“Before becoming a slave, Aziz, what kind of person were you?” you ask.



Slowly, word by word, Aziz tells you his origins. He was raided by the Sultan's army from the western desert region when he was only ten, too young to understand; his height saved him from being chosen for the palace by the Sultan’s eunuchs, thus barely retaining his male dignity.

“I remember my father had five hundred camels, my mother was the most beautiful woman near the oasis, arms full of bracelets.”



He still speaks slowly, but his gaze shifts, seemingly looking at the moon, “When I wanted roast lamb, they let me choose from the flock. I knew which was the best meat, and I only ate the best. Sultan’s army would kill all sons of the leader, so when they came, my mother had me swap clothes with the maid’s son.”



What happened afterwards needs no further words. He ended up in the capital, and your steward chose him from the slave market. The vicissitudes of fate are truly moving. You sigh gently and look at Aziz again, feeling that this slave has somehow changed – the pride of old has seemingly returned to his body.
