Said Tab, " that means "beasts'."
                "That is interesting," I said. If Samos were correct that "Kurii" was a Goprean corruption of the name of such animals for themselves, and that the word was used in Torvaldsland as a designation for beasts, then it seemed not unlikely that such animals were not unknown in Torvaldsland, at least in certain areas, perhaps remote ones.
                The tarn had flown northwest. It would, presumably, follow the coast north, perhaps above the forests, perhaps to the bleak   coasts of forbidding   Torvaldsland itself.
                "Do you surmise, Samos," I asked, "that the beast killed for hunger?"
                "Speak," said Samos to the rencer.
                "The beast," he said, " had been seen earlier, twice, on abandoned, half-rotted rence islands, lurking."
                "Did it feed?" I asked.
                "Not on those of the marshes," said the man.
                "It had opportunity?" I asked.
                "As much or more as when it made its strike," said the man.
                "The beast struck once, and once only?" I asked.
                "Yes," said the man.
                "Samos?" I asked.
                "The strike," said Samos," seems deliberate. Who else in the marshes wore a golden armlet?"
                "But why?" I asked. "Why?"
                He looked at me. "The affairs of worlds," said Samos, "apparently still touch you."
                "He is crippled!" cried Luma. " You speak strangely! He can do nothing! Go away!"
                I put down my head.
                On the table I felt my fists clenched. I suddenly felt a hideous exhilaration.
                "Bring me a goblet," I said.
                A goblet was fetched. It was of heavy gold. I took it in my left hand. Slowly I crushed it.
                I threw it from me.
                Those of my house stood back, frightened.
                "I will go," said Samos./ " There is work to be done in the north. I will seek the vengeance."
                "No, Samos," I said. " I will go."
                There were gasps from those about.
                "You cannot go," whispered Luma.
                "Telima was once my woman," I said. "It is mine to seek the vengeance."
                "You are crippled! You vannot move!" cried Luma.
                "There are two swords over my couch," said I to Thurnock. "One is plain, with a worn hilt; the other is rich, with a jewel-encrusted hilt."
                "I know them," whispered Thurnock.
                "Bring me the blade of Port Kar, swiftm fit with inhilted jewels."
                He sped from the room.
                "I would have paga," I said. " And bring me the red meat of bosk."
                Henrius and Clitus left the table.
                The sword was brought. It was a fine blade. It had been carried on the 25th of Se'Kara. Its blade was figured, its hilt encrusted with jewels.
                I took the goblet, filled with burning paga. I had not had paga since returning frm the northern forests.
                "Ta-Sardar-Gor," said I, pouring a libation to the table. Then I stood.
                "he is standing!" cried Luma. " He is standing!"
                I threw back my head and swilled down the paga. The meat, red and hot, was brought, and I tore it in my teeth, the juices running at the side of my mouth.
                The blood and the paga were hot and dark within me. I felt the heat of the meat.
                I threw from me the goblet of gold. I tore the meat and finished it.
                I put over my left shoulder the scabbard
