She was beginning to come around to accepting her new way of life.  Any plans she had for her life on Earth was now gone.  Slavers did not care about what kind of life you wanted, though they did follow certain guidelines.  They did not kidnapped married women nor those with children.  Those guidelines were followed to the letter.  When she asked him how long he had been on Gor, he thought back.  "In Earth Time about a year.  The time here on Gor is calculated differently.  I have had a good life here, more fulfilling then that on Earth.  All that technology on Earth was distracting and took much away from one's life.  Everyone there has become dependent on it and if something were to happen where they could not use it, the people of Earth would be lost, and would not know what to do.  Here life is simple and more healthy."  he grinned.  "Now I hope to find a place to call home.  I have been wandering from place to place with Jamal for the year I have been here.  I have seen many places fought a number of battles against raiders and the like.  It is time to find a place to call home."  he wondered if he truelly could find a place he could call home.  The people of Gor had a strange notion about that.  Every village, town, and city had what was called a Home Stone.  It was just a piece of rock with the symbol of the city carved on it.  Usually when a village or town or even a city is built, a home stone is created and held sacred for all the inhabitents.  Without a Home Stone, there was no village, town, or city.  If something happened to the Home Stone, the people would become vagabonds, outcasts, people without a home.  If a city was captured by another, the captors would hold the Home Stone of the vanquished city and the people would have to do as the captors told them.  He still had a hard time trying to come to terms with that.  How could a piece of stone hold so much power?<br/><br/>Daniel brought Midnight down around mid day.  Once he landed he took things from large Saddle bags on the saddle and started a fire.  He set up a metal tripod over the fire and hung a small iron pot above the fire.  Into the pot he put water, dried meat and vegtables along with some spices.  He stirred the mix and then Sent Midnight off to hunt for his food.  The Tarn took off and circled above them and then dove down towards a heard of Talbuk, an antelope like creature.  They were on a grassy plain with tall grass, and near a stream, one of many the snaked their way across the Plain.  "Do not go far from here."  he told her.  "There are things out there that are probably hunting for food.  Creatures that are large and dangerous, and would have you for lunch."  It was not that he was trying to keep her close or prevent her from escaping.  There were large animals, predetors out there.  He cleared a large area of the tall grass so that he could see in all directions for a ways.  He had his spear and sword ready to deal with anything that might come at them.  Soon the contents of the pot began to give off a delicious aroma.
