"I am Tarl Cabot of Ko-ro-ba," I said weakly, as though to assure myself of my own identity. |

10 |

I felt a sudden blow on my back and nearly lost my breath and twisted to see the gigantic, brawny Older Tarl, my former Master at Arms, who clapped me on the shoulders, his hands like the talons of tarns. |
10 |
| 34 | 10 |
I swept him off his feet and spun him around and the robes flew from his head and Torm of the Caste of Scribes cried aloud in joy and that sandy hair wheeled in the wind and tears ran sideways down his face and he never lost hold of the scroll although he nearly batted the Older Tarl with it in one ... |
10 |
| 34 | 15 |
"We do not know," said the Older Tarl, for my father could not bring himself to say the words. |
10 |
| 34 | 19 |
"We met here," said the Older Tarl, "and since it seemed the world would end we decided that we would stand together one last time—in spite of the will of Priest-Kings—that we would stand together one last time as men of Ko-ro-ba". |
10 |
| 34 | 27 |
He looked at the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 31 |
"I will tell everyone," said the Older Tarl kindly, "that you are the bravest of the Caste of Scribes". |
10 |
| 34 | 37 |
"Forgive me, Vika," I said, and introduced her to my father, to the Older Tarl and Torm, the Scribe, and explained as briefly as I could what had befallen us in the Sardar. |
10 |
| 34 | 38 |
My father, the Older Tarl and Torm listened amazed to my account of the truths of the Sardar. |
10 |
| 34 | 41 |
"And I," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 52 |
This time the Older Tarl lifted him up by the scruff of his robes and held him dangling, kicking, a foot from the ground. |
10 |
| 34 | 69 |
"And here, too, is Ko-ro-ba," I said, pointing to the proud giant, the Older Tarl, and the tiny, sandy-haired scribe, Torm. |
10 |
| 34 | 74 |
My father and the Older Tarl and Torm exchanged glances. |
10 |
| 34 | 94 |
"My father and Tarl, the Master-of-Arms, are two of the finest swords on Gor". |
10 |
| 34 | 126 |
"She was very beautiful," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 129 |
"But," said the Older Tarl, "you are a Warrior". |
10 |
| 34 | 134 |
The Older Tarl's eyes, like mine, ran the edge, and I saw that he approved. |
10 |
| 34 | 143 |
I told the Older Tarl and Torm to say good-bye to my father, as I did not trust myself to see him longer, for fear that I would not wish so soon to part from him again. |
10 |
| 34 | 150 |
The Older Tarl smiled. |
10 |
| 34 | 159 |
"Perhaps," said the Older Tarl, "she attempted to reach her father, Marlenus, in the Voltai". |
10 |
| 34 | 163 |
"That is true," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 166 |
"Do you wish me to accompany you?" asked the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 171 |
"Go with Tarl, the Master-of-Arms". |
10 |
| 34 | 175 |
"There will be many scrolls to examine and catalog when the city is rebuilt," observed the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 179 |
The Older Tarl roared with laughter and swept the little scribe under his arm. |
10 |
| 34 | 180 |
"I wish you well," said the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 187 |
I would miss him, and the Older Tarl. |
10 |
| 34 | 195 |
Had I not lived these things, did I not know whereof I speak, I ask myself if I—Tarl Cabot himself—would accept them, and I tell myself frankly, in all likelihood, No. |
