Sadril
Sadril nodded back to Rann, "Glad to see you're still alive," he noted as he walked past Rann and dove into the group of people before him. Sadril lifted his head up high and took a great breath through his nose. "Alright. who are the vampires?" he called out to the group.
"I smell three," he added more quietly. They're fledgling, still. Two haven't been dead for long. One is much older...

OOC: three? Ian, Aerona and....?
Aerona
"Me," she said softly in answer to Sadril's question, not wanting to be heard by the guard and denied entrance to the city.

OOC: tenek.
Sadril
Sadril, hearing a female answer his call, stepped swiftly to put himself in front of the owner of the voice. Seeing she was a Dunmer only provoked him more to kneel before her, take her hand and kiss it. "Sadril," he smiled, showing the tip of his fangs, "And you are?"
Sure it was a bit over the top, but the buzz of battle hanging in the air got Sadril excited and in a over-the-top mood.
OOC: are they in the IC, or still outside the gate?

OOC: outside the gate; arastrus has to come let 'em all in.
Aerona
After Sadril kneeled in front of her and kissed her hand, she glanced around quickly to see if anyone was looking. Unfortunately, it seemed that they were.
"Aerona..." she answered, retrieving her hand as quickly as she could without toally offending the strange vampire. Vampires still scared her quite a bit, despite her being one; she still hadn't quite grasped the reality of it all.

Commander Astratus
Following the Bosmer messenger to the gate, Astratus nodded in attention to the guard at his post. "Do they seem like they are the type to help?" Commander Astratus asked the guard at his post.
After a short conversation with the guard, Commander Astratus nodded and watched as the gate slowly opened. He gazed for the first time at the people outside the gate. Commander Astratus immediately felt uncomfortable standing alone in front of the crowd of people. Motioning for two guards to his side, Commander Astratus strolled briskly to the front of the collective group.
"My Name is Vercius Astratus, and I command this army you see here. I trust you all have seen the petitions for "glorious heroes" or "unlimited gold" that have been circulating throughout our march. I'm sorry to say that we have no money for you, who's to say that you won't be dead tommorrow," Astratus stopped, noticing the vampires, gave a sudden shiver, and then continued, "Or prisoner to the snakemen?"
Pausing, Astratus pondered over all the people assembled in front of him. What struck him most was the fact that these people seemed like everyday people. Astratus continued, "What has befallen us now is no longer a small threat to a province or city, this is an army bred for annihilation! You must think that the Imperial City is a safe point for all refugees, but you are mistaken, the City is just a buffer to allow the most refugees to escape westward or northward. The city is populated by less than one hundred non-soldier types. They are well aware of the risk of death and they have accepted that. We can accomodate you, but there are no gaurantees on food or water. It is a sullen thing, waiting for death to rear its ugly head, and the sand in the hourglass taunts you with every falling of it."
Astratus produced the flask from earlier and drained the contents. Wiping his face and straightening his jerkin, Astratus cleared his throat and said, "Welcome to the Imperial City, make yourselves at home. If you wish to fight, submit your name and "skillset" to either one of my Brigadier Generals." And with that Astratus turned around and walked back into the City.

Ian
When Sadril kissed Aerona, Ian crossed his arms and gave the Dunmer vampire a look that wasn't definitely any emotion, but spoke of disapproval. "Sadril," he said simply. "I'm the second."
Slowly, he raised on hand and pulled the piece of cloth off, seeing as the less subtle vampire strains were here as well. He turned to Astratus, "And the commander and I have already met."
Sadril
Sadril listened to the commander's monologue, and noted his reaction when his eyes crossed any of vampires in the group. Then when Ian spoke up, he turned to him. "And you, another one who has not been dead for very long."
He leaned in closer, "How do you like it?"

Ian
Turning back to Sadril, he replied. "Vampirism has its advantages, but it isn't without its curses." Yes, I'm having to get used to a lot. Ian shrugged slightly, "It's not too different from any other change that can happen to someone."
"My kind is not yours Sadril," he reminded, reffering to their different bloodlines.
Tenek, catching up
Not too far upwind from them, a figure brushed off most of the dirt from his clothes. "Note to self, never wake up snakemen when being chased by animals." Tenek muttured to himself.
Striding up to the people by the gates to the Imperial City, Tenek recognized the group he'd encoutered earlier. However, he kept his mouth shut seeing as a bunch of soldiers were nearby. Approaching the Argonian from earlier, he handed over the shredded remains of the bag he'd taken.
"Erm, the meat didn't survive.... Let's keep it at that." He muttured, If the next two bags I steal don't have gold in them I'm going to be out of my mind!
Sadril
Sadril sneered, "I could tell that long before I saw you." He then turned from Ian, and, purely on a hunch, moved behind the nearest Inn away from the watch of the military men.
Veric
Veric stood and looked Amrita over as the hall around them returned to what he recognized as his personal dining hall. A unimaginably long wooden table grew from the floor, and the room became lively decorated.
Veric showed Amrita to a mirror room containing only one mirror enchanted to take a person to a predetermined place, an idea not completely his own. "There will be a large scale battle at the Imperial City very soon. Step through this mirror to get there. Otherwise do what you will," he instructed as he stepped through the mirror.
Veric quite literally stepped out of thin air and into the very same back alley Sadril had wondered to.
"Thought I'd find you here," the vampire said to Veric, who only after a second masked himself and his presence as Altair, the Altmeri politician.
"What's the situation?" Veric asked, brushing a non-existant speck of dust from his shoulder.
"Makeshift army in here. Snake army out there."
"Where is Rann?"
Sadril shrugged...

Veric
"She's smart too," Veric said to himself. "Don't think of it as a test more than an initiation," he answered as the water level reached their chests. "It's less of a chance to see what you can do as a chance to experience what you can do," the Breton continued as the water parted from center of the room and disappeared into the walls.
"And I apologize for any confusion."

Ian
Watching Sadril dissappear for a few moments, Ian also split off from the group. He made his way to the Temple District, taking a faster route through Green Emporer Way. As he navigated through the tents of the army, Ian spotted a familiar mer in black armor.
Karn
No sooner had the agent spotted him that the Dunmer met his gaze. Ian's appearance caused a bit of inner conflict within Karn. He still had a score to settle with the Imperial, but personal vandettas were unbecoming of leaders.
Slowly, he set down his mug and began walking out of the cluster of tents, knowing Ian would follow. When the Imperial met him in the Southeastern graveyard, Karn spoke first. "So, it seems fate is rather insistant, wouldn't you agree?"
Ian nodded, glancing up at the star-filled sky. "One might imagine it wants one, or perhaps both, of us dead before it gives up." The vampire looked at him with partially narrowed eyes. "I can tell you didn't come here with the intents of fighting for the Silhouete or affecting their victory."
Karn let silence give Ian his answer, finally the Imperial spoke again. "But even if we happen to be allied, even if everything was forgiven, the road will only continue until one of us is dead."
"Yes, there must be an end to the constant struggle," he agreed. "When the Akaviri are eradicated, and if both of us survive the battle, we will put this mortal conflict to an end, once and for all."
Both enemies stood silently, the moment stretching on. Karn broke the eternity, reaching into his cloak to pull out a yellow amulet. He offered it to Ian. "This was given to me by the mage in the cave weeks ago. This amulet will allow for communication over any distance with the man. That mage is more than he appears; if he wants something out of this conflict, it would be wise to keep that something out of his grasp."
Ian inspected it sceptically. "I think it might also serve another purpose, but I have no knowledge of it."
Before the vampire could either thank Karn or give the amulet back, the Dunmer assassin turned and walked off without another word.
If that trinket is all I think it is, perhaps it will prove useful, otherwise, I'm glad to be rid of it. Karn went back to the tent to collect Patholos before returning to the Narza'Tai. The battle plans had already been drawn out, whether the Morrowind Commander liked them or not, Karn refused to position his followers in a less optimal spot.

Rann
"Well, judging by the bonemold I'm seeing everywhere, I'd say it's an army sent from Morrowind to help us out. But if you'll excuse me for a second, I'm going to go speak to my father," he said, pointing to the three approaching figures.
He excused himself from conversation with Flogir and walked over to speak wit his father.
"Fancy seeing you here," he began, "This your newest two-day lady friend?" he asked, motioning towards Brianna. He also gave Sadril a short nod, showing that he acknowledged the vampire's presence.
Rahvin
Rahvin had been about to answer Brianna, when Rann suddenly approached them, carrying along his wise remarks.
"Actually, Rann, this is your mother."
OOC: I'll give minque a chance to let Brianna say something before I start RPing with myself too much.
Brianna
She looked at the young dunmer in front of her. So this was her son, Rann...he resembled his father a lot, but had a somewhat more arrogant features, but stillthis was her son!
While looking at him the memory of the childbirth so long ago just flooded over her...she moaned faintly and gasped for breath..
Mother? what is happening?, Serene was standing beside her, shouting at Telina ; "Thereīs another one!"...Then Serene lifted a mall bluish baby out of her womb..."Help me Telina This one is nearly dead!"
I saw him! He is the only one of my babies I actually saw! Oh help me .....
"Rann?" she said silently, not knowing how to proceed, because anything she could say would be just ridiculous in this case, seeing him made the feelings just rush through her, but somehow ancient chemistry made her sense that this was her offspring, his blood was hers and she felt a sudden pride of being the one who put this man to the earth..
My son!
"Iīm Brianna..."
She looked at Rahvin for help....
OOC: No she hasnīt discovered Satyana....yet! (One child at a time, or else: brain overload!)
Green-Root.
Green-Root dropped the rags to the ground.
,,Looks like you had a good time. Too bad about the rat." He laughed.
Flint Ironwood.
,,Ah, this time I am not making a mistake. That is Brianna. Geez, doesn't anyone in that family ever age?" Flint thought and then whispered to Flogir.
,,Family reunion. I'd say we leave them alone for now. Maybe we should go meet that Brigadier General and get ourselves signed up? Not that that would do us much good. From what I've seen, we don't exactly fit in an army."

"I'm Rann, but I guess you already know that..." he said awkwardly, not knowing really what else to say.
"So..." he finally said after what seemed to him an eternity of silence, "Why don't we go in the city and talk over a drink? Besides, I guess you'd want to meet Satyana..."

"Satyana?, yes ...Iīd very much want to meet her as well, but..but, itīs kinda overwhelming this thing, I donīt know if I can handle both of you...at the same time. Iīd like to spend some time with you one at a time. Why donīt you and I start?

She stopped talking and stretched her hand out and gently touched Rannīs arm
"My son" she whispered and smiled, "Letīs go for a drink then"
She both wanted and not wanted Rahvin to accompany them, her priority now was Rann....and just Rann! Others just had to wait, her mind was in chaos, yet she felt very happy....
Tenek
"You've got that right!" He laughed with the Argonian. "Anyway, so what exactly is going on?"
Issac
He heard the woman's name was Brianna, and apparently she was Rann's mother, and therefore Satyana's as well. Issac caught the part about wanting to meet her children on at a time, so there was no reason to follow them or just sit here.
"Well, we might as well try and find an inn for the night." After all, everyone else wants us to find one.....

Rann
"Let's go then," he said, walking alongside Brianna into the city. He saw a guard patrolling the streets, and grabbed his arm to get his attention.
"Know where we can get some drinks?" he asked.
"Uh...the old Tiber Septim Hotel is popular with us guards. Their cellar was huge; there's probably something left to drink."
Rann nodded his thanks before heading towards the Talos Plaza District. The city was eerily empty;when he lived here with Sel a few years ago, it was usually bustling with energy night and day, but now it was desolate and quiet with only the footsteps of soldiers to break the silence. He wondered if Sel had evacuated...
Rahvin
Rahvin didn't follow Brianna and Rann. He figured that he had spent time with Rann for twenty years and Brianna deserved her time too.
"Rann wasn't too much trouble was he?" he asked Flogir as he walked up to speak with the nord.
OOC: was it Flogir or Ian he asked to keep an eye on Rann? I forget.
Aerona
Aerona stood there in confusion as Sadril just casually walked off without another word to her after that odd display of his.
"Who was that?" she asked anyone who might have been listening.

As Sadril exited the alley opposite from where he entered, Veric called to him, "Oh, and Sadril?"
The vampire looked over his shoulder at him as he continued, "If you get the chance, kill Karn for me, will you?" Sadril nodded and walked out of the alley, which happened to be behind the Tiber Septim hotel. Realizing his reason for being so moody, he walked off in a random direction to find something to drink.
Veric
Deciding it best to put himself somewhere where he had an excuse to be, Altair cast an invisibility spell over himself and walked lazily through the streets. He called out to Voltar, Where are you?

Flogir
"Maybe you're not fit for an army, but I served the Kvatch Garrison for years. I'm used to the military life my friend," he said to Flint. He then noticed Rahvin approaching, "I'll meet up with you later, Flint. I gotta talk to Rahvin, then sign myself up. I'm sure I'll find out which inn you guys will be staying at."
After dismissing himself from Flint he answered Rahvin's question.
"Well, he did have a few arguments with a few of our party members. But that's bound to happen under the stressful situations we were placed under. You might want to check up on how he's doing though... We had a run in with a necromancer, well the necromancer I guess you would call him. Mannimarco. He captured one of our party members so Rann took a small party to retrieve her. I think they defeated the necromancer, but they lost the captive and a youngster that decided to go with Rann," he said, summing up the journey as quickly as possible.
"Anything else you want to know about?" he inquired.
Amrita
Amrita stood in front of the mirror until Veric left the field of view. She then stepped through and found herself in the alleyway inside the Imperial City. Instinctively she became one with the shadows and peered around the corner of the alleyway. She nearly jumped as her mother walked past with a young Dunmer beside her. She noticed that the both of them had the same colour eyes.
Well well well... So that's what my brother looks like. Maybe we'll have to talk someday soon, perferably not in front of mother though. She doesn't approve of me, she thought before snickering mentally.
She began to tail the two, keeping to the shadows so as not to reveal herself.
Voltar
Volar picked up the mental message from Veric. Instantly, the stress of the earlier situation ended. He gripped the amulet in his pocket and responded.
"I'm still outside the gates of the Imperial City. It's the Lake Rumare Entrance."
Flogir

Brianna
She walked along beside her son. The Tiber Septim Hotel looked quite ok, and she sat down and let Rann order the drinks. She didnīt care what to drink, as long as it contained some alcohol, she felt she needed that...
Brianna decided to let Rann begin the talking, she wouldnīt want to seem like a fuzzy mom, she was more interested in him...as a person...her son!
She shivered, even though the room was pretty warm, she felt cold and tucked her coat tighter round her
OOC: _Yes she did, and she looks like this....now...quite a good looking woman , right?

OCC: I am almost certain it was Ian (not because he's my character), but anyway, it's fine if we play it like Flogir was to watch over Rann. As I remember, Ian said (fourth playground, I think, just after Ocato was assasinated) he had sworn (to Rahvin) not allow the younglings to come to harm if he could avert such harm.
Ian, wary
He stared at the amulet for an unmeasured amount of time before pocketing it. For once he trusted Karn was actually aiding him, or at least the group. Resuming his original course, Ian made his way to the Temple of the One, to the statue of Akatosh.
He circled the dragon god's stone form reverantly. The vampire knew that the gods existed and had done much to and for mortals, therefore respected them as powers to be reckoned with. Ian said nothing as he continued to circle it.
Sadril
Sadril wandered his way to the Temple District. He kept his eyes open for someone who would suite his tastes; generally any young beautiful female wandering about, though none were to be found in the practically deserted Imperial City. Walking through the Temple District he caught scent of Ian. Though he did not pursue the Imperial, Sadril was curious as to what he was up to.
Veric
I'll be there in a minute. Altair moved to another back alley, removed his invisibility spell, and emerged with a confused and worried look on his face. He moved quickly past the group of travelers who had barely made it through the gate and up to Voltar.
"Voltar!" he called, throwing his arms up, "Thank the Nine you are alright!"

"Voltar!" he called, throwing his arms up, "Thank the Nine you are alright!"
Voltar
"Master Altair!" he said, acknowledging the "Altmer" before walking over to him. "So you made it here before us it appears. Now we can officially say that everyone is here..." he paused, "Well, everyone who could make it."
"Have you found any lodging yet?"

Veric
Veric judged by Voltar's additional "everyone who could make it" and the lack of Kirana presence that she had been lost in their trek to the city. He considered it no large loss as he answered, "I'm sure we could find a place to stay over at the Tiber Septim."
Altair had an excuse set up for getting to the Imperial City so fast, but decided to keep to himself unless someone asked him about it.
(OOC i gotta go, you can get them to the inn if youd like.)

Rann
He 'ordered' the drinks by hunting down a few guards that helped him fill a couple of mugs. The inn had once been the epitome of a wealthy hotel, but now it was badly kept, deviod of pretty barmaids, and full of drunken guards.
"So," Rann began, staring into his mug of ale when they finally sat down, "Why'd you wait twenty years?" He didn't mean for the question to sound accusatory, but he couldn't help putting a little edge on it.
Rahvin
"No more questions here. A drink and a bit of rest would be nice though," he said, "Before we have to fight hordes of attackers."
Aerona
Feeling a bit left out now, she decided to join the conversation between the strange dunmer and Flogir.
"Where are we going to get some rest?" she asked, immmediately placing herself in the conversation.

Green-Root.
,,So, want to go to the waterfront? I know a good shack." Green-Root said to Tenek.
,,I don't want to go to that hotel, too crowded."
Flint Ironwood.
Flint said goodbye to Flogir and sought out one of the brigadier generals.
,,Flint Ironwood. Skillset is this: Winds of the heavens." He said and wandered off in search of a place to crash. The Dunmer scratched his forehead in confusion.
,,Winds of the heavens? Must be some kind of priest. We don't need undead banishers."
Flint took a random empty house as his resting place. Unlike the others, he was more in need of a good sleep than a good drink. And sleeping was impossible with a whole gang of drunken guards.

Patholos
Excusing himself from the room where Karn was planning, Patholos walked the breadth of the Inner Imperial City. The vision he was "gifted" with showed a grayscale imitation of the Imperial City. Patholos stooped to look at a flower, showing no color or hue.
Strolling down the road and looking at all the monuments, Patholos watched a vampire walk into the temple of Akatosh. Intrigued, Patholos walked in after him. Molag Bal was the patron of vampires, so what was this vampire doing in the temple of Akatosh?
Watching the vampire stare reverently at the statue, Patholos emerged from the shadows, and asked Ian, "You were a servant of Akatosh? Tell me friend, How did you come by this disease?"
Commander Astratus
Returning to the room where Karn was at work, Astratus didn't even notice that Patholos was gone. Turning to Karn, Astratus donned his son's helmet, and garbed himself in his ceremonial armor. He then strapped the giant sword, "The Cause", onto his back. He grabbed the flagstaff of the Army of Morrowind and tied it to the belt of his armor. The white ponytail on Astratus's head spilled out the back of his helmet and he untied the knot. The white hair fell loose and Astratus turned to Karn.
"I trust you, I don't know why, and my culture says against it, but I trust you just the same. There is something about imminent peril that bonds people to one another. I go out to make a rally to my men. Will you have everything prepared for your side of the battle?"
Astratus looked intently into Karn's eyes, and he grabbed Fists and Teeth, the heavy hammer that his son had made for him. Turning the hammer over in his hands he said again to Karn, "Fight hard, serjo, and may we come out victorius."
Astratus walked out of the room, and all the air of drunken swagger that usually accompanied Astratus was gone. He was solemn as stone. As he strode towards the Temple of Akatosh, Astratus told all his men to bring guards not on duty to meet at the Temple.
Grim-faced and steady, Astratus walked on through the whispers of the mercenaries in the Army. Some saying, "There goes the drunkard," or "His hangover is done, he's going back for more." A cold gaze he sent them, and some quieted, while others returned the stare.

Ian
He turned to the pale Dunmer. "No, I've never been a worshipper of any god." Ian returned his gaze to the dragon statue. "I did know the man who became this statue though."
"The gods are what they are, whether one wastes his time worshipping them is irrelevant." The vampire paced. "I do believe that the gods have a certain respect that is due to them, for they have influence and power."
"As for my vampirism, one of my allies was a vampire sensei of the place I was trained at in childhood. It was only when I returned months ago to petition their aid that he ever showed me true respect." Ian finished, speaking without regret. "I allowed for our sparring match to turn me, now the burden of that decision is mine to bear."
He paused as the sounds of boots meeting stone became audible.

Flint Ironwood.
He couldn't sleep, not with the marching feet all over the city. With a large amount of frustration, he broke into the Arcane universaty and grabbed as many restorative potions he could find.
,,You know, these things are unhealthy if overused." He mumbled as he felt his fatigue vanish and his magicka reserves fill.
With that out of the way, he chose to walk about the city, to ease his frustration. Near the temple of Akatosh, he came upon a huge crowd of soldiers. The Breton scaled a nearby wall and from there he looked out over the crowd. He had to rub his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating from the potions.
,,That's Astratus? Wow, maybe he isn't such a pure loser after all."

Tenek
"Sure, I wonder if there's anything worthwhile here." He muttured that last part more to himself. Tenek suddenly jumped forward, and completed three successive front flips before stopping to take a theatric bow, a boyish grin on his face. "Let us hasten to this shack before someone comes wanting to get my signature."
Ian
Exiting the temple with the Dunmer, he noticed Astrastus at the head of a large group of soldiers. At the refreshing sight of a very sober Astrastus he nodded respectfully.
Karn
After failing to find his lieutenant, he countinued to search for Patholos. It was then that Karn noticed the small parties of soldiers heading toward the Temple District. Curious, he hastened to follow them.

Flogir
Flogir nodded at Rahvin's answer. And then turned to Aerona.
"Well... hmmm, I'm not quite sure where we could stay..." he looked around and noticed that Voltar was talking with the reunited Altair, "Hey Voltar! Where you headin' for the night!?" he called out.
"Tiber Septim Hotel!" came the reply.
Flogir shrugged his shoulders. "Tiber Septim Hotel it is!" he said jubuliantly and began ushering the others to follow along.
Amrita
Amrita trailed Rann and Brianna to an inn. She stood outside and peered out of the window her two family members. She couldn't help but think how odd her family was. Salina had never been too forthcoming about her siblings, likely because she had only seen them as new born infants, but Amrita knew she also had a sister.
She remained outside, cloaked in the shadows as she comtemplated her next action.

Rahvin
Rahvin walked with Flogir and Aerona to the Tiber Septim Hotel.
As they entered, he immediately noticed Brianna and Rann having a chat, so he chose to leave them be. Instead, he made a gesture to another table in the other direction, inviting Aerona and Flogir to have a seat with him.
"We may as well have a drink or two before we sleep," he said, sitting down.
Aerona
Aerona sat at the same table as Rahvin, obviously ill at ease. She needed to feed, but she still felt the need to deny her newfound immortal nature. She hated feeding; it made her feel vile and wretched, not to mention disgusting.
Drinking blood? she thought te herself as a shiver of revulsion went down her spine.

Green-Root.
Green-Root led the way, through an unused and relatively clean sewer.
,,I don't want to deal with the guards." He explained.
,,You know, I'm thinking of sitting out this fight. They won't miss a single spear used by a crippled Argonian and I don't want to die. I'll just take a nap at the bottom of the lake or something. After this blows over, I'll see what I'll do next."

Tenek
"Fighting a war isn't my strongpoint.... but I guess we can't let those snakemen-things take over Tamriel either." Tenek shrugged.
"I guess I could just stab an akaviri here or there and dissappear before anyone comes to kill me." His eyes passed over Green-Root's spear. Nice, silver too..... "There might also be something valuable to be found amongst all the dead bodies..."
Green-Root.
Green-Root thought for a moment. Tenek had a point, and he knew it.
,,Well, the bridges aren't that big. Think the snakes will try to swim? If so, I'll show them how they really should use a scaly tail to fly. I'm not good on land but in water, nothing beats an Argonian with a big spear." He said and took out its spear. At his command, the smooth silver shifted into jagged Daedric.
,,And my spear being really sharp is an advantage as well."

Tenek
He gave a start when Green-Root pulled off his spear and it suddenly changed to Deadric. A smile came a across his face. "I really need to get a sword that does that!" Then he calmed himself down and replied. "And nothing can beat Bosmer in the trees, not even Khajiit."

Brianna
Brianna sighed....looked at her son and took a sip of her drink. She grimaced, ale was really not her favourite drink......
"Well Rann, I didnīt exactly wait for twenty years to find you, in fact I didnīt found out I had any children until ..not long ago..."
She stopped, apparently her mind still was a bit damaged, she couldnīt remember when she was told or even who told her. She thought it had to be Rahvin, but her memory of it was gone.
"I died when you and your sisters were born, after that I remember nothing except that my life turned out pretty comfortable...thanks to Telina Dewlvanni. Yes that woman saved my life, she took me away and cured me..donīt ask me how! I know I died, you see, I lost too much blood....I think.."
Brianna shrugged...her memory faded again...
"I remember meeting Rahvin....after that my memory sort of started coming back...Oh Rann if I had known I had children I would have searched for you long ago!...But Iīm so happy to have met you! Now please tell me how life has been for you! "
She gently touched Rannīs cheek.....
My precious son.....
Rann
"It's been...interesting to say the least," he answered, "I grew up in Chorrol with my dad. I lived here for a while too, with a dunmer named Sel, but then I left his place to live with...someone else."
He took a sip of his ale before continuing, "I really don't know what to say; I can't really summarize twenty years of life."

She smiled and studied Rannīs face..
"You resemble your father, but you have my eyes" she continued. Then she noticed the tattoo on Rannīs arm and went pale
"You bear the sign!" she gasped..." Oh may the divines have mercy!"
OOC: I havenīt the faintest idea about it but it would be cool if the tattos on the siblings were somewhat connected with the curse on them...if you object Iīll edit!
OOC: I don't really see how it could be. We've already established that Rann's is from Rahvin's bloodline and Satyana's is from an ashlander wise woman or something .I think we should just leave them as is; that way each child has a special power. Rann with his tattoo, Satyana with hers, and Amrita with shadow-walking.
Rann
"It's from my dad's bloodline," he said about the tattoo, hoping to explain away Brianna's unexplained fear, "He has the same exact thing if you look closely. He tries to hid it a bit more than I do."
He looked at his own marking, suddenly remembering that it had been growing. It had stopped now, to his relief; he supposed it was because he had released all of the magicka he'd absorbed.

Issac
"Well, the closest inn to us is the Tiber Septim." He finally answered himself. "Might as well go there anyway, it's where everyone else is."
As he had expected the highest-standard tavern in the Imperial City wasn't so grand after being a bandoned for gods know how many weeks. Still it wasn't as bad as some places Issac had been to before.
Flogir
Flogir pulled up a chair beside Rahvin and looked around. The hotel itself was quite bare and perhaps a little dusty from it being underused for the last few weeks. Other than that, it still seemed comfortable enough.
He took a sip from his ordered ale. He sighed in satisfaction as the brew hit his stomach.
"I definitely needed this after going through what I've been through the last few weeks," he said reflectively. His pleased expression soured a bit. "Of course, it'll be short-lived knowing that that army is basically right on our doorstep. I plan to enlist and help out this army too. My thinking is that if the Imperial City falls, the smaller cites don't stand a chance... You'd think they would make some changes after the Oblivion Crisis. You'd think they would realize that we need a stronger unified military instead of all these private garrisons. Because when you think about it, all the Counts and Countesses are under the Imperial Council. The Imperial Guard should outnumber a private garrison in each city!" Flogir uttered in frustration.
He then realized that perhaps he went a little overboard and look apologetically to the others.
"Sorry 'bout that," his attention turned specifically to Rahvin, "Looks like you've been busy yourself. You brought some extra company along and I wouldn't mind hearing about how that came to pass."
Voltar
Voltar held the door to allow Altair to enter. Voltar followed behind him and surveyed the bar.
Rann and his mother were at a table of their own, having an intimate conversation it appeared. Flogir, Aerona and the newly met, Rahvin sat at a separate table. Voltar also sensed another presense outside the hotel but when he looked, he saw nothing. He also didn't detect an invisibility spell either.
Odd... I might keep on 'eye' on that, he thought as he turned to Altair.
"So, where shall we sit?" he asked, waving him hand across the room.

Commander Astratus
Amassed were nearly half of the soldiers in the army, and nearly half of those in undergarments. The respect held for Astratus was somewhat jealously inspiring to others. Very few people could boast to have fought beside the Nerevarine, but Astratus never boasted.
"Men, ...., Brothers, I called you here in hopes of relaying an important message to you. In all my years of warmongering, I have never came upon a foe such as this. We are the stone that the mason's count on when they forge and empire, we are the rock which breaks the tidal wave, we are the foundation to which the very survival of humanity depends on!"
Astratus waited for his words to sink in, then he began again. "Brothers, we all know that death is inevitable. No being lives forever, and yet, by our courageous efforts, this battle will live on in the annals of history. If fate conspires against us, and the snakemen succeed, they will forever know the fear that was put into them by the Army of Morrowind!"
Astratus paused, then began to walk amongst the troops. "I am not gifted with superior intelligence, amazing prowess on the battlefield, hell, I'm not even as strong as some of those bastarde Nords over there!" With that, laughter ensued, and the Nords Astratus was pointing at had just joined the Army before the Army left Vvadenfell.
"Heed me, Men and Women of the Empire. Blood and bone and steel will mix in this battle, and I will be at the forefront with you! When death approaches, laugh at it, and travel to your heaven with fire in your blood! We will not falter, brothers, and we will never give in!"
Astratus held his banner high, donned his son's helmet, and yelled, "HELL FROM RED MOUNTAIN!"
The chant was echoed throughout the city, and it faded into the countryside.
Amassed were nearly half of the soldiers in the army, and nearly half of those in undergarments. The respect held for Astratus was somewhat jealously inspiring to others. Very few people could boast to have fought beside the Nerevarine, but Astratus never boasted.
"Men, ...., Brothers, I called you here in hopes of relaying an important message to you. In all my years of warmongering, I have never came upon a foe such as this. We are the stone that the mason's count on when they forge and empire, we are the rock which breaks the tidal wave, we are the foundation to which the very survival of humanity depends on!"
Astratus waited for his words to sink in, then he began again. "Brothers, we all know that death is inevitable. No being lives forever, and yet, by our courageous efforts, this battle will live on in the annals of history. If fate conspires against us, and the snakemen succeed, they will forever know the fear that was put into them by the Army of Morrowind!"
Astratus paused, then began to walk amongst the troops. "I am not gifted with superior intelligence, amazing prowess on the battlefield, hell, I'm not even as strong as some of those bastarde Nords over there!" With that, laughter ensued, and the Nords Astratus was pointing at had just joined the Army before the Army left Vvadenfell.
"Heed me, Men and Women of the Empire. Blood and bone and steel will mix in this battle, and I will be at the forefront with you! When death approaches, laugh at it, and travel to your heaven with fire in your blood! We will not falter, brothers, and we will never give in!"

Ian
He didn't take part in the chant that followed the Astratus' speech, after a minute Ian departed. The vampire didn't know what he was searching for, but he could always just say he was trying to find something to feed on.
Issac
He and Satyana sat down in one of the few vacant tables not too far from where Rann and Brianna were talking. As Issac sat, he realized that the Imperial City would probably be lacking in foods better than the rations that the Morrowind Army had brought with them.
Oh well, there are people that eat like this regularly. He thought to himself.

Brianna
"In fact I donīt know! But I can guess....since she looks more...nordic...I wonder....."
Is it possible? Is it really possible? But what can I say? I donīt remember!
"Iīd like to meet her, and her Altmer, please Rann, tell them to join us! And whereīs Rahvin? Maybe....."
Rann
Rann saw Satyana and Issac walk in and sit down.
"Let me get 'em over here," he said to his mother before he got their attention by waving before motioning for them to join him and Brianna.
OOC: sorry I've been a little absent lately.
OCC: As long as the reply comes it doesn't really matter.......
Issac
When he noticed Rann wave and motion them to come over, he nodded. Issac sat one seat down from Rann, letting Satyana sit beside her brother.
Veric
Altair nodded to a table off to the side. They moved under the attention drawn by Commander Astratus' speech and sat at the secluded table.
"So," Altair said in a lower tone slightly resembling Veric's, "My apologies for leaving so unannounced. What have I missed?"

Voltar
Voltar grabbed a bottle of wine and some glasses as they went to the table. Given the fact that most residents abandoned the Imperial City, the hotel basically seemed to run on a self-serve program. He sat down and poured the two glasses full.
He took a sip of his wine to give himself time to ponder on Veric's question.
"Well," he said, continuing his low tone, "It appears Rann suffered a couple of losses on his quest to get Kirana back from the necromancer. Both Kirana and that youngster, Soldin I believe his name was, did not return. Since Rann's mood isn't very dark, I'd say that the necromancer was defeated as well, though as to how escapes me. Rann has some interesting gifts, but he hasn't tapped his potential nearly well enough to defeat a necromancer of Mannimarco's ability. The necromancer must've been careless or over-confident."
He paused to have another sip of wine. "As for my little journey. After you left, it appeared Green-Root wanted to find out where you went so he swam downstream to find you. I managed to take advantage of Flint and Flogir's suspicions on the Argonian and managed to make them think Green-Root was attempting to turn coat. Of course, snakemen started coming our way as we argued so I threw up a large firewall to give us enough time to flee. But let me tell you. I don't think it'll take the Argonian long to figure us out," he continued, finishing off in a foreboding tone before looking around the room, "At least it appears that he wishes to separate from the group. Perhaps we should encourage that..."
Voltar didn't like the Argonian at all. Green-Root had enough common sense to realize something was amiss with Voltar travelling with this Altmer when he had previously seen him travelling with Veric in his Breton form. The sooner he was out of the picture, the smoother Veric's plans of conquest would be.
He drained the rest of his wine. "Now, perhaps you want to fill me in on what was done during your abscense? Does that presence outside of the hotel have anything to do with you?" he asked nodding to the window.
