Sasha had come running through the open gate, causing people to scatter and the warriors that surrounded Midnight to give way to the beast.  Sasha immediately turned towards them hissing and snarling, showing her sharp teeth.  Her tail twitched back and forth and her muscles were tense, as she lowered her self some so she could spring at anyone that got to close.  The man that had drawn the sword stopped and his eyes went wide at the sight of the Sleen.  Daniel had not drawn his sword, but he grinned.  "Who is in charge here?"  he demanded.<br/><br/>The tarnsman with the sword shook his head to clear it some.  "Ubar Achillis."  the man said as he tried to focus his eyes on Daniel.  The man was still under the influence of Paga and Daniel shook his head.  "<br/><br/>"Take me to him NOW!"  he used his command voice at the man.  Something seemed to click in the mans head and he straightened up  a bit.  He looked around and then sheathed his sword and grinned as he motioned for him to follow.  Daniel turned and helped Kyla down from Midnight.  He then petted Sasha and said.  "Good Girl.  You stay here with Midnight and keep him safe from these people."  Sasha looked at him and nodded her head.  Daniel could not help but be amazed at the inteligentece of the Sleen.  Most did not think they were intelligent, just savage and used instinct instead.  With Kyla at his side he followed the Tarnsman, and of course a couple of the Warriors followed behind them.  They went to the Central Tower of the city which would be the Palace of the Ubar.  Here the Tarnsman informed the guards at the entrance of what was going on.  These guards looked more professional then the Tarnsmen or the guards at the gate.  One entered the tower and returned a short time later and bade them to follow.<br/><br/>Daniel and Kyla was taken to a large room that had a throne on a platform three steps above the main floor.  On the Throne sat a young man about Daniel's age.  He wore the Scarlet of the Warrior Class, was well muscled and had a sword at his hip.  "Ubar Achillis, I bring you the prisoners that have just arrived."  the man's speech was a bit slurred."<br/><br/>Daniel took over the conversation from there.  "I am Daniel Knight, Tarnsman.  Tal Ubar Achillis."  he gave the Ubar a salute.  "Your Warriors on the walls and your Tarnsmen lack discipline.  A disgrace to the Warrior Caste."  he began.  "I was not challenged as I approached on my Tarn.  The three Tarnsmen that arose from the Tarn Tower did not challenge me till I was almost upon the city.  A Tarn force could have approached and you would have had no warning what so ever.  Sloppy, disgraceful, and dangerous.  As I said they lack disciple and training.  If they had been good once, they are no longer.  Evidently there is not a strong leader among them to train and motivate them."<br/><br/>The Ubar sat there leaning forward looking at Daniel.  He raised a brow at what Daniel said and then looked over at the Tarnsman.  "Your name Tarnsman, and where is your Tarn Commander Urel?"<br/><br/>"Joshua."  the man  stood a bit more straight and proud.  "He is in his quarters Ubar. "  he grinned ans swayed a bit.  "With his slave I believe, enjoying her."<br/><br/>The Ubar sat back on his throne.  "Go fetch him."  the Ubar Commanded.<br/><br/>Joshua swallowed hard then said, "Yes Ubar."  Saluted and then turned and made  his way out of the throne room.  The Ubar motioned with a hand to one of the Warriors in the room and that one followed Joshua.<br/><br/>"So you think my Tarnsmen need more training and discipline.  "  he addressed Daniel.  Daniel nodded his head and said nothing.   Silence followed for some time as they stood there in the company of the Ubar.  Finally the doors opened that a man in a stained tunic and evidently still drunk entered with the Joshua and a couple of the Ubar's guards.  He stumbled forward and gave a salute to the Ubar.  One that was not proper at all.  "My Uber."  the man said slurring the words.<br/><br/>The Ubar looked disgusted, seeing the man.  "Why was there no Tarn Patrol out, keeping watch for any one approaching?"<br/><br/>"Why my Ubar?"  Urel answered.  "No one knows we are here, it is a waste of time."<br/><br/>"Why are you not with your Tarnsmen, training them and instilling dicipline in them?"  the Ubar asked.<br/><br/>"They need no training.  They know what to do, Joshua here knows what they have to do"  Urel replied.<br/><br/>The Paga had undoubtedly befulled Urel's mind and he didn't realize what his words were telling the Ubar.  A sober man would have had better answers  to cover up the lack of leadership.  The Ubar shook his head and looked over at Daniel, then back to Urel.  "You are releived of duty as Tarn Commander.  You actions are disgraceful and reflect disgrace upon the Warrior Caste.  Guards, disarm him and take him to the dungons below."  his order was carried out immediately and Urel began to protest as he was dragged from the room.  "So Daniel Knight.  You think you can do better?  That you could train and lead the Tarnsmen here?"<br/><br/>"Daniel grinned, "Yes I can Ubar."<br/><br/>The Ubar chuckled, "Well then we will see.  You are now the New Tarn Commander of Sadar.  I will see if your boasts are words on the wind or fact.  Tarnsman Joshua, take your new Commander to his quarters.  He now has the quarters of Urel and all slave within are now his.  Good Luck Tarn Commander."  again he chuckled.  He waved his hand that the three was escorted out of the Throne Room.  Joshua looked at Daniel a bit of fear in his eyes as he relaized just what had happened was his fault as well.
