"They certainly look like it," Dynamon answered, "although obviously they're very primitive."
"Then how and when did they come to Saturn?" Keltry persisted.
"I haven't the faintest idea," Dynamon shrugged. "Perhaps we'll find out."
Other strange humans came running up the hill and joined the crowd behind them. Apparently they were not all men, for some of them had no hair on their faces and wore long robes over their bodies. The guide led them straight to one of the openings in the cliff, then halted and faced the two adventurers impressively.
"The koo-een!" he announced in a loud tone.
Dynamon and Keltry looked wonderingly at each other and then back to the guide. At that moment a woman appeared at the mouth of the cave. She was small and delicately formed and strikingly beautiful. She had the bluest of eyes and golden hair that fell away on either side of a marble brow. A long-sleeved white garment gathered at the waist covered her from neck to toe, but its shapeless folds could scarcely conceal the delicious curves of her little body.
"Humes!" the guide shouted proudly, "fum Earth!"
The woman's blue eyes widened as she stared solemnly at Dynamon and Keltry.
"Are you from Earth?" she said in slow musical tones. "So strange! So wonderful! How did you come?"
