"Jonacin", Serene´s voice was merely a whisper," are you alright?, where´s Arco, I think he´s injured, bring him here, i´ll help him, you two have to rest now, we need you strong and fit, this beast was only the first one, i can still feel the evil here"

Serene then closed her eyes fior a moment then she rose from the bed and gently pushed Jonacin down on it. The huge redguard was incredibly tired, he fell asleep before his head hit the pillow.

Serene sat down on the chair, concentrated, all alert and watchful. Then she closed her eyes again and prayed to Azura........

"Oomph!" Due to the wetness the rain was causing, Celia lost her footing when the Nord pushed her, and fell with a small splash into a rain puddle. She looked in dismay at her now muddy dress, until she heard a sickening sound of flesh spliting apart in front of them. "Eeew..."

The possibility of there being more of them set Celia on the edge. She quickly got up, ruffled out her dress and said urgently, "Let's move to somewhere less..." She glanced behind her. "Er, hostile..." She started to run, and gestured the Nord to follow her towards the center of Cyrodiil.

[Aki]

Fenris began running too, but seemingly only enough to catch up with Celia. He grabbed her around the waist with one hand, "I've got a faster method," he explained. He stopped momentarily, looking over his shoulder. Several Hungers were in plain view, running allong the cobblestone streets, others were rapidly moving across the sides of buildings with spider like grace.
Fenris took a deep breath, and the next thing both knew, they were hurtling through the air.

They landed roughly, but unharmed in the center of the city, next to the large dragon statue. "Cast a shout," Fenris explained, putting Celia down.
"Useful for getting out of danger."

[MerGirl]

Surprised that the Nord was holding her waist, his comment about "a faster method" didn't sink in until they were lifted in the air. She became disoriented and her heart beated wildly for several moments until they finally landed.

What had just happened? As the Nord explained to her, she noticed a Dunmer running in the opposite direction. "Hey, maybe he knows something about this." She raised her voice, calling to the caped Dunmer, "Hey, you! What's going on?"

[minque]

Serene heard some shouting outside..are there others here she thought, as she slowly walked towards the door, making a spell ready, just in case....

[Hukai The Wandering]

Arcyakt watched the scene in his mind. He should smell fresh blood throughout the city. As the rain began to pour down, drenching his black robe, he opened his eyes. "Rain." Arcyakt closed his eye's once more and watched. He stood suspended in the air, high above the city so that no one may see him. As he watched in his mind's eye, a thin wisp of blue smoke flew towards him. Arcyakt Threw forward a hand and materialized a staff from thin air. The smoke flew into his arcayic staff and for a brief moment, Arcyakt's whole figure glowed deep red.

"It's time." Arcyakt drew a long breath and the high elf bellowed in an unearthly voice, seemingly shaking the ground below him. As he did, every creature in the city flew unwillingly into his staff and the dark figure vansihed(sp?), dispursing the red mist as he left.

Jonacin woke up to the sound of shouting outside. There was no sign of Serene or Arco, so he sat up, casting bout for his swrod and shield. Readying them, he wnet down the stairs to see Serene creeping towards the door, eldritch fires flickering about her fingers. "Serene" he whipsered, "what's going on? Who's that outside?"

[minque]

"I don´t know" she whispered back, "I think there´s some people there, even think I heard a woman, but surely that can´t be true?

Serene rbbed her hands together, the glowing effect on her hands increased in strength......she opened the door just a little.....there was movement outside but she didn´t see, it was too dark

"jonacin", she hissed, come here look what are them figures there...man or beast? I cabn´t see properly, too much magicka-drain tonight.."

[Wolfie]

Slowly moving over to the door to avoid making too much noise, Jonacin peered out the crack into the open square. He could dimly make out the shape of a Nordic male and an Altmer female near the statue, and he told Serene this. "Should we call out to them?" he asked.

Falx lay half asleep on his cot, just finally able to rest after the harrowing experience. What had happened in the battle was enough, but what just happened was horrifing. Then slowly his awarness of his surroundings began to dissapate untill there was nothing but black.

"Sir Albarnian!" A voice woke Falx up from his slumber, he lay there for several moments. This time it was a more agitated voice that called, "Sir Albarian! Knight-Errant Varro wishes to speak with you!"

Falx stepped out of the tent with his Imperial shortsword and motioned it towards the messengers stomach.

"Never wake me again..." Falx said in a harsh tone.

The walk to the main tent was normal as usual save for the lack of joyful soldiers that normally accompanied a victorious battle. No drinks were, about or maidens from the local villages. Just Falx and a assortment of scared people.

Falx stepped up to the main tent, absolutely the same as the normal soldiers only larger to accomidate a planning room.

He saluted the guard in front of the tent flap, for clearly he was a member of the Rough Riders, it was made apperant by the red sash worn around the neck.

"Falx Albarnias reporting as ordered by Lord Varro" After a raised eyebrow and a few grunts Falx was let into the tent. In the far wall that overlooked the meager cot was the intire map of Tamriel, all that was the empires. Even Falx remebered the better days, back when the Emperor feared not for his life and those that lived under the Nine-Divines experienced a wonderful peace. That all ended when the emperor went into hiding. Now the conglomerate of guilds runs the empire, in the emperor's name.

"Ahh, Sir Albarnias, or Knight as your friends call you? Welcome to my humble quarters, I'm sure your wondering why your here no?" Lord Varro's tone was quite happy given the rather dreary circumstances.

"Well, we have recieved some rather disturbing news about the capitol city"Varro said looking straight into Falx's penetrated eyes.

"How so" Falx manage to get out.

"Well do you remeber when the gates of oblivion were let open, and floods of Deadric servants that came with it?" Varro waited for a nod, "It seems that its happening again, save the emperor.." Falx noticed how he said that with a bit of reserve, "..is still alive, and the gates of oblivion should still be sealed."

"How does this affect me, sir?" he said with little conset about the possibllity's of another daedra attack,

"I am sending you, Sir Darius and a contingent of soldiers to go and report with the Captain of the Gaurd in Cyrodil, maybe they know whats going on." He said as he studied Falx, "If anything is abnormally suspicious I want you to report back to me immediatly, understood?"

"Yes sir."

"Do to the circumstance's of the mission, and your past service, I think your in line for a promotion. Now, Captain Albarnias, go and find out the source of these problems"

Falx took his leave, he wasn't thrilled by the promotion for it just ment more responsability, but that seams to be what Varro wanted. Reguardless he would go and gather his equiptment for the day long journey.

"yes, please do" Serene answered, they might well be in danger,...but where is Arco? we´ll need him now.

Serene prepared a fire-spell just in case...

[Wolfie]

Jonacin warily stuck his head out the door, calling over to the two people standing near the statue "You two! What the hell are you doing out there?! There are all kinds of demons out there, far worse than your average Hunger or Daedroth! These things can withstand some very powerful blows!"

[minque]

Serene watched closely while Jonacin shouted at the two outside...then she suddenly discovered some novement in the shadows to the right of them...

"Exuro meus Hostilis" she yelled while she pointed directly in the direction of the sudden movement

The pointed fire-ball emerged from her outstretched hand and exploded some 25 metres to the right of the two figures out there..


A shriek revealed that the spell reached it´s target...

[Wolfie]

Jonacin started when a fireball suddenly whizzed by his head, but then he heard the inhuman shriek of agony and realised that Serene had noticed a creature and had taken action to prevent it harming anyone.

[Hukai The Wandering]

As Arcyakt finished his unearthly howl, certain it would draw the warriors, he calmly chanted a few unheard lines and in doing so, instantly replaced his armor and robe with tattered and burnt rags. He now held a whip in each hand which he calmly laid on the ground. After which, he laied on the gorund in a posistion that looked like he had knocked out. This is too easy...

[Aki]

Fenris raised a eyebrow, before looking towards the Redguard who had yelled at him. "Nothing i can't handle," he said simply, before looking over in the direction of where the fireball had hit. He shrugged and began walking towards the house the Redguard and the Imperial woman who had flung the fireball were in.

[Wolfie]

Seeing the Nord heading towards the house, Jonacin told Serene to stay alert and watch for any more monsters, while he headed out to meet the two strangers. "What brings you here?" he asked

[minque]

In the meantime Serene crouched in a corner concentrating of getting her magicka restored...

"Thought the center of the city would be a good place to get away from that army of Hungers that wanted me and the Altmer lass for lunch," Fenris explained.
