Then I knew what had blinded me at that crucial moment, and how Sarkoja had found a way to kill me without herself delivering the final thrust!
Sarkoja, her face livid with baffled rage, whipped out her dagger and aimed a terrific blow at Dejah Thoris--and Zad was once more advancing on me with reddened blade. I felt the steel tear into my chest and all went black before me. . . .
