(Drakken's POV)
"Viserra has finally recovered well enough to be standing up." Mya said as she sat on the desk right next to me as I looked at some documents, "She is spending time with your sons."
"Hm." I said, "That's fine, I guess."
"I heard what Ezra told our followers during the Ritual." She said
"And?" I asked
"Is it true?" She asked, "Do you intend to make her your wife?"
"What does it matter what he told them?" I said as I set a paper down and kept reading the other one, "The Ritual is done."
"Our followers will expect the Dragon Maiden to marry the Great God of War." Mya said, "Sooner or later, you will have to deliver that. And you might as well get it over with, considering that the two of you have been sneaking about, kissing and orally pleasuring each other."
"Does that make you envious?" I asked without looking at her
"Not really. I know that you will orally pleasure me should I ask you." She said, "But to avoid tension, you should just come out and declare that she is yours. I know you care for her, she sees you the way I do."
"And how is that?" I asked
"A god." She told me
"You see me as a husband." I told her, "Nothing more, nothing less."
"You are my husband." She told me, "And much more than that. You are my God, you are the Father of my precious son. You are larger than the concept of everything in this world. You know how I feel about you. I have always loved and worshipped you as my one true god, Lord Drakken. Always."
She pulled the paper out of my hands and set them down as she sat on my lap. She then patted my cheek as I stared at her with a neutral expression.
"Hm." I said, "You love and worship me?"
"You have given me everything I could ever ask for." She said softly, "You have given me a name, a son, a family...I love you. I have always loved you. And I will never love anyone like I love you and my children."
I gently rubbed her waist, "I admit, I am very fond of you. You....." I said as I leaned forwards and smelled her hair, "You are important to me. You..."
I embraced her and pressed my face against her chest, feeling her warmth resonate with mine.
"I...?" She asked
"You are magnificent." I said as I kissed her neck, "Giving me such a perfect son."
"His actions make him flawed, My Lord." She said as I groped her rear
"Nonsense." I said, "Flaws give incentive to improve. Riktor needed something like this. After he is done, he will come back and be what you promised me. I know it. I just know it. And I will show you my gratitude, Mya. I will have you for days on end, thanking you for giving me the perfect warrior that this House needed."
"Ah...." she said, "Days? Like Maegelle?"
"Mhm." I said as I kissed her cheek, "Someone as loyal and faithful as you deserves that and more...."
"But I hear you want another one from Maegelle." She said, "Is that true?"
"We'll cross that bridge when we get there." I told her with a smirk,
"I can give all of you attention."

(Third Person POV)
[Stepstones]
Riktor straightened up as his entire clothes were covered in blood, "Push forward!" He shouted, "Don't stop!!"
He pointed his bloodied greatsword forwards, signaling his men to advance. As he did so, his Duskguard Knights pushed forward, cutting down any Myrish soldiers in front of them. No matter how many there were, they were obliterated by the sudden push.
Riktor had finally decided to launch the attack on the island that held the main forces of the Myrish part of the Triarchy, taking them by surprise. At first, Riktor charged through the front atop Brutus, laying devastation and chaos all throughout the battlefield.
And as the enemy was disoriented, Riktor led his men into a direct frontal assault, cutting down anyone who was in front of him.
He had dismounted Brutus and led the charge himself, cutting down several men per swing, a terrifying sight before the Triarchy.
Arrows flew at the Duskguard Knights, but Riktor raised his arm up, stopping them with his Telekinesis. As this happened, Riktor noticed even more arrows flying at them, blocking out the sky.
"Tch....." He said as he stopped those two, "Keep going forward, close in on their base!"
He stood there, holding the arrows in place as more and more kept raining down towards them, only stopped by the telekinetic barrier he was holding up.
"My Lord!" a Knight said, "Can you hold it out for that long?"
"We'll find out." Riktor said with a serious scowl, "Brutus!!!!!!"
Suddenly, the massive wyvern charged from the far right, trampling down Triarchy soldiers as he snapped his jaws at anyone that was close.
"Take the lead, Brutus!" Riktor called, "Let me just..."
He flicked his wrist and turned the hundreds of arrows around, sending them flying back to where they came from. Everyone watched as a massive rain of arrows fell upon the base where they had come from, as more arrows flew towards them.
He assumed that while he rained the base down with arrows, they had some sort of cover that kept them from being skewered. He was sure that he had gotten dozens of men with that wave but considering that the base looked reinforced from a distance, it wouldn't be enough to cause major damage.
He needed to breach the base and destroy it completely from within. But to do that, he had to deal with the massive number of enemies that were defending it from the outside. Fortunately for him, he had a powerful juggernaut that could destroy everything in front of him.
Brutus was his winning ticket.
"Tch...." Riktor said as he kept the barrier up, "Go with Brutus, I'll keep the skies clear. Disrupt the archers, and when that happens, I will join you."
"What about the infantry here?" the Knight asked
"Don't worry." Riktor said, "I can fight and keep the barrier up, just go."
The Knight said and called to the others, "You heard Our Lord!" He shouted, "Advance with Brutus!"
Riktor watched as Brutus charged forwards, causing chaos that resulted in the loud cries of terror.
He had his arm raised as he held the waves of arrows in place, "Tch..." He said, "I am sure that even with Brutus...."
"This is going to be a pain."
