I have finally taken everything out of my spex wagon, I have negotiated for one of the wagon builders, Algar to help me repair it, eventually I will need a new one, more than likely sooner than later from what he said, I understood this but for now I think just to repair it, I suppose I had a sentimental attachment to it, for it had been a gift from an old spex whose voice and teachings reach out to touch me, I had the most profound respect and awe of her. So I hesitate in replacing it, I would spend my days working on the small things that I could and not interfere with what they had been doing, I had negotiated a pretty fair trade with Algar for the work. Sometimes it is the bartering and wheeling and dealing that is half the fun.
I had spent a few ahns changing the color within it, not that you could see it once everything was back inside, but still I liked to have color about me even if there were only glimpses, and I was going to redo it and discard things that were so old that they had no effectiveness or use. I chose the color of the sky to be the dominant color, I felt that it relaxed me and allowed for me to use my abilities as needed. By the time I was done, I had an array of color over me, as I am not as good at painting as I am other things, but it was passable. And it had kept my mind and hands busy for a long time, I was hot ,sweaty and dirty and more than likely smelled stronger than a bosk. So I went to the stream to clean up in the spot I often seclude myself in, eventually making my way to the main fires.
As I walked I would glance out over the plains, I had been riding every night way out into the embrace of the plains, inhaling the sweet fragrance of the grass and feeling the wind whip about me, it was a way to release energy and allow myself to think without the intrusion of many voices, sometimes I would sit in the cover of the grasses, just watching the sky. However, since the disappearance of Leonette, I have curtailed going out so far from the camp, but I wanted to and I needed to.
Nearing the main fires I was surprised to see Kaeli chained to Ayguili's wagon. I was curious of this, and as I listened to them, I found out that there was a rule in effect that we were not to go past the herds during the day and we were not to leave the camp at night, well I did not know this, but I know it now and Ayguili he made sure that we understood this. Well, that puts a kink not only in my riding activities but also in my plan I was making.
I sat with them for a while, I was not sure why at first why there was talk of dwellers, but I have noticed lately this has been an ongoing thing lately, who is behind this and why is the question I have to ask, we are of the plains not the cities. And the ongoing dribble of how much we can learn from them is enough to make my head hurt.
Did no one learn from these things from the last time, they have no benefits to us that would be within who we are and what we believe. But that is my opinion, I have no use for them and I have lived among them and learned their rules and ways, I know their language and their writings. And no where at any time have I seen any that are of a benefit to us nor can we learn anything from them worthwhile. The only use they have is to trade for things we need. Again this is my personal belief. They are soft, lazy, selfish and do not value anything that does not benefit them, why would I expose my children to this? No I think not. Though I figure each to their own belief, some seem to find them fascinating. I find them about as fascinating as a sleen about to devour me for a meal.
Seems that Kaeli brought in a stray karian female, if I understood correctly, although I think I am somewhat confused on the whole thing, regardless I did not dwell on it, needless to say she was given to the sleens, from what Kaeli told me she was scrawny, well shoot, that means she was like a tooth pick for them to clean their teeth with, though I have to ask, how did she get from Kar to the plains? How did she survive the journey? The animals of the night would have killed them the first night out, most strange to my way of thinking, however I am glad I missed that, but I was disappointed they did not even save me a liver or the eyes, I will have to educate Ayguili on this so I can get these things.
I would have enjoyed torturing her myself because in my mind the only good karian is a dead one, out of all the dwellers they are the worst, I have lived in port kar the armpit of gor, it stinks and its people have no respect for themselves let alone each other, they have sunk into a realm of depravity that is not even the ways of Gor. Let alone be a place that tuchuk would wish to be in. Out of all the places I have lived that is the worst. And karians I hate them with a deep passion, they have tainted and destroyed three of my children, will I ever forgive those responsible, not in this life time. When I am betrayed I never, ever forget it, and I never forgive it. But I did not reveal these things other than they were worthless. I have never revealed things of a personal nature to many, only a few know bits and pieces and no one knows everything, not even Garyx knew everything and only because we did not have the time given to us to allow for it.
He had asked me if it was true that there were men in cities that had submitted to enslavement, and I had to tell him yes, in fact there were many in the cities that were not only silk slaves but pit slaves, some were owned by men and some by women, I think it surprised him a man would submit to a woman, well I advised him of why some women had these slaves, and that just shocked him, in truth I can understand why, now, I have to say given my status of being unmated, I have thought of having one, but in truth it was a momentary thought because well I am a woman with needs and desires, not just men suffer these things, the thing is I could not follow thru with such, I can not respect a man in a collar, because he is no longer a man,he is a male who has willingly submitted to enslavement. Now I have seen men who have been forced into enslavement but they fought it every inch of the way and fought for their freedom, that is a different story altogether so I do not include them in how I see an enslaved man. I do not like meek, mild men that can be ruled by just a flick of my hand, oh hell no. I would rather have the bold, arrogant pain in my ass tuchuk warriors any day. They have spirit, fire, life and they are far from being ruled by a woman, they value life, the plains and all that is important to us, as we are not materialistic, well for the most part there are a few even in the tribe of now, that are ruled by a woman.
Then I dropped the bombshell on him, I told him of the ones that are owned by men not just because they could fight but because some men enjoy furring anything that has a hole to get off on, I didn't put it that way but that is a fact because I have seen it, accidentally, and it is a visual that is just well one I would not rather have, but then there are couples that enjoy having a slave join them together in their furs. He left quickly I think that he did not expect his question to take him beyond a yes or no answer. Dwellers are a strange lot.
