Earth and Gor, I knew, shared the third ring. |
10 |

"For some thousands of years they have, except for continual probes, usually tests to prove the sex of their Dominants, remained beyond the fifth ring. |
10 |

"It is within the fifth ring," pointed out Misk. |
10 |

"And this," I said, "provides even greater security," lifting her to the foot of the couch, sitting her down there and snapping the heavy chain and collar, attached to the slave ring fixed there, about her throat. |
10 |
| 5 | 730 |
She lay there on the stones, half-stripped, turned away, bound hand and foot, her throat fastened to the slave ring by the heavy collar and chain. |
10 |
| 6 | 17 |
The two men then returned to opposite corners of the ring and crouched down, waiting for the command to fight again. |
10 |
| 6 | 96 |
She had been quite angry, kneeling there bound hand and foot, fastened to the slave ring by chain and collar, while I trotted off to have dinner with the master of the house. |
10 |

Then, using the one-strap on the basket ring, Cernus signaled the tarn. |
10 |
| 8 | 22 |
"It seems you must spend another night bound at the slave ring," I announced. |
10 |
| 8 | 65 |
"It seems," I said, "the little Tuchuk slave girl will again wear her nose ring". |
10 |
| 8 | 69 |
"This time," I said, "it will probably not hurt much to affix the ring". |
10 |
| 8 | 193 |
I saw that she now wore in her nose the tiny, fine golden ring of the Tuchuk woman. |
10 |
| 10 | 91 |
One of the slave girls spilled wine and was fastened to a slave ring, stripped and beaten. |

The tarn, screaming, its wing useless, tumbled uncontrollably from the edge of the large, open, padded ring suspended over the net on the track, plunging into the net, its rider cutting the safety straps and leaping from its back in order that he not be slain beneath the bird struggling in the net. |
10 |
| 12 | 14 |
Already the birds had turned the twelve-ring track and were again approaching. |
10 |
| 12 | 32 |
Across the track, on the far side, I heard a judge's bar clang indicating that one of the birds had missed a ring, and a colored disk, silver, was hauled to the top of a pole. |
10 |
| 12 | 34 |
The rider was wheeling the bird, trying to bring it under control, and returning to the ring. |
10 |
| 12 | 86 |
I heard the judge's bar ring three times and I could now see the tarns coming forth. |
10 |
| 12 | 149 |
They were fastened together on a common chain, each by wrist rings, each by both wrists, each ring separated by about a yard of chain. |
10 |
| 12 | 158 |
I heard the judge's bar ring twice, informing the crowd that the next race would begin in ten Ehn. |
10 |
| 13 | 325 |
Suddenly with a snap of its wings I could hear more than two hundred yards away the tarn exploded from the perch, Mip low on its back, and streaked toward the first "ring," the first of three huge metal rectangles, before the round "rings" mounted at the corners and at the end of the dividing wall. |
10 |
| 14 | 3 |
When I returned to our compartment I found Elizabeth sleeping on a mat, wrapped in a rep-cloth blanket, under the slave ring. |
10 |
| 14 | 20 |
She had had the temerity to suggest that such chores be shared but, when threatened with thong and slave ring, she had irritably understood that she must conform to my wishes. |
10 |
| 14 | 23 |
I released Elizabeth from the slave ring, the chain and collar. |
10 |

The great bars suspended about the walls of the city then ring out for more than an Ahn with their din, and the doors of the city burst open and the people crowd out onto the bridges, clad in the splendor of their finest, singing and laughing. |

Some startled slaves leaped up, each chained by one ankle to her ring; but most slept, drunk; one or two, too drunk to notice me, were sitting against the wall, their left ankles chained to their slave rings, a bottle of Ka-la-na in their grasp, their hair falling forward. |
10 |

"Thank you, Master," said she, smiling, going back to her ring. |
10 |

Each of his limbs, and his throat, was separately confined, each chained individually to the wall, each chain running to a separate ring bolted in the stone; any one of the chains would have been sufficient to hold a man; I gathered that this prisoner must be unusual indeed; I observed, further, tha... |

10 |

Imagine her, noble men of Ar, chained to your slave ring! She alone is worth five hundred pieces of gold!" The crowd roared its approval and the auctioneer dropped his hand and stepped back, perhaps as surprised as any in that room. |
10 |
| 19 | 404 |
"Would it not be worth five hundred gold pieces," asked Elizabeth, "to put your leash on this one and lead her home, to teach her the worth of a man of Ar, if worth they have, and then send her weeping and aching to the kettles of the kitchen until she begs to sleep beneath your slave ring?" There w... |

10 |

I had heard the ring of steel. |
10 |

The man turned and attacked and I laughed suddenly with the thrill of the steel, the flashing ring of work upon the Warrior's anvil. |
10 |

"Silence!" roared Murmillius and, obediently, we fought in silence, save for the crying of men, our breathing, the sparkling ring of blades tempered by wine and fire. |

This time, on the center side ring, a nonfaction tarn was forced into the padded bar by a sudden swerve of Menicius of Port Kar, riding for the Yellows. |
10 |
| 22 | 132 |
I noted that Mip had been following Menicius, and when Menicius had swerved Mip had taken advantage of the opening thus presented and, like a knife, had plunged for the heart of the ring. |
10 |
| 22 | 133 |
The bird that had struck the ring was tumbling stunned into the net. |
10 |
| 22 | 134 |
The great heavy ring was swinging on its chains. |
10 |
| 22 | 180 |
Mip was clearing the center ring of the end rings when the heavy leather-wrapped cable of the crossbow sprang forward and the quarrel hissed from the guide. |
10 |
| 22 | 246 |
He was dropped broken into the path of following tarns, torn, and fell again to the lower bar of the ring and then to the net. |
10 |

I heard the judge's bar ring three times, signaling the birds to their perches. |
10 |
| 22 | 427 |
I was certain their riders had had orders from the box of Cernus to see that I did not win; it would be difficult for a single tarn to block a ring, but two together might well manage; further, in not taking the lead immediately, which I believe I could have done, I hoped to postpone the entry into ... |

10 |

10 |
| 22 | 443 |
I heard a scream of horror from behind us as one rider, pressing another, forced him against the side of the edged ring. |
10 |
| 22 | 444 |
The wind racing against me, I shuddered, for striking such a ring edge, at the speed of the racing tarn, might well cut a man or bird in two. |
10 |
| 22 | 454 |
To my chagrin he met the move and again I passed through a ring following him. |
10 |
| 22 | 490 |
Then, to my horror, I saw that both the rider for the Reds and he for the Greens had wheeled their tarns and stood ready at the left center ring to block my passage. |
10 |

My tarn struck the other two and in a moment, tarn goads flashing, talons clutching, birds screaming and biting, we found ourselves as in a clenched, winged fist of fury, beating and turning before the left center ring. |
10 |

My tarn was locked, talon to talon, with a nonfaction bird; each was tearing at the other; the tarn goad of the rider struck me, almost blinding me with pain; for an instant my consciousness seemed nothing but a blinding shower of yellow, fiery needles; his tarn struck for me and I beat its beak awa... |

"On!" Ubar of the Skies, like black fire, burned past one ring and another. |
10 |

"Faster! Har-ta! Faster! Faster!" Then, approaching the last of the left side rings, Ubar of the Skies, striking for the heart of the ring, burst between the startled Red and Menicius, who led him by perhaps four yards. |
10 |

With a curse he jerked savagely at the control straps of Quarrel and that fine bird instantaneously responded and together Quarrel and Ubar of the Skies passed through the final ring; with a snap of his great wings Ubar of the Skies struck the winner's perch, seized it in his steel-shod talons and t... |

Had it been that his eye had glanced upon her and he had, by the prerogative of the Ubar, commanded her to his slave ring? But was this honor? My hatred for the Ubar of Ar, whom I had helped restore to his throne, welled up within me, volcanic, molten and black. |
