Secon Part:
Many came to Elestar`s manor to give their condolences, most of them from the mages guild were his father was kept in high regard, but to Elestar nothing of that mattered for he was consumed by revenge, he sought for one of his fathers closest friends, Adian Caius, a dragon of the imperial legion.
The study of Elestar`s manor was magnificent, hundreds if not thousands of books and tomes collected by his father in many of his journeys across Tamriel, it seemed as if the whole knowledge of the empire was kept secreted in that lonely study, the only illumination came from the chandeliers hanging on the ceiling, the chair on which Elestar was sitting had a series of complex patterns and writings, as well as the table on which many scrolls and papers laid, they all were about Elestar`s family properties, among them where documents about the manor in the imperial city, a keep in the Colovian forest region, several ships as well as a plantation and many buildings and shops in Vvardenfell , all this and more belonged now to Elestar, the only heir of the Velian family.
One of the many servants in the manor opened the door that day, this one had nothing in particular, she was wearing the red and white colours of the Velian family shield, recognising the honoured guest she bowed as he entered, it was Adian Caius in his golden armour, a sight worthy of a king’s eyes, years of experience and training, countless battles and legends surrounded this mans name, and he was standing in front of her, a simple servant from the Ashlands whose only accomplishmet in life had been leaving the wastelands of morrowind, she led him to the study where her master was awaiting for him.
Master Velian… - she said softly, calling Elestar by his family name as the family customs dictated – The imperial dragon has arrived.
The conversation started about Elestar and how he was dealing with his parents lost, after a while Adian revealed the motive of his visit.
I have found him Elestar, I have found the assassin of your father – Silence reined the room for a moment, then Adian got closer to him and said – it’s a wizard of house Telvanni, his tower lays in the colovian forest region, near the frontier with Valenwood.
This wizard you tell me about, can he be… removed? – Elestar spoke with anger and suffering, although he was clear on what was needed to be done, he knew that a house noble could not be killed with impunity.
My men’s and I are leaving to the colovian forest the coming week on a assignment, you could come with us, I want to help you in this son, Aluseron was my closest friend – Elestar haven’t heard anyone pronounce his fathers name since his death, it came like a daggers bite to his heart.
