Agmar:
That is how we appeared to you?

Man:
Yes, master. Rock should not walk. When children see
it they do not understand. Rock should not walk in the
evening.

Agmar:
There have been doubters of late. Are they satisfied?

Man:
Master, they are terrified. Spare us, master.

Agmar:
It is wrong to doubt. Go and be faithful.

{Exit Man.}

Slag:
What have they seen, master?

Agmar:
They have seen their own fears dancing in the desert.
They have seen something green after the light was
gone, and some child has told them a tale that it was
us. I do not know what they have seen. What should
they have seen?

Ulf:
Something was coming this way from the desert, he said.

Slag:
What should come from the desert?

Agmar:
They are a foolish people.

Ulf:
That man's white face has seen some frightful thing.

Agmar:
It is only we that have frightened them and their fears
have made them foolish.
