Chapter XXVII — The coming Race
Chapter XXVII brings a shift in atmosphere, as a simple desire for reflection turns into something more ominous. I had intended only a quiet walk with Taee, a soul whose youth made him easier to speak with than the dignified elders of his kind. Yet even in that, the lines between our worlds refused to blur. My suggestion to revisit the spot of my first descent was made with a calm curiosity. Taee, uncharacteristically serious, agreed without hesitation. His solemn nod told me something unknown was…-

Chapter XXVII — Crome yellow
Chapter XXVII begins with an absurd yet magnetic performance as Mr. Scogan takes on his theatrical alter ego, “Sesostris, the Sorceress of Ecbatana.” Draped in flamboyant robes and heavy with mock mysticism, he draws a crowd eager for entertainment, not enlightenment. One by one, the guests offer their palms and receive cryptic fates—some grave, others comically vague. The sorceress performs with dramatic gravity, her voice thick with prophetic flair, turning every word into a spectacle. Denis,…-

Chapter XXVI — The coming Race
Chapter XXVI opens with a shift in tone as the narrator, once filled with awe, now feels an unsettling gloom that shadows every thought. His recent interaction with Zee has left him deeply reflective, not about romance, but about survival. Though the Vril-ya live in a realm of remarkable beauty and tranquility, their power hangs above him like a quiet threat. They do not intend cruelty, yet their abilities make resistance irrelevant. He realizes that kindness does not guarantee safety when authority comes…-

Chapter XXVI — Crome yellow
Chapter XXVI begins with a burst of life as the fair, sprawling just beyond the estate gardens, captures every inch of the village’s attention. Bright banners flutter, booths brim with sweets and games, and the whirling carousel gleams under the late sun. Steam and music churn from the organ, filling the air with dissonant joy. The townspeople, decked in cheerful outfits, drift from one attraction to another, their faces lit with simple delight. From the tower, Denis watches this colorful mosaic unfold,…-

Chapter XXV — Crome yellow
Chapter XXV begins with Henry Wimbush announcing the return of a longstanding tradition—the Crome charity fair, to be held on Bank Holiday. He describes its steady evolution over the past two decades with a mix of civic pride and personal reluctance. Though he finds little joy in the bustle of the event, he maintains it for the benefit of the local hospital, whose financial gains have become an annual expectation.

Chapter XXIX — The coming Race
Chapter XXIX begins at a moment of quiet dread, when the narrator is stirred from sleep by the luminous presence of Zee. What follows is not just an escape from death but an exit from a world that has reshaped his understanding of progress, ethics, and love. As Zee's voice breaks the silence, the tension builds—not through noise or violence, but through the eerie calm of a society so advanced, its authority does not waver, even in enacting a quiet execution. The decision to eliminate the narrator was…-

Chapter XXIX — Crome yellow

Chapter XXIV — The Sands
Chapter XXIV opens with Agnes waking early, stirred by a quiet desire to visit the shoreline before her daily duties begin. The sea, although some distance from her modest home and school, represents more than just scenery—it offers her solitude, calm, and a break from routine. She moves silently through the still house, careful not to disturb her mother, and steps into the cool dawn with a sense of calm anticipation. The streets are nearly empty, and as she nears the sea, its presence seems to breathe…-

Chapter XXIV — The coming Race
Chapter XXIV begins not with sorrow, but with an invitation—a child requests Aph-Lin's presence at the funeral of a relative. I, sensing the weight of a possible encounter with Zee, ask to join. My motives are mixed: part curiosity, part avoidance, yet mostly driven by the chance to understand how this extraordinary society embraces something all living beings must face—death. Their tone, from the start, is not mournful. In place of grief, there is readiness. Death here is not shunned but welcomed,…-
