This girl, now known as aria, stumbled upon a Gorean web page in error many months ago. Intrigued, she began to read what was meant by Gor. She was surprised to find such a seemingly strict and brutal place where men are, without question, dominant and demanding, where they are Masters who own slaves and of rules that are steadfastly enforced. It's a place where women are submissive, trained, owned and collared as slaves by their Masters. The whole concept of being in such an atmosphere attracted this girl. She felt a pull inside of her, drawing her to this lifestyle. It was a physical yearning to serve, a subconscious knowledge that serving as a Gorean slave is what this girl was born to do. Knowing little of the rules and unable to find the out-of-print books by John Norman that this society is patterned after, she stayed away. She felt she could never know enough or be strong enough to enter into irc Gor without getting herself beaten and banned the first day. She did not want to be perceived as a curiosity seeker or a player and without the knowledge, didn't think she would be taken seriously. Several times, for many months, she would again venture to the web pages to read of Gor, but never had the courage or the knowledge to attempt to enter.

On one such venture to the web pages of Gor she stumbled across the page depicting an Oasis in the Tahari desert of Gor. While the same adherence to Gorean rules and the same respect for Gorean principles and ideas were adamant, there seemed to be an underlying calm and openness, an honesty and sincerity that this girl had never experienced from other Gorean pages. A girl mustered her courage and timidly, humbly, sent an e-mail asking about this place. Throughout the next several weeks a Lady encouraged and helped this girl overcome many obstacles in her attempt to reach irc Gor. On 5/22/98 she finally made the journey.

Arriving on irc Gor for the first time this girl felt incredibly apprehensive. Her stomach was filled with butterflies, her mind raced, her palms perspired. She almost felt in a state of shock...disbelief that she was actually there and felt tremendous respect and gratitude to the owners of this place for allowing her to enter as an untrained, barbaric slave girl from earth. A girl kneeled and watched, not saying much, trying to observe, listen and learn all that she could. She met several Goreans the first day, some Masters, some slaves. Embarrassed to show everyone her total ignorance she didn't say much to those she didn't know. As she kneeled, her mouth was agape and she watched in awe all that she saw.

Slaves serve Masters and Mistresses on Gor. They can serve drinks or food (but not drink or food as is found on earth). The first serve this girl saw was by a sister slave who served kalana (a kind of Gorean wine). The serve was the most beautiful thing this girl has ever witnessed in her life. The slave was submissive and talented in the way she moved her body and went about her serve, collecting the necessary items and actually serving the kalana to the FreePerson. The slave depicted a girl who is comfortable and fulfilled in herself as being slave. Her movements were trained and refined. When the slave's serve was completed, this girl felt overwhelmed at her own lack of knowledge of Gorean customs and ways. There is so much to learn. This girl desires to learn and serve in the true Gorean way. She longs to know of Gorean customs. This girl again felt overwhelmed at the good fortune that befell her at being allowed to enter this channel untrained and barbaric as she is.

The owners of this place have given this girl a gift she will never be able to repay with her humble insignificant serves. The gift is allowing this girl to enter their home, which is a tremendous gift in itself, but to allow this girl to be under their tutelage, scrutiny and training is more than this humble slave girl can fathom.

A girl has been told she is too new to take a collar although she begged a channel collar. She was told to pay attention to her studies of this lifestyle, be sure this is what she wants, to visit other places on ircGor and interact with others. This she will do, she already feels her slave-belly and desires nothing more than to serve.
