[08:31]Druuna s sitting in the shade of the wheel of the wagon, reading one of her favorite books about buddhism
[08:31] Tolnus searches his daugther, he is disatisfied with her lately, she does not due her chores enough and is often dreaming. The daughter of the haruspex of the Paravaci unworthy
[08:39] Tolnus looks among the wagons "where are you lazy wench?"
[08:40] Druuna jumps as she hears her father's voice, stands and hides the book behind her back. " I am here, father "
[08:41] Tolnus hears her voice and goes around the wagon, searching his daughter, he often thinks what would become of her
[08:42] Tolnus "ah there you are, what have you been doing, hiding for the hard work a daughter of a haruspex is entitled to do"

[08:44] Druuna: "Hello father, I was picking flowers for the wagon", she answers, the book still hidden behind her back. She blushes a little because of the lie.
[08:46] Tolnus continues his tirade "picking flowers? You should prerpare meals, make the beevrages ready for my guest, you are a shame for any father."He then sees the blushing and as a haruspex, he can read the faces of men and women "why you redden, are you doing shameful things, speak up"
[08:49] Druuna blushes a bit deeper, knowing how difficult it is to hide something from her father, she shows him the book, " It is just this book, I thought I would look at it after I finish my chores, father", and she shows him the book.
[08:51] Tolnus takes the book from hs daughter and studies the outside of the book given to him "a book, that must be something brought from the Barbarian areas, those underdeveloped humans at that region don't use scrolls but books> he reads the title "Buddhist prayers and meditations"
[08:54] Druunas: "Oh it is a very good book, father, in it we are taught how to avoid suffering by eliminating ignorance and cravings", she explains, very excited.
[08:58] Tolnus hears her excitement about the book "it seems that barbarian religion has tremble a snare in her"he opens the book and reads something what looks like a prayer
 May all be filled with joy and peace.
 May all beings everywhere,
 The strong and the weak,"
[09:00] Tolnus: "all equal and in peace? What society under mining ideas are those, shuld we treat slaves in peace, they are slaves and should be treated as slaves, Not doing so is weakness and immoral"
[09:02] Druuna: 'But father, doent it sound wonderful ? Joy and beauty and bliss for all". She keeps going, very enthusiastic, "even the slaves, father, they are close to nirvana because they possess nothing"
[09:04] Tolnus sees his daughter is totally in the bane of the new ideas "i don't know what nirvana is"he reads further loud from the book "Let us live happily, without yearning for sensual pleasures " his face turns pale of anger "this book says that slave girls should live without sensual desires" heis hands reach to heaven "slaves SHOULD have sexual desires, thats what they need, thats what makes them women, thats what makes them helpless in our furs"
[09:12] Druuna smiles as she sees her father becoming pale, she says very gently, "father, you look a bit tense maybe some yoga and meditation would do you some good, I could show you some if you like, it would help you relax." She thinks a little before adding, again blushing a little, "as for the fur, that is not something I am familiar with"
[09:14] Tolnus growls "you don't seem to understand a lot of things, reading tribe undermining readings, you seem a heretic almost, must we cook you in tharlarion oil?"
[09:16] Druuna starts to become bit worried with her father's mood, "I insist, father, the 'Greetings to the Sun' pose would be very good for you, it is not good for our heart to become ngry like that, buddhism teaches us to avoid anger every day, as much as we can"
[09:17] Tolnus grabs his daughters shoulders and screams while shaking her "don't you understand such ideas are the end of you, we will have to burn you like a heretic"
[09:21] Druuna becomes pale as her father shakes her and threatens her, understanding she might have gone a little bit too far, gasps, but still inists with a very low vice, hardly audible, "but father, why should I worry for the slave's pleasure in the furs, as I am not a slave, I did not think that was relevant, I am sorry I made you so angry, father"
[09:24] Tolnus calms down "don''t you see that this belief preaches peace for all, for ALL, including slave. An dthat they will reach that through abstaining form desire" he looks at his daughter, "you don't know anything of desire, so you have no clue which forces you are playing with. maybe i should teach you a lesson and learn you about desire"
[09:29] Druuna: "What do you mean, a lesson, father ?" she asks as she becomes pale, her father is even scarier now that he is calmed down than when he was shouting.
[09:32] Tolnus grabs her at the hair "you will learn son enogh"he reaches for his belt and takes a collar from it and shows her "I will lay a punishment collar on you, being a slave for a couple of months will teach you all about desire"
[09:35] Druuna opens wide eyes as her father grabs her by the hair and shows her the collar, "You can't be serious, father, it's just a book, I just read a book", she cries.
[09:39] Tolnus says now quiet "you, the daughter of a haruspex, should of all here know best what the power of words is. You undermine my position, you can cause a slave revolt with these ideas" he throws the book in the campfire "so at least the evdence of your hericacy is burned, but the ideas in your head should be burned out too,"he snaps the collar around her nech and puts the key in his pocket I will send you to serve a man who will make sure you no longer log for Nirvana. after that we will see if we will sell you, or take bac as my daughter" He intends the latter, since she is beautiful, and a nice kaissa piece in the game of power
[09:45] Druuna tries to pull the collar off but it is well locked and her father has taken the key back, cries, shaking, " Father no, don't do this to me, I beg you, I cannot even read anymore", shows the book in the fire, "please father dont make me go", she has big tears rolling down her cheeks.
[09:49] Tolnus: "I will send you to the valley of the omens, to the Tuchuk haruspex Kutaituchik, he has his way with women, an dhas also the skills to teach you in our belief/ You will serve him and the pilgrims of the valley"
[09:51] Druuna changes her attitude as she understands that his father is serious and decided to do as he said, she is now much more angry than scared, very pale, shaking with anger, she just answers a very cold "As you wish, father".
[09:53] Tolnus starts writing a scroll with instructions for Kutai. He closes the scroll and locks it with a wax seal "I will sned 2 NPC outriders with you to Omen Valley, and delver you at Kutai, as soon as he thinks you are ready, he will send you back

----------------------

 [10:30] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) is looking over his camp when he sees a outrider coming with a free woman at his side
[10:31] Drunun and an outrider enter the camp with her guard, obliging him to drag her.
[10:32] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees that the free woman comes involuntary, the guard dragging her, almost forcing her to come with him
[10:34] Druuna looks around her once they are inside the camp, sees a man looking at them coming quietly, looks the other way.
[10:35] Nara Zsun: yes My Master
[10:35] Hakimba Oakleaf: Tal Kutai greetings lady.. i am Hakimba outrider here
[10:35] Nara Zsun: Tal Haruspex.
[10:35] Nara Zsun: Greetings Mistress
[10:36] Hakimba Oakleaf jumps on the dais
[10:36] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): ((she is guarded by a NPC Outrider))
[10:36] Nara Zsun: follows her Master ....sliding under his this thigh
[10:38] Druuna looks at the outrider and the slave coming, anger showing in her eyes as well as fear, "Greetings" she says wiyth a low voice. Looks at her guard , furious, showing him the way back.
[10:38] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) speaks to the outrider "tal warrior, what brings you and your Lady here? "he sees the man wears the courage scars and a lance of the Paravaci
[10:39] Hakimba Oakleaf listens attentively
[10:40] Nara Zsun: leans closer to her Master, wide eyes moving rapidly back an forth between the Haruspex, the woman and the Paravaci
[10:42] Hakimba Oakleaf is confused...the lady looks like a free woman but wears a collar
[10:42] Paravaci: "Tal Haruspex, I have orders to bring this girl to you", he takes a scroll and gives it to the haruspex
[10:45] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) accepts the scroll of the Paravaci and rolls it open to read it "Dear Kutai, my brother haruspex, my daughter Druuna has been caught reading and heretic scrolls and has been preaching society undermining ideas"
[10:45] Nara Zsun: watches the Paravaci warrior had the scroll to the Haruspex, seeing him open it an begin to read, her curiosity twinkles in her amethyst eyes
[10:45] Hakimba Oakleaf still confused is watching what is going on
[10:46] Druuna looks to the ground, angry, muttering, "It is just a book, just a book I read"
[10:47] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) reads further aloud "she believes that slaves are be treated equal to the free, but worst of all, she seems to be a follower of a religion which says that Desieres and Needs are all cause of evil"
[10:47] Hakimba Oakleaf shakes his head.. evebn as i dont know to read i know that a wrong book can cause evil
[10:47] Druuna smiles to the girl as she hears the haruspex talking about slaves
[10:48] Nara Zsun: feels concern suddenly for the woman seeing the fear on her delicate face, casts her eyes to the furs an sits very still
[10:48] Hakimba Oakleaf pulls his girl closer.... "you may never take such a book into your hands
[10:49] Juels Dreki (juelsdreki) is offline.
[10:49] Nara Zsun: gulps feeling his strong arm squeeze her, yes My Master I will obey
[10:49] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "o she wants to ban Needs out of people for their happiness "Kutai shakes his head in disbelieve and he looks at the free woman of the Paravaci, he reads further "this means that she in fact preaches slave girls should no longer desire the hand of man, which is an attack at the fundamental philosophy of Gor"
[10:50] Nara Zsun: sucks in her breath biting her lower lip
[10:50] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) continues "dear fellow haruspex, i have laid a punishment collar around her ncek, i ask you to learn her to accept her desires and needs so that this heresy is banned out of her, if needed with the whip"
[10:51] Hakimba Oakleaf nods in agreement slavery is natural it is the true determination of a kajira
[10:51] Nara Zsun: gasps her hand squeezes her Masters thigh without thought...
[10:51] Druuna talks to her guard, " Very well, the lecture is over, I promise not to do it again, let us go home now'
[10:52] Nara Zsun: quickly draws her hands to her lap wringing them in concern
[10:54] Hakimba Oakleaf grins... i dont think that was the punishment meant for you lady
[10:54] Paravaci pushes the girl closer to the haruspex
[10:55] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees how the warrior holds his grip on her and he reads further for all to hear "so keep her here as a slave to serve all pilgrims, to learn her needs, to see which faith ir right. When she has learned what it needs to be a woman of Gor, i will take he rback and give her away asa companion to a powerful man Kutai thinks, yes, her comes the politics, he does not just sell her right away, because he needs her as a puppet in the games of getting power over the plains
[10:56] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) finished the scroll "as signed "Tolnus, haruspex of the Paravaci"
[10:57] Druuna answers the warrior, " My father said this n a moment of anger, I am sure he will understand that this punishment s exagerated, I am the daughter of a haruspex, not a slave, and I will be treated with the respect due to my rank>"
[10:58] Hakimba Oakleaf nods i think this scroll gives clear advice
[10:58] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) waves the scroll when he stands up "your father asks me to treat yu as a slave as long as i fund it necessary for your training" He walks towards the couple
[10:58] Nara Zsun: keeps still, her eyes to the furs knowing how frightened the woman must be....her heart beating faster and breaths coming in deep gulps.
[10:59] Hakimba Oakleaf follows Kutai
[10:59] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) walks to the whipping post and gives the outrider of the Paravaci to chain the arms of the woman to this pole

 [10:59] Druuna: 'me pulls on the warrior's sleeve as she sees the haruspex walk toward us, starts trembling, begs him to take her back with him
[11:00] The Paravaci drags her to the post
[11:00] Nara Zsun: a mist forms in her eyes, watching with fear, knowing what is about to happen shivers
[11:01] Druuna screams , " I forbid you , let me go!!! "
[11:02] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) says with a wicked grin to the bound woman "you desire that i free you? I though that abstinence of desire was your goal"
[11:02] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles
[11:04] Druunamutters, "It is not funny and you will regret this"
[11:05] Hakimba Oakleaf: i think you will be really impressed by this menace Kutai
[11:06] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): "it's indeed not funny, and i mean it, i will learn u to know your desires, and you will beg for them to be fulfilled"
[11:08] DRuuna casts angry looks at all the people around, looks at the guard, "please tell my father how I am treated", looks at the haruspex, takes a dep breath, trying to calm herself, and says " I do not hate you, I will not be angry" then closes her eyes and starts chanting a low 'ommmm'
[11:10] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) grins to the Paravaci who also has a wicked smile. Knowing the greedy ways of the Paravaci he gives him a pice of silver and smiles "I think her father just wants me to train he ras a slave so he gets more for her at the block, greedy bastard as he is"The Paravaci's smiles broadens, he knows his people and is not ashamed for their desire for gold
[11:13] Druuna sees the haruspex paying the warrior, hears what he says, again takes a deep breath, " it is ignorance that makes you speak that way, if you had the knowledge, you would know that living beings are precious but not for sale"
[11:15] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) hands go through the blond hair of the woman, he slowly removes the pins, watching for poisoned one, one by one her braids are loosened and the hair falls at her shoulders
[11:17] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) sees how the paracavi goes to his kailla after accepting the silver "I will tell her father, the haruspex that you started her training immediate"he waves and leaves the valley
[11:17] Nara Zsun: watches the Paravaci warrior ride off in cloud of dust...leaving the beautiful FW behind
[11:18] ana (anastastia) is online.
[11:18] Druuna looks at the guard leaving; she now has tears in her eyes, feeling helpless and scared, looks at the haruspex while he is untying her hair, " please don't, don't touch me, I beg you"
[11:19] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles..... dont be afraid... the haruspex will teach you the lessons you really will need
[11:21] Druuna has become much nicer with the people around her since the guard has left; she feels it is best for her. She answers the warrior's smile, grateful for some kindness, still terrified.
[11:21] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) takes the upper side of the front dress in both hands and suddenly tears her robe open, exposing her breasts
[11:22] Nara Zsun: remains still, not surprised by the actions of the Haruspex... her heart softens to the poor female knowing what lessons she is about to learn
[11:23] Druuna screams as the haruspex tears her dress open, "Noooooooooo, please don't don't don't" she cries. "I understood the lesson, I will not read any more of those books, nor preach what is in them"
[11:26] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles.. this book must have confused her
[11:26] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) takes his quiva and cuts away the robe slowly "you don't need clothes, since you desire nothing. If you want clotehs again, you have to beg me"
[11:29] Druuna sees with horror her dress fall to the ground, crying, shaking, " I beg you , please give me clothes"
[11:30] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles.... when seeing the naked woman... it would be a shame when this body would be neglected only because of such nonsense in a book
[11:30] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks surprised "you seem to develop need very rapidly, I will keep you a bit naked so you learn the effect of your desire deeper
[11:31] Hakimba Oakleaf chuckles at the willingly misunderstandings
[11:31] Lanternbearer holds the lantern above the girl to check if she has cleaned everything.
[11:31] Druuna sobs and cries, her eyes on the ground, not daring to look at anyone, blushing deep red because of being tied naked to the post
[11:33] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks at Hakimba and Nadi "she will be bound at the post, until she begs me to unbind her from it her, freedom of movement is a need too, even more basic then clothes, let that be her first lesson"he turns to Hakimba "maybe Nadi can bring us some refreshments while we admire the stretched body of this slave"
[11:34] Hakimba Oakleaf nods... yes that is a good proposal i would like a paga the way i got yesterday
[11:34] Nara Zsun: looks up to her Master nodding....yes My Master chilled paga for you and the Haruspex
[11:34] Hakimba Oakleaf: nadi please ask the haruspex for his wishes
[11:36] Elric Wilberg is offline.
[11:36] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): chilled paga for me too
[11:37] Hakimba Oakleaf smiles.. nadi seems to know your preferences kutai
[11:37] Levan Sivith (levansivith) begs, "please let me go, this hurts"
[11:37] Hakimba Oakleaf: the good thing is... when bound this way at the pole the woman doesnt need any refreshments
[11:38] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): so you agree with me that desire to be free of being bound and being hurt is a good thing?
[11:39] Druuna nods, her face full of tears, " Yes, I agree"
[11:39] Hakimba Oakleaf: i think it will not take a long while till she will have learned this first lesson
[11:39] Nara Zsun: settling softly in the grass, spreads her moist tanned thighs for his pleasure, setting one bowl down, lifts one to her lips kissing the bottom of the bowl whispers softly not to interrupt. May this chilled paga dance across your tongue an delight your senses My Master
[11:41] Hakimba Oakleaf: thank you nadi... takes his paga and drinks a first sip
[11:42] Nara Zsun: is my pleasure to serve you My Master
[11:42] Hakimba Oakleaf: harta serve Kutai.. i think he is even more thirsty than me
[11:42] Nara Zsun: yes My Master, turning on her heel ....kneels quickly at the Haruspex boots
[11:44] Nara Zsun: settling softly careful not to spill a drop. Proffers up the bowl, softly kissing the bottom whispers, May this chilled paga be found pleasing an warm your belly Master.
[11:45] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) watches the slave hanging at the post, her front stretched so her breasts are evry visible for the otehrs. He taeks the bowl from Nadi without taking his eye from the naked body of the free woman in bonds
[11:47] Druuna is red with anger and humiliation, feels the haruspexe's insistent look on her body, cries in silence.
[11:49] Hakimba Oakleaf empties his bowl with a big sip.... "sorry Kutai we need to retire .... i think one night in the fresh air of the plains will be a good lesson for the lady
[11:49] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) drinks slowly and sees her crying but he knows he has to break and humiliate her completely to build up what his brother haruspex wants from his daughter
[11:50] Hakimba Oakleaf: i wish you well kutai and not such strong cold wind for the lady
[11:50] Nara Zsun: takes her Master's bowl to the kitchen quickly cleaning it returns it to the shelf
[11:50] Nara Zsun: I wish you well Haruspex
[11:50] Hakimba Oakleaf: nadi come with me... may the open sky bless you Kutai
[11:51] Nara Zsun: looks sadly at the weeping woman her heart softens to her
[11:51] Nara Zsun: be safe beauty, I will return to take care of any needs you may have.
[11:51] Nara Zsun: follows her Master to his wagon
[11:51] Levan Sivith (levansivith): thank you, she smiles between tears
[11:53] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) looks stern at Nadi "I forbid you to relieve er needs, for anything she wants , she has to beg me, for cloths, food, water, shelter, any thing"
[11:53] Druuna looks at the haruspex, sniffing, shaking, "Please, I am cold", she keeps begging.
[11:55] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) has not finished his paga yet and drinks a bit more
[11:57] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): so yu beg me to free you from the whipping post
[11:58] Druuna: yes I do she answers promptly
[11:59] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): you know what a herd sleen is?
[11:59] Druuna: no I do not
[12:01] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) frees her hands from the whipping post "i show you" he look at her " i want you to go on all fours, you must develop a desire to walk and then beg for it"

[11:41] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith) takes the piece of meat and smiles to the haruspex, she is starting to enjoy this.

[11:43] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith) finishes the piece of meat and opens her mouth wide, looking at the haruspex
[11:43] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov): hm, that are wise words Kyle, the old Ubar San Kamchak could have said them
[11:45] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) shoves a new piece of meat in her mouth, training her asa Pavlov dog, conditioning her reflexes at the sound of the word meat

[11:56] Kyle (kylethya): ~lays his hand easily on Ve'ras shoulder and offers her the half empty milkbowl ~drink some girl...

[12:01] Ruffus Pinion grins at Kutais training of the slut

[12:02] Kutai (kutaituchik.kroitschov) smles at the eagerness of Druuna, and woders if she will be ever happy again when he returns her to her father to marriage her out to some ubar in his power puppet game
[12:06] :: D r u u n a :: (levansivith) enjoys being allowed to live like a wild beast and not having to behave like a good lady, which she always had so much trouble with. Maybe her father did the right thing, after all, by sending her here, away from prety dresses and mundanities
