Brighteyes slashed the deity, stunning him. He hissed, running after her. She checked her health. 43/100. This was not going well.
Telamon could keep fighting for days, he’s the SFOTH champion for Telamon’s sake. She ran behind a wall, hoping she’d have enough time to heal. He quickly followed after her, ignoring the other players. Their child, 1x4, followed after the two in an attempt to save her mom.
Brighteyes noticed that there was a dead end. Her sword cooldown was over, so she could fight back. She searched through her pockets to find a piece of candy or anything she could use to heal. She already used all her healing items, and their healer, Daisy, was already dead. Telamon stopped, and stared at her. She readied her stance, looking back at her. He swung first, which she countered before stunning him. “There’s no use fighting me.” He taunted before stabbing her.
20/100. She was dead.
1x tried to help her by using their sword to stun their creator, but Telamon used the force of his wings to smack her into a wall. He approached her, backing her into a corner.
Brighteyes wanted to swing again, but he snatched her sword.
“Telamon recommends you stop resisting his affection.”
She furrowed a brow.
“…Affection?” She questioned, staring at the blood on his sword. There’s a 85% he’s trying to kill her, as he usually kissed her first. It was condition for the deity. The other 15% was when he attempted to mate with her, not knowing that humans don’t usually use violence during sex. That was an interesting (and traumatic) round.
“Affection.” He repeated, grabbing her waist and kissing her. Brighteyes shoved him, freeing herself from his grasp temporarily. 1x looked mortified, his mother is trapped near a deity who had plans to kill them both. Or maybe just the others in the round.
“Shed you just tried to kill me.”
“Telamon.”
“Well you still tried to kill me!”
“It would benefit you to use my title properly, wife.” He spat, already moving closer to her. She stood as straight as she could to block whatever attack was coming her way. He went for a slash, she blocked and countered, punching him square in his face. The deity growled and immediately held his face.
“…Telamon sees that Brighteyes isn’t fond of Telamon.”
She used the time he was stunned to run, making sure to take 1x with her. They hid in a different area, one with more walls.
“…I’m so sorry— Did he hurt you?”
Brighteyes immediately said, trying to care for her child. 1x shook his head.
“No, mother, I’ll be fine.” He replied, watching Brighteyes sigh with relief.
“Telamon did quite a bit of damage on you, though…” 1x mumbled. Brighteyes didn’t really care, as long as 1x was safe.
“I’m fine, dear.”
The mother stated before checking the stats so far. Everyone else was dead, meaning they were next. It had barely been 10 minutes. Brighteyes sighed. She knew what she had to do.
“…1x, please leave. I don’t want him hurting you.” She spoke gently. 1x’s expression looked concerned. He didn’t just want to leave her to die.
“But he’ll hurt you!” They complained in that same whiny manner when Brighteyes told them to go to bed. It felt different, though.
“I’ll be fine, it’s just one time.”
1x didn’t budge. He continued to stay near her, even with her motioning for him to hide.
“Mother, please…” She begged, tears starting to well in her eyes. Brighteyes never wanted to see her child cry, but this time she had to bear it.
“1x, I promise myself I’d never let anyone hurt my kids. Please…”
1x sighed and ran off. She watched, making sure he was far away.
She wasn’t going to die permanently, just temporary. And it was going to hurt. She ran the other direction, looking for Shedletsky, or Telamon. She spotted a medkit around Daisy’s corpse, and walked over to it. Then, Telamon stuck. He dashed behind her and entangled her with a sword. 1/100. Yikes. She didn’t try to free herself, it wasn’t worth fighting. Suddenly, he picked her up.
“Telamon assures Brighteyes that he can care for her wounds.”
“…What?”
“Brighteyes is injured.”
“I’m fine!”
“…Brighteyes is actively bleeding, which is ruining Telamon’s robe.”
”…Please, don’t lie to me.” He quietly states, dropping his formal voice. She nods and stops fighting him. He sat her down against a generator, covered in John’s blood, and went to grab the medkit. He walked back over to his lover and began to patch up her injuries.
Brighteyes just stared at the deity tending to her wounds like a nurse. There was an uncomfortable silence between them. Telamon was not pleased with her lack of words.
“…Wife. Speak.”
“W-What?”
“Speak.”
She didn’t bother finding out why, and just talked about everything. Mainly their kids. Telamon enjoyed her voice, a small smile on his face as she spoke.
“…And then 1x fought 2x, but I had to break it up so she didn’t kill her little brother…”
He was barely listening to her, just noticing how her voice sounded. He finished healing her after around 30 minutes, not leaving much time to spare in the round.
“Thanks.” She muttered. Telamon’s ego ran on compliments and praises. His wings started slowly flapping at her praise.
“It’s no problem for the great Telamon to assist a mere mortal.” He stated, smirking. Brighteyes rolled her eyes, not wanting to challenge him. His ego was also easily shattered. Telamon started staring at Brighteyes. She noticed but didn’t have a clue how to approach the situation.
“…Wife.” He spoke, his voice a low growl.
“You sound like Jane talking to John.” She giggled.
“Silence.” He hissed.
“I want to take you.”
“…You dropped the 3rd person god talk to say you wanted to rail me?”
“No!” Telamon shouted, annoyed. His face burned with embarrassment.
“Seriously it’s fine to admit you wanted to fuck-”
“Telamon simply asked you to join Telamon in a simple trip to where the other killers reside.” He interrupted. Brighteyes nodded.
“Or that.”
“You disgust me.” Telamon shivered as the purple-haired woman laughed.
“Ah, so you’ve discussed me?” She teased, leaning in closer to his face.
“I’m a trust fund baby you can trust me-” (/ref)
“MOM, WHAT THE HELL?!”
The two turned to look at their child, who was disgusted, watching their mom, and their creator flirt.
“How long have you been there?!”
“…The entire time.”
“…1x.”
“I didn’t want you to die!”
“Telamon wouldn’t dare kill his mating partner-”
“Ew! Don’t word it like that!” 1x shouted, covering his ears.
Before 1x could do anything about it, the round ended. 1x wanted to vomit, and the other survivors were crackling.
“Wow! Your mom and Telamon?” Mafioso mocked. He was one of 1x’s least favorite survivors.
“Oh, let’s not forget about you, that unfortunate gambler and that greasy cannibal pizza boy, you glorified tax collector!”
“Where is your mom, anyways?” Daisy asked, looking around the cabin.
“Probably with Telamon.” John Doe answered, watching horror dawn on 1x’s face.

The killers looked at the deity with horror. 007n7 was laughing, Jane Doe couldn’t process emotions, Elliot and Chance were gossiping, Taph and Dusekkar were just making out in the corner but that’s tmi, and Builderman was sighing.
“…You were going to fuck my mom in front of EVERYONE?!”
“Telamon is your parent as well.” He simply stated, glancing at 2x, his younger child.
“Telamon you’re practically a sperm donor!”
“Be grateful your mom ordered for Telamon not to attack our children.” He snapped.
“Don’t threaten my kid.” Brighteyes spoke up. Telamon hadn’t even notice she teleported with him. She had her sword back since the round ended, and everyone returns back to their normal states. Telamon just picked her up again and walked off with her.
“Where are you taking my mom?!”
“To my chambers, obviously.” He answered, dropping the 3rd person speech again.
Brighteyes huffed, just sleepy.
He opened his door, revealing an entire realm, which definitely woke Brighteyes up.
“Hold on, HOW IS THE ENTIRE SFOTH HERE—” Telamon quickly covered her mouth, stepped into his realm and closed the door. He made sure the door was locked before uncovering her mouth.
“I wish you wouldn’t speak so loudly when next to me. It pains me. Literally.” He muttered while putting his wife down.
“Sorry!” She laughed, looking up at the deity. Since she wasn’t running for her life, she could really look at her husband. He looked the same, mostly. His brown curly hair, his elegant moss green eyes, just with wings. His wings were mainly black with an exception of gold on the top of them. He was also taller than her, which was sad since she was taller than him before being forsakened. It was only 3 inches, but, as Telamon says, “3 inches is still a lot.”
…He was talking about height too, you know.
Brighteyes went to look around the realm, noticing that there was a nest at the tallest point. It didn’t look comfy, but if that’s how Telamon slept, she wouldn’t judge him. Telamon noticed her staring and grabbed her hand, dragging her towards his nest.
“Don’t just drag me!”
“You’ll be fine…”
When they reached his nest, he gently stepped into it and pulled his wife closer to him. He sat down, and she followed suit. Brighteyes cuddled up to her husband’s chest, sitting in his lap. His wings surrounded the two, but also worked to stop her from leaving. She wished her children were cuddled up with them too, that way the family would be reunited. But for now?
This would do.
