The Sixth Palace
by Robert Silverberg
Ben Azai was deemed worthy and stood at the gate of the sixth palace and saw the ethereal splendor of the pure marble plates. He opened his mouth and said twice, “Water! Water!” In the twinkling of an eye they decapitated him and threw eleven thousand iron bars at him. This shall be a sign for all generations that no one should err at the gate of the sixth palace.—Lesser Hekhaloth
There was the treasure, and there was the guardian of the
treasure. And there were the whitening bones of those who had tried in
vain to make the treasure their own. Even the bones had taken on a kind
of beauty, lying out there by the gate of the treasure vault, under the
blazing arch of heavens. The treasure itself lent beauty to everything
near it—even the scattered bones, even the grim guardian.
