Ahnaressu's Travels Ch. 7 Options

[Dantrag]

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 left the temple as soon as he could for two reasons. One, because of his urgent mission, and two, because he hated the worshippers of the tribunal. The Urshilaku taught all of their young about the false gods. Ahnaressu could not justify worshipping mortals. He went south, where he was told that Koal Cave was located.

He came upon the entrance, and wasted no time walking inside. The shrine was right in the doorway, and beyond was only water. Not seeing anyone's mother in the small area of land he was on, he stripped down except for his shortsword, and jumped into the water. He went straight on throught the watery tunnels, until he came upon two more tunnels. He could continue straight, go left, or go right. Ahnaressu did not take long to make the decision to go straight, his lungs felt like they were going to explode. He spotted a place to come up for air, and he wasted no time doing just that. He gulped in the air, and quickly went back under the water. He continued a bit further, only to find a dead end. Frustrated, he went back to the intersection of the tunnels. he went to his left, and went even further, only to find another dead end.
And two fierce-looking dreugh.
He swiped at one with his sword, but it was much more adept in the water than he, and easily avioded the clumsy swing. The other druegh grabbed him in his claw, and began trying to drown him. Ahnaressu struggled, but realized that it only made the creature squeeze harder. He relaxed immediately, not knowing what else to do.

Nyph told Valnor of the mage, and Valnor agreed that none should obther him in his studies. Valnor began to like Lergo as much as he liked Nyph. It wasn't long before Lergo was at the same station in rank as Nyph. Nyph cared about that about a much as he cared about everything else - he didn't. Nyph did, however, want desperately to see Lergo's spell, even if he wasn't quite convinced of its reality. Valnor's army was growing ever so slowly. He had about forty men, but that number had decreased recently to a mere twenty due to desertion, and Valnor wanted a hundred men before actually attacking another ashlander camp. Valnor was no novice to the slow process, having spent about three and a half years to raise the first army, and now he wanted double the original number of men. He would wait. Revenge had its own patience.
