Skyrim/Aveloth - [ Private - SlayerofLight & ScarsLove ]

[ScarsLove]

"What is it with you people and refusing to answer a straight forward question", Griped Tali, listening to Xaron's excuse for kidnapping her from Skyrim. His explanation, to say the least, was funny and had lightened the mood, "I'm afraid Skyrim holds it's chickens very high. I don't understand their odd traditions, I just live there. I'd be lying if I said this place didn't add some excitement to my life. But I can't say I wasn't content living in solitude out in the wilderness. It was a lonely existence, yet an existence still."

''He should be fine, hopefully. I would advise him to take it easy for a while, because the effects of black magic take a while before they fully fade away, and it could be still potentially dangerous even after the wound is healed.''

Tali half-smirked, "That is good news, thank you Avistra. We-"

Ringing her voice out loud and clear was Xandra who had morphed from she wolf to human, "Xaron, you stole me away from my home! I was on a great mission to lead what little wolves remained back to sanctuary, the last slice of paradise in a dying world and you ruined it!"

[SlayerOfLight]

''Please, not you too Xandra.'' sighed Xaron. ''I actually saved you, because your world was dying. There was no paradise at all, and all you would've done was lead the little remaining wolves to their doom. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to live with that, had you actually survived yourself.''

Eon now started to wake up, but he was still feeling very bad. He opened his eyes and saw the blurry images of those who were around him, yet he recognized some voices. He immediately remembered about what happened before he passed out, and was eager to find and kill Vuldred once more.

''Please, not you too Xandra. I actually saved you, because your world was dying. There was no paradise at all, and all you would've done was lead the little remaining wolves to their doom. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to live with that, had you actually survived yourself.''

Xandra grimaced, she was growing so sick of hearing what others thought was best for her. The shaman in her village told her that retracing his steps to paradise was foolish and now Xaron, much like their alpha, was telling her that he saved her. What did he save her from? A chance at saving the whole of wolf kind? A chance at redeeming her fallen race and raising them back to the glory they once were.

"I don't care what kind of saving you did for me Xaron. I'm not listening to you and one way or another, I will find my way back to my family and save them. With or without your consent." Xandra growled, shifting back into her wolf form just as Eon was waking up in time to see her morph.

[SlayerOfLight]

Xaron started to slightly lose his patience with the wolf, so he decided to take another approach into gaining her back under his control.

''Xandra dear, I'm afraid without my help you'll won't be going anywhere. But very well then, if you truly desise so much to return to that hopeless world of yours, so be it. But NOT before you have played your part in this world. And I kindly suggest you to be a little bit more cooperative, hence you want me to spoil your little ''dark'' secret. Oh yes I know all about it, for nothing remains hidden to a loremast-''

''Where the hell am I, and what just happened?!'' Eon interrupted Xaron, while taking a glimpse of Xandra's morphing.

''Please don't stress yourself, mortal. You need rest.'' said Avistra as she kindly pushed Eon back

''You get your hands off me, Elf.'' said Eon as he slapped her hand away.

Tali was watching in shock at what she just happened to witnessed. The black wolf was Xandra and apparently she had also been brought to Aveloth for reason uncertain. Sure, the Aenar said it was for her personal salvation but she was sure he had a self-serving attitude and only meant to use them as pawns in a game where he was the master.

She went to respond when suddenly Eon woke up, shouting profanities and wondering where he was and what happened. Tali went over to him to help Avistra settle him down, "Calm yourself. This elf just helped rid you of that terrible necrosis. We're in some elven city and right now I was just speaking to Xaron, who so kindly was explaining why he brought us here."

[SlayerOfLight]

''Elven city, what?! Could someone be kind enough to tell me why we are seeking help from my enemies?'' Eon said enfuriated.

''Be reasonable, Eon of Osendalf!'' Xaron spoke. ''You have no enemies here.''

Avistra sighed and muttered something about how stubborn mortals could be at times.

Xaron turned to Xandra and spoke to her. ''Xandra, we need to have a little chat outside in private.'' he said. ''I will be back in a few minutes, and then I will reveal some of my own secrets.'' he said as he walked outside the tree building, waiting for Xandra to trot along.

[ScarsLove]

''Elven city, what?! Could someone be kind enough to tell me why we are seeking help from my enemies?''

Tali sighed, "Believe me when I say I didn't want to come willingly. But a few arrows trained at your face when you have no fight left to fight. I had no other choice. Besides, they've done well to heal your wounds." She reassured him as Avistra walked away muttering to herself in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Xandra felt a lump of fear gathering in her throat. There was no possible way that he could know about that? It was done and over with. Forgotten along will last nights causalities. But as she went outside, she couldn't have felt any lower. What had she gotten herself into?

[SlayerOfLight]

''Know what, I no longer give a damn about that. The only thing I care for now is finding Vuldred and killing that bastard.'' said Eon as he got up and unsheathed his sword.

Meanwhile, Xaron was walking around to find the perfect place for him to talk with Xandra.

''Hm... This here should be fine.'' he said.

Xaron stopped walking, waiting for her to morph back into a human form so they could talk.

[ScarsLove]

Her tail between her legs, Xandra felt as if she were facing off against some metaphorical axeman, waiting for his final blow to render her dead on the spot. The lump in her throat only grew bigger and her stomach, which more or less felt like a rock, was stewing with dread. Slowly, she morphed back into her human form.

"Get it over with already." She spat.

--

''Know what, I no longer give a damn about that. The only thing I care for now is finding Vuldred and killing that bastard.'

Tali rolled her eyes, "Great battle plan there. Shall we just run in hacking and slashing with our swords? Shall I alert them to our presence with a mighty howl before we're gracefully massacred at his door step? Think Eon. If you run around like that, you're men will have died in vain and you will fail them."

[SlayerOfLight]

''Well, I'm not intending on waiting for that bastard to find us. When that idiotic loremaster gets back here, I'll extract some answers from him no matter what it takes. Because it's about time that he tells us the truth at last.'' said Eon.

--

''You know, you have been a very, VERY bad doggy. Unfortunately I cannot overlook this rebelious attidude.'' said Xaron with a kind, yet somewhat sinister smile.

Xaron tapped the back of his staff on the ground, and all of a sudden Xandra became all entangled by vines from nearby trees, rendering her completely powerless.

''I'm sorry I had to do this, but you left me no choice. Now, hear me out what I have to say.''
