–Nothing indicates us that Schaeffer has taken this route, and much less that they have
been here, but I think that now it doesn’t matter to advance or retreat –conceded von Grossen–
. The reality is that this Valley does not exist in our World: Anyhow, it doesn’t matter to go in
one direction than other!

The carriers refused to continue. But they would not know how to return, for what was
necessary to separate again. The same two lopas stayed with them, monks of advanced age bue
equally dangerous, the yaks, zhos, and the totality of the horses. Even though there was none
snow anywhere, and the weather was spring, the peaks of the mounts Kuen Lun were very near
to suppose that the horses would be useful for a long time.

In that manner, we left the five Germans, the seven lopas, and the Gurkha, Comrades of
the Eternal Spirit, thirteen heroes in their absolute instance. I gave the mental order to the
dogs daivas and they went out in the same direction that they followed the previous day.

–It can’t be denied that you are persistent –growled von Grossen at warning the taken
route.

But I not disposed of time to attend him nor anyone else. Kâla, the Devourer Time, was
now the Death Mrtyu before us, a definitive instant in which we’d die or triumph, without
middle terms. And in that instant of heroes, was required of a Hero amongst heroes, a leader to
transmit the charismatic order to fight for the ideal, «For our Flag», «Even though we shall fall».

If the ideal was finally fulfilled, to die or live meant an honour or a triumph, whatever
could be the case. No one should be worried to die or live but for the accomplishment of the
ideal, the universal imposition of our Flag, the victory of the own Strategy. That was the
charismatic order to my Comrades. To the dogs daivas was commanded to «follow Ernst
Schaeffer» in the language of the Yantra svadi. And the dogs Kula and Akula followed the trace
of the traitor in a region that was not neither in Earth nor in Heaven. And I followed the dogs
daivas, beyond the Kula and Akula. And my twelve Comrades were behind me, without worried
about nothing what surrounded them anymore, without contemplating the possibility to die or
live, just thinking in the ideal, in the accomplishment of the ideal, in the Final Victory of our
Flag.

Since we left the bivouac, the excitation of the dogos went increasing, as if their prey be
nearer each time. They guided us with great security thorugh descendant paths, till the channel
of a torrential stream which current came from the mounts Kuen Lun. For one hour, more or
less, we marched parallel to its right shore, having the monks kâulika, in many occasions, to dig
with scimitars to open way between the bushy vachellia caven.
