They are slavers, and are gathering a cargo to sell!

The pains hurls Jennai into consciousness, a burning pain on her cheek tells her that someone hit her hard. She tries to focus but everything is spinning. "Idiot", someone says with a harsh voice, "Do you want to spoil that face? If she gets any marks I'll take it off your share."

As a large hand grabs Jennai's face and turns it upwards, she sees a blurry face with something black on the top. Her body feels as if she had been with fever for a long time and the movement of the boat tells her that she is at sea. The face seems to smile as it comes in and out of focus. "You've been out for a long time there, lass, thought we had to feed the sharks with ya. I think I hit you too hard, but after you pierced Bullings like that... Well I weren't about to take any chances!"

Jennai lifted her hand and felt it shake, her own limbs seemed beyond her control. The hand let go of her face and she hit the back of her head when she realized that she couldn't sit up straight by her own. One of the hands returned and caressed her left breasts, it came like a dulled chock to realize that some of her clothes had been ripped off and that she was half naked. Her breast tingled and her nipple stiffened, it seemed like it was the only thing in her body that was warm.

Something nudged her face, and another voice came like in a fever dream. "Open up and be nice to me, and I'll be nice to you. I'll wash you and give you some warm good soup, hell I'll even throw in a blanket."
