In the star-ship, Daniel picked up Sha'uri and carried her into the room with the golden chair. He noticed the white stone circle filling with blue light. He stood in the centre of the circle. Ra smiled. 'This will be the great Anubis, "God of the Dead". He has killed your friends and sent your bomb back to your world. And now I will kill both of you.' Ra lifted his hand. The shining white
ring was round it. Light shot from it and knocked Daniel down. Ra came nearer, put his hand into the circle and touched Daniel's head with the ring.
The stone's terrible white fire burned brighter and brighter inside Daniel's head. Seeing the blue light growing brighter, Daniel suddenly remembered how it cut through Sha'uri's dress. Forgetting the burning fire in his head, he took Ra's arm and held the burning ring on his head. Ra didn't understand: whydid the stupid man want to do this? Did he want to die more quickly?
