Fontaine's Secret Auction House
*THUD!*
The loud noise was followed by a muffled grunt from Clorinde's gagged mouth. The last thing she remembered was accompanying Navia and Furina during one of their tea party on a flower field near Poisson, before they were ambushed by a group of thugs.
Navia and Clorinde managed to take out most of them with ease, but they underestimated the thugs and realized too late as they took Furina hostage during the commotions. With a knife pressed to Furina's throat, Navia and Clorinde are forced to surrender and can do nothing as they were sedated with chloroforms.
As soon as Clorinde awakens, she realized she had been bound tight to a chair, ball gagged, and also blindfolded, rendering her completely helpess. Even worse, their captor had left her (and Navia) in only her underwear, further humiliating her. Still, she tried her hardest to escape, but her futile effort only cause her to fall to the floor. And before long she can hear a door opening in front of her.
"Heh, how pathetic, even the fabled strongest Duelist of Fontaine is helpless without their vision" said one of the thugs. "Still, we're not taking any chances with either of you, if you try anything stupid again, we're gonna punish you with those shock collars on your neck. So just wait patiently until its your turn on the stage, you have no idea how much you three are gonna sell for...." The thugs laughed as he closed the door again.
"Cowards! come back here! Clorinde tried to shout those words, but the only thing that came out was a garbled mess. She cursed her powerlessness, she was supposed to protect the others, but now the only thing she can do is hope for rescue....
