Prepares Chieftain's Cabin for Departure (26 March)
[19:14] ℂℓy (clysa.dragoone) sighs softly, as steelyeyes blinking, waking slowly, cly gazes about the dimness wiithin her Jarl's cabin. Today was the day. Her Jarl returned a few days ago and met with the Village council. It was decided, that they would be seeking out lusher lands then that of the 'Mark, to prosper on.
Stretching as she rises, cly noticee her Jarl had slipped out before dawn, not dsturbing her. No doubt he was at the docks, speaking to the captain and preparing the serpent to sail that day. Going to the fireplace, she added some more log to the dying ambers. It was early spring and the air still holds a chill to it. As the cabin starts to warm, she starts to gather her Jarl's clothesand belongings, placing them into the chests along side the wall.
Opening the door after some time, when cly finished packing her Jarl's belongings, she moves to the great stoe couch, strips it of the furs and blankets. Taking them out t hang upon the clothes line to air out before the too go into a trunk. Returning back inside she fetches
[19:14] ℂℓy (clysa.dragoone): a broom from the corner and stats to sweep outthe gathering dust, humming softly as she works.
Seeing that she was almost finished, cly went back out to fetch the furs and blankets. Folding and rolling them, she adds themto the final chests in the corner. Smiling, she nods slightly before sitting by the fireplace, awaiting for the dockhands to arrive, to let them know about the chests and what else that needs to be sent to the docks to be loaded up into the serpent.
As they came, cly heads out to see what else needs doing before they all head out that day. Turning she hurries to fetch a basket to gather up some last larmas to add to the supplies before they leave Rondvik to head to their new home and start a new beginning.
Noir Avenir.

Grinding Sa-Tarna ((19 March))
[11:08] ℂℓy (clysa.dragoone) sighs, as steely eyes gazes up at the mid-day sun. cly had been within the garden, most of the morning, reaping several stocks of sa-tarna rods. So far, she had two bundles piled up to the side, out of the way, so none would stumble over them.
Crouching close to he bundles, cly took some strands of fiber, binding the rods together, so it would be easier for her to carry them over by the smithy to the grinding wheel.
Kneeling close to the wheel, cly took a few of the rods, placing them between the grinding stones. Gripping the wooden turn wheel over the slabs in her small hands, she tugs upon it, til it starts moving. Turning clockwise, she watches as the stones slowly comes together, grinding down the rods into a fine powder.
Reversing the wheel, cly lightly brushes the ground up flour into one of the awaiting sacks at her side. Sighing softl, as she glances over at therest of the awaiting rods within the bundles, knowing her task isn't and won't be finished til dusk.

(3) First Arrival
I had no memories of how I arrived, only that I went to bed at my own home. I do recall, slowly waking up to the sound of the surf, crashing against the rocks. I could feel cool, soft sand under me asI gazed up to the night sky.
It was when I notice the three glorious moons above me. That was my first clue that I was no longer upon my world. The second clue, as I start to stir and sit up more, was a man approaching me.
Clad in dark leather, he reminded me of the mideval vikings of ancient Earth. And when he spoke to me, I couldn't understand a word he said. I was quite frightened, kneeling there in the sand, gazing at this fierce warrior. He had drawn out his sword and pointed it at my neck, speaking only two words.
La kajira.
I took it, I was suppose to repeat them. As I did, he resheathed his sword and drew out some rope. He motioned that I should cross my wrists at my back. Doing so, he was behind me, crouching close.
I cried out, struggling when I felt him tying my hands back. As I fought him, I suddenly felt the sharp tip of a blade to my throat. I went utterly still as he finished his task of binding my wrists. Then he spoke those words to me again, pressing the blade down by my belly.
La kajira, la kajira.
I remember crying out, over and over again, til he removed the blade. I felt a loop of another rope going about my throat. Then a sharp tug upon it. Rising to my feet, I follow this man. Following him into my new life.
Gathering Larma (15 March)
[06:01] ℂℓy (clysa.dragoone): hums softly as she slips from the gates long before dawn, cly moves down along the path with basket in hand as she heads on down to the fire circle, she wanted to surprise all by fixing fresh baked larmas, like she used to make upon her home world,for they resemble the apples theres, the wind from the Thassa blew in between the lands, sending the scent of morning and salt as she approaches the large larma tree, smiling seeing how fresh and ripe they are as she moves to the closest branch, humming to herself as she picks them, inspecting each larma makingsure none were bruised as she places them within her basket, gazing up one in a while to see a fishing boat with Jarls and bonds passingby she waves to them before continuing her task, when her basket was full, smiling with pride she picks it up and carries her treasure back up to the gates, heading towards the bakery, se believes she would wash and set several out for any desires to have them while the rest she prepares to make te tarts and baked larma treats

What it Means to be a Bond
This little task, the Overseer has placed upon us, have me stop to take in all my surroundings.
The meaning to be a bond, isnt just a femlee whose belly lie beneathe the sword. It also, to me at least, means she is the strength and pride of bother, her Jarl and the Village she serves in.
Within the village, a bond does alot to keep the village thriving even while the Jarls are away. Making sure each task and simple chore are done. So the village runs smoothly and in order. For both Jarl's approval and tp please him.
And speaking of Jarls, I am proud to be collared by my Jarl. He who brought me im from my dispair as i roamed, abandon. To me, his collar about my neck is my freedom and I will neverstray from it. For he lets me be true to myself. As a slave of the north, a bond.
And I would do anything and everything to bring honor and pride, not to just the village that i serve in, but to the man whom ive serve. My Jarl. Thank you, for making me your bond, my Jarl.

The Banners of Rondvik
(2) Before Gor
Sitting here with marking stick in hand, I try to recall how my life was before I came to Gor. This counter-Earth.
I remember it being simple with a repeating daily routine, that I lived for a majority of my life. Upon my home world, I guess it would be known as, since these Goreans calls it differ. They pronounce it as Urth, not Earth. But, I'm trailing off subject here.
Anyways, I was known as an American, born and raised upon a small plot of farmland, my family had owned for many years. Each day, I start out long before dawn, tending to my chores. Making sure all the animals were fed and their stalls or cages were clean.
After cleaning and freshing up, I head into town to the local diner, where I work as a waitress up til after the lunch rush. Then, I head off to school. That's right, I was a college student. My major was History, but I took a secondary major course of Dancing, that I so enjoyed doing. I felt so free and female, as my body sways sensually. It also makes me forget about the everyday stress that I tend to put up with, as I went through my routine like clockwork.
But now, all of that is in my past life, since the cool ring of steel, rests about my throat. For as of now, here upon this world, unlike any other, a whole new life has began.

(1) Introduction
((NOTE:
All information is based on Gor, belongs to John Norman, the creator and author to the Gorean book series. I am only borrowing teh concept of the books for my role-play character within the 3D chat world of SEcondLife and as a blogger background story.
That this is her tale of her life andhardships that she goes through to survive as a Gorean slave and bondsmaid.
Please enjoy and keep an open mind to all the what-ifs in life.
JLM aka cly))
Well, I guess I better start by introducing myself. I was once known as Clysa Dragoone of Urth ((Earth)). A simple twenty year old farm girl, who was taking college courses within the fields of History and Dance.
But, that life was disupted and changed forever, as I found myself upon a strange world. The sisterplanet to my home world. A counter-Earth, where true men lives by steel and honor. While women like myself, are bound by collars and brands, to serve and please such men.
I was once a simple farmer's daughter and promising college student. Now, I am only cly, the Torvaldsland bondsmaid to my owner or Jarl. That's what I am, as my new life began. A life of a Gorean slave or kajira.
Now, as acting Recordeer for my Jarl's Village, I thought to take the time, at least when I can, to recap the venturres of my time here upon Gor. My lessons, chores, as well as both Village reports and events. For how else would any understand the meanings of this world and what is happening, if one doesn't do so.
