Nothing is True. Everything is Permitted.

Zane nearly coughed up all the liquid but a good majority had slipped down his throat. Feeling slowly returned to him. He smiled weakly and slowed his frantic breathing, "Th-thanks Mya. You've always got my back. What the hell was that anyway?"


The archer frowned, after a few minutes he should've seen the assassin's start preparing a funeral for their lost comrade. How had Zane survived? He ripped up a small plant and tore it to shreds, "This can't be! He's supposed to die!" He stalked off, away from the villa and back into town, shoving people out of his way.

 

Mya helped Zane sit up. It's a strong neutro toxin that neutralizes poison in seconds. It does taste horrible, but it saves lives like yours. She gave him a wink.

 

Zane touched his chest, "Right. I think that might have come off that bolt. What kind of guy shoots me with a poisoned bolt? This guy has access to some serious stuff and apparently really badly wants me dead. Worse than Garth did."

 

Mya sighed. A lot of people want you dead. For now, you need some rest. All these killing attempts on you must tire you out a lot.

 

Zane pulled her to him, "Not as much as you think. But I've never been poisoned before. Shot, stabbed, almost decapitated, nearly crippled, but never poisoned. You'd think I'd survived it all by now." He willed a smile that probably wasn't very successful at making himself look very lively.

 

Mya smiled and poked his forehead. There are some things in this world you can't possibly survive. Even worse than physical injuries. She made a low purr.

 

Zane stroked her back, "Oh? Care to elaborate? I think I've survived through a good chunk of the other stuff."

 

Mya pushed hum on his back and got on top of him. Once you stop and looked around, you'll see what kinds of trouble you can get into. She leaned in close. Especially with women.

 

Zane grinned, stronger now and held her close to him, "I don't think I can ever stop. And trouble with women? That doesn't sound like me. I'm a charmer, not a trouble maker." he kissed along her neck and jawline.

 

Mya smiled and pressed her body against his. Well you could say that. I'm just asking that some guys can get involved in the problem.

 

Zane relished that she was more responsive to him now. "You're delirious. Obviously you didn't get enough sleep." His mind raced back to a time with his older sister and her new fiance. He hadn't liked him at all. Zane moved the shoulder of her clothes down and bit her lightly. His mind still on the past.

 

Mya smiled and squirmed around a bit. I believe I had plenty of sleep. You can't get enough of it WITH WOMEN. She poked his nose.

 

Zane smiled at her, he only smiled with her, "Would you rather have me sleep with my falcon? I'm afraid I might crush the poor thing. Dearest Mya," he brushed his lips across her collar bone, "I sleep with you and you seem to quite enjoy my company in bed. Would you rather I stop and not sleep with you?"

 

Mya sighed. I don't even know if enjoy is the right word. Sure it was my first time, but I'm not saying I didn't like it either.

 

He frowned, "Then something must be done about this. No woman absolutely doesn't enjoy herself in my bed." He rolled them over and kissed along her neck. "Before I asked you what you wanted. Tonight I only ask that you enjoy yourself. Relax."

 

Mya couldn't help but laugh at his statement. You're making it sound like women not enjoying themselves is illegal.

 

He sighed, "It should be and it is in my rule book. Right next to the Creed." Even slower than before, he undressed her, kissing whatever he uncovered. "Why is it that I'm always being attacked when this happens. I'm starting to think it's a fetish of yours."

 

Mya giggled. It must mean you're seriously attracted to me so much, you would go to even hurting yourself.

 

He froze, "Don't flatter yourself." His gray eyes watched her carefully, "You don't think I used to hurt when I would watch the other guys appreciate you when you left the room? You don't think I hurt when I watched you train to become an expert? Do you not remember all the bruises, cuts, and bloody noses I had when I showed up for training? All that was to protect you. Keeping the others away from you. You don't think I hurt when I saw how you looked at the other trainees instead of me?"

 

Mya turned away from his gaze. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you for 7 years. I never knew you were hurt to protect me as I was learning. She felt ashamed for being dead weight to Zane.
