The Alva living like kings while humans suffer, some selected ones kept in cages like pets. Malachi, known as the Champion of the Randoran goes to speak with the Alvan leader, to tell him that his time is up. He expects threats, maybe even violence.

As a show of their ‘good faith’ the Alva sell the human woman to him. Malachi means to set her free, but finds that she clings to him, begging him to save her planet, telling him what things used to be like.
