Forty columns of fire ornamented the hall in which
I found myself. One side of the columns shone
with a white and vivid fire, the other side seemed
to be in shadow; a blackish flame covered it. In the
center of this place stood an altar in the form of a
serpent. A greenish gold embellished its diapered
scales in which the surrounding flames were
reflected. Its eyes looked like rubies. A silvery
inscription was placed near it...
