I closed my eyes and began to shake with laughter, seeing the joke on myself. - (Assassin of Gor, Chapter 20, Sentence #364)

"Would you not care," asked Cernus of the boy, "to inform the prisoner of your name?" The handsome boy looked down from the chair of Cernus on me. His lips parted irritably. "I am Scormus of Ar," he said. I closed my eyes and began to shake with laughter, seeing the joke on myself. And the others, too, those with Cernus, laughed, until the room roared with their mirth. My champion was Hup, a Fool, that of Cernus was the brilliant, fiery, competitive Scormus of Ar, the young, phenomenal Scormus, who played first board of the city of Ar and held the highest bridge in the city as the province of his game, the master not only of the Players of Ar but doubtless of Gor as well; four times he had won the cap of gold at the Sardar Fairs; never had he entered a tournament he had not won; there was no Player on Gor who did not acknowledge him his master; the records of his games were hungered for throughout all the cities of Gor; his strategy was marked with a native and powerful subtlety, a profundity and brilliance that had made him, even in his youth, a legend in the harsh cities of Gor; it was little wonder that even Cernus himself stood in awe of this imperious youth. Suddenly Sura cried out. - (Assassin of Gor)
