Seeking refuge from the sudden storm, Perscors darted into one of the cypress groves, where he dodged the crashing and smoldering trees. Running farther east, he took shelter just beyond the grove, within massive stone ruins in a circular clearing, on high ground. Because of the night and the torrent, he could make out only the roughest shape of the ruined structure, and then only by the intermittent lightning.
When the storm ended as abruptly as it had begun, Perscors felt himself to be upon the threshold of some great change. A moonlit night had succeeded the storm, and by what he knew to be the light of Achamoth he investigated the ruined shrine of his refuge.
