Miles, New Vivec, The Manor

Miles hadn't put on the cloak. He didn't much like the idea of wearing one anyway.

He fitted on his belt and attached his sheath to it.

Then he left the manor to sit outside, leaning against a wall.

If I've landed myself in the middle of a war, I'll have to take a side.

He sighed and shifted positions so that his legs were stretched out and his hands behind his head as he rested.

Miles slept.

Yurna, Near Zergonipal



To say Yurna was scared would be a lie, she was terrified. She had just killed one of her own tribesmen, and was on her way to commit treason to an enemy she had heard so many horror stories about from the askkans. Yurna was also dressed in a beautiful linen robe, and was young, a prime targent for bandits. Not only that, she would have to travle accross a country filled with Ashlander scouts, or Telvanni patrols. If a telvanni patrol saw her, they'd kill her before she could tell them anything. She would have to make the journey all the way our of Ashlander territory, which bordered all the way to Telvanni.

Just as she got out of the shelter of the shrine, a sandstorm hit, and she ducked inside of a cave. She didn't dare go farther then the entrance of the cave, and huddled up behind a rock with her bow ready to shoot anyone near her. The storm lasted for an hour and she slowly crept our of her hiding place.

She was greeted by a lunged from a nix hound. She rolled down a hill, and only saw a few glanced of the hound bounding down the hill after her. It swiped at her, and she got a cut along her arm. She unsheathed a dagger and went in to kill it. It's large legs gave it a massive jump, and it bounded over her, and kicked her with its hind legs. She was pushed onto the ground, and it moved in to finish her. She held the dagger up, and the hound bounded onto it. She wasn't sure what happened, because the hound fell on her, and she lost sense of what was going on. Seconds later she was pushing the beast off and looking for the places the hound had hurt. She was cut up and bruised but nothing big, though she was shaken quite a bit.

Yurna sat down on a rock and took a drink out of her canteen. It had only been two hours since she left, and she felt like she had traveled for days. She stood up and started towards the grazelands. She walked for hours and shot down two cliff racers, however one encounter almost cost her, her life. She dusted off her dress, and looked to the east. There was the grazelands. It would be some time before she reached them however.

Sedrane Mirpal, Zergonipal

After the ordeal including the death of his friend, Sedrane was very sad and mourned him as the Ancestors told him to do.

But then he got the message from Sul-Matuul that there was to be a meeting among all the Ashkans, because the time had come to really gather forces.....times were rough and there was a constant threat from outside....

The Ahemmusa warriors were a bit demoralised at the moment but also very eager to fight any enemy

Sedrane stood in his chambers, preparing for the important meeting.....by making the necessary sacrifeces to his ancestors....and dressing properly for the event



OOC: Ok Darum.....go for him!

Darum, Zergonipal



Darum was awoken by a messenger boy. The boy came over and tapped him on the shoulder and was greeted with a grab to the throat. "What is it!"

"S..sir its a meeting sir..."

"Where's my wife?" he shrieked. Darum ran out of the tent and into the meeting tent. There he saw sedrene, and yelled. "You stole my wife you..." he cursed. He lunged at sedrene with his fists.

Sedrane Mirpal, Zergonipal, meeting area

Sedrane was sitting calmly, alone in the meeting-tent, waiting for the other Ashkans to show up, when Darum, the Erabenimsun-Ashkan came rushing in like a ravishing maniac, shouting and yelling about the whereabouts of his wife....

Before Sedrane had a chance to answer, the man was over him with waving fists, fortunately Darum was terribly drunk and thus the accuracy of his attack was not particularly good, so Sedrane had no problem parry his attack.....

He jumped to his feet , and at the side, Darum nearly lost balance, but remarkably quickly gained it back and attacked again..

The next blow from Darum hit Sedrane at his eyebrow, which started bleeding severely, and the blood running in his eyes made it very difficult to see from where the next blow would come.

Sedrane did not understand a thing, why would he had something to do with the fact that Darum´s wife was gone?, Ok, Yurna was a very attractive woman, that was true, but he never would steal another man´s wife no matter how beautiful, Sedrane was a man of honor and would never do a thing like that.

Now Darus wouldn´t know that of course.....so Sedrane tried to jump aside and parry as much as possible without hitting back....he did not like to hit a fellow ashkan....but if this continued much longer he would probably have to hit him....

Darum, Zergonipal




Darum continued cursing Sedrene, yelling profanities against his family, and his job as ashkan. He was happy to see his hits were effective, though only one had made it. He was now in a frenzy, he went to the other side of the tent and gulped down a goblit full of matze, and ran forward again. He yelled at the top of his lungs, and unsheathed a dagger...

Dimitre
Road outside New Vivec


Dimitre lay still as he opened his eyes. The smell of the fresh grass invaded his nostrals, invigorating him to some extent. Dimitre just lay there thinking for several minutes before saying,

"Are we there yet?"

Dimitre then looked over at Dahleena and the first thing he noticed was her taggered footware. He was almost certain he could have seen a toe sticking out of the side, but his head still hurt so he thought that his eyes might be playing tricks on him.

Dimitre sits up-right and rubs his face. Dimitre remembered hearing Akar say something about a few hours just before he regained conciousness, but didn't quite know what he had been talking about.

"A few hours until what?" Dimitre asked, scanning for a near-by river or stream.

As Dimitre sweapt the area, looking for a river or stream he noticed a city that could only be New Vivec. If that was the case then there was a stream just beyond the tiny hill. His heart raced, because he knew that he must really be smelling badly, and having Akar or Dahleena carry him probably turned either of their sense of smell sour.

"I'll be back in a few minutes, come get me if i'm not back by the time were ready to go towards Vivec." Dimitre said, getting to his feet. His back ached, his chest felt swollen and his hair was really sticky and full of odors he couldn't pin-point.

Once to his feet, Dimitre unstrapped his breastplate, pauldruns, greaves, gloves and boots and put them next to each other in a pile where Akar and Dahleena were resting their feet. Dimitres' muscles have grown in the last several days, so the once lose-fit shirt he had been wearing now hugged his body like a frightened child.

Dimitre tried taking the shirt off over his head but the hole for his head had shrank also. He tried undoing the knotts in his shirt strings, but that also wouldn't budge. He grew agrivated but excited at the same time that his muscles have grown so drasticly in just a few days, that he grabbed ahold of his shirt collar and ripped it off. The firmness of his muscles made it nearly impossable for his skin and muscles to giggle or bounce against the friction of ripping off the shirt.

Dimitre rubbed his arms up and down then proceeded to walk towards the stream. Thankfully he wasn't a very hairy person or else he would have been embarrassed to take his shirt off infront of Akar and Dahleena looking like a bear. He laughed at the thought of him being a hairy beast, then realized that with all his thinking he had gone and walked waist high in the stream. Dimitre let out a high pitched scream and jumped out of the water as soon as he could.

He took a few deep breaths, and placed his hands on the surface of the water. Once his body got used to the cool-ness of the water, he went back into the water waist high. Dimitre left his pants on because he wasn't a big fan of public nudeity. Dimitre grabbed a handful of water and started rubbing it over his body, making his muscles glimmer in the sunlight, thanks in part to the water.

"Hmm... Wonder if they heard me scream or if they left me here and went to Vivec?" Dimitre thought to himself while continuing to clean his stenched body.

Dalrus, New Vivec




A now flustered Dalrus continued to wait for Megil to stop talking with other people and answer her question. She didn't wait any longer and rode down from the wall, and asked where Stauros went. A hlaalu soldier happened to know, and pointed her towards the manor section, and told her to look for Serjo Serene's home. Dalrus rode off towards the manor section, and after knocking on two doors came to another door.

"Hello I was wondering if this was Mrs. Serene's residence, I am Dalrus Varus and i think one of the Hlaalu official's is talking with her now" she said politely to the lady who answered the door.



Yurna, Ashlands



How long has it been? Yurna thought as she put her right foot in front of her left foot. For the past day that seemed to be the only thing she could do. Just thinking about the long journey she still had pained her and she needed to sit down. There had been no wildlife for at least three hours an accomplishment in Yurna's eyes. She had passed by a yurt and thought it might be a friendly helper, however she had heard stories about outkast-ashlanders, and didn't trust this one.

She hadn't looked up for quite some time, otherwise she'd see the grazelands however she probably should have. Yurna tumbled over a hill, she had begun her decent into the plains, however the sudden change in angle had caught her off guard and she fell. She quickly grabbed a root jutting out of the hill, and pulled herself up. She brushed off the dirt, and continued her decent.

Inside she really was happy she had made it past the hardest leg of her journey, however her fatigue wouldn't let her show any form of emotion. The first part of her journey was by-far the hardest, however not the most dangerous. Telvanni patrols absolutley covered the Grazelands, and she would have to rely on her knowlege of rock formations and hills.

Once she passed through the border of the Grazelands she took a deep breathe. The air was so much more alive here, wind was not warm and burning it was cool and nice. She enjoyed the sites she saw, and even pat a few friendly guars. Things were doing better, however the clinking of armor changed this...

Sedrane, Zergonipal

Sedrane went pale when he heard Darum cursing his family, especially his mother, he just couldn´t take that....the rage rose in him as the blood continued to run down his face.....he prepared for an attack when he caught a glimpse of something shiny.....

"A DAGGER!, that bastarde has got a dagger"

Sedrane was unarmed, he did not wear any weapons unless in combat or at a hunt..and this was neither, he concentrated....one wrong move and he´d be greeting his ancestors on the other side...


Miss Satyana, S&J manor, vivec

Miss Satyana opened the door and found a Noble Woman outside a strange woman asking if this was the manor of Mrs Serene

"Yees, madam , this is where Lady Serene and Master Jonacin lives yes....what is your errand if I may ask?"

Miss Satyana looked down at the strange lady....yes looked down because she was indeed a tall Altmer.....

Dalrus, New Vivec



"Errand no, i must speak with Stauros because Isaarin wants to meet us both. May i come in, not to sound to forceful, but i dont think im alone out here?" she said worried.



Darum, Zergonipal



"You see this Sedrene, i can use this if you don't give up my wife" he said almost calmly. "I don't want to do this, however i must, you know it is business. My wife is mine, and you took her, now give her BACK!!"

Akar, On the Road

"I hope she's there." Akar answered. The last time he saw Serene, she had teleported him off and told him to meet her there later; he waited, but he could never find her.

Soon, it didn't matter, as Dimitre got up acting as if nothing happened.

"He's chipper." Akar remarked dryly.

Miss Satyana, J&S manor, vivec

"Stauros?. hmm then may that be the gentleman who´s talking with Lady Serene right now....hmmm, well come in then, by all means..I´ll tell Lady Serene you are here"

Sedrane, Zergonipal

"I HAVEN´T TAKEN YOUR WIFE" Sedrane yelled as he jumped aside, "I NEVER steal other men´s wives, but according to the way you treat her it´s no wonder if she left you!"

Sul-Matuul, Zergonipal

"NOW what IS this?, Darum!! PUT YOUR DAGGER AWAY!" The Urshilaki Ashkan was indeed angry, there were no time for internal quarrel, and he had no idea what all this was about, the fact that Darum was terribly drunk made him even more angry, besides if Sedrane got hurt .....it would be disastrous

Kyara, zergonipal

Kyara had silently arrived at the tent, she gasped as she saw Sedrane was hurt, but was sure the great Sul-Matuul would fix this......she dried her hands on her skirt and tried to recall some healingspells that Serene had told her. She realised Sedrane had to be healed...and she didn´t mind helping him..not at all....



Dahleena, on the road

"She better be there" Dahleena muttered, taking a look at her sore feet and decided to go barefoot the rest of the way.

Kaushad, Zergonipal

Kaushad came out of his yurt, attracted by the commotion.

"What is going on here?" he demanded, walking up beside Sul-Matuul, arms folded across his chest.

Akar, On the Road

"We're leaving, Dimitre." Akar yelled, as he walked with Dahleena towards New vivec.

"It doesn't matter if she's there or not anymore; Dimitre's obviously feeling fine and doesn't need healing."

Sul-Matuul, zergonipal

"Darum has got a weapon.....we must stop this nonsense whatever it is....at once!!"

Dahleena, on the road

"Bah...I wasn´t thinking of HIM......" Dahleena spat, "I am concerned about my FEET"
She was sour now....her feet were aching and Akar didn´t seem to care about her..hmm he was only concerned about that weirdo who was hanging on to them...

Darum, Zergonipal



"You just made me even more mad Sedrene, no one has a right to judge my treatment of my wife, i treat her fine, its her who needs to be taught a lesson," he said moving closer to Sedrene. "What is this Sul-Matuul, away with you, i don't care for you and never have!" he screamed. He had drank a dangerous amount of alchahol, and if he hadnt drinken so much on a normal basis he would have died. He lunged at Sedrene kicking him in the side. He then ran at Sul Matuul.



Yurna, Grazelands



It was a telvanni patrol that Yurna saw next. There were no hills or rocks in the area, and she had no idea what to do. She tried to remember an invisibility spell but was drawing a blank. Then she felt her bag which she had with her. There was a potion, though it wasn't invisibility. It was a fortify speed potion.

The patrol had spotted her, and about fifty telvanni soldiers charged for her. She gulped down the potion and ran as fast as she could. She sprinted past the first group and jumped over the spears of the second, however she had calculated that the potion which lasted 30 seconds, only had 20 seconds left, she sprinted at the top of her speed zooming across the plains. She had already been half way across when she ahd first seen the patrol. and would reach Tel Vos quite soon.

The potion wore off and she found herself three miles from Vos. The patrol quite far from there, and she spinted of towards the city. It was out of panic that she ran with such vigour. She found herself in front of the city in only 20 minutes. She walked down the street, and ducked inside of a clothing store. She had no money to pay for the clothes, so when the clothier asked what was wrong, and why she was so dirty, she did the first thing that came to mind. She hit the lady with a hard candle stick and stole the most normal looking garments she could find.

She remerged from the store, and walked up the path to Tel Vos

Kaushad, Zergonipal

Kaushad didn't like this situation at all; a quarrel between ashkhans like this could be disastrous to the already struggling alliance among them. But if someone decided to attack his son, they would have to face the consequences.

When he saw Darum charge towards Sul-Matuul, Kaushad decided that the same went for his friends as did his son.

Kaushad stepped in between Darum and Sul-Matuul, and grabbed Darum's arm, hoping to keep the dagger at bay.

"Go back to your yurt, Darum. You're drunk." he said with authority.

He didn't like this situation at all.

Akar, Outside New Vivec

"Oh, how could I be so insensitive?" Akar asked with extreme sacrasm. "Here I am worrying about someone who just lost his family and was sick, and there's someone with sore feet here."

With a roll of his eyes, he steped further ahead and lit his pipe.

Darum, Zergonipal



Darum was taken aback by his authority, and didn't resist, however he thought about it and didn't like this at all. He spat in Kashaud's face. "You will sacrifice my tribe if you do this, im telling you that now, we will leave this place and go north." he shouted.



Yurna, Vos>Tel Vos



Yurna walked with a slight hop as she realised she'd be safe if this councilor would talk with her. She walked through the gate way, and was utterly confused at how to get inside. She tried many doorways, and only succeeded in angering a scamp. It had now been fifteen minutes and she still didnt know what to do. Then she thought she could levitate there, she did after all have levitation. She quickly said the spell and climped high into the air, and found a door. She ran into it and ducked behind a bookcase. Five minutes of hiding gave her the nerve to finally move and she ran across the hallway, and into a chamber with a young man.

"You can't be master Aryon can you?"

Sedrane, zergonipal

"Uhhhgg" Sedrane lost his breath by Darum´s kick, besides he felt a rib or two break and that sending a knife-sharp pain through him....he bent over, unable to speak, then he eventually got his breath back and with a roar he flung himself at Darum grabbing his throat by both hands....and squeeezed.....


Sul-Matuul, zergonipal

The combattants hit Sul-Matuul right at his chest, making all three of them falling to the ground....the elder ashkan lost conscience when his head hit an urn standing there........


Dahleena, On the road

"Stop it meanie!, you are not funny at all!" Dahleena almost cried.....how could he be so mean....it was obvious that there was nothing wrong with Dimitre anymore...so why couldn´t he be kind to her? She decided to tell his mother if she met her...hrmmmm

Darum, Zergonipal



Darum tumbled over in pain as his neck was being squeezed. he had hit the ground pretty hard, and had gotten a broken nose. Blood trickled down his face and his eyes pained him. Blindly he went beserk and hit everywhere

Kaushad, Zergonipal

When he saw Sedrane coming, he immediately let go of Darum, stepping back. this wasn't good.

"Sedrane!" he shouted. "Let go of him!" Darum's tribe would indeed leave if this went any further.

Akar, On the road

"Look, I'm sorry." Akar said, even though he did think she was over-reacting. "Here." he said as he turned around and picked her up. "Now you don't have to walk."

Master Aryon, Tel Vos

"Yes, I am Master Aryon, and I don't normally allow people to come into my chambers unannounced and uninvited, but I will make an exception for a pretty young woman like yourself." he said with a bow. "What can I do for you?" he asked, putting the book he was reading down on his desk.
