The room was simple enough, including only a bed, a night stand, a table and a few chairs along with one window that overlooked the main courtyard.

Laz directed Athena up on to the bed before removing the rope that served as a lead. He didn’t remove the hood however, keeping her identity a secret from their guest.

"So um... what... should I do?" Chloe asked, as she looked around, her brain beginning to fight her instincts.

"It’s simple. Since I will be occupied, I need you to keep an eye on our prisoner to ensure that she doesn’t try anything as I might get a bit distracted in my work. As you can see, this room isn’t really designed to lock someone up in and I have to ensure I don’t let an assassin loose in the castle.

"Oh Uh... yes. I can do that..." Chloe said, somewhat relieved at the fact that she wouldn’t be asked to participate in whatever was going to happen. While it wouldn’t normally bother her to extract information from a prisoner as she had been trained in such tactics on the battlefield, this wasn’t exactly a battlefield.

Taking up her weapons, she stood at attention, right in front of the door, taking comfort in such a normal activity.

"Alright. I see your commitment, but such strictness is going to be distracting. At least slide a chair over and sit down to relax a bit," Laz groaned, seeing her unable to relax. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Right... I.... Ok," Chloe wanted to refuse, but she could see the logic in such a thing and drew over one of the chairs from the table, set it in front of the locked door and sat down.

"Excellent. Did you hear that bitch? We will be having an audience for our activities. Does that make you happy?" Laz asked, getting on the bed with Athena and slightly undoing the bag over her head. She seemed to whimper a little as it seemed like Laz might remove it, but instead he reached up inside and undid the gag, bringing the strap of leather out of the bag before retightening the strap that held it in place.

Laz looked down at the gag, only to find it covered with saliva.

"Ha. Seems like you were drooling just as much as you were dripping? Has this been a good time for you? Being paraded around like the bitch you are for all to see?" Laz asked as she lifted her up by the chin. While he was sure she couldn’t see him, he knew that the gesture wouldn’t be missed.

Laz waited for a moment without getting a response.

"I asked you a question. Did you enjoy it?:" Laz asked again, digging his fingers into her soft cheeks harder to let her know he expected an answer.

"Yes..." Came the soft, almost inaudible response. She had wanted to say no but something in her told her she should be honest.

"I figured as much. You might try to lie to me and to yourself, but your body won’t let you," Laz pointed out before bringing a hand between her legs and letting his middle finger slip inside.

"AHHH?" Athena squeaked, surprised at the sudden penetration. But her shock quickly turned to moans as his one, man sized finger began to penetrate deep, causing feelings she had never felt before.

"Isn’t it better to be true to yourself? Pride makes one arrogant. But we must remember that at the end of the day, we are nothing but animals of lust and desire. We can hide emotions deep within ourselves, but we should never hide our true selves," Laz said as he slipped another finger in.

With the increased stimulation, Athena’s back arched as her entire body felt like it was on fire with electricity running straight from Laz’s fingers to her brain. Under his constant assault, Athena could no longer focus, could no longer think. Her brain went blank as Laz poked and rubbed her special spot over and over again, the assault causing her to go blank as her body began to shake. Without warning, Laz felt the gushing of liquid as Athena’s entire body went taunt and her hips rose into the air as though being pulled up by string. Laz pulled back in time to see her release a hose like stream of liquid that shot through the air. Not being able to help himself, Laz reached forward and rubbed her clit with soft yet fast strokes, causing the orgasm to extend as more and more liquid shot out from within until her taunt legs and arms could no longer support her and Athena’s body came crashing down, several more smaller orgasms pounded through her along with a few additional shots of liquid being projected. Afterwards, her body lay still, interrupted by the occasional twitch.

Laz looked down at her before turning his attention to Chloe who sat there shocked, liquid still dripping down her face and armor.

"By the ancestors..." Chloe finally said, wiping herself off with a rag she pulled from somewhere.

"And we are only just starting..." Laz said with a laugh before turning back to Athena who laid there panting, her eyes closed.

"Wake up. It’s too soon for you to rest," Laz said, shaking her with no success., He then moved to hover over her and gave her a few good slaps, both to her breasts and to her still sensitive womanhood. With such actions, Athena finally came back to herself.

"So do you understand yet?" Laz asked the panting woman.

"Understand...?" She said, her voice a hoarse whisper.

"I see. Ok. I guess this means we aren’t there just yet," Laz said as he stood and disrobed, dropping his clothing to the floor and standing before her.

"Holy mother of the nation," Chloe gasped in shock at seeing just what Laz was hiding beneath his robes.

"What?" Laz asked, turning to face the guard without shame.

"You.... You’re.... are you sure you aren’t part beast? Like some sort of horse human?" She asked, her unashamed gaze staring straight at his manhood.

"Ha. Nope. Sorry. Can’t say that I am. I am, however, an Asura..." Laz said, being honest.

Laz then turned back to Athena, reaching forward, he grasped the strap that was holding the hood on her head and loosened it.

"Time for this to go. You will never be comfortable being yourself until you can be totally yourself," Laz said. As he began to pull up the hood, Athena’s hands shot up and grasp it, unable to let herself be shown to anyone.

"No... Please...." She said, her voice fearful.

"Are you afraid?" Laz asked, his voice gentle for the first time since this whole show started.

"Yes."

"Why? Tell me..."

"Because... How can I continue to live... once they know about this? How can I keep being... me?"

"Do you believe that what you were up until now was you? Do you think that you’ve been honest with yourself? You built a wall of pride made with the bricks of adoration that people provided for you. You made yourself a god in their eyes and forgot the human side that still defines who you are. They lifted you up and you just let yourself get swept away in the waves. And because of that, you trapped yourself within this perfect image of you, one that can’t fail. One that can’t faulter, And now.. because of that, you can’t succeed either. To break the shell and ascend to godhood, you must understand not only your path, but also yourself. You know your path... but it’s time to embrace the self," Laz said, not fighting her hands.

He had given her the chance she needed. It was up to her to take the step.

While the minutes wove by, Chloe, who had heard everything, started to get really nervous as it dawned on her that the person Laz was currently speaking with wasn’t just some assassin.

’Oh fuck...’

Athena’s hands finally dropped from the mask as her resolve hardened. She knew he was right and if what he said was right, then maybe he was correct with his cure.

Laz removed the hood for the first time since they had left the lounge, leaving it to fall on to the floor as Athena, the people’s goddess of battle, rest naked on all fours, her ass in the air as she face the pale faced Chloe.

’FUCK ME...’ Chloe thought to herself.

Laz drifted behind her as Athena stared straight at Chloe, her eyes ablaze with spirit.

Athena smiled as she noticed the look of fear on Chloe’s face. As she opened her mouth to speak, Laz plunged in deep from behind, making her cry out in shock.

"EEEEECCCCCKKKKKKK... Oh... my.... ancestors...." Athena said as she felt Laz urge even deeper,

"Fuck... oh fuck...oh.... how... how is there more...?" Athena said, her eyes closing as she gripped the covers of the bed tighter and lowered her head.

"Gods... you’re going into... AAAHHHHH"

Laz then pulled back and slammed in again, getting deeper than before before pulling back and repeating the process. Again and again he slammed into her as Athena’s head dropped lower and lower. Soon, she was panting as the drool came.

"You. Bring a mirror," Laz ordered Chloe who quickly moved the large, human sized mirror over to in front of Athena.

"This is who you are in the end..." Laz said, showing Athena herself in the mirror.

"Yes.... This is me...."
