"I never asked anyone to look to me as the leader! If they had asked, I would have said no! I told anyone who would listen that me being the leader was a bad idea!"

Myria says "That may be true, but it was your own fault for playing the hero and saving most of us! You can only blame yourself because your actions led you to where you are now."

"Maybe. I didn't think about things like that, I just did what I felt like at the time. I saved most of you simply because I don't like slavery."

Myria says "Your reasons don't really matter, what matters is how those you saved saw you. That is why you became a leader, because we all saw you that way. That is why I fell in love with you, even though you didn't make it easy for me."

"That's because at the beginning you were way too intense. You acted more like you were obsessed rather than in love. I felt like if I accepted you, that I would be taking advantage of that. It was only once you calmed down that I could start to accept you."

Myria says "If you knew what I had gone through before you rescued me, you wouldn't have found me that intense. Besides, your smell triggered all sorts of instincts in me and I wasn't in the right mindset to control them."

"I can't even imagine what you went through and you are right, you had plenty of reasons to be a little crazy. However, you can't really blame me for not wanting to get caught up in that amount of crazy, right?"

Myria says "I can understand it now, but at the time it really hurt that you rejected me."

"I'm sorry that it hurt, but I couldn't do anything else at the time without compromising my morals."

Myria says "I know that now and I have actually come to appreciate that you didn't take advantage of me. Although, if you had been smart, you could have given me what I wanted and then moved on. If you had done that, then we wouldn't be in this situation now. In fact, I may not have fallen in love with you if you did that."

"Somehow I doubt that, but it doesn't matter now. What's done is done. Now we need to figure out where we go from here."

Myria says "We already know what happens next. The only question is whether you accept it or run away again."

"I am not going to run away. The problem is that while I like you, I don't know if I love you yet."

Myria says "That's fine. I love you and I am willing to accept whatever level of affection you are willing to give me. I am fine if you only like me, I still want to be with you and give you my everything."

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"What if my feelings don't change and I don't fall in love with you?"

Myria says "As long as I can be with you, I can live with that."

"Are you sure? Considering what the future may bring, you are just going to suffer more when I die. Is it really worth it?"

Myria says "I am completely sure! Even if we could only be together for a day and I had to live alone for a hundred years after that, it would be worth it!"

"Alright, I will stop arguing. You have obviously made up your mind and I won't fight against it anymore."

Myria lets out a happy scream and throws herself into my arms to kiss me. I was expecting to kiss for a bit and then go back to talking, but Myria has other ideas. She probably doesn't want to give me time to reconsider or get cold feet.

We end up moving to the bed and Myria takes the lead by undressing me. She isn't shy about letting me know what she wants and I kind of like how aggressive she is. I don't know if it is because she is a bunny girl or because of what I did to her, but she manages to go five full rounds.

In fact, when we are finally done I am actually feeling a little exhausted. I had planned to see about getting other things done, but I end up changing my mind. I cuddle with Myria and soon we are both sound asleep in each other's arms.

In the morning, Myria wakes up first and then wakes me up by attacking me. It surprises me because I was expecting her to still be exhausted after last night. However, Myria turns out to be a lot more resilient than I thought she was.

We have a couple of rounds of fun, but then we end up stopping to have breakfast. We are both really hungry since we ended up skipping dinner last night. It is only as we are eating that we actually have a chance to talk again.

"I probably don't want to know, but what happened to your mother?"

Myria says "Will you think differently of me if I tell you that I killed her?"

"I wouldn't want to, but yeah I probably would. Only because it is your mother we are talking about."

Myria says "Well, you can relax, I didn't kill her. You also don't have to worry about her. I defeated her, but I only left her wounded. However, she had made a lot of enemies during her reign and they took care of her."

"That is a relief. No matter how much you hated her, killing her yourself would have scared you."

Myria says "I know, but a part of me still wanted to do it. The only reason I didn't was that I was worried about how the tribe would react."

"That's true, proving your strength is enough to make them submit, but killing her would have bred resentment from those who supported her."

Myria says "Exactly why I didn't kill her."

"Alright, so what now? I know that you and Lin have a plan, want to let me in on it?"

Myria says "For right now, I am going to stay with you and support you until your plan is done. Then Lin will keep an eye on you while I take the commander trial. You will also get married during that time, we delayed the wedding because of the plan."

"That and dragging Lin out of the library won't be easy."

Myria says "True. Once I return from the commander trial, Lin will start doing the mage trials."

"So, you are going to take turns keeping an eye on me? Well, I guess I can't blame you for that. How come you are taking the commander trial? I thought that would be Kitara."

Myria says "She will do the trial once I am done while I take over the training of the troops."

"Is it even possible to have two commanders? I thought there was only supposed to be one?"

Myria says "We checked with Yui, that was only a tradition. There is no rule or anything that prevents multiple commanders."

"Oh, well in that case it's fine. Just do me a favor and be careful in the trial. I know Yui said that you can't die in a trial, but you can still be injured or even crippled."
