Daniel chuckled.  It was nice to have someone to talk to and share thoughts.  Even her thoughts she shared with him had merit and he liked that.  Again she was doing what a true Pleasure Slave would do.  Talk to her master and help him think more clearly.  "It is unclear of what these creatures are like in combat.  They look beast like, but are they fast or are they slow.  They have technology so they might have weapons beyond what even Earth has."  he told her.  "They to have claws as you saw and are powerfully built.  Therefore they probably know how to use their natural weapons as well as modern ones.  I think this time we will have to use our brains more then physical means.  But that does not mean you will stop training"  he chuckled.  The claws was one thing but being true to the Warrior Way, even if she was a slave, she would need to learn the other weapons of a warrior.  But they would have to be lighter and perhaps smaller for her.   A man was stronger and could bear more weight.<br/><br/>But that would have to be done when they got back.  He would have a sword and a shield made to accomadate her size as well as a spear.  Then there would be the training he had received on earth for the oriental martial arts.  Being able to use a mans weight to your advantage could be useful for her.  He had seen women smaller then her throw a man his size to the ground, just by using leverage in the right way.  He told her what his plans for her training would be to see what she would say.  By the time he was done training her she would be a deadly companion and slave.  It was later when another individual came and got them and took them back up towards the surface and to another entrance to the Hive.  Here was a large cave with High Tharalaions.  Two had been saddled and packed with supplies.  The map said they would be going south towards a large forested area, a couple of days ride away.  He could see the urgency of finding the ship.  It was indeed close to the Priest Kings Nest.<br/><br/>Daniel helped her into the saddle and gave her the reigns to the beast.  "Just like riding a horse in a sense.  but the saddle is designed to accomadate the way the creature runs on its two legs, and to asorb the shock of the grate."  He mounted up on his and took the lead as he guided his mount out of the cave entrance and again into a valley in the mountains that lead out into the open grassy plain.  Tiny loped beside them enjoying the freedom of the  open and the opportunity to go hunt for his food.  This was going to be different then flying.
