King's Gratitude

"I need your permission to do it."

After a brief silence and pondering over it,  Ajax turned around and uttered, "Please do it."

"Uhh... Actually, I need your help, so you will have to turn around and watch me."

Ajax reluctantly turned around and questioned, "What?"

"Hold his magic circle and slowly move it from her navel to her neck, so I can suck the poison from her mouth."

Zeus handed the magic circle to Ajax, and he did as Zeus instructed him to. 

When the magic circle reached Helene's neck, Zeus pressed his lips against Helene's lips and started sucking the poison.

Ajax couldn't bear to see that and closed his eyes. After about a minute, Ajax opened his eyes when he heard a barfing sound.

Ajax saw Zeus throwing up poison from his mouth and wiping his lips with his hand.

"Is it done? Is Helene safe now?" Ajax asked with a tensed look on his face.

"Yes, she should be waking up anytime soon."
