Chapter 5
City Of Tor

The brothers Ride through the gates of Tor. They looked around in awe at the great city. They located a stable and payed to have their kaiila fed and taken care of. They then walked among the markets and vendors, and saw their first paga tavern and entered.

They all ordered a paga and began to relax and enjoy the drinks, when a large warrior entered. He approached the brothers table and looked at them evenly. "I am Dunklezan, First sword of Tor, and the Vizer Saan. It has come to my attention you are of the Raiders of Klima. You have caused much damage to the trade of Tor."

The brothers stood at the ready, but SENSEI held up his hand. "We are of Klima, but have come to Tor in peace. I would like an audience with your Vizer."

Dunklezan looked surprised, then he smiled. "right this way then" and he ushered the brothers to the door and down to the palace.

They entered the plush hall of the Vizer. There sat Saan, Vizer of Tor. SENSEI spoke to him "We are of the Raiders Camp of Klima. We come in peace, we only ask as much space of Tor as to pass through on our journey." Saan eyed the brothers closely and smiled. "Then you may have that, and you may dine in my palace with me tonight." The brothers gracefully accepted his invitation. They feasted all night in the palace. There was dancing and slaves abundant the likes the brothers had never seen.

Lone Wolf became intrigued with a scribe. They spent much of the time talking in a corner. Vargyr was also entralled by the scribe and they were shuffling books and notes. Both brothers hanging on every word of the scribe. The other brothers slowly made thier way to the guest chambers that Saan had prepared for them. Some with kajira over their shoulders. But Lone Wolf and Brown Wolf stayed up well after the others had gone, speaking with the scribe.

The early morning sun peeked through the palace windows and SENSEI rose and made his rounds waking his other brothers. Lone Wolf and Brown Wolfs couches were empty. SENSEI asked about the palace, but none had seen the two brothers. The brothers decide their two siblings must already be at the stables, so they made their way to the stables. Still there was no sign of thier two brothers. They got their kaiila saddled, supplies bought, but still no sign. SENSEI was starting to get worried, you could feel the tension in the air about the brothers.

He climbed in the saddle of the beast and looked about. Suddenly up from near the wells came Lone Wolf and Brown Wolf, huffing and puffing. They had a very excited look on their faces. They quickly explained that Saan and his scribes had offered them could stay and learn the caste of the scribes, and they had accepted. SENSEI protested, but he saw there was no changing the brothers minds. He wished his two brothers well and smiled at the excitement in their eyes. The caravan of eight moved out the gates of Tor and towards the plains.
