(Continuation of Nicholas's speech):
After several hours of walking they suddenly stopped in front of a giant wall made of stones full of cracks in all its parts and in its middle a giant wooden door.
A man from Katoran advanced toward the door and knocked on it forcefully.
Then a sound of a person from behind the door was heard asking for a password.
The man began muttering strange words.
The mother did not understand any word he was saying.
The door was opened slowly and the Katorans began pulling her and her people inside the village.
They looked around them to find houses made of stones scattered everywhere and people wearing clothes made from strange skins whose source she did not know.
Some of them were wearing chains and bracelets made from bones while some were wearing bracelets made from small human eyes.
The mother looked toward one of the women to notice that she was holding a strangely shaped bag.
She focused a little on the bag.
Expressions of shock and terror appeared on her face.
It was a bag made from skins of human faces.
Faces with frowning expressions as if they were suffering and in pain.
Her heartbeats accelerated and fear and tension filled her body and one question was circulating in her mind: "What will they do to me?"
The Katorans kept pulling her and her people forward inside the village.
The mother looked toward the citizens from the corner of her eye.
To see them looking toward them with looks of contempt and mockery.
They suddenly stopped in front of one of the doors.
And a man from the Katorans opened it.
For his other colleagues to throw the people of Nerosha inside one after another and they closed the door on them.
The mother remained fallen on the ground unable to move from extreme exhaustion while her feet were trembling strongly.
The mother remained fallen on the ground while tears were falling abundantly from her featureless face.
She did not know what to do, the shocks followed one after another upon her.
Images of her sister's severed head began appearing inside her mind continuously.
While the sadness was increasing slowly in her heart.
Except that suddenly the mother exploded in crying and screaming while she was curled up on herself.

The people of her people kept looking toward her with sadness and pity.
While they were helpless with no power or strength waiting for their unknown fate.
After several minutes the mother slept from the intensity of crying.
One of the women of her people headed toward her and carried her on her shoulders and placed her on one of the poor mattresses that were present.
While looking toward her and sadness controlling her heart as she said inside herself: "How can this little girl bear all this suffering?"
The minutes and hours passed while they were waiting inside that room.
Some of them slept and the others remained awake with frowning faces empty of happiness.
Except that suddenly the door was opened slowly for the same man who killed the mother's sister to enter.
And he said in a loud voice: "Wake up you slaves."
Everyone who was sleeping woke up in terror and looked with eyes full of horror toward him.
He continued his speech: "All the women let them advance outside."
The mother and the other women kept looking toward him in terror while thinking the same thing: "What will they do to us?"
Expressions of anger appeared on the man's face and he took out his black whip and said in an angry voice: "Didn't you hear me or what? I told you get out."
The terror increased in their hearts while they remembered what happened to that woman who fell on the road earlier.
They advanced slowly toward the door and began exiting one after another while their heads were bowed down and feelings of terror controlling them.
They exited completely from the room and among them was the mother.
To be surprised by a group of women waiting for them outside while talking with each other with loud laughs.
The women of Katoran directed their gazes toward the mother and the women of her people with looks of belittlement and contempt.
The man headed toward the women and on his face a light smile saying: "Alright, we have brought them, you can choose the slave woman that you want, and since Lady Regina is the one who paid more, she can choose first."
Regina began looking toward all the women gradually with a face full of confusion.
Except that she pointed toward the girl who fell earlier and said to the man: "I want this one."
The man directed his gazes toward one of the Katorans and pointed toward that woman.
For him to head toward her and drag her by her cuffs forcefully.
Regina turned toward the village and began heading toward it while the Katoran followed her dragging the woman while she was looking toward the mother with looks full of pain and sadness.
The women of Katoran continued choosing the women one after another.
Except that the mother remained alone with one of the ladies.
The man looked toward the last woman and said to her: "This is the last one Lady Narcissa, you can take her."
Narcissa kept looking toward the mother with contempt and anger.
She turned toward the village and began walking angrily toward it for one of the Katorans to come taking the mother toward her.
Nicholas stopped speaking and on his face expressions of sadness.
He took a deep breath and continued his speech: "Alright, I prolonged the talk, I got tired of this."
Expressions of sadness dominated the faces of Jesse and Ethan.
While the stall owner kept looking toward him with pity and said to him in a sad tone: "Alright, no need to continue, I have heard enough."
Silence prevailed over the place while expressions of sadness were on the faces of everyone.
For Joseph to suddenly appear behind Jesse interrupting the silence with a big smile: "Hello guys, I told you earlier that I would pay the price of the soup, why did you pay its price?"
Joseph looked toward them to notice their frowning for expressions of surprise to appear on his face: "What happened? What is the reason for your frowning?"
Jesse tried to hide his sadness with a light smile saying to him: "Nothing man, just sad because we no longer have money to buy more soup."
Joseph sat on a chair and on his face a big smile.
And he placed some cash coins on the table saying: "Give us 4 plates of soup please."
The stall owner headed toward the pot and filled 4 plates with soup and presented them to them.
And Joseph said in an enthusiastic tone: "If you are not full from this there is no need for shyness, ask me and I will bring more."
A light smile appeared on the faces of everyone and the feelings of sadness began disappearing from them slowly because of Joseph's arrival.
Jesse replied to Joseph with a light smile: "Don't blame me if I make you go bankrupt."
Joseph replied to him with a loud laugh: "You can try."
Then everyone began eating.
For their sadness to transform with the passage of time into laughs filling the surroundings.
