The Dragon's Consortium 2

57 - The Escape From Home

Soterios Dragvern - POV;

"We gotta go!" I shouted as I jumped theough the window and into our bedroom.

"Kyaaah!" Csilla screamed startled.

I stared at her as she stood naked, water dripping down her smooth skin from her soaking hair. I would be lying if I said I wasn't captivated by the sight.

"S-s-s-s-s-soterios! Don't look at me! You lecher!" she exclaimed.

"Ehh? But I've seen you in far more provocative poses," I said mischievously as I forced her into the corner of the room. I moved my body closer towards her but she pushed me away with one arm while she tried to cover herself with the other.

"Let me have a taste of that supple flesh," I whispered into her ear.

"Slam!" The door swung open as Thanatos kicked it open.

"What's going on?! I heard a screa-" Thanatos paused when he saw us in the corner.

"Kyaaaaaah!" Csilla screamed again and threw a heavy steel jewelery box at the bartender. It struck him perfectly and knocked him out.

Thanatos - POV;

"You could have killed him, you know," Soterios said.

"I didn't know what to do," Csilla lamented.

I opened my eyes slowly to see Soterios and Csilla talking. Soterios sat on a desk while Csilla paced around the room.

"Atleast he isn't dead right? If he does happen to pass away, I can always burn the body away completely. They convict you without evidence right?" Alduin who sat on a chair had joined in the conversation.

"Yeah that's true," Soterios agreed.

"What are you two saying?!" Csilla pouted.

"Argh, my head," I complained as I sat up on the couch where I lay. Everyone turned their attention to me.

"Hey, you good man?" Soterios asked putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'll make it. You don't have to barbecue me anytime soon Alduin," I joked.

"S-sorry!" Csilla apologised as she bowed.

"No, no. It's fine. You don't have to do that," I assured her.

"What are you doing here Thanatos?" Soterios asked me, instantly changing the mood to a more serious one.

"Klein didn't have many true friends. You have proven yourself as such through your selfless actions. I didn't think Klein would be happy to know that his friend was put away while defending him so I was discussing with Csilla as to how we could rescue you. Besides, I felt partially responsible that you were caught," I explained.

"Why would you feel responsible?" Soterios asked, clearly confused.

"Nevermind the details," I began, "but how did you get back?"

"That's what I came to warn Csilla about. Turns out the King had a deal with the Dragons to allow a Dragonborn to kill any who threatened their plan. I'm not sure what that plan is nor what the King was supposed to get in return," Soterios told us.
