Dis was a harsh, inhospitable,
dangerous place and the Magter made it worse.
They might have been human
once—but they were something else now.
The Magter had only one desire—Kill!
Kill everything, themselves, their planet,
the universe if they could—
Brion Brandd was sent in at the
eleventh hour. His mission was to save Dis, but
it looked as though he was going to
preside over its annihilation.
A man said to the universe:
"Sir, I exist!"
"However" replied the universe,
"The fact has not created in me
A sense of obligation."
STEPHEN CRANE
Brion entered the temple and stood as if rooted to the ground. There was a horror in this place—it clung to everything. Muffled and hooded men stood silent and unmoving about the room, their attention rigidly focused on a figure in the center. Brion wondered how he knew they were men—only their eyes showed, eyes completely empty of expression yet somehow reminding him of a bird of prey.
