Return - Book III Of The Five Worlds Trilogy - Plot & Excerpts
There, he had been a minister with a desk and no discernible job; here, he had no desk. Being a Titanian child on Mars was as much of a mindless activity as being a Minister of Nothing. He was used to wasting time.And waiting.Waiting was what he did best. For within Trel Clan were two things: hatred and lust. If he had thought on it, which he did not, he would have discovered that these two qualities had always existed within him, with room for very little else in the way of appetites. He had only been waiting to have them given form and function.Again, if Trel Clan had been subject to self-reflection (which, again, he was not), he would have discovered that though his hatred had, up until recently, been formless and generalized, being directed more or less at the race of all other sentient beings, his lust had always been more localized. For in all those years before and during his ministration at MFITSCDEG, there had always been in the most backward recesses of his mind the feeling, if not the exact certainty, that the twenty successors ahead of him—cousins, aunts, uncles, and, yes, second and third cousins—to the throne of Kamath Clan, Queen of Titan, should not exist; and that he, Trel Clan, had right to that glorious throne.
