"Are you hurt much,child?"
Brail pushed him away and rose unsteadily to her feet.
"Don't fuss over me.My mom used to do that.I'll be ok, godamn it."
"Your head is matted with blood in back.We'll have to find you medical attention."
He propped her up and they began walking the narrow streets looking for a doctor.
It wasn't long before he found one.
The physician was a friendly android woman with a golden body.
"Good afternoon,"she greeted them in a musical voice."It looks like your daughter suffered a kick from a horse."
"Actually it was one of the soldiers,"Captain Space told her.
The physician examined the back of her head and reached for a bowl of leeches on the shelf.
"I'll bleed the wound."
Brail recoiled in horror.
"Keep that shit away from me! There's no way your sticking those things on me."
"Perhaps just a salve, Doctor,"the Captain suggested.
It stank like fetid swamp water but it did the trick.
Strange how primitive the medical system was in this place.
Once they were back out in the street they had to decide where to go next.
The most logical thing to do was to find lodging,so that the girl could rest.
It was then that he saw the dinosaur staring at them from behind a fountain of a satyr pissing.
It was about the size of a horse, and stood on its hind legs like a man.It resembled an iguana except for a large horn protruding from the bridge of its nose.It,too,wore the silver space suit of the Eye cult.It was a carnosaur,from the far away planet of Sauros in the Pelagar galaxy.
He felt a ghostly finger in his mind and realized with shock that the creature was telepathic!
He quickly put up a mind block to prevent the alien from reading his thoughts.
He wasn't going to make it easy for these people.They would probably just kill both of them in the end but he would fight as much as he could,no matter the odds.
If he could just find transport off of this accursed planet,he could get the girl to safety somewhere and face Zorrik by himself....
"There you are!"
The voice of a pretty Voluptian girl broke into his thoughts.
She was purple skinned,had three eyes and antenna on her forehead.
From her nakedness,and the steel collar around her throat,he surmised her to be a slave.
"I've been searching for you two.My master would like for you both to join him at the games today,"she said,smiling.
When he looked back at where the dinosaur should have been,he found him missing.
The spy would have some explaining to do.
"And who might your master be,young lady?"
"The great Ceaser himself, Captain,"the girl said."And my name is Credessa.I am trained in the sexual arts if you have a mind to."
"I'm afraid I haven't been sexually active in centuries,Credessa,"he said."It was burned out of me when another Ceaser had me murdered."
"Oh,how sad,"the Voluptian said.She turned to look at Brail.And how about you,miss? You have such big round eyes.I would so love to immerse myself in you."
Brail laughed nervously.
"I'll pass."
"Oh,"the slave girl said, crestfallen."Perhaps once you feel better."
"Yeah, I'll keep that in mind,"Brail said.
Credessa smiled sweetly and summoned one of the bat creatures out of the sky.
It flew down with a tremendous beating of wings and landed in front of them.
"This is the quickest way to get you to the Coliseum.
