Dimitre, Vivec Shores

"She's okay, but if you know any healing spells then i reccomend you use one before she gets sick from all the water in her lungs. I'll take Leni back with me to your moms house, you heal her up, put her clothes back on and i'll meet you back at the manor, okay?" Dimitre said, waiting to see if it was okay with Akar.

Isaarin, New Vivec

"Here, sit, have some brandy." he said, waving to the servant to take care of those things.

He sat down and began. "First, I'd like to thank you for your service to the House in gathering this army. From the reports I've gotten, you've made quite a name for us." He leaned closer. "But now I need some advice on where to distribute the soldiers."

"I was thinking that Caldera and Balmora should have more soldiers than the other towns, Caldera for its Ebony Mine, and Balmora becuase it's the center of our trade. Maybe Hla Oad as well; while it is small, it's one of the few towns we control that has a port."

"What are your thoughts on the matter?" he asked.

Akar, New Vivec

Akar nodded to Dimitre as he gave Leni to the man before kneeling down beside Dahleena.

He did his best in ridding the water from her lungs before doing as Dimitre said and cast a healing spell on her.

Dahleena, shores NV

Slowly she awoke, due to the healing Akar made on her, she looked up in his face smiling...

"Akar?.....didn´t I die? I was drowning......I could see the light in the tunnel, but I´m more happy to see you.....please hug me"


Mistress Therana, Telvanni councillor, Sadrith Mora

She closed the door to her cabinet, smiling. It was a relief to be alone, all those people swarming in the great hall, the Mouths...really using their mouths far too much....bah!

Therana changed into her nightgown, it was time to get some sleep, but first a bit of self-maintenance. Those face-masks made of green lichen and heather, that Baladas gave her really did wonders with the skin. Some obscure outlander prepare those for him and he usually give her one or two small jars when passing by.

She put on the mask and then sat down reading a book while waiting. She remembered in the old days, before the Nerevarine slayed Dagoth Ur, back then everybody thought she was crazy, out of her mind, a lunatic......oh aye, she definitely acted as one..but that was part of the game!

Therana was as sane as anyone....The Nerevarine knew but did not reveal her. Ah that was a great man.....too bad he was a Redoran! The Redorans are getting more and more cocky, they really have o be told a lesson.....

And then what about that ashlander-girl who came to see Master Aryon? Nah....have to find out in the morning!

Hmmm.....wonder when Amili will come back? She really is one of a kind! Therana chuckled as she thought of Amili....

30 minutes later Mistress Therana was sleeping ......no dreams were haunting her this chilly night....she slept with a smile on her face..which made it almost beautiful...

Stauros->New Vivec

Stauros took a seat and glanced at Dlarus, "Yes I think Cladera should havea fairly large force for that reason and because it is on our territorial borders." Stauros sipped some brandey and thought some more.

"Yes I agree that Balmora is an important point but taking that we have the fort there we don't need as many, becasue we will have the training forces and they could defende from the fort which is alot easyer. Then we should also send a fair amount to Suran. Again because of the border issue. Then I guess we can deploy the rest to anywer else that needs it." Stauros took another drink and looked at Isaarin, wondering what he'd say.

Akar, New Vivec

Akar obliged as a wave of relief washed over him. He had feared the worst, but now everything was alright.

"I'll carry you back if you want." he said.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Amili walked off of the ship as it docked in Sadrith Mora. She made her way to the place where she housed the Builders. Hopefully they were doing a satisfactory job.

She walked into the Gateway Inn, and spoke with the Head Builder. Apparently, they were ahead of schedule.

She went to see the tower, and was not disappointed. Only the first two levels were finished, and there were a few builders seen casting their spells to make the mushroom grow larger.

So far, so good. she thought. Now we need to get rid of a few councillors. Fyr, for one; he is only a Telvanni for what the House supplies him, not for what he can supply for the House. He cares nothing for us. And then there is Therana; I think there are spiders in that woman's brain.Dratha can stay; I find her hatred for men amusing.

She sighed; so much to do ever since Melkaan left the House in shambles.

Isaarin, New Vivec

"Suran...I hear most of it is burned." he said, showing Stauros a letter he had recieved. "According to that, some kind of daedra caused it."

"I have a splendid idea!" he exclaimed, putting his glass down and out of the way. "We could build another fort in place of the city. Build it around the river, as the city was, so that we can control what goes up and down it, securing our border on land and water."

He wrote that down; couldn't forget that idea.

"Stauros, I want to put you in charge of Balmora's defenses until the fort in Suran is built; then you will go there and Wred will take your place. Dalrus, I would like you in charge of Caldera. It is your hometown, right?"

Dimitre, New Vivec

Dimitre picked Leni up and placed her on his braud shoulder and walked back to Serenens' house with Leni.

"Honey, I'm home!" Dimitre shouted in a joking manner as he put Leni down on the floor.

"Leni, why don't you go get washed up for supper, your covered in sand, okay kiddo?" Dimitre said, looking at Leni with kind eyes, speaking as if he were a parrent once...

"Serene, where are you?" Dimitre shouted, and heard his voice echo though the rather large manor.

Dahleena,NV

"Would you? Awww you´re the sweetest one I know"

Dahleena cuddled up in Akar´s arms as he carried her back to Serene´s and Jonacin´s manor.

All were very worried since Dimitre told about the mishap with the swimming-lesson....but seeing Dahleena fit and sound relieved them.


Serene, NV

"So Saryn, are you staying here now? I´d love to have you and so would Jonacin and above all, Leni....oh and Dahleena and Dimitre are welcome as well. I think we need some support here....Azura knows what´s going to happen now.....hope Jonacin will be back soon with some news!"


Therana, Sadrith Mora

The following morning she woke up, fully refreshed and rather happy, she decided to go and see Dratha after breakfast.....so she called for her Khajiiti-maid to help her choose the best outfit.

"Mmm, want to make the old girl happy.....maybe she knows when Amili comes back....was it today?"

The young Khajiit, Chisandra, entered the chamber, as usual a bit afraid of her Mistress´temper, even though during the last years Therana had showed a completely different side of herself than before.....was this maybe the "real" Therana? Chisandra hoped so anyway.

An hour later Therana was heading towards Dratha´s chambers, bringing some of that face-mask.....even if Drathe didn´t fancy men....she might just be interested in looking her best when she got female company.....as just now!


While walking the short distance to Dratha, she noticed a new ship at the docks....could it be Amili??

Stauros->New Vivec

"Okay i'll move out to Balmora in a few days, I want to relax awhile before I leave."

Dimitre, New Vivec


Dimitre looked at Serene with a happy grin on his face, then once he heard the name of this man, "Jonican" the smile went away pretty fast. Jealiousy built up in his heart and mind, but he struggled to rid himself of that feeling. Dimitre started thinking.

Pfft.... Naw it would never work out... she's my friends mother! Besides, sounds like she's married already.... I gotta get out of here for a little bit at least.

Dimitre couldn't think straight around Serene, and figured it was pretty visible from his lack of conversation around her, or his nervus gitters when she would speak to or about him. He laughed at himself for having such a petty crush! He had thought that was something only children did....drooling over a girl!

Dimitre took a glance around the room and saw that almost everyone was pre-occupied with their conversations and, once again, Dimitre was left out of the loop. Resentment on top of Hate, Lust, and Jealiousy was not a good combination!

Dimitre turned and walked out the door, most likely unnoticed just like all those other times. It almost braught him to tears by the fact that noone even cared about him or showed any compassion. This happened to him like clockwork throughout his entire life so far. It left a throbbing pain in his heart that just added to his other, mixed feelings.

Whenever something good happens to me.... you have to take it away! Don't you Azura! You killed my fiance and my child! You piece of s**t! Why are you doing this to me?! What have I done to deserve this! I hate you!!!

tears welped up in his eyes, but something inside him snapped, and the tears stopped and all emotions went away. It was strange to him, he felt completely normal, as if nothing happened... no tears, no hate, jealiousy or lust, nothing! The thoughts still ran though his mind though that he was thinking just seconds before.

"I see how it is! You screw with my life then desert me and take my feelings with you?! Screw you Azura!" Dimitre muttered under his breath, then looked around, wondering if anyone heard him or saw him.

Akar, New Vivec

..friend's mother...married...

Akar looked around for a second, wondering who said that. Then he remembered; Serene gave him her ability.

He had probably only heard a snippet of the thought, but Serene surely heard it all...

"Huh? Oh, right. Sure, I'll stay for a little while, Mo-" the door slamming behind Dimitre interrupted him.

Isaarin, New Vivec

"By all means, Stauros, relax. You've done enough to deserve a vacation." He turned to Dalrus. "Do you have naything to add, M'lady?"

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Amili strode into the Council chambers, hoping to find one of the two councillors that she wanted gone. She knew she wouldn't; why would Fyr come to the Council Chambers, as uncaring about the house as he was? Why would an sinsane, spider-obsessed woman be here instead of playing with her spiders?

He went in anyway, though, and was approached by a messenger. "Miss Amili, I have a letter from Master Aryon."

Amili swiped the letter form him without a word and opened it.

Redorans are helping the ashlanders? Why? she wondered. The n it hit her. They want the ladn as bad as we do, they just want to get it by negotation.

Amili smiled. A war could now be started; Redorans had been killing Telvannis under the guise of ashlanders.

Serene, NV

Serene was truly schocked.....it did not occur to her that Dimitre had those feelings for her.....she could be his mother for god sake! But the worst were those self-destructive thoughts that came from the man.....she wished she wouldn´t have that "ability"..it made her truly sad that he was so depressed and she just couldn´t let him go away like that

"Dimitre!, wait....if you like to take a walk I´ll go with you, I do need some fresh air"

"Maybe she could get him to confide in her....get it out of his system..the murder of his family was about to crush him completely..and it was no benefit that he had some ..some feelings for her........."

She hurried after him and took his arm in a very friendly way

"Come on now....let´s go shall we?"

She cast auick glance at Akar.....making sure he understood her actions....ah he would, he read her mind as easy as she read his!


Therana, Sadrith Mora

Since she didn´t find Dratha at home she decided to go on to the council hall. And there she was....Amili! Therana held her head high and entered the hall in a way that just had to make Amili react..never had Therana looked like this before..

Her posture, her hair, dyed jet-black and kept in an intricate fashion..no more funny clothes, an exquisite robe jewels around her neck.....very nice shoes....

"Amili! how wonderful to see you back in Sadrith Mora!....What news do we have? "

Therana exclaimed this in a soft and melodious voice.....inside she laughed ......

Akar, New Vivec

Akar nodded to his mother as his mind filled in the blanks.

"You need to rest." he said to Dahleena, who he suddenly realized he was still caryying. He put her down on a bed and then went back to make sure Leni hadn't gotten in any trouble since he had went down the hall.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Apparently, there's a new spider born in Sadrith Mora that she wants to see.

"Hello, Therana." Amili said, faking a smile. "No new news really, Therana."

Dimitre, New Vivec Shoreside

Dimitre had gotten up from where he was sitting and started walking when he heard Serene call his name. Before he could turn around she was latched onto his arm.

"What's up?" Dimitre asked, waiting for a response.

His nerves were going almost out of his control at that moment, and thoughts went through his mind. The only kind of effection he had ever gotten from anyone was Dahleena when she was consoling him. He didn't even get effection from his fiance or daughter, seens how he hardly ever seen them, and his daughter was actually his step-daughter, so there was no blood relations what so ever. That angered him more.

Is she going to try to analize me or something? I have no REAL family, they've all died before I could remember any of them. There are also people who wanted me dead, and have hired many assassins to take me out. I just pray nothing happens to me while Serene is with me, I don't want Akar to go through the pain I have endured... please azura, i know she is still on your side, don't let anything bad happen to her and i'll repent and never talk bad on you again, i promise on my life and soul!

Dimitre kept an eye on his surroundings while walking with Serene, with the setting sun reflecting off her features eligantly.

Dahleena,NV

"Ahh Akar..come lie down here with me...." she called him .....by all mighty gods the toddler just gotta have a nanny or something.....she wanted Akar, and she wanted him now!!

Serene, shores

She was really shaken by Dimitre´s thoughts...

"Dimitre, you probably know by now that I have unvoluntarily read all your thoughts , and they scare me.....no man should be so unhappy and not loved! I tell you this; I care for you, you are my son´s friend and thus you are my friend. I want you to stay in our house, be with us, live with us, be part of our family.....if you wish to make yourself useful there will be tasks for you to pervorm. These tides are strange and dangerous, I need skilled people in my house to protect us all.....I do ask of you to stay here..i will do my best to make you feel at home.....so what do you say?"


Therana, Sadrith Mora

"Oh jee, the little brat thinks I´m lunatic still.....she think I´m obsessed with spiders..I can see that in her face"

"No news?, Oh but I think there are news......according to my sources there´s an ashlander refugee in Sadrith Mora....now what might that mean, dear Amili?"

Therana smiled at Amili....a cold but completely sane smile

"I´ll show her who´s wisest and most powerful among the Telvanni"

Dimitre, Shores

What Serene told him made him choose his thoughts cautiously, even scared him a bit. He knew she had some super-natural talents but never knew what they were exactly.

"I would like that, but on one condition..." he paused for a second then continued,

"If there is any signs of danger to your family because of me, you and your family will never hear from me agai--"

Before he could finish his sentance, three arrows pierced his naked back. The first two grazed his lungs, but hit the chest bones, cauing the arrows to stick out. The third one pierced his kidney, sticking out also.

The shots were so silent, and Dimitres' frame was so much bigger than Serenes, so it blinded her vision to what was happening.

Dimitre twitched when the arrows made contact, and not more than five seconds after he got shot, blood started flowing from his mouth as he tried to tell Serene something, blood flowed into his lungs, making it almost impossable for him to breath.

Serene..... please.... run! Dimitre thought, knowing now that she could read his mind, and knew the message would get across.

Dimitre feel to his knees, not breaking eye contact with Serene. He looked up, into Serenes' eyes and tried saying something, he ran it through his mind before trying to verbally say it..

"I...... s...r.....y...." were all the words that could be made out through the garble of the blood flowing out of his mouth, before looking at Serene with tears in his eyes and falling face first onto the shore. A pool of blood quickly started to form around his head, then he blacked out. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry...

Dimitre wouldn't allow himself to die, not without knowing Serene was back to the saftey of her manor, but also knew that if something didn't happen soon, he would be stairing down the gates of Oblivion.

Amili, Sadrith Mora

Wha- is she? It is possible...An insane person wouldn't know that I just slighted her...

Amili gave a conceding nod. "Forgive me, Mistress Therana. It seems that I misunderstood you."

Even if she was stil insane, it would be good to keep the councillor happy; they couldn't afford to have the House killing each other as was the custom.

OOC: Jeezerz!!! Are you gonna kill the poor guy!? Can´t allow it!


Serene, shores

She didn´t see from where the arrows came..she kneeled by Dimitre´s side, knowing that quick action was cruisal here unless the man would die.

She cast a fog-spell in order to cover them from any snipers....then sherapidly wrapped her cloak around dimitre, muttered some words which made her able to carry him with her..not very high above the ground....barely off it.

She made her way back to the manor at the same time she tried to reach Akar...she could do with some help.....ant then again she didn´t want to endanger Akar´s life


"Akar....I´m on my way back with Dimitre..he´s badly wounded"

She tried not to hurt Dimitre too much during the way back, but the poor mnan was moaning in pain, Serene hurried as much as she could, tears running down her face...this was just not fair.......she wished they didnt go so far away....


"Akaaaarrrr!"

Miles, New Vivec

Miles feet pounded upon the ground as he tore through the streets of New Vivec, making his way to Serene and Dimitre.

His sword was drawn in one swift movement.

What the hell are they doing here, I thought they were at Serene's manor?

Miles reached Serene, who was carrying Dimitre. He slowed his pace to match Serenes, who was visibly disturbed.

"Serene, do you need help? Isn't he heavy?!"

Miles had spotted them while exploring New Vivec, and this certainly wasn't the kind of stuff that would attract tourists.

Akar, New Vivec

He had just found Leni when he heard the voice in his head. He hurriedly gave Leni to Dahleena before running out the door.

He ran outside, and saw Serene and Dimitre running towards the manor, and the boy that had lead him to the manor in the first place. After seeing arrows in Dimitre's body, he drew his sword, looking for the attackers.

Serene,NV

She noticed with pleasure young Miles approaching, yet she yelled at him to be careful, there could still be some snipers....but with the help of him the way back went a lot faster, the small feather-spell was wearing off anyway

Then she saw Akar, sword in hand, and got terrified.....if anything happened to him she could not live with that

"Hurry inside..all!" she shouted heading up the gangway to the manor....Dimitre was still alive,,but just barely...This meant a big healing-process..she just hoped she still had some strength left
