SLICE!

...the rope snapped and sent the agent flying. Ava mentally patted herself on the back as wearing armor broke her abrupt fall. As she lifted herself up, she noticed Lady Olso was now standing. The blonde's pants were still around her ankles, revealing her long slender legs and red thong that hugged her hips. Ava watched with slight disappointment as the warrior pulled up her leather pants and buckled up.

"I told you to kill him when you had the chance," the blonde woman coldly called out to Ava. She walked over to Ava and extended her hand. "At least you didn't try to kill me," she follow-up, grasping Ava's hand and pulling her up.

"Are you...ok?" Ava asked after seeing the woman literally fight and fuck only moments ago. Lady Olso leaned over and pulled the dagger from the dead man's head, wiped it, and then stuck it snugly between her belt.

"Better now, just wish he was a better fuck," she replied before spitting on the man's lifeless body. She quickly looked back to Ava. "Although I wish you had listened to me earlier, you definitely saved me from the same fate as my bannermen," Lady Olso continued. "For that I am in your debt." The ravishing young woman then bent her knee and placed a fist over her heart. “I am Lady Nyana Olso, the Steel Rose, and the Duke of Ursar’s daughter” nobly announced the blonde before standing straight back up.

“No need to thank me Lady Olso,” Ava replied, trying to match Nyana’s complementary tone, “I am glad I arrived when I did.”

“And what is your name brave knight?” Nyana asked with a smile. Ava hesitated, realizing Nyana would probably be more inclined to help her with the quest and maybe even find Agent Violet if she played along. The GDF cleared her throat and mirrored Nyana’s knee bend.

“I am Lady Ava, the red Banshee, of House Hope” she replied, thinking the name and title wasn’t too bad for thinking right on the spot. As she stood back up, she was met with a slightly wider smile from Nyana. “My lady,” Ava continued, “as luck would have it, I am actually on a quest to find my compatriot and I believe she may sought out to rescue your father.” Nyana’s smile quickly disappeared and her face suddenly became sullen. “I understand he is missing, but I believe our paths crossing means there’s a chance we can find both if we work together,” Ava followed-up, speaking in a cautiously optimistic tone.

The Steel Rose looked down at the fallen warriors around her, then her turquoise eyes met Ava’s which was accompanied by a smile and look of determination. She then put out her hand, which was quickly met with Ava’s own and the two warrior women shook. “Lady Ava, we have an accord,” Nyana declared.

The two women then gathered as much supplies and other usable weapons from the dead on the ground. They packed as much as they could in the carriage as Nyana hopped into the back. Ava stood outside and realized that she was the one to draw the horses. Having never driven a carriage but having some horse riding experience, the GDF agent slowly but surely got the horses to trot.
