  The cutting of Dagon Sabad had rooted, spread, and flowered. Lighted by hundreds of Lumens clinging to the cave walls, it now filled many pots. Its leaves were plain and the flowers simple.

  It had a marked affinity for the Fusion Blooms, toward which its tendrils crept; most of the Fusions were embedded in the wall of the turnip, but the robot brought one of them in a pot and set it next to Dagon Sabad. The tiny flower of Dagon Sabad quivered and a spark of its sleeping power leapt into the mouth of the Fusion Bloom. The Bloom expanded, a jet of blazing plasma shot from it, and it sailed out of the cave, pot and all, and streaked away.

  “We must now bring Dagon Sabad near to our Fusion Blooms. Rings—” E.T. pointed, indicating that a skeletal sphere within the turnip must be built to support Dagon Sabad.

  “What material shall I use for these rings?” asked the Flopglopple.

  “Gather the Rakoor Ram, vine of pliable grace. We can shape it here, strengthen it with Antum Tadana and bend it to our needs.”
