He then placed his torch in an iron rack, projecting from the wall. On an iron table, to the right of the rack, there was a flat box. Lie on your right side, exposing your left thigh, he said. Yes, Master, I said. From the box he then took a small, curved knife and a tiny, cylindrical leather flask. I gritted my teeth, but made no sound. With the small knife he gashed my left thigh, making upon it a small, strange design. He then took a powder, orange in color, from the flask and rubbed it into the wound.” Explorers of Gor page 330
