Daniel smiled as she laid down and moved up against him, pulling the fur over the two of them.  He could tell she was nervous about it all and was probably afraid he was going to use her right then and there.  He pulled some of her hair back from her face and gave her a slight kiss on the cheek, then settled down in the blankets to get some sleep.  Midnight did the same by lowering himself to the ground and tucking his head under a wing.  But he would know if something approached and let him know by screeching.  But nothing bothered them and they got some good sleep.  He was up early, before the sun rose and belted on his sword and made sure the fire was completely out and covered with dirt.  He washed up some in the cold water of the stream and let Kyla sleep a bit more.  There was no sense in waking her that early.<br/><br/>He took the time he had and used it to exercise and practice with his sword and shield, going through drills he had learned on Earth and on Gor.  It kept him fit and his skills horned.  But the time the sun rose some, he completed the workout and shook Kyla to wake her up.  "Wake up little slave.  Almost time to go.  You might like to wash up in the stream, but beware i t  is cold.  it will certainly wake you up.  He took the bedroll and put it away and made sure everything was packed up.  They would reach Ar's Station sometime that day before night fell.  When Kyla was done he hoisted her up onto Midnight and climbed up himself.  Securing them to the saddle they again rose into the air, the fur around her once more.  He chuckled.  "Soon you will not have to fly so much."  he told her.<br/><br/>They flew all morning and landed for their noon meal and as before, Daniel let Midnight go hunt.  They ate and relaxed for a while out on the open plain.  In the distance they could see a heard of Talbuk, antelope like creatures, grazing.  Because of that he was more alert for trouble, as the big predators would probably be stalking the heard.  When Midnight returned they continued their journey and spotted the city and the huge river Vosk a few Ahn before nightfall.  As expected a Tarn Patrol intercepted them to inquire their buisness.  "I have come with a letter of introduction from the Tarn Commander of Ar.  I am seeking a position with Ar's Station's Tarn Force."  The leader of the patrol grinned and nodded and blade Daniel to follow him to the city as the others resumed their patrol."
