Synollian and Ales
{This story has been lost for many years. But there was one wise man left who told it to me before he died. At once I recorded it so that it would not be lost again.}
By Forrest
Once ,a long time ago in the land of Cyrodiil, there lived an Imperial young man named Synollian who lived next to a Breton lady name Ales. They were madly in love, but Ales' parents always said "It would be a shame for a Breton to marry an Imperial!" Synollian's parents always said "A civilized family of Imperials such as we shall not continue the family line through a Breton!" Their family’s would not permit them to see each other.
But unknown to their parents that in Ales' bedroom there was a crack in the wall. And their rooms being in the same building, the crack peered into Synollian's room also. Ales and Synollian would talk for hours and hours through this crack. Over the years their love grew and blossomed into a beautiful relationship. This carried on without their family ever finding out.
One day, they decided that they needed to see each other, they were tired of living out their romance through a hole. So that night they would meet in an abandoned field, next to a tomb.
So that night at the stroke of twelve, Ales arrived in the field before Synollian did. So she decided to wait. The moon was full and it's light shone down to the ground. This time she heard a heart racing growl. Seeking shelter she ducked back behind a tree. She saw the creature step out under the moonlight. It was a Were-Wolf. Blood dripped from its mouth and the crimson froth foamed down its chin. This time she noticed her shoe had fell off onto the ground. The Were-Wolf sniffed it and took it into its mouth.
Synollian arrived at the spot and saw the Were-Wolf holding a shoe in its mouth, with blood dripping from its mouth.
"Oh God! Have I arrived too late! Has my dear beloved been devoured by this evil beast!" He cried into the night.
Ales were going to shout to him, when he pulled his silver sword from his sheath and slew the creature of the night. "You will not take another’s beloved, for I have vanquished you from your evil patrols. Now, I will join my love!" He shouted again, took his sword and plunged it into his chest.
Then Ales ran out from behind the tree into the moonlight. She ran to Synollian's side and whispered to him "My dear! What have you done? I have not been taken by this beast!" while sobbing, with tears running down her eyes. His eyes opened as blood spurt from his breast, he died with a peaceful look on his face, as if he had seen an angel before he went. Then Ales took the sword, with her lovers warm red blood, and plunged it into her breast. Her lifeless body fell onto Synollian's and their blood mixed together under the moonlight.
