this is kebab case. Right. So this notation you need to use this is supported by lightning web component. So this is important to know as per interview. Now we have three decorators. So you should know like what all decorators we have and what is the use of those decorators? Okay, so at the rate API track and wire. So these are three decorators. So one by one, let's discuss. And there is one question from for her source is from where I can go to the first video of the boot camp. So boot camp session tracker is available in the description. I am I'm going to share the link here once again, so that you can have it. So I'm pasting it in the chat. So this is the session tracker for a you can follow it. So what is the use of API decorator? So API basically makes a field of property as public HTML markup can access the components, public property, right? And all public properties are reactive reactive means the framework observes the property for change. So when property changes value, then the framework reacts and renders the component, right? So this is the correct answer for this at the rate API decorator. And for example, what you can say like if we have any property declared as public, and we are placing our component on record page. So from that record page, if we have any, like record ID, record ID is a property if it is declared as public, so it can receive the value automatically, right? So this way you can relate an example as well. Then track it observe changes to the properties of an object or to the element of an array, and framework render the component when changes occurs. So it is basically used with objects and array only for tracking the changes. Earlier, it is used to declare any property as private. But right now, if you don't use address tracks, it will be automatically private limited to that particular component. Still, like if you want to expose any property to another component, so in one lightning web component, if you have created a property, if you want to use that property to another lightning component, if you are implementing parent child relationship. So in that case, also you need to declare that property as at the rate API, right? Because at the rate API will make it public. Now, third one is at the rate wire.  So for that, you can use at the rate wire decorator, right? Then in HTML, we can do conditional rendering as well, right? So for conditional rendering, what we can do, this is the syntax that you can follow. And next is like rendering list. So through for each, you can implement the loop. So these things you need to know, like we can apply conditional rendering, we can apply loop in HTML file, right? Then how to write expression in components. So this is also important to know, right? So above, you can see HTML and below, you can see JavaScript. Then how to call controller function in component. So this is also important to know. So we just need to use curly basis and the name of the method and method we need to define in the JavaScript. Then aura enabled. So if you want to call any Apex class, right? So aura enabled annotation will be exposing the method to the lightning components and caches the return the list on the client. So this is also important to know. And it is important question that has been asked in the interview. Then life cycle hook. So you need to know the sequence like how they call what is the meaning, right? This is the life cycle flow that you can remember, right? So it is written in keeping in the mind like we have parent child relationship between two components. So you can explain it, right? Then what are three ways to work with Salesforce data? So there are three ways lightning data service. So these are base lightning component lightning record form lightning record view form lightning record edit form. Then we have lightning data service wire adapters and functions. So predefined modules we can import. And then third one is Apex. So like these we already discussed in the session. So you can go through. Then what is lightning data service? It is explained here. So you need to prepare it. And it is also like important question. Because through lightning data service, we don't need to manage the apex. And this is a table comparison table. I think with the help of this table, you will be able to relate the differences. So we have lightning record form lightning record view form lightning record edit form. So all the comparisons are available here. This is also important. Then wire service important again. So you need to prepare it as well. Then syntax. So you need to understand the syntax like what what is the meaning of that particular parameter that we are using, right? So here in this slide, you will get to know each and everything. Right? So I think it is also important. And with this summary, you will be able to understand. Okay, then why to import references to Salesforce object and field. So prepare this as well. Important. So all these questions which are available in this slide. This PDF, all are important. And if you prepare these, so you will be like clearing your developer interview. So this is like how to get current record ID. So you can create a property named as record ID and decorate it with at the rate API decorator. How can we deploy lightning web components? So various tools are available. You can use them like chainset and gears at Copado. Then communicate with events in LWC. So we have even so like you can dispatch events, right? So that you can pass some data from one component to another. Then lightning master services there. So you can prepare it. So lightning, like events and lightning master service, these are also important and pops up model, right? So these three things you need to remember and interview. Then where we can use lightning web components. So this is the list that you can prepare. Right? So these were some important question that I already shared with you. So if you go through my telegram channel, so in the telegram channel, these are already available. So once again, I'm going to share telegram channel link where you can find these. So I'm pasting the telegram channel link in the chat. So if you click, you can subscribe that channel and there you will find all the PDF. It is like I shared four PDF, one related to admin, one related to flows, one related to developer questions, and one related to LWC, which right now I'm sharing. Okay, so I think with this with these 99 sessions, you will be able to prepare yourself for interview, right? So first learn everything in detail and then go with the interview questions. So everything is with you, right? So I think with these sessions, you will be able to prepare yourself for interview. So do let me know if you need something else like a parallel along with this Salesforce only studio bootcamp is already going on. So like through that, you can learn about only studio. And other than that, I'm planning to have a few more bootcamps, those will be specific to Salesforce. So that I will be starting from next month. Right? So I think if you are a self learner, so all these sessions will be helping you because we have covered everything in detail. And all the exercises are with you, right? So I shared all the knowledge with you. And I am happy like with this knowledge, you will be able to prepare yourself for jobs. So this bootcamp will be helping freshers intermediate, even like those who are working on advanced for like for them, omni studio will be helpful. And if it if then doesn't know about flows, recent updates, so that will be helpful integration related videos, QA related videos, right? So all those sessions will be helpful for them. Okay, so so this is all from my side. And I will be having one more session on maybe Saturday or Sunday, where I will be announcing a giveaway, right? So do join and we'll be sharing some gratitude. Okay, so I'm just just ending this session here only, because I already shared the content with you. Okay, so thank you for joining all the sessions. And like keep waiting for day 100, because there will be some announcement for few folks, those who can get benefit from that. So it will be helpful for them. Thank you, everyone.


A domestic violence call resulted in a Grand Rapids Area man allegedly threatening to kill a police officer last week in Baxter. According to the criminal complaint filed in Crow and County Court, Baxter police officers were called to a hotel just before midnight on Saturday, November 24th, in response to a report of a domestic assault. When deputies arrived, they arrested Paul Darrell Segal, who began kicking and swinging his elbow, striking two officers.  Segal is charged with making terroristic threats, domestic assault, endangerment of a child, fourth-degree assault of a police officer, possessing a small amount of marijuana and more.
