ARABIAN SEDUCTRESS

  Four hours later in Adulis.

In one of the bars frequented by sailors and Arabian prostitutes.  It was a boisterous night, sailors and other males were paired up with young women on low-lying chairs and tables. Some Aksum male musicians were on stage with their instruments singing the most popular romantic songs in the capital.

Enock was drunk with one hand holding his fourth or fifth bottle of cheap wine (he had lost count of the exact number) and the other hand was holding a skinny Arabian girl of about fifteen years. She went by the name of Aesha.
