Revan part 2/ chapter 1: Rhys

...... even in exile we care for the well being of our people as a 'whole', our cousins spurned us out of hate, we will accept them in love......

-Matriarch Tedra, adressing the Yutak-Noruk in sermon

Revan didn't know where the Dark Naryyn would settle, but he felt that Morrowind was a good place to start; he also believed his comfortability with caves and dark places was hereditarely imprinted on him. So he found himself walking through ghost gate on Vardenfell.
It really wasn't as bad as people said aside from the several ash ghouls that wandered the area, they were very ill tempered to outsiders intruding on their turf. Revan opened a wooden door at the edge of the trail only to hack of a group of five or six undead corpus monsters.

He reached out his hand and the beasts were thrown back by the wave of telekenetic wave, most made sickening crunching noises as they hit the walls of the cavern, but two were consumed by the pools of lava that dotted the floor.

Revan took the wake-up call to heart and activated his twin swords (both were more valuable to him than a cave full of gold, they were artifacts of Revan's ancestors who had abandoned Tamriel eons ago) both sprouted a single bar of silver light that could cut through almost anything like scrib jelly.

in another section of the tunnels.........

A group of bonewalkers staggered, waddled, and crawled around a small chamber deep under Red Mountain. One wandered around a cornerout of sight, several moments later it burst back into the view of its companions it lay dead on the floor in pieces; as the others looked up from the corpse they only caught a glimpse of a black clothed figure holding a double-edged hilt with two silver blades jutting out of the ends.

As the figure spun its sword/staff, kicking out as it did the undead were put to rest again............ The figure took a deep breath to calm down, and paused to detect a alluring presence-not undead- make its way down the upper areas. The black clothed being closed its red eyes and sat down to wait for the being who felt so...... so like her.

Revan............

Revan stood triumphant over the twenty bodies he had just slaughtered, and felt the presence of the other, he was sure that this person was one of his siblings. He began to sprint, deeper to find the other, slicing through every single zombie that stood in his way.....

High Naryyn stronghold.....

Xarkum was stunned with all that had transpired since his friend Revan, his sevro had escaped from the honor guards. The loss of all the future archeological finds was the last thing on his mind. Norik had assumed control of their operations and had purged all attempts at learning from the ruins; more importantly though was that Lord Xaries had been incarcerated, and Norik had taken over.

Xarkum's father had made the eradication of any Dark Naryyn on this world paramount, Xarkum was worried about Revan, the Honor guards themselves had been sent out along with troops to track down and destroy anyone who challenged his discisions.
Xarkum's uncle, Xaries had instructed him to stay out of the current turbulence for now, before he was imprisoned that is. Still not all of the High Naryyn had sided with Norik, and had banded together to resist his will; most had been loyal to Xaries or sympathised for the Dark Naryyn after meeting Revan.

The group didn't mean to start a conflict, but tension was mounting and Norik believed they were going to rebel against him. Some scouting parties had been sent in an attempt to find Revan (or any Dark Naryyn) but none had returned with news.

Norik was anxious, he had sent his honor guards and his most loyal warriors out to destroy the treacherous Dark Naryyn. But he was losing his patience with the group of followers that showed great reluctence to do as he instructed, they refused to see the truth that was right infront of them, he was in charge now. He had locked his brother away for his insubordination and treason, Xaries had not refused him and put up no fight.
Norik's full attention was devoted to the goal of this crusade, the extermination of the Dark Naryyn vermin, in particular the one that had escaped his wrath and murdered thirty of the faithful recruits, Revan was his prize. Norik wanted him alive, so he could torture Revan before his execution. But Norik felt uneasy about his honor guards, they had simply watched their prey elude them, and ignored his commands to pursue the infedel.

Honor guards were supposed to follow his orders to the letter, but they seemed to be......... independant, as though they thought for themselves. So could they disobey him if they wished? He shook his head to dismiss the disturbing prospect, he grabbed a nearby cup of some alchoholic beverage of this world and gulped it down. It burned his throat for several seconds after it made contact.

Dagoth Ur caverns............

Revan slowed down as he neared the presence, and spotted the dead zombies, he noticed the telltale marks of energy blades. Then he saw the figure sitting in the middle of the carnage. It......... no she opened her eyes, giving him a searching glance. Her eyes were red like his, and the skin that was visible was the same ashen tone as his, so she was another Dark Naryyn!

Rhys looked the armored figure up and down; she couldn't see the man wearing it, but his movements were like hers and she felt him exude confidence and........ and relief. He reached up with both hands and lifted the imposing mask-helm off of his head. He was as young in appearence as she was, she couldn't see any excess fat on his face, and his short hair was white (like hers) but was red in two strands above his sideburns. There were equally as dunmer-like except for their human like ears.

Revan saw understanding cross the womans face and felt that he could rely on her. "Greetings sevra-sister- my name is Revan" Rhys was surprised that she could understand the new word, but it was familiar even though she'd never heard it. "Greetings sevro, I'm Rhys." Revan sat down infront of Rhys and explianed all that he knew about the current crisis.

upper caverns.............

Captain Harrow ordered his men to halt as he inspected a decomposed corpse, yes there were the same burns marks on the body as the bodies of the thiry or so grunts that had died in the prisoner's escape. He ordered the other solders onward,knowing the vermin were close, the infedel's companion(s) were to be killed on the spot, but bring the one named Revan alive, the squad moved on.

Revan and Rhys........

Rhys listened intently no matter how unlikely Revan's statements were, she believed she could trust him. When Revan finished speaking he gazed at her, Rhys didn't think Revan was one to remove his helmet to someone he didn't trust, she believed everything he had told her. "So if the High Naryyn are killing our people were ever they find them, then we have to find our kin before they do."

Revan nodded, his face one of grim determination, "We should leave soon, before they find us, they probably want m-" Rhys gazed past Revans shoulder at the golden armored High Naryyn entering the chamber weapons at the ready, just as Revan's voice trailed off.

Captain Harrow grinned, his orders clear. "Revan, the High Naryyn Executionary force is here to take you to our glorious hand of the council." Both of the fallen ones got up, the male put his helmet back on. "We were ordered to kill any accomplices in your presence, but to take you to our lord alive." Harrow noticed Revan move subtlely block the female from harm, Harrow would have laughed, in Revan's situation he would be worrying about himself, oh well, we'll just have to take him by force. "Very well we shall take you by force," Harrow gestured for his men to open fire.

Revan and Rhys moved in unison in left and right, blades activated two single blades, one double blade. The battle was more of a ballet than a deathmatch, both effortlessly switching from offence to defence in tandem. They weren't thinking, they were reacting; both working together as though they'd know each other all their lives.
And the last thing Captain Harrow ever saw was not two, but four blades of Dark Naryyn origin swinging to snuff out his irrelevant life, like a candle against a cold breeze.

Revan part 2/ chapter 14: The Awakening

What can be the price for such intimacy? Revan asked himself. I can feel my connection to Rhys, but am I willing to cross this line? I could ruin both our lives, and the lives of those that depend on us....... Revan was no longer paying any attention to the many beings swirling around them, only the woman beside him and her offer demanded his focus. After what seemed like a millinium, Revan finally stirred from the quagmire his mind was right then. Rhys, I will share my mind with yours......... His mind-voice sounded clenched to him. And whatever might happen, if we are ruduced to shells, then so be it.

Rhys stared into his eyes for a long moment, then she nodded solemly. Then let us begin....... Revan felt as though a lock in his head was unlocked and Rhys' cold, soothing presence flooded into his soul.......

He stood on an invisible floor. Then a beacon of light openned and Rhys' slim figure became visible. On the small arm-length wide floor both Naryyn strode forward, mirror each other's posture, never taking their eyes of one another. And when they met........ They fell alone.

Revan plumeted until he slammed into a pool of water, but as he kicked to remain on the surface the water became so thin that no matter how Revan struggled, he continued to sink. Several feelings washed over him, he breathed them in instead of water, but still felt like he was drowning in these emotions. Happiness flooded his mind and for a moment, he felt warmth, loved and sheltered, but then it was torn away and Revan felt freezing, alone, and abandoned.
His mind's eyes opened and revealed a young man, in his late twenties, wearing a guard's uniform with the symbol of Bravil emblazoned on it, the man smiled and called out something. A young Rhys ran into view and embraced the guard laughing and....... alive with happiness. The image blurred and it changed it showed a dark room and in the center was a white coffin and the guard from before was lying serenly in it eyes closed, completely at peace, but the image changed to outside Bravil as an adolesant Rhys ran bitterly from the city of her childhood, sobbing heavily. Revan felt his eyes fill with tears in unison with Rhys' tear.

Rhys.......

Rhys fell and landed hard on a cold stone floor, she got up shakily and looked around the dark room. there were no exits, all the walls were bleak and had no remarkable features. Suddenly she heard a faint hissing sound, she wheeled around, but there wasn't anything visible that had made the sound. As Rhys started to back away toward a wall, she realized that he feet refused to lift. She looked down at them, only to find them incased in some sort magical ice.

Rhys tried to concetrate and cast forth a fire to melt the ice and free herself. But to her horror she found that her power had forsaken her, and slowly her body began to freeze. It was hard to breath after the ice encrusted her chest and she couldn't scream because her head rapidly froze over. Now paralyzed, the ice became colder than anything she ever felt; her mind itself seemed to be frosting over. A dark halway appeared and she straode down its length. There were voices speaking, one was load and full of authority. "Why did you even think to bare a child of muddled blood?"

There was a long pause, behind the door that Rhys stood before. She tried to pry it open, but the door refused to yeild. The voice resumed its speech. "You shall be exiled from our order....." Finally the door squeezed open just wide enough for her to squeeze through. Once through Rhys turned to look at the room, and what see saw sparked new questions.
A young, beautiful Dark Naryyn female sat on a chair stroking a newborn baby's forehead, and a tall, handsome, broad-shoulder High Naryyn man stood gazing fondly at the baby's peaceful sleeping face. "....and as for your son, he will ne taken to the new colony, council adjourned!" Several armored men of both races stormed in and ripped the baby from its parents.......

The sky was grey and Rhys found herself in the courtyard of a shrine. Two Spirits stood at the other side and they had a stiking resemblance to the two........ Rhys felt shock and brief horror, but the image dissappeared.....
