I gleaned the wood and Jrrnh, and heaped the tinder till the hody war forrne . It laehed only breath. It needed the rparh to fire. I rozild not provide the effenre, l e.

I placed t 1 fiery rock into my tiny pyre and nursed it with my breath until it blazed. N The fire war warrn. I felt warnzer, knowing that he knew. The chain was longer now. It rearhed till rne. I way not alone. My legr were Jtrong now. I flood up forthe frft tirne. My eyer traveled the ehain eartward. I journeyed to the origin. My thoiightr rerted on the jirft mountain. The first mountain was unimpressive physically. It was not as tall nor as jagged as the others, but its tire was the fiercest. Its light pierced the clouds that hung thickly about the mountain in rays that reached even the heavens. Something troubled me. I turned from the east and gazed westward to the unlit mountains.

Would they carry the message further with their signal tires? I elzitehed a hnrnin g log from nzy jire. With all rn y rtrength I flzin g it into the night. I gazed westward, into the land of darhnerf. I watrhed at an orange rtar fell on the next rnonntain.
