Early the next morning the Spartan soldiers were still on the run in search for the girl, when one of the men said
" my lord the men are tired and the horses strength fail, we need rest after the night work and food "
After he had said this, Apollo decided that they should rest and now they were at the verge of mountain and some of the men were instructed to fetch water for the commander Apollo and the others, the men brought waters to their brothers they all drank and washed their faces, some went back down to the river to take bath while some stayed and watched, they morning sun was great over the valley as this men washed themselves and took bath.
Apollo reached out to one of the soldiers sending him back to the king Artaxerxes, to be told of what they had passed through in search of the girl. Immediately he wandered into the mountains heading back to the Sparta.
The men continued In their course to find Eva and the baby, after resting for about two hours,the population of the men had reduced making some of the men doubt if the mission was going to be successful one, some of the men muttered some words to themselves they were lamenting, tired and hungry were they, Apollo heard of what they were saying and he turned back as he grabbed one of the men in the neck whose voice was heard by him, Apollo held the man saying
"only strong and brave men will I lead not cowards who are not fit for honor, we are soldiers and we surviving is what we do, you are not fit to be called a Spartan."
Apollo strangled the soldier, he looked around the hill top, his eyes wide with fright. His skin had turn a pale color, his hair sticking to his forehead as sweat dripped down. Then Apollo stabbed the soldier with a knife, laying his head back slowly looking at the blue sky. Before he closed his eyes for the final time, he smiled and said
"what a beautiful view"
Soon he slipped away into his endless sleep, surrounded by nature.His soul just slipped through his body as he laid there stiff, his heartbeat stopped same as his pulse.the men were gripped with fear seeing what had happened. He commanded them to continue on their search, they all walked through the valley leaving the dead soldiers and no more words were uttered neither were they murmuring in their midst.
During this time Eva being captured and caged as in a deep sleep when a guard in woodland poured water on her, Eva woke up in shock she being drenched with water sat upright in the cage,her hands were still tied her mouth he Been tied also with a cloth.
Beneath the cage was a door which was opened by the men, Eva fell to the ground for her strength had been gone and she was thirsty,looking at the men of woodland who had been instructed to be brought to the middle of the town by the queen, she was at first taken to the palace to meet the queen,by two guards both holding her hands pushing her towards the queen she was made to kneel before the queen. The queen stood up off the throne giving a terrifying look at the young maiden Eva in her hands she had a horn from a bull which was filled with a black Liquid, the liquid was made from blended coal with other stuff mixed with it.
It was he culture of the woodlands to make a sign on the skin of their prey before offering them to Priam the monster which they served, Barbara was the queen called she walked towards where Eva kneeled dipped her hands in the horns which held the black liquid, with her index and middle finger did she mark the face of Eva, who made struggling sounds to get her face off the queen.
" strip her!!!!. " Barbara said
Turning her back against Eva ,as she walked back to her throne. Then her cloths were torn with a knife by one of the guards and the other holding her down. Evado also stood on the right hand of the throne he was on the look out for the nakedness of the girl, she was stripped of her cloth beautifully and pointy did her breast looked like, a young maiden stripes of her glory she was made to be up on her feet and her long hair rested towards the boulevard of her body naked and tainted with her own blood.
Her well toned skin, slender back curved hips and full buttocks were made seen to men, Evado soaked in the sight of naked maiden he viewed her naked body and ample bosom with pleasure. Barbara said to Evado take pointing the horn filled with the black liquid. "Take this and the tradition should be done and she shall be offered o Priam!!!!!" Barbara said this in the language of the woodlands. Eva was taken by the men to a bridge which led to the home of their monster god Priam.
They had two heavy sticks stuck to the ground at the verge of the bridge which usually holds the prey forth sacrifice, Evado walked with the men same as the citizens of woodland who came for the completion of the tradition. Naked did they accompany Eva towards the bridge to be offered at night, the men tied he up with her both hands differently tied with ropes to the erected sticks her mouth were looser but her legs were tied, the horns in which contained the black liquid was held by Evado in front of the girl did the men each after the other dipped there hands to the black liquid and made a sign on Eva , they did this in an orderly manner some painting her face while most her stomach, her breast, her back and every parts of there body Eva cried aloud and her voice echoed over the mountains.

He was taken into a chamber where she kept different sculptures made from wood , altar where the woodlands children were normally baptized in a water, which was called "the water of Rigel".
At the time Hugo was dipped and brought out of the water which was kept in a very big vessel wide enough to contain a sleeping human.
She smiled and gazed at the baby who had blue eyes as of a twilight of the day, she gave him a mark on his forehead which signifies that his one of them.
The people of woodland continued their torment on Eva still making marks on her body with the black liquid. Again they beat drums and sang like animals , Evado being the only one to communicate with Eva told her
