aemon uttered the softest possible growl at the back of her throat, and settled down with her paws outstretched in the manner of the Sphinx. He said nothing,

But as long as you were conscious, it would be better, wouldn't it? Better than feeling nothing, just going into the dark, everything going out forever and ever?"His part was simply to listen. His eyes were locked on hers, and he was paying profound attention; there was no need to respond. She said:"The other day, when you spoke about her so bitterly, and about me... I thought you hated her. I could understand your hating me. I've never hated you, but I could understand... I could see why you might hate me. But I couldn't see why you hated Lyra."He turned his head away slowly, and then looked back."I remember you said something strange, on Svalbard, on the mountaintop, just before you left our world," she went on. "You said: Come with me, and we'll destroy Dust forever,

"Is this the end of everything?"He said nothing.Moving like someone in a dream, she got to her feet, picked up the rucksack that lay in the corner of the room, and reached inside it for her pistol; and what she would have done next, no one knew, because at that moment there came the sound of footsteps running up the stairs.Both man and woman, and both daemons, turned to look at the orderly who came in and said breathlessly:"Excuse me, my lord, the two daemons, they've been seen, not far from the eastern gate, in the form of cats, the sentry tried to talk to them, bring them inside, but they wouldn't come near. It was only a minute or so ago..."Lord Asriel sat up, transfigured. All the fatigue had been wiped off his face in a moment.
