**A small dark haired kajira quietly sits on her Master's fur, her clear blue eyes growing soft as she drifts back in time and begins to relive the journey that brought her to where she is today. Smiling gently at those gathered around, she pushes her onyx locks back over her creamy shoulders and begins to speak........

On a cold January evening, overcome by the pressures of life on urth, she slipped out of the only home that she had ever known and started walking to clear her head. As she walked her thoughts began to turn to all the things that were troubling her...the feeling that something was missing in her life..her dissatifaction with her life and last but most importantly the ache that she felt deep in her heart. She walked and thought and at times even shed a few tears, feeling that her life was so unmeaningful and desperating wishing for a way to fill the void that gnawed deep in her soul. Unmindful of the bitter cold and the day that was slowly slipping into evening,she walked for hours until she heard the gentle trickling of water rushing along a river. Stopping and looking around...she realized that she had ventured to a place unfamiliar to her.

Calmed by the soft music of the rushing water, she stood on the river bank.. shivering and drawing herself tighter into her coat as the wind ran its icy hand against her body.. suddenly she felt the warming comfort of a fur being draped around her chilled shoulders. Startled by its appearance, she suddenly realized that she was not alone, holding her breath, fear racing thru her body, she slowly raised her head and found herself looking into the flashing Scorpio eyes of Temji KnightStorm. He leaned down to her and explained that He had seen her from His camp and had come to offer her the warmth of a fur and the heat from His campfire if she so desired to partake of it. Looking past Him, she noticed for the first time, a camp filled with handsome men and sexy beautiful women and the sounds of laughter and music filling the air .Overcome by her shyness under Master KnightStorm's calm gaze, words failed her, she could only shake her head and turn and begin to run swifly away.

Returning home that evening, she felt as though she was almost dreamed the entire encounter, she couldnt remember how she got to that peaceful river nor how she was able to find her way back home. Moving her hands to her shoulders, she realized that she still had the fur draped around them .After carefully examining it, she noticed that it was unlike any fur that she had ever seen before. Several days passed, it seemed as though every time she passed by the fur hanging next to her coat, she had to pause and stroke the fur and let her thoughts drift back to her chance meeting with Master KnightStorm and the discovery of His camp.

More than a week passed by, she found herself being drawn back to the camp, after much inner struggle with herself, late one afternoon with the fur cradled in her arms she set out to try and retrace her steps. She walked for what seemed to be miles, growing more and more frustrated with every step, so sure that she would never find the camp again. Then in the calmness of the night...she begin to hear the sound of music sofly beginning to play. Quietly she moved closer to the sound and discovered that she had once again stumbled on to Master KnightStorm's camp. Closing her eyes and resting her petite body against a temwood tree, she let the peacefulness of the camp and the beautiful music carry her away. Slowly opening her eyes as she heard footsteps approaching, she watched as Master KnightStorm once again appeared. This time though, her curiosity getting the best of her, she didnt run, but stayed and began to talk with Master KnightStorm.

As days turned into weeks, the two of them spoke frequently as she started feeling herself being drawn to stand in the shadows of the camp. She came to trust Master KnightStorm and shared things with Him that she had never spoke of with anyone.He in turn explained to her the ways of Gor, his beliefs and the day to day workings of His camp. He saw many things in the girl that no one else ever had, what some might perceive as sassiness and outspokenness, He saw as fire and spirit and never once tried to quiet these traits but instead always encouraged her to search deep within herself and be the girl that she needed to be. With the passage of more time this girl and Master KnightStorm formed a bond of friendship and affection , and although He made it clear to her that she was welcome to join His camp, He once never pushed her in any way, letting her take her time and make her own decision.

One spring evening, He brought a beautiful woman with hair of spun gold and warm blue eyes to meet this girl. He introduced her as Sylver Dawn, His Free Companion. At once, she sensed the deep love and affection between the two of them and it filled her heart with gladness. With Sylver Dawn, she she instantly felt a warmness toward Her and knew from deep down within that both Her and Master Knighstorm were destined to become important to her. On April 6,2002, after taking one last look at the urth she knew she gently closed that door and was ko lared as kettle in Master's camp.

*as her story nears the end, her crystal clear blue eyes bright with tears, her small fingers gently caressing the red ribbon braided in her dark hair at her temple , a gift her Mistress gave her after she danced for her Master when she became a red silk....her voice choked with emotion as she struggles to finish her story*

She settled quickly into camp life, growing more and more as each day brought many new things, bonding with her sisters and slowing carving a niche for herself within camp. The night after she passed her test bringing her out of kettle and to being a yellow~t~, she sat on the serving furs quietly talking with her sisters, waiting for her Master to change her ko lar. He rose from His fur, ambled over to this girl, drew her up by her hair and led her to the main campfire. A hush fell over the camp as Master gently caressed this girl's hair and spoke aloud the words that had been for weeks echoing in her heart..."this girl...I claim as Mine". He slipped her old ko lar off her slender neck and read the new ko lar to her ~amshula{KS}, boundless joy spread thru her slavebody as she knew with every fiber of her being that before her stood her One True Master and that her long journey was finally over....she was Home.
