Returning Wolf's Paw [ohh, that sounds like a cool martial art technique]

The warmth of Ulv's embrace left her, and Cyng watched her walk to the balcony from behind. It wasn't until the bronzed woman leaned on the ledging that the Duulheim followed suit, standing right beside her.

"It might be hypocritical of me to say, but you sure do have changes of heart fairly quickly, dear. So quick come to me, so quick to leave me, so quick to leave much desired. But that's alright, as it's a part of who you are and a part of your charm. Apology accepted. As for that reward.."

From right next to her, then right in front of her, Cyng once more wrapped her arms around Ulv's neck to match their eyes directly, with Cyng looking up into the much taller woman's eyes and, hopefully, Ulv reciprocating. This time, the shine in the king's emerald eyes shined much brighter, that universe of infinite wisdom within it moving about and unlocking.

"Since you seem fine with it, this shall be your reward. I hope there are no regrets to feel hereafter."

[Gaze] was now in effect, and the world stopped for the two of them. Without rest, a flood of imagery would enter her mind, Ulv uniquely qualified to handle this flood of information considering her extreme mental fortitude and willpower. An entire universe would enter her mind, stars and galaxies flowing about as a kaleidoscope of colours and memories formed vivid sights incessantly. At the same time, she'd feel her own thoughts open up to be read, her past and even parts of her that weren't at the forefront of her knowledge. New information about her own body, the potential within her, the ways to strengthen her cultivation in a whole new world of methodology. Cyng was reading into her just as much as Ulv could read Cyng.

The king's memories came out, many sad, torturous events, loss of life and love, and the intense pain the Duulheim always carried. Ulv would also understand that Cyng was genuinely surprised by Ulv's strength of heart, such that she could also see much more than the usual. If Ulv stayed true, opening up her own heart and mind as much as Cyng was, she'd see the original Duulheim family, merrymaking in a world of their own before an oncoming darkness swept it all away, destroying any vestiges of joy in Cyng's heart, the sole survivor of the illustrious Duulheim Family. She'd see the pure scholar turn to madness, then vindication, wage war against the whole universe, gods, and fate itself, and come out victorious, but fallen. And now, through inexplicable means, Cyng found herself here, in this realm, the King reborn and just as ambitious.

In a jolt, Cyng quickly pushed herself away from Ulv, an anxious expression on her face. Through that astonishment, the silver haired woman composed herself and offered some words, although her posture seemed much more cautious and distant than the usual demeanor; furthermore, of Ulv tried using her empathic heart this time, she'd notice a wall blocking off any attempts, like a fogged illusion of fake emotions were displayed erratically, rather than a clear image of what Cyng was feeling at the moment.

"Well, that was... unexpected. I had initially intended to read into you, and in exchange, show you a world of martial arts surely unfamiliar to you, but your heart was much stronger than I thought, and your mind more stable. I think I already have an idea, but, how much did you see exactly? Or at least, remember? And don't lie--I've seen as much of you as you've seen of me, so I'll know when you do."
