I Scream.

How can I ever put into words what has happened? My life has been shredded, torn apart and thrown to the wind. For 20 years I have lived under Eliza and her cruelty, but still.. I loved her. I missed her when Tia took me away to stay with her. All along I thought I would eventually go back home.

Until last night.

They auctioned off our house, all her things and then, to my horror.. They auctioned off Eliza herself. It was horrible! My mistress was distraught. The had chained her, naked and spitting like an angry ost at the men who held her. I cried for her, I tried to stop it but someone held me back on the floor. No one yelled at me and today that worries me.. I have shamed Tia with my actions. I was a hysterical woman last night. And for nothing. They sold my Mistress for a single gold tarn disk. It is a number that is hard for me to wrap my thoughts around. A single gold tarn. If I had been auctioned, what would I have sold for? Coppers most likely. Half coppers even. I am a flawed slave, not as pretty as even Eliza is. She will be a remarkable slave. She will be achingly beautiful.

If Mika Savant does not kill her first.

I have not yet seen Tia today, I do not know what to do with the tray of jewels I was given last night. They are not mine to keep are they? I am not really allowed to own anything. Too, is Tia owning them really wise? What if she is careless with them? And most important of all.. why did the Sin woman give them to me? I cannot believe she felt badly for my plight. I am only a slave.

Eliza too, is now only a slave.

Later, I shall write about the house.. I need to sneak back in and get into he wine cellar, quickly too before anyone.. finds him.
