"So here I am. Away from my family. Away from my land. In this unknown trading vessel. Who knew something like this would ever happen? Who knows what will happen to me later? Oh God, please bestow your kindness upon me and help me out of here. Amen."

Anna Lena grumbled under her breath while whimpering softly in a corner. She was currently present on a trade vessel which was heading to Asia. The vessel was moving a group of slaves from distant lands to Asia. These slaves were from sold off to them by slave merchants. But why was Anna here?

Anna Lena Odysseus was a charming and delightful girl who lived in Tinos, a beautiful Island situated in the Aegean Sea. She was born into an orthodox Greek family. Her family consisted of her mother, father and a younger sister. They lived in a plain house at the edge of a simple village. Their family led a peaceful and happy life.

Her father was an orthodox priest. He was a kind, generous and loving person. Her mother was a full-time house wife. She had a quite persona but was very emotional and had a spiritual approach towards situations. Her sister was a cheerful young child who had the ability to bring a smile on everyone's face.

Anna Lena was a beautiful and friendly girl. She was gifted with so much beauty that people used to envy her for it. Her light brown hair, her deep blue eyes and her pink plump lips were enough to captivate people. Her most prominent characteristics included kindness, fondness and most of all, her cunning-ness, which was her deepest strength. But as the saying goes 'Strength comes with flaws' she was too good to think bad of other people.

Her love for nature was displayed through her affection towards wood land. She was usually found sitting under the giant oak tree, singing lullabies to baby goats or sheep, or galloping with her horse on the cliff side enjoying the sea breezes. She was her father's favorite and adored her family.

On a fine spring day, while Anna was sitting under the gigantic Oak tree, she heard screams impending down from her village. She ran down towards the village but just as she was nearing the edge of it, an arm pulled her away. It was her Father, alongside her family. " 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉'𝓈 𝒽𝒶𝓅𝓅𝑒𝓃𝒾𝓃𝑔, 𝒟𝒶𝒹?"Ana remarked fearfully. "𝒜 𝑔𝓇𝑜𝓊𝓅 𝑜𝒻 𝓇𝓊𝒻𝒻𝒾𝒶𝓃𝓈 𝒽𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝒶𝓇𝓇𝒾𝓋𝑒𝒹 𝒶𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝑜𝒶𝓈𝓉." Her father replied. "𝒮𝓁𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓉𝓇𝒶𝒹𝑒𝓇𝓈." Her mom added. "ℳ𝑜𝓂, ℐ'𝓂 𝓈𝒸𝒶𝓇𝑒𝒹." Her younger sister uttered while gripping on her mom's hand tightly. "ℬ𝓊𝓉 𝒟𝒶𝒹, 𝒲𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝒶𝒷𝑜𝓊𝓉 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓋𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓇𝓈?" wearing a worried expression on her face. "𝒟𝑜𝓃'𝓉 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓇𝓎 𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹," her father said trying to calm her down "ℐ'𝓋𝑒 𝓈𝑒𝓃𝒹 𝒶𝓈 𝓂𝓊𝒸𝒽 𝓋𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒶𝑔𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝒶𝓈 ℐ 𝒸𝒶𝓃 𝓉𝑜 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝒸𝒽𝓊𝓇𝒸𝒽 𝓌𝒾𝓉𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝓃𝓊𝓃𝓈. 𝒯𝒽𝑒𝓎 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝒷𝑒 𝓈𝒶𝒻𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓇𝑒. 𝒴𝑜𝓊 𝑔𝓊𝓎𝓈 𝑔𝑜 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒽𝒾𝒹𝑒 𝒾𝓃 𝒽𝑒 𝒷𝒶𝓈𝑒𝓂𝑒𝓃𝓉.

Her mom said gripping onto her arm. " 𝒷𝓊𝓉...." Ana was interrupted by a gunshot sound in distance.

"𝒪𝒽 𝑔𝑜𝒹....."
