Author's note:

Okay, I am NOT an SG1 geek. I don't have every episode memorized, I'm
not immersed in the canon. I love the concept of the show, and I loved
the movie it was based on, but sometimes the show makes me clench my
teeth. The actions of the characters are sometimes so stupid that I
have to shake my head and say, "THIS is a special forces team?"

So... this is my attempt at doing a little writing in the Star Gate
world. While SG-1 has a small part, the story is not about them. It
follows another SG team, and, since it's a Dark Pen story, there's
gonna be some sex. Most likely a lot of sex. So... if SG-1 is something
you live and breathe, stay away from this story. It'll make you nuts.

Chapter 3

    	By the time they made their way back to the ridge, it was full
dark.  It was pretty hard to see what was going on in the camp below,
but it was clear there were a lot of people having sex.  They couldn't
spot Reed, and settled down to wait for a few hours.  Once it looked
like things were in full swing, and boy, thought Finn, were they in
full swing, the team made their way down to the temple.

    	They'd decided to approach it from the rear, in hopes that they'd
be able to find a way in.  Despite the fact that there was a huge orgy
going on, there was still a large number of armed men and women walking
the camp.  They occasionally joined in the fun here and there, but when
they did someone always took their place.  Finn wondered if they
patrolled out of habit or need.  He was hoping habit.

    	The team managed to get down to the rear of the temple without
killing themselves or being seen -- no simple feat, since the cliff,
despite being tree covered, was very steep.  The night vision goggles
helped with that quite a bit.  Once they'd made it to the back of the
temple, Alexa immediately began searching for a way in, while Finn and
Wilds kept watch.  No one actually came back there, which didn't
surprise Finn since the area wasn't lit at all.  He thought it was kind
of odd, but perhaps they knew no one could get into the structure from
the rear.  Still, it was a bit of a gap in their patrols.

    	The gap didn't last.

    	"Shit," said Finn softly.  "We're about to have company."

    	It was dark, but it appeared that two men were approaching from
around the corner.  They couldn't see anything yet, but it wouldn't be
long they saw the team.  Finn had only spotted them because of the
night vision goggles.

    	"I got two coming this way," said Wilds.

    	"Damn," said Finn.  "C'mon, we have to get back into the woods."

    	"No," said Alexa, almost at the same time, "I got something here.
Just give me a sec."

    	"We're out of time," said Finn, returning to the doctor, just in
time to see her disappear into what looked like a solid portion of the
wall.

    	"What the fuck..." said Wilds, who hadn't arrived to see Alexa
disappear.

    	"Come _on_" Shaw whispered, her hand appearing from a pool of
darkness.

    	Finn nodded at Wilds who stepped toward the wall, only to
disappear as well.  Finn followed to find himself in a dimly lit
corridor with the two women.  Alexa fiddled with something on the wall,
and the doorway they'd entered through disappeared.

    	"That was a little close," he said.  "Nice work, though."

    	"Thanks," grinned the doctor.

    	"How the hell did you find that in the dark?" asked Wilds.

    	Alexa shrugged.  "I donno.  It's sort of a feel, I guess."

    	Finn remembered that Alexa had had no problem finding a way to
open the trap door either, and wondered a bit about her background.
How did having a doctorate in physics and computer engineering
translate into being able to find hidden doors?  Well, something to
worry about another day.

    	They followed the corridor until they came to a cross roads.  The
hall had the appearance of not having been used for a long time -- if
the dust on the ground was any indication -- but there were very dimly
glowing strips set in the ceiling, which allowed the to remove the
night-vision gear.  There were no doors, and up until this point, there
had been no other branches.

    	"Now what?" asked Wilds.

    	"We split up," responded Finn.  "I want to find Reed and get her
out of here while it's still dark.  Otherwise, we're going to have to
come into the main camp tomorrow to get her, and I'd like to avoid
that.  Just because they didn't hurt her today, doesn't guarantee
she'll be safe tomorrow."

    	Dr. Shaw looked like she wanted to challenge the 'didn't hurt her
today' statement, but it was clear that she wasn't going to get into an
argument right at the moment.  A point in her favor, thought Finn,
since they really didn't have the time.

    	Alexa went left, and Wilds took the right corridor, while Finn
continued straight ahead.  He hadn't walked too far when the corridor
came to an end.  He cursed, then almost jumped out of his skin as the
top half of the wall went transparent.  He froze, since he was looking
into a room that was well lit with large torches, and had quite a few
people in it.  One of whom was Captain Reed.

    	He took in the scene in front of him, realized that everyone was
quite occupied, and decided to dash in there.  He figured he'd have a
good chance to disable the three men before the alarm could be raised.
The two girls who'd been playing bondage games with Reed all day were
there, but they were occupied with each other, and positioned in the
far corner from the door.  All these thoughts went through his brain in
about a second and a half, and he knew he needed to act before anyone
saw him.  So he put his hand up on the ledge and went to swing into the
room.

    	Only to smack his hand, knee and head, into a solid wall.  He was
stunned for a second, and dropped down to hide from the people in the
room.  He needn't have worried.  Raising his head up to look over the
ledge, he saw that no one was looking at him.  Cautiously, he put out a
hand toward what appeared to be open space.  Despite the fact that he
could hear and see through it, it was anything but open space.  In
fact, the area felt just like the cold stone that the rest of the
corridor was made from.  Obviously it wasn't, as he could see through
it.  A loud moan reminded him he could hear through it as well.  He
continued to peer over the edge into the room.

    	The two girls from earlier were locked in a passionate sixty-nine,
eagerly using their tongues and fingers on each other.  They looked to
be really enjoying each other, as their moans and writhing bodies
glistened in the torchlight.  He didn't look at them for long though,
since Reed captured and held his attention.

    	She was riding the very large cock of one man, while another had
obviously penetrated her ass.  The man on the bottom was roughly
squeezing her breasts and pinching her nipples with bruising force.
The man fucking her ass, and Finn's eyes widened when he saw the size
of that pole, had a short whip in his hand which he used liberally on
the Captain's ass and back.  Both were welted and red, attesting to the
fact that he putting some force into the swings.

    	The final man was in her mouth.  Reed's hands were free and she
was cradling his balls with one hand while gripping his shaft with the
other.  His cock was also quite large.  Reed's eyes were closed with
what looked like bliss, as her body serviced the three men with a skill
Finn would have expected from a porn star.  That led him to wonder if
she was acting the part of a porn star -- moans and sighs included --
or if she was really into what was happening.  For her sake, he hoped
she was really into it.

    	Two of the men stiffened, one right after the other, grunting
loudly as they came in her lower holes.  Reed let out a loud moan,
stuffing the cock in her mouth as deep as she could.  The two men
relaxed, and the girls let out a squeal, and untangled themselves from
each other.

    	"Oh Rika," said one, "Alro and Turlu have left us their gift."

    	"Yes little wives," said one of the men, "come and take it."

    	Reed groaned as the large cocks were removed from her body and she
was quickly placed on her back at the edge of the bed they were on.
Eagerly, Rika and the other girl attacked her nether regions, licking
and sucking as the Captain shuddered under their ministrations.

    	"Oh my god, you two are going to kill me," she said, during the
short time her mouth was free of cock.

    	The girl who wasn't Rika giggled, and said, "The God will receive
you a happy woman."

    	"And remember the Chief's orders:  You are not to speak," said the
other girl, who quickly went back to sucking the man's cum from Reed's
ass.

    	Reed would have answered, but the man who's cock she was
servicing, leaned forward, pushing his length deep into her mouth.  In
fact, she swallowed the thing to the root, her throat bulging just a
bit.  The man moaned, then moaned louder as the guy who'd been fucking
Reed's ass used his short whip on her breasts, causing Reed to jump a
little and moan herself.  She submissively kept her hands out of the
way as her mouth was fucked.  Finn was starting to wonder just how much
experience the Captain had, that she could take something that large in
her throat and not even gag.  It was at that point that he realized she
really was enjoying herself.

    	Meanwhile the two girls had finished cleaning Reed, and were
sharing the cum they'd gotten in a deep kiss.  One was also sparing
enough attention to spank Reed's blood-red pussy, causing the woman to
jerk each time she was hit.  Even though she was unrestrained, and the
slaps were pretty hard -- judging by the sound -- Reed made no attempt
to close her legs.  The man in her mouth groaned, and Finn could see
Reed's throat muscles working as he unloaded his cum right into her
stomach.  He pulled out, still more than half hard, and one of the
girls eagerly took him in her mouth, licking off the strands of saliva
that Reed had left on his shaft.  It wasn't long before she lay on her
back and guided him into her body.

    	Meanwhile, the man who'd been fucking her ass, slid his cock into
Reed's mouth.  She made absolutely no protest, and eagerly began
getting him back up to full hardness.    Rika had made her way to the
third man, and was happily cleaning the remains of his and Reed's sex
juices off his hardening cock.  It wasn't long before she was able to
offer him her sleek little ass, which he slid into quite easily.
Watching the slim, tanned girl take suck a large cock in her ass,
caused Finn's own cock to twitch.  He really had to get laid, and soon!

    	Rika giggled as she crawled back between Reed's to lick her some
more, dragging the man behind her with his cock lodged in her ass.  The
girl went to town on Reed's pussy, and Finn couldn't take it anymore.
He turned to leave, deciding he wasn't going to tell anyone about this
little window trick.  Reed was going to be embarrassed enough when they
rescued her -- he wasn't going to add to it.

    	He turned down the hall that Alexa had taken, and met her coming
toward him.

    	"Did you find anything?" he asked.

    	"Dead end," she replied, her voice a bit husky.

    	Finn wondered if she'd found the same kind of 'dead end' he had.

    	"Me too," he replied.  "Let's go see if Wilds had better luck."

    	They headed down the corridor that Wilds had taken, only to find
her coming back toward them.

    	"Don't tell me," he said, "dead end?"

    	She nodded, her eyes bright even in the dim light.

    	"Great," he said.

    	They sat down for a few minutes to decide what to do.

    	"We can try and sneak through the front," said Finn, "but I'm
thinking that even with all the activity out there, we'll be seen.
Especially since we don't exactly blend in."

    	"What other choice do we have?" asked Alexa.

    	"We could just walk into camp tomorrow," said Wilds.  "They don't
look like their hostile or spoiling for a fight."

    	"Maybe not," said Finn, "but while they certainly have taken to
Captain Reed, I'm more then a little leery of being in a situation
where they might get their hands on you two."

    	"I can take care of myself," said Wilds.

    	"I'm not exactly helpless either," added the doctor.

    	Finn was about to protest, but really, they were his team, and if
they couldn't face situations like this together, then what was the
point of being a team?

    	"Fine," he said.  "Let's head out of here, then go into the main
camp in the morning."

    	"We could just stay here," said Alexa.

    	"That might not be our best plan," said Wilds.

    	"But nobody's used these halls in forever," said Alexa.  "I doubt
they even know they're back here."

    	"Let's not take the chance," said Finn.

    	The team went back to where Alexa had found the door, and waited
while she opened it.  Even after watching her, Finn doubted that he
could duplicate the complex series of actions she used to get it to
open.  After making sure that no one was around, they snuck off into
the woods.  There wasn't that much time before dawn, but Finn figured
six hours of sleep (well, four after each person took a watch) couldn't
hurt.  After seeing the level of late night activity in the camp, he
rather doubted anyone there would appreciate an early morning wakeup
call from a bunch of strangers.

    	He took the mid watch, which was the hardest of them since he only
got two hours of sleep on either side of his watch.  Not that he slept
much anyway.  Visions of doing all kinds of interesting things to the
Captain danced in his head, keeping him erect on and off for most of
the night.  He wished he could take care of things, but that wasn't
going to happen.  Sometimes having a high sex drive was a curse.  He
was awake when dawn broke, willing yet another erection to go down.  He
rolled over wanting to go for that last few minutes of sleep before it
was time to face the day.

    	"C'mon Finn," said the Major.  "You may as well just get up.
You've been awake for the last half hour anyway."

    	He rolled over and looked at her form, still dim in the early
light.  She had a slight smile on her face and he wondered what she was
so cheerful about.

    	"I guess you're right," he sighed.  "I gotta piss anyway."

    	He grabbed his gun and went a few yards away from camp.  His cock
was too hard to piss though.  Looking around, he decided to just take
care of things so he could relieve the pressure in his bladder.
Considering how worked up he was, it took only a short time for him to
cum, squirting his discharge onto the forest floor.  Finally, his dick
softened long enough for him to piss, which was a whole different kind
of relief.  He returned to camp.

    	"Take care of things?" asked the Major.

    	He knew she couldn't have any idea that he'd been jerking off, but
he wondered anyway.

    	"Yup," he smiled, rooting for an MRE in his pack.

    	He wasn't overly excited about eating, but one never knew when one
would get to eat during an op.

    	"You need to use the woods?" he asked, not looking up.

    	"I relieved myself earlier," she said.  "But I'll be happy to go
pee now.  Be right back."

    	He looked up in surprise, meeting her gaze.  It was completely
innocent and she cocked an eyebrow at him as she walked off into the
woods.  What in the hell was going on with that woman?

    	He went to wake up Alexa, and almost got stabbed for his trouble.
Somehow, a sharp knife materialized in her hand just as he went to
touch her.  _Then_ her eyes opened.

    	"Hey, take it easy," he said.  "It's just me."

    	"Oh," she said, her eyes bleary, "m'sorry."

    	She rolled out of bed, looking very sexy for someone who'd been
sleeping under a tarp the entire night, and stumbled off into the
woods.  Finn heard someone coming back, and stepped behind a tree,
holding his pistol, but it was only Wilds.

    	"So," started Finn, a while later, "I guess we just take a walk
into camp today?"

    	His two companions nodded.

    	"What happens if we have to go native?"

    	Alexa looked puzzled.

    	"He means go topless," translated Wilds.

    	To his surprise, Dr. Shaw shrugged.

    	"If that's what it takes to get the Captain out of there," she
said.  "No one's gonna be looking at me anyway."

    	Both Wilds and Finn stared at the beautiful woman as she tried to
open an MRE with her teeth.  The fleeting thought that sometimes the
packaging tasted better went through Finn's mind.  He couldn't help but
wonder what Shaw tasted like, and was sure it was better, if not as
filling, as an MRE.

    	"Uh, right," was the only think he could think of to say.

    	Wilds just started chuckling.

    	She looked up at him, her deep green eyes wide.

    	"What?" she asked, "did I say something funny?"

    	Once again, Finn and Wilds shared a look, asking if Alexa could be
that sexually innocent.  It didn't seem likely, not with a body like
that, but you never knew.  According to her file, she was only
twenty-two.  This was the first time he'd done the math, but she'd
spent seven years in college.  He'd only had two years, but it did seem
a bit odd that someone had managed a doctorate, from MIT, in only seven
years.  Thinking about it now, she must have entered college when she
was something like sixteen.

    	"Well, it's for sure no one will be looking at me, so maybe
that'll give us an advantage," he said.

    	They planted some of what was in their packs, including an extra
weapon each, in the woods, carefully protected and camouflaged.  The
cache was placed so that if they had to run in a hurry on their way
back to the Gate, they'd be able to stop and get some weapons and food.
 Then, they headed down the path toward the camp.  This time, they
found a better way down, since it wasn't pitch dark.  Finn made sure
everyone could find it, since being pursued by angry natives while
trying to climb a cliff was a sure recipe for disaster.

    	They were spotted as they approached the camp, but no one seemed
more than mildly curious about them.  There were no hostile shouts, and
no one sprang to the attack.  Not knowing what else to do, Finn was
about to approach one of the guards in a sort of 'Take me to your
leader' gambit, when one of the two girls who'd been playing with Reed
approached them.

    	"Greetings, strangers," Rika said, bowing slightly.  "What brings
you to Festival?"

    	Deciding that they'd get nowhere by lying, Finn said, "We are
looking for one of our team mates."

    	"Oh, you search for a mate?" she asked, with a frown.

    	"No, our team mate," corrected Finn.  "She was brought here by
accident."

    	Rika, who, now that he could see her close up, looked to be about
sixteen, glanced at Wilds.

    	"Yes," said Wilds, "she has hair just like mine."

    	The girl's eyes widened, then she lowered her face.

    	"This is not for me to speak of," she said.  "You must come with
me and speak with the Chief of our tribe."

    	"What?" asked Alexa, a bit angrily.  "You know she's..."

    	"Doctor," said Finn, "that's enough.  Let's go with the nice girl
and see the Chief.  I'm sure once we explain what happened, we'll be
able to get Reed and be on our way."

    	"Nice girl?" Wilds mouthed at him, as the girl started to walk
away.  Finn shrugged.

    	They followed the girl through the crowds toward the temple
entrance.  Now that he was in the op, Finn wasn't distracted by all the
attractive female flesh around him.  Nice tits were not enough to get
killed over.  The temple was surprisingly cool when the got inside.
These past few days, the weather had gotten quite warm, and the
coolness was welcome.  They eventually entered a large, but not huge,
chamber which, unlike the halls, was quite warm.  It was hung with
beautiful tapestries and there were quite a few people there.  Reed was
there as well, on a stage with three other women, only one of which was
free to move around.

    	Finn examined Reed with an eye to trying to get her out of here
quickly.  From the looks of things, that wasn't going to happen.  She
couldn't even see him, since there was a blindfold covering her eyes.
She couldn't speak either, since her mouth was once again plugged with
the white phallus.

    	Reed had been tied to a post that was bent like a C, with her back
arched and her legs pulled toward her head.  She'd been tied in
position with her ankles and thighs thighs spread wide, with ropes that
attached to cross bars that were part of the C.  More rope constricted
her middle and been tied off, and each breast had something clamped to
a nipple.  The clamps had been pulled to an overhead bar making her
firm breasts into cones.  Her arms were pulled over her head and tied
there, helping the ropes around her middle keep her affixed to the C.
There was a rope around her neck as well, which kept her from moving
her head much.  Her body was soaked from sweat, no doubt the strenuous
position taking a major toll on her.

    	Rika's sister was on the stage and occasionally used a thin cane
to whip the bottom of Reed's breasts.  As he watched, she picked up a
leafy plant by the stem, and rubbed it through Reed's wet, swollen
pussy.  Considering the abuse she'd taken last night, her pussy seemed
to be in pretty good shape today.  Most of the fiery redness was gone.
She did jump though, and give a muffled squeal as the leaves stroked
her bare, opened pussy.  Rika's sister changed her target, and started
whipping the cane hard against Reed's exposed underarms.  Finn winced,
figuring that would hurt more than a little.

    	The other two girls on the stage were faring little better,
although Rika's sister wasn't tending to them -- at the moment, anyway.
 One was on a horse like the one Reed had been on, but her legs were
tied in such as way as to give her pussy no relief.   The same kind of
leaves that were being used on Reed, were peaking from beneath the
woman's pussy.  She was gaged, but not blindfolded, was very small
breasted, and covered with whip marks.  The third girl was in a chair,
and squirming quite a bit.  The chair had no bottom and a large dildo
had been pushed into her hairless pussy.  Each nipple had what looked
like a thick needle pushed through it.  Her arms were tied over her
head, and a dark patch of hair shown under each one.  Finn wasn't used
to that look, but he had to admit it looked pretty erotic.  The final
piece added to her torment, was a pair of candles, which had been
positioned to drip on her small breasts.  Finn figured that the wax
must be pretty hot, since it ran all the way down her body where it
pooled on the floor.  He would have liked to continue to watch the
scene, but there were more important things to do.

    	On a comfortable chair set to one side, sat what could only be the
Chief.  A woman.  Very beautiful, and quite bare breasted.  Each of her
nipples were pierced, and since she was wearing only a short piece of
leather around her waist, he could see almost all the length of her
long, well muscled thighs.  In fact, all of the woman was very well
muscled.  Not manly in the slightest, but quite well muscled all the
same.  Like every other person they'd seen, she had skin the color of
dark tan, and long back hair.  She frowned as SG-6 approached, clearly
unhappy to have to take her attention from the show on the stage.  Her
frown changed to something of a smile as she gave Finn and his
companions a thorough once over.  Finn said nothing, waiting for her to
speak first.

    	"So, Rika," said the Chief, "who have you brought for my
pleasure?"

    	Rika looked nervous, which Finn took as a bad sign.  Subjects who
were nervous around their rulers, made him wonder about the rulers.

    	"Mistress, they are here for the Coyote's gift," said the girl.

    	That brought silence to the room.  Even Rika's sister could be
heard to gasp.  The Chief was silent for a moment, then stood.  She was
quite tall, perhaps only an inch under Finn's own six foot, one inch
height.  Finn tensed just a bit, trying to watch everything around him.
 The woman moved smooth, like a hungry predator.  She stopped in front
of Finn.

    	"I am Orla," she said, "Chief of the Coyote's Tribe."

    	Since an introduction seemed called for, Finn replied.

    	"I'm Major Morgan Finn, leader of my team.  This is Major Colleen
Wilds, and Doctor Alexa Shaw," he said. Then he hesitated but decided
to continue.  "The woman over there, the one with the blind fold, is
also part of my team.  Her name is Captain Lisa Reed."

    	Chief Orla looked at Rika.

    	"He claims her as his mate," she said.

    	"Actually," cut in Finn, "she's my, our, team mate."

    	Orla turned from them and went back to her seat.

    	"I know her name," she said.  "Lisa Reed is the Coyote's Gift.
She is mine."

    	"What?" started Alexa, "you can't ..."

    	"Quiet!" said Finn at the same time that Orla yelled "Silence!"

    	The doctor started as if she'd been struck.

    	"Reed is the Coyote's Gift," Orla said.  "My gift.  By the rules,
you must tell me how losing your mate for a year will damage your
marriage.  She is not with child.  Does she have some special skill you
need to survive?  Or will your hearts wither without her presence,
knowing that she is serving another for the year?"

    	Finn had no idea what to say to that.

    	"We come from far away," said Wilds.  "We are not familiar with
your customs.  All we know is that we were walking on a trail, and
Captain Reed disappeared."

    	"Yet you knew where to come to find her," said Orla.

    	"It was a lucky guess," said Finn.  "But the Major is right.
Perhaps if you told us of your customs, we could work something out.
We don't want to anger anyone."

    	"It is almost time for the midday meal," said Orla.  "We will sit
and eat, and discuss your mate."

    	Finn realized that the Chief didn't realize that team mate, and
mate meant two different things.

    	"Could you at least stop torturing her?" asked Alexa.

    	Finn wished she'd shut the hell up before she got them into
trouble.

    	Orla frowned.

    	"Torture?" she asked.  "We are not hurting her.  At least, not in
any meaningful way.  Reed is made for this type of pleasure.  Her body
craves it.  How could you be her mates and not know her needs?"

    	"We do," cut in Wilds, "we do.  Alexa is only recently joined with
us, and does not know Reed as well as we do."

    	Orla smiled, "It is always a pleasure introducing a new bride."

    	They went to a side chamber, in which was set a long table loaded
with food.  The Chief told them to sit, and a young girl, topless of
course, poured water into the Chief's mug.  Other girls quickly brought
place settings for the team, also filling their mugs with clear, cold
water.  It tasted very good, but left an aftertaste that was odd and
unidentifiable.  It barely registered on Finn's consciousness.

    	"Where are you from that you have not heard of the Coyote's
Tribe?" asked the Chief.  "We serve him best of all the tribes and so
have his favor -- as much as any are granted it."

    	"We are from very far away," said Finn, not wanting to mention
that they'd come through the Star Gate.  Not everyone thought that was
a good thing, and since these people didn't seem to visit it, he didn't
want to complicate things.  "Far enough that we've never heard of the
Coyote."

    	"That must be far indeed," said Orla, taking a bite of a rich, red
fruit.

    	Finn reached for some of the same fruit and bit into it.  It was
very good, far better than the MREs he'd been eating lately, which,
truthfully, didn't take much.

    	"So," he prompted, "you were going to tell us about your
festival."

    	For the next half hour or so, Orla described the festival to the
SG team.  It was a bit odd, but then, it was another planet, so that
was to be expected.  Essentially, it was a Festival where new mating
groups were formed.  People on this planet had four people in each
mating group.  That explained why Finn and his team had been mistaken
as a group with a missing member, rather than what they actually were.

    	"So, people can dissolve their relationships at this Festival as
well?" asked Alexa.

    	"Yes," said Orla.  "It is often the time to find new mates.  I
myself have decided to take two new brides to replace Rika and her
sister Gayla.  It is indeed fortunate that the Coyote has graced me
with a gift, although I'm sure that will disappoint one of my other
potential brides."

    	"There's no man in your group?" asked Wilds.

    	"Of course there is," smiled Oral.  "How can we have children if
there are no men in the group?  Garl is one of our best warriors.  You
will meet him, should you choose the Challenge."

    	"Challenge?" asked Finn.

    	"It is one part of getting your mate back," she said.  "Truly
though, if you leave her with me, I promise she will be well treated
for the year.  I will return her to you, after that."

    	Alexa snorted, "Well treated...."

    	"That's enough, Doctor," said Finn.

    	Then, to Orla, "We really can't do that.  Our... customs don't
allow one of our team members to be given away against their will."

    	"Yes, she was reluctant at first," smiled Oral.  "I can see how
she might be valuable, since she has spirit, as well as other talents.
But she seems all right with her place now, and I assure you, she is
thoroughly enjoying herself."

    	"Be that as it may, we really can't leave her here," said Wilds.

    	Orla nodded.  "The Coyote's Gifts can bring trouble as often as
joy.  That means you will be issuing the Challenge then."

    	"What, exactly, does that entail?" asked Finn.

    	"Your mating group will meet three of my best warriors in battle,
one on one.  You must defeat all of them.  If you do so, then you will
have the opportunity to reclaim Reed."

    	Finn looked started, "So... how is the winner determined?"

    	"When the one yields," she replied, "or is rendered unable to
continue.  But I must warn you, death, or permanent disability will not
be tolerated at the Festival.  If that happens, you will not get your
mate back, but you will be killed."

    	She smiled," After the festival is over, of course.  Life may not
be created and death will not be sanctioned during Festival.  We are
here to find brides, life mates, and to enjoy each other to the
fullest."
    	
    	Great, thought Finn, just great.
