The End of an Era 44

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:56 am

(blah people never notice adeth on the ground... :P lol )

Adeth woke up to several people's worried tones and one cheerful tone, his eyes were open but everything else was just stiff and he couldn't feel a thing. His body was covered by snow at places but due to him being under a tree, it wasn't much. He tried to move his arms to lift himself up but when he tried to move, he couldn't. 'could someone please help me up if there's people there?' he asked in a desperate tone that was raspy and coughy.

Adeth cleared his throat a bit to try again. 'Could someone please help me up? Anyone? I cant move here.' He repeated louder. He looked around him and tried to move his head but could do so only a bit.

Mira's spell coursed through Karst's body and instantly her thoughts, respiration and heart rate slowed considerably. She seemed to snap back into reality a little as well, the frenzied mania leaving her. She looked at Vivian, then at where his hand rested, bleeding on her sword. She looked to Iris, then Serena, Mira, Mia and Paulus, all in turn.

Blinking, Karst began to realize what was going on and suddenly felt a combination of nausea, lightheadedness and fear. Did.. was all of that.. No, it couldn't be. Where did the dream end and reality begin, though? How much was real? Did.. did I really just accuse Iris of violating me? I did, didn't I?

Lowering her head and her ears, Karst let go of the shortsword, the blade dropping to the snow among the blood droplets that had fallen from Vivian's hand. And Karst joined them a moment later, sinking to her knees and running her fingers nervously through her hair, the crimson strands damp from the snow. After experiencing copious amounts of stress in prison for years, she'd almost gotten used to her captors' brand of torment when she was thrust out into the world again. It wasn't long before other problems had set in, one after another, and the effect of it all was that she was inevitably losing her mind. And she knew it. The small Khajiit looked up at the others, feeling even tinier than normal.

"I'm a threat to all of you.." she said finally, her voice like that of a man who had resigned himself to the gallows, "Just.. go. All of you. Get the hell out of here before I cause you further anguish. I can't even tell my dreams from my reality anymore, let alone be of any use to you guys."

ooc: I get the feeling we'll be needing Veyar again so, in the absence of his creator, I'll take him unless someone else wants to.

ic: Veyar awoke, still clad in his Indoril armor, and groaned as he forced himself up. Upon looking around, he saw most of the others standing over by a tree a ways away, but none of them seemed to be Karst, and the Khajiit wasn't around the camp either. Turning to Zant, he hoped the man would know where his sister was.

"Zant.. where's Karst?" he inquired groggily. One white finger pointed over at the others.

"Over there, out of her mind. It's too painful for me to look at." Zant replied tonelessly. He seemed rightfully disturbed about the whole thing. The Buoyant Arminger pushed himself from the ground and thumped over to where the others were. He was shocked by what he saw and heard. Walking by the others, he knelt by Karst.

"What do you mean? What's wrong?" he demanded.

Karst turned her eyes up to him and he jumped at seeing a look in those beautiful eyes that reminded him of a rabid animal. "I'm sorry, Veyar. Forgive me, but.. I'm useless to all of you in this state. I need.. to be alone. Maybe for a very long time." she informed him monotonously, then shook her head, "I don't deserve to travel with any of you for all the things I'm keeping from you anyway. Just go."

Behind all of them, Odeen walked over in total silence, having awoken at Karst's screamed threats to Iris. He'd been too horrified by what he'd seen to move until now.

Little puss finally cracked her nut, eh? I was wondering when that was gonna happen.. Corshanx commented almost humorously in the reptile's mind. His left eye twitched a little, but other than that he stayed still, watching Karst. He wanted to help her, but had no idea how. When he heard Adeth, though, he moved. Slowly, Odeen came to Adeth and helped him up, but didn't say a word.

Serena looked at Karst and laughed. "A threat? I don't think so. You're fine, Karst, just a little crazy. Maybe even a lot crazy, but so am I. You're standing in the presence of the one person in the world who knows what its like to be a constant threat to those she loves. Besides, we're tough boys and girls: we can tie you up if it happens again." Her expression became more serious. "No point thinking like that. Things change, Karst. They always do. You don't have to worry."

She threw her hands up in the air, disgusted with herself. "Gods... I'm becoming such a motherly monster! I need to go kill something." her words were perhaps further proof of her claim to insanity. She trudged off, skirts whipping around her legs.

Mira looked at Karst. "I still like you," she told the khajiit, looking worried. "You didn't try and hurt me, even though I spelled you. Besides, I know plenty of different kinds of happy spells. You'll be alright. Magic fixes everything." She nodded to her own words, clearly thinking she was being very wise.

Adeth shivered as Odeen helped him up. His stance was that of a man soon to have his legs fail under him. Confused though, he looked at his blue-ish hands and begain feeling cold. 'goddamit.' He cursed and started rubbing his hands together to generate more heat. Then jumping around, he noticed it wasn't him the others were worried about but...Karst? In his mind, Adeth cursed his own stupidity not thinking anything about Karst. No room for that yet, he was still in a frozen state. Had he fallen asleep? He didn't know.

Taking a few uncertain steps towards the people and Karst, he both shivered and looked a little blue from the cold. 'W...what's going on?' He asked but it'd be hard to understand due to the clattering of his teeth.

Vivian let go of the sword at the same time as Karst, letting it fall to the ground and ignoring the pain in his hand. When she began to speak, he stepped back; this was not his domain, as he knew that in truth, both he AND Karst were deadly to the group, with the Brotherhood behind them. His mouth quirked into a smile at Serena's proclamation of becoming a motherly monster, finding it amusing. But it was damped by her negativity towards what he deemed a highly required action.

He wasn't surprised though; sometime last night he'd resigned himself to the idea that Serena was going to send a lot of negativity his way in the coming weeks. His only fear was that his sacrifice of even a friendship with Serena in order to stay with Mia would be fruitless. Thinking of Mia brought him back to healing, and he looked at his hand. A single line of crimson ran across his palm, the cloth wrapping cut and falling away into the snow to leave his hand bare in many places. He looked at the ground, picked up Mia's dagger, and handed it to her.

Iris rose one eyebrow at Serena's retreating form, perplexed. While she was in agreement Vivian's action was not the smartest, she still found it touching and far from idiotic, just not well thought out. Serena's change of tune towards Vivian was interesting, but she stopped thinking about it after Karst spoke.

It had to be the biggest frown she had ever worn on her face as she came up to Karst and knelt in the snow. She picked up Karst's sword hand with her own, gripping it firmly.

"Karst... I'm the one who wrestled you to the ground when you tried to kill yourself. I'm the one who helped you when I could with your problems with Veyar. What makes you think I'm going to allow you to do this?" She asked sincerely, before cracking a small smile. "Instead, I'm going to drag you myself to Cloud Ruler. There, I'm cooking you a good, hearty meal, you are eating everything on your plate, and then you are going to sleep until I feel you've rested enough." Iris' smile widened.

"And I'll have not buts about it."

Instead of the perk in demeanor that one would expect from such a show of support from the girls of the party, Karst's ears flattened and she adopted an almost pleading look. She turned her gaze to Miranie, then Iris, and smiled bleakly for a moment before shaking her head.

"I.. I appreciate the gesture, guys, I really do. I love you for what you've done for me, but.. you have to understand why I don't think I should be here. When I say I'm a threat to all of you, I don't just mean individually. It's.. hard to explain and none of you would ever believe the truth if you heard it, but you have to believe me when I say that it'd be in your best interests to get rid of me. It's not something I want to do, it's something I feel I need to do to protect you all from me."

The small Khajiit sighed as she realized how insane this must sound. "If.. if you try to take me with you by force, I'm not gonna fight you but.. I beg you; please reconsider." she begged, looking at Iris with sorrowful, pleading eyes. "It's for your own good."

"Karst, what are you talking about? How could you be a threat to us on a greater than individual basis?" Veyar asked, and Karst just sighed and shook her head.

"I'm.. not normal. I don't know who I am or, for that matter, what I am as things stand right now. Considering what I just did, and knowing what I've done in the past by sheer accident.. You're all in danger by just being near me."

Veyar groaned and sighed simultaneously. "I don't understand what you mean." he said, sounding like he'd really like to understand. Karst shook her head again.

"There's no way I could tell you that would make logical sense." she admitted, "You've.. just got to take my word for it. All of you."

OOC: Unless I'm missing something, Serena hasn't changed her tune. She was always rude to Vivian. She's just making an effort not to be depressed now. :P
IC:

Serena wandered through the forests, misreable. She'd managed to keep her act up; forced herself to be her usual angry, blunt self. She imagined she'd fooled the others, which was all well-enough. But she was still thoroughly depressed.

She didn't consider for even a moment that anyone would think she had 'changed her tune' so to speak- afterall, she'd been nothing but rude to Vivian, except for when they'd had private talks. Really, she had just been being herself- or pretending to be. She hadn't been trying to be nasty to him at all, nor had she noticed any change in her usual manner. It wasn't meant as a biting comment: she just thought it was stupid.

I don't want to see him hurting himself to no purpose... she thought. She kicked a pine-cone. It flew through the air and then caught fire, disintegrating into ash in the air. Is that so strange?

But of course it was. Had it been anyone but Vivian, she would have just laughed at them. Because it was him, she cared. She reacted. And as ever, her reactions made her look like the bad guy- set her apart.

It was just as well, though. She had to be set apart. For had she known Vivian's thoughts, she would have to agree. She would by no means be nasty to Vivian- no more so than she would have been had they even started dating. But she would keep away from him: being near to him, especially knowing that he didn't want her- would be more than she could handle. They could never have a friendship.

And she would just have to get over it.

She saw a deer in the distance. Her flame-tattooed arm lit up, the marks glowing like embers, before she fired a massive flame orb at it. The deer started, but could barely start running before the fireball arced towards it and exploded against its side, roasting it thoroughly.

Feeling a little better, Serena headed back towards the group.

Its time that Mia had a go at making Karst stop being the way she is :P maybe at her own expense


Hearing Karst like this, Mia could not help but remember what she had done.. Mia had caused much damage at the Cheydinhal gate, and couldn't help but feel responsible for making the Khajiit the way she as because of her actions. Mia, being what she was, knew she as a threat to the entire group because of what she was. How would she know that she might accidently allow daedra to know where the group was, or tear the group apart if they ever found out about them.

Whether Karst liked it or not, Mia was in the same boat, but unlike karst, the group wouldn't be as understanding, or try to help her if those that didn't know who she really was found out she was the Seducer at the gate.

With all these thoughts swirling in her mind, Mia stood up and walked over to Karst. without another thought, Mia slapped the Khajiit hard across the face and looked the Khajiit in the eye, her eyes turning dark. "Do you think for a second that you are not the only one that is not normal? Or have you forgotten? Look at me?! Don't you think i don't have the same thoughts every time i look at the others here? don't you think that i never feel the same things every time i remember things that have happened to me in my life?

"And look at where i am. I am doing fine karst, and you will too. but for now stop being so selfish, and thinking that no one here cares about you. unlike me, they wont try to kill you if they knew what had happened."

With that said Mia stood up again, and turned walking away from the khajiit, her eyes still a darkened colour. she never stopped to look at anyone else, just kept walking.

Iris blinked. Mia had gone from innocent to upstart snappy in under a second, something Iris had no idea Mia could even do. Her words worried her though, and made her think. As she moved towards Raven, motioning for Mira to follow, she thought on those words.

Did her kidnapping affect her that much? Or... was she referring to the strange amount of magical power I feel from her? I know she's different, but how and why that relates to Karst is the question. The potential locked away in her... Could she be Daedric?

No. Mia couldn't possibly be. Just look at her. Every time I think she might be she never seems the type to be. This is the closest to a Daedric display I have ever seen from her. She can't be.
Iris snapped from her thoughts as she held a hand out to help Mira up if she still wanted to ride.
-----------------------------
Unlike Iris, who was less in the know, Vivian knew exactly what Mia was talking about, and cringed at those words. It was not the smartest of moves on her part, as now she was likely to garner suspicion from those few who were ignorant of her.... condition.

Vivian sighed, sitting on one of the rocks jutting from the snowy hill. He had just finished unwrapping the cloth that had covered his left hand and forearm, and torn off the sections cut by the Daedric blade. Now, he was beginning to wrap that arm again, this time the cloth beginning on his palm, directly over the cut. When he was finished, he intended to make his way to Cloud Ruler.

With or without the group. This was getting tiring.

Karst took the slap and cracked her neck as she reset her head's position to the way it was before. She listened to Mia, or perhaps it was Demona, tell her off for being selfish and thinking that nobody liked her. When she was done, the Khajiiti sighed and closed her eyes, exasperated.

You don't understand. I'm not doing this out of selfishness. Selfishness would be staying here and risking their lives. she thought, shaking her head, I guess if I'm wanted that badly, though..

"She's right, you know." Veyar cut her away from her thoughts, "You're not the only one who's shunned by society for some reason or another."

"Please, shut up Veyar. You're not helping." Karst dismissed him irritably as she stood and grabbed her sword, sticking it back in the sheathing clip attached to her belt. Veyar cringed slightly. Karst walked over to Iris and Mira and, as she did so, smiled a little on the inside despite being unable to make herself to so externally, I'm so lucky to have such good friends.. even if some of what they said didn't help, they meant well and that's what counts. She yawned widely and let out a small grunt at the action. I just woke up and I'm as tired as if I hadn't slept at all. I.. kinda wish I actually hadn't.

Upon arrival at Mira and Iris's position, she pulled them both into a hug. "Thanks for believing in me, you two. I'll try not to let you down." she told them quietly and appreciatively. She'd have to thank Serena for her input as well when she saw her next, since it'd helped and made her smile a little inside.
_______
When Zant saw Karst, Mia and Vivian were moving and Iris and Mira were mounting up to move, he got up. He was still trying to make sense of everything he'd heard Karst say, and now Mia's words confused him as well. He sighed heavily and readjusted his equipment with a shrug of his shoulders before plodding through the snow with the rest of the group.

"Why can't life just be simple and straightforward, dammit?" he asked nobody in particular.
_______
Odeen was the only one who heard Adeth's question and, seeing as he didn't know himself, couldn't really answer. He told him this just so the man would know he wasn't being ignored.

"I.. really don't know. Karst's having a hard time with some things and I think it's getting to her." he told Adeth, then walked off. He watched Karst hug Mira and Iris and wondered what she meant by saying she 'didn't know what she was right now'.

Maybe it's metaphorical and referring to her becoming an assassin, but.. what if it's not? It's not like she's a Daedra, though, right? So what did she mean if it wasn't related to the Brotherhood?


Oh, stop that sentimental worrying crap. You know, if I was you, I'd reap what I could out of this. Corshanx butted into his thoughts.

"What? What do you mean?" Odeen asked, aloud on accident. Luckily, it was quiet enough almost nobody would hear it.

Think about it kid, you're a guy, a virgin one at that, and she's a girl, a foxy one at that, and lonely to boot. And she likes you! C'mon, with a little effort I think you could benefit greatly from this whole situation. the Dunmer spirit suggested. Odeen narrowed his eyes a little, becoming upset that Corshanx was basically suggesting he exploit Karst's distress for his own benefit.

I.. I'd never. She's my friend and I'm not going to take advantage of her. I'm not like you.. Odeen thought back, sounding offended.

Fine, whatever. You're so morally strangled. Corshanx sighed.

Paulus watched, as he always did. He was good at watching and waiting, and waited for this whole turmoil to unfold. Finally, the whole scene was over, it wasnt the most exciting thing ever, he had seen men go crazy in Cheydinhal, thinking they where the only sane person in the world, before finally going berzerk, first attacking the Preist's who had been trying to soothe the man, before he and another would have to hold him down, before he went on a slaughter fest. If that failed, they would have had to kill him then and their.

This wasnt an event like that.

He approached Vivian, and voiced what he was thinking.

"So, why is the group going to Bruma, and why Cloud Ruler?"

Mia walked for a while longer and waited for herself to calm down. Soon her eyes returned to their silver colour, and she turned around to try and find Vivian, or at least someone else in the group. They had to reach cloud ruler soon, as she knew the importance of this book, just by having it close to her.

Mia was tempted again and again to open the book and read it, as what could it possibly do to her? She was a daedra, and it was daedric magic what was being felt from those pages. What cold one little peek do? But as she was thinking this she stopped. There was no point in making enemies by making the others realise who she really was, and she had already done so with what she had done a few minutes ago, and so Mia put the book back into her back and returned to the group again and waited for Vivian to start walking in the direction of Bruma and Cloud ruler before following suit.

Vivian had begun to walk north as Paulus approached, and stopped to both look to see if the others were coming and answer the man's question. "Cloud Ruler Temple is the fortress of the Blades. Within that fortress currently rests Martin, the heir to the Septim throne. We have something for him he might like to inspect." Vivian turned to see Mia returning from her trudging away from the group. He glanced back at Paulus. "Didn't you know we worked for the blades?"

However, as Mia approached Vivian moved towards her, not awaiting an answer from Paulus. He put his right hand -the one not bloody- on her shoulder. His left hand presented her the dagger he'd taken last night, and tried to give back earlier but she had not taken. "Are you under control again?"

Adeth had also started to walk towards Bruma. A bit stiffly though due to him being chilled to the bone. He was shaking and his teeth clattered irritably. His neck was stiff from the position he had slept in and so his head was partly locked to stare to his front. He was looking in Mia and Vivian's direction with a bit of a jealous expression. He was still bothered because of her. What she was, what she did to him. The oblivion gates.

Adeth shook his head slowly as much as he could with his neck. The thoughts weren't rational. Did he love her or hate her? There seemed to be something else in it aswell. Fear.

He turned towards the others in the back. 'Could we all start mo-moving now?' He said through his teeth clattering.

When Vivian turned and spoke to Mia, she looked away for a moment. "If you meant that i am calm again.. then yes.." Mia said quietly and took the dagger that Vivian held out to her. "Im sorry.. i just couldn't stand it any longer.. Sure Karst has it bad.. but at least she is you know.." Mia couldn't say the last word, it just hurt her so much. Unlike Karst, Mia was not mortal. "I don't think that Iris or the others would be trying to comfort me the same way as they did Karst if they knew the truth.. Sometimes i wish.." Mia moved a hand; one that was not holding the dagger, along her back just as she had in her dream.

"Sometimes i just wish i could tell everyone.. I have been living a lie for the past ten years of my life Vivian.. what good a person am i if i continue to try and live it?"

"Then you are a strong person, Mia. Because for all I am concerned, you haven't been living the lie. Demona has been." Vivian replied, squeezing her shoulder. "You and her are two different women in the same body. The life you have lived for over ten years has been your life, and her lie."

"Could we start mo-moving now?" Adeth asked with teeth pvssyring from afar. Vivian stepped away from Mia, and gave a bow, his arm sweeping forward towards Bruma.

"Forge on, leader. Forge on." He said, a small grin on his face. It had been very tempting to add a sarcastic 'mighty' but that would be pushing it.

Mia looked at Vivian again for a moment, and nodded slowly. "I.. I think i understand what you are trying to say Vivian.." the girl said and smiled as he walked off bowing to Adeth, making Mia laugh a little at the sight. Maybe.. just maybe he is right, and the others would think that as well.. Mia thought to herself as she headed back to her horse. "You're right.. i think the old man will be worried sick by now.. we haven't been exactly back as soon as expected" The breton girl said as she climbed up onto the mare and made herself comfortable.

Tim stared at the food coming in the bakers window, he could only imagine what it tasted like, he digged into his pockets and tried to find a couple of septims, the bakers' was doing a special offer on bread, it was Tim's only chance at getting this months loaf. He felt a rush of exhilaration as he pulled out his last few septims, he ran into the bakers and quickly joined the queue eager to get the bread before anyone else, afterall, he was going to live off this bread. He would die to protect it, keep it away from from his friends and enemies.

ooc: I'm really looking forward to how Tim is gonna find the group, Uglius. ^_^

Also, no reaction from the kitty hug, Iris and Miranie? :(

ic: As they approached Bruma, Karst was lagging behind a bit, holding a single septim in her previously injured hand and staring at it intently.

C'mon, move, explode, do something dammit! she thought in frustration. She knew her mom had the gift, and so had all the female Zeterras before, but Karst couldn't seem to put hers to use. After another couple minutes, she gave up. I can't even move a [censored] coin.. I'm a disgrace to the family.

Zant came up behind her just as she growled at the coin an clenched her fist shut around it, letting out a sigh in a puff of mist. "Whatcha got there?"

"Stupid coin." she muttered.

"Stupid? What's wrong with it?"

"Won't move." she replied, her voice informatively deadpan and obviously annoyed. Zant laughed.

"Is it supposed to?"

Karst sighed again. "I'm trying to use whatever inherited powers I've got to move it, as practice. I wanna be able to use my abilities; I think I might need them. It.. I don't know how to do it, though. I've tried imagining it moving, willing it to move, all sorts of things. Damn thing won't budge." Karst shivered a little and pulled her coat closer around herself. After a moment, she let off a series of sneezes and sighed miserably. "And to make things worse, I think I'm getting sick. Mom's pendant doesn't protect from pneumonia and colds I don't think. Just serious diseases. I'll have to see if Odeen'll let me use his alchemy gear to make myself some medicine."

Zan'Tarre made a thoughtful sound at all of this and began taking off his cuirass. Karst looked over at him as he did so, puzzled. When he was done, he stuffed the iron plating into his already overflowing shoulderbag. Karst finally had to ask.

"What'd you take your armor off for? Uncomfortable?"

The larger Khajiit shook his head and stepped up next to her, pulling her into as good a hug was was possible while walking. "No, so I could hug you to keep you warm." Karst purred softly as she was embraced and returned the gesture, shivering in her sibling's arms. Zant rubbed her shoulders and channeled a very weak fire spell into her body, mostly sending it into her chest and torso where her vitals were. She slowly stopped shivering and closed her eyes. "I don't know what happened to you that made you lose it, but I'm willing to help however I can."

"I can't tell you, really. I.. It's complicated and dangerous and there's not much you can do besides just comfort me." Karst said softly, enjoying the magickal warmth surging into her chest and guts. Zant sighed audibly and Karst could feel his annoyance. "I'm sorry.." she added in response.

Zant pulled her head closer and rubbed her hair affectionately. "No, it's okay, sis. I just.. If someone's threatening you or something.. I can take care of them, you know?"

"No, you can't." Karst's voice was soft and resigned. "There's hundreds, maybe thousands of them. They live in every province of Tamriel. Unless one of their figureheads can be killed, it's hopeless." And as far as I know, Sithis doesn't have a body, the Night Mother is a mystery and even if they were killable, they'd be heavily guarded. I wonder if there's anywhere safe from the Brotherhood's ears and eyes where I could tell the group?

"Well.." Zant's voice snapped Karst from her thoughts, "I'm willing to help if you know where said heads are."

"I.. I don't. And don't talk so loud. They could be listening." Karst whispered urgently.

"Out here? You're kidding right?"

"No, I'm not. It's a damn nightmare. The bastards are everywhere and nowhere.." she hissed back. Zant was beginning to wonder if these 'people' were just in her head. After all, she had shown signs of being highly delusional lately. He decided to go along with her for now, though.

"Okay, calm down, sis. I think what you need right now is a hot meal and cup of tea and a good, long nap, though." Karst nodded into Zant's chest and purred a little louder for a moment at the thought of good, hot food and tea in her stomach and a soft, warm bed next to a fire.

"Sounds like heaven.." she whispered longingly.

ooc: just making a intro post, to get myself started up :D

Are you afraid of Nightmares...? Do you fear what lurks behind the veils of time, behind each action that carries an infinity of consequences... Every day is like your last and should be lived as such. You seem to not respect your life as it is. Its like you need a wake up call young one.. you need to see what your wasting away. At night, laying everything in sight, during the day travelling around doing nothing but that... Its time for you to live... The young male khajiit shot up as cold water was splashed on him, going overly pale with a slight growl. He looked up wearily at his current house mate with a glare. "Why did you have to do that?" he was soaked in water.

"You need to get up its like almost past breakfast." the other male khajiit smirked poking him with his shoe. "Now getup!"
Do'Rhadi got up with a growl and stretched, getting his clothes on and headed to the kitchen. He sat down to a rather fine meal of meat and some fruit. "Thanks Radjin" he smiled and stood up "I will be out of here in a few hours."

The warmth in the bakery made the wait almost pleasant, he knew people were watching him, with disgust or remorse, it didn't really matter, either way, they were watching him. He felt like turning around and going 'boo' or something but knew he'd probably get thrown out, and he couldn't risk it, not now, he was finally served, the baker glared at Tim, remembering the urchin that had been sleeping in his alley. "What do you want now boy?" He asked, disgruntled that he had to serve someone like Tim. "Bread, wholemeal please, one of the loafs on sale?" Tim asked, the baker perked up and his face took an expression of surprise.
"Ofcourse." He stated curiously as the large man pulled up a large brown bag, once the transaction had been made, the bread was now in Tim's hands, it was still warm, smelt delicious and it tasted so good, Tim almost cried. He covered it with his shirt so no one would be able to see it and quickly made his way towards the castle walls, he was safe to sit there and try to figure out where to hide it, sadly, it was also the highest point in the town and the cold was bitter.

(hope you guys haven't died...yet :P Im resurrecting this... damn me and my laziness, eh?)

The sun had climbed a bit higher as the group reached the gates to Bruma. The air was rather cool but not cold, but there was a little bit of a sharp wind as they walked higher on the hill. Adeth himself had his cloak wrapped tighty around him and his teeth were clattering from cold. He sneezed loudly at times and coughed. Just a bit of cold due to his night slept in the snow and being totally out of it.

Adeth looked back at Jade who was worriedly walking beside him, but the two of them said nothing since atleast Adeth lacked words and wouldn't be able to talk without shivering. Jade on the other hand just didn't know what to say so the two of them just walked.

(Damn. What a lousy post :P Come back you guys...)

OOC: This might be a more effective time skip, Adeth, so in interest of the rp here we go.

IC: After nearly an hour of walking in the cold, the group stood before the massive gates of Cloud Ruler Temple. The wood and iron doors stood like giants over them, and gave a promise of protection, warmth, and food to those who looked up them. But Vivian knew the sense of protection was false. If the Daedra were to launch an attack on the Temple... it would not survive.

"Hail!" Vivian was in front of the group along with Iris, and both looked up to see an armored hand held out towards them from the rampart above the doors. Apparently, the Blades had not forgotten what many of their ragtag-group workhorses looked like. Iris waved back with a smile before the doors creaked open. A Blade was pushing each door, before they were open and the Blades stood beside their door and watched the group enter.

The procession was stopped, however, when a blade was drawn, and the edge hovered over Serena's throat. "You..."

"What are you doing, she's in the group?" Snapped the other Blade, moving forward.

"I don't recall her, but I do recall what Baurus told us about the Mythic Dawn. The sign's right here on her shoulder. She's one of them."

EDIT: Oh crickey I completely forgot about that! Bugger.... hmm... anyone wanna volunteer to ditch dealing with the Blades and take a supplies shop in Bruma? :P
