Well, that happened...

Skyler felt something let go of his hand, allowing his senses to slowly sharpen. A few seconds later, he was able to see a small notification he hadn't noticed before.

Cyanis's Pheromones - Increases target's emotional response by 10,000% while in physical contact.

Skyler let out a slow breath to calm himself down. 'I guess that explains why I don't like the idea of a handjob.' He tried to focus on his breathing. 'Get it together. Fidella is in the past. She isn't a threat anymore nor is she coming back. Don't forget, you discovered she was dating other people by accident after a couple of weeks.' He sighed softly as his heart sank. 'She had a restraining order against her husband and to top it all off she broke it off with you after three months.' A deeper sense of self loathing returned. 'Sure, she said she was coming back for you one day, but that was clearly bullshit.'

Skyler's eyes opened slowly. 'Truthfully, I don't want Fidella to come back.. But, it also tells me how little I mattered to her. She told me I was the best boyfriend she ever had.' He felt a few tears escape as he looked toward the ground. 'Complete and utter bullshit. Even a woman like her doesn't want you anymore. You are quite the pitiful excuse of a man. That's you, trash that isn't even desired by trash.' He looked down toward his crotch. 'Why am I even a guy anyway? I'll never get to use my dick. To top it all off I'm horrible at being a guy.' That was when his deep depression came back.

Deep Depression

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

Current Duration: 4 hours.

Skyler felt his throat quiver as he drew in another breath. 'Maybe I should just lay here and let this take me. Everyone would be better off without me anyway.'

Just before Skyler came back to his senses

Shady angrily stomped her right front hoof while staring at Cyanis. "I don't know what you're doing to him, but you better stop it right now." Cyanis who had been holding Skyler's hand let go. "I haven't done anything. He started acting weird a few minutes ago." Shady walked closer to Cyanis before glancing down at Skyler who appeared to be coming back around. "Oh really!? Then why is he suddenly looking better?" Nepeta walked over to Cyanis's side. "Um, were you using your pheromones?" Cyanis started to pout. "Yeah, but it was just to excite him a little more..."

Shady glared at Cyanis. "Clearly he can't handle your type of 'excitement'." As Cyanis was about to say something, Nepeta placed a hand over her mouth. Nepeta bowed her head slightly. "I'll have a talk with her." Shady grumbled. "See that you do.." Nepeta dragged Cyanis off as she tried to escape her sister's grasp, but to no avail. Emily let out a soft whistle while looking down at Skyler. "She did a number on him." She glanced to Shady. "Do you think he'll be okay?" Shady shook her head slightly. "I don't know what pheromones she used, but I can see they didn't have the desired effect."

Emily gently touched Shady's body where her human half met her horse half. "Give him a few more minutes. He isn't that weak." Shady lifted a brow while glancing in Emily's direction. Emily shook her head. "I don't mean it like that. We all know his body is frail, but clearly his spirit isn't weak. If it was, he would have died already."

Back to the present

Skyler barely caught the tail end of Emily's words. "died already." He felt his heart sink even more. 'Do they finally see that I am better off dead?' He closed his eyes, wiping them gently before wearily rising to his feet. "Sorry about that. I don't know what came over me, but I should get going." Shady watched him with worry in her eyes. Emily gently pushed his back, sending him straight to the ground. - 5 Hp She tilted her head. "Yeah, you're not going anywhere, your fragile highness."

Skyler let out a breath as he tried to get back up, but couldn't manage to lift himself more than an inch off the ground. He wasn't having an attack just yet, but he could feel one would be upon him soon. He managed to roll himself over. His eyes glanced to Emily as his breathing started to grow heavier. "Fine... You win." Emily knelt down. Her hand gently touched his chest. "You're not looking so good. Hmm, and your cheeks have turned red. Are you feeling all right?" Shady looked around anxiously. "I believe he needs something with potassium in it, right?"

Shady turned around, looking in the direction of the log cabin. "I believe there is some pomegranate juice inside." Skyler groaned. 'Fucking pomegranate juice.' Emily lifted her hand up to his forehead to check his temperature. "Will pomegranate juice work? Gosh you're burning up." He sighed softly. "It will work... Ugh, I usually heat up when I am about to have an attack." Emily rushed to head inside while Shady walks over, sitting down beside him. Shady's left hand reached down to touch his cheek. "You're really burning up."

Skyler's breathing began to slow as Emily came back out with a large bottle of pomegranate juice. Emily unscrewed the lid before bringing it over to his lips, pouring it slowly into his mouth. Although he could barely keep up, he managed to swallow every drop she poured. 'This stuff is disgusting, but it's preferable to another attack.' Over the next five minutes, he managed to swallow every drop, roughly sixty ounces worth. Emily's eyes widened as she realized how much he just drank. "Was that too much?"

Skyler was breathing heavily. "Only if you take taste into consideration." Emily and Shady looked to one another as they started to laugh. Shady's score ticked up to 30. Emily's score ticked up to 80. His stomach felt full, but his body still felt heavy. Shady's lips curled into a smile as she slowly stood up. "I hope you feel better soon." She started to walk away. "Emily, keep an eye on him while I check on Talys and Amra. They should have been back by now." Emily nodded before looking to him. "Guess that means I get to play with you." She grinned playfully as she started to lean in closer.

Skyler lifted a brow, but before he could say or do anything else. Cyanis's and Nepeta's footsteps were heard nearby. Emily sighed softly. "I never get to have any fun..." She sat back up while looking in their direction. "Welcome back." Cyanis lifted a brow while tilting her head. "What were you doing?" Emily smiled playfully. "Um, keeping our patient in high spirits?" Nepeta walked over to his side before sitting down. "Your body appears to be in distress. Is everything okay?"

Skyler let out a soft breath while thinking about that question. Saying everything was fine didn't seem to be effective. Should he say he is tired and sleep this off? Or decide to tell the truth and see how quickly or not they abandon him?
