Here were stacked Q-ray tubes, light-guns, and blasters, piled high in bins by millions upon millions.
"Come! There is still more!"
They climbed another ramp.
At the top, before a heavy door, a huge coleopteron waited.
The woman who was the living goddess Xaymar paused, head tilted. It was as if she were listening to some silent message. Then she turned, half towards Haral, and her lips curved in a strange smile that was somehow infinitely evil. She spoke no word, but even the blue man could feel the hammering, affirmative impact of her thought-waves: "Yes ... yes ... yes...."
The great scarlet beetle moved swiftly off down another corridor.
Xaymar moved close to the door. Like magic, it opened before her.
She said: "Beyond this door, no being but me has ever gone, blue warrior! But now you, too, shall enter!"
Haral followed her across the threshold.
