More meat was thrown to him and he was left to his own devices, the
awe-struck inhabitants of the palace not even venturing to climb
upon the walls to look at him.
Ja-don led Tarzan and Jane to the quarters of the Princess O-lo-a
who, the moment that she beheld the ape-man, threw herself to the
ground and touched her forehead to his feet. Pan-at-lee was there
with her and she too seemed happy to see Tarzan-jad-guru again.
When they found that Jane was his mate they looked with almost
equal awe upon her, since even the most skeptical of the warriors
of Ja-don were now convinced that they were entertaining a god and
a goddess within the city of Ja-lur, and that with the assistance
of the power of these two, the cause of Ja-don would soon be
victorious and the old Lion-man set upon the throne of Pal-ul-don.
From O-lo-a Tarzan learned that Ta-den had returned and that they
were to be united in marriage with the weird rites of their religion
and in accordance with the custom of their people as soon as Ta-den
came home from the battle that was to be fought at A-lur.
The recruits were now gathering at the city and it was decided
that the next day Ja-don and Tarzan would return to the main body
in the hidden camp and immediately under cover of night the attack
should be made in force upon Lu-don's forces at A-lur.
