Saphrar took a step deeper into the pool and the pool permitted this, and he now stood with the fluids level with his chest. |
10 |
| 26 | 356 |
Saphrar screamed in agony and moving beneath the yellow glistening surface of the pool I saw several of the filamentous fibers encircle his legs and begin to draw him deeper into the pool and beneath the surface. |
10 |
| 26 | 371 |
The torch was brought, and the pool seemed to discharge its vapor more rapidly, and the fluids began to churn, and draw away from our edge of the pool. |

"How is it," I asked, "that you managed to escape?" "At night, when cleaning the pools, we would be unchained, in order to protect the chain from dampness and rust—we were then only roped together by the neck—I had not been put on the rope until the age of fourteen, at which time I sup... |

But know, Tarl Cabot, that I am a merchant and understand men and the meaning of gold—I no more object to Ha-Keel dealing with Tuchuks than I would to the fact that water freezes and fire burns—and that no one ever leaves the Yellow Pool of Turia alive". |
10 |

10 |

10 |
| 17 | 11 |
Some of the vines hung so low that they nearly touched the surface of the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 14 |
I had been in the room for perhaps three or four minutes before I realized that the steam rose from the pool itself. |
10 |
| 17 | 17 |
I wondered what I was expected to meet in the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 19 |
I noted that the surface of the pool, shortly after we had entered, began to tremble slightly, and it was then once again calm. |
10 |
| 17 | 21 |
Yet the motion had been odd for it was almost as if the pool had lifted itself, rippled, and then subsided. |
10 |
| 17 | 23 |
"What is the nature of the beast in the pool?" I asked. |
10 |
| 17 | 34 |

"Am I to be thrown bound into the pool?" I asked. |
10 |
| 17 | 50 |
I studied the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 53 |
I then became aware that the steam that rose from the pool did so periodically, rather than continuously. |
10 |
| 17 | 54 |
There seemed to be a rhythm in the rising of the steam from the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 55 |
I noted, too, that the surface of the pool licking at the marble basin in which it lay trapped seemed to rise slightly and then fall with the discharge of the steam. |
10 |
| 17 | 62 |
I certainly had nothing in mind so ridiculous as to hurl at enemies the one weapon which might mean life or death to me in my struggle in the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |

I turned about, as well as I could, and examined the pool again. |
10 |
| 17 | 68 |
"Let me be sent first to the pool," said Harold. |
10 |
| 17 | 71 |
Though it might have been my imagination it seemed that the pool's yellow had now become enriched and that the shifting fluid hues that confronted me had achieved new ranges of brilliance. |
10 |
| 17 | 77 |
"If I succeed in slaying or escaping the monster in the pool," I said, casually, "I take it that I am then, of course, free". |
10 |
| 17 | 84 |
I now looked across the surface of the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 88 |
The pool was now, it seemed, literally coruscating, glistening with a brilliance of hues that was phenomenal, almost like hands lifting and spilling gems in sunlit water. |
10 |
| 17 | 91 |
It was almost as though the pool itself respired. |
10 |
| 17 | 92 |
"Enter the pool," commanded Saphrar. |
10 |
| 17 | 94 |
To my surprise the pool, at least near the edge, was not deep. |
10 |
| 17 | 96 |
I took a few more steps out into the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 98 |
About a third of the way toward the center I was entered into the pool to my waist. |
10 |
| 17 | 101 |
I noted that the steam, and gas or fumes, no longer rose from the pool. |
10 |
| 17 | 107 |
The yellow of the pool's fluid, though rich, no longer seemed to leap and startle me with its vibrance. |
10 |
| 17 | 110 |
Then, angrily, thinking perhaps the pool was empty, or I had been made fool of, I cried out to Saphrar. |
10 |
| 17 | 116 |
"The pool!" he shouted. |
10 |
| 17 | 117 |
"The pool?" I asked. |
10 |
| 18 | 33 |
My feet and legs felt cold and yet as if they were burning—presumably the acids of the pool were at work. |
10 |
| 18 | 34 |
As nearly as I could determine the pool was thick, rubbery, gelatinous, only in the area near to my body. |
10 |
| 18 | 37 |
But doubtless by then I would have been half digested, much of me little more than a cream of fluids and proteins then mixing with and nourishing the substance of my devourer—the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 18 | 38 |
I pushed now, with all my might, not toward the edge of the marbled basin, but rather toward the deepest part of the pool. |
10 |
| 18 | 40 |
The pool was content that I should enter it more deeply, perhaps it even desired that I do so, that its meal might be even more readily obtained. |
10 |
| 18 | 43 |
Each inch I moved toward the center of the pool my journey became easier. |
10 |
| 18 | 50 |
I reached out and slashed at it with the quiva, cutting it, and it withdrew suddenly, rolling in the fluid, and the pool itself seemed suddenly to churn with steam and light. |
10 |
| 18 | 52 |
Yet somehow I knew now the pool, like all forms of life, had some level of irritability. |
10 |
| 18 | 54 |
I splashed across the center of the pool, literally swimming. |
10 |
| 18 | 55 |
As soon as I had crossed the center I felt the fluids of the pool once again begin to gel and tighten. |
10 |
| 18 | 56 |
By the time I had reached the level of my waist on the opposite side I could, once again, no longer move toward the edge of the pool. |
10 |
| 18 | 59 |
Then I was swimming freely in the yellow fluid at the center of the pool. |
10 |
| 18 | 61 |
Quiva in my teeth I dove toward the deepest part of the Yellow Pool of Turia, where glowed the quickness and substance of the living thing in which I swam. |
10 |
| 18 | 62 |
Almost instantly as I submerged the fluid beneath me began to jell, walling me away from the glowing mass at the bottom of the pool but, hand over hand, pulling at it and thrusting my way, I forced my way deeper and deeper into it. |
10 |
| 18 | 70 |
I now stood on the hardened surface of the Yellow Pool of Turia and saw the fluids of the sides seeping into the mass beneath me and hardening almost instantly. |
10 |
| 18 | 78 |
Then suddenly I heard his agonized cry and saw that beneath me, once again, there glistened the yellow fluids of the pool, moving about him, for the thing—perhaps thermotropic—had again, as rapidly as it had hardened, liquefied and swirled about him, the luminescent spheres and filamen... |
10 |
| 18 | 82 |
I ran over the iron framework until, judging by the distance and curve of the dome, I had reached a point above where Harold and I had waited at the edge of the pool. |
10 |
| 18 | 87 |
Harold, wrists still bound behind his back, hurled himself against two men and, screaming, they pitched backward into the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 18 | 97 |
He fell back from my blade, turned once and fell into the glistening, living liquid of the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 18 | 104 |
Together we ran about the perimeter of the pool until we came to a tangle of vines depending from the ceiling, up which we climbed, broke through the blue substance, and cast wildly about for an avenue of escape. |
10 |
| 19 | 61 |
I then followed Harold along one of the smooth, stone paths leading among the trees, brushing our way through the clusters of blossoms, skirting the edge of the nearer blue pool. |
10 |
| 24 | 95 |
I remembered that night—the long swim against the underground current, the well, our capture, the Yellow Pool of Turia, the Pleasure Gardens, the tarns—and escape. |
10 |
| 26 | 157 |
On the floor below the dais were Saphrar of Turia, frantic, clutching the purple-wrapped object, and the Paravaci, he who still wore the hood of the Clan of Torturers, he who would have been my assassin, he who had been with Saphrar of Turia when I had entered the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 26 | 340 |
We came together to the brink of the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 26 | 341 |
At its marbled edge, hissing and quivering with rage, throwing their heads now and again upward and howling in frustrated fury were the two tawny hunting sleen, their maddened round eyes blazing on the pathetic figure of Saphrar of Turia, blubbering and whimpering, sobbing, reaching out, his fingers... |
10 |
| 26 | 342 |
He struggled to move in the glistening, respiring, sparkling substance of the Yellow Pool, but could not change his place. |
10 |
| 26 | 347 |
Beneath the surface we could see places where his robes had been eaten away and the skin was turning white beneath the surface, the juices of the pool etching their way into his body, taking its protein and nutriment into its own, digesting it. |
10 |
| 26 | 366 |
We stood silently there for a time, until Kamchak saw small, white bones, like bleached driftwood, rocking on the sparkling, now watery surface, being moved bit by bit, almost as if by tides, to the edge of the pool, where I gathered attendants would normally collect and discard them. |
10 |
| 26 | 368 |
He looked down into the sparkling, glistening living fluid of the Yellow Pool of Turia. |
10 |
| 26 | 372 |
The yellows of the pool began to flicker and the filamentous fibers began to writhe, and the spheres of different colors beneath the surface began to turn and oscillate, and dart in one direction and then the other. |
10 |
| 26 | 373 |
Kamchak took the torch and with his right hand, in a long arc, flung it to the center of the pool. |
10 |
| 26 | 374 |
Suddenly like an explosion and conflagration the pool erupted into flames and Kamchak and I and Harold and the others shielded our faces and eyes and withdrew before the fury of the fire. |
10 |
| 26 | 375 |
The pool began to roar and hiss and bubble and scatter parts of itself, flaming, into the air and again to the walls. |
10 |
| 26 | 377 |
The pool then attempted to dessicate itself and retreat into its hardened shell-like condition but the fire within the closing shell burst it apart and open and then it was again like a lake of burning oil, with portions of the shell tossed like flaming chips upon it. |
10 |
| 26 | 378 |
For better than an hour it burned and then the basin of the pool, now black, in places the marble fused and melted, was empty, save for smears of carbon and grease, and some cracked, blackened bones, and some drops of melted gold, what had been left perhaps of the golden drops which Saphrar of Turia... |

Then it left the water, rushing upward from it, erupting from it, and I saw its full body, shedding water, its neck extended, its jaws open, its forepaws down against its body, streamlining its shape, its hind legs extended, it leaping upward, then yards above the surface of the torn, dark pool, and... |

It must have opened some access between the pool and the walkway, for I heard a scratching and sniffing and then saw, to my horror, on the other side of the bars of the passage gate, reflected in the torchlight, the blazing eyes of one of the large rodentlike creatures. |

I think that the very first day on which I had seen the free woman, several days ago, over the pool, had been the same day on which a transformation had begun to be wrought in her. |

Specifically, I think it was useful to have had to explicitly, frequently, and humbly address the depth warden as "Sir," which practice apparently, in its present authentic form, began on that day, to know that she was not permitted to attempt to interfere with the latching of the cage, and might th... |

Too, as she now used the word "Sir" there could be no hint within it, as there might have been, as I understand it, before the day of her instruction at the pool, of irony or insult. |
10 |

Might she not then have been terrified? What free woman would dare to appear, as it is said, "slave desirable"? Some days ago she had been removed from the slave cage over the pool and given a cell not far from our quarters. |

"I am sorry that I had you whipped!" That had occurred in my first day in the depths, when she was still the occupant of a dangling slave cage, suspended over a pool to which large aquatic rodents, one variety of urt, had access. |

She had been taken from the top of the tower before I had been entered into the concealed shoot which had sped me far below the city, to the net suspended over the pool, that to which the giant urts had access. |
10 |

"To the urt pool," said the pit master, reluctantly. |

The woman was screaming, from within, over the urt pool. |

This new arrangement, that of five groups, made possible a more diversified deployment of the men, presumably an advantage on the walkway about the urt pool. |

"As they did not pass us," said the pit master, "and they are not here, one gathers they have returned to the nest, or the pool. |

I could see the railing about the pool. |
10 |

There were four gates giving access to the walkway, that through which we had entered, and, across the pool, on the other side, three, each leading to a different tunnel. |
10 |

An urt, on the walkway, at their approach, had scrambled over the railing, and dived into the pool. |
10 |

Fecha held her torch over the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 586 |
This was not the urt which had just entered the pool. |
10 |

I could see the cage, high, to my left, over the pool, with its various chains and ropes, for controlling its location. |
10 |

The first man and the lieutenant had come to the first gate, reached by going to the right about the pool. |
10 |

I heard urts in the pool below. |
10 |

Too, once they had come to the tunnel opening, which was beneath the surface of the pool, reached from the nest, on a higher level, on the other side, they may have seen the light from the lamps and torches on the water. |
10 |
| 37 | 618 |
There were several urts in the pool area, I knew, and, save for their fellow, and what they had had of the man by the gate, they had not eaten for two days. |
10 |

The first man, with the two slaves, who had gone to the left, was now well ahead of us, and had reached the first of the three opposite gates which was accessible from our side of the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 644 |
He had not even entered the pool area. |
10 |
| 37 | 648 |
We had heard nothing from her, however, since our entry into the pool area. |
10 |
| 37 | 657 |
We hurried then about the pool, he following. |
10 |
| 37 | 672 |
The other fellow, he with the lieutenant, looked across the pool, to the portal across the way. |
10 |
| 37 | 678 |
There was a sudden, half-strangled cry from across the pool as Herminius, clutching at his throat, legs kicking, seemed, somehow, to fly upward, into the darkness. |
10 |
| 37 | 684 |
The two slaves who had been with him had fled to the right, as one would enter the pool area. |
10 |
| 37 | 686 |
We could see the men hurrying about the pool area, toward the portal. |
10 |
| 37 | 708 |
Suddenly in back of us, and above us, over the pool, we heard a bolt, that of the cage latch, jerked loose. |
10 |
| 37 | 709 |
The cord which went to the latch on the bottom of the cage over the pool went, with the other apparatus, chains and ropes, connected with the control of the cage, from the cage to the wall, over pulleys, and then down to the level of the walkway, where it, like the other devices, was secured. |
10 |
| 37 | 714 |
We spun about and saw the Lady Ilene, her small ankles tied together, her hands tied behind her back, a rope under her arms, swinging over the dark waters of the urt pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 723 |
Urts began to knife instantly toward the vicinity of the pool over which the Lady Ilene was suspended. |
10 |
| 37 | 731 |
It had hurled Herminius from the wall as easily as the pit master might have thrown a joint of meat into the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 743 |
"Find him! Find him! Fire! Fire!" But suddenly, from a place high on the wall, now feet from where the body of Herminius had been thrown, on one of the ropes which were intended to control the movements of the cage, a dark figure swung over the urt pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 748 |
The figure had alighted on the opposite side of the walkway, before the middle gate of the three gates on that side of the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 759 |
The water of the pool was scarlet. |
10 |
| 37 | 760 |
The Lady Ilene, out of the cage, tied to it by a rope fastened under her arms, bound hand and foot, gagged, dangled over the urt pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 779 |
Rather, to my horror, he took a quarrel between his teeth and, bow in hand, leapt over the railing, into the urt pool itself. |
10 |
| 37 | 781 |
Almost at the same moment Tensius had come to the place on the walkway from which the peasant had dived into the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 792 |
"Illuminate the pool!" cried the lieutenant. |
10 |
| 37 | 794 |
The light reflected up from the surface of the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 808 |
"He must have drowned," called Tensius, from across the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 810 |
It was, of course, dark in the pool, and the light was uncertain. |
10 |
| 37 | 812 |
"Is there an exit from the pool!" demanded the lieutenant of the pit master, standing behind him, his torch lifted. |
10 |
| 37 | 823 |
"Tensius, Abnik, into the water!" cried the lieutenant, gesticulating to the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 824 |
They looked across the pool as though their officer might be mad. |
10 |
| 37 | 852 |
He then put his knife between his teeth and, with great care, lowered himself over the railing, and dropped down into the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 857 |
Tensius and Abnik swam to the edge of the pool, to our right. |
10 |
| 37 | 875 |
"Space the light about the pool," said the lieutenant, with a gesture of his arm. |
10 |
| 37 | 876 |
The slaves spaced themselves then more about the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 877 |
I remained with Fecha a little to the left of the entrance, as one would enter the area of the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 881 |
Gito was not in the pool area, but back in the passage. |
10 |
| 37 | 887 |
He continued to survey the flickering surface of the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 890 |
It had been moved by the weight of the bound, gagged free woman, dangling on the rope over the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 919 |
"Masters," cried Gito, from back in the passage, "let us go to the surface!" "Go!" said the lieutenant, not taking his eyes from the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 957 |
But if he had been killed in the nest, why had the urts not fed on him there? When I looked away from the water I saw that the lieutenant's attention was returned, intently, to the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 960 |
Had the prisoner died in the pool it seemed his body would have surfaced before that of Tensius. |
10 |
| 37 | 965 |
One could not climb from the pool to the walkway without a rope, or some such device, the tunnels to the walkway having been earlier sealed. |
10 |
| 37 | 1001 |
Suddenly from the part of the pool near the entrance to the nest we saw a hand reach up, breaking the surface, and then an arm. |
10 |
| 37 | 1015 |
One of the girls on the other side of the pool, tied by her neck to her cord-mate, screamed, horrified. |
10 |
| 37 | 1017 |
I suddenly realized his attention was not on the pathetic figure in the pool but on the waters behind it and about it. |
10 |
| 37 | 1039 |
"Kill it! Kill it! Save your man!" "Do not be foolish," said the lieutenant, without taking his attention from the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 1065 |
It moved slowly away, across the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 1069 |
"Is there a way from the urt nest, other than to the pool and walkway?" asked the officer of Treve. |
10 |
| 37 | 1072 |
"Water must be brought to the pool," said the officer of Treve. |
10 |
| 37 | 1106 |
"Do you think it an inadvertence on the prisoner's part that the one man's body, that of he called Tensius, was returned as it was to the pool?" "Certainly not," said the officer of Treve. |
10 |
| 37 | 1166 |
He looked about himself, and toward the darkness of the pool area. |
10 |
| 37 | 1178 |
Before we left the pool area the pit master, by means of the ropes and chains controlling the cage, brought the helpless Lady Ilene, she dangling on the rope, to the wall, where he lifted her up and put her on her knees, on the walkway. |
10 |
| 37 | 1185 |
The Lady Ilene was then reinserted into the cage, and the cage restored to its place over the pool. |
10 |
| 37 | 1192 |
We then left the pool area. |
10 |
| 38 | 9 |
"He is your friend?" the pit master had asked Gito, in one of the passages, shortly after we had returned from the pool area. |
10 |
| 39 | 73 |
Too, I would suppose certain guards could do so, and, of course, the other pit slaves had seen him, at least twice, once in the cell, once in the vicinity of the urt pool. |
