The Island of Xygax the Wizard, Land of One Thousand Towers
Day Ten. Night? April 5th, 912 CY
In the secret world beyond this one, the astonished explorers struggle to comprehend what their disbelieving eyes behold!
Against Maskelyn's dire warnings, Connak and Mungo try to understand the enigmatic sorcery-engines of the hidden realm behind the wall, to no avail! Ambrose concurs with Maskelyn, asking, "Is this wise?"
Neither Fiefo, Finver nor Ko-nan can bend the bars of the torture chamber! Draupadi studies a strange magical artifact in the wall nearby, tests its glowing diadems and suddenly, the bars rise up into the ceiling of their own volition! But the tormented Atrusian is still manacled to the wall. Delirious, he struggles to answer Draupadi's questions about time.
Fiefo asks, "How do we stop them, old... ah... man?"
The Altrusian elder raves, "By stopping their insidious spell at its source! We could have been their pets! We could have been their food! Instead we are their unknowing slaves!"
Searching the strange chamber, Yul finds many inexplicable, unidentifiable objects. Then he opens an iron-handled drawer filled with bizarre spectacle-lenses.
"There!" shouts the shackled Altrusian monk, his voice rising in desperate urgency, "There! They don't yet suspect what they have seized from us! Don those! Don them now and thou shalt see!"
