.They came loose like cooked turkey drumsticks and, flinging them one way, Remodrop-kicked the maimed armless shell that was Kali in another.Howling unimaginable curses, Kali described a shallow parabola over the Palaceof Sorrows.At the apex of her flight, she acquired a sudden halo of feathered shafts.They seemed to spring from her body like porcupine quills.But in fact,several plainly impaled her head and vitals, entering from one direction andemerging from the other.Kali plummeted like a stricken bird.Her howl followed her down.When she hitthe ground, she splintered.She didn't move until a group of men carryinggreat war bows descended upon her.And then she moved only because they flungher dead corpse into the nearby banks of the Tigris River, which was alreadyrunning red with the blood of Iraiti soldiers.Remo watched this from the palace parapet."We're in Abominadad, right?" he asked Chiun."Correct.""Then why do I see Mongols down below?""Because you do."Remo was silent a long moment."Are those your Mongols or mine?" he asked atlast."They are our Mongols," said Chiun, suppressing a smile as his proud eyessearched his son's face.Boldbator Khan rode up to the Master of Sinanju and his pupil, his broadcountenance beaming and bloodspattered.He dismounted his white pony, whichdropped excrement with Herculean abandon.Boldbator wore a long del of bluebrocade."Sain Baina," Master of Sinanju," he said gruffly.Page 87 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlChiun acknowledged the hail with a formal, "Sain Baino.""What're you guys doing here?" asked Remo, ever the informal."We followed the Seven Giants as our Master bade us.""Seven Giants?"Boldbator Khan of the New Golden Horde pointed a stubby finger into the nightsky, where the Big Dipper shone.Remo counted seven stars and said, "Oh.Wecall it the Big Dipper.""Everyone knows that it is really the Seven Giants." Boldbator addressed theMaster of Sinanju."We searched in vain for the Ishtar Gate, O friend of theold days.""The barbarians never rebuilt it since you last visited their land," Chiunsupplied."Laziness, no doubt."Another Mongol came running up, dragging something long and limp in one hand.He wore a black leather vest and his face resembled a weather-beaten brassgong."Remo! It is good to see you again, White Tiger.""Hyah, Kula.What's with the freaking bag?"Kula the thief lifted a long canvas bag."It is for the freaking caliph," hesaid proudly."Not much of a present," Remo noted."Looks empty."Kula smiled happily, saying, "Soon it will not be.""Where is the evil one?" asked Boldbator."Dead," said Chiun."I have dispatched him."The moon faces of the two Mongols collapsed into expressions so tragic theywere almost comical."The horses will be disappointed," said Bolbator.Kula threw away the bag witha muttered curse."Am I missing something here?" Remo wondered."It is a fine Mongol tradition," Chiun explained."One sews up the offendingmonarch in a bag and tramples out his life under the hooves of wild horses.""If we're talking about Maddas Hinsein, it sounds good to me," Remo allowed."Except I got him." He frowned."Didn't I?""That he has been dealt with is all that matters, not proper credit," Chiunsniffed."If you say so," said Remo, tearing a length of scarlet silk from hisdisheveled harem pants and using it to wipe his brow.To his surprise, heencountered a round bump like a pigeon's egg."What the heck is this?" he demanded."Do not touch it!" Chiun said, slapping Remo's hands away like those of achild."We will deal with that later.""Hey, is that any way to act during a family reunion?""There would not have been need of a reunion had you not been so reckless inyour ways," Chiun scolded."Your obtuseness has caused me much suffering.Howcould you not comprehend the gesture my essence made as it appeared beforeyou? Even Smith understood this.""Bully for Smith.Where the hell were you the last three months-hiding? Ithought you were dead.""You only wished I was dead.You coveted my Mastership [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
