Author's Note - Yeah, I am finally getting away from Lemon Scenes and actually DOING something. This one will be darker, but it sets the tone for the remainder of the story.
Life of a Dancer 2 - Chapter Twenty
As Kiniro was slipping out of the cottage, Faellia arrived and saw him leave. Curious as to where he was going, she followed him to Payon's outer edge and watched as he entered into the grand church there. As she did not know about the mission, she was intrigued as to where he was going, and why. Slowly entering into the church after him, she saw him go to one of the monks inside. Then in horror, she saw them grab him, and hold him down, pulling up his head. Covering her mouth in horror, she hunkered down and watched to see what they were doing to him. Realizing that all information would be needed, she watched. They then hit Kiniro hard against his face, and they pulled up his head again
"Where is that gypsy?" the friar asked
Spitting out the blood that had formed, he just wordlessly stared at them and said, "I do not know what you are talking about. What gypsy? You asked me to get a dancer. I don't know any gypsies. You know they are rare." he said coughing up more blood
"Why are you lying to me?" the friar said again as he punched Kiniro in the stomach and then hit him across the head. "We watched you bring that heathen gypsy into your camp. Did you not think we would follow you?"
"Do not speak about her like that" Kiniro said in a deadly whisper
"Ahh so you acknowledge her now? Good, now where is she? She is a heretic and must be burned out of existence. She is an abomination to our god." one of the monks holding Kiniro down said
Faellia bit her lip trying not to cry out at that statement. Slowly slipping out before she gave herself away, she saw them impale Kiniro with a golden mace, and collapse onto the floor, a pool of blood forming.
Faellia ran as fast as she could back to the cottage, and saw Aurora coming back from the waterfall. Ignoring the fact that she was still naked, she ran to her and screamed aloud. This brought the rest of the workers to Faellia.
"What is wrong Sister Faellia?" one of the workers said. He also noticed Aurora's state, and extended his shirt, to cover herself. Aurora accepted it, and donned the large shirt. The tails extended to just above her knees, and the sleeves were just as long. Aurora just rolled up her sleeves, as she guided Faellia back to the cottage living room as the workers all gathered in Axia's home.
Axia herself was already awake, and was brewing coffee, when they all descended. Then seeing Faellia so upset, she grabbed all the coffee cups she had, and started pouring coffee for them all. Aurora helped her bring all the coffee out for the workers and Faellia. She then sat down and watched Faellia cry
"Sweety is wrong. I've never seen you this upset?" Axia said
"Oh Mistress, the Master has been captured by those evil Priests. I watched him go to the church and they grabbed him and hurt him badly. They wanted you Mistress" she blurted out and burst into a fresh stream of tears
Axia stood up and trembling, she dropped her coffee onto the carpeted floor. Aurora rushed to her side, as she saw Axia's eyes flutter back and then caught her as she fainted. Carrying her to the sofa, and placing her down, she turned to Faellia and began to issue orders
"Faellia, gather my suit of armour. You there" pointing at the man that had given her his shirt "Run to the Payon spring and tell my sister Zenia to meet me at the pub in Payon." She said as she ran up the stairs to get into her tunic. As nice as the shirt was, it would be too light to protect her, if she was hit.
Removing the shirt, and getting into her tunic and chain leggings, Faellia came up and gave her the armour requested. Holding Faellia's face she said "Don't worry, we will take care of everything" and she then descended the stairs.
Axia had awoken from her dead faint, but was still shaking all over. As she came closer, she heard her litany of "It's all my fault". Then Axia stood still, and turned to her wide eyed, and screamed
"Axia! What is wrong!" Aurora said holding her as she was still screaming.
"Oh my PORINGS! Those cruel Bastards!" Axia screamed as she began sobbing between screams
"AXIA!" Aurora shouted
"I can't take it, they are hurting him so badly...Aurora they are peeling skin trying to make him talk" Axia said whimpering as she was using her for support
"Axia you have to break the connection...think of the children, if you don't stop you are going to lose them" Aurora said
"Kini's in too much pain, I can't break it, he is keeping it awake, but he is not in control. Something else is making him keep it up. OH MY PORINGS, they are pouring acid onto his flesh" Axia said as she began to convulse as the waves of pain radiated from her connection to him. Aurora then felt her feet wet, and looked down and saw blood.
"FAELLIA!" Aurora screamed as she realized that Axia was beginning to miscarry the children.
"Miss Aurora, what is...MISTRESS!" Faellia said as she saw the blood pouring out from Axia's legs
Faellia then ran to the kitchen and grabbed all the towels she could find, and then placed them between Axia's thighs. Watching them become red with blood, she began to weep, knowing that the children were now gone. Axia was sobbing uncontrollably as she too could feel the life of her children leave her again. Now losing 5 children, she turned on her side and wept for them
Lex then arrived, being summoned as soon as word that Kiniro had been grabbed, saw the blood on the sofa, and ran straight to her. Removing the soaking wet towels, he examined her as well as he could. Taking out a syringe, and filling it with liquid, he inserted it into Axia. Still sobbing, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep, with the tears drying on her eyelids.
