At their surprise, a tall knock had been performed by teens. Troubled and hurt, the teenager stood there, the teenager seemed fearless compared to her friend who was shaking her knees, crying for mercy, "Slavers got their family and we barely managed to get away. They will be coming here too!"
The cold teen spoke this time, "Horrible men have conquered Scar County and will stop at nothing to enslave every one of your group. We never should've trespassed on their land."


"Those men are on their way to your camp. If your people don't cooperate they will obviously overrun your safe haven and take everything. And the worst... well... just hope you never have to see them. They're animals. Most of them forgot who they were. They just eat, sleep, fuck, and kill," the young stranger said.
"What's your name?" Hannah asked.
"I can't call it! No one from before even knows I exist... just call me the wanderer, since it's all that I will be doing until I die. If can offer her a place inside your walls for the night, I’m sure she'll be good to go soon. I'm not staying. I'm not staying here. If those evil men show up... don't ever retaliate. They are expanding."
Hannah looked at the young ladies, “They can't be that scary! Of course she can stay here, but where will you be going? You look a lot more roughed up than she is," she stated.
"I'm barely bruised... and I have people counting on me."
"Bring them here, we'll take care of them! Are they all kids too?"
"Enough! They have lost their right to be kids a long time ago! We wander away from miserable adults such as yourselves. However, we fear the master of the land. Very few challenge his men, many have trouble defeating them. The slavers and trackers shield their faces with cloths. After so many lost and horrors, our eyes have forgotten how to cry." the exotic teen mentioned before vanishing into the night.
Hannah looked everywhere, calling the young woman, "Please comeback we aren't a threat to you!" but there was no more signs of her. "Please show this youngster her place for tonight... I’ll be in my tower." she bellowed to one of the settlers, "Have some rest. You are safe with us. I will see you in the morning." she told the hurt child.
