"It is good," Marvor said equably. "Soon, very soon, I will make you free."
"I do not want to be free."
"You will want it," Marvor said. "I tell you something you do not know. Far away from here there are free ones. Ones without masters. I hear of them in the Birth Huts: they are elders who bring up their own in hiding from the masters. They want to be free."
Cadnan felt a surge of hope. Marvor might leave, take away the disturbance he always carried with him. "You will go and join them?"
"No," Marvor said. "I will go to them and bring them back and kill all the masters. I will make the masters dead."
"You cannot do it," Cadnan said instantly, shocked.
"I can," Marvor said without raising his voice. "Wait and you will see. Soon we will be free. Very soon now."
