Description
After a fairly quick duel, the half demon was on the ground, weaponless, and the result seemed decided..

Safera: "Give up?"

Nemera: "And what if I don't? We were in this situation before, remember?"

Safera recalled the last time they exchanged blows, back when they were still enemies..

Safera: "Yes I remember."

Nemera: "We fought for so long amongst the ruins. I tracked you, attacked you many times, and each time you parried my attacks and forced me to retreat. I was bleeding and bruised everywhere, yet I kept coming back, trying to kill you."

Safera: "I remember dear. You didn't know when to give up."

Nemera: "You broke all my weapons, smashed my armor to bits, smacked my head against the column over there, and had me completely overpowered. I was in agony, shivering, with blood in my eyes and mouth and had to use all my strength to stay conscious when you asked me the same question."

Safera wasn't sure where her opponent was going with this talk..

Safera: "Nemera..."

Nemera: "And I said no. I hated you so much, I was convinced I could still win. Or maybe unconsciously I knew I had no chance and wanted you to kill me, to end my rage. But you didn't. You saved me, in more ways than one."

Safera recalled bringing the unconscious girl back to her camp and spending many sleepless nights healing wounds and caring for her. Many times Nemera came in and out of consciousness and screamed in pain. It broke Safera's heart to see her that way. Even if the half demon had been hunting her, Safera thought each life was precious.

Safera: "I just showed you the good that was already in you, buried deep in your heart."

Nemera: "Very deep.. I resented you for saving me, and thought you had some evil motives for not killing me that day. It took a long time before I realized you really cared for me and wanted to show me there was another way."

Safera: "Nemera.. There's no need to dwell on the past.."

Nemera: "No, I wanted you to know. You changed my life and I am eternally grateful for that. I have come to care for you more than I can express in words."

Tears came to Safera's eyes earing Nemera say that. She had grown very close to the girl and was happy to hear those words.

Safera: "That's very kind Nemera. But you still didn't answer my question.."

Nemera smiled and brought her finger on the edge of Safera's sword, as if defying her to make a move.

Nemera: "Alright, what if I don't surrender? What would you do with me then?"

Safera: "Well.. I would pick you up, bring you in my arms, hug you, and kiss you until you surrender."

The two girls looked at each others for a long time, both of them smiling. From being enemies just a few months ago, they had become bound for life.
