| 26 | 104 | What I shall find there I do not know. |
| 26 | 105 | For more than seven years I have wondered at the mysteries concealed in those dark recesses. |
| 26 | 106 | I have wondered about the priest-kings and their power, their ships and agents, their plans for their world and mine; but most importantly I must learn why my city was destroyed and its people scattered, why it is that no stone may stand upon another stone; and I must learn the fate of my friends, my father and of Talena, my love. |
| 26 | 107 | But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and towers, a city frowned upon by priest-kings, for I am a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba! I seek more than truth in the Sardar; I seek the blood of priest-kings! But how foolish it is to speak thus. |
| 26 | 108 | I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of priest-kings. |
| 26 | 109 | Who am I to challenge their power? I am nothing; not even a bit of dust, raised by the wind in a tiny fist of defiance; not even a blade of grass that cuts at the ankles of trampling gods. |
| 26 | 110 | Yet I, Tarl Cabot, shall go to the Sardar; I shall meet with priest-kings, and of them, though they be the gods of Gor, I shall demand an accounting. |

For more than seven years I have wondered at the mysteries concealed in those dark recesses.
I have wondered about the priest-kings and their power, their ships and agents, their plans for their world and mine; but most importantly I must learn why my city was destroyed and its people scattered, why it is that no stone may stand upon another stone; and I must learn the fate of my friends, my father and of Talena, my love.
But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and towers, a city frowned upon by priest-kings, for I am a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba! I seek more than truth in the Sardar; I seek the blood of priest-kings! But how foolish it is to speak thus.
I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of priest-kings.
Who am I to challenge their power? I am nothing; not even a bit of dust, raised by the wind in a tiny fist of defiance; not even a blade of grass that cuts at the ankles of trampling gods.
Yet I, Tarl Cabot, shall go to the Sardar; I shall meet with priest-kings, and of them, though they be the gods of Gor, I shall demand an accounting.
