Daniel chuckled a bit at her comments.  "This has been the way it has been for thousands of years.  They why is lost in time.  Perhaps there was a reason for it back then, but now it is the custom and way of thing.s.  I know you do not like the slave position but like everything else it is expected.  Yes it makes you feel vulnerable and it is for that reason they have it.  Again Why I don't know, but I am sure it is probably written down somewhere in a library some where.  He turned to her and lifted her chin up so she could look at him.  What can it harm to do it, You know how it makes you feel, but it seems you can control your fears and anxieties.   Or is it that you can't?"  He shuged his shoulders.  But you will be bringing her here every morning and let her go hunt.  You will wait for her by the gate, and when she returns you will bring her back to the quarters.  By that time Darius' slave should be there to begin your lessons. "  He had also told the guards that she was a new slave and was to be trained.  They knew that new slaves had that denial period and fought being a slave.  Hopefully it would help to prevent problems.  But he did not tell Reese this.<br/><br/>He waited with her for Sable to return.  The Sleen would take a while though, especially after making its kill so it could devour what it wanted of it.  He didn't know what to say to her that she would not reject.  Gor had a history of thousands of years.  It had its own customs and its own way of life then Earth.  It was basically a mans world.  Why that was so, he had not asked, and probably would not have gotten an answer.  Slavery had been the norm for all those centuries.  From the time the Greeks and Persians were brought to Gor.  Other nationalities were brought later.  He knew the Turks, American Indians, Scandinavian countries, Cosacks, were represented on Gor.  But all of them seemed to have followed the same cast system and the same style of military that the ancient Greeks and Persians followed, along with slavery.  There were some differences here and there but not much.  For what ever reason the Priest Kings, who brought them to Gor, had for keep things the way they were it seemed to work and kept the people of Gor thriving and from destroying everyone.  Wars  were not the long drawn out things like on Earth.  Surround the city with an army, keep all its inhabitants in and let no one in by land or air and in a short time the food supply would run out and they either had to fight or surrender.  Fighting was preferred in almost every case though.  Some times the city would win and sometimes they would lose.  But the death toll was normally a lot less then wars drawn out for years, both military and civilian.<br/><br/>He could see where Reese hated being a slave.  The loss of freedom to really choose what she wanted to do was not an easy thing to accept.  But on Gor, where there was no way back to Earth, what would she do.  Even the Free women of Gor had no real power.  Some were rich, because their father was.  But they did not rule, they did not have any sort of power to speak of.  Like those women of the Arabic World, they were protected and sheltered and did what they were told to do.  Only in the last two hundred years or so had the Women on Earth gotten a status that was said to be equal to a man's.  But men still looked down on women on Earth and in many ways tried to limited their power there.  The women brought to Gor as slaves, after a while accepted their new life and were happy.  Thousands of women that were slaves all could not be wrong on how they felt and their acceptance of their life as a slave.  He looked at her and asked.  "Can thousands of women that are slaves on Gor, that are enjoying their lives as such all be wrong."
