The dimly lit lounge hummed with low voices in his head occasional clink of glasses beginning to lessen. He came from a place where shadows seemed to be alive. The place he finds himself is quite peaceful with sunny daylight. The sun burning with blazing fire and the place is hot as 56 degrees.

 "Where on earth am I?" -The Black Shadow murmured.

These places look strange. He finds himself in the middle of a desert. He has a rug on his body. He feels strange. What happened with his body? He feels bit strange. His hands are firm and muscular, arms have big muscles with big veins. His feet are also big and muscular. He has strong body with big chest. He is over six feet tall with big hair.

My goodness he thought to himself, he is big and have strong muscular body as he has a new life with a new body.

"Where is he! Do he look the same, may be not?" he ask himself.

He does not need glasses he can see very clear far across even clearer than before with the glasses. Although the place is very hot and the sun is just too shiny. He needs to move on.

He needs to find his goal, but first he needs a shelter and he is very hungry. He kept moving he is looking for river or somewhere that has green on wet spot. After walking several miles, he finds a strange place that has tent. As the sun is still on he decides to keep himself away.

After several hours the sun is setting down and it is getting quieter in the horizon. He moves closer to these tents. There he finds some camels are resting.

"May be people are inside these tents. I better look inside"- He told himself.

He moved closer to one of the tents. He picks a closer look. There is one over aged man trying to hump a girl. The girl has vail on her head but her dressed are ripped to make her breasts open. The girl is trying her best to push the old man but the old man keeps grabbing her breasts. He is trying to suck her nipples so hard, but the ignoring the denial of the girl.. She looks barely in her teenage. The old grumpy man is having time of his life, but he is too old as he feels lazy and he lays down aside of the girl.

"It's the right time. I could not watch this poor girl being molest rated this way."- The Black Shadow rushes in to tent with rage.

He throws a heavy punch to the forehead of the old man and the old man fainted instantly spilling blood all over the girl. The girl covers herself with the big clothe and takes a corner of the tent.

"Don't worry. I would hurt you."- says the black shadow grabbing the fruits on the table in to his mouth.

These are grapes, bread, meat and milk. Then he starts eating food. The girls looked as if she is very afraid, she was in pause. As if the girl is still unaware of her next move.

The black shadows look at her although her body and face are mostly cover but he could say she is hardly eighteen, skinny but she is very beautiful. She is a very beautiful Arab woman to have olive skin tone, large almond eyes and over all prominent features in a soft way.

The Black shadow checks the heartbeat of the old man, seems the old bastard is dead with one strike. The old man must have made this young girl slave and trying to take advantage he thought. Suddenly a strange voice appears in the back of the tent.

"Amina, Amina are you done?"

Well wait a minute, someone is calling this girl by her name in Arabic, then how could he understand her! Well with a new heavy body, Black shadow has also learns new language, good he thought to himself. 

"Amina, quick, go tell the other the other girl that everything is fine here, don't worry. I will not hurt you."-The Black Shadow speaking soft Arabic word the girl. 

Amina probably understood him and went outside talking with other women. Although the girl is speaking very quietly but he could hear her saying,

"Malik our master is dead. One man looks like a prince. He suddenly comes out of nowhere, he seems to be very strong and he has a big muscular body. He killed our master with a single blow mercilessly."

Immediately hearing that the other girl shouted- "Help! Intruder. Guards alert!"

Suddenly five to six men with naked sword appears form the other tents, one of them even has a spear in his hand. The guy with the spear is huge! He is close to seven feet tall and he is an African.

All these guards began to attack Black Shadow. The air was filled up with the slashing sound of the blazed as the guards started to Swing their swords at the Black Shadow.

The Black Shadow was very agile with his technique as he avoids the swing of the swords, the he gives a deep kick to the belly of a guard.

The kick hit the guard as a big roler in his belly then the guard caught big punch to his mouth from Black Shadow. The hit was like he was hit with a big pile of rock! Instantly the hit knocking the breath out of him.

"Poor fellows. Rest in peace, you pitiful souls. Your soul will be mine."- The Black Shadow clenched his teeth. Expecting more counter attack in return.

The Black Shadow eyes widens. The playful air vanished. His gaze shifted towards the other guards. He shouted at them, "Go back, or I will not show any mercy." 

The other guards tried to rip him apart and oven one of them almost had a small cut to his body but immediately he took one sword and cut the other guards into pieces like a wild lion. Then the Black Shadow jumped into the midair and kicked the other two guards in dirt.

"Stay down hunter. You don't know who are you messing with. I have killed many like you even the dead are afraid of me."- The huge Black African guy told Black Shadow while his gaze was fixed on the Black Shadow.

This guy is probably an Nigrian, African, has fought many battles before in his life. He has simply no fear of death.

The huge black African guy threw his spear with power aiming at Black Shadow but he was quick to avoid the attack.

The Nigerian guy then gave a powerful punch to the face of Black Shadow. It hit Black Shadow like a brick hit directly at his face. Chunk of blood split from the nose of Black Shadow.

The African guy smirk got back in his face as he tightened his sword and said, "You are too slow for me."

Well this Nigerian guy is very strong but it will not disrupt the motion of Black Shadow.

"The play time is over."

Then he began to attack the African guy continuously with the spear. The big Nigerian guy tried to defend but his sword broken into pieces. The he got hit like thunder in his face from the Black Shadow. He was very strong but not strong enough take couple of punches from Black Shadow.

The Black Shadow looked calm with eye targeted at the Black African guy. His lips twitched, he had a smirk in his face. He said, " Bring it on!"

The Nigerian big guy picked up a sword and strike a heavy blow at Balck Shadow and he misses. Then Black Shadow garbs his sword and stikes it on the body of the huge African guy and rips it into two pieces.

The Black Shadow murmured, "Another soul departed."

There was blood all over the places. The other women began to shout at Black Shadow-

"Stop you devil. Stop in the name of the Holy God!"

The Black Shadow said to her with a soft voice,

"I assure to you that, no harm will come to both of you girls. You both are safe with me"

The Black Shadow turned away.

All in a sudden the other women attacked Black Shadow with a knife, she pieced a knife into the belly of Black Shadow. The Black Shadow grapes her and took the knife from his belly and pushed it into the breast of the women.

The women died shouting- "You will not live. Evil. You will also die."

Black Shadow hold his belly it was a big hole made by the knife. There has been a big rip and blood are coming rapidly from his belly.

The young girl, Amina holds him gently and lay him down to the ground and whispered,

"Just stay here. I am coming back, I won't let you to die like this."

The Black Shadow was losing lots of blood also his whole body was becoming green. His eyes begun to close as he could sense that a very young girl, Amina was trying to hold her. Her voice was very unclear.

Amina was saying, "Drink, drink it quick."

It was like he is hallucinating. For a moment he thought Jenny has taken him to her lap and Jenny is giving some sweet honey him to drink.

"He said Oh Jenny! You know, I Love you."
