If Sarm were disturbed at finding Misk, whom he thought to have had killed, at his side, he gave no sign to this effect. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter 27, Sentence #123)

I gathered that perhaps this was the culmination of the Feast of Tola, the giving of Gur by the greatest of the Priest-Kings, the First Five Born, save that of that number there were only two left, the First Born and the Fifth, Sarm and Misk. As it turned out later I was correct in this surmise and the moment of the ceremony is known as the March of the First Five Born, in which these five march abreast to the Mother and give her Gur in inverse order of their priority. Misk of course lacked the wreath of green leaves and the chain of tools about his neck. If Sarm were disturbed at finding Misk, whom he thought to have had killed, at his side, he gave no sign to this effect. Together, in silence to human ears but to the swelling intensities of scent-music, in stately, stalking procession the two Priest-Kings approached the Mother, and I saw Misk, first, dip his mouth to the great golden bowl on its tripod and then approach her. As his antennae touched her head her antennae lifted and seemed to tremble and the ancient, brownish creature lifted her head and on her ready tongue from his own mouth Misk, her child, delicately and with supreme gentleness placed a glistening drop of Gur. He backed away from her. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
