"Nothing."  he told her, as he placed his arms around her and pulled her closer to him  "It is strange but perhaps they must consult with Ar, and their Ubar there.	After all Ar's Station is a part of Ar's territory. "  But he had a feeling it was something else and he didn't like it.  If indeed the Ubar, once of Port Cos had good relationship with Ar's Station, they would know who he truely was and perhaps they were wanting to help but had to get permission first.  Relations with Port Cos were not to good at the time.  Ar's Station would probably welcome a change.<br/><br/>The next day Daniel went with Kyla to take Tiny to the gate.  He had a bit of time before he had to go to the Tarn Tower.  As they moved towards the gate the people seemed to be in a rush to go somewhere.  As they entered the market place the people there seemed to be in a panic and were trying to gather things up and looked as if they were leaving.  He stopped one man and asked what was going on.  "The army of Port Cos is on the way here, no more then two days out.  We are leaving before they get here."  Daniel saw some of t he warriors doing the same thing and he stopped one of them.  "We are out numbered and why should we stay.  There is no Home Stone here.  There is no reason to defend this city."<br/><br/>It seemed everyone was wanting to leave before the Army of Port Cos reached t hem.  It was probably the most sensible thing to do but to Daniel it was the cowards way.  No Home Stone.  Nothing to keep anyone there.  They would leave and go where?  Many he thought had found a  home there.  He looked down at the ground and saw a fist size rock there with a flat side.  An Idea formed and he picked it up and with a rusty nail he found there as well he carved the symblol of Sadar into the soft stone.  He took a deep breath and then yelled out.  "People of Sadar, why do you flee."<br/><br/>One man stopped and called back, "An army is on the way to destroy us.  There is nothing here to hold us."  There were other similar shouts.<br/><br/>"People of Sadar."  he cried out again holding up the stone high over h is head, "Will you desert the Home Stone of Sadar?  Will you let an enemy take it?"<br/><br/>People stopped in their tracks to look at him, their eyes slowly moving to what he held in his hand.  People dropped what they had been carrying and moved closer.  Soon there was a crowd surrounding them.  Everyone fell to their knees, grown men began weeping.  "The Home Stone of Sadar!"  "He found the Home Stone of Sadar."  "We have a Home Stone."  Came the whispers.  All reached out their hands towards the stone he held.<br/><br/>"People of Sadar.  Will you abandon the Home Stone of Sadar?"  he called out.<br/><br/>"NO!"  they yelled in unison.<br/><br/>"Will You Fight for it."  He asked.<br/><br/>"YES"  Again they yelled in unison.<br/><br/>He saw a couple warriors and one of his tarnsmen.  They too were on their knees and crying.  "Gather the Warriors, Gather the Tarnsmen, bring them all to the Parade Field."  he ordered them.  They jumped to their feet and ran off to do his bidding.  He then took Kyla by the arm and lead her through the crowd, Tiny following behind them.  He kept the stone held high and people ran ahead shouting the news.  People stopped what they were doing and lined the street on both sides staring, crying, and on their knees.  Once he had passed they rose and followed him to the Central Tower.  There the Ubar and his elite warriors stood.  Daniel moved up to the Ubar and handed him the "Home Stone."	"Sadar has a Home Stone.  We Fight to save the City and the Home Stone.  Guard it well."  he then turned to the huge crowd of people.  "Every able body man to the Walls.  You might not be Warriors and trained to fight.  But you can all use a cross bow.  We fight!  We protect the Home Stone of Sadar!"  There was a mad cheering as people stood crying out his name.  Turning to Kyla.   "Come on, I must go to talk to our Warriors and Tarnsmen. "  They had two days to prepare, two days before they would have to  fight to live or die.  Looking at the Ubar, his face one of surprise and wonder as he held the Stone.  It might not be the real Home Stone of Sadar, when the city was made, but it was now.  The people believed i t to be the Home Stone of Sadar.  He could now see the power a Home Stone had over the people.  Each seemed to have grown taller, pride filled their eyes and faces, along with a fierce desire to protect it at all costs.  He also realized something then and there.  He could have left, but he had a desire to stay and fight for the people of Sadar, for the city.  He felt something he had not felt before.  He felt he belonged.  He felt like he had a Home, and he was not about to let someone take it from him.
