Chapter Three: The Family Seal.
(Cascus)

My name is Cascus. I come from the Cines family, a family that once was a powerful and honorable family. But one day, my family was disgraced by my brother. He left the knightly order of Raven, in Dwynnen, of High Rock, and joined a Daedric cult. And one day, he returned, leading hundreds of Daedra. That night, the entire district of my town was destroyed. Except for the family mansion. This is why the people hate us now. They think its suspicious that only our house stood. And that the army was lead by my brother. That night, I vowed to search him out, and bring him justice.

I walked down the hall to my guild dorm. Along the way, people glared at me. One even called me a swine. I ignored them as I always do. But I put up with this every day. I walked into my room. I looked above the fire place, where my guild seal hung. The seal was an emblem of two Imperial dragons, bounded together by a ribbon. But one of the heads was missing, after my brother broke it in a fight with my dad. That was the day my brother left. The room had been cleaned, so I knew that Ellone had been in here today. She left a note as well. It said on it:

“ Deer Cascus Cines
I cleaned your room for you, but you could thank me later. You shouldn’t live like such a slob. You know that rats are attracted by messy rooms.

Anyways, I met a young woman, who requested your attendance. She wants to meet up with you in the Dragon and Rock inn.

~Ellone”

Why would anybody want to meet with me? Whatever the reason, I changed out of my training cloths, which were drenched with sweat. I put my silver long sword at my side. I didn’t need my shield, as the Inn was only on the other side of the street from the guild.

There was an Imperial guard at the entrance. I walked up to him. He asked

“Are you Cascus Cines?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Please enter.” He said, stepping off to the side.

As I walked into the Inn, I noticed no one was there except a girl with long blonde hair and two guards that stood next to her. She looked over and waved.

“Where is everyone? This Inn is normally full of people at this time of the day.” I said.
“We rented the place until we finish with it. Can’t really talk to you if there’s people listening.”
“Alright, what do you want?”

She walked over and sat on a stool at the table next to me. “Come and sit.” I shut the door and sat down.

“My name is Victoria. You know, your more hansom than I you would be.” She said.
“Why does she have to do this every time?” muttered one of the guards.
“So what do you want?” I asked, getting frustrated.
“Oh, sorry. Anyways, the Emperor requested you to come on a quest. I’ve heard about your family. This could be your one chance to clear your family’s name.”
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested.” I said.
“But where else could you go? You cant stay here forever.”
“I don’t care.”

I got up and walked toward the door. But before I got there, she said something that stopped me right in my tracks.

“We have information about your brother.”

I turned around and waited.

“He is alive. But at the same time, He isn‘t.”
“That doesn’t make since at all.”
“It will if you come with us”
“…Okay. I agree.”
“I knew you wou” “However” I said interrupting.
“If I encounter him along the way, I will do anything necessary to kill him. Even if that means abandoning the mission.”
“Okay, I understand”

I walked back to my room to pack a few things before I left. I ate a quick meal, and wrote a letter to Ellone, thanking her for all her hard work. I put my shield on my back. And as I walked out, I found myself looking the seal again. And without thinking, I put it into my bag. It was now time to forge a new name. Not for my family, but for myself. The one that will track down my brother, and destroy him.

Chapter four: Lonely nights
(Kai)

I stayed with Isabel until she fell asleep. After that, I went into the Inn lobby. The manager must have gone to bed. The only light in the room was from a dim candle. I sat down next to the broken window I was sitting next to during the fight. The blood stains were already cleaned up. The room was silent. I hate night time after everyone else goes to sleep. Its way to silent. I have to wait for sun rise, and when night is as dark and quiet as it was this night, it feels like an eternity.

The silence was broken by a group of loud local drunks gathering in front of the inn. Well, they weren’t really drunk, but they sounded like it at first. I found this even more annoying than the complete silence. I tolerated the noise, but what happened next really pissed me off.

A short, strange, creature I was not familiar with walked by. It had a dirty brown cloak on. Under that, it had a face resembling a toad. It also smelled really bad as well. But this creature was minding its own business, and the crowd walked up to it and began harshly insulting it. It ignored them and continued walking. One of the guys picked up the creature and turned it to face him.

“Do you think your better than us, Sload?” he said coldly.
“Just pretend I’m not here. I have something important to do, and to do it, I must pass through your lands”
“And what gives you that right?” he said.

I knew this would end in violence, so I grabbed my katana. Then they threw the Sload down and began kicking it. This really pissed me off.

“Hey!” I shouted, slamming the door open. Then I unsheathed my katana, and ran toward them.
“Run, the kid’s insane!” They ran, leaving the Sload on the ground.

I walked up to the Sload. It got up on its feet and looked up at me.

“Sorry about that.” I said, ignoring his odor.
“Its not your fault that the people here are so full of hate.” he said.
“I know, but some how, I feel like I am some how responsible.”
“The only thing that I’m angry about is that I was reborn as a Sload. You have it lucky being reborn as a creature from Tamreil.”
“Reborn?”
“Yes, what, did you lose your memory?”
“Well, yes, but I don’t have perfect memory like your kind.”
“Just because I’m in a Sload body, doesn’t make me a Sload.”
“Then what are you?”
“I am what you are. I’m on my way to Akavir. I must get to the reunion. You should be on your way too.”

The Sload walked off, turning himself invisible to not be seen by the villagers. I sat down. I stared at the sky, wandering what was going on in Akavir. Then, in that moment, I had this powerful feeling. Like I need to go there. I was thinking, if I went there, I could get an Idea of who I was. But I couldn’t leave now. I will leave after I get to Cyrodiil.
