Part Nine:
Life of Solitude
The Disciple was there, at the slave auction, saw who bought the Dolorosa. She runs back into the forest. Wishing that she had the money to buy the Dolorosa, but that wasn't the case. She saw how the Marquise out bid that indigo blood, she had no chance to bid for the Dolorosa. She clenches onto the black cloche, she bumps into someone.
"I am sorry!" She says.
The brown blood turns and sees her.
"Meulin!" He exclaims.
"Rufio." She says.
She looks at the other members of the rebellion.
"Meulin, what happened?" A gold blood asks.
"Where are the other?" Summoner asks.
She sits down.
"They killed him."
"What?" Summoner asks.
"They killed Kankri!" She screams.
"Gog, please say it's not true." The gold blood says.
The Disciple takes off the cloche.
"He gave me this."
"Then it is true." Summoner says.
"What happened to Mituna?" The gold blood asks.
"He is now the Helmsman to the Condense's warship." Disciple says.
Everyone became quiet.
"I feel sorry for him." Summoner pauses, "Porrim? Tell me she is alright."
"She was sold."
"Sold?" The gold blood asks, "You mean as a slave."
"At an auction."
"To whom?" Summoner asks.
"Marquise Spinneret Mindfang."
Summoner lowers his head.
"Rufio?" The gold blood asks.
"I can't believe she would do that."
"What?"
"I was at one point of time dating her."
"Really?!"
"Yeah, I thought that she left for good." He pauses, "But, I am over with her."
The Disciple puts her head down.
"Why didn't they do anything to you?" The gold blood asks, looking at her.
"They were going to kill me after they knew Kankri was dead."
"Why didn't they?" Summoner asks.
"Darkleer let me go," she pauses, "he was going to kill me."
"But?" The gold blood asks.
"I pleaded for my life." She pauses, "Then he let me go."
"Thank goodness one of them has a heart." Summoner pauses, "I hope that Mituna will be fine, hopefully Condense doesn't try to get the best of him."
