Zan-Gah And The Beautiful Country - Plot & Excerpts
The roiling volcano, which was only an interesting sight to him, became the center of Dael’s world, his all in all, and his holy of holies. It was impossible to get Dael away from the mesmerizing sight. He clung to the point of observation he had chosen for himself as if it were a temple and the whole explanation of his existence lay in the immense blazing peak and its shattering explosions. He would sit transfixed before the altar of the fire-mountain as though all he looked for in the world were there on the burning summit. His lips would move in a murmuring prayer barely audible to his companions, but deeply felt: “Great and terrible fire, you are my parent and my god! You spit in the face of the sky, and so do I! You are defiant and so am I! Your power is my power! I give myself to you and worship you!” Zan caught enough of his brother’s passionate words to be filled with dread for him. It was soon afterwards that Dael fainted the second time, and in the morning he awoke in an unnaturally calm state as before.
