On the route, they came across some groups of slaves sellers, with some slaves with them, immediately one of the merchant, Whose name is "Kadamir" stop the traders, and plump down from his camel and step forward to the slaves, he took a look of the slaves. Shaking his head With deep breathe and honest sights. He gently ask.
"Please may i know the price of your slaves?" Kadamir asked,curiously.
"Which one,sire?" The slave master asked,politely.
The young lady! Kadamir Said.
The slave seller replied by saying. Oh the young lady behind.
Yes; kadamir answered.
She is not for sale, the slaves seller replied!
The other young merchant who seem to be kadamir brother drop from his horse with a sword on the side of his cloth and came close to them. And asked why?
The slave man replied cause i don't want to.
But you must have a big and good reason why you don't want to sale this young lady to us, kadamir Said
Yes because she is special to me, you can't afford her price. Said the slave man.
The slave seller intend to keep the young lady with him, to be his mistress, so that he will do what ever he wish to.
With sudden, kadamir brother ask him.
How do you know? With a smile on his face.
As young as you people are you don't have enough wealth to pay for this girl. the second slave seller replied.
Kadamir quietly said, but you haven't told us her price, to know if we can afford to pay.
Because i don't have to, said the slaver seller
They took hours exchanging words, but still the slave seller refuses to give away the price of the young slave lady Who seem to look beautiful with her name
"Fatima". But the slave seller refuses to give away the lady. This drew the attention of Kadamir brother to feel very uncomfortable with the action of the slave sellers over the young lady. And he also saw how the young lady was very somber and testy, when he look at her.
Kadamir and his brother Kashmir are well trained fighters. And used that advantage to raid over the slave sellers and killed them all. It took just five minutes to finished them .
The Slaves were very shock when watching, how the action goes. They stand two meters away with chains on their necks.
It okay, you are all now free ! Kashmir said, intending to touch Fatima (the young slave).
She was weak and very exhausted, tired, testy and hungry. Kashmir intend to offer her drink, And unfortunately she was unconscious.
The other slaves are very happy to regain their freedom, But sad, the thing is that how are they going to cross back home, they look so grimly. Kadamir look at the desert and poignant to them. And decided to say, We are all going together.
And their journey continues to a city in the Nile region known as center of trade and civilization Misra (Egypt).
