-
but it is dying.
-
The city of Zodanga saw to that.
-
Zodanga, the predator city,
-
moving, devouring,
-
draining Barsoom of energy and life.
-
Only the great city of Helium dared resist, stood strong,
-
matched Zodanga airship for airship,
-
holding fast for a thousand years.
-
Until one day the ruler of Zodanga
-
became cornered in a sandstorm.
-
And everything changed.
-
I need clean lights!
