Arynel eyed the blade.

The Breton sat cross-legged on the ground.

He closed his eyes...

OOC: I'm gonna be out for a little while, I'll probably come back later tonight, if not then I'll be on tomorrow night smile.gif

Seeing that Celezar and Sheon were gone, Mirea reappeared in the cave.

"What was all that about? Are they gone? I don't like them at all. What's supposed to happen now? Is some voice talking to you too?"

Posted by: w0nders Nov 27 2004, 05:16 AM

Illidan makes his way outside the cave and begins talking to himself.."Hm, my senses tell me that the sword is.....this way" He says to himself heading left out of the cave

"Well you missed the door opening, the Sheogorath worshippers banishing, and swords have been ordered to be found. The speaker is the voice you are talking about. He has spoken to all of us. Some have chosen to listen. Others have chosen to defy him." he pauses, "Will you be staying here long this time? I would like to ask you some questions."

She tilted her head. "You can ASK, but I don't promise to ANSWER. I'm supposed to be keeping an eye on things, so I guess I should stay here."

"Hey wait a moment, Arynel you just can't..." Nalion says astonished... "Well, you can." Nalion smiles.
"I guess I'll have to find the blade myself. 'Sensing is the key', the old man said."

Nalion crosses over to a quiet corner, not far from the entrance of the cave, and sits down on a rock.
He lays his Dagger of Senses flat on his palm and closes his eyes. Nalion concentrated a part of his mind on the dagger and sent the other part flying, over woods, hills and grasslands.

Slowly the dagger on his outstretched palm begins to rise until it is freely floating some inches over it.
The dagger twists and turns, then steadies itself, pointing east...

"Ok then. Who sent you and for what purpose? How do you void jump and how can I learn it?" asked Melampus.

Posted by: Nord_Lover Nov 27 2004, 05:23 AM

Jahal sat on his knee's on his ledge, his head bowed, his eyes shut, and his mouth forming silent words. He was worshipping the Tribunal, the one true religion of the Dunmer race. He was, of course, a member of the Tribunal Temple. He was praying for forgiveness about killing a Bosmer that had just randomly attacked him.

Mirea put a hand over her mouth for a moment, then spoke seriously. "The General sent me. We're a huge cult and we have people everywhere. Don't tell anyone else, okay? You can join us but you have to prove your loyalty first."

"Lovely.." Reichi murmers as he exits.Noticing its night."Now i got to find a damned blad ein the dark.Good thing silver is shiny.."he finishes and begins looking around.

Mirea removed her pack and handed it to him.

"Okay, follow your senses." Reichi says to himself after a search of the area directly outside the cave proves fruitless."The Senses are hearing, sight, feeling, smelling, and tasting.Hearing is useless to find a imobile object.Sight is useful only in limited amounts.Smell however...well...kinda useful.Taste...totally useless..I go with smell."

Reichi then begins to sniff the air.He picks out the discint scent of blood and walks off.

Arynel's eyes pop open.

"Nalion!" The Breton calls, holding up the dagger. "Take this weaopn, It is of no use to me."

With a wave of his arms, the Breton vanishes in a flash of green light.

The dagger lies on the ground, and the words "good luck" echo in the air.

Posted by: Aki Nov 27 2004, 05:42 AM

Reichi, as he follows the Scent of blood notices drops of blood and signs of a struggle.At one point there is a VERY large puddle, a dead nord travveler, and tracks.The tracks were....like a bears, but larger, MUCH larger.Reichi notices a trail of blood headed further off.He began to follow.

Posted by: w0nders Nov 27 2004, 05:43 AM

Illidan continues on his search, he finds 2 fishermen by a stream "Excuse me gentlemen...you wouldn't happen to know where the blade of this sword is?" He asks "Why yes, a fellow not too long ago came searching for that artifact, havent seen him since" The other fisherman speaks up "That was 20 years ago" Illidan becomes slightly annoyed "So do you know or not?" The fisherman scoffs "Ofcourse, it's in an underwater grotto near hear" He answered. Great... Illidan thought to himself walking further down the stream

Nalion drops his dagger, startled by Arynels sudden disappearance.

"I guess that decides it." Nalion stood, picking up both of the Daggers of Senses. He pulled out a restore magicka potion and downed it. An aura engulfed him for a short time as he set a mark at the spot where he was just standing.
"It's east then, he mutters...

Then, a small bosmer female jumped out of the cave...
"And who might you be," he snapped, a bit unpolite. He was beginning to be annoyed of people dis- and reappearing suddenly in his back....

At Ald Daedroth, Sheon looked around.

He saw a scamp over on a hill. He took out his two Sai's.

He ran over to the Scamp and stabbed it in the ribs and rammed the other Sai into its stomach. The Scamp screamed and fell over.

"Hmmm Scamp, havent had scamp in long time ago... scamp good... scamp meat good.. scamp skin make good gloves.. hehehehe"

He then cut it up and ate it raw.

He saw his master meditating in the corner. He decided he would explore the island while he meditated.

He walked around, and killed a few other scamps. He took all the scamp skin and made a tent for himself, and another for his master.

"Hehehehe, i make tent for master. Master like tent, I like tent too, it warm during cold night, tonight is cold, then we need tent which is warm, hehehehehee"

"Sensing...it seems. We have a task to complete, set by the Speaker. I am called Nalion. Nice to meet you, Mirea. Sorry I have been rude... Something just gets on my nerves this day. You know Arynel?" the Breton inquires.


Posted by: Aki Nov 27 2004, 05:57 AM

Reichi comes to a clearing.At the other end of the clearing something large, it turn to face Reichi.In the moonlight he sees that it is VERY large, standing 10 feet tall, and looks like abear.However, it's limbs are slightly longer and more defined.Almost human-like but thick and obviously very strong.

"Oh Frick..."Reichi mumbles and steps back.Knowing full-well what it was.Before he runs he noitices something glinting in the moonlight, embeded in the things stomach.A silver blade."Damnit!Why did the blade have to be stuck in a werebear!"Reichi curses he luck, before ducking, as the bear was not idle and had closed the distance and swung.The tree behind Reichi splinters and cracks in half from the sheer force of the beast's blow.

Of all the were-creature, the were-bear is the strongest in pyshical strength.However, it is significatly slower than a Werewolf.Reichi darts away from the beast.He throws his shortblade at the beast.The blade hits it in the thigh, the beast shrugs off the wound and advances on Reichi.

"I know HIM," she said. "Well, I guess if you two were doing something I should go with you. What are we doing now?"

She nodded in the direction of Melampus, including him in the group.

Posted by: w0nders Nov 27 2004, 06:03 AM

Illidan comes to a lake, this is a better place than any he thinks to himself diving into the water, his head darts from left to right searching for an entrance. He comes back up for air...I think I saw something

He dives back down and quickly swims to the bottom, he notices a very worn cavern door..He swims closer and closer, his cheeks start to hurt from holding his breath for too long...He swims closer and closer and finally swings the door open, a gush of water from inside sends him hurtling backwards. He edges closer again his lungs feel like they're about to burst. He makes it inside the door and just makes up onto some land. "That......was.......close" He said to himself gasping for air

Melampus sees her nod and picks up her equipment again. Hm, he thought. I wonder if she can tell I like her.

Later Sheon saw some Glass Daggers. He broke off the hilt and took the blade.

He shoved the Glass into his upper arms, protruding outward.

Sheon gleamed with excitement.

"I loves the shiny glass, glass is shiny, glassh stick from arm, hehehehee"

Sheon then felt weird...

"Sheon dont feel so good..."

He fell into blackness

He later awoke and the glass was glowing and it had a slight tinge to it.

Sheon stroked the glass.

"Shiny, heehehe"

Sheon then felt a slight odd feeling. A scamp just jumped out and when he stabbed it with his Sai, he swore he saw a fireball explode from his sai, and he jumped as he saw the flicker of fire

"oooh, fire come from my hands"

Sheon then preceeded to touch various creature and blowing them up in fire.

"Burn burn, heheeh little creatures burn burn, hehehehehehehehehehe"

"I would appreciate your company, Mirea, Melampus." Nalion nods in approval.
"I was just trying to sense anything as Arynel disappeared. I managed to focus one dagger, and he pointed to the east. I was about to follow this direction." Nalion tells them briefly. "I am looking for a blade, the blade of a thieves dagger, to be exact, that matches this hilt."
He showed them the hilt.

"I see you lack a knife. Take this dagger, it's Arynels'. Sensing is the key to this riddle." Nalion hands Mirea the dagger, hilt first.

"Lets go", Nalion starts to walk east.

"Take that, and that! Have a boot too! Want another? Have it!"Reichi yells at the werebear, pelting it with assorted pieces of the Dark Brotherhood armor he was wearing.He didn't want it to get ruined, and he found it funny to pelt the bear with it.The Werebear ,who was having some trouble with the desnser part of the forest Reichi had moved into, became enraged and began smashing trees to get to Reichi.

"Thats my que."Reichi mumbled and slid his Ring off.Placing it on his collar which was the only piece of clothing he had left at this point.Reichi began to transform, within secounds of the ring's removal Reichi's white fur had spread over the majority of of his body and he began to move away further from the werebear.After 20 Reichi had finnished, and the bear was nearly on him.

He broke into a four legged run and began circling the werebear...

Posted by: w0nders Nov 27 2004, 06:16 AM

Illidan slowly climbed to his feet and walked further up the grotto still gasping for air...He came across several rats which he easily clubbed away with his staff..He turned many corners until he came to the final chamber where he saw a gigantic tree it was rather healthy and the canopy was covered with beautiful gold petals. "wow" He said to himself walking closer, he noticed a skeletal corpse at the base of a rather large hole, ithad a not near it...the same note he took from Dante. Looks like he didnt finish the job He thought to himself picking up a shovel and continueing the hole that the corpse had started

Jahal brought his head up from praying and took out a small silver dagger that had ancient Dunmer runes on it, and proceeded to carve a small 'X' into his palm. He then let the blood drip into an open flask. Once it was about half full, he filled the flask up the rest of the way with Flin. Then he shook it, mixing the concoction. He took out the cork and drank the concoction. He did not grimace or show any kind of emotion. Then, he put the flask away and put the runes of the dagger on his palm. His palm healed, leaving a scar. What he had just did was a tribute to the Holy Tribunal.

Posted by: Aki Nov 27 2004, 06:22 AM

Reichi leapt at the Werebear, only to be met with the swift backhand the sent him flying into a tree.The werewolf coughed up some blood and ran off again to try again.He circled around behind the bear again, and ran at the werebear.When it swung at him he stopped abruptly and sunk his fangs and claws into the bear's arm.The bear roared in pain and tried to shake Reichi off.

Reichi leapt from the bear's arm to its chest and sank his fangs into it's throat.Unfortunatly the bear's throat was thinker than most and this bought it enough time to launch a attack of it's own before Reichi made the wound fatal.As the bear fell over dead it slashed Reichi across the back with its claws.Reichi yelped and rolled off the werebear.Bleeding profusely from his back.He reached for the silver blade and attempted to pull it free.

Of course there were two things wrong with that plan.One the blade was that, a blade, anyone grabbing it and trying to yank the still sharp blade out would cut themselves badly.Two it was silver, which injured were-creatures badly.Reichi cut himself and the blade and howled in pain.Now bleeding from his back wound and cut palm.The sound of the agonized howl carried for miles....

[I]Damn, Damn , damn!

The continuation of Maranda's tale...

When we last left lovely Maranda, she had just met a Drumner worshiper of Narmia, Daidez (not real name) who informed her that he knew one of the people who was at last Hogithum, where Azura was bound to Nirn. He would possibly know the protonymic, or first forbiden name of Azura. After a short trip, they reach a mannor on the outskirts of Narsis...

'This is the Place...' Daidez replied, 'Lord Atras Dres lives here, he was present at the banishment of Azura...' he knocked on the door, and a servent appeared...
'How might I help you?'
'Is Lord Dres in today, his old friend Daidez wishes to speak with him' Daidez replied
'One minute...' the Argonian servent said...
Fifteen minutes later, the lord arrived, looking somewhat flustered
'What do you want, Daidez... I thought I had already paid you for last time...' Dres replied
'No, this is about another thing completely. You were at last Hogithum, correct?' Daidez asked
'Why, yes I was... it was amazing what happened there, I shall never forget it...'
'Then,' Maranda asked, 'You heard the forbiden names of Azura?'
'No, I missed them... I was too shocked by the events to remember such events... but there were many other people who were in the area... some quite famous... and they should have a better recolition...'
'Could you write a list of the people there?' Maranda asked
'Sure, little girl... a Friend of Daidez is a friend of mine any day'
Dres went away, comming back to the door an hour later carring a list... looking over this list she saw some names which she recongnized from her trip across Skyrim... She would have to hunt them down and see if they remembered the name...

but what ever happened to he-who-hunts-elves?

After finding nothing in the Dwemer ruins but a few pipes, our Argonian friend made his way back to Vivec, where he caught a boat to Sadrith Mora... selling the pipes to local merchants, he made his way to the Televanni Tower to try and find artifacts within it to steal... his adventures will be covered later...

"Well, I suppose so," Nalion smiled, striding confidently east. "When Azure and I looked for the entrance gem, I worked."

Nalion crossed the clearing in front of the cave, then entered the woods to the east.

After a while, sounds of wood chopping can be heard... from about a mile ahead. The smell of a fire lay in the air and smoke can be seen through the treetops.

"Wait, what's this?" Nalion made a halting motion.

Jahal heard the pained howl. He got up and drew his Tanto. He levitated out the door of the cavern and ran through the woods, his feet making no sound. The only light he had was eminating from his Tanto. He silently brushed past the tree's and bushes. He ran towards the howl. When he got there, he noticed Reichi bleeding profoundly from two wounds. He then saw the dead werebear, a silver blade sticking through its belly, and its jugular, ripped out.

Reichi looked at Jahal and attempted to flee.Knowing that if he might very well try to kill him, but stumbled and fell dizzy from bloodloss.The only thing that would tip anyone off to this white werewolf being Reichi would be the leather collar with his ring.

Jahal noticed the collar. He remembered that Reichi had a collar just like that, and had been wearing a ring exactly the same as the one on the collar. Jahal quickly sheathed his Tanto, and went over to Reichi. He healed the wounds as best as he could. He then bent down and picked him up, his back muscles, his biceps, triceps and quads rippled as he strained to pick up the wolf. Finally he picked it up. He then carried it back to the cave.

Illidan Digs deeper and deeper the top of the blade is visible YES! he thinks to himself as he digs deeper and deeper the blade become more visible but the ground gets hotter. at last only a tiny bit of the blade isnt visible he tries to yank it out, "damn gonna have to dig the whole thing out" He continues digging, a rather large amount of sweat is visible on his fore-head. "almost there" He stabs the shovel into the ground and lava starts to run from it "Oh merciful gods no!" He screams scurrying out of the hole.

The lava is rising alot faster than what it should....He reaches in to try and pull the blade out "AIEE!" He yells clutching his hand...the blade is too hot, hang on! it's a long shot, but it's my only chance He thinks to himself pushing the hilt down on the end of the blade...A magical aura appears and Illidan is able to pull the blade out.."Yes!" He yells sprinting back to the cavern door..at that moment the blade falls back off it's hilt and onto the ground.

Illidand wraps a bit of cloth around his hand and picks it up making his way to the door ow ow ow ow

Reichi woofed, though it doesn't seem to be more than a demonstration of a inability to speak acctual words.

Posted by: Nord_Lover Nov 27 2004, 06:39 AM

He finally thinks of something. He takes the ring off of the collar and places it on the claw of Reichi. "Speak."

Illidan swims outside of the grotto and speedily swims to the top of the lake, the water easing the seering pain in his hand...eventually he makes it to the top gasping "woo, what an adventure!" He yells slowly climbing out of the water, the blades heat having gone down substantialy...He walks back down the stream with the blade in hand.

As Mirea goes scouting, she'll see a small woodcutters camp ahead. Everything is normal, six men are going about their work, two are chopping wood, two others are trying to thatch a small hut with branches and leaves.
The rest is busy preparing a meal over a cookfire, knives in hand.
They are looking rather scruffy and wear worn clothes, but each one has a blade on his side.
A bow and quiver and a couple of lances lean at a tree.

There was a flash of green light, and Arynel appeared in Daggerfall.

Arynel silently traversed the streets of Daggerfall. Then Breton spied a large house with five doors.

Upon closer inspection he noticed a sign with a cresent moon cradling a star, wreathed by sun beams.

Arynel looks around, and then knocks on the door.

The door was opened by a young girl with the stature of a Breton, but unusual facial features; slanted eyes ringed with kohl in a white mask of powder. She let out a little gasp of surprise and shut the door in Arynel's face.

Inside the pounding of boots on stairs could be heard.

A moment later, the door was opened by an old woman, dressed neatly, but obviously a servant. She beckoned Arynel in to a warm, firelit room. The young girl was there, and with him was Dragon.

"You slipped your leash, I see," Dragon said, smiling. "Good for you. It's not often we get to tease Mirea for failing at a task."

Nalion continues the walk towards the camp, trusting that Mirea had dealt with any immediate threat.

As he stepped into the open clearing at the woodcutters camp, the men looked up, surprised.

"What the...!" the nearest man said. "They found us, damn, we should have gone depper into hiding, maybe in that cave nearby. Kill them."
Drawing his sword, he and four others attacked Mirea, Melampus and Nalion. The sixth one dashed into the hut, seeking cover.

"This is Doll," he said, nodding his head towards the young girl, who smiled a very tiny smile. "Mirror will be down shortly. He's ... combing his hair. We didn't expect to see you. Allerleirauh's not back yet; what's on your mind?"

Allerleirauh came down the stairs slowly. She was wearing a simple blue dress, and she had a greenish-brown travelling cloak bundled under her arm. She did not look up as she entered the room, and so she saw Arynel only when she was at the foot of the stairs.

From her perch in the tree, Mirea fired more arrows, aiming at the backs of the knees of the men fighting her companions.

This time, Mirea's arrows hit their targets as she intended to. Two men go down, crying with arrows in their backs and knees.

Nalions shock bolts miss. "Argh!" he shouts.

Seeing that all enemies have been done for, Nalion asks "Anybody wounded?" he didn't look at Mirea, though, knowing that she would be fine.

"What is it?"  The Breton asked.

Allerleirauh smiled; the lines of weariness in her face eased. "Welcome to Solunastra," she said. "I'm glad you came here. This house is only a shadow of the true Solunastra, but the true Solunastra is stirring, we'll wake it yet."

She unfurled the cloak. It was two-sided, the outside a plain brownish green of cloth similar to the cloak Arynel habitually wore. The inside was black as jet - blacker than jet - black as ebony. It seemed to devour light. "It doesn't look like much, here," she said. "Step outside with me and look at it."

She led him upstairs; halfway up, in one of the hallways, was a break, through which endless, unnatural darkness could be seen.

"This is why we own this house," she said. "What's a trouble for ordinary renters is a boon for us."

She stepped out, into the Void, and turned to Arynel.

From within the Void, the black cloak looked quite different. It wasn't black, but an elaborate embroidery, a map of the entire universe. Constellations, the wheel, Nirn itself, the planets and the spheres of Oblivion. It was all there, in dizzying splendor, shimmering threads of all colors, shedding light around it. It was also warm, even here where the true cold devoured all light and heat.

"Cloak of the Firmament," Allerleirauh said. "My masterwork. Please take it; it will keep you from getting lost, in the places where there are no maps. What you mentioned, earlier... I don't know if you were serious about looking for it. But if anyone can find it, you can. Keep this in case you decide to look."

Nalion returned to the cave and entered. Before he made out the speaker, he recognized Reichi lying on the floor, heavily wounded. He rushed to him and kneeled. Pulling a potion out of his pouch, he infused the draught. Addicitonally casting a healing spell, Reichi was covered in a blue ligh for a second.
"That should help, Reichi!" he said

Nalion continued to approach the speaker.

"We have followed the senses, first by mind, then by sound, then smell, sight and combat sense. I bring you the hilt and the blade of the thieves. I wouldn't have accomplished this without my friends though. Thank you all..."

What am I but what I was, and alone and pure and full?

Alone 'tis right, and empty, am I not the king of fools?

The prince at least, no.

I am fine, I am right, this way is beauty, is it not?

Beauty reveals itself in many things, yet beauty is unveiled in all things at once.

Combinations and revelations.

I walk the road alone.

That road dead ends.

No, it goes on forever.

Eternity as nothingness is the pinnacle of all dead ends.

I am nothing, I am only I, and not even that.

I deny what is given, a silver platter.

This course I cannot eat.

After gaining the list of persons that attended the Binding of Azura, (Hogithum) Maranda and Daidez sit in the tavern, looking over the names...

'So, who was it that could help us in our quest?' Daidez asked
'These two, Allie, who accompanied Loranna through Skyrim was there, as was the Psijic 'B' who also turned up arround that time...'
'So, you will hunt them down?' Daidez asked
'Goodness no! They mainly make thier residences on the Western Side of Tarmel... it would be a waste of effort to head there... I would sugest that if we wait near Loranna, they will turn up eventually,' Maranda replied
'Anyone else?'
'It seems like Lord Fyr was at the trial, as well as a number of other notable people, I know only by name and reputation... Also, it seems the Mad God himself might know a thing or two, as might the God of Worms... they were all present during the Trial. These would all be good sorces to track down...'
'Miss Maranda, I presume?' A young Imperial asked approching her...
'Indeed, I am, what might you want?' Maranda replied
'A message for you, from your servent' the Imperial Replied
'Thankyou, here is some gold for your trouble...' she paid the man 100 gold pieces, before opening the letter...

Downstairs, the other inhabitants of the house were whispering to each other.

"I'll kill him," Dragon said. "If he makes her unhappy. I will kill him."

"No, no you won't," said Mirror, glancing at the top of the stairs apprehensively.

"Mirror - you can't calm me down, because I'm not angry. Do you know, every day I ask myself why I don't wring your neck?" Dragon spoke with a calm so profound it was disturbing.

"I'm just talking. Can't a man talk?"

"They're back," Doll said, tilting her head.

Oh, Arynel.

She could not help. She remembered that once, as a child, she had tried to help free a molting insect from its silvery shell. It had died beneath her rough touch. Surely this was the same.

This is old pain. This pain was there before you touched him. Either he is strong enough to take your love and go on or he is strong enough to reject it and go on. Or he will suffer and perish in the cold.

"Killling me..." Arynel said turning to Dragon, the Breton's voice poured forth like a mountain crumbling into dust. 

Strike me with a blade
And your own hand shall be removed
Strike me with a spell
And your own mind you shall loose


Arynel brought his hand to his mouth.

"I'm so sorry."  The Breton said.  "I don't know what came over me."

He paused, and then smiled.

"Let us eat."

"To good company!" Allerleirauh said, raising her goblet. The others raised theirs and drank.

The food was plain fare; there had not been time to prepare anything delicate or fine. But it was wholesome and plenty of it. And the cook - an Orc - appeared briefly to promise them something special for dessert.

"This business in the cave of the dog," Allerleirauh said. "What happened there? Follow your senses, it said. Well... I followed mine, for what it's worth."

Arynel opens his mouth, but closes it again.

"There are some secrets I am not ready to share." The Breton says. "I am perhaps a step further than I was before, but I am not there yet."

"If you take five hundred years, you'll be half my age," she said, smiling. The others laughed.

"A lot of us have secrets," Mirror said. He had been unusually quiet throughout the meal. "Some of us, like Dragon here, don't remember, and some, like Doll, don't care to share. Me? Nothing to see here. Just an athletic young fellow who wasn't happy with the limits of his body."

Posted by: TrumGryphon510 Nov 27 2004, 09:33 AM

Melampus didn't know what fort he was at but he entered anyways. Once inside, he went up to the trader. "Is there a way I can get someone to deliver this letter to Daggerfall?"
The trader replied, "Yes, right over there. That Imperial with brown hair can deliver it."
"Thank you." said Melampus. He walked toward the Imperial. "So I hear you deliver a letter for me."
"Why yes I can." he replied.
"Well then, take this letter to Daggerfall. I'm not sure were exactly but I need it delivered to a manor that a man named Arynel goes to frequently. I will pay you 1000 gold for the journey and an extra 500 if you can find this place for me. Are you willing to do so?"
"Well for all that money, of course I will." Melampus hands over the gold and letter.
"Wait." said the delivery man, "what about a return address?"
"Oh yes, goodness me. Deliver it to this address in Raven Rock."
"Ok sera. I will be on my way."
"As will I." said Melampus as he casts a recall spell.

Arynel stands silently, eyeing each person in turn.

"Have you ever been in a situation," the Breton begins. "Where you have so much you could say, so much you want to say, so much you're afraid to say, that you find yourself speechless?"

He takes a breath.

"That is where I am now."

Melampus returned to the cave. Everyone was still sitting or asleep. Melampus took off his helmet and walked toward a dark part of the cave. He waved his hands and a bedroll appeared on the floor. He laid down. He thought that it would be nice to sleep in his bed back in Raven Rock. Or it would be even nicer to sleep in his bed in Raven Rock with Mirea. Oh well he thought, it'll never happen.

There was a long pause, as if they expected him to say something.

"I don't think Mirror's ever had that problem," Dragon said, expertly bouncing a puff pastry off Mirror's forehead without looking in the direction he was throwing.

"I'm not a poet," Mirror said, laughing. "I talk before I think. Poets think to much."

"Maybe," said Doll very quietly, "If it was something important... it could take a long time to say."

"That's our sweet girl," said Mirror, taking a bite of the pastry.

"Don't worry so much, son," Dragon said. "Eat dessert. Drink more, that always helped me in public speaking."

Allerleirauh simply smiled.

Girai Harkaanius gazed at the Nord's artifact in his hand, colors reflecting in bright patterns off of its glass surface, its triangular shape dividing the pure light that shone all around.

"Know All first, do not divert. Find perfection then clutch it to your breast in love. Know One and you know All. Do not leave that which emerged your being." The gray Nord said quietly to him, his face nearly touching Girai's Cyrodiilic features.

Girai nodded then closed his eyes. When he opened them he found himself in a cave.

The others applauded Arynel's singing; the table was cleared and they moved to the Great room. There was an organ; Allerleirauh took a seat at it. "I don't play as well as Skein, but I play a little. If someone else will sing."

In the back of her mind, she was starting to wonder where Mirea was...

Girai seems to regain composure. "Do you know anything about the woman called Loranna? You were with them were you not, where is she?" The Cyrodiil's eyes show a tinge of malice hidden under layers of concern.

Solin stared at the Cyrodiil through narrowed eyes for a brief moment, a slight frown on his face. His face then lit up with a smile, moment passed.

The further tales of Maranda...

When we last left Maranda (in Narsis), she and Daidez were looking over the names of the people at last Hogithum to find whom they could ask about Azura's forbidden names, singiling out Allie and 'B' as people to ask... however, she was interupted by an Imperial with a message from her Argonian Servent, 'He-who-hunts-elves'

Maranda read the messsage...

Master, I have found an item of great worth in the Televanni Tower in Sadarith Mora, an Ebony Staff of War... I am currently waiting at Castle Ebonheart with the item, awaiting your next orders

'So, that Argonian is worth somthing...' she said to herself, before turning to Daidez, 'There is no need now to steal the Curiass, however, if you still wish to make yourself useful, I have a job for you... I will pay, of course'
'No need to pay... this is all for my master, afterall...' Daidez replied
'Find out where Loranna is being held. Do not attempt to break her out, just tell us where she is imprisoned. Send me a message via Mages Guild when you do find her location. I should be in Ebonheart... but if not, I will be staying in this tavern here in Narsis...' Maranda said, 'I must contact my lord about the discoveries we have made...'
'Very well, I shall make haste to Mornhold... I am sure we will find somthing there' Finished Daidez, before slipping away within the crowd.
Before Maranda contacted Meridia, she decided to make sure that she had secured the Curiass... she set off to the local mages guild for transport to Vivec...

to be continued...
