Kyllian slowly moved away and looked at her from head to toe.

  " How ? Wha - "

  " I was poisoned by the Arachaes during the raid, Alyssar instantly got everyone ready to perform the ritual that saved your friend but on me this time. It seems I suffered the same side effect. "

  Angered by this revelation, Kyllian grabbed Mika by her shoulders and shook her.

  " Why didn't you tell me straight away it was you ?! Was it fun for you to play me like this ?!"

  Annoyed, she pushed him away with enough strength to make him fall. Before he could stand up she placed herself on top of him making him unable to move. As she placed her hands on his face, he realised she was crying, all his anger vanished when he saw the expression on her face.

  " Of course not you idiot! All I wanted was for things to be normal again! One day I'm a man and the other .. I'm not. Do you know how hard I had to work for people to respect me over there? Of course you couldn't know because even without training you are that naturally gifted! Me? I had to work to get where I am, I had to earn my place! But now, it's ruined, they don't see me as their equal anymore, in this body, even if I'm still skilled, they approach me like I'm some delicate flower, some watch me with lustful gaze and I see what they hope I give to them. I'M A MAN ! Even if I don't look like one, I'm a man, but ... you had to come around and keep talking to me and you messed with my head. "

  " Mika I'm sorr- "

  " Shut up ! I'm not finished ! "

  Kyllian waited for her to wipe some of her tears, he was still laying on his back with her standing over him, her blonde hair brushing over his face, despite being drunk and crying, he was still finding her beautiful, realising he was doing exactly what others were doing to her, he decided to close his eyes to listen.

  " Why do you close your eyes ? "

  " I just can't focus if I look at you. I'm sorry people treat you this way. But, the first time I saw you like this, my first reflex was to think that you were beautiful but also I could see in your eyes that you were strong. I didn't only see a pretty woman, I saw a strong woman that I wanted to fight with, as equal. "

  Mika had a chuckle and a few more tears began rolling down her cheek, Kyllian raised himself with her still on his lap and wiped her tears. Now face to face, they looked at each other, Mika pressed her forehead against his and let out a sigh.

  " What I wanted to say was, I started feeling something, when .. when we bumped into each other I was scared you would make fun of me if I told you it was me. So I didn't say anything, I wanted to push you away but you kept coming after me and then we fought and it was the most fun I had since I was changed into this. " She slowly laced her arms around his neck, smiling while remembering their sparring. " I felt connected to you but to me it was unnatural, because I'm a man, and I don't know if it's this body doing it or my head. I'm just lost and scared. "

  Kyllian gently grabbed her chin and made her look at him.

  " Mika, it doesn't matter what body you are in, you are still worth more than any of these men I trained with for the past month or maybe even more worth than any person I had to fight ever. And as for your attraction, you will figure it out, maybe men are your thing now. "

  She looked in the distance as fireworks were happening over the city. Kyllian looked too. It was the first time he ever witnessed such a spectacle. He then felt Mika's fingers on his cheek and turned his head again. When he faced her, her face was lit by the light of the fireworks, a slight breeze was making her messy hair float in the wind. Mika brought her face closer to his and he let her do what she wanted to. She gave him a kiss on the neck and slowly went up to his ear. Slowly, he laid down again, abandoning himself to her touch. He could feel her body temperature rise as she was moving against him. She raised and took off her white shirt, Kyllian realised that her lack of breasts was due to bandages tightly wrapped on her chests. He straightened up and slowly helped her undo the bandages, as they came loose, they revealed a fine pair of breasts. Gently Kyllian took them in his hands and began massaging her chest, Mika was doing her best not to moan but the new sensations this body was giving her were overwhelming. The more he was touching her, the more she wanted him. She started feeling his abdominal region, slowly she raised his shirt and without protesting, he raised his arms above his head to help. Now both shirtless, their skin were touching. she gently pushed him back down and resumed her caresses. His skin was shivering at her touch and he could feel himself getting more and more excited. Knowing it was her first experience, he did not want to rush her. She then stopped as she was an inch away from his face and smiled.

  " I don't think men are my thing now Kyllian. I think it's just you. "

  She then leaned and kissed him. He hugged her to keep her body as close to him as possible, still lit by the fireworks, they kept kissing. At some point Kyllian flipped her on her back as she let out a small squeak of surprise, he admired her body for a moment. Her pale skin almost angelic to lay eyes upon, her clean blonde hair, her eyes as blue and vibrant and the most refined gemstone. Her skin was so soft, almost like pocerlain, she seemed so fragile, completely different than how he saw her the day before. He noticed a darker spot on her immaculate abdominal muscles. A bruise he gave her during their fight. Slowly he went down and kissed her bruise, the sudden contact of his lips on her skin made her tense a little bit but as he was going up her body with his kisses she began to relax and move her body to answer his own movements. Finally he arrived and her chests and began to kiss them, taking one of her exposed nipples in his mouth, at this moment she could not help but let a moan escape her lips but she did not care anymore. She ran her fingers through his hair as to tell him to continue, for a few minutes he kissed her where she wanted. Finally she took his head into her hand and brought him to her face to kiss again, she grabbed his hand while maintaining eye contact, she led his hand down to a place no one has ever touched her before. Kyllian looked at her worried.

  " Are you sure ? "

  Taking a few seconds to answer, she swallowed her spit and nodded.

  " Yes. "

  He unbuttoned her pants and let his hand go down, as a reflex of the first touch, Mika closed her legs on his hand, almost crushing him. He waited for her to relax before he could continue. He started feeling her, letting his hand explore her thoroughly. At this point Mika had stopped holding her moan, moving her waist in rhythm with his hand. She abandoned herself to this ecstasy she had never felt before. She brought him closer for yet another kiss and at the same time she felt his pants with her hand. The leather of his pants was getting extremely tensed and she could feel it. Just as he did to her, she opened his pants and felt another man's part for the first time. Her touch was feeling like an electric shock. Slowly she began moving her hand and while looking into each other's eyes, they kept this contact, slowly, Mika removed her pants completely and drew him closer so she could whisper to him.

  " Kyllian, I want to .."

  " We shouldn't .. "

  " You did this to me .. I don't know what to do with those feelings and I feel I need this."

  " This may hurt .. "

  " I don't care."

  Kyllian removed what little clothing he had left and placed himself between her legs. He gave her a final look, wondering if she had any regrets, she placed her hands on his lower back and got him to enter her. He stood there a few seconds to give her time to get used to it. He then moved his waist back and forth, trying not to go too fast. He could feel her tensing as he was getting further. Mika's body was tingling all over. These sensations were overwhelming, words and sounds she had never uttered were escaping from her lips.

  " You can .. do more if you want.. "

  Without a second thought. Kyllian changed his rhythm and began going faster. Her moaning got louder as the pleasure was increasing. She started feeling something building up inside her. A few minutes passed during which this build up became increasingly difficult to contain. Her toes began curling, her eyes rolled backwards and her whole body was getting hotter and hotter.

  " Wait wait, I feel .. oh my lord I feel something coming ! "

  She wrapped her arms and legs around him, rendering him unable to move as her entire body shook uncontrollably. Once she was done she looked at Kyllian and they both smiled, she then pushed him to the side.

  " It's my turn now to make you feel good. "

  She got on top of him and after a slow insertion, she started to move. Kyllian was simply enjoying the view of her body connected to him, going up and down, biting her lips, holding a few moans in, he wanted to make her feel good again, he wanted her to scream of pleasure. He grabbed her waist and began to move by himself. The sound of their flesh was resonating through the night. He could feel her insides tighten on him as she was getting close again. He was close too and didn't want it to end. She scratched his torso and planted her nails in him as a wave of pleasure was going through her again. Seeing her like this was the end of him being able to resist, he flipped her on her back again and kept moving. Feeling he was near, she brought his face closer and said words that caused him to explode.

  " Give yourself to me as I gave myself to you. Make me your woman tonight. "

  At this moment, he stopped thinking and finished then and there without a thought other than achieving pleasure. A few moments passed during which they stood like this still connected to each other, trying to catch their breath. The two of them looked at each other, covered in sweat and still euphoric for the moment they had shared. Mika smiled as she wiped Kyllian's sweat off his forehead.

  " That was .. wow. "

  " Yes it was, hmm, we should probably go back inside or people are gonna think someone was being murdered up there. "

  Mika blushed and covered her breasts.

  " Was I that loud !? "

  " Well I can still hear from one ear so I guess I'm fine. "

  She punched him in the shoulder and had a little chuckle.

  " Idiot, help me get dressed. "

  The two of them got dressed and went back inside, as they were making their way down the stairwell in silence, Kyllian caught himself thinking about how great his life would be if this was to last"this is not permanent Kyllian, let it go, it never will be, this isn't your life.". Mika looked over her shoulder and notice his gloomy expression. She stopped in her tracks right as she reached the end of the staircase and turned around.

  " Do you have regrets ? "

  " What? No! Do you? "

  " No I don't. "

  " Then why are you making such a face? Stop looking at me like that! "

  She got closer to him and touched his face. He had troubles looking at her properly and tried to distract himself by looking outside one of the windows.

  " It's nothing. "

  " Are you sure ? You can talk to me. "

  Annoyed, he slapped her hand away and pushed her aside.

  " I told you it's fine! Don't think that because I told you about me while I was drunk that I'm going to come and confess all of my issues to you ok ?! "

  Hearing the commotion, a guard of the mansion came running in.

  " Is there a problem with you or your lady mister? "

  " There is nothing fucking wrong! " He turned around and glared at Mika. " And she is not my lady, she is just a girl I fucked. "

  He then pushed the guard aside and headed for his room, leaving a clueless guard and a now deeply hurt Mika in the corridor.

  The next day, Kyllian woke up with an incredible headache. ' Oh fuck, I'm never drinking again. '. He painfully sat down on the side of his bed and looked at his arms. As always, he let out a deep sigh and grabbed the bandages in his bag and wrapped his arms. His stomach was growling so he made his way to the main hall. Not many people were still inside. He entered the hall and discovered Yordan having a chat with Alyssar. He felt in no mood to join them so he headed for an isolated place away from them. After the recent days, all he wanted was to be alone or to resume his travel. As he sat down he saw Stowe, who had just entered the room, walking towards him. He was saluting some of his guests that spent the night there as he was walking up to him.

  " Morning young man. "

  " Hmm 'ning "

  " The ale seems to have gotten the best of you. "

  " Spare me the morning sermons, what do you want ? "

  " In a great mood I see, I'll cut to the chase then. Yordan told me that your project was to get to a port and travel to the continent of the dragon queen. I can arrange you a cab to the nearest port but I have no idea if you will find someone that can get you there. "

  " Hmm, alright, when can we depart ? "

  " When do you want to go ? "

  " The sooner the better, we have been here too long already. "

  " Alright, I will notify your friends, the sooner I can arrange it is tomorrow. "

  " Perfect, I'll be in my room and I'm not saying that for anyone to come and see me. I want to be left alone until we depart. "

  " Hm. "

  Tired of waiting for a maid, Kyllian stood up and went to the kitchens. He grabbed a piece of cold chicken, some water and some bread and went back to his bedroom where he planned to spend the whole day.

  During the afternoon, Maggie and Yordan received a notice that they would depart the next day, and both of them had started to pack their things and say their goodbyes. Yordan knocked on Alyssar's bedroom door. She opened to him with a smile on her face, she invited him inside and as soon as the door was shut she brought him in for a kiss.

  " Good day Yordan, you could not begin to imagine my frustration when I woke up without you next to me this morning. "

  " Yes I'm very sorry Aly, I had a lot on my mind and I'm not gonna stay long. "

  She moved away and invited him to sit on her bed.

  " What is the issue ? "

  " I am going to be leaving tomorrow, Kyllian wants to resume the trip. "

  " I understand, but do you really need to ? "

  " I don't need to, but I want to, I want to help him in his mission, I will return, I promise. "

  She leaned on him and made her finger dance on his chest.

  " You better come back safe. Or I will hunt your soul and trap it inside of a bottle so I can curse you for as long as I live. "

  Yordan had a chuckle and kissed her forehead.

  " Don't threaten me with a good time ahah. "

  On the other side of the mansion, Maggie was getting ready, she had spent the night in the company of her new inventor friend who helped her get a lot of ideas. Despite the recent events, she was excited to depart on a new adventure. While packing her bags she could hear an argument in the corridor next to her, a man and a woman. The man was giving her directives she did not seem to want to accept.

  " I am your superior and you will do as I command you to do ! "

  " No, I refuse ! Ask someone else. "

  " You are the only one I trust, you know these people and you will go with them, you have their trust. You will go tomorrow, end of discussion, dismissed ! "

  Maggie then heard the sound of heavy boots moving away, quickly followed by the sound of a door slamming shut and a growl of frustration probably coming from the woman. " I wondered what it was about. ". The next day, she was about to get her answer.

  As he had planned, no one disturbed Kyllian during his day and so the day of departure came. Before going for good he wanted to say his goodbye to Nivel and so he headed for the stables. He entered and saw the mare jump of excitement when she laid eyes on him. He entered her box and caressed her head.

  " Hey girl, I'm going away, I probably won't ever come back but if I do, I promise I'll have lots of treats for you. "

  As a response the horse gave him a gentle bump in the chest. He then exited the box and joined Yordan and Maggie in front of the cab.

  " Hey, what are we waiting for ? "

  Yordan strapped his bag to the back of the cab and waved at him.

  " Hey, well you should probably say who. One of Stowes servants told us he was giving us some elite soldier to escort us. "

  Maggie then had a realization .

  " Yesterday when I was packing I heard two people screaming at each other, a man and a woman, the woman was obviously not happy to go. "

  Kyllian let out a heavy sigh.

  " Oh great, why don't they just stay there if it's so troublesome? "

  Stowe arrived behind him just as he was saying this.

  " Because it's an important person and a skilled one. "

  " And who might they be ? "

  " They are coming, I think you may have met them before. "

  The sound of boots could be heard coming from the other side of the cab, the three companions were eager to discover who was going to escort them on their trip. Stowe raised his arms as he knew who was approaching.

  " Ahhh Tsirek there you are, you took your sweet ass time. "

  Kyllian somehow was relieved that Tsirek would be the one coming with them. His joy was very short-lived as the person that revealed themselves to the group was not Tsirek. His face suddenly became dark and he looked at Stowe with an accusatory look. "

  " Hmm, Stowe, this is not Tsirek. "

  " What do you mean ? "

  "It's not Tsirek ! "

  " Oh I understand the confusion, Tsirek is a family name and I call the captain of the guard by his family name, everyone does, meet the other Tsirek. "

  Stowe gently grabbed the young woman's shoulders who was standing right there and shook her a little bit.

  " Meet Mika Tsirek. Former son and now daughter of our captain of the guard. "
