ET- Wall of Fire

  E.T. reached down to it, and his healing finger glowed, for he must anesthetize the plant first; then with tender care, he broke it off.

  A sheet of fire sprang out of it, rising like a geyser, high above the mountain peak. He was knocked backward with the roar, as a fountain of radiance lit the sky, thousands of times brighter than the lights of Lucidulum when a Lord of Wisdom is crowned in primal radiance. This was the planetary crown, rising higher and wider, into a blazing wheel. The heavens shook, and E.T. lay on the ground, trembling in the wake of the surge he had released and seeing his past and the past of the world, and its future dreams undreamt, brooded upon by Dagon Sabad. Systems of flame revolved, as the universe-to-be appeared in shadow form amidst the flames, all of it flowing from the mouth of a plant no bigger than E.T.’s little finger. He whispered his thanks to the mother reed and slowly backed away, the cutting clutched in his hand.
...

  They sped across the rough peak and dove down a rocky incline as the cruisers of Lucidulum shot by, and circled, round the eruption of Dagon Sabad, whose fiery breath still shot in the air, as if from the heart of a volcano.
