SSARG: III Planet of Gray Dawn (The Camp
and the Saneyhs Chapter #7)
Chapter Seven
The Camp and the Saneyhs
?I had a few abrasions on my arms and front legs, nothing real bloody, so
I paid attention to the stranger more than to my would, the Leopard Man, as
he and his tribesmen tried to comforted me with some chemicals he squeezed
out of a planet, cactus like, which seemed to close my wounds up quickly,
numbing them in the process.
?Night seemed to be coming on, and the Leopard King offered me his
hospitality. I accepted, lest I go back on my own, and have to worry about
other predatory animals or groups of people as the Jawbones.
The Leopard Men, brought me into their cave-camp area of sorts, where
there were several caves in the lower part of the cliffs, the cliffs being
in a kind of a horseshoe circle, with a fire in the center part or the plaza
like ground area about twenty yards from the caves; here and there were
children and women going about their business, fetching water from a nearby
creek, attending to an assortment of duties, and chores; and I noticed an
animal, likened to an earth dog but not quite, it had six legs, the back two
had double legs grown together; no tail but a stub, an inch or two long,
perhaps a hundred pounds or so; they stood up about three feet high when on
all six legs. They had cat like eyes, yellow with two thin black strips
alongside a small black dot in the center of the eyeball.?
(We must remember, the cuts or wounds on Siren, she got from her previous
fight, would normally kill a normal human being on earth, or put them in a
hospital for a while.)
Saneyhs
Siren mentioned, they were all around her, in the camp, all around
everything, everyone, everywhere, these dog like creatures, they were called
Saneyhs, or Saneyh, for a single creature. They were wild looking, with
large saber teeth gawking always, laughingly gawking, or snarling, with big
bulging eyes.
