| The
Third Book of Hamalzah
Chapter 5: The Martyrdom of Roh |
|
| And again and again Roh and Horridahl came at each other. And Horridahl was the brother of Hamalzah, and was more powerful. And Horridahl began to undo Roh. Roh's holy shield shattered asunder, and Horridahl's flame began to touch Roh's armour that had been given to Him by Hamalzah. And Orus was made lame with the torments of the eagle, and his leg was cut sore by the talons. And Roh prayed to Hamalzah, and Hamalzah gave unto Him strength. And he gathered his rage and his fear, and made them into a mighty weapon. With great force he came unto Horridahl, to undo him and his flame-eagle. And Horridahl mocked Him, and said "Surrender to me now, Roh, or I shalt rend you limb from limb. You have no weapon." And Roh said unto Horridahl, "What weapon do I require? For behold, I am the Lion... I am the weapon." And with great sacrifice, Roh charged at Horridahl, and became as hot as the sun, and made much rolling of thunder. And Roh gave his life unto the Quantar, and Horridahl was much weakened by his charge. And the demons and the abominations saw Horridahl turn his head, and take flight. The Quantar rejoiced to see Horridahl flee, and with him his demons and unliving chariots. And they sent fire after them, and they went into the darkness. |
