A Good Plan

Hubris was overcome with joy. He wasn't even tired anymore, he was busy celebrating the victory over his master.

"This surely means, you revoke my punishment?"

"We had no such deal!"

"Can we wager on that then?"

"Fine, when we conquer this mountain, if you win, I'll revoke your punishment. If I win, I'll add to it."

Hubris nodded in agreement, he didn't exactly need to eat, but he liked it. It healed him faster than his natural body did. 10 seconds may seem like not a lot, but it could decide the victor on a battlefield.

Kiro decided for them to stay there for the night, the blood and guts were already gone. The only proof that this was ever a battlefield were the broken down rocks, and the craters on the ground.
