Feferi was dragged with the guards holding onto her arms. This was her punishment for helping the rebellion, she has been dishonored by her own ancestor.

"This is what you get for going against me!" Condense screams.

All Feferi could do was keep her mouth shut. She didn't want to get herself in more trouble than what she was in. She took one look at the shore, seeing a dead body of someone she knew; the ancestor of the man she was betrothed to, Orphaner Dualscar.

"Is that . . . ?" Condense began as the captain when to investigate.

"No doubt about it, empress."

"Dualscar." Condense walked closer, "Who could have done such a foul deed?!"

Feferi took one glance at the bite mark on his arm.

"Kanaya, you're alive?!" She whispers to herself, making sure she couldn't be heard.

"Empress, take a look at his arm." The captain says holding up limp arm.

"Two teeth marks." Condense pauses, "From a rainbow drinker, no doubt."

"How could it have been a rainbow drinker, empress?" The captain pauses, "Most of them are dead, or banished. The last rainbow drinker we could have placed for this murder is dead!"

"Yes . . . That she is." Condense turns to him, "Test the saliva from the wound and come back to me with a result."

"Yes, empress."

"Ha, as if that will do you any good." Feferi scuffs.

"What was that?!"

"You are too blind to realise it, ancestor," Feferi stomps on the guards feet, "this war will end in a victory for my friends!"

She ran as fast as her legs could carry. Some of the guards prepared to go after her.

"Don't go after her!" Condense orders.

"But, empress . . ."

"Did I hear you go against me?!"

"It will never happen again."

"It better not." Condense pauses, a grin forming on her face, "besides, she's no longer my problem."

…

Feferi started to breath in and out through her mouth as she came closer and closer to the rebellion camp. Equius was standing guard, hearing her footsteps inching closer; he was ready to fight, until he saw her coming out.

"Princess."

She breathes heavily, but manages to smile at him.

"Here, let me help you to the fire." He says, gently taking her arm and leading her towards the fire, "Feferi made it."

Karkat turned over to see him.

"Feferi?" He asks, "How did you escape?"

"It was easy," Feferi sighs, after finally getting some air into her lungs, "but I know the truth."

"What truth?"

"That Kanaya's alive."

"Oh, yeah . . ."

"The Condense doesn't though."

"How did you find out?"

"We found Dualscar's body."

"What?!"

"I was the first one to notice the bite marks on his arm, until the captain saw."

"So thats how you figured it out."

"Condense is thinking that it's probably one of the rainbow drinkers that she has banished."

"Lets hope she doesn't go after any of them."

"Yeah."

Karkat smiles a little.

"Could I see Kanaya?"

"I'm sure Rose will let you see her for a few," Karkat pauses, "unless she is asleep since her wounds haven't quite healed all the way."

"Oh, I see."

"Go ahead, Feferi."
