"Be silent, foolish one," growled Reiloc, "he's the Wanderer!"
"But you're Edir!"
"We're Edir no longer. He's broken our bonds."
Lete seized Jupiter's hand. "Then you are the Wanderer. You weren't laughing at me back there in the cages. But why—"
"No time now," Jupiter said and plunged onto the ramp.
They ran down it wildly, crazily, reached the canal at the bottom.
"We'll have to—" Jupiter began, when Lete screamed.
"I can feel them!" the cave girl cried. "They're trying to pull me back! Jupiter—"
She bit her lips, her cheeks suddenly bloodless. "They're gone," she said in a shaken voice. "They mustn't have guessed who I was."
Jupiter stared at her. Lete's yellow eyes were wide, frightened. She swallowed miserably.
