Chapter two: Omen
(Isabel)

My name is Isabel. I am a 17 year old Adapt at the Temple of Akatosh in Daggerfall. I was transferred to a temple in Zenodai. Located on the south western side of the Dragontail mountains. But along the way, I was separated from my escort, and captured by a necromancer named Darroll. He was clearly insane, as He thought I was his wife at first. After realizing that I wasn’t even a gold elf, he locked me in a cell with an Argonian named “Waits for the Red Moon” And a Cyrodel (about 19 years old) who lost his memory. A Redguard (In his early thirties) named Locke, rescued us. We left the cave and ended up out side the Dragontail mountains. When I asked him, he told me that the emperor sent him.

“The Emperor?!” I said out of shock.
“Yes, But that wasn’t the only thing I came for.”
“Well, what else did you come for?” Kai asked.
“Darroll had on him, an artifact that never should have been here. How he got it, I have no idea. But I wasn’t expecting a third prisoner.”
“What do you mean?”
“I was told that there will be two prisoners. A temple Priestess, and a warrior who has forgotten his past”
“How did you know that…?” Kai glared “Who is giving you your information?”
“That information is classified.” Locke answered

Kane looked distracted by something. He was staring at the mountains to the north. Kai sat down on a rock the size of an arm chair. He put his head in his hands. He looked angry. I walked over to comfort him. After all, he must have been under a lot of stress.
“What’s wrong?”
“What?” He said, looking up.
“You look angry.”
“You would be angry too if you had no memories!” He said loudly, but not really shouting.
“I’m sorry” I said.
Kai sighed.
“No, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t get angry at you. I’m just confused.”
“I forgive you.”
“Can I ask you something?”
“Sure, anything.”
“Why are you always so happy? I mean, what’s the point?”
“Well… I guess I like to be happy. Isn’t that the goal for everyone?”
“I guess.”

I noticed Kane was still looking out at the mountains. His eyes were fixed at one point.

“What are you looking at?” I said as I walked toward him.
“Something is coming.” He said quietly.

Kai and Locke were talking to each other, so they didn’t hear Kane.

“Where?”
He pointed to a hill. A horse drawn wagon came over it.

“Then lets go already. It’s a long walk from here to the Imperial city.” I overheard Kai say.
“We’re waiting for someone.”
“You mean that person over there?” I asked pointing at the wagon.
“Yes, there he is,” Locke said.

Locke put on a golden ring. A shining gem was in the middle, with Nordic Runes carved around it. He held his hand up and his ring started shining brightly. The Orc driving the wagon turned his path in out direction. He started to speed up. With in five minutes, He was over to us. He looked at Locke.

“It’s a nice day out.” the Orc said
“The mission is complete.” Locke said.
“Yes, and they are unharmed as well.” The Orc turned to us. “Well, get in the back, we can talk on the way there.”

Kai jumped onto a rock and jumped in. I must admit, I’ve never seen anybody jump like him before. Of course, I’ve spent most of my life at the temple, so there are a lot of things I haven’t seen before. Locke climbed into the front with the Orc. Kane helped me in, and then climbed in himself. The wagon was filled with all kinds of weapons and armor.

“Are you a trader?” I asked the Orc.
“Sort of. I use it as my disguise. You cant just go around and tell everyone that your in the blades. If you do, you wouldn’t be in the blades for that long.”
I already guessed that Locke was in the blades, but I didn’t know that the Orc was too.

“Yes! A weapon I’m good with!” Kai said, pulling out a Katana. He unsheathed it half way. “Made out of steal…” He then pulled it all the way out and stood up. He held the sword with the blade tip pointing the sun.
“Sharp though” He sheathed the katana and sat down. I leaned against a large chest. I felt something move inside, but since we hit a bump, I didn’t think much of it.

“What kind of weapon are you good with?” Kai asked looking at me through the corner of his eye.
“Me? Well, I’m not much of a fighter. But I have been taught how to shoot a bow.”
“Good” he said, taking out a wooden bow and two arrows.
“Its been a long time since I shot, and even back then, I wasn’t that good.” I laughed. He smiled and said “All you need is practice.”

I felt something thud against me from the inside of the chest again.

“What was that?” I said to myself.
“A woman!? Please help me, women! The Orc trapped me in hear! He’s a bad man!” a voice from inside the chest came. I opened the chest.
“LIGHT!”

It was a Khajiit. His arms were tied behind his back.
