The mother

The mother

Rumours said that she wasn't a child of her father at all.

One day she found a portrait of her mother forgotten in a old dusty chest.

She was beautiful.

Who was the artist she didn't knew.

But this small colourful painting stayed for ever in her memory.

Her mother was a foreign woman that her father a Sealord of the great city of Alegria bought from a slave market in the Bay of Slave's six years before her birth in one of his journey's.

He shaw her first time as she was sleeping in a straw mattress inside an open waggon.

Her beauty enslaved him instantly as he said later to his men.

I offered almost four hundred silver coins for her and i didn't even though of it" he had said for that later.

When the slave merchant refused to give her to him because she was already sold to someone else he became furious.

And under his fury became mad this day.

And not for first time.
