The Ring of Daenar

DEBUG_HERO worked furiously to stabilize Talon, "Com'on Tal stay with me."

Her eyes fluttered open briefly before closing again.

"Fuck!" DEBUG_HERO spat some more chewed herbs onto the wound and rubbed them in. The poison was moving far too quickly. Whatever it had been, it was meant to kill fast.

Unsure of what else to do, DEBUG_HERO channeled magic into Talon and felt surprisingly little resistance from her. Was she susceptible to magic? A thought for another time, a time when Talon was healthy again.

He manipulated and transformed her blood into pure blood, full of life instead of poison. Her pulse lowered but she was still pale and her brething ragged. A lot of damage had already been done.

DEBUG_HERO **** some water down her throat.

"Tal? Talon? Wake up. Please wake up," DEBUG_HERO begged, cradling her head in his lap.

Her eyes fluttered open, "Pain."

He nodded, "I don't have anymore anti-toxin potions. I should have bought more when we were in province_2. I'm sorry."

She shook her head, "I can heal myself a little." her face contorted in concentration and slowly the deathly palor left her skin and her breathing became steady.

No longer on the verge of ****, Talon took stock of the situation, "Did you not get hit?"

DEBUG_HERO, "No."

Talon nodded, "Good. Let's get your ring. I'm done with this place."

They pushed the treasury doors open and were struck by how much treasure had lasted the centuries buried away in here. And in a place of honor atop a golden pedestal sat the silver ring of Daenar.

They collected as much as they could carry. They camped just outside of it, deciding not to push Talon so soon after being at ****'s door.

They divvied up the treasure two ways and DEBUG_HERO slipped on the coveted ring of Daenar. He felt the low hum of magic resonate through him as it attuned to him.

He glanced over at Talon who was busy admiring a golden necklace, "Something has been bothering me," DEBUG_HERO began.

Talon looked up at him, "Oh? You need sex?"

"No. Well yes. But what I was meaning was how did you not notice the trap?" DEBUG_HERO asked.

She shrugged, "I'm good at making traps. Never said I was good at evading them."

DEBUG_HERO scratched his head, "You're a hard one to pin down. I just can't figure out what your skill set is exactly."

Talon looked him in the eye and with a humorless smile said, "I'm called the Talon because of my ability to kill with my curved daggers. I am able to kill people in a multitude of ways and I can do so efficiently. My favorite way is by my daggers or my traps, but that is far from my only way. You want to know my skillset? It is that of a killer." She returned to her jewelry.

DEBUG_HERO sat in stunned silence. That was the most he had ever heard her say at once besides maybe arguing to kill everyone involved with her cousin's slavery.

"Give me a moment to pack this up and I'll let you fuck me any way you like."

"You almost died today, perhaps you should rest," said DEBUG_HERO.

"That is dumb. I am healed. I am alive because of you, again. You will fuck me until you no longer feel worried about my health. Okay?" the question was clearly rhetorical.

DEBUG_HERO fucked her until neither could remember what they were doing or where they were. They slept deep that night.
