Friends look at this fine young specimen how full bodied and full of youthful vigor-
[Garth is being sold as a slave in the slave market and
watches as the slave master is disrobing a young women before a crowd in the
market place]
Remove your dirty greasy claws from my body –shouts the
spirited young woman
“I swear by the rocks of askalos! Abuse at the hands of a
slave you need to be taught a lesson damn you!”-shouts the slave trader.
No. not you! - Suddenly Garth lunges from behind the slave trader
and grabs his neck in his mighty muscular arms even though he is still
manacled.
Garth hurls the old slave trader in to the crowds who start
shouting “the slave has gone mad””guards…guards”
Garth strikes down a guard with a kick to his solar plexus and
taking advantage of the confusion and chaos grabs the hand of the slave girl makes
a run for it.
“Quickly girl make a dash towards the gate”
“Run girl!” we have almost reached the gates”
Suddenly the gate is blocked by more soldiers-“[we are]
surrounded! Thinks Garth
What is that commotion in the slave market?—asks a female
figure silhouetted inside a palanquin
Queen lilium one of the slaves has struck his masters he
will have his ears cut off surely!
Garth wades in to a group of soldiers and starts throwing
them over his head like rag dolls
Queen lilium is watching Garth’s valiant struggle
“What a splendid animal”
Buy him ianos.. tell the trader..One thousand talon …..Or my
displeasure!@”
“Yes milady “

Meanwhile the slave girl is grabbed from behind by a guard
who holding a dagger to her threatens

Garth- release her, I surrender.
Slave master-[to garth while he is being handcuffed behind
his back.— now I will teach you a lesson for striking your master you dog!
Queen loilium,s emissary approaches-“ he was your slave ,
now queen lilium has baugh him , take this bag of gold coins and let him go.
Garth over hears-“ lilium! The one who wears the firdle wuth

Garth is brought before the queen lilium who wears the jewel
studded girdle.
Lilium – bathe him and put on some clothes on him and bring
him to my chambers.
Garth- llium stop! Buy this girl from the slave trader!
Lilium [furiously] - you slave you dare to talk to me? Do
you know who I am?
Garth- I know she will be more useful than that low life sycophant!
Lilium- ianos buy that girl and put her to work in the
kitchens of the palace
“my name is narisa , thanks for rescuing me from that slave
trader ,how will I be able to you ever?
Garth and the girl whom he rescued are following the
palanquin bearing queen lilium to her palace –
Garth- tell me everything you know about queen lilium
Narissa- she has had many lovers, apart from that I do not
know anything about her.
She chooses thebest and mightiest and when she is bored of

Narissa – so I have work as a maid in the palace kitchen
Garth- you will be helping me as a personal attendant of
lilium
Narissa – why not I am skilled at massage, cosmetics and dresses
but I am only scared of one thing, what that treacherous and dangerous woman
will do with you.
Garth- you are so nice narissa ,let me see what can I do
about your work.
Garth is taking a bath in royal hot bath tub watched over by
two palace sentries who are talking to each other about him
“he is her latest choice, she found him at the slave market.
“Oh she will be tired of him within a week”
Garth is being given a massage by queen’s servants –“what is
all that commotion in the distance, what is happening there?”
He watches a group of sentries throwing a man in to a pool
of boiling water.
“He is lilium’s old lover he is being burnt alive in a fiery
pit, it is a short life enjoy it while you can [Garth is told by masseur
laconically.]
