"Otik?" Sel said dumbly. He had tightened the belt around Serene's leg and was about to pull it out before the healer came; that kind of thing was better left to them.
"Here, do anything you can." Sel said to the healer, backing out of her way.

Stabbed herself? Yeah I was about to leave VIvec with my friend when I heard you well, so uh, yeah I showed up with the healer..." Otiks voice trailed off.
The healer popped up from Serene, "Well, she is allreight, need to be more careful with those swords young man, don't even know why they were created. Oh and you promiced to pay me?"
Otik handed the healer 100 gold peices and the healer went off, mumbling about lots of gold and dangerous swords.

Val-Jeer Tavern Val recovered and caught the counterattack with a horizontal slice. With his left palm on the back of the blade for support he held the daedric katana at bay. If the silver sword wasn't of an ethereal nature, it surely would have shattered.
In the floor below he could hear the guards vacating the burning building and gathering outside.
Time had once again slowed for Val, as it had when he battled the guards, but something was wrong.
The Silhouette was moving just as fast as he was. Perhaps... faster.
The Silhouette
Whoever this new enemy was he was trained, and good at that, he wasnt quite as fast but more of a challenge then he had ever faced, he shot a blast of shock energy and launched him across the room, he then turned to see who was trying to put out the fire...
there he was Megil... "I've been looking for you"

Val-Jeer - New Vivec
Val went crashing through a window and onto the ground below, leaving a trail of smoke from the building. He managed to land on his feet, but was still skidding backwards from the force of the blast. By the time he stopped, his claws had carved three-foot long grooves into the stone ground.
He rose and reached into his coat to the source of the smoke. The blast had struck the book he placed there and completely fried it. He dropped the fluttering mess and sheathed his sword. His personal vendetta with the Telvanni seemed so pointless now.
We would have to stay here in New Vivec and see what would happen. His instincts told him something big was coming. Giving a final glance at the burning building, he turned his back and disappeared into the gathering crowd.

Dalrus, The Caldera/Balmora road
Dalrus and two hundred fifty hlaalu soldiers continued their way south, they had to wait about halfway there, for twenty-five more soldiers from Gnaar-Mok.
Hlaalu Captain leaving Gnaar-Mok
The thundering of the hlaalu boots could be hear over the bridge that connected gnaar mok with the mainland. They had just gotten out of gnaar mok, when dust rolled up in the distance...
"That must be dalrus" a soldier said
"Lets work our way there, but quietly" the captain said
"why do we need to be quiet?"
"Because, dalrus shouldnt be this far west, she's supposed to be on the caldera road"
The guards slowly walked their way there, and looked over a ridge what they saw scared them, it was a group of maybe two hundred orcs, all armored and leading them was a silhouette (not nearly as powerful or infamous as 'The Silhouette')

"We need to get out of here and fas..."
"Leaving so soon?" The silhouette said as he suddenly appeared right next to them"
"Wha... How did you see us" the captain studdered, all the hlaau guards then unsheathed their swords, the silhouette ran back to his orcs, and then charged. The hlaalu guards knew it was their last battle, but by the deadra it was going to be their finest hour...
the captain, was leading them, and clashed with a large orc, ralma (the captain) easily dispatched him with a flick of his sword, the shade had already taken out three men, and that was a lot in a small group of hlaalu's. Then after taking out three orcs ralma, was blown hundreds of feet bakc by a blast of frost. he hit a tree, breaking hsi back and the tree. He fell to the group smushed under the weight of his own armor. The hlaalu fought valiently but to no avail... 25 hlaalu, and 57 orcs lay on the field

Megil blocked some of teh blows, but they were so fast he had to dodge a few. He managed to catch one of the blows with the bottom of his boots, he immediately pushed away, Getting out of the silhouette's swords reach. Megil brought the 6 foot blade in front of his face and while holding it with both hands began to mutter an incantation. a whitish aura began to dance around the blade, Megil's eyes grew were bright blue flames.
"Spirit blade of oblivion I here by release you of your imprisonment, let us show this foe your true power."
then he pulled apart his hands, instead of one blade there were now two 6 foot blades. one as black as night, the other a nearly blinding white.
Megil charged at the silhoutte sending a series of equally fast lightning blows with both swords, a spin, from the side, from the top. the swords where but a blur.

"what is this.. who are you?" though the silhouette was keeping up with him as far as speed, he had never foughten an enemy he couldnt take down in less then five minutes, and they had been fighting for ten. Everytime megil would throw a blow, the silhouette would block it and vise versa
"Mala holdair mel tonga feiietra manrytiea" it was a potentially dangerous spell for him and megil, but he was determined, the rom turned dark then light then dark then light faster, and faster, untill the darkness and the light envelopped the entire tavern, the rock under the canton began to crumble...

This was a beyond this world opponent, he could tell from the spell he was casting that it was powerful enough to destroy the enchanted infrastructure that held up he city.

Dane woke up and looked around. He was lying in an alleyway and his head hurt. He moved his hands to rub his face and noticed the bottle in his hand.
Oh yeah.... that's what happened. He thought to himself. He didn't remember very much from the past few weeks besides a few unconnected and vague events. He remembered running to a fort with an Argonian in his arms and that was it.... well... besides a few drinks.
"I really need to lay off the sauce" he groaned to himself as he stood up and brushed himself off and stumbled out of the alleyway.

Megil sighed as he saw how badly that spell had damaged this portion of the city. Looking at the wreckage he was glad to see that teh undercity had suffered little damage, it was simply covered by debris from the collapsed upprcity. he turned to the oncoming ordinators,
"I need one of you to fetch the emergency personnel, we have to check the area for survivors. Notify the construction guild in ebonheart, we need to get this part rebuilt ASAP, beofre any strucutral instability worsens the damage."
Megil pushed both swords together making them one once again, and returned it to it's scabbard. he headed for the arene to see how Serene and sel were fairing.

The city was swarming with guards, he was running around the corner when a brigade of them saw him. "You there!!" they yelled "you're that thing, you're under arrest!"
without a word the silhouette jumped up, and onto the canton top, a supernatural on hundre foot jump. He peered over the edge, and used a spell to throw a statue over the edge of the canton top. A loud crunch was heard as the bones of the ordinators shattered, the ones who were alive just stood there aghast. The scene was gruesome, and the silhouete fired frost out of his palm taking out the remaining three

As he exited the alleyway he identified his location as Balmora. Things seemed a bit different but he couldn't put his finger on it. He winced and leaned against the wall holding his head.
"Move along, drunkard" growled a dunmer, suprising Dane.
He stared at the man a bit. Things were a bit blurry but this was definently a guard. Dane righted himself up again and shuffled towards the main square.

When he reached the main square he headed towards the nearest inn. He walked into the Eight Plates and dropped a couple hlaalens on the desk. It was probably all he had but what the hell.
"What's your poison?" smiled hostess, recognising (sp) Dane's forlorn face,.
"Sujamma" he whisperd hoarsly as he took a seat and shortly after was given a mug.
As he sat in his seat sipping his Sujamma he pulled a polished metal mirror from his coat. His vision was clearing up, and he was a mess.
I really let myself go... he thought sadly as he stroked his unshaven face and looked into his bleary reddened eyes.
I need to get back on the ball. After this I'm getting back into adventuring....
But where to start?

He came to the gate and looked to back at New Vivec, it was loud with the rush of ordinators, debris floated off in the distance. Then he saw it rising in the west past Vivec, the tower of his master was rising, the tower of Mirana the silhouette, said a spell and was soon there, the island of melrond, it was uncharted, but was quite close to the island of vvardenfell. (queue baradur music)
[B]Miran, Mirana
Skeleton warriors were covering the island, along with hundreds of orcs. The tower ras high above the tallest telvanni tower, and gave a chill down the spine of anyone who gazed upon it. Hundreds of dunmer, imperials, altmer, and argonians, were chained to eachother, and laid down the rock of the tower. The Silhouette scared them, and they looked away from him. About five more Silhouettes worked for Miran, but were not as powereful as the lead Silhouette.
The Silhoette walked into the area where Miran was
"Ahh Gaan (the silhouette's name, only know by one other person) what news do you bring from New Vivec?"
"Megil is dead, i had to do the anti spell (the dark/light spell) to defeat him though" Gaan replied
"Very well, that leaves one less canton to worry about" replied miran...

Arneth had stood quite along the wall near the arena pit watching how Serene and Sel was doing. Seeing that Serene stabbed herself, but they managed to get a healer fast - so there wasn't much reason for him to help now...
It looked like they had met a familiar face, someone that Arneth couldn't remember if he where at Ald Daedroth when he met Serene as the others. Taking a look at his ring for a few moments he could see it all clear in front of him, the fights he had, the victories, the looses and the imense pain from burning blades digging their way into your flesh.
With that in his mind, Arneth kept on looking on how the people in the arena were doing. He wouldn't mind lending Serene his sword, if they would notice him tho it could be suicide if she would stab herself with his sword...

He shook off the thought, knowing full well he would learn soon enough. He sat cross legged with his tail curled around him and began to hum softly. He had a hunch... that playing the death song on the lute was what brought the lights to him.
The sad tune began to bring tears to his eyes, and he was completely oblivious to the gentle swaying his body was doing. Before long, the sky was lit up with rivers of bright blue mist. The question of who else could see them was far from his mind.
