Excerpt
A hush fell ove the crowd as the bull lowered its head and pawed the ground. It lunged forward with a snort and gathered speed until the earth shook. The massive red and white body charged toward the lone figure of a girl standing in the middle of the ring. Her smoothly muscled body remained erect and motionless until the horns of the beast were close enough to touch her. Extending her hands in front of her, she grasped the horns, pulled herself up, over the massive head, and somersaulted to a handstand on its back. Pushing off with her hands, her body formed a graceful arc as she landed lightly behind the bull and into the arms of her male partner. Loud cheers erupted from the crowd.
Dressed for the arena, the bull dancers wore only loin cloths and high laced leather boots. Kira grasped her companion's hand as they trotted to where the king was seated and bowed deeply. Looking up into his smiling face, Kira felt a great sence of pride. With a clap of his hands, the king dismissed them, and the next pair of performers entered the ring.
