As the spaceship vanished as swiftly and as suddenly as it had appeared, Sardar slowly straightened up from behind the haunches of his horses and stood tall in his chariot again. He looked to Nazik and Kamar who were still hunched down in their chariots on either side of him, and then shook his head in an effort to clear it of these baffling and fearsome images. He looked across the plain again to find the slim figure in the blue sari who had been left behind. The woman was picking a frantic path through the hacked stumps of the thousands of trees they had felled to bridge the Mahanadi, and as he watched, she reached the edge of the jungle on the far side and she too disappeared from view.

Sardar scratched slowly at the deep cleft where the jagged facial scar ended at his chin. “What does this all mean?” he asked at last.

Kamar stood and took off his helmet to rub at his unbelieving eyes. “I have heard that before we came here, golden gods came and took away a prince of Karakhor and that blue gods took away one of their women. Until now I believed that it was all nonsense.”

“The man who returned to the flying temple had a blue face,” Nazik offered. “And the woman called out to the walls that her name was Maryam. Maryam is the daughter of Kara-Rashna who is said to have been taken into the sky by the blue gods.”

“A daughter of Kara-Rashna?” Sardar blinked his pig eyes as he considered the information. “She could be useful, and her gods have abandoned her. Send men into the forest and find her.”

Nazik nodded and wheeled his chariot to relay the necessary orders.

Sardar raised his sword aloft again and grinned at Kamar. “Another charge,” he suggested. “We still have a few hours before sunset.”
