While this was happening two other things happened as ell. The Ape had not realized his danger as quickly as the arkaan. For a second or so he remained squatting beside he fire staring at the newcomers. Then Tirian rushed upon he wretched creature, picked it up by the scruff of the eck, and dashed back to the stable shouting, “Open the oor!” Poggin opened it. “Go and drink your own medicine, hift!” said Tirian and hurled the Ape through into the arkness. But as the Dwarf banged the door shut again, blinding greenish.blue light shone out from the inside f the Stable, the earth shook, and there was a strange oise.a clucking and screaming as if it was the hoarse oice of some monstrous bird.
The Beasts moaned and howled and called out “Tashlan! ide us from him!” and many fell down, and many hid their ces in their wings or paws. No one except Farsight theEagle, who has the best eyes of all living things, noticed the face of Rishda Tarkaan at that moment. And from what Farsight saw there he knew at once that Rishda was just as surprised, and nearly frightened, as everyone else.
