"At one time, long ago," said Mirus, "on another world, for this is not my native world, as you have probably conjectured from my speech, I thought there might be something to such suppositions, suppositions pertaining to priest-kings, and even repeated conjectures pertaining to such matters". Here Mirus regarded Ellen, and she looked away, frightened. She did not wish to be beaten for looking too boldly into the eyes of a master. She recalled that he had, in the house on Earth, recounted certain views pertaining to unusual alien beings, perhaps what were now being spoken of as "priest-kings". Had there ever been such, truly? If so, were there still such? And if there were such, had they any interest or concern with human beings? And the facts of the world, as any set of facts, she knew, might be susceptible to a variety of plausible explanations. Indeed, the hypothesis of priest-kings did not seem necessary. Perhaps other aliens had brought some humans to this world, and then departed. - (Prize of Gor, Chapter )
