Vika

Book 3. (284 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
7 50 Lara's lips had been rich and fine, sensitive and curious, tender, eager, hungry; the lips of Vika were maddening; I recalled those lips, full and red, pouting, defiant, scornful, scarlet with a slave girl's challenge to my blood; I wondered if Vika might be a bred slave, a Passion Slave, one of tho...

8 199 Vika was a bandit princess, accustomed to be clad in silk and jewels from a thousand looted caravans, to sleep on the richest furs and sup on the most delicate viands, all purloined from galleys, beached and burnt, from the ravished storerooms of outlying, smoking cylinders, from the tables and trea...

7 21 Vika of course had worn a scarf and these girls did not, but now Vika no longer wore her scarf; now her collar, steel and gleaming, locked, encircling her fair throat, was as evident and beautiful as theirs, proclaiming her to the eyes of all, like them, only a slave girl.

8 1 Vika Leaves the Chamber "Wake up, Wench!" I cried, striding into Vika's chamber, clapping my hands sharply twice.
Details
10
23 1 I Find Vika I gathered that I had arrived too late to save Vika of Treve.
Details
10
26 1 The Safekeeping of Vika of Treve It was hard to believe that the gentle, obedient girl who nestled in my arms, who had so leaped and sobbed with pleasure, was the proud Vika of Treve.
Details
10
5 1 Vika I awakened to the soothing touch of a small sponge that bathed my forehead.
Details
10
5 28 "I am Vika," she responded, "your slave".
Details
10
5 143 "Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" People had strange reasons for entering the Sardar, but the reas...

10
5 175 Vika flinched.
Details
10
5 191 Vika glared at me sullenly.
Details
10
5 207 Vika's life, in its way, had been hard, and I wished her no harm.
Details
10
5 246 Vika, in spite of her nine years of captivity, her confinement in this chamber, was still a headstrong, spoiled, arrogant girl, and one fully aware of her yet unconquered flesh, and the sinuous power which her beauty might exercise over men, its capacity to torture them and drive them wild, to bend ...
Details
10
5 266 "Well, Vika," I said, "I think I am now ready to make use of you".
Details
10
5 282 Almost instantly, reddening, Vika regained her composure and straightened herself, tossing her head and brushing back a melody of blond hair which had fallen across her forehead.
Details
10
6 1 When Priest-Kings Walk Vika could cook well and I enjoyed the meal she prepared.
Details
10
6 3 At my command Vika demonstrated for me the manner of opening and closing the storage and disposal areas in her unusual kitchen.
Details
10
6 9 The food which Vika withdrew from the storage apertures was not refrigerated but was protected by something resembling a foil of blue plastic.
Details
10
6 14 Vika seared this meat, as thick as the forearm of a warrior, on a small iron grill over a kindling of charcoal cylinders, so that the thin margin of the outside was black, crisp and flaky and sealed within by the touch of the fire was the blood-rich flesh, hot and fat with juice.
Details
10
6 24 I was sure that if these were available Vika would have set them before me.
Details
10
6 34 The position of the Tower Slave, in which Vika knelt, differs from that of a free woman only in the position of the wrists which are held before her and, when not occupied, crossed as though for binding.
Details
10
6 47 "Why is there nothing but water to drink?" I asked Vika.
Details
10
6 86 Vika would go hungry that night.
Details
10
6 94 Vika had unrolled a straw mat which she placed on the floor at the foot of the great stone couch in the chamber.
Details
10
6 98 "You are not going to leave the chamber, are you?" asked Vika, the first words she had said to me since the meal.
Details
10
6 125 Vika smiled up at me.
Details
10
6 137 Then came the second rumbling stroke of the distant gong, and Vika seemed to tremble in my arms.
Details
10
7 1 I Hunt for Priest-Kings In spite of Vika's protests it was with a light heart that I strode into the passageway beyond her chamber.
Details
10
7 19 Two, however, housed Chamber Slaves, girls like Vika, clad and collared identically.
Details
10
7 26 When she approached the portal its sensors began to glow and pulse as had Vika's.
Details
10
7 36 Both of the girls had in their way been beautiful but I found Vika superior to both.
Details
10
7 44 I found it difficult to remove from my mind the image of the two Chamber Slaves, and that of Vika, perhaps because the plight of these girls touched my heart, perhaps because each, though differently, was beautiful.
Details
10
7 45 I found myself congratulating myself that I had been taken to the chamber of Vika, for I had thought her the most beautiful.
Details
10
7 47 It occurred to me that Vika, in some ways, resembled Lara, who was Tatrix of Tharna, for whom I had cared.
Details
10
7 49 Vika's eyes were a sullen, smoldering, taunting blue; the blue of Lara's eyes had been brighter, as clear and, when not impassioned, as soft as the summer sky over Ko-ro-ba; when impassioned they had burned as fiercely, as beautifully, as helplessly as the walls of a raped city.
Details
10
7 51 And as I pondered these things I sensed that it had not been an accident that I had been carried to Vika's chamber but that this had been part of a plan by the Priest-Kings.
Details
10
7 52 I had sensed that Vika had defeated and broken many men, and I sensed that the Priest-Kings might be curious to see how I might fare with her.
Details
10
7 53 I wondered if Vika herself had been instructed by Priest-Kings to subdue me.
Details
10
7 56 Vika would be all unconscious of their machinations; she would simply be herself, which is what the Priest-Kings would desire.
Details
10
7 57 She would simply be Vika, insolent, aloof, contemptuous, provocative, untamed though collared, determined to be the master though she were the slave.
Details
10
7 68 I decided to return to Vika's chamber.
Details
10
7 71 * * * * I set out on my way back to Vika's chamber.
Details
10
7 106 I remembered Vika's words: "When the Priest-Kings wish you, they will come for you".
Details
10
7 120 I resheathed my sword and returned to Vika's chamber.
Details
10
8 18 "Vika," I said, "I think it is time that some changes were made around here".
Details
10
8 33 Vika watched me, puzzled, surely convinced that I must have lost my mind.
Details
10
8 36 "What?" whispered Vika.
Details
10
8 38 "But how?" "By their power," said Vika, moving back to the wall.
Details
10
8 50 Vika screamed and crouched behind the stone platform.
Details
10
8 52 "Come here," I said to Vika, but the poor girl cringed beside the platform.
Details
10
8 66 Vika trembled against me and in my joy with my fist still in her hair I bent my face to hers and kissed her full on those magnificent lips and she cried out helpless in my arms and wept but did not resist.
Details
10
8 71 "Vika," I cried, "would you like to leave this room?" "Of course," she said.
Details
10
8 79 "Stop!" cried Vika, in terror.
Details
10
8 86 Vika knelt beside the couch numbly.
Details
10
8 97 So Vika was from Treve.
Details
10
8 103 Vika returned with the towel and began dabbing at my face.
Details
10
8 105 I supposed Vika would have been costly had I purchased her in Ar or Ko-ro-ba.
Details
10
8 117 "Does it hurt?" asked Vika.
Details
10
8 120 I wondered if many of Treve's women were as beautiful as Vika.
Details
10
8 154 "How do the people of Treve live?" I asked Vika.
Details
10
8 161 "Yes," said Vika.
Details
10
8 163 "Yes," said Vika.
Details
10
8 169 And it was the city from which Vika had come.
Details
10
8 181 "Their slaves can," said Vika.
Details
10
8 185 "Vika," I asked, "was your father truly of the Caste of Physicians?" "Yes," she said, "why do you ask?" "It does not matter," I said.
Details
10
8 193 And then she seemed to straighten and turned to face me, once again the old and scornful Vika, challenging, hostile.
Details
10
8 200 Vika was now property.
Details
10
8 218 "Vika," I said, "come here and take the hand of a fool".
Details
10
8 231 Vika took another step and then it seemed her legs would fail her and she might swoon.
Details
10
8 239 Vika had said that when they wished me, they would come for me.
Details
10
8 242 I gently placed Vika on the great stone couch.
Details
10
9 1 The Priest-King I would allow Vika to share the great stone couch, its sleeping pelts, and silken sheets.
Details
10
9 21 I had placed Vika gently on the great stone couch.
Details
10
9 44 Vika looked at me strangely.
Details
10
9 49 "It doesn't matter," said Vika, "for she was only an animal bred in the pens of Ar".
Details
10
9 51 "She was a bred slave," said Vika.
Details
10
9 53 "But my father," said Vika, "whose slave she was, and who was of the Caste of Physicians of Treve, loved her very much and asked her to be his Free Companion".
Details
10
9 54 Vika laughed softly.
Details
10
9 57 "Because she loved him," said Vika, "and did not wish him to take for his Free Companion only a lowly Passion Slave".
Details
10
9 59 Vika made a gesture of disgust.
Details
10
9 62 "But in the end," said Vika, "fearing he would slay himself she consented to become his Free Companion".
Details
10
9 63 Vika regarded me closely.
Details
10
9 70 "How could that be?" laughed Vika scornfully.
Details
10
9 73 "I know what she was," said Vika.
Details
10
9 80 "Yes," said Vika, "I suppose so—but he was a fool".
Details
10
9 91 "Why would anyone be kind to a Passion Slave?" asked Vika.
Details
10
9 95 "I don't understand," said Vika.
Details
10
9 97 "Perhaps," said Vika.
Details
10
9 99 "I wonder," said Vika.
Details
10
9 101 "What became of him," I asked, "when he entered the Sardar?" Vika would not speak.
Details
10
9 108 "How is it," I asked, "that he allowed you to come to the Sardar?" "He did not," said Vika.
Details
10
9 122 "Perhaps," said Vika.
Details
10
9 127 Vika lay back on the silks and furs.
Details
10
9 140 "Who was she?" asked Vika, not too pleasantly.
Details
10
9 142 "Was she beautiful?" asked Vika.
Details
10
9 144 "As beautiful as I?" asked Vika.
Details
10
9 146 "Was she a slave?" asked Vika.
Details
10
9 148 Rage transfigured Vika's features and she leaped from the couch and strode to the side of the room, her fingers angrily inside her collar, as though they might pull it from her throat.
Details
10
9 151 "Where is she?" demanded Vika.
Details
10
9 153 "How long has it been since you have seen her?" demanded Vika.
Details
10
9 155 Vika laughed cruelly.
Details
10
9 164 I turned to face Vika once more, and I no longer saw the girl to whom I had been speaking but a woman of High Caste, from the bandit kingdom of Treve, insolent and imperious, though collared.
Details
10
9 165 Casually Vika reached to the clasp on the left shoulder of her garment and loosened it, and the garment fell to her ankles.
Details
10
9 199 In that moment I sensed once more that slightly acrid scent which I had experienced in the corridors beyond the chamber, and I pressed my mouth hard into Vika's until her lips were cut by my teeth and I had pressed her back until only my arm kept her from falling to the stones of the floor, and I he...
Details
10
9 204 Vika crouched terrified on the slave mat at the foot of the couch, in the very shadow of the slave ring.
Details
10
9 217 Vika lay at my feet, a streak of blood at the corner of those lips that bore still the marks of my fierce kiss.
Details
10
9 229 I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear.
Details
10
9 256 I looked once more at Vika, who lifted her hand to me.
Details
10
9 267 I hated Vika.
Details
10
16 163 "Was the fact that I was placed in the chamber of the girl Vika of Treve considered?" "Sarm suspects," said Misk, "and it was he who arranged your quarters, in order that you might succumb to her charms, that she might enthrall you, that she might bend you helplessly, pliantly to her will and whim a...
Details
10
16 166 My old hatred of Vika now began once again to infuse my blood, and my hands ached to grip her and shake her until her bones might break and then throw her to my feet.
Details
10
17 4 In fevered sleep it seemed I saw Sarm's great head with its powerful, laterally moving jaws hovering over me, that I heard the cry of larls and saw the burning pupils of Parp's eyes and his reaching toward me with instruments and a golden net, and I found myself chained to the foot of Vika's couch a...
Details
10
18 151 I allowed him also to suppose that I suspected—but not that I knew—of his plot, for I had you placed in the chamber of Vika of Treve, and it was there he proved his guilt beyond doubt by rushing to protect you".
Details
10
18 153 "The girl Vika of Treve has never failed me," said Sarm.
Details
10
18 166 "And supposing I had agreed to do your bidding, what would have been my reward for all this?" "Vika of Treve," said Sarm.
Details
10
18 168 "Not so pleasant for Vika of Treve," I said.
Details
10
18 170 I thought of Vika and of the hatred I bore her.
Details
10
19 80 "Vika of Treve?" "Of course".
Details
10
19 97 "In the accomplishing of this matter you do a great service to the Nest and to Priest-Kings, and thereby will you gain great glory for yourself and a life of honor and riches, the first of which will be the slave girl Vika of Treve".
Details
10
20 6 "Not the least of which, we are requested to point out," said Mul-Ba-Ta, "is the enjoyment of the female Mul Vika of Treve".
Details
10
20 152 708 had been the number of Vika's collar.
Details
10
20 154 What did this mean? "That was the collar number of Vika of Treve," I said.
Details
10
20 158 "It means," said Mul-Al-Ka, "that Vika of Treve no longer exists".
Details
10
20 159 I suddenly felt as though a hammer had struck me, for though I hated Vika of Treve I would not have wished her dead.
Details
10
20 182 "No," said Mul-Al-Ka, "we are simply to tell you that Vika of Treve awaits you in the tunnels of the Golden Beetle".
Details
10
20 192 I smiled to myself, for I thought how incredible that I should find myself naturally and without a second thought considering going to the rescue of the worthless, vicious wench, Vika of Treve.
Details
10
22 123 "The girl Vika of Treve lies in the tunnels of the Golden Beetle," I said.
Details
10
23 9 I wondered if the removal of the collar meant that Vika had been freed before being closed within the tunnels of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
23 15 How long Vika had been dead I had no way of judging, though I cursed myself for it would not have appeared to be a matter of more than a few hours.
Details
10
23 20 Yet I myself I knew would have preferred to see the assailant and so I found myself wishing that this brief, terrible privilege had been Vika of Treve's, for I remembered her as a woman of courage and pride.
Details
10
23 25 Though I had hated Vika of Treve I would not have wanted this fate to be hers, nor could I believe that any man, even those whom she had injured, could have wished it to be so.
Details
10
23 30 "I am sorry," I said, "I am sorry, Vika of Treve".
Details
10
23 44 I turned my back on Vika of Treve and, carrying the torch, left the cavern.
Details
10
23 51 As I wandered through these passages my sorrow for Vika of Treve struggled with my hatred for the Golden Beetle until I forced myself to clear my head of emotion and concentrate on the task at hand.
Details
10
23 52 But still, as the Mul-Torch burned lower and I yet encountered no sign of the Golden Beetle, my thoughts turned ever and again to the still form of Vika lying in the cavern of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
23 61 "Forgive me, Vika of Treve!" I cried.
Details
10
24 11 Most I feared for the safety of Vika of Treve.
Details
10
24 31 I slipped my sword into its sheath and knelt beside Vika's body, not taking my eyes off the creature who stood about four yards distant.
Details
10
24 38 With my right hand I lifted Vika to my shoulder and stood up.
Details
10
24 40 Apparently the creature did not wish me to remove Vika from the cavern.
Details
10
24 41 Walking backwards, Vika on my shoulder, the Mul-Torch in my hand, I slowly retreated from the cavern of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
24 42 When the creature, following me, crawled over the pile of soiled moss and stems on which Vika had lain, it stopped and began to poke about among the shattered remains of the eggs I had crushed.
Details
10
24 45 About an Ehn after I had turned and began to move away from the cavern, Vika on my shoulder, I heard from the cavern one of the strangest and most horrifying sounds I had ever heard in my life, a long, weird, frantic, enraged rush of sound, more than a rush of air, more than a wild hiss, almost a cr...
Details
10
24 56 I set Vika down.
Details
10
24 61 How was it then, I asked myself, that such a slow, awkward, clumsy creature, no matter how formidable at close range, could capture and slay an organism as alert and swift as a Priest-King? I moved Vika's limbs and rubbed her hands to see if I could restore her circulation to a more normal level.
Details
10
25 14 My eyes fell on Vika of Treve.
Details
10
25 17 I wondered how proud Vika would have responded to that.
Details
10
25 31 I lifted the girl Vika of Treve in my arms.
Details
10
25 52 If this were not possible I would explore the tunnels seeking some other exit, and if worse came to worst, I was sure that Vika and I, now that I knew the dangers and strengths and weaknesses of the Golden Beetle, might manage to survive indefinitely in the tunnels, however despicably, and escape ev...
Details
10
25 55 The problem would be Vika.
Details
10
25 56 I could now feel a bit of fresh air and, in the darkness, Vika in my arms, I walked until I could feel it best, and it seemed to be blowing directly down upon me.
Details
10
25 57 I then set Vika to one side and prepared to leap up to seize the grille.
Details
10
25 74 I went to Vika's side.
Details
10
25 90 With the other thong I bound Vika's wrists securely together before her body and placed her arms about my neck and left shoulder.
Details
10
25 92 Once in the shaft I rebuckled the belt about my waist and, still carrying Vika as before, began to climb.
Details
10
25 94 I removed Vika's arms from my neck and shoulder and carried her in my arms down the shaft which led, to the best of my reckoning, in the general direction of the major complexes of the Nest.
Details
10
25 124 I heard a groan from Vika and I turned to face her.
Details
10
25 138 Now that Vika was recovering I suddenly became aware of the difficulties that might ensue.
Details
10
25 151 "Are you, Vika of Treve," I asked, "higher than she of whom you speak, the lowest tavern slave in Ar?" Her answer astounded me.
Details
10
25 159 I extended my hands to her and her eyes met mine, blue and beautiful and calm, and she lifted her bound wrists and placed them in my hands and kneeling before me lowered her head between her arms and said softly, very clearly, "I the girl Vika of Treve submit myself—completely—to the m...
Details
10
26 14 "You play your role well," I said, "and nearly was I fooled, Vika of Treve".
Details
10
26 22 At last I moved the corner of the large grille sufficiently to allow me to slip through to the floor beneath and then Vika followed me and I helped her to the floor.
Details
10
26 25 Vika was still crying a bit, but I took her hair and wiped her face and told her to stop her noise.
Details
10
26 32 I looked at Vika sternly.
Details
10
26 43 Vika looked at me with surprise.
Details
10
26 47 In a few moments, putting on something of an air of authority, I presented Vika to the Chief Attendant of the Vivarium.
Details
10
26 51 Vika, I was pleased to note, was considerably shaken by his appraisal, and I supposed it was the first time a man had ever looked upon her with disfavor.
Details
10
26 57 It was a most miserable and bewildered Vika of Treve whom I bundled into a small but comfortable plastic case on the fourth tier of the Vivarium.
Details
10
26 61 It must have been a great shock for Vika to see herself as she now was.
Details
10
26 81 "Or are you not yet done with me?" I would have responded, in spite of my better judgment, to reassure her of my intentions to free her as soon as practicable, and to tell her that I believed her greatest chance of safety lay in the anonymity of a specimen in the Vivarium, but it would have been foo...
Details
10
26 83 At these words Vika suddenly turned to face me, desperately, her back against the plastic side of the case, the palms of her hands against it.
Details
10
26 98 "No, no," said Vika.
Details
10
26 102 Vika fell to her hands and slumped to the floor moaning, unable to stand.
Details
10
26 104 Vika looked up at him dully as though she could not comprehend what he had said.
Details
10
26 108 Vika lowered her head to the floor again and moaned.
Details
10
26 125 Vika had now regained her feet and was wiping her eyes with her arm in one corner of the case.
Details
10
26 141 Vika looked at me with horror for a moment and then, to my astonishment, she laughed.
Details
10
26 152 "Have pity," she said, "if not on Vika of Treve—on a poor girl who is only your slave".
Details
10
26 165 Vika came up behind me and placed her arms around me.
Details
10
26 172 I stepped to the door and Vika, holding my arm, smiling and looking up into my eyes, accompanied me.
Details
10
26 180 "No," she said, "you can't—you simply can't leave me here, not Vika of Treve".
Details
10
26 197 Vika struggled to restrain her tears.
Details
10
26 206 I could not understand why this assertion of mine should have troubled one of Vika's proud and treacherous nature but she seemed somehow more hurt than if I had administered to her when she had knelt the blows of a slave whip or the lashings of my sword belt.
Details
10
26 213 Vika shook her head slowly and numbly looked about herself disbelievingly—at the mat, the jar of water, the canisters along the wall.
Details
10
26 215 This gesture seemed to shake Vika and her entire frame suddenly trembled with all the panic of a beautiful, trapped animal.
Details
10
26 225 Vika of Treve was my prisoner.
Details
10
26 229 "Good-bye, Vika of Treve," I said.
Details
10
26 240 It made me a bit sad to hear Vika recount the woes of female slavery.
Details
10
26 247 Vika dropped her head.
Details
10
26 248 "Every woman in her heart," said Vika, "wants to wear the chains of a man".
Details
10
26 250 Vika looked up and smiled.
Details
10
26 267 Yes, I said to myself, the words Vika spoke were perhaps not as strange as I had thought.
Details
10
26 276 I smiled at Vika's very natural correction of her mode of addressing me, for a slave girl is seldom permitted, at least publicly, to address her master by his name, only his title.
Details
10
26 280 Vika's eyes were worried and her hands moved as though she wanted to touch me through the plastic.
Details
10
26 292 Vika kissed the plastic opposite where my fingers had touched.
Details
10
26 298 "Yes," I said, "Vika of Treve—Slave Girl—you play your part well".
Details
10
27 22 My thoughts wandered to Vika in her own case, though hers, unlike mine, was her prison.
Details
10
27 27 Yes, the hours would be long and lonely for the caged, shorn Vika of Treve.
Details
10
27 175 It was, indeed, though shorter and more intense, the first odor-signal that had ever been addressed to me, only then it had come from Misk's translator in the chamber of Vika.

28 65 And there was, and in this case though it had been seared as if an attempt had been made to open it, I found Vika of Treve.
Details
10
28 86 The case, I said to myself, has taught Vika of Treve much.
Details
10
28 95 Vika's shoulders shook as she knelt before me, but she dared not raise her head to read her fate in my eyes.
Details
10
28 97 "I have returned for you, Vika of Treve—Slave Girl," I said sternly, "—to take you from the case".
Details
10
28 98 Slowly, her eyes radiant, her lips trembling, Vika lifted her head to me.
Details
10
28 107 "Very well, Cabot, my Master," said Vika.
Details
10
28 108 As I looked into the eyes of Vika I saw there the tears of relief and gratitude but I saw too the tears of another emotion, infinitely tender and vulnerable, which I could not read.
Details
10
28 122 It was no longer in my heart to be cruel to Vika of Treve, no matter who or what she might be.
Details
10
28 124 I turned and left the case and Vika, as was proper, fell into step happily two paces behind me.
Details
10
28 126 Al-Ka closely scrutinized Vika.
Details
10
28 137 I held Vika in my arms.
Details
10
29 25 It was Vika! I rushed to her side.
Details
10
29 27 Vika took the cloth from his wound and, ripping it and using a small steel bar from the sheared wall, quickly fashioned a tourniquet, wrapping it securely about the remains of the man's arm.
Details
10
29 39 Had it truly been Vika of Treve? I raced to the workshop of Misk and flung open the double doors and leaped into the ship and secured the hatch, and in a moment it seemed the floor dropped a foot beneath me and the doors rushed forward.
Details
10
30 87 I should not have been surprised, but I was, when the first deserter from the forces of Misk proved to be the treacherous Vika of Treve.
Details
10
30 94 The woman who stood over me with the whip, the woman clad in the most marvelous array of the most beautiful silks, wearing golden sandals and purple gloves, was Vika of Treve.
Details
10
30 109 Vika threw him a glance of impatience, almost of contempt, and shrugged.
Details
10
30 114 "You will pay as only I, Vika of Treve, know how to make a man pay".
Details
10
30 115 I myself was pleased that it had taken a Priest-King to have me chained at Vika's feet, that it had not been I myself who, in the hope of her favors, had fastened about my own throat the collar of a slave.
Details
10
30 116 Vika turned with a swirl of her robes and left the headquarters chamber.
Details
10
30 120 Though my body burned from the whip, I was more hurt by the thought of Vika, surprisingly perhaps, hurt by the thought that I had known who and what she was all along, though somewhere in my heart I had always hoped I was wrong.
Details
10
30 165 I learned from conversation in the headquarters room that not many of the humans who fought with Misk's forces had responded to the blandishments of Sarm, though some, like Vika of Treve, had deserted to cast their fortune with what appeared to be the winning side.
Details
10
30 170 Vika would come to torment me each day but no longer was she permitted to whip me.
Details
10
30 174 Sarm, who was normally in the room, seemed to take great pleasure in Vika's baiting me, for he would stand by, antennae curling, as she would insult me, taunt me, sometimes strike me with her small fist.
Details
10
30 177 For some reason Vika's attentions to Sarm irritated me and undoubtedly I failed to conceal this sufficiently because Sarm often required this task of her in my presence and, I noted with fury, she seemed invariably delighted to comply with his request.
Details
10
30 183 Let her think over that, I said to myself, think over that—Vika of Treve—Pet Mul! I found myself wanting to take her body in my arms and shatter it to my breast, forcing back her head, taking her lips in the kiss of a master as though I once more owned her.
Details
10
30 209 "No," cried Vika, who had been standing in the background, "he is mine!" "Do not fear, Little Mul," said Sarm.
Details
10
31 6 But I knew that Sarm had no intention of keeping his part of the bargain, and that he intended to slay Misk, destroying hopefully thereby the effective leadership of the opposition, and then either keep me as a slave for Vika or, more likely, killing me as well, even though that might disappoint the...
Details
10
31 11 To my surprise his pet Mul, Vika of Treve, demanded to accompany her golden master.
Details
10
31 14 "I wish to see my Master triumph!" she begged, and that argument seemed to sway golden Sarm, and Vika found herself a member of our party.
Details
10
31 16 Vika walked at his side.
Details
10
31 37 "No," cried Vika, "I discharged it this morning!" The girl ran to my side in a swirl of many-colored silks and from beneath the Robes of Concealment she withdrew my sword and kneeling at my side lowered her head and placed it in my hand.
Details
10
31 40 "Rise," I said, "Vika of Treve—you are now a free woman".
Details
10
31 42 "I came to see my Master triumph!" cried Vika of Treve, her voice thrilled with emotion.
Details
10
31 48 Vika was in my arms weeping.
Details
10
31 90 "And what," laughed Vika of Treve, "is to be my fate?" "You are free," I reminded her.
Details
10
32 5 I heard the choking of a girl next to me and put my arm about the shoulders of Vika of Treve.
Details
10
32 15 I swept Vika up and carried her from the trembling chamber and we were accompanied by hurrying Priest-Kings and those humans who had accompanied them.
Details
10
32 22 I thrust Vika behind me and leaped over the rubble, running to Misk's side.
Details
10
32 28 Misk, carrying Sarm, and the other Priest-Kings and humans, including Vika and myself, made our way from the Power Plant and back toward the complex which had been the heart of Sarm's territory.
Details
10
32 39 "Look!" cried Vika pointing upward.
Details
10
32 48 "How beautiful it is!" cried Vika.
Details
10
32 60 "Where will you choose to die?" I asked Vika of Treve.
Details
10
32 74 Vika looked up at me.
Details
10
32 78 "Very well," said Vika, putting her head against my shoulder.
Details
10
32 91 Drifting dust obscured the complex and I drew the folds of Vika's robes more about her face that she might be better protected.
Details
10
32 131 Vika screamed and I pressed her more tightly against me.
Details
10
32 180 With a cry of joy I rushed upon the Beetle and Vika and Al-Ka and Ba-Ta and their women joined me and together, kicking and pushing, avoiding the tubular jaws, hurling rocks, we forced away the globe of the Golden Beetle.
Details
10
32 194 Vika and I were left alone in the crumbling complex.
Details
10
32 196 I seized Vika, sweeping her into my arms, and fled from the chamber.
Details
10
32 200 Vika had fainted in my arms.
Details
10
32 216 Vika still lay unconscious in my arms and I had folded her robes about her in order to protect her face and eyes and throat from the rock dust below.
Details
10
32 226 He lifted aside the fold of Vika's robes which I had drawn about her face.
Details
10
32 276 "Did you know," he asked, "that Vika was the female Mul who drove away the Golden Beetles when Sarm sent them against the forces of Misk?" "No," I said, "I did not know".
Details
10
32 283 Vika stirred in my arms.
Details
10
32 294 Vika in my arms I followed the bounding body of Parp, whose robes seemed to lift and flutter softly about him as he almost floated down the tunnel before me.
Details
10
32 308 Vika's hand went to the folds of the robe and I could feel her squirm to regain her feet.
Details
10
32 311 Vika now stood on her feet, a bit behind me, taking in at a glance the jammed door and the two unchained larls without.
Details
10
32 332 "Good," said Parp, not flinching, "follow me!" Vika screamed and I cried out for him to stop, but Parp dashed forward and threw himself into the jaws of the startled larl and it lifted him in its jaws and began to shake him savagely, and I was at its feet and thrust my sword between its ribs, plungi...
Details
10
32 334 Vika rushed upon it weeping.
Details
10
32 336 I went to stand behind Vika.
Details
10
33 1 Out of the Sardar Vika and I, clad in robes cut from the pelt of the snow larl I had slain, set out for the great black gate in the somber timber palisade that encircles the Sardar.
Details
10
33 3 Whereas it had taken four days for me to climb to the lair of Priest-Kings in the Sardar it was on the morning of the second day that Vika and I sighted the remains of the great gate, fallen, and the palisade, now little more than broken and uprooted timbers.
Details
10
33 4 The speed of our return journey was not due primarily to the fact that we were now on the whole descending, though this helped, but rather to the gravitational reduction which made it possible for me, Vika in my arms, to move with a swift disregard for what, under more normal conditions, would have ...
Details
10
33 8 "It is the end, Cabot," said Vika.
Details
10
33 11 From where Vika and I stood together on the rocky trail, now scarcely able to keep our feet on the path, we could see vast crowds, robed in all the caste colors of Gor, clustered outside the remains of the palisade, looking fearfully within.
Details
10
33 15 I swept Vika again to my arms and, half walking, half floating, made my way downward toward the ruins of the gate.
Details
10
33 17 It suddenly seemed to me that Vika was a bit heavier than she had been and I told myself that I must be tiring.
Details
10
33 18 I descended with Vika from the trail and, as I floated down to the bottom of a small crevice between the trail and the gate, the bottoms of my sandals stung when I hit the rock.
Details
10
33 28 "What is it, Cabot?" cried Vika.
Details
10
33 31 As soon as I reached the gate I placed Vika on her feet.
Details
10
33 42 There were men in that crowd from Ar, from Thentis, from Tharna, recognized by the two yellow cords in their belt; from Port Kar; from Tor, Cos, Tyros; perhaps from Treve, Vika's home city; perhaps even from fallen, vanished Ko-ro-ba; and the men in that crowd were of all castes, and even of castes ...
Details
10
33 107 "But it is not true," cried Vika.
Details
10
33 110 I cautioned Vika to silence.
Details
10
33 131 Sensing that he wished to speak to me, I asked Vika to withdraw somewhat, and she did so.
Details
10
33 161 I extended my hand to Vika and she joined me.
Details
10
33 167 They parted, and Vika and I walked between them, and through the ruined gate and palisade which had once encircled the Sardar.
Details
10
34 12 Vika, as I scarcely noted, stepped back when I had said this.
Details
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.
Details
10
34 79 I felt Vika's hand on my arm.
Details
10
34 91 "There is nothing for me," said Vika.
Details
10
34 99 "I shall return to Treve," said Vika.
Details
10
34 116 "Few," I said, "would be worthy of Vika of Treve".
Details
10
34 119 "Cabot!" cried Vika and broke away from him and hurled herself into my arms weeping.
Details
10
34 123 "And I," I said, "wish you well, Vika, my girl of Treve".
