any support from you I was able to get this rover out of the danger zone.тАЭ

тАЬTherefore you are deserving of my fullest respect and appreciation?тАЭ he replied. тАЬAnd yet, I have
gained from the incident something that is a consolation to me.тАЭ

тАЬWhat do you mean?тАЭ I asked belligerently.

We locked glances for a moment, and suddenly we had to laugh. Until now I had only regarded
Fratulon as my mentor and guide, as my protector and even as a sort of father. But in this moment I
noted that our mutual relationship had changed. It had become a comradeship between two men.

тАЬIтАЩm cold?тАЭ came Ice ClawтАЩs complaint from the back seat. тАЬI fear that my body will freeze into a
solid block.тАЭ

2/ STRANGE PARTNERS IN A STRANGE LAND



Fratulon perceived the approaching moment of destiny:

He had given Atlan a thorough course of training and education. He had instructed him in all branches
of science, he had schooled him in all the martial disciplines and shared with him his own vast fund of
experience. At age 17 Atlan was now a full-fledged, high calibre specimen of manhood. He no longer
needed his training master and could now but increase his development through his own experience.

Fratulon could not do much more for him. Atlan would have to build his personality from his own
reserves and intuition. And yetтАФit was necessary to make one final manipulation of his fate which was of
the greatest magnitude of all. In order to shape his future, Fratulon knew he must conjure up the ghosts of
the pastтАж

The sun had risen by now to an angle where it caused the silvery strands of the net to cast confusing
shadows onto the desert sands, and thus my perception of details ahead was difficult. Thinking that my
companion had discovered another obstacle, I slowed down abruptly. But then I saw what he was
pointing at.
