The raindrops were hitting the glass of my window slowly.

Every drop made me remember the tears in my mom's eyes when my father took me from her arms.

I was so young, I couldn't say goodbye or I love you mom the only thing that I could do it was cry and cry.

After this day I arrived in this colony... I was young but I knew that was my new "sweet" home. The Colony of Douléia, the most important colony of reproduction at Mor Empire. I met Drusilia in this same day, she is my first and best friend in this jungle of ice and stones.

We grew up and learned how to survive tougher. We are a family, I protect her and she protects me.

I never hear from my parents again, when a girl arrives at Douléia or at another colony, the Igetis who controls all the women that live in their colony and the diokets whose work is teaching this women to be a good mistress or a good royal breeder. They destroy all of them possibilities to contact the outside world.

- Kristma? Are you there?

I hear Drusilia's voice echoing in my old and musty room.

My eyes flow through the quarter and end up in Drusilia.

- Hi Drus... The rain it's too heavy... Hey! You remember when we were kids and...

- I know. - Drusilia interrupted me.

- What's wrong?

- The Igietis Cezare is looking for you... I think someone bought you...

A mix of sadness and loneliness filled up on Drusilia's eyes and condensed into uneven tears streaming down on her face.

I understood what those tears meant. I would never see my friend's face again. More one time someone would be pulled out of my life.

Two drops of sadness emerged in my eyes, I was not ready to say goodbye and I lost my mind in that moment and so I ran into her arms and cried.

- Please... Don't forget about me -Drusilia cried against my shoulders.

- I won't! I won't forget about you... About our friendship, about our days playing by the river while dioket Johansson was screaming our names in the main theater...

We laughed with that glimpse from those years, our sunny and sweet days in the past.

- You should go... He is waiting for you in the council hall...

- I know it...

- Please, take care of yourself...

- You too...

More tears fell from my eyes

- I will miss you Kris... The life for a pallaki is hard but you can survive... - A hiccup emerged from her throat - Please... Always remember our best weapons...

- The courage, the intelligence and the cunning...
