Forgot to post chapter 7 in this site i realized....here you go.

---
Ahnaressu had been scouring the ashlands for weeks, hunting Valnor. The weeks of hunting proved to be unfruitful, leaving a very angry dunmer boy. Ahnaressu was devoid of all emotion in his hunt. Except anger. Familiar images, images that had never left him, filled his mind. He saw his mother dying, offering one last spell to destroy her enemies. He saw Valnor, the cruel dunmer who seemed so far away. He saw the survivors of the tribe, running for their lives, Ahnaressu still wasn't sure of their survival. What he saw most clearly was his future. And in it, he saw his revenge.

Valnor noted the move of the Urshilku tribe. He had seen the old site and the new. He marked the new position on his map for future reference, and continued his hunt for another army. Seeing another small camp, he made his way towards it, planning to give his well recited speech to whoever was in the camp.

Ahnaressu knew he was not himself. It was as if anger controlled his every step. Anger seemed to be a separate entity that took his body from time to time. Ahnaressu remembered the same thing happening during his fight in the Rat in the Pot. Ahnaressu need only to see Relgar to bring him back to reason. Without the baby boy, Ahnaressu believed, he would not have survived so far. Anger would have controlled him, devoured him. He would not lose himself in his anger. Or so he hoped.

An alit walked around, apperently searching for a meal. It found what it was looking for. A cave rat always cured an alit's hunger. The alit stalked silently (For an alit anyway!) on its two awkward legs.
The alit made a strange jump, catching the rat under its foot on the landing. Thinking it had a meal. The alit turned around, only to catch a dagger in the neck.

Nyph smiled at his own excellent marksmanship. Thinking of the meals he could cook with the alit he killed and the rat that was killed for him. The assassin skinned the two animals right there before taking their meat and the alit's hide back to the camp.

Nyph arrived at the camp to see four new mambers. The assassin politely offered them the alit hide, not needing it anyway.
"What a thoughtful gift." one of them said.
"It is my pleasure." Nyph said.
Nyph honestly liked nobody in the band other than Valnor, but he knew they were necessary for their mission. Therefore, he tried to make a sense of "friendliness" in the band, hoping for less deserters. His plan was working. Nyph Noted an unusual dunmer in the latest small group to join their cause. He was obviously not very strong, as a matter of fact, his body looked very frial, but his eyes glowed with an intensity Nyph had not seen in anyone but a certain young boy. Nyph told himself to meet him, but not now. There was food to eat right now. Nyph sat down by a nearby fire and slowly roasted his meat while sipping a bit of matze. Nyph liked nothing better than killing and relaxing. Killing being his favorite.

Ahnaressu was bored of the healing process and his willpower could not handle the temptation of a healing scroll. He healed his wound, and made his way towards a city. Looking at his map, Mar Gaan was the closest one, but Ahnaressu knew that often the cities in the ashlands were full of thieves and exiled ahslanders, so voted for the western city of Gnisis.
Gnisis loomed before the young dunmer. He remembered his last experiment in "civilization", and still wasn't pleased. Ahnaressu did this for Relgar, not for himself. He had no luck finding his own people to leave his brother with, and he was intent on finding someone to take care of the boy, or he would delay his revenge until Relgar was older.

Nyph sat on the furs across the tent from the mage, Lergo. Lergo explained the lates spell he was working on. A devastating spel that would control the weather for a brief period of time, sending many large bolts of lightning. Lergo figured it could wipe out a small army in mere seconds.
"This could be useful. I will be sure that none bother you in your studies."
Lergo examined the look on Nyph's face. "You do not believe I speak truth." Lergo stated, almost accusingly.
"No I do not. But I have been wrong many times. I spoke the truth when I said none will bother you."
"Do not underestimate the power of magic. Do not underestimate my power either assassin."
Nyph merely smiled and said. "Prove your power to me, and I wil believe."
"You will see its power when we battle the Erabenimsun." Lergo stated.
Nyph started to leave, but Lergo added. "A task I heard you failed in recently."
Nyph continued to walk away.

Ahnaressu had no idea who to leave his brother with. He trusted nobody he did not know. That was every person in the town. He had no choice but to settle down while he looked for a place to leave his brother. Ahnaressu walked around the town, trying to learn his way around. He came across a distressed-looking girl about his age.
"Is everything alright?" Ahnaressu asked.
The girl looked up, her teary eyes meeting Ahnaressu's. "No...my..." She burst into tears.
Ahnaressu pressed gently. "Your what? What happened?"
She looked down to the ground and said. "My mom. She never came back from her temple chores. I,,,,,I think something bad happened."
"What kind of task?"
"A pilgrimage. The Shrine of Valor is what I think she called it."
"Do you know where it is?"
"No, but I bet you could find out from a priest or priestess in the temple. There is another shrine here in Gnisis so you shouldn't have a problem finding one."
Ahnaressu had decided at the beginning of the conversation to help the girl. He left his brother with her and headed to the temple.
