Making a start.

HOUSE OF DESPOILER


is uopn the path and says to ALL: -it was geeting on but Olaf and the man came up from the guard house with the tools to get started, they began at the house and dragged the light snow and pebble up, yanking weeds and undergrowth as they went...it was not going to be a quick easy task by any means and they started to fill the carts with the pebbles and muttering about the time...I turned as I heard this and was greeted with quick smiles and nods of respect..it was then I looked up and noticed the weather calling in some- Olaf!! -I called finish up that cart load and call it a night -I shouted over- Aye Jarl -came the reply and they spoke in hushed tones knowing I had heard the mutter and clicked on to the time...they pulled the cart down toward the beach where the pebble and dirt would be cleaned and the pebble re used, tho the beack of pebble would have more than able stock to pave the entire lands-

-having awoke with a hangover of sorts from last nights drinking and trade talks I had washed and dressed and made My way to the fire....layla had been up and made fresh blackwine and it very much needed today, as I poured the hot brew in My mug I thought about getting back to work on that path....I stepped over to Petra cooing in Her play pen and leaned down kissing the top of Her head- tal My Lil Miss - I winked and lightly pinched at Her bicep- Ooooohh arn't We getting strong hey! -I laffed as she giggled that now gapped milk teeth smile and winked- Daddy has ta go work now ...but will be back and Mummy will be here to see to You Angel - and with that I moved off to the main path that leads from the beach Guard hut up past the meadow and feild to the house-


-I stepped out onto the path in the mid afteroon, clear and bright with the light fall of snow on the ground, it was not overly cold and I had My work wools on as I called down to Olaf and the Men to get the carts....They came up with the shovels and carts to the top of the path where the work had begun last night and all the Men, 6 in all , had blackwine brought out to them by layla and pia before We start with the digging-

is at one of the animal pens and says to ALL: -she paced back and forth pushing her head against the door, a loud growl vibrating as she swats at a passing slave trying to get out of the pen.-

-The path was the width of a short Man (6 feet) with an old rotting wooden border, that also would be needed to be taken up as I rolled the sleeves up on My green tunic and gripped a shovel and began to turf the pebbles, dirt, weeds and snow in one of the carts...a few on the men digging at either side and the others getting ready to take the carts down to the beach to wash the pebbles from the dirt to be reused later...it was slow going and it was not long before a soft sheen of sweat was in His brow,....the work woolen top soon put on the top rail of the house as they dug down to the grind (the grind being the layer of crushed shell, sand and small stones beneath the pebbled path), once the grind was reached and the cart full...The Men pushed off and headed down to the beach....no respite for the diggers, this was going to be a labour job as fresh empty carts call to be filled...the Men set off with a light hearted work song about raiding as We dig, keeping the sea shanty songs for further down, out of ear shot of the Jarla and the Lil Miss-

is at one of the animal pens and says to ALL: --she continued to pace her hackles raising finally a guard came and made his way to the door looking at her. he crouched down laughing asking her who was the idiot that stuck her in there. she whined and pushed her massive head hard against the pen again he reached up and undid the latch, her gaze narrowed to viperous slits just as the door started to open she rammed it with all nine hundred pounds behind her. the eighteen foot sleen raced out knocking the guard on nis rear causing him to roar with laughter.-

is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -I looked up and over to the field near the side of My house and roared with laffter, she was up and out. Seems she did not like her new little home and I lean on My spade taking a small rest to watch her bound across the field....it was then that I got an idea...the pebble was hard to dig out having been set for so long and worn in the path, the lifting was the easier part and He grinned- WARRIOR!!!! -He paused- HEEL!!! -I roared over the field and stepped forward so she could see Me-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -she knew that voice better than anything else, she was twirling around kicking her back feet enjoying the freedom from the pen, her ears pricked and she looked over, her head arched back as she yelped and rolled off the balls of her feet, six feet started digging into the snow as she lunged forward charging towards you.=


is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -I stepped forward and placed My hands on the top of My spade and told the Men to stand eachside of the path way, seen by the raised old wooden border....I let them know to have the shovels ready and a cart at either side of the path as I smiled at My sleen coming at full pace across the field-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -it took her no time and she was there leaping up just barely missing your side coming back down on all six feet to charged around you and finally come to a hault on your left side. she heeled lowering to the ground her haunches just off the ground trying to contain her excitement. her nose twitched back and forth taking in all the scents that filled the cold crisp air, her ears flicked back and forth as she listened to the sounds coming from every direction.-

is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -I laffed as I patted your huge head, hard to think when she was just a pup and now 18 feet long and a natural killer- good girl -I smiled and walked over to the path as I tugged your huge frame with Me and settled by the hard pebble path, I knelt down as the men watched Me and frowned- where is she warrior?? where is she gilr? -I said in a course hunt whisper and began to pull at the pebbles with My hands and looking under the place I had just dug up...I moved to the side and snapped My fingers twice pointing at the path- find her warrior.......RETRIEVE!!! SET! -and stood out the way of the path at the side-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -she followed as you moved along the path, her slinky side pressing against yours, her tail snapping fast back and forth from side to side. as you lowered her snout pressed to the ground she started to scent the pebbles, a soft whine spilled out as you talked to her. she didn't understand the words but she knew what you were doing. she started to dig at the path taking in the scent more, her hackles raised, her tail slowed her dark onyx jewel narrowed as she bared her razor sharp teeth. at the sound of your command she was off scenting the air and the ground racing out after the girl.-

is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -a few of the pebbles came up and got flciked back by your huge paws and the Men smiled...on the order I laffed as you bounded off as layla shrieked till Valhalla Men looked down to see wha the noise was...The men laffing too as the plan backfired and gave a welcome break from the work and layla was off running- stop running and come here layla -I said throught the laffter, warrior, quite simply, was too well trained to be tricked over a hunt and had snagged the girls scent from the pebble and snow and done her job- WARRIOR!! -I roared past My laffin fit- HEEL!! -I was bright red now about the face with laffter-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -The girl screetched and headed back begging you to call the sleen off. Hearing your words she growled and peered at you. she raced forward snapping at the slave girl's heels and then charged past her to once more circle around you and land back at your left side. she nuzzled into your side her head slinking down licked your cheek as she snuffed her snouth pressing into your ear.-


is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -I chuckled and locked My arm around ya neck and turn kissing ya nose- good girl -I wink and grip yer jowls and rub ya face, you were enormous now and could bowl Me over with ease, I still missed Our wrestling matches but you had gained so much and bite and pull at your ear before I let go and pat ya head...pulling out a large tarsk strip and tossing it in the air- HIT! -her reward always came after a job and she had done hers...I turned to layla and smiled- best get in the house mine -I looked back and Nyah was on the porch holding Petra, with a smile and shaking Her head at Me- will You just grown bigger but never grow up Mr MacBain? -She jested down the path and the Men chuickle- aye Love, bigger every day thats fer sure -I wink and get back to digging the path with the men, hookig up the pebble, dirt, weed and snow to the carts to be filled and sent once more down to the beach-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: -her jaws opened her head thrashed as you started to play with her, she was easier with you than almost anyone. Petra could crawl all over her and she never moved or batted and eye but anyone else other than you and they would be hurting for certain. she growled playfully pushing you over as she went for the tarsk strip. she watched as you started to dig. her long sleek body pressing into your leg as her nose went to the hole. she wondered what you were doing. there were so many scents coming from the ground, she pushed forward, her middle and front paws started digging to find the prize that must be in there.-


is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -I chuckled as the carts got filled and seeing you dig with Us all...the carts filling fast as We move down the path section by section I chuckle....regaining My balance at the 'gentle' nudge that would fell a Kassarian...The work was going well and I winked down at her, she would kill to protect Him and His and He would kill to protect His sleen, so many that had fallen in the forests back then...I looked up and could see Nyah walking down with the baby on Her right hip, she had pia with Her now, layla being held up in the house doing some cleaning and light repairs about the house.....His Nyah had gotten pia to bring a large kettle of blackwine, some breads with cheese for the Men.. I smile wide as I spot that My Nyah had a bucket in the other had, the meat scraps from last nights party for you...to the back of the porperty would be the crag that leads to the small forest, nothing like the Great Northan, but it was a forest in the middle of Island and a place for you to hunt the wild tarsk and things that you sought...and of course a place to go hunting...We settle down for a while and sit on back of the spades and chat as We eat and drink...looking at My FC as a slow smile of a Man content comes to bare...the job half done and this a welcome break for Us all-

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: ~she followed as you dug trying to discover really what we were doing she never did find anything just more interesting scents. she looked up as she heard the squeal of the baby and went racing off. she twirled in front of Nyah and Petra before walking around to the left side of Nyah. a soft growl spilled out as one of the men got too close trying to get the food. quickly she moved before Nyah protecting the baby, her nails digging into the ground as she growled daring him to touch the girl. The guys looked and waited for Nyah to put the food down they weren't going to test the sleen's resolve. as Nyah came towards you she followed but remained slightly behind making sure still the men didn't get too close. as the baby was placed down she lowered to her haunches and slowly began to inch forward towards the girl her head pressing to the dirt watching as she yapped softly.~



is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -The break over and the Men continued on with the work as I took the lead in the labour, the cheese and drink giving a new burst of life to the digging...I was almost at the beach now and My arms ached from the work but We had covered so much....I gave the order for the old boards to be ripped out from the sides of the path and replaced with the new baording, provided from the Dia Bosa House, from where I never asked and no intention of asking either....I looked back up the path and could see warrior sat next to Petra and Nyah, Petra tugging down on your ear and cooing as Nyah smiled and watched over you Both, it was hard to tell who was protecting who as I chuckled at My close nit Family, a Torvaldian family for sure...and all I had ever wanted but never dared to hope to have...the boards came out easy and most had rotted down but would be put to use as dried out fire wood, not for the house of Guests but would used for the guard huts, in the fire pits so the dark smoke from the wet wood would not bother anyone but still be used and waste nothing.....

is uopn the path and says to Joe MacBain Companion of: ~she rolled over on her side and whined again as the baby started to crawl on her, her ear being tugged she didn't move, her nails retracted and she remained perfectly though she was alert at the first sign of danger she would be up and attacking. her head arched looking at the pail of scraps, her stomach rumbled her tongue snaked out trying to lap at the bucket but it was just too far away.~


is uopn the path and says to lil warrior Joe MacBains: -The Men now were gettig carts of fresh pebble in the carts and tipping them over the new bared path to make it clear and well again....the fresh boards placed either side and washed down with a tar (like cresote) to preserve them...alll was going well and I looked over and laffed as Nyah smiled down and patted your side, lifting the baby off and tipping out the scraps, the only other Person on Gor that would or even could feed His sleen...as I placed the shovel in the cart and left the clear up and patting down to the Men it had been such a long hard day, with over a passang of path cleared up and re paved in pebble, it would take a few days to settle the pebbles as people walked over them...but it looked good and I was pleased with the job....I came over to near the steps of The House and sat on a cape in the snow, My back leaning on your ribs as you chew down and leaning up and kissing Nyah as I lean back again and take a large breath...I would need a bath...again and I had sort of gotten used to Nyah's odd Tuckuk way of dunking the body in water damn near every day-
