She looked at the other girls, and knew that today would be the beginning of a new life for each of them. Each girl had been prepared: bathed, her skin perfumed, her hair brushed a thousand times, kohl to accentuate the size and shape of her eyes, her lips and cheeks rouged, and each was looking so beautiful, if sad. Mysah was scared.
They were indentured girls, about to be sold at auction to the person with the most gold coin. Mysah;s father had explained it. Last year he had borrowed money, for seed for the crops, and for breeding stock, but the rains had come late, and the crops had withered and died in the fields. Yes he had the few cattle, but they were needed to provide for her brother. He was training to be a powerful warrior, and all the family's megre resources were being pumped into that. Once he was part of the Caliph's personal guard, he would be able to provide the necessary doweries for his sisters when they came of age, and to support his parents in their old age.
Men had come, demanding payment, or, the collatoral which had been set against him, his second eldest daughter. Her exquisite beauty, and petite, yet full breasted stature had fetched a higher loan than her older sister.
The family required her sacrifice, her father said, as unshed tears shone in his eyes. If she was unwilling then their only alternative was for Father to kneel before them, offering his head. But without him, they could not work the farm adn the entire family would perish.
It was an honourable sacrifice. She had bid her family farewell, and accompanied the guards, travelling three weeks to reach the rich slave markets of the Sultan. Today all would be sold. For some, the future held a life of servitude. For others a life as wife and mother, and for a very select few, life held a future as a sexual plaything for a wealthy man.
It was her turn. She had day dreamed through the bidding. She walked onto the dais, her long ebony hair shimmering in the sunlight, clasping her hands before her. Her eyes, large and dark were downcast, unable to look up, and with a flurry, the bidding commenced.
