The
Third Book of Hamalzah
Chapter 2: Roh's Return |
|
| And Hamalzah gave unto Roh a mighty steed. And the steed was after the countenance of a Lion yet had a tail of fire, and a mane of gold, and teeth of steel. And the Lion was named Orus. Mighty was Orus, and much favoured by Hamalzah. And Hamalzah gave also unto Roh of armour, and of a Holy Shield which was to protect Him, and of a shishlik that was so sharp it cut the very air. And he also gave unto him a mighty bow that loosed staves of His Cleansing Light. And Roh came back unto the peoples, riding his mighty steed. And the peoples looked to Roh, and the peoples looked to Horridahl and his many demons. And they cried "You are but one man and one Lion, how shall you overcome the Hordes of Horridahl, and overcome the demon chariots which scorch our skies?" And Roh said unto them "Hamalzah gives strength to my sword arm, and Hamalzah gives me His Shield, and Hamalzah gave unto me Orus the Mighty." And the people were not certain that this would be enough. And their faith began to wane. And Horridahl spoke unto their minds, and sowed seeds of doubt amongst them. And they said unto Roh "but how do we know that Hamalzah is with you, and that He has not abandoned us to Tahabir dar Jahani?" And Roh prayed to Hamalzah, and conversed with Him, and commanded the peoples to find the biggest stone. And the peoples raised a great slab of hard stone, and Roh saw it and was much pleased. |
