Chapter Text
The moon shone bright, illuminating the impressive fortress dominating the landscape. And a shadowy figure racing toward the towering wall.
The figure leapt and scaled the wall, pausing to get their bearings before clambering over the top. Once sure that no guards were nearby, the figure crept over the parapet and crawled into the adjacent tower.
Pyrrha glanced around, quickly looting the satchels and baskets before she climbed up the ladder and quickly took out the guard standing atop the tower. She scanned for her next target. No other guards were close. She would have to keep moving.
Leaping down to the parapet, Pyrrha crept cautiously along, always crouching to avoid detection. She made notes of the good places to dump the bodies of each guard she assassinated. Best to leave as little trace as possible. But for a fort this large, there were only so many places to hide a body, and some had to be left behind.
Nevertheless, she managed to avoid being spotted as she cleared one wall, then another. She combed every corner of the sprawling complex for any loot, for she was in dire need of drachmae and resources. Maintaining a full personal inventory was expensive for a misthios, after all.
Pyrrha was in the process of pillaging a chest full of such riches when she heard a distant shout. She crept back toward a window just in time to see one of the guards light the brazier.
Oh no... THE BRAZIER. SHE FORGOT TO SET THE TRAP.
Panic flooding her veins, Pyrrha urged herself to focus and continue clearing out the fort in stealth mode. Although she was largely successful in looting everything, the presence of fresh troops was making it increasingly difficult to move around.
And then she saw them: two bounty hunters arriving.
With a groan, Pyrrha decided that she might as well put up a fight before making her escape.
She raced to a nearby barrack and leapt up to the roof, crawling along and waiting for the perfect moment to strike. She knew that she couldn't kill either bounty hunter outright, even with the cloak of night to aid her, so she would have to settle for inflicting serious damage before engaging in a fierce melee.
Once the bounty hunter got close enough, she waited to strike... then she leapt and-
"Pyrrha?"
The redhead, dressed in her Kassandra t-shirt and athletic shorts, snapped her gaze away from her game to see her girlfriend standing by the doorway in her nightgown. Quickly turning her attention back to the TV to pause her game before Kassandra met an untimely end, she set the controller on her thigh and said, "Yes, Weiss?"
The white haired girl leaned against the doorframe. She looked tired. "Sweetheart, come to bed."
Pyrrha gave her an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, just let me finish this mission and I'll join you."
She picked up her PS4 controller and resumed playing. She didn't miss the sound of Weiss sighing out of barely concealed frustration - or the padding of bare feet across the floor as the smaller girl decided that she was not going back to bed without her Amazonian girlfriend to cuddle.
Instead, Weiss crawled onto Pyrrha's lap and nestled her head against her chest. Pyrrha didn't protest in the slightest, simply adjusting her arms so that she could cradle her girlfriend while continuing to play. A small smile crossed her face at how utterly adorable Weiss looked when sleepy and acting like a needy little lesbian. She nuzzled her cheek against the girl's head once she succeeded in getting Kassandra to take out the bounty hunters and kill the remaining guards.
As she escaped the fort and headed for the next objective, Pyrrha yawned, finally admitting to herself that she really did need to call it a night. She was very grateful that her girlfriend didn't murder her each time she spent four or five hours playing Odyssey. Then again, she always made up for it with plenty of cuddles.
Starting with her carrying her girlfriend koala-style back to their bedroom once she turned off the console for the night.
