Nomads Reunion
A full year and a season. That was just precisely how long several dozen Warriors from a tribe of over ten thousand had been gone. More than a year, but not quite a year and a half. Their return was marked by the melting...

Unfinished Business
Have you ever just felt like everything was put back exactly the way it should be? Like everything in life was as it was meant to be? I've always felt I had everything I ever needed; ever wanted. And now, after a slight...

Ina
I met a woman last night who came to visit one of the older women who lives nearby. She introduced herself as a Singer... and even treated those who were still out and about with a song. I had to kick Cornwall awake though...

Not Exactly Snooker
"Maybe she won't notice, eh?" I winced with a broad grin as one pair of giani both bit and scratched, snarling a ruckus about being stuffed into a bag. And I finally admitted to them that they were a gift for a woman who'd...

Hunting For Frevets
I wasn't the only one baffled and scratching my head as I laid several traps in the snow while my drinking buddies... drank. And gave advice. "Move that one further away, Kazhuye. They might be smart buggers and realize...

Stand By Your Man
"You might better warn him to be sleepin' with one eye open, Singer.""What do you mean, Kazhuye?" She looked at me funny... as if I knew something I should not know. Then again it's not everyday that some back wagon plot...

The Visitor
About a week later I had a vistor come seeking me at my own wagons. Calling out my name even. Rising from the other side of where Paenuria had blocked me while I sat on a small stool and milked her, I peered straight at...

Goodbye, Singer
It is hard... and not wise to charge a kaiila into battle when one's mind is filled with anything but pure focus. Mine was not focused at all. We sped right into the camp of the First Wagons, right past the Singer. And landed...

How Hard Can It Be
"Tal Kaz." Arigh is a strange woman. Stranger than most. She was sitting there on the ground watching me for the longest time before she finally decided to speak. You know, as if she's never seen a man lead his kaiila to...

What's A Snooker?
Days later I happened upon the blue haired slave again. She was bathing herself in the frigid stream water. The same stream I often lead my kaiila to after a long day's ride on the vast open plains.Necessity lifted his snout...

What A Woman Wants
"Our actions usually run on a more emotional base of thought, which doesn't always include logic. It makes us vulnerable and soft. Exploitable. Which might be hard for a man to understand because you are the opposite.""Well...

Diamonds For Leather
"You are Tuchuk, so to be fair, I'd have to say even one is worth far more than the belt would be." Jaella is her name. One of the Leather Workers][ More to Come...

A Kiss Is Just A Kiss
T'zuri came hurrying after me and reached out to capture my hand when I was right in the middle of untying Necessity's tether. Like she wanted me to stay or something. But I don't know why. She doesn't even like me.How many...

Who Is She?
There was something different in me the next few days, even though I could scarcely remember the act itself. I was a man now. More than I'd ever been before. And I found it hard to wipe the grin off my face.That's when I...

Cornwall's Cure
There are three occasions when men drink.And only three:When lamenting over a woman.When escaping from a woman.When trying to out drink all his buddies.It is for the first reason that men are apt to bond more strongly and...

Facing The Music
It took more than half a day to finally reach the Tuchuk wagons, and yet I urged Necessity to run faster. Faster and faster still. We didn't slow up one bit once we reached the obstacle of wagons. It was for the First Wagons...

Hello Sky
"Yes, I know I've earned my right to sleep in my own wagon for a month. But being that it's my time, I thought I'd spend it out here with You."I planned to remain out here for the entire month. Away from everything. Especially...

Run Away With Me
Once the Singer had gotten herself dressed, she left my wagon and started heading off... to her own wagons, I knew. Out of compulsion I walked with her. Hoping perhaps to make her see things reasonably."Come away with me,...

Do You Have To Tell Him?
"Who cares for you now... with your papa gone?" Men don't really need women, you see. But women... they sure need men. Don't they?"Well.. The Ubar is my guardian, if that's what you mean. I live with Mama and an elderly...

How Much Did You See?
."What are you looking at, Kazhuye?" She had that accusing look on her face as she crossed her arms over her chest after turning her back to me and rummaging through my clothing... apparently looking for her clothes. She...

Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed
.I do not remember ever falling asleep. I only remember waking. In the usual place."Kazhuye! What are you doing in my bed?!"But that was not the usual sound I awoke too. I pulled to rub the sand from my eyes, only to find...

Keeping Watch
.I could not make her sleep outside. Nor could I take her home to her own wagon in such a compromised state, (even if I knew where it was!) Who would ever believe me that nothing happened? Come to think of it, I wasn't sure...

Women and Paga
.T'zuri spilled out of my wagon wrapped in my fur, only to stumble across the wagon camp enclosure to the fire again, and plop right on down to the ground. Following her cue, I too, crouched down and handed her the cup of...

House Guest
.When I had returned, I stood there holding the second cup of paga... watching in near disbelief as she crawled right up into my wagon. Ahh hell... this was just not good. No... not good at all. Was I gonna have to camp...

Drinking With Men
.I felt doubly bad now. First for the fact Necessity had been the culprit in making the girl cry. Secondly... for damn near drowning her. But more and more she seemed to give in to the numbing effects of the icy cold water...
