Selflessly selfish

Skyler listened to the sound of battle outside, random yelling piquing his interest every now and again. He could have sworn he heard Rodovar's voice amongst those yelling. 'Oh, that's right. I almost forgot about him.' That was when the memory of Rodovar's ten-inch dick squirting hot cum all over his face came to mind. 'Ugh, almost...' Around that time, an odd silence filled the air. 'Did someone win?' He focused his attention on listening but didn't hear anything for the next twenty minutes. 'Don't tell me everyone died...'

His heart sank, causing his attack's timer to increase from 9 hours to 12. He lets out a heavy sigh. 'More proof that I should never have been born. Not only am I useless, but I am getting people killed. It wouldn't be so bad if it were just men.' He lets out a frustrated puff of air from his nostrils. 'Men are a dime a dozen. This is part of the reason men are sent to the battlefield first. It isn't because we make better soldiers. It is because it is easier to repopulate the world with just a few men. The opposite isn't true.' As his mind spiraled through different yet similar thoughts, his attack's timer increases from 12 hours to 16. At the same time, a notification appeared in the center of his view.

Deep Depression

While deeply depressed, you will lose 2% of your maximum health and mana every minute.

Current Duration: 3 hours.

His mind continues to spiral for the next twenty-five minutes before he notices that his health and mana have dropped by a small amount. His health had dropped by 37 points, and his mana by 32. 'Hm?' He quickly figures out how much 2% of his maximum health and mana are then subtracts their respective regen rates to deduce that he is losing 1.48 hp and 1.284 mp per minute. He uses this information to figure that he will lose a total of 266.4 hp and 231.12 mp by the end of those three hours.

He lets out a soft sigh. 'It looks like I won't die of depression today...' He begins to hear many soft footsteps at varying distances within the building. 'It would seem some people survived.' Just then, he hears the door in front of him slide open. He tries to open his eyes, but he is unable to due to his paralysis. 'So much for that option...' He hears the following words in Taki's voice. "I told you he was..." Cyanis' voice cries out. "Skyler!?" He feels a soft and cool hand touch his forehead. "He's burning up!"

Wuoliffside's voice is heard next, and the click of a sword being unsheathed accompanies it. "What did you do to my property!?" Taki is clearly taken aback as she huffs. "We didn't do anything harmful to him. I am just as baffled as you are... Wait, what do you mean property? Skyler is a free man. Do you see anything that denotes slavery on him?" As they speak, he is turned onto his back by Cyanis' hands and another pair of exceptionally soft and cool hands. "Emily, go get Shady. We'll stay here with him." His attention focuses a bit more on how he is being touched. 'I wonder if those are Nepeta's hands.' Immediately after Cyanis spoke, he heard someone quickly running off.

Wuoliffside growls. "Where is his collar? He isn't yours to do with as you please. He is mine!" He heard a blade slicing through the air, followed by several swords being unsheathed nearby. The soft sound of feet touching the ground a few feet into his room is heard followed by Taki softly humming from the new position. "Yours, huh? Clearly he didn't agree." Wuoliffside takes a few steps forward. "That's a lie. Now tell me. Where is his collar? I will not ask again." He could almost hear Taki grin before she spoke. "Aiko told me that Skyler said it was there one minute then gone the next. His hands were bound at the time. So, your guess is as good as mine."

Wuoliffside growls lowly. The sound of her sword as well as the others sliding back into their sheathes filled the air. The void that followed was filled by the clip clop of hooves on the wooden floors in the distance. His mind focused more on what had just transpired between Wuoliffside and Taki. 'I see. It looks like I was right. Wuoliffside really didn't care about me...' He felt his heart sink once again as his depression timer increased from 2 hours and 30 minutes to 5 hours.

He heard a few more clip clop of hooves a few feet from him. His sensitive lapin ears manage to pick up Shady's words as she softly whispers. "Poor Skyler, this is even worse than last time..." Cyanis voice is heard next. "Shady, can you help him?" Nepeta's voice is heard next, but far softer. "His health is being drained..." Shady is heard trotting a little closer. "Lay him on the bed. I'll tend to him there." He felt Cyanis' and Nepeta's hands moving into position, coordinating their efforts before lifting him up. A little over a minute later, he can feel the soft pillow and bed underneath his body.

Shady starts chanting softly. "Mother Earth, heed my call. One of your children is in dire need of your aid. Give me the power to remove his current ailments and restore his movement once more." After she speaks, a soft kiss is felt upon his forehead, filling his body with energy and comfort. This removes his HKPP's Full Body Paralysis and Deep Depression while restoring his health and mana as well. + 59 Hp, + 51 Mp His eyes open to the familiar sight of Shady's beautiful face near his.

His cheeks turn bright red. "W-we got to stop meeting like this." She giggles. "I'm starting to think you do this for that very reason." Cyanis glares at Skyler. "No fair trying to scare us if you just want some more attention!" Nepeta has tears welling in her eyes as she nods as well, cupping his right hand with hers. Taki lets out a soft sigh. "Shady, we need to talk." She starts to walk out of the room. Shady nods slightly but doesn't move. "Right." Her eyes focusing a little more on Skyler. "I'll be back in a bit." As she starts to leave, Skyler notices that Aiko, Daiki, Rodovar, and Emily are also there. However, Aiko and Emily turn to follow their respective leaders.

He looks at those remaining, noticing small injuries here and there, but nothing serious. Honestly, they all looked stronger than when they first met. Was he the only one who had barely improved at all? He smiles softly as tears well up in his eyes. "What are you all doing here? I thought for sure you would all forget about me." Cyanis smiles brightly and runs her left hand's fingertips through his hair. "It wouldn't be right to leave you behind after what you've done for us. Right guys?" Everyone else in the room nods in agreement.

He looks down slightly, nodding a little. "Right..." Nepeta looks around before leaning a little closer. "Is this your real form, Skyler?" He looks at himself in slight confusion, having forgotten that he was not in his normal form. "Oh, this? No, this is just one of my transformations." Her eyes widened a bit. "How many forms do you have?" He blinks several times. 'I'm not sure if I should answer that truthfully or not.' What are Shady and Taki talking about? Is it about Skyler's condition? Or is it about what they are going to do moving forward?
