I looked up, hearing tarn drums in
the sky. A squadron of Ar's tarn cavalry, the stroke of their wings
synchronized with the beat of the drum, passed by, overhead. There must
have been some forty birds and riders. The formation seemed large to be a
patrol.
I watched the robes of free women, passing in the street, the wagons, the
now increasing throngs, the palanquins of rich men, some with lovely,
briefly tunicked slaves chained behind them, attached to the palanquins,
an affectation of display.
My mistress was long in the shop. I assumed I would have many packages to
bear.
I then saw a kaiila pass. It was lofty, stately, fanged and silken. I had
heard of such beasts, but this was the first one I had seen. It was
yellow, with flowing hair. Its rider was mounted in a high, purple saddle,
with knives in saddle sheaths. He bore a long, willowy black lance. A net
of linked chain, unhooked, dangled beside his helmet. His eyes bore the
epicanthic fold. He was, I gathered, of one of the Wagon Peoples, most
likely the Tuchuks. His face, colorfully scarred, was marked in the rude
heraldry of those distant, savage riders. FIGHTING SLAVE OF GOR-,
