A few days had passed since our arrival on the strange world.
I learnt that the nation we were in was called Lanceberg and Ueel and Luna, the woman under his care, were actually a couple.
They agreed to let us sleep in their barn where they kept their chickens and although Adia absolutely hated it in there, we had no choice and so he eventually stopped complaining.
It looked like Ueel's land wasn't doing so great.
He would often go out into the fields with a sad expression and once every few days, some of his friends would come by with some food they cold spare.
I often found myself flipping through Ueel's book and even though I'd made little progress in learning the language of this world, I slowly pieced together some of its history.
A cataclysmic war once engulfed the land and I think dragons really did once fly across the skies.
Unfortunately, a lot of the book's pages had been torn off, so I only had the part from the building of the two kingdoms to the eventual victory of the armies of Lanceberg.
I closed the old book and glanced at Adia who slept with his head rested on my shoulder.
Ueel and Luna didn't have much food, but they always insisted that we join them for breakfast and dinner.
I wanted to repay him by helping him with some field work, but he always strongly denied my offers and as for Luna… I don't think she liked me that much.
She never allowed me to help with house chores or with cooking.
I sighed before looked at the barn's rickety walls.
I didn't know much about how buildings worked, but with a few nails and boards in the right places, the barn would be much more stable, but since I couldn't clearly communicate with Ueel, I couldn't get the suggestion across.
I gently rubbed Adia's had, but this awoke the boy, who instantly pushed away my hand while rubbing his eyes.
"When are you gonna take me back home?" He asked sleepily.
"I don't know. I don't even know where we are, so I need you to be a little more patient. I'll figure out where this place is and get us back in no time." I said with a gentle smile by Adia simply turned away before resting his head on the wall.
I didn't know what else to tell him.
We were surrounded by acres upon acres of dry land and I couldn't speak a word of the local language. Not to mention my left arm. I wasn't sure if it was broken, but my shoulder ached rather painfully.
.
..
Dinner time eventually came and we fetched our servings of simple potato stew from the farmhouse where Ueel entertained his friends.
They laughed and talked about various things, but just as Adia and I turned to leave, I heard someone say my name, prompting me to stop.
I glanced at the table where Ueel and his handful of friends sat to find them all looking at me.
Ueel made a pained expression, but his friend reached into his pocket and took out a small pouch of what sounded like coins.
He poured the pouch's contents, revealing several silver coins which all had the mark of what I assumed was a full moon on both of their faces.
Ueel looked at the coins before looking at his friend who crossed his arms and grinned with his many yellow teeth.
Ueel then looked at me before taking a deep breath.
He stood up and followed me out of the back door where we stood in complete silence for a moment.
He then turned to face me, his expression still twisted.
He said some things I couldn't understand, but I knew very well what he was talking about.
I placed my hand on his shoulder before gently nodding, but this seemingly tormented Ueel more.
He grabbed my hand and said some more things before deeply bowing.
He stood upright with sorrowful eyes before gesturing towards the barn.
I nodded before entering the bar where Adia had finished eating. Not that he had a lot of food to begin with.
"Hey, Adia. Can you please go help Mrs. Luna with the tidying up?"
"What? Why?"
"Mr. Ueel has asked me to arrange the barn a bit and I'll need room to work. You don't have to help, just stay there for a bit."
Adia's eyes narrowed.
"Tsk. Fine. Tell me when you're done." He said before leaving the barn.
I then took several deep breaths in am attempt to calm my beating heart and it wasn't long before the silence of the barn was replaced by footsteps.
I turned around to find Ueel's friend. He too was a farmer. His clothes were simple and extremely worn. His skin looked far less rougher than Ueel's, since he looked a few years younger.
Unlike Ueel, the younger farmer had long blond hair and dark grey eyes that keenly crawled across my body.
I grabbed one of the few blankets Ueel had so kindly given us and placed it on the inner parts of the barn, where the young farmer followed me.
I then unbuttoned my now dirty uniform and the farmer gasped aloud.
He said various things before seemingly remembering that I couldn't understand him.
He approached me as I removed my bra revealing more of my brown skin and rather small breasts.
He then wrapped his bony arms around my waist and I held my breath as he smelled my skin.
He forcibly made me face the wall before lifting up my dressed and roughly forcing my panties down.
I closed my eyes as his dry penis touched my butt and I bit my teeth as he forced it towards my vagina.
I spread my legs ever so slightly and he finally entered me, his legs shaking and his breaths frantic.
He let out loud groans and moans while awkwardly moving the his hips back and forth, although he made no efforts in thrusting very far.
It was long until his legs buckled and he pressed his hips onto my butt as semen poured out of him.
He then pulled his penis out before stumbling away.
I didn't turn to look at him as he loudly panted.
He then said some things before leaving, but all I could do was press my head against the wall.
Left alone in the darkness of the bar I thought about how this place was no different to Unity.
Only in Unity, my body was sold for far less.
"Zuri?"
I heard Ueel call.
I turned around to find him standing with a bucket and a towel in hand.
His face still twisted in agony.
He nervously approached me before offering me the bucket of water.
I noticed that he was avoiding looking at me.
I looked down to find that my dress was still raised.
"Oh." I sounded before lowering it.
I then accepted the bucket while Ueel seemingly apologized.
I didn't know what he was apologizing for.
Was he sorry for allowing his friend to use me as an outlet for his lust or was he upset that he couldn't refuse the offer?
I supposed having to feed two extra mouths was no small task.
I placed my hand on his before raising it.
"It's OK." I said, only for his face to twist even further.
But, just as I thought he was going to apologize again, he took a deep breath, stood up and left the barn without saying a word.
I sighed before completely removing my panties and dress before washing away the semen that stuck to my legs and vagina.
I then slipped back into my clothes before making my way to the house to find that Ueel and his friends were gone.
My eyes then landed on Luna who stared at me with a strange expression as she stood in the kitchen with a candle in hand.
I looked at Adia, who sat on a small stool in the corner where he dozed off.
"Adia." I called, prompting the boy to fully awaken.
"Come." I said before leading him back to the barn where he plopped onto our makeshift bed before sleeping.
I, on the other hand, stared at the barn's dark walls as the minutes ticked by.
I didn't know what to do, where to go or anything.
I wished better for Adia.
Maybe if he had come to this strange world with his father, they'd have been better off.
But I shook such thoughts away.
I couldn't image a world where he and I weren't together and so with that in mind, I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
.
..
The next day arrived painfully since I hadn't slept at all.
Ueel's head peeped into the barn and he called me over.
I stood before joining him outside the barn while Adia slept and like the night before, he apologized.
However, he also gestured toward a small path just near his house.
Did he want to take me somewhere?
Ueel placed his hand on his chin after seeing I still couldn't understand him and so he gestured toward barn and said Adia's name a few times.
I wondered if he wanted me to notify Adia that I was leaving.
I nodded before returning to the barn where I gently awoke Adia.
"Mmm?"
"I think Mr. Ueel wants to take me somewhere. Hopefully I'll be able to learn more about this place."
"OK." Adia said sleepily.
"We should be back before long." I said before standing to leave.
I exited the barn to find Ueel only he had a straw hat on his head.
He gestured that I follow him up the path and thankfully, the shoes I had were sports shoes, so walking long distances wouldn't be a problem.
.
..
After hours of walking in the heat of the day, we eventually arrived at a small town which Ueel call Henela.
It was made up of a single street and had many rickety wooden buildings, one of which Ueel led me to.
Many of the townsfolk gave me strange stares, but I tried my best not to be bothered by it.
Ueel exchanged some words with a person I assumed was a butcher.
The two delighted in energetic banter while I inspected the shop.
It was a nice little place with cuts of dried meat handing here and there.
I then heard Ueel say my name and so I turned to face him and saw that he was receiving a cut of meat in exchange for a few silver coins.
The butcher nodded for some reason.
The two eventually completed their transaction and we promptly left the shop to find that there was quite a bit of commotion in town.
Ueel and I watched curiously as a sizable crowd gathered at the town's centre.
We approach the crowd to find a tall figure clad in silver armour at its centre.
He was resting on the rim of a fountain in the middle of town and based on the dirt that covered his armour, I could tell he was tired.
People loudly talked among each other while keeping enough distance to give the knight some peace.
He sat with his arms crossed and had his lead lowered.
Ueel said some things and I think he was commenting on the state the knight was in.
We eventually left the town and I couldn't help but listen cluelessly as Ueel spoke.
He seemed really fascinated by the knights and I could see he was happy there was someone he could talk to about them, even if I couldn't understand.
