ked up。 Down from that high place they fell; breaking up as they came; skulls and scraps of bone and flaps of fretted flesh; a rain of dead things that might drown him in mummied remains。
〃You can't hurt me!〃 Gerenko gibbered; covering his wrinkled head as the first ghastly fragments thudded down onto the ledge。 〃Not even dead men。。。 can。。。 hurt me?〃
But it wasn't their intention to hurt him; they didn't even know he was there; they'd simply obeyed Faethor and hurled themselves down。 And after that it was out of their hands; those of them who had hands。 The clattering cascade continued; echoing loudly; and over and above the pelting of gristly bones; now there swelled a new sound: a terrible grumbling and groaning; but in no way the groaning of the dead。 They were the groans of riven rock; of sliding shale and scree and accumulated debris。 Avalanche!
And even as that fact dawned on Gerenko; so the face of the cliff fell on him and he was swept away 。
Long after the dust had settled and the last rumbling echo faded away; Harry Keogh stood with Zek and watched the rim of the moon e up over the mountains。 〃It will light your way;〃 he told her。 〃Take care; Zek。〃
She was still in his arms; had needed to be there else she might have fallen。 Now she struggled free; wordlessly left him and headed for the scree…buried ledge。 At first she stumbled; then straightened up and went with more certainty; more resolve。 She would pick her way over the fallen cliff to the bottom of the gorge; then follow the stream down to the new road。
〃Take care;〃 Harry called after her again。 〃And Zek; don't ever e up against me or mine again。〃
She made no answer; looked straight ahead。 But to herself: Oh; no; I'll not do that。 Not against you; Harry Keogh…Necroscope!
