Talon's stamina was starting to wear out, he had been fighting Vertigo for hours and his injuries were starting to catch up with him. Vertigo tail swiped him and launched him into the tree line. Talon started to cough up blood, lots of blood.

Vertigo giggled when she saw the young raptor stand up once more for the third time, more determined than ever. 'Hehehe, he is so persistent, that's what makes him cuter' she thought. She then blocked a claw swipe, and countered with head but, Talon was launched to the ground again, he tried to get up, but couldn't, he sustained to much damage from the goddess. The raptor then collapsed in pain, he could barely move, Vertigo saw this and then started to slowly strut forward to him with a cute smile on her scaly face. 'Im not gonna kill him, he's to cute, valuable, and handsome for me to do that to him, I got a better idea' she then giggled.

Talon was now seeing Vertigo right over his collapsed body. He shuts his eyes and prepares for the worst, but it never came. Instead he saw her muzzle get close to his, "you know, you are just so cute when your like that" she said, Vertigo then nuzzled him, she then started to cuddle him, Talon was confused, he felt her scales up against his, they were so warm. Talon started to like it, but then he started to pass out due to his injuries, the last thing he saw before blacking out was Vertigo's lips locking with his.

Talon's eyes shot open, he wasn't in the battlefield anymore, instead he was in a castle of some sort, he also noticed his wounds were healed. Where was he? He was about to find out until he felt somthing cuddling him. He looked down only to find a beautiful sleeping Vertigo laying on his chest. He watched her there for a while and saw something was different from when they first met, he didn't feel any hate or malice, nor any sadness or evil, or greed, only joy, happiness, and... Love?, the last thing confused him the most.

usually he would have the urge to kill her right then and there, but something in his heart told him different, he felt so calm and unnerved by the fact that the goddess of insanity was cuddling him. the strangest part was it felt soo good.

Vertigo started to stir from her sleep, and then looked up into the Raptor's eyes. She smiled, "well, look who decided to wake up" she giggled. "Where the hell am I?" He mumbled. "Aww~, Tally, don't be like that, i was soo nice to you, don't make me have to make you scream in agony and pain now" the serpentine giggled, 'leave it to Vertigo to make a threat sound cute or kinky' Talon thought as he mentally sweat drops, 'plus, Tally!?, what am I suddenly her mat-' he then stopped thinking as his eyes grow wide in realization on what was going on. Vertigo laughed in a cute way when she saw his face turn red, "hehe, now you see what's happening?... Love?" She whispers into his ear as she traces his chest with her claw. Talon couldn't believe it, him falling for Vertigo, but that could also explain why his heart rate increases every time he was around her. Talon didn't know what to do, should he accept his emotions towards her, should he resist, he didn't know. Only time could tell, for now, all he could do is lay there and enjoy the moment of peace, as Vertigo nuzzles him in joy. This was so wrong, yet so right.
