A present.

“I have something for you, follow me!” Ciri spoke I nodded pulling another piece of stone from my shoulder. We walked into the temple before seeing her close the doors heard, “James, I can’t ever thank you enough but I owe you!” “You don’t owe me anything. That is what friends are for!” she shook her head before taking my hand spoke, “No, this isn’t up for to debate!”

She took my glasses off before taking my hand spoke, “Come!” we walked into the next room to reveal a bed, “No! Ciri no!” she removed her jacket before saying, “Please!” “I couldn’t without hating myself!” she took my hand before saying, “What if I said, I liked you like Geralt likes Yennefer?” “Then I would say you love one of the most hideous creatures in the realm!” “And I would say tough, I like men who aren’t lying, trying to use me for my gifts and actually know me!” before undoing her shirt spoke, “What do you think?” I stared at her chest before asking, “About what??” “My reward and offer!” I watched as she removed her trousers causing me to respond, “Depends on the details...if it’s a one off then no, I will leave you to it and go back to my job, if it’s you as my wife then yes. I would love to have you, worship you and even give you the chance to explore the worlds!” she thought about it before saying, “I can’t make a decision of such importance right now, I want to be free from anyone and explore, to have no longing responsibilities!” I nodded before buttoning her shirt up spoke, “I knew as much! You deserve what you dream” I looked away before walking off heard, “James...maybe in a few years!” I looked back before saying, “I know you won’t...it’s the same line a lot use to let me down gently!” “James...I’m sorry!” I wiped my eyes before sliding my glasses on spoke, “Don’t be!”

I opened the door and walking out saw the others sitting there at the ruins/battlefield hugging each other and accepting what had happened saw the dead Isu surrounding us and their warriors. Aphrodite was sat on a damaged stone seat leaning back with Eskel worshipping her, kissing all the way to her arms. Sansa hugged Thanatos, Leto hugged Artemis and Apollo and Hades embraced Talaiporia to his embarrassment but he didn’t care anymore. Cersei looked at me but concentrating on Hermes didn’t pass much thought on it whilst Brienne was talking to Lambert. Keira was talking Vesemir and Yennefer was kissing Geralt and Persephone; she was sat next to Vasan hugging him but nodded at me sensing what had happened saw me fall to my knees and lean back against the broken statue of Persephone looking out at the others comfort each other. “Didn’t work out did it?” I looked up to see Persephone standing there looking down at me, “I had an offer but not the one I wanted or sought!” she nodded before sitting down next to me laughed, “What are you going to do with you, ‘ey? You aren’t evil, got an heart of gold where you don’t want much and just want a woman to love, any woman and yet you sit with the rubble price. Look at you? You still don’t have all the splinters out!” I sat there as she sat next to me wrapping her arm around me before pulling the next small piece out I spoke, “When is it too much? Like, when is the time that I done enough favours to expect something back? 10, 100, 1,000? I have done soo much for people and Isu and I still haven’t had it repaid to me. I ask only one thing a woman who loves me and wants to be with me; is it too much to ask?” Persephone shook her head before saying, “I remember Hades telling me one thing when I was first kidnapped... it may or may not be what I deserve but it doesn’t mean you will get it! But you deserve soo much more then you get!” I nodded before saying as she pulled another one out, “What am I doing wrong? Should I be kidnapping them? Forcing myself onto women like Zeus? Because it worked for them!” “You know I would offer myself to you James... I always would but you promised Vasan to me!” I nodded before tapping her on the nose spoke, “You two like Hades and Talai are one of the few legitimate loving couples out there!” “I just wish I could find that one woman for you!” “Ciri was right in her choice, no one should hold the other back, it was just an fantasy of mine like Triss is!” I got up before walking over the rubble heard, “Going home?” “Yes...who knows maybe a woman will be waiting in my bed or on my throne!” I chuckled. “James do you want a drink?” Keira asked and refusing the bottle continued to walk, “Where is he going?” Sansa asked and looking over Persephone spoke, “He is going home!” “It’s been less 30 minutes since the fight!” Persephone nodded before saying, “Let me ask you something? If you were desperately alone and you saw all your family and friends with someone hugging and kissing would you want to stay? I wouldn’t” she turned back to Vasan who nodded muttered, “Thank you James! One day your sacrifice will result in something!”

I landed down from the hole before pushing the door open to the throne room walked in to see on my throne sat Triss naked wearing a bow in hair, “How about this present?” "What?" "I'm your present? Persephone said you fantasise over me and Ciri, I can't vouch for Ciri but I am more than willing to be with you, I want you" I nodded before sitting next to her spoke, "You are more beautiful then I ever imagined!" she climbed onto my lap before stating, "I saw you go with Ciri...what happened?" "She wanted to reward me similar to you, I said no because of her relationship to me; as a daughter but she wouldn't listen, I said to her that if she wants to sleep with me then I want to marry her but she said no. It was sleeping with her once or not at all!" she nodded before saying, "I knew she would let you down but I won't!" "That's why you are naked?" "No there is many reasons why, the first being it is soo hot down here the others are part of a three prong attack. The first is an reward, the second is an confession and the final is an offer!" I smiled feeling a potion be put into my hand she spoke, “I found it! Drink!” I nodded drinking it as she chanted, “Liberi nati non videri potest, ne eum supplicium! Adduc eum libero metus libero. Inflictor eloquar nomen, Athenae, et maledic ei?” “Ei liberate!” she chanted and yelling one final time, “Ei liberate!” it was then when the grey clouded mass left my body and into a box, where she shut it. “Now it’s time for your reward!”

I removed my glasses to see my eyes were the same colour and shape as before, “Triss look away!” she shook her head before walking up spoke, “I couldn’t reverse the colour but I did remove the curse!” I nodded before kissing her asked, “What do you want to confess?” “Reward first! Then confession!” I took her hand before leading her to the bedroom hugged her naked body tightly to mine whilst she looked up to me smiling as she placed her head against my chest. When we reached the bedroom she smiled seeing the tools, chemicals and herbs next to the mixing tools, books on spells, potions and various diagrams of inventions and creatures, “What is this room?” “It was meant to be for Circe when she lived here her to: create, brew and practice both Alchemy and magic. She didn’t stay and it’s the nearest bedroom so...” she pushed me to the bed pulling down my trousers before glaring at the cock semi-erect at her, “Oh mamma!” she muttered opening her mouth for me to push it inside her mouth, *choke* *choke* her eyes widened as more tried to force itself into her mouth. She gagged forcing herself to take more in but shaking her head coughed, “I’ve a better idea...”

I watched her as she laid back holding her breasts signalling for me to come, obliging I pushed my cock between them as she watched the member exceed past her breasts, “Are you all this big?” I slowly retracted it before pushing forward spoke“Persephone says no. Zeus was tiny apparently, he also had this complex of thinking “he isn’t a man” because of his size so slept around to prove his masculinity. Persephone said I was bigger than Hades and my dad and Aphrodite thinks mine is better than Artemis’ and definitely bigger than Ares’” “Artemis has one?” I nodded before saying, “Yes I found that out once trying to seduce her, about millennium ago!” she squeezed her breasts together to add more friction watching me grunt feeling the smoothness of her the gap between both breasts and watching the pre-cum trickle from it she smiled spitting on it, “Main course!”

she stood up and getting onto to the bed using her knees to move her further from the edge stopped feeling me enter her body and back arching groaned watching her breasts jiggle with every thrust before feeling my scarred lips kiss her neck and cheek, “Let me reposition!” she breathed heavily I nodded being pushed to my back as she climbed onto my lap and lowered herself gradually down before feeling herself make contact with my legs, “Shit!” I smiled holding her waist as she placed her hands on my chest, “I can’t get enough of you!” I spoke and shooting her head back she screeched, “I can’t hold on anymore!” she looked down increasing her pace to the extent she was more grinding them actually riding me before seeing her hips buck fell stickily to my body head and breasts against my chest, “Triss...”

She nodded before sitting back up whine when I pulled out to finish on her body and face, “Why James? My hair is a mess now!” “I got a hot bath for you to use!” I groaned seeing her lick the liquid from her hand, “You should have just did it inside me!” “You could have gotten pregnant!” she nodded before laying next to me whispered, “My confession...” I looked over to her as she climbed under the sheets next to me as she spoke, “I want to marry you...” I smiled before gratefully asked, “You mean it?” she nodded before responding with, “I liked you from the start, I liked how you were defiant and humble, you aren’t arrogant or cocky like Geralt was or my others and saw beauty in the others in so many different ways instead of just seeing someone as a trophy. Hell you even complimented Yennefer’s bluntness, hardheaded and approaches to everything despite it causing more trouble, you also protected and looked after Ciri, something we all respect and do. Then what topped it off was when Persephone revealed you had feelings for me and when no other god would you stood up to Zeus for Ciri and was willing to even die protecting her freedom! marry me, please and if it doesn’t work then it doesn’t we can end it!” “Is that your proposal?” “No my proposal was asking if you would be my guest to the celebration feast after! So what about it?”

“You know you would see some horrible things that go on down here...” “I know but I only ask that I can spend time on the surface with you and when the time was right we leave this place for our children...” I nodded before saying, “You have a deal!” she smiled before saying, “Can I use this as my laboratory?” “Of course, why?” “Because I know of so potions that will help some of those untreated scars, but first...how about that bath?“
