Let all who oppose my Home Stone fall to ruin by my hand

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: standing with my bow, dressed
warmly with my woollen tunic and a black sleen coat over that,
the morning was crisp and clear, the light breeze barely enough
to move a leaf on the shrubbery that was beside the path, the
trees of the forest obviously acting as a wind breaker. The
shadows were long here in the forest which would work to our
advantage while stalking our prey. The stream flowed beside one
side of the path and the woods and forest on the other, the
mountains were a great place to get away to when things needed
to be brought back into balance

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: My breath was like fog as we
stood there listening , every sound clear and sharp , the small
bow held in my left hand, the soft leather gloves keeping my
hands some what warm, layers of clothing was concealed under my
long cloak and my bosk skin boots certainly kept my feet warm
and dry ,the scenery was beautiful and the mountains in the
distance were no doubt filled with wildlife , just waiting for
us to spot.

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: It had been too long since I
hunted a mountain larl, instead I had hunted two legged larl's
across Gor it was time for me to take a break and get my balance
back. The long nights here on Hulneth had but one advantage I
spent it with my woman but cuddled up in the furs could only be
enjoyable to a certain extent......a man needed more. I turned
to look over the beauty behind me, she was short and blond and
dressed like a gorean oros man. We stood still just absorbing
our surroundings now as we took a breather from walking for a
few hours since just before dawn. "lets move off the path here"
I pointed to a tiny gap in the shrubbery, my finger showing the
slight scuff in the dirt and the overturned stone an indication
that the beast had slipped into the thicker bushes here "see the
trail where it slipped off the path into the bush?" We had had
reports of the larl coming down into the pastures looking for
easy prey and apparently a few verr had been carried away by the
beast

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: looks to where you had
pointed and tilted my head, my, hand twitching slightly eager to
use my bow after so many hours being cooped up in side working
on my pieces it was so wonderful to be out here with you, even
the damn cold couldn't dampen my mood ,a nice larl pelt would be
a nice bonus too ,and loosing stock was not acceptable on any
front

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: now in the past when hunting
predators it was known that the big cats would double back on
its trail and lay an ambush for whoever stalks it. I knew that
moving into the trees would only add an extra area to watch like
above us because the beast could be laying in wait on a branch
above us waiting to pounce. I held three arrows in my left hand,
the one that held the horned bow, another was nocked as we crept
off the path into the shrubbery with me in the lead. The sleen
knife on my right hip close at hand should it be needed in a
hurry especially if it got within the range of our bows when the
beast would be at its most dangerous. Moving slowly now because
we had to proceed with caution, that beast was not far ahead of
us my concern was for the little companion behind me, I motioned
for her to open some distance between us in case the beast had
laid the ambush as anticipated. If it pounced onto me then My
Soraya could use her bow on the animal. Stalking now conscious
of every movement and sound about us....it was like everything
was amplified

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Seeing your signal I stay
back allowing you to get 15 paces or so in front , my bow
notched and my sense on high alert , treading as quietly on the
leaf matter as possibly avoiding a few fallen branches so not to
give our position away, the larl may be smart but we are smarter
and the game has begun .My heart dancing in my chest the
adrenaline running rife thru my small frame, eyes scanning
around watching for the slightest disturbance in the undergrowth

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: The silence began to close in
on us the deeper into the trees we went, it was un-natural and
only began to highlight the danger that we were in. It was one
thing hunting prey but completely another when you hunt a
predator...the hunter can so easily become the hunted.
I stopped in my tracks and knowing you as this was not the
first time we had hunted together you would have too. Senses
heightened now as every fibre of my being began to tense ready
for anything able to spring into action in a heartbeat. I had
been here before, that moment before battle when the Gods saw
your future and you didn't care but trusted in what they wished
of you. I could sense it, I could feel it. I knew that the beast
was near. I had been looking around me on the ground and above
me at prospective points to spring from but had seen nothing.
Every nerve end ready and alive tingling as I anticipated the
attack, my senses alive and super sensitive, I could here my
heart beating in my chest while the silence about us was
becoming oppressive.

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Stillness was all around us
as I scanned around the area knowing you would be doing the
same, its amazing what you could see in your vision if you
actually stopped and looked , the smallest ant, a beetle
scurrying , it was close the beast was it watching us possibly
so, was it hearts beating and its blooding coursing thru its
veins waiting for the moment to attack, was it scared , surely
emotions are not just confined to us ,my breathing was slow and
calm , my bow ready , tilting my head just slightly I smelt the
air ..

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: In a split ihn...a fraction
of a heartbeat there was a sound and out of the corner of my eye
I caught movement, it was a white shadow like a ghost hurtling
itself towards me from above to my left while at the same time I
began to move to my left trying to bring my bow up to shoot at
the beast but realised that I would not make it so instead tried
to dive over to the left the direction that the beast was coming
from hoping to get under its jump so that it would fly over the
top of me. Its hind legs caught me kicking me over onto my left
side my bow flying out and away beyond reach, my right hand
instinctively grabbing at the blade on my hip as I hoped that
you were already taking aim at the beast before it turned on me.

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: My bow was up and the arrow
sent flying before you hit the ground , the whoosh was deafening
as the arrow sink deep into the beasts back, it swung its head
towards me as I notched another arrow my hands trembling as I
tried to keep myself focused ,I saw your hand shoot out for the
blade on your hip as the beast turned ready to lung , bringing
my bow up I let the second arrow fly...

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: the beast swung about its
paws and claws raking at the ground as it snarled and spun
towards me, the arrow struck just behind it's front paws up high
on its back. Its haunches bunching and tensing as it readied
itself for a jump at me. I rolled and began to get up onto my
haunches as the beasts sprang its jaws huge open as it came at
me hurtling all its weight behind the jump when the second arrow
struck. My left arm out in front of me was punched down the
beasts throat, shoving my arm hard hoping that the deeper my arm
went into its throat the weaker its bite. My right hand now
stabbing up into its chest, the long 12" blade biting deep as it
sought its heart my grip tight, every muscle in my body bunched
and tense as I felt the weight of the beast crash into me
knocking us both down into the undergrowth.

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: The tangle of beast and
Warrior, the guttural sound of the agony the beast was feeling
as it thrashed about Dhals blade buried down its throat my
arrows piercing through its eye into its brain, opponents in
battle was it out numbered? perhaps, but life is cruel for
everything that draws breath on Gor. blood was trickling in many
places onto its white fur , rivers of rubies across white, like
the purest diamond, mesmerising ...life to death

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: As I lay there the wind
knocked out of my chest, the beast too lay still, the second
arrow had struck it in its eye piercing into its brain while the
knife had found it's heart. My arm was in the gaping maw,
fortunately it did not get to snap its jaws shut or I could have
lost my arm. I lay there trying to catch my breath the warmth of
the beasts blood soaking onto my chest...and then I began to
laugh. It was deep gasping yet genuine laughter filled with
relief and joy.
I had to rock the beast to roll out from under it, then pulled
my arm out from its lifeless jaws. It was a beauty, a large
female probably has cubs somewhere hence why it was hunting the
domestic animals of the village, that too made it dangerous as
it fought to protect its young. Standing I turned to you
wrapping my arms about you hugging you kissing you as I held you
close..."you have not lost your touch, you are still swift and
true with you bow My love, thank you for keeping me from harms
way"

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Closing the distance between
us I see you push the huge beast off you and retrieve your arm
from its mouth , thankfully it was intact as my eyes scan to see
your digits are still all there , the sound of your laughter
bellowing out was enough to send the birds in flight from the
treetops , and then to your feet you were and embraced in your
arms I was , our lips melding together fitting perfectly just as
we do in every endeavour we undertake ,speckles of blood covered
my cloak and skirt from your arms but that mattered not , we
were One" never thanks needed my beloved for we are a team "

says to Sereem Diamond.|| Soraya: letting you go "indeed we are
a team, a formidable one at that" turning now I began to skin
the beast, it was a fur that could not be left to rot up here on
the mountains. I thought that once I had sorted it out and
worked on it ensuring that it was clean and dried you would get
the pelt nice and soft and find a use for it. What I needed to
do now was get the fur off and back down the mountain where you
can see to my lacerations on my arms, fortunately they were not
serious and just needed stitches. I would come back on my own to
look for the cubs perhaps we can breed them in captivity or sell
them to someone that would. Making the last cuts as I peeled the
skin from the muscle then wrapping it so that it will be easier
to carry back strapping it up and slinging it over my back then
turning to you, "its time we headed back before dark, we will
leave the carcass here for the animals to feed on" searching for
my bow and quiver I found it picking them up and began to head
back to the path beside the stream walking behind you now while
you walked ahead "you lead the way My love"

says to Let all who oppose my Ho: Watches you skin the beast
with precision , I noted the cuts upon your arm and knew they
needed cleaning and possible stitching ,the wild animals would
indeed have a feast this night thanks to us , a soft laugh rose
from my throat, looking down at my clothing I needed a bath and
clean clothes and darkness would be here soon as you had
indicated , walking in front of you listening to your words
about the cubs and possibly finding and selling them sounded a
profitable venture ,garnet would have her work set out for her
this night attending to our blood stained clothing and the pelt
, I know she will do it well or else I will beat her , yes a
beating for garnet ,as my boots covered the uneven terrain.
