"When we came through the forest, we noticed an empty viilliage."  Daniel raised a brow looking at the Captain.<br/><br/>"Yes, this Kurii, said he needed people to mine some metal that was near his ship, so he could repair it.  He told us of the village and had us capture them.  I planned to release them after he repaired his ship and left."<br/><br/>"You and your men and the villagers would not have been allowed to live once he had his ship repaired."  Daniel told him.  It would only be logical to kill any that knew he had been there.  Get rid of loose ends.  Daniel offered Kyla his bowl of paga.  "Not to much, it is the strong kind."  he warned her.  Then turning to the Captain again.  "Watered down paga for my slave."  The Captain nodded to his slave and she rose and went to a low table and brought some back for Kyla, handing it to her.<br/><br/>A frown formed on the Captains face as Daniel made his point on loose ends.  "You make a good point."  He rose from his cushions and Daniel did as well.  "I will show you where this Kurii is.  I have a feeling my men and I should be leaving here quite soon.  What do you propose to do with this Kurii?"  he asked.<br/><br/>"That is yet to be determined.  My mission is to find him.  The Priest Kings will deal with him after that."  Daniel told him.  He did not tell him of the device he carried to send a signal to the Priest Kings.<br/><br/>"Come Tana, you can keep his slave company as we go to the site where the metal ship is."  The Captain told his slave.<br/><br/>The four of them and Tiny left the tent.  and Tana a bit wary of Tiny moved up to Kyla, looking at the Sleen.  "You can control this creature?"  she asked looking at Tiny in awe.  Such a huge and powerful creature, walking tamely next to Kyla was amazing to her.  "I knew that thing out there was no good..  I had a feeling about it when I saw it.  I am worried about my master, being around it"  Tana told Kyla.  She then touched the fabric of Kyla's garment.  "The Scarlet of a warrior.  How did you come by this?"
