The snow was still endlessly falling onto the silver floor beneath Riley's feet. Most of the footprints, no longer belonging to just him and Osk as the other themarian women have started approaching Osk.

Riley could really only just watch as they started massaging her back, forcefully pushing her down back to the floor as two women sat on her; their thighs, fully exposed from their garments that barely even covered anything. The woman that Osk punched and kicked away earlier was also thereseemingly taking the chance to hurt Osk as she basically punches her back instead of gently massaging it.

"Hn!" Osk let out a loud moan as her as a light snap whispered in Riley's ears. It was weird how the muscles of Themarians actually work; looking at it now, how their skin looked soft as they gently brushed past each other; but then earlier, when Riley grabbed Osk's armit felt as if he was holding pure steel that was compressed a billion times over.

And that was not the only thing Riley was confused about.

"You said you were sent to your Eternal Death, Madam Osk?" Riley calmly approached Osk and sat beside her on the cold hard metal floor.

"Oh, that's just an expression," Osk lightly groaned as her shoulders were being kneaded, "I was almost sent to Eternal DeaHn!"

And with another crack whispering in the air, Riley could not help but tilt his head to the side as his confusion continued to grow; this time, regarding a themarian's recovery. Unlike him, themarians do not truly die in a sense; their bodies just become catatonicthey were weird that way, like some sort of tardigrade.

And when they recover, they become stronger than they were before; almost like a muscle.

It took Aerith months before she recovered from being mangled and dissected by Riley. But then again, she also mentioned something about being tired and just wanting to rest. Did they have some sort of control over how fast they recover?

James was already separated into several parts, with all of his organs not even throbbing or working anymoreand yet after a few hours, he recovered.

Osk's spine was clearly shattered, and perhaps her organs were ruptured too from the impact of her entire back being slammed onto the themarian metalbut she said she was almost sent to Eternal Death.

And then there's the handful of random themarian youths that Riley has encountered. He crushed Fionn's body and he recovered, but then he decapitated him and he was sent to Eternal Death.

They get more resilient with age, that one Riley already surmised. But perhaps it is not necessarily their age, but their improving energy levels that come with it?

The stronger the themarian, the harder they are to killwas it really that simple? Was he just overthinking things since it involves Aerith's species?

"Enough, enough!"

Riley was suddenly free of his thoughts as Osk stood up, pushing away the other women and causing even one to fall on top of Riley.

"..." The woman did not really say anything even as she caught Riley's leg in between her thighs. She just looked at Riley, before instantly disappearing and flying away. And it wasn't only her, the rest of Osk's tribesmen all flew and disappeared, leaving just the two of them in the arena.

"So I suppose it's a tie," Osk then let out a very long and deep sigh as she sat in front of Riley, relaxing one of her knees down, while the other was raised so she could rest her arm on itand of course, just showing everything in between her legs to Riley,

"You broke my back, and I broke your neck. This is a tie, right?"

"..." Riley just blinked his eyes, before turning to look Osk in the eyes, "I suppose so, Madam Osk."

NoOsk technically won since Riley was sent to the Overvoid. But of course, as Hannah once saidNever correct your enemies.

"Hm" Osk then slightly leaned back as she placed both her palms behind her before stretching her torso in an arc. Her bosoms, almost popping out from the coat of fur she loosely covered them with; her legs, almost resting on Riley's lap.

"!!!"

And then, all of a sudden, Riley's vision darkenedbut not in the way he was used to, no. It wasn't hard to breathe in the Overvoid, but now, it was almost as if his nose was being squished by a pillow made of water.

"So"

Riley then heard a whisper softly entering his ears as Osk literally locked him around her legs.

"...Why don't you break my back some more?"

Riley then felt his cheeks being grabbed as he was pushed away and freed from the suffocating feeling, only to find Osk's dark and surprisingly unblemished face right in front of his face.

"I do not know how the situation evolved into this, Madam Osk," Riley blinked a couple of times as he felt Osk's breath growing heavier by the second; her tongue, almost sticking out of her lips as she panted.

"It's just tradition," Osk then pushed Riley to the floor, causing all the snow beneath his back to ripple away, "Only a man that can subdue her woman has the right to carry on his seed to the next generation."

"But our duel was a tie, Madam Osk," Riley just blinked a couple of times as Osk sat on his hip; her thighs which were larger than Riley's head, completely pinning Riley to the floor like some sort of pancake.

"You broke my back before I broke your neck," Osk's hands started to trail across Riley's suit, and without even any warning, she tore it off like paper,

"Your skin is really as white as snow," Osk's then breathed out as she placed both her palms on Riley's chest; her dark skin, almost like a void on Riley's white skin, "Our baby would become the greatest warrior Theran will ever see."

"..." Riley once again blinked his eyes a couple of times before looking around. Is this why everyone else just left? Were they already expecting something like this to happen?

Or is this what usually happens?

"Stop being so greedy," Osk then grabbed Riley's face, before placing her lips on Riley's neck and licking it; her tongue, crawling all the way to Riley's lips before. And with their lips intertwined, Osk slid down her tongue inside Riley's mouthalmost violently twirling his tongue with hers.

"They" And with a light gasp, Osk pulled her head away and bit her own lower lip,

"They will get their turn next. For now, I have you by myself."

"That is unexpected, Madam Osk."

"A man that beats the alpha will place his seed in the entire pack," Osk then said her fingers started trailing on her leg, and then towards her buttocks before placing it between Riley's thighs,

"Of course, you will plant it to me first," and with those words, Osk ripped Riley's pants,

"That's just the way it is. We"

"No, it's not!"

But alas, before anything else could be inserted in between the soft parts of a body again, a loud thunder reverberated in the aircausing all the snow within the arena to be blown away.

And as the cloud of white dissipated, a silhouette revealed herself, standing right beside Osk and Riley.

"What are you doing!?"

"You can wait for your turn, Princess."

"Release him now!"

"...Aerith?"
