This is the second part of The Sultan Series! please enjoy it! :)

That, was the Longest journey in my life, The big man we have come to know as Baruch. He was a very intriguing man indeed, one night around a camp fire he told us that he was captured when he was just a young man, where he was shipped off to the ottoman empire in Turkey, he thought it would be the last day of his life when he walked through the ample doors of a place that was unbelievably beautiful, something he has never seen or imagined in his life, it was filled with the most beautiful carpets, and silver vase's where you look filled with all kinds of exotic plants, the floors where so shiny you could see your self clearly on the white marble floors, with a cool breeze flowing. That was the day he lost his manhood and his freedom, but her very soon became the Sultans most trusted eunuch. Several days have passed since that night, and Sofie and myself were both growing stronger and more secure with our surroundings,

We walked in to a big room covered in carpets, and beds,'what is going on here? what are you doing to us?, in the corner of my eye I saw there was several other woman, all dressed in the most beautiful silk clothing,Sofie,'look here, Sofie turned around and she gasped, when seeing the other woman.

I could feel their eye's peering at us while they spoke of us behind their hand's covered in the strangest ink markings, and their language was so difficult, and all of a sudden I longed for my home I longed for France, the smell of fresh croissants and spring mornings.

I was brought back by a sudden nudge from Sofie pushing me forward, and a woman talking to me in my own tongue! She tugged at my hair and turning me slowly, and pointed out that I should join the other woman in the bathroom. I was feeling alone and all of a sudden Sofie joins me,"Sofie Ma Cherie, I am afraid of what might happen next.

They took us one for one into a sauna like marble dome, The ladies scrubbed us from head to toe! My skin go irretated by the feeling of the spunch that they used, my hair got washed and it was then rubbed in with a oil like substance that reminded me of vanilla, for the first time in a very long time I felt like a woman again,

That night all things came flooding back in my dreams the baby that I would have had, my fathers dissapointment, and my mother and sisters tear stained faces. I turned arround and found my self facing a wall a empty wall, and I felt just as empty as that wall.

I awoke with the heat of the sun on my body, and by the laughter of woman and the smell of hot bread,I sat up and found Sofie having a conversation with one of the ladies, Sofie called my over, "Sybel this lady's name is Aysa, she said that we are all concubines for a sultan of the Ottoman palace, I felt confused it has always been whispered what these kind's of men do to a woman,I missed my mother, and my family, and most of all the safety of my fathers home.

All of a sudden The lady from the day before walked in and she ordered us to all stand in a line, while she and 2 other ladies that looked about 14 years old opened a big door, when we steped inside it took my breath away! 

There was all kinds of silk garments all neatly stacked, with matching sandals and jewels with stones that I have never seen before I could hear the other girls gasping as they have entered behind me, I felt like I could possible fit everything my heart desired. The woman called me forward and gave me one look, after that she said to the helpers to hand me a red silk garment embroidered with gold roses, I was in heaven I received my clothes and I was taken to a changing room. As my skin came into contact with the soft silk fabric I imagined my self wearing it for the rest of my life, I came out and they had placed a mirror in front of me, I was shocked I had this sudden urge to be someone I am not familiar with, I had a certain hunger within me to be that woman that every man desired.
