Once her ethnicity was selected, Amanda got to work designing her avatar. She started with giving herself a light tan skin tone. Sleek, black hair that fell halfway down her back. Dark brown eyes with flicks of gold in the iris. Then she worked the sliders to give her body a slightly pear shaped body. Modest breasts, slim waist, and big hips.
Then she added a few decorations. A tattoo of a black stripe from the center of her lower lip to the bottom of her chin. Small golden piercings on the edges of her eye brows. Blush and eyeliner makeup, not much, but enough to accentuate her face.
She confirmed her appearance and the screen faded to black. The next thing she saw was a blind fold being removed from her eyes. Amanda looked around swiftly. She was sitting in a wagon with several other woman. All were wearing thin harem outfits with their hands and feet in chains. Amanda included. The wagon was being pulled by some monsters that looked like bison, and six guards walked along the sides. Further out, there were large dunes of sand in all directions. The woman sitting next to her turned and spoke.
"Hey you're awake!"
"Yeah...what's going on?"
"You don't remember? I don't blame you. That guard hit you over the head pretty hard. I can't say how they got you, but we're being sold as slaves to some rich merchant."
"Keep it down!" a guard yelled. All the women lowered their heads and listened.
Amanda did as well, wondering who would make a start like this. But after a few minutes, the wagon stopped and guards began yelling. They were approaching the walls of an enormous city. Marble walls rose over 200 feet up, blocking the view of anything inside. Amanda guessed it would only take another ten minutes before they reached the gate. She took the chance to view her status.
Then a different wave of shouting came from the side. Amanda turned to see a large group of people on horses racing towards the wagon, brandishing swords. The guards tried to defend, but were quickly over run by the numbers. The driver of the wagon took off, leaving the others behind.
But one of the attackers followed close behind and jumped onto the wagon. It was a woman wearing an egyptian style dress that showed a lot of skin. Pulling out a sword, she started slicing at the chains binding the other woman. Amanda was the last one to be freed before she killed the wagon driver with a single swing.
As it came to a stop, the woman jumped off the wagon and all others followed behind her. In the distance, a large group of guards were charging towards them.
"Quickly, everyone follow me! I can get you into the city safely!" her savior yelled.
"No!" a surviving guard yelled, running up. "Don't listen to this criminal! She will lead you to execution! Stay here with me, and serve your rightful owner! Loyalty shall not go unnoticed!" he argued.
The woman split into two groups, one going with the woman and the other going with the guard. Amanda, realizing she had to make a decision, turned and went to...
