== The Bird of Doom and The End ==
For at the last shall the thunder, fleeing to escape from
the doom of the gods, roar horribly among the Worlds; and
Time, the hound of the gods, shall bay hungrily at his
masters because he is lean with age. 
And from the innermost of Pegana's vales shall the bird
of doom, Mosahn, whose voice is like the trumpet, soar
upward with boisterous beatings of his wings above Pegana's
mountains and the gods, and there with his trumpet voice
acclaim THE END. 
Then in the tumult and amid the fury of Their hound the
gods shall make for the last time in Pegana the sign of all
the gods, and go with dignity and quiet down to Their
galleons of gold, and sail away down the River of Silence,
not ever to return. 
Then shall the River overflow its banks, and a tide come
setting in from the Silent Sea, till all the Worlds and the
Skies are drowned in Silence; while MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI in the
Middle of All sits deep in thought. And the hound Time,
when all the Worlds and cities are swept away whereon he
used to raven, having no more to devour shall suddenly die. 
But there are some that hold -- and this is the heresy of
the Saigoths -- that when the gods go down at the last into
their galleons of gold Mung shall turn alone, and, setting
his back against Trehagobol and wielding the Sword of
Severing which is called Death, shall fight out his last
fight with the hound Time, his empty scabbard Sleep
clattering loose beside him. 
There under Trehagobol they shall fight alone when all
the gods are gone. 
And the Saigoths say that for two days and nights the
hound shall leer and snarl before the face of Mung -- days
and nights that shall be lit by neither sun nor moons, for
these shall go dipping down the sky with all the Worlds as
the galleons glide away, because the gods that made them are
gods no more. 
And then shall the hound, springing, tear out the throat
of Mung, who, making for the last time the sign of Mung,
shall bring down Death crashing through the shoulders of the
hound, and in the blood of Time that Sword shall rust away. 
Then shall MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI be all alone, with neither
Death nor Time, and never the hours singing in his ears, nor
the swish of the passing lives. 
But far away from Pegana shall go the galleons of gold
that bear the gods away, upon whose faces shall be utter
calm, because They are the gods knowing that it is THE END.
