William was a bit surprised to have Kyla ask him to go with her to the gate.  But he agreed and went with her as she took Sasha to go hunting her food.  The Sleen seemed so calm and docile with her, as she was with Daniel.  It puzzled him how the two of them could have tamed a Black Sleen like that.  When asked about what he knew of Sadar, he shook his head.  "I did not know it existed before I was brought here.  When I arrived it was like any other city except it has no home stone and mercenaries to protect it.  But with out a home stone they will not stick around if trouble comes.  Neither with the people.  They have come from all over, some how word has reached them of this place.  They are not welcomed in other cities as they have no home stone of their own.  There has been many wars between cities and people have been displaced, especially if their home stone has been destroyed.   From what I have learned from the drunken chatter of Urel, the people were here already, and then Achelies came with warriors and took control.  After that the mercenaries came.  He made himself Ubar.  The people here did not care as he brings them trade goods and also some measure of security. "  The reached the gate and he watched Sasha bound through to go hunting.  He saw how the guards looked at Kyla and he didn't like it.<br/><br/>He kept an eye on them and he could see them laughing and nodding towards him.  He knew they were making jokes about him and putting him down.  He ignored that, but stayed close to Kyla.  "I was once a Warrior of Ar."  he told her, and then told her what had happened to him.  The same snarl and disgust was on his face.  "There are not many male slaves on Gor.  That is because we prefer to die then be enslaved.  We will fight till we are killed.  I was not fortunate to die that day."<br/><br/>Daniel began his training with the Tarnsmen, first in sword to sword combat to see what they could do, and began a rigorest exercise program that would rebuild their strength and endurance.  This went on for several days and during that time he found out from them that they had found their way to Sadar by way of hearing strangers talk about it.  Men that to them seemed out of place but the chance of finding a place to go was something they all wanted.  They knew nothing of the Ubar, where he came from, who he had been before, only that he came and took control of the city and began sending the Tarnsmen to Port Cos.  He seemed to know everything about the city and its Tarn Patrols.  They were able to slip in through the patrols, hit and take what they could and begone along another route that was clear of Tarn Patrols.  It was as if he knew their daily pattern.  They never questioned why he wanted to hit just Port Cos.  But they felt that it was because he knew more of it then any other city on the Vosk.  It was profitable, most of the stuff they took was sold to Merchants that took it to other cities and sold it.  They paid well for what was stolen.<br/><br/>He set up the patrols and took part in them himself.  This gave him his chance to drop the message capsule and steer the patrol away from the area so that Simon could pick it up and deliver it to the Tarn Commander of Ar's Station.  To find out more about the Ubar of Sadar, Daniel had to get into his good graces.  Therefore he continued the training of the Tarnsmen and took it to the sky as well.  He taught them to fly in formations of three  The leader and two wingmen.  One would attack and the other two cover and then they would switch off onto another target.  He had them practice with spears and crossbows, using targets dangling down from other tarns.  They had once been good at their profession and had slipped down much, but he could see they were regaining their confidence again and their desire to be true warriors and tarnsmen.  They were standing straighter, their shoulders squared.  They walked proudly, heads held up with looks of pride in their eyes once more.<br/><br/>He talked to William daily and found out that the guards at the gate were looking at Kyla with  certain looks that he did not like.  Daniel knew that William would not be there all the time so he made a decision and had a weapon smith forge something for him.  He had a pair of bracers made, that had three blades each that could be instantly released and locked into place, forming claws of sorts.  One night when he came back from the Tarn Tower he took Kyla out into the courtyard behind the house.  He strapped the bracers on to her fore arms and showed her how to work them.  "I am busy with the Tarnsmen and gathering information and the trust of the Ubar.  William will not always be there at the gate with you.  You must learn to protect yourself."  As it was the people of the city seeing her everyday with Sasha had begun calling her Sleen Girl.  Well now she would have claws to match the name.  In the middle of the courtyard was a post, that had once been used to whip slaves at.  This Daniel decided to use as a training post for Kyla and the claw bracers.  He began to show her how to use them, how to stand, what to go for with them.  A warrior had a shield and would use it to block blows, but with agility and certain moves, one could by pass the shield and attack the legs and back of the warrior.  "I am giving you permission like I have William, to use what ever force you  need to protect yourself.  These warriors are not like those of Ar's Station or Ar. "  he caressed her face and smiled.  "Practice every day and do not be afraid to use them if you need to.  I trust you to use them wisely."  Again he was doing something that was not done with slaves.   He was allowing her to carry weapons, and to use them.
