Tall Tongue

"Do me? Oh, you have to promise to triple Tall Tongue's pay before I give you a word, oh yes. Tall Tongue won't tell you thing about the newest assassination job plotted against you unless you promise to triple Tall Tongue's pay first! Oh yes... oh... no."

Tall Tongue looked slightly saddened at himself, and lowered his ears.

Endris looked at Amili with a look of confusion, "Right now? Fine," he turned to the ready assassins in the room and gestured to Vaska, "Don't let him leave but don't kill him." He lead Amili to his quarters, "Now, what is it?" he said, trying to calm himself.

Megil- Tel'Zeke Manor, New Vivec

Megil was glad he had spies. occasionally plots like these arose. they weren't common, but they ahd happened before.

"Well thank you Tall Tongue. don't worry your pay will be quadrupled for this information. So who wants me dead this time? and how much is the Morag Tong fee?"

Tall Tongue

Tall Tongue quickly looked about, seeing the streets were nearly disserted in the area, still, he knew there were hiding places to get information even here.

"We will talk inside your office, no one can hear anything in there. Hee hee, no one knows how to get an ear in that office, no. Yes, your office, Yes."

Megil- Tel'Zeke Manor, New Vivec

"But of course," he said leading the way into the manor, then down a hallway to an office. like the hall of justice the walls and door where protected by a hidden enchantment, prohibiting sound to leave the room.

"So do tell."

Vaska was taken away and after Endris was out of site all of them let go of Vaska, "Thanks guys, now come 'ere Karlena" Vaska Smiled as She came over

well at least sombody still likes me

"So what has this scum Endris done to this quild, I don't like 'im"

"Well he changed it so we don't need writs and our pay is, uhh i think it is quardrupled"

"No writs!! Quadrupled! He is taking the honor oh this place and tearing it up. I'm going to chalenge him for his rank if he keeps this up." Said vaska as he took a drink of skooma.

Tall Tongue

"Telvanni are doing something bad, yes, they are bad. Tall Tongue doesn't trust Telvanni. Tall Tongue trusts only Megil Tel-Zeke, and no one else. Fourty Thousand gems the Fire-lady will pay. Oh yes, but the new guildmaster, he warned you are a hard kill he did. Oh yes, I say you kill the fire-lady. She doesn't sound very nice. Oh but Tall Tongue would very much like a date with her, yes. Oh but anyway... well, yes... till next time... Oh. Otik, he was there. Yes, Tall Tongue is sure of that much. Oh yes, ask him, he knows more. Oh yes, very much more than Tall Tongue, yes, he was there."

With that, Tall Tongue lowered his ears and bowed, then skipped out of the office again. There was only place he could think of going with a pay raise this big... the local skooma dealer.

Amili, Endris' quarters

"Shh!" she ordered, pulling out the same piece of paper they had been writing on earlier.

Let this 'Vaska' live for now, but keep an eye on him, and do not let him in on any of the plans against Megil, instead, 'let' him get false information to give to his friend.

We delay the assassination for awhile, until the worry dies down.

She waited until Endris read the parchment before burning it.

"Farewell, Grandmaster." she said cordially. "Until next time."

She walked out the door and back to her quarters.

"Right," Endris said quietly to himself. He stepped out of his room and said, "Vaska you live--for now, I'm going to get some sleep." With that Endris returned to his quarters and locked the door behind him.


OOC: night all

Tel'Zeke manor, New vivec

Megil began to woder where Darus had gotten off to. he hadn't seen the body guard for nearly a day. this happened occasionally, and it didn't bother him for the most part, but with an assassination attempt being planned it was better two have an additional set of eyes watching.

ooc: darn you shogun and danny you guys are to smart

Vaska started pacing with rage and finnaly threw a knife at Endris's door. He walked into a room and locked the door with his magic amulet, so nobdy could get in, unless they had his unlocking ring which he had on his left finger at all times, and laid on the bed and started tossing dagger and other sharp objects at the opposite wall and finally went to sleep

ooc well night!

Falx Albarnias
New Vivec

The mirror, although old, still had the shine of wonderful ages. When travelling back around the world, Falx managed to find his old home and the mirror amongst it. The home that he shared with his parents during his childhood. Minor nobles they might of been, but caring loving parents they still were. While he doubted they still lived, many a rumour placed them in Summerset Isles.

Falx brushed off his formal wear, it hadn't been used since before Cyrodill had fallen, another relic of the past. The silver lorica(SP) was made of banded strips of silver to make a hard, medium strength armor. The rest of the outfit was a similiar fashion.

One main difference though was they scarf/undershit that officers in the legion wore. Normally they were a brilliant red, to signify the beauty and feroucity(SP) of the human empire. Times have changed though, and with that the new signifying colour of the legion.

Falx, in his spare time, had started fashioning a new scarf, one that signify'd purity and valour above else. The look was amazing, but the message was very pleasing. "A new legion, for a new time.." He managed to mutter before strapping on his customary silver short sword and stepping out of the door.

Hall of Justice

He shuffled nervously as he waited in the sitting room for Lord Megil's office, casual glances by common folk and guards were starting to turn into un-excepting stares and murmors. After all, these same people had fought the legion out of Vvardenfell. Reguardless, Falx took comfort in the fact that New Vivec was neutral territory, and as being neutral no harm could come to him.

Falx turned to the guard, who had previously ignored him and cleared his throat, "Excuse me, but please do tell Lord Megil that Captain Falx Albarnias of the Imperial Legion is here to see him." With emphasis on Imperial Legion.

Raxle O'Conner
West of Gnisis

"Damn, so who'd we loose again?" Raxle asked, sitting on a rather large stone still panting from the sprint.

"Four altogether.. Darius died in the guard house, WhiteBeard tripped over a stone as we were escaping, the new recruit was painted over somehow, and the last was First Seargent Patronia." Alicia replied, she was the favourite soldier of the group. Not only because she was the only female, but she was also the only healer, "Raxle, I don't know if this was such a smart idea.." She placed her hand on Raxle's, "I mean, there so few of us.. What did we accomplish?"

Raxle stood up, brushing her hand off his, "What do you mean? We accomplished.. Uh.. " His mind drew a blank, the idea of whatever their goal was faded, "Well we did it to show that were still here. You know? And please.. don't touch me.." Raxle turned away.

Many months ago, before the out break of aggressions between the inhabitants of Vvardenfell and the Legion, Raxle considered Alicia more then a friend. After all, Alicia was there for him when the compassion it the guar, she was his council in times of despair, she talked to him about his past and how to control the future. He once loved her. But the feeling was one sided, Alicia was just being a friend, and Raxle took it to far.

"But.. so many deaths for really no reason. How can we justify that? We are the protector of these people!" Alicia retorted, her face flaring up a'bit. Partly because of Raxle's actions and then his words. "I just don't understand you! Why are you so distant at times? You're not the person you once were."

"Those time have ended Alicia, don't you see! The whole of Nirn has turned agaisnt us, THEY HATE US!" Raxle shocked himself with his own words, "Look! Listen! They, the people we are to protect would rather see us lying six feet under as a rotting corpse!"

"But.." She sniffled a bit as a tear rolled down her cheek.

"No buts, the only thing that will help us survive this mess is our anger towards these.. Beasts, these Dunmer!" His fists were cramping into the balls he forced them into, "Why am I the only one that see's this!? Damn it all, Damn it all to oblivion!" Raxle cursed some more as he stormed out of the makeshift dine hall.

Alicia sat in the seat and rested her head on the table, crying softly, "Raxle, come back to who you were, back long ago.. please"

Even if he had heard her plea, never would he had listen. The enemy was outside, and he was hell bound and determined to not grow soft.

Megil- Tel'Zeke manor, New Vivec.

Megil sat in his office, when he get the panting messenger.

"Sir a Captain Falx Albarnias of the Imperial Legion wishes to have council with you. he awaits at the hall of justice,"

Megil nodded, gathered some papers then hurried out of the manor and to the hall of justice.
Hall of Justice
he shook Falx's hand and led him to the office. he sat Falx down on one side of the desk, and megil sat down on the other side.

"I do apologize Falx, I had to run home to collect a few things, but anyways Captain you seeked council discussing the terms of Legion members. Now what in specific do you wish me, and the city of New Vivec, to do?" Megil asked politelly

Falx Albarnias
New Vivec, Megil's Office

It seemed odd to Falx that Megil would be so excepting to his former adversary.

He leaned forward abit, "Megil, we've had our differences, you and I know. But considering the sake of the new times, and the fact that my home also resdies in our great city, there are important matter to discuss."

Falx cleared his throat, he was getting old after all, "Maybe you've heard, or maybe not, reguardless, the attack on Gnisis? It is under my suspicion that Imperial Soldiers were the instigators of that attack." The legionarre shuffled through several papers and handed one to Megil, "This here I came across several days back, it is a note from former First Seargent of the Gnisis garrison. You can read it later if you must, but in short summary it is a warning, a warning to all houses, including New Vivec. Now while the legion is weak, and New Vivec is neutral, there are many a problem with this scenario."

Falx stood up and paced around the chair for a second,

"From my gathered sources, I have estimated that there are roughly over one thousand legionarres scattered around the island. Many of those are officers, officers that are growing to complacint (SP) with current society and joining the ranks of the Houses." Falx looked at Megil straight in the eyes, "You do know that many people are already fighting a war for power here in Vivec? I'm sure you do, but think about this, once these officers finally except a new life, they are going to become YOUR enemy. Every single house, even the honourable Redoran wants to control Vivec. It is the ultimate place of power, enough to subdue the other houses even!"

"Now I my be rambaling, and sound incoherent, but give me a chance, under the protection of Neutral New Vivec Authority, to re-establish open communications with the scattered legion and bring them under one banner, as to not let them go stray!"

Falx rubbed his graying chin, "You may think that we (the legion) are not quite the power to contend with the rest, but look at history, me and my brethren have subdued quiet alot in history. More then I'd like to admit sometimes."

The captain started to walked towards the door, "Please, think about my plea, you are a wise mer, know what these capable soldier could do for Vivecs interests! Ha, remeber, the God's favour the bold"

At that Falx stepped out of Megil's office and returned to the Inn.

(sorry for the randomness of this post, but I'm supposed to be asleep right now, or actually about 2 hours ago so.... IU cant think straight!!!O_o)

En'Fel
Urshilaku Camp

Akar, Akar was alive. That was fortunate, extremely fortunate he could show to Serene he could deliver result and not just blow steam. Akar's arrival would increase Serene's trust in En'Fel and stready the connections between Redoran and the Ashlanders.

"I'm sorry this is a private meet--" Sul Matuul began.

"Don't worry, he's a friend of mine. He saw first hand the sort of respect the Ashlanders are getting in the East," said En'Fel. It was only a little unfortunate that Akar decided to interrupt the meeting this way. He needed to swing the Ashlanders who had not yet experienced the war to go into it. That task was difficult enough without a long lost son and mother reuniting between in.

Speaking of which, En'Fel could not help but show interest in a peculiar look he saw from Serene. She knew his face, it was almost uncanny the circumstances at which Akar arrived. He didn't look at anybody, he just sat right down.

"Now, if no one has something to say, I'd like to suggest a course of action and see what Ahemussa and Urshilaku will be willing to contribute--" En'Fel attempted to continue.

"I'd like to say something," said Sul Matuul.

He looked around the room, which fell silent. "I understand your people are being harassed, but I wonder what proof you have this is the forshadowing of a greater catastrophe. If there is no evidence that it will escalate beyond the Telvanni taking land, I think we can avoid the war and simply evacuate Erabeninsum and Zainab some place safe."

En'Fel didn't know how to respond to that. How do you give evidence for a gut feeling? he wondered. He looked to Nibani Maeso and Serene for support.

Akar, Urshilaku Camp

"Submit to people like the Telvanni, and they feel the need to show their dominance over you even more. They think themselves better than you, and they are right if you prove them right by giving them what they want."

Almost like how everyone thinks that they are better than a half-breed. he thought sourly, but kept to himself.

Just then, it seemed, he saw her. Those eyes. They were his own, just on someone else.

The reunion would have to wait until the meeting was over though; lives were at stake here. Besides, he had waited twenty-two years, what was another hour?

Nibani Maesa and Serene, Urshilaki camp, meeting

Nibani Maesa held up her left hand, in a gesture of silence, as always a wise woman had the powers of silencing the most talkative men...

"May I speak Ashkan Sul-Matuul?", she said in a most convincing voice, and as the Urshilaki ashkan nodded she continued:

"I have consulted the Ancestors, with the generous aid of Mistress Serene, who represent the Ahemmussa wise woman Sinnamu Mirpal, and together we have come to a conclusion, to a recommendation"

"We have no powers of deciding what actions should be taken, the Ashkans have the final words in these matters," she continued again, " But only the wise ashkans take advice from the wise women, because they have the ability of seeing beyond the horizon, and their predictions are almost always correct"

Now Serene rose to her feet, slightly shivering, due to the presence of the half-breed sitting beside Sul Matuul, it was obvious that he was Saryn, the son she had to give up so many years ago.

The present situation didn´t allow her to rush to his side embracing him telling him how much she had longed to meet him, that all had to wait......She merely looked at him, taking a deep breath she filled in where Nibani had stopped:

"We have taken counsel from the ancestors of all ashlander tribes, in addition to that we have interpreted the various signs and strange events during the last months and we are in consensus.....there is NO doubt there will be war among tghe Houses.......and thus also our people will be deeply involved, there is no doubt of that whatsoever. ..."

"That man!" she said pointing at En`fel...is telling the truth, his clairvoyance has shown him what most probably will happen, and his idea of uniting the Tribes is approved of by our Ancestors"

"We must stand united now, our greatest enemy will be the great house Telvanni, they are already on our tracks, the Greed of house Hlaalu is the next threat....that leaves only one thing.......We will seek support from House Redoran, which we think is quite possible"

Serene bowed her head to the ashkans and sat down....

"Hope Saryn will approve of me "

Cal - Ald-Ruhn Streets

"Oh, this is a pretty neat town. I kinda like it.", Cal thought to himself while looking around. He followed Kiln, noticing all the strange people in the town.

"I have no idea, you'll have to ask Mara." he said, half ignoring the dunmer as he tried to communicate with Mara. Somehow the link wasn't working.

"Just follow me and we can leave peacefully." Ced said (OOC: ).

(OOC: I've got school for seven hours starting now.)

Arneth
Vvardenfell
Ald'Ruhn

Arneth said to Kiln after they came by Silt Strider into Ald'Ruhn they could meet at the Rat in the Pot by the end of the day. Arneth was interested in Kiln but he needed to make his way to his headquarters, important information had arrived. He moved as the shadows out of Ald'Ruhn, he had noticed that little amount of people that had just arrived. There was something shaping here, but Arneth left it out but he kept his eyes open as he got out of Ald'Ruhn and up to the unkown cave near Khuul.

"Whats the news Malgurion?" Arneth said once he came him with a high voice before he walked up to the planning table with already many of his friends around it. Looked like something was happening.

"Much have happend over little time Master Arneth, the situation in Gnisis took a turn and the attackers on the city retreated and is located west for the city as we speak" Malgurion paused, "There is also a gathering, of some sort in the Urshilaku Camp. Tribes men have gone into one of the hut's and is clearly discussion something, the power of the Ashlander tribes has almost faded away and the Telvanni is pushing them hard from the east. But we dont have any knowledge what they are dicussing" Malgurion said as he sat his dagger into the map at the Urshilaku location.

"Have any of our scouts any idea of who is in the Urshilaku camp? Because this is not enough, there are things happening in New Vivec too" Arneth said, he had already heard from some legionares that heard something about the Morag Tong, a new Grandmaster. And he remembered the situation at Morvayn Manor with his friends Serene and Jonacin...

"Our scouts got a glimt of what he mean was Jonacin not far outside the Urshilaku camp along with Serene..." Malgurion said unsure of the scouts eyes had played tricks on him, or if Serene and Jonacin really was there.

Arneth didn't doubt the scout, thought he wasn't much of a real friend with Serene and Jonacin he remembered she had close relations with the Ashlanders and it was clearly possible for her and Jonacin to be there.

"This is what we do, Malgurion you along with some of our scouts and troops go to Gnisis. Stay hidden and try to gather what information you can about this siege on the village! I want to set up scouts around the Telvanni and Ashlander border in the Grazelands, they will need to able to get information back here fast and un-noticed as soon as anything accures" Arneth said demanding, pointing out positions for the scouts around in the Grazelands.

He left the table right after it was done, he ran fast down deep into the cave through the rough and small caves he found his little champer. He soon found his backpack with his enchanted Ebony armor. He took on the backpack before grabbing some of his pouches attaching them to his belt, they were full of all kinds of potions along with scrolls. He also found a thick gold ring he had gotten in his early warrior ages as he where in the Warriors Trials in Vivec. Powerful enchanted the ring was, he took it on before he ran and out of cave.

"I'll look into the Ashlanders!" he said at the door before he slammed the door and started running against the ashlander camp.

What are you doing in the Urshilaku camp Serene and Jonacin? He thought as he was running as fast as he could.
