Daisy was on board Morana's spaceship within a few minutes. Inside, Daisy was overwhelmed by the sight of the alien technology with its many different colors and sounds. But as she took it in, the nemesis soldiers dragged her out of the room. They quickly tossed her onto the floor of a sterile, cold, and colorless prison cell with only one small window.

As they locked her prison cell and left, Daisy struggled back to her feet. But the place started to shake, and from morbid curiosity, she looked out the window to see why. Daisy saw the spaceship blast off in a flash! With every passing second, the planet was further out of view until barely a minute later, all she saw was pitch-black space peppered by the stars! Dropping to her knees in shock, a shock that would have driven a weaker person mad with despair, seeing the outside.

"Oh, heavenly father, I need your help now more than ever!"

Daisy clasped her hands and bowed her head for a prayer!

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. Leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever! Amen!"

As she finished her prayer, Daisy got off the floor and into her bed, a cold metal slab with an old torn-up pillow. The hard slab made her body shiver and her back ache. Hours ran by as she stared at the colorless ceiling. But she finally fell asleep.

A Day later, the nemesis soldiers entered Daisy's cell and pulled her out of bed. As she dropped to the floor, they threw a plain white dress and black slippers on her face!

"You have five minutes to put those on, slave! We will be waiting outside until then!"

Five minutes later, Daisy traversed the new planet with Morana. As they departed the spaceship, Daisy was at a loss for words as she saw Placentia. It was a Nemesis Colony, much like their plans for Earth. The world where the past and future met in a strange and harmonious union! Architecture ripped straight out of Ancient Rome, but spaceships of every make and model littered the sky! And hovering above it all was a pitch-black structure, a giant flying castle that cast a shadow over the land!

As they went through the city, the people immediately cleared a path for the nemesis, allowing a straight line to their destination. They passed through several vending markets. The sellers bowed their heads, presenting baskets of their wares to the soldiers in hopes one would buy them. Having grown up in a farming community, Daisy was overwhelmed by the numerous unfamiliar sights and smells of the alien vegetables. But something soon drew her attention away from them. She saw another slave girl wearing clothes like hers beaten by Nemesis soldiers in the street. The site ignited her compassion and fear as she wondered if she was next.

But Soon, Daisy reached Morana's giant mansion. From what she overheard from the soldiers, Morana hailed from an illustrious family. The Blights had gained a reputation for producing many of the Nemesis’s most devastating fighters. Daisy wondered if Morana was a part of that legacy. Her decadent lifestyle and desire for the finest clothing would suggest no. However, she needed to be sure she could overpower her captor and run for freedom when they were alone.

As they walked through the lavish building, Morana guided Daisy into a massive sewing room and threw her some fabric.

Daisy looked at it in amazement! "This fabric is beyond gorgeous! How many dresses do you want me to make from this?"

"Five! And I want them by tomorrow!"

Daisy took a deep breath."Okay, I'll get it done, Morana!"

In a flash, Morana moved over to Daisy, grabbing her ear. She started pulling it off, making Daisy scream at the pain and her icy touch! And she realized that there was no hope for freedom from fighting her only certain death.

"Get this through your head right now. You are only to address me as your mistress! Do you understand, slave girl?"

"Yes!"

Morana pulled on Daisy's ear harder, making her scream at the top of her lungs!

Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

"Yes, mistress!"

Morana released Daisy's ear, walking to the doors.

"Make sure to do a good job, slave girl! Your predecessor made the mistake of giving me subpar work, and I had to revoke her arm privileges!"

As Morana left the room, Daisy took a deep breath and got to work immediately! She found paper, a ruler, and a pencil and drew like the wind. Creating a hundred high-quality clothing designs one after another within seconds!

Later in the morning, Morana returned to the sewing room and was shocked by dozens of gorgeous dresses ready for her to wear.

"Slave girl!"

As she heard Morana, Daisy rose from a pile of clothing fabric half-awake."Present, mistress!"

"I told you to make five! Why are there so many spares?"

"Well, I intended to make five, but after completing the initial set, I was unhappy with my work. So I continued making improved versions until I reached about twenty!"

“And you expect me to choose?”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Morana looked through the dresses, and her eyes widened with amazement at the incredible quality of each one. And especially by the blue dress in front of her.

"These must be some of the most beautiful clothes in the galaxy!" Morana thought.

"Mistress, is my work to your liking?"

Morana looked at Daisy with contempt. She was more than satisfied but didn’t want to give a lesser being too much praise. The less she believed she was worth something, the better.

"The clothes are adequate, slave girl! So you may live!"

Hours later, the sun began to set over Placentia. However, as the city fell asleep, Daisy was wide awake. In Morana's sewing room, Daisy was a one-woman boutique filling the room with splendid dresses. But as the night came, Daisy finally stopped her inhuman production, dropping to the floor, exhausted. She spotted the four moons of the planet outside through a window. And Daisy let out a deep sigh, seeing them. Each one reminded her of those she loved the most, wondering if they were still well.

"Ma, Aisha, Belle, Carter," Daisy said.

A week later, Daisy walked through the city with Morana.

"Listen well, for I will not repeat myself, slave girl! An old friend at the Colosseum has cashed in a favor. She has an assignment on earth and has use for your skills. You are to obey every order she gives as if it was from me! Is that understood?"

"Earth! Maybe with luck, I can hightail the first chance I get!" Daisy thought.

Taking too long to answer, Morana swiftly grabbed Daisy by the neck, making her look her in the eye!

"Yes, mistress, I understand completely!"

Morana tossed Daisy aside, and they continued walking toward the Colosseum. As they walked, they soon met a group of homeless begging. However, Morana signaled her soldiers to take care of them. The nemesis soldiers beat the homeless aliens senseless! They threw them around like rag dolls, knocking them out of Morana's way! As they ran away in fear, Daisy folded her fist, frustrated, looking at Morana with disdain. However, a homeless young boy, a Hachiko, ran up to Morana, crying!

"Please, mistress, I'm so hungry!"

Morana looked at the boy scornfully and slapped him in the face, knocking him down! "Worm!"

As Morana readied to kill the boy with her hand flowing with cold air, someone hit the back of her head with a rock! As Morana looked around for who threw it. "Who dares?" The boy ran away. But a look of shock covered Morana's face as she saw Daisy with a rock in her hand! However, as she got her answer, shock turned to anger as she walked to Daisy. Every step she took grew a look of sadness onto Daisy's face as she knew certain death was approaching!

"Ma, Aisha, Belle, Carter, I'm so sorry, but I'm going to die!" Daisy thought.

As Morana reached Daisy, she punched her in the face, knocking her to the ground, and went to strangle her neck!

"You worthless vermin! You meaningless bug! How dare you challenge me and in broad daylight!” Morana tightened her grip around Daisy’s neck, inches from snapping it.“I want to kill you, but I can't think of a method quite painful enough!"

As Morana looked at Daisy, she saw her face bruised and bloody, but even inches from death, it was devoid of fear! Morana's rage flared more as she noticed. At that moment, she wouldn’t be satisfied simply killing Daisy. Her death had to be slow, painful, and humiliating, but she was at a loss on what torment to inflict. However, as she gazed at the Colosseum ahead, she grew a sinister smile.

Morana dragged Daisy through the corridors of the Colosseum, still holding her neck! They quickly reached the doors to the gladiator barracks, and as the guards opened them, Morana threw Daisy inside!

"Welcome to your new home, slave girl! Enjoy your suffering and rest in pieces!"

Morana quickly shut the door and left! A tall figure watched Daisy as she struggled to stand from his cell. A warrior who has seen the worst of war. One whose old gladiator armor and many scars told a sad story of violence and bloodshed. Everton Blak, now an adult, was a muscular dark purple nemesis that looked dead inside!

"Whoever you are, I would move from that spot rather quickly," Everton said.

Daisy swiftly learned what Everton was warning about as a big table flew at her! She ran out of harm's way but soon looked on in horror as the gladiators started a riot! They tore into each other with savage fury, beating one another senseless with everything that they could find and even starting a fire.

A gladiator got thrown near Daisy unconscious, and she ran to Everton for safety, but he signaled her to stop.

"Little girl, I am not a bodyguard! The warning I gave you was out of pity, and now I have no pity left!"

As Daisy heard Everton, she looked around frantically for another refuge. And she quickly found it in an empty cell. Daisy dashed to the cell at top speed, locking the door with a key from the ground. But as the carnage outside continued, she curled up into a ball, breaking down crying on the floor!
