I opened to my love

but he had slipped away.

How I wanted him when he spoke!

I sought him everywhere

but could not find him.

I called his name

but he did not answer.

Song of Solomon

Vulcan is slowly emerging from its barbaric ways. The reformed Vulcans of Surak and the Vulcans of the old ways have had an uneasy truce for decades, but war has finally broken out. James Kirk and his family were captured and sold to a Vulcan when he was a child, and has grown up on Vulcan. He will fight along side of the reformed Vulcans to keep his freedom and to prevent becoming the slave of a sadistic Vulcan.

Now added chapter 4 some amazing artwork by Elfqueen.

On a Vulcan where Surak's Reforms never happened, the warrior Spock acquires a Human slave.

This story was originally published in 1981 in the print fanzine "The Price and the Prize".

This is my Spock-as-an-Amish-dude story. It was first published in Scattered Stars 8 in1996. I am most grateful to Robin for her support and belief in me, to Jenna Sinclair for her excellent editing skills, to Lyrastar for her amazing computer know-how, and to the movie Witness which was my inspiration.

I’ve made some very minor changes from the zine version.
