He looks at it for a moment, his expression twisted with something between disgust and grief. Then, with a shaky exhale, he drops the head to the ground and falls to his knees. “I surrender,” he says, his voice barely audible over the murmurs spreading through the crowd. “We… we surrender.” The Nardoos, who had been fighting with a savage intensity moments ago, lower their weapons one by one. Some look confused, others angry, but none of them dare to defy Hermes. I glance around, my eyes scanning the faces of my pack members. Relief washes through them all though I can also see their exhaustion and pain. The battle is over.

Only the sound of my uneven breathing filled it. I closed my eyes, whispering to myself, “I didn’t give up on us.” My chest tightened with the truth of it.

“Getting warmer. But the bidding must go higher. I want everything. What is your final offer?” I took a deep, shuddering breath. This was it. The ultimate act of surrender. “I offer my will,” I said, my voice trembling with emotion. “I offer my mind, my body, my soul. I offer to be your toy, your slave, your thing. I offer to give up everything I am, to become nothing but what you want me to be. I offer to be your masterpiece, to be used and displayed and marked as you see fit. I offer my complete and utter surrender. Not just for tonight. But forever. That is my final bid.”

Excitement bubbled inside me, as I made my way straight inside. The room felt different. Heavier. Like new equipment had been added. Severiano had his back to me. He straightened and wiped whatever he was doing. I didn't care. The heat in my body had taken over my senses. I walked up to him, letting my rope fall, and I hugged him from behind. He paused, held both my hands, and unwrapped it from his body. Turning to me, he said, “I request. You surrender." It was a simple rule but very difficult to obey. Not when my body had taken over the job of my brain.

I tapped and cursed, but the pain on my waist was unbearable. "Say you surrender." She urged. "Never!" She bent my legs backward, farther than they could go, till I heard something snap. The pain was too excruciating to bear, that I did what I feared to do. "I surrender! I surrender!" I screamed, slapping the murky water rapidly. "Give it up for Team One." The commentator announced, and the crowd cheered along.

He was outnumbered, outgunned, but he refused to go down without a fight. But even as the adrenaline coursed through his veins, Zakariah knew that a direct confrontation would only end in disaster. He needed to buy time, to hold out until his men could come to his aid. With a grim determination, he made a split-second decision, tossing his gun aside in a gesture of surrender. "I surrender!" he called out, his voice ringing out clear and unwavering despite the gravity of the situation. I need to buy some time until my men can locate me, he thought.

My chest tightened as tears spiltd freely. “That’s how I feel right now,” I sobbed. “So please… take me. Take me with her. Go ahead. Do it.” My voice collapsed into a broken cry, but he didn’t make a move. Slowly, almost reluctantly, I watched his hand fall. The gun lowered, like he was surrendering to something heavier than this fight.

"Is this a surrender?" I shook my head, my eyes scanning the room, making sure I looked every one of them in the eye. "It's not a surrender. It's a statement. The war with Donald is over. The fighting, the bloodshed, the constant worry—it ends now. I am taking the first step back, signaling that I have no interest in the power and territories that fuel this conflict. This is my public offer of a truce. My sacrifice for peace."

Lifting the walkie-talkie, I spoke to the remaining Dawn Stalkers with the town hall. “Alright, boys, I’m prepared to hold up my end of our deal if you are,” I told them. “What’s it going to be?” “We surrender.”
