From here they wouldn't have to worry about ambushes from corners they couldn't look at or attacks from above. \n\nDownside... here is no way to get cover if they were ambushed. \n\n``Well... I am surprised how well we got through.'' admits Zane ``I were sure we would be at least one or times be attacked. Be it from wild animals, bandits or Fomsworns.'' \n\n``Don't call it too early'' countered Saphire ``We're still quite a distance to the nearest settling. And a good sleep well only welcome me when we reach Whiterun self.'' while putting her own deadric gauntlets on, flexing her hands a little as the familiar weight pulled on them, nodding satisfied. \n\n``I agree with your girlfriend'' nodded Myst the Zorua Assassin ``So let's not wait too long and instead make haste.'' and the three moved as quickly as they could over the place, knowing the dangers of it. \n\nNot that the three dark types weren't dangerous on their own... as a Sabre Cat has to learn as it tried to pounce Saphire. The wild predator didn?t have a chance to really realize what happened to it, as Saphire ducked under the pounce and slammed her armored fist against the stomach of it. A nasty knack was heard and the cat flew a meter or two in the air before landing in the near of the small group... and the way it laid was just unnatural, showing that she effectively broke not only all rips but also it's spine. \n\nThe animals' eye showed pain and shock at the same time but not for long as Saphire sword pierced its heart, ending the life of it. Cleaning her weapon on the fur of the large feline, she sheets it and turns to the other two. While Zane gave a desperate sigh, the stunned look of Myst said clearly she didn't expect that show of strength. \n\nSaphire shrugged in self-defense \"The gauntlets are enchanted.\" \n\n``And this is some serious enchantment... did a master did that with a Grand Soul gem?'' asks Myst bewildered \n\nTapping on her chin, the sneasel thought for a moment and shrugged ``Not a clue! I got them like that when the Deadric I fought against concede defeat.\" then chuckles \"Boy sure run as hell afterward. As he couldn't leave for the Oblivion.'' \n\n``That... makes me a little uncomfortable.'' sweatdrops Myst, not wanting to know the entire story... she would properly have her mind broken or the likes due to that. Shaking her head, they continued to follow the street until they saw a fort in the distance. \n\n``Ah... that place.'' chuckles Myst `Was not easy to sneak in and kill the bandit leader that took that place. Thought that dragon attack helped.'' \n\nThat got the other two attentions and Zane looks closer at Myst ``You survived a dragon attack?'' \n\nNodding the Zorua explained ``Was really simple... I first killed the bandit by shoving him off the tower he stood to shoot that beast with arrows, then I climbed down the tower and as fast as possible went to the underground are and wait there. Until the rumbling and faint screams were gone, I got up again, killed one or two survivors and went my way.'' \n\nThe two nodded and Saphire shrugs \"Well I was with a few fellow companions out to kill a few dragons... man were these thought battles. Still, wonder why I was so mad to go against something that can breathe FIRE.'' \n\n``Yeah... not the smartest move considering your type.'' agrees Zane. ``And now that we speak of being smart: I don't think it was smart of us for not taking an archer or a mage with us'' \n\n``Where do you think should we have gotten one on short notice?'' asks Saphire with a huff ``Especially that we pretty much broke out of prison and should lay low for a while.'' \n\n``Put that way...'' he states ``You got a point here.'' and looks at Myst \n\n``I had to act on a very short notice and with limited resources... and both, time and resources were spend on getting you out.'' was the explanation of the female assassin. ``So not sorry for being unable to get an archer accompanied us. Especially when we have to account for the fact, that this company must be able to keep the mouth shut. And the list of people I would trust regarding THAT matter is very short... and that includes those who are dead.''\n\n``Trusting issues?'' smirks Saphire \n\nThe Zorua shook her head ``Not completely... but regarding what we talk about it is a very delicate matter. One that could kill Zane if the wrong person hears it.'' \n\nSaphire froze at that statement. Looking at Zane she asks ``Sure you want to keep playing that game?'' \n\n\"As you were better as a member of the companions!\" was his answer to that question.\n\n``You got me here'' sighs Saphire with raised arms. The three spend some time to remove the skin, teeth, and eyes to sell them later at the town, as the pelt can be used for leather and the eyes and teeth as ingredients for potions.\n\n and the three continued the way. After passing the fort and the nearby tower they reached the town Whiterun with ease. Thought at the gate they were stopped and asked about their business. \n\nSaphire looked at the guard flat ``I am Saphire, daughter of April. Member of the Companions. These two are here with me. So why bothering to stop us?'' \n\n``We are on orders to stop anybody who doesn't live in the town. And as anybody could color their feathers blue, it isn't proof you're the genuine Saphire.'' \n\n``Oh, and coloring Sneasel's natural red eye colors to blue is as easy as well?'' hissed Saphire ``Look at my eyes, and claim again that I am not who I am. I dare you!'' \n\nThe guard stepped back and at that moment another got just out of one of the towers and called ``Let them in Robert! For the sake of the Nine and the legendaries, let them in! I have no mood to explain why Saphire is again rampaging against the ranks of us guards!'' \n\nThe mentioned Robot instantly stifled and went to open the door. As the three passed through it, Robert looked at the other guard ``But our or-'' \n\n``Are not worth to risk being mutilated! Saphire is dammed known for her rampages if you piss her off. Nobody with a clear mind would even pose her! Heck under which rock did you live to NOT know that infamous member of the companions?\" \n\n``I just moved in from Rorickstead recently and everybody only told me to not piss off Saphire if I favor life without fragile bones.\" \n\n``A good thing to know but worth nothing if you don't put it into practice.\" told his friend \"Next time you see her, see if her request is reasonable and let her do it. If not then keep her busy without triggering her anger and send for the companions. They are gods dammed the only group who can deal with her temper tantrums. I bet she would have simply thrown you through the gate to get it open if I haven't stepped in.'' \n\nTo that Robert gulped and wondered how such a dangerous woman is even allowed to ENTER Whiterun hold at all... though he reasoned that as Companions member, it would have been more trouble to deal with the Companions adepts to bring their shield sister back to their base, then simply keeping an eye out for her and call the companions for the slightest hint of trouble. \n\nIn the Mannered Mare Inn, the three took a seat and have ordered three meals and mead while Saphire wondered ``So you two, what are your plans from here?'' \n\n\"For my part, I have to report back... haven?t been in the Sanctuary for quite too long,\" admits Myst, who glances a bit to the crowd, spotting her fellow Brotherhood member Samantha and they made a quick communication about meeting later. \"So I am dealing with something in town, and then leave early in the morning.\" \n\n``After I got briefed by Myst, I return to the thieves guild in Riften... I just don't know yet which route I should take. Either risking the ice highs of the route over Helgen... it is shorter but who knows who inhabit the dead place now.\"\n\n``The other route would lead over Winterhold... a route that is infamous for its bandits and giant infestations... not to mention at least once a week you can find a necromancer at the stone\" mused Saphire ``Both cases not really in favor for traveling alone. Especially for one who cannot fight.'' \n\nThe Umbreon glared at Saphire ``I can defend myself!'' \n\n``In case the guards are after you. But as you're good in sneaking in stealing, you left quite behind the skills necessary to kill something.'' countered Saphire ``So I will look if there is a job in the Rift and then I escort you over to Riften! Like it or not!'' \n\n``Fine, fine'' sighs the Umbreon ``You win Saphire.'' just as the plates of their meals are brought. The three began to eat and Myst mused ``Say how are you going to sleep tonight?'' \n\n``I take Zane to my house'' replied Saphire. Myst raised an eyebrow ``You got a house?\" \"Due to the kind of jobs I take, getting enough money to pull that off is easy. Especially if you throw in all the loot you can get.'' \n\n``You got a point here'' agreed the Myst ``I have a spot to sleep so I take after dinner we won't see each other for a while.'' \n\n``I am not that eager to see you again... or knowing that you are seeing Zane,\" said Saphire, glaring at the zorua. \n\nSensing the hot waters she is at this very moment, she raised her hands in defense \"I keep the relationship entirely on the business level. No worries about your lover being unfaithful towards you.\" \n\n\"Good... if I learn otherwise, there will be a broken neck,\" warned Saphire, holding the knife she used to cut her meal threatening against Myst. \n\nThe Zorua nods and decides not to try and piss that sneasel off. While she knows the strengths and weaknesses of sneasels well, this blue feathered one obliviously knew it... and she knows how to fight empty-handed. Even Khajiit and Argonians or other Pokemon with natural claws don't know it that well, aside from moves. Everybody replied mostly on weapon skills or on magic. The Zorua don't know when was the last time a Pokemon purely relied only on instincts and on the moves it knew. For all, she could say it was properly even before Tamriel was named such. \n\nOf course, the Legendary Pokemon can still crush anybody with their moves alone but for Myst's reasoning, Legendary Pokemon are... Legendary for a solid reason. \n\nShaking the head, Myst paid her share of the meal and stood up, leaving the inn, going to a spot Where Samantha would see her late to let her into Breezehome... \n\nSaphire and Zane, on the other hand, left the inn shortly after and head towards her home, a small two stories high building close to the walls protecting the trading town. She unlocked the door and the two head in, lighting the lamps in there. Once the last lamp was lit, the two sat down on the single table of the house and have two bottles of mead. As she drank hers, she asks \"So... what will you do now?\"\n\nZane looked at his girlfriend and admits \"I going back to Riften, act like usual in the guild and find who the traitor might be.\"\n\n\"I don?t like it that you are risking your neck for them. After all, they won?t be risking anything for you. If you get captured and get killed they won?t even bother to acknowledge your existence. At least you get remembered in the Companions if you fall.\"\n\n\"Saph... you know as well as I do we live in different worlds. As little as you would leave the Companions to become a thief, the little I would leave the guild to join the companions.\" Reasoned Zane \n\nSighing loudly Saph downed her meat \"I hate it when you come up with solid reasons.\" Then she looks at him \"But that and your firm standing in your position are two of the aspects I like so much on you...\" \n\n\"And I love how open you are with your opinions... and how little you let others tell you what to do.\" Zane admits and moves over to her to kiss her lips.\n\nHaving other ideas, however, Saphire pulled Zane over and wrapped her arms around his body and pressed her lips against his. \n\nZane was surprised at first but caught on quick as they did that countless times. Their lips parted and their tongues began to dances around each other while their arms are holding each other?s bodies close, their eyes shut to enjoy the sensation much more. \n\nHolding each other for a while, they slowly go and reach their hands out towards the straps which were holding their protective clothes together... slowly they lose them, preparing the clothes of either fall off or be pulled off once they were stopping the kiss and lose the tight hold they had on each other. \n\nOnce the last strap was open, Saphire pulled her head off, ending the kiss and gazed into the eyes of Zane who gazes aback. Saphire pulled Zane?s dagger and imperial sword from him and tosses it to a corner, still keeping him close. Zane repeated the favor with her back strapped swords and her Deadric Gauntlets. Smoking to her, she stepped back from him but grabbed his Thieves Guild uniform and pulled the top off his body, revealing his toned upper body while his pants are falling off, the only thing covering his private parts are the loin clothe everybody wears under the clothes. \n\nTossing the jacked off, Saphire holds her arms out while Zane slipped out of his boots and steps towards Saphire, whose pants have failed down already (As she doesn't work boots due the large claws of the feet.). Without hesitation, her leather armor was pulled off as well, showing the two dark lovers in their underwear. Saphire suggeriert with a wink of her finger to Zane to come closer which he did and as he was standing close to her, she used one hand to guide his head while another removed the band around her chest which covered and hold her breast. \n\nUnderstanding her intentions, Zane closes his eyes and opens his mouth, starting to suckle as he was guided to her left breast, the tongue brushing against her nipple, making the Sneasel murr in pleasure. \n\nHer free hand reaching for her right breast, she began to fondle it, rubbing it's underside, sighing as Zane's hand were reaching behind her, taking a firm hold on her butt checks, squeezing and massaging them while busy with her chest, causing to make Saphire to murr pleased followed by soft moans, letting him work on her, her folds starting to moist as she thought that it was too long since she has seen her lover, and even way too long as the two showered each other?s bodies with the love that would make the goddess Dibaella proud. Or Sanguine if they were going the deep end of things. Her thoughts wandered off to her brother Simon for a moment but she snapped back to Zane almost as fast, as the Umbreon was here, the male Sneasel not. \n\nThen she pulled the head of the Umbreon off her chest and strokes his head. In their understanding, she kneels down and he rubbed his nose unto her wet folds, rubbing it on her while taking deep breaths of her nose.\n\nSaphire moaned pleased and smiles while scratching behind the ears of her lover, letting him have a taste of her wetness for a while before she smirks \"Time to hit the bed.\"\n\nZane looked up at her and pounds \"Do we have really?\"\n\n\"Trust me, my purple Umbreon\" she teases to him and smirks at him, removing his hold on her and moves to the bed. Zane sighs and went after her... before the dark/ice type claws grabbed her suddenly and threw him on the bed. He gasps in surprise and stared at he before she felt her grip on his balls, massaging them.\n\n\"I have a plan\" purred Saphire \"And you thief will follow it...\"\n\n\"As you order my jarl\" moaned Zane and while her claws are caressing the balls, she starts licking the shaft of his manhood, and he leans back, keeping his body up with his hands as he didn?t dare to hold her head. \n\nThe licking keeps on and she even took the piece of male meat into her mouth and began to bob her head up and down on it, wetting the length with her salvia. Zane groaned and close his eyes as she savors the activity of hers and the feeling she causes. \n\nOnce Saphire was satisfied with the growth his manhood archived under her care, she raised up and spreads his legs. Zane did not protest and was curious what she is planning. She sat in front of his dick and places her legs on his sides, and made him place a hand on her back while hers was on the neck.\n\nAnd Zane smiles and the two moved closer and she guides his proud into her hole, murring as she felt the tip going in her and the two shared a deep kiss before Zane pulled her and his lap, shoving his proud in the same time into her deeps. Moaning the Sneasel positions her legs a bit and began to move up and down on his shaft to which Zane moans into the kiss.\n\nTheir arms are around the two, not letting them go and she moves faster on him, her walls clenching on his proud, their tongue dancing with each other. Feeling like eternity. \n\nBreaking the kiss they looked at each other?s eyes, gazing into their souls as she still went up and down on his shaft, slowed down for a better view and then starts pushing him on the bed. \n\nZane arms were up and hold Saphire?s hands who grew furious with lust and moves her hips forward and backward, groaning and Zane was loud in the pleasure as well. The two lovers kept on with the movements. \n\nA shout of surprise came as Zane pulled her down and kissed her. Kissing back she doesn?t mind as Zane rolled around, being on top now. Pulling his legs in he kneels now on the bed and holds on Myst hips to keep his proud in her and starts pounding. \n\nCrossing her legs behind him so he wouldn?t lose the grip, a loud groan came from the dark type and holds on the sheets as he felt the hard movements and her breast moves according to his trusts, her tongue out of her mouth in delight and she moans. \n\nGroaning Zane keeps on the pounding and their fur began to have goosebumps from the feelings they felt. Her walls are milking hard and tight around him, which to his delight was a wonderful and wet feeling. A feeling he doesn?t want to stop and he pounded even harder into her, going for his limit. A limit that Saphire was welcoming in her female lust. \n\nZane leans down, his hands next to her hands and pounds as much as he could with the aid of his weight. The arms of the females grabbed his ones and she groaned and pulled him in, kissing him once more. \n\nAccepting the kiss the two felt their limits and Zane stopped with speed and went for pure roughness into her, groaning into the kiss, a groan which were muffled returned and then they stiffed... stiffed for a reason.\n\nHis dick was as deep as it was possible, their limbs pulling them close to each other. The balls of the Umbreon began to leave their blue state, to release the load through the shaft into the womb of the female, who accepted it, her inners filled with fluids to ensure the contents within the white cream would reach any treasure she might hide in the dungeon. \n\nThey hold the kiss despite the heavy breaths they would take now just to savor their love and fulfilled lust as possible. \n\nOnce the last of the drops are spend, the fusion of lips broke and the two stared at each other, panting, their fur glittering from the sweat which wets them. \n\nSmirking at him she said \"I hope you didn?t train with other girls... because you got quite good.\"\n\n\"And how I know you didn?t train with guys?\" he countered \n\nSaphire laughs \"I train daily with guys.... The question is... what kind of training are you referring to?\"\n\nThe two chuckles and Zane laid down on her, and the two sealed their lips once more. \n\nFor now, they are neither thief nor warrior...\n\nJust one loving couple in a place watched by the nine and the legendaries... and perhaps a few daedra...\n\nThought as the Sneasel woke up on the next day, she first noticed that her Umbreon wasn't in bed. Groaning she got up and went to her storage and yes, that thief took everything he needs to reach safely Riften. \n\n\"Oh, Zane! Next time I see you, I crush your thieving fing-`` she stopped as she noticed on the table three objects...\n\nOne was a bottle of Argonian Bloodwine. In itself an expensive piece. However, on the label she could see the year of the wine... and due to an... unpleasing event she knew it was a very good year and VERY expensive. Roughly five times the normal prize. \n\nThe second was a small bag of money. Enough to feed her through the month and still have some left. \n\nAnd the third... a letter. From Zane.\n\n``Dear Saphire!\n\nSorry that I left like that, but I didn't want to stay around too long with you trying to keep me off the guild. The only reason why you were never bothered by other thieves is that I labeled your house... but that label is only as long working as long I am a member of the guild. \n\nAnd given what is going on... I need to ensure the guild is safe, so your home is safe from being empty. \n\nI know it isn?t like keeping you safe from people that want to kill you but whoever tries to kill you is either an idiot or don?t want to live anymore.\n\nFor compensation for that, I leave you this money and the wine.\n\nAnd something to laugh at. \n\nLove\n\nZane.''\n\nSaphire was scratching her head for a moment before she realized that Zane could never afford such a wine and thus must have stolen it. Like the money. Quickly she hid the wine and money in her secret storage under the bed. Not a moment too soon as she heard a knock on her door. Quickly she got some simple robes on her body to be covered, goes to the door and opens it. \n\nFinding a guard where she asks \"Yes?\"\n\n``We are searching for a thief! Did you see one?''\n\n``Aren't thieves common in Whiterun?\" she countered \"And what has stolen that a guard knocks on my door?''\n\n``Somebody broke into the rooms of the Thalmor ambassador Runiootan Highorin and stole his money and a bottle of wine. And now we are searching all place. \n\nSaphire had to put up her willpower to not laugh before stating ``Nope! Haven't noticed one. Want to search my house or what?''\n\nThe guard shakes his head a bit too quickly and said ``Nope! I doubt that a member of the Companions like you would be with a thief. Excuse me.'' And rushes off.\n\nSaphire grinned and close the door and starts laughing ``Zane! I don't know how you knew that I had a bone to pick with Runiootan! But you stealing his money and wine for me is the best you did so far!'' and keeps laughing, planning to enjoy the wine at a good moment.\n\n","writing_bbcode_parsed":"A deep sigh escaped Zane as he with Myst and Saphire left the mountains behind and entered the wide fields of Whiterun.
