Ryyden, Tel Aruhn
Ryyden stood atop his tower handing his maid a comberry pie. He had just made a new law. Every fifth day of every fifth month, would be make a comberry pie for your friend day. Along with this acomplishment, he had also founded many new spells, and had made the houses stronger in the city. Confused would be the first thing said of the people in the city of Ald Ruhn. However they were happy under their leader. Even if they weren't they didn't have a choice. From his tower he could see all.
He was the leader of one of Telvanni's largest army, and soon he would ask amil for leadership of all forces. Though he'd have to go to sadrith mora soon. Amil and him had always gotten along so he wasnt worried.

How long can we hope to last without the Erabenimsun? Darum is haughty enough to take up his tribe and leave, no matter the danger to us or his own tribe." he explained, hoping that Sedrane wouldn't think les of him for making him do such a thing.
"I really couldn't care less about appeasing Darum; it's about the lives of our people we're talking."
Akar, New Vivec"Fine then, I guess we're going that way." he said, pointing to the water. He picked up Leni and headed towards the ocean.
Sedrane, ZergonipalSedrane looked at Kaushad...seing the sadness in his face....sighed and said:
"Kaushad....I hear what you say, and I believe in you, I always had. My concern is our people just as yours.....and I agree on the fact that weīll need the Erabenimsum with us and not against us. But it hurts me deep in my heart to give in to a man like Darum...he is lying...I know it and you know it....still you want me to humiliate myself in this way.......But....Iīll do it, for our people.....and also....for you, because I know you always have a reason for asking things. But I want you to realise that it hurts me very much doing this, since I know Darum is going to laugh at me behind my back.He knows perfectly well I did not take Yurna!"
Sedrane turned away....he didnīt want Kaushad to see the tears in his eyes.

Dimitre, Vivec Shore
"Dahleena I'll give you some tips on swimming. The first step is to get in the water at least waist high." Dimitre paused for a second then continued
"The second step is to make sure you have as little cothing on as possable. The more clothing you have on, the more you will weigh in the water and make it harder to keep yourself afloat. The next thing is to just lay flat on the water, the oxygen in your blood will keep afloat, even when limp and not moving.
Another thing, if you find yourself panicing, don't struggle, you'll only create a sort of under-toe and will drag you down faster. Think calm and rationally, and if push comes to shove, you can always use a water-breathing spell for the duriation.
Once laying flat on the water and have gotten used to how that feels, start moving your hands and feet back and forth, up and down, and get used to the friction feeling of your body pushing against the water. This will also get you to move, the harder you push, the faster you go and so on and so forth.
You can't pratice the float trick in the bathtub because there is not enough water pressure to keep you up, and you'll sink to the bottom of the tub. Leni, on the other hand, might be able to for a few seconds.
Last and final step, hold your breath under water. You can take the breath above then go under, or just let your body naturally not allow you to inhale the water."
Dimitre looked at all three. He was pretty sure Dahleena kinda new how to swim, and he knew Akar wouldn't let anything happen to Leni.
"Are you guys ready to play?"

"No clothes?.....ok Iīll takeīem off then"
Dahleena started to take off her clothes...she was not shy, after all she used to be a dancer at Deseleīs Earthly delights....so she was comfortable being naked in front of men.....
The trousers and the shirt were soon off......
"Ok. Iīm ready, what now Dimitre?"

Dimitre, Vivec Shore
Dimitre got into the water and took the rest of his clothes off, then said,
"Okay Dahleena, why don't you come over here and lay flat on the water on your belly, but keep your face above for safty reasons heh. This might feel childish but just bare with it. By the way, nice body..."
Dimitre said, then placed his left hand on Dahleenas' stomach and his right lower portion of his arm on her legs, just under the knee-caps. Seeing as how Dimitre was tall, he didn't have to worry about getting close enough to where it would be unconfortable for her or Akar.
"Okay, now start slowly moving your feet up and down to give yourself some thrust in the water and get yourself going a decent speed. Also, the faster you go, the less of a chance you have to sink, but it will knock your fatigue down pretty good.
Now seeins' how i think this is your first offical swim, if you start having problems or anything, just adjust your legs to where you touch the sand under the water. Also, once we get you situated to floating with the help of someone, i'll move my hands away but i won't tell you when."
Dimitre helped Dahleena into the water and helped her level herself and keep her balanced on the surface.
"Also, a way to help get over your fear of drowning, totally submerge yourself under water for a few seconds each time and hold your breath so you get situated to what being completly underwater feels like, and to know there is nothing to be afraid of."
Dimitre said, gentally pulling away his hands. He talked while doing so, so she would pay attention to what he was saying and not what his hands were doing.

It was amazing......she actually was floating..Dimitreīs constant talking made her forget all and just concentrate in doing as he said....oh my this was an experience....quite new to her......She moved her arms and legs the way he said....and she moved forward! Amazing, she just had to tell Akar, so she turned and opened her mouth to call for him...
Now that wasnīt smart, because she lost focus and ended up with her head under water and her mouth and nostrils were of course filled with water as well......Naturally she panicked....waving arms and legs totally incoherent which made her go even deeper under the surace
A quich thought ran through her mind:
"So this is how it feels to drown.....Iīm dying here..."

Dimitre, Vivec Shores
Dimitre took a deep breath and dove under. All of Dahleenas' flailing had gotten her pretty deep into the water. Dimitre could see clearly because it was a sunny day, thank god. Dimitre swam as fast as he could to get to Dahleena, and reached her about 10 seconds later, but that 10 seconds seemed like forever, because he was struggling.
Dimitre finally reached Dahleena and grabbed ahold of her face and placed his mouth on hers, and exhaled into Dahleenas' mouth, giving his oxygen to Dahleena. With the last of his strength he felt the bottom of the shore and pushed against it in haste, projecting them to the surface at greater speeds.
Once above the water, Dimitre wrapped his arm around Dahleenas' belly, just under the breasts so that she wouldn't slip out from him again. Once on the shore, Dimitre layed her down and noticed her eyes looked messed up, like they were getting a loss of oxygen.
Dimitre took another deep breath, and breathed it into Dahleenas' mouth, giving her the boost of oxygen and enery. He repeated it three times before he heard her caugh and snap out of it. Dimitre was so happy to see that she had pulled through.
Dimitre plopped down on the sand next to her, stairing at her, overwhelmed, catching his breath. Dimitre realized it would get really cold really fast, so he placed a large cloth over Dahleena, from her ankles to her shoulders, and Dimitre put his pants back on.

"The battle is done." she said, watching as the last of the goblins were dispatched by Ordinators and other warriors lending a helping hand.
"Endris, go get whatever you need from the city; your selected assassins as well. I'll meet you in Sadrith Mora."
With that, she and her two escorts walked to New Vivec's port to go to the Telvanni town.
Akar, New vivec
Akar had been with Leni as she splashed in the shallow water, letting Dimitre teach Dahleena to swim. He hadn't noticed what happened until Dimitre had pulled her ashore.
He quickly scooped up the wet toddler and ran over to where Dahleena was.
"Is she alright?"

"Right this way." a servant told Stauros and Dalrus to Isaarin's quarters.
"Councillors Stauros and Dalrus to see you, Sir." the servant said, rapping on the Grandmaster's door.

"I was thinking that Caldera and Balmora should have more soldiers than the other towns, Caldera for its Ebony Mine, and Balmora becuase it's the center of our trade. Maybe Hla Oad as well; while it is small, it's one of the few towns we control that has a port."
"What are your thoughts on the matter?" he asked.

Mistress Therana, Telvanni councillor, Sadrith Mora
She closed the door to her cabinet, smiling. It was a relief to be alone, all those people swarming in the great hall, the Mouths...really using their mouths far too much....bah!
Therana changed into her nightgown, it was time to get some sleep, but first a bit of self-maintenance. Those face-masks made of green lichen and heather, that Baladas gave her really did wonders with the skin. Some obscure outlander prepare those for him and he usually give her one or two small jars when passing by.
She put on the mask and then sat down reading a book while waiting. She remembered in the old days, before the Nerevarine slayed Dagoth Ur, back then everybody thought she was crazy, out of her mind, a lunatic......oh aye, she definitely acted as one..but that was part of the game!
Therana was as sane as anyone....The Nerevarine knew but did not reveal her. Ah that was a great man.....too bad he was a Redoran! The Redorans are getting more and more cocky, they really have o be told a lesson.....
And then what about that ashlander-girl who came to see Master Aryon? Nah....have to find out in the morning!
Hmmm.....wonder when Amili will come back? She really is one of a kind! Therana chuckled as she thought of Amili....
30 minutes later Mistress Therana was sleeping ......no dreams were haunting her this chilly night....she slept with a smile on her face..which made it almost beautiful...

Stauros took a seat and glanced at Dlarus, "Yes I think Cladera should havea fairly large force for that reason and because it is on our territorial borders." Stauros sipped some brandey and thought some more.
"Yes I agree that Balmora is an important point but taking that we have the fort there we don't need as many, becasue we will have the training forces and they could defende from the fort which is alot easyer. Then we should also send a fair amount to Suran. Again because of the border issue. Then I guess we can deploy the rest to anywer else that needs it."

Amili walked off of the ship as it docked in Sadrith Mora. She made her way to the place where she housed the Builders. Hopefully they were doing a satisfactory job.
She walked into the Gateway Inn, and spoke with the Head Builder. Apparently, they were ahead of schedule.
She went to see the tower, and was not disappointed. Only the first two levels were finished, and there were a few builders seen casting their spells to make the mushroom grow larger.
So far, so good. she thought. Now we need to get rid of a few councillors. Fyr, for one; he is only a Telvanni for what the House supplies him, not for what he can supply for the House. He cares nothing for us. And then there is Therana; I think there are spiders in that woman's brain.Dratha can stay; I find her hatred for men amusing.
She sighed; so much to do ever since Melkaan left the House in shambles.

"Suran...I hear most of it is burned." he said, showing Stauros a letter he had recieved. "According to that, some kind of daedra caused it."
"I have a splendid idea!" he exclaimed, putting his glass down and out of the way. "We could build another fort in place of the city. Build it around the river, as the city was, so that we can control what goes up and down it, securing our border on land and water."
He wrote that down; couldn't forget that idea.
"Stauros, I want to put you in charge of Balmora's defenses until the fort in Suran is built; then you will go there and Wred will take your place. Dalrus, I would like you in charge of Caldera. It is your hometown, right?"

The young Khajiit, Chisandra, entered the chamber, as usual a bit afraid of her Mistressītemper, even though during the last years Therana had showed a completely different side of herself than before.....was this maybe the "real" Therana? Chisandra hoped so anyway.
An hour later Therana was heading towards Drathaīs chambers, bringing some of that face-mask.....even if Drathe didnīt fancy men....she might just be interested in looking her best when she got female company.....as just now!
While walking the short distance to Dratha, she noticed a new ship at the docks....could it be Amili??

Dimitre looked at Serene with a happy grin on his face, then once he heard the name of this man, "Jonican" the smile went away pretty fast. Jealiousy built up in his heart and mind, but he struggled to rid himself of that feeling. Dimitre started thinking.
Pfft.... Naw it would never work out... she's my friends mother! Besides, sounds like she's married already.... I gotta get out of here for a little bit at least.
Dimitre couldn't think straight around Serene, and figured it was pretty visible from his lack of conversation around her, or his nervus gitters when she would speak to or about him. He laughed at himself for having such a petty crush! He had thought that was something only children did....drooling over a girl!
Dimitre took a glance around the room and saw that almost everyone was pre-occupied with their conversations and, once again, Dimitre was left out of the loop. Resentment on top of Hate, Lust, and Jealiousy was not a good combination!
Dimitre turned and walked out the door, most likely unnoticed just like all those other times. It almost braught him to tears by the fact that noone even cared about him or showed any compassion. This happened to him like clockwork throughout his entire life so far. It left a throbbing pain in his heart that just added to his other, mixed feelings.
Whenever something good happens to me.... you have to take it away! Don't you Azura! You killed my fiance and my child! You piece of s**t! Why are you doing this to me?! What have I done to deserve this! I hate you!!!
tears welped up in his eyes, but something inside him snapped, and the tears stopped and all emotions went away. It was strange to him, he felt completely normal, as if nothing happened... no tears, no hate, jealiousy or lust, nothing! The thoughts still ran though his mind though that he was thinking just seconds before.
"I see how it is! You screw with my life then desert me and take my feelings with you?! Screw you Azura!" Dimitre muttered under his breath, then looked around, wondering if anyone heard him or saw him.

He went in anyway, though, and was approached by a messenger. "Miss Amili, I have a letter from Master Aryon."
Amili swiped the letter form him without a word and opened it.
Redorans are helping the ashlanders? Why? she wondered. The n it hit her. They want the ladn as bad as we do, they just want to get it by negotation.

"What's up?" Dimitre asked, waiting for a response.
His nerves were going almost out of his control at that moment, and thoughts went through his mind. The only kind of effection he had ever gotten from anyone was Dahleena when she was consoling him. He didn't even get effection from his fiance or daughter, seens how he hardly ever seen them, and his daughter was actually his step-daughter, so there was no blood relations what so ever. That angered him more.
Is she going to try to analize me or something? I have no REAL family, they've all died before I could remember any of them. There are also people who wanted me dead, and have hired many assassins to take me out. I just pray nothing happens to me while Serene is with me, I don't want Akar to go through the pain I have endured... please azura, i know she is still on your side, don't let anything bad happen to her and i'll repent and never talk bad on you again, i promise on my life and soul!

What Serene told him made him choose his thoughts cautiously, even scared him a bit. He knew she had some super-natural talents but never knew what they were exactly.
"I would like that, but on one condition..." he paused for a second then continued,
"If there is any signs of danger to your family because of me, you and your family will never hear from me agai--"
Before he could finish his sentance, three arrows pierced his naked back. The first two grazed his lungs, but hit the chest bones, cauing the arrows to stick out. The third one pierced his kidney, sticking out also.
The shots were so silent, and Dimitres' frame was so much bigger than Serenes, so it blinded her vision to what was happening.
Dimitre twitched when the arrows made contact, and not more than five seconds after he got shot, blood started flowing from his mouth as he tried to tell Serene something, blood flowed into his lungs, making it almost impossable for him to breath.
Serene..... please.... run! Dimitre thought, knowing now that she could read his mind, and knew the message would get across.
Dimitre feel to his knees, not breaking eye contact with Serene. He looked up, into Serenes' eyes and tried saying something, he ran it through his mind before trying to verbally say it..
"I...... s...r.....y...." were all the words that could be made out through the garble of the blood flowing out of his mouth, before looking at Serene with tears in his eyes and falling face first onto the shore. A pool of blood quickly started to form around his head, then he blacked out. He wanted to tell her that he was sorry...
Dimitre wouldn't allow himself to die, not without knowing Serene was back to the saftey of her manor, but also knew that if something didn't happen soon, he would be stairing down the gates of Oblivion.

Therana smiled at Amili....a cold but completely sane smile
"Iīll show her whoīs wisest and most powerful among the Telvanni" Amili, Sadrith MoraWha- is she? It is possible...An insane person wouldn't know that I just slighted her...Amili gave a conceding nod. "Forgive me, Mistress Therana. It seems that I misunderstood you."
Even if she was stil insane, it would be good to keep the councillor happy; they couldn't afford to have the House killing each other as was the custom.

OOC: Jeezerz!!! Are you gonna kill the poor guy!? Canīt allow it!
Serene, shoresShe didnīt see from where the arrows came..she kneeled by Dimitreīs side, knowing that quick action was cruisal here unless the man would die.
She cast a fog-spell in order to cover them from any snipers....then sherapidly wrapped her cloak around dimitre, muttered some words which made her able to carry him with her..not very high above the ground....barely off it.
She made her way back to the manor at the same time she tried to reach Akar...she could do with some help.....ant then again she didnīt want to endanger Akarīs life
"Akar....Iīm on my way back with Dimitre..heīs badly wounded"She tried not to hurt Dimitre too much during the way back, but the poor mnan was moaning in pain, Serene hurried as much as she could, tears running down her face...this was just not fair.......she wished they didnt go so far away....
"Akaaaarrrr!"

Miles, New Vivec
Miles feet pounded upon the ground as he tore through the streets of New Vivec, making his way to Serene and Dimitre.
His sword was drawn in one swift movement.
What the hell are they doing here, I thought they were at Serene's manor?
Miles reached Serene, who was carrying Dimitre. He slowed his pace to match Serenes, who was visibly disturbed.
"Serene, do you need help? Isn't he heavy?!"
Miles had spotted them while exploring New Vivec, and this certainly wasn't the kind of stuff that would attract tourists.

He had just found Leni when he heard the voice in his head. He hurriedly gave Leni to Dahleena before running out the door.
He ran outside, and saw Serene and Dimitre running towards the manor, and the boy that had lead him to the manor in the first place. After seeing arrows in Dimitre's body, he drew his sword, looking for the attackers.

She noticed with pleasure young Miles approaching, yet she yelled at him to be careful, there could still be some snipers....but with the help of him the way back went a lot faster, the small feather-spell was wearing off anyway
Then she saw Akar, sword in hand, and got terrified.....if anything happened to him she could not live with that
"Hurry inside..all!" she shouted heading up the gangway to the manor....Dimitre was still alive,,but just barely...This meant a big healing-process..she just hoped she still had some strength left

Akar caught up to Serene, and walked behind her to fend off anyone that came from behind. Once she and Dimitre were inside, she shut the door, while he himself stayed outside.
"What do you say to finding these cowards?" Akar asked the boy standing a ways off, sword in hand. He looked as if he could use it.

Dimitre, Cyrodil, 12 Years Ago
"Hey! I heard there was a fight in the west wing of the achademy! We should go check it out! Hey Dimitre, you comming!?" Akudo shouted, clentching his fist.
"Yes! Let's get moving before it's over!" Dimitre replied, clentching his fist as well.
Dimitre, Akudo, Kamyama and Takenuchi rushed to the west wing to see who the fight was between, and when they got there they found out that the room was full of Dark Brotherhood members. Dimitres' nose cringed at the smell, their stench seaped through the hall like a plauge.
There he also bore witness to a Dark Brotherhood send a poisoned dagger into his good friend, Sanjis', kneck with incredable speed. Soon after, Dimitre, Akudo, Kamyama and Takenuchi were joined by almost all of the first years had piled into the room. The Dark Brotherhood noticed it, and took off out of the windows, leaving Sanji lifeless on the floor with the dagger still in his neck.
"Let's kick their asses!" Takenuchi demanded, slamming his fist into the desk next to him. All the others, including Dimitre didn't particulary find that a bad idea.
"Okay! We all know where the entrance to their hide-out is! Everybody meet there at exactly 10:00pm! Understood?" Dimitre shouted, pulling out a smoke from his shirt pocket.
----------
"Damnit! It's 10:30! Where the hell are they?" Dimitre said to himself, furious, putting out the smoke against the wall he was leaning against.
I need to leave a message for these guys so when they show up they know i'm already inside and to come in and help me! Dimitre thought to himself while scanning the area for something to leave a note with.
Dimitre finally ran his eyes across a paint brush in a pool of paint not more than ten feet away from him, and figured that was better than nothing. He picked up the paint brush, and painted what time it was, his name, and that he was inside. He scanned the area for any immediate danger, then opened the hatch and jumped down into the canalworks.
Once inside, Dimitre spotted the leader of the Dark Brotherhood. He was a excellent marksman, and so with that skill, he reached down to his boot and pulled out the dagger that killed Sanji, got close enough to throw it, and threw it at the leaders right-hand-man, dropping him instantly with a shot to the chest.
Okay... Now one of two things can happen! They can either scatter and save themselfs, or gather around their leader, making it harder for me to gain access... He thought to himself, patiently waiting.
Damnit! Their going with option two! This is not going according to plan. And where the hell are my friends?! Dimitre shouted in his mind, then charged the group of Dark Brotherhood members, getting ready for a battle.
He caught everyones attention running towards them, and they all pulled out their daggers and braced for an attack. Dimitre kept his eye on the leader while nailing blow for blow on his bodyguards, dropping them with one hit each.
Dimitre finnally reached the leader, and the leader spoke to him in a somber tone.
"What is it you want?"
"You know what I came here for, you piece of slime!" Dimitre replied darkly.
Dimitre could see the terror that shot through the leaders eyes, and the other Dark Brotherhood members anticipation to pounce on him if Dimitre took a swing.
The leader took off his armour and raised his fists, and Dimitre did exactly the same, except he was still in his school uniform, black paints, black shoes, black button up shirt with golden buttons down the center.
Dimitre threw the first punch that made a crippling sound across the leaders jaw, sending him to the floor. The leader spat out blood and got back on his feet and took a swing at Dimitre but missed, causing Dimitre to retaliate with blow after crippling blow, all head shots, causing him to fall on the floor again.
Dimitre reached over to the dead bodyguard and pulled out the dagger that was lodged into his chest, and placed it against the leaders throat.
"Go ahead! Kill me! You've earned it!" the leader said, spitting more blood out.
Dimitre faught himself not to stab him in the throat, and let him bleed and suffer just like he did to his friend Sanji, but eventually eased the blade off of his neck.
"Your life isn't even worth taking!" Dimitre said, spitting on him and tossing the dagger aside before walking away.
Dimitre knew he had taken something more meaningful to someone in power then his life..... his pride! Knowing that, Dimitre walked out as Dark Brotherhood members moved out of his way.
Dimitre wrote down the events of the day in a journal that never left his side even to this day. Dimitre likes storing it in his back pocket, incase more things happened that he might need to remember.
Boss, Cyrodil, 12 Years Ago
Boss reached over to one of his high ranking officals, and demanded that Dimitre not live to see the next suns set! His pride had taken a serious blow, and he would not let Dimitre live after what he had done to him infront of his men.

Boss, New Vivec CanalWorks
It irratated him how many years and money and men he had spent trying to kill Dimitre, but he would keep trying until he suceeded. His train of thought was interupted
"Sir," A assassin said, kneeling before the boss.
"What is it?" Boss said agistatedly.
"We've got him! Dimitre is good as dead!" the assassin replied back.
"What?!? How can you be sure?!" The Boss asked, standing up in excitement.
"Sir, we had the best sharpshooter in all of Cyrodil to exicute him! Just so happens he was staying somewhere in New Vivec! Congradulations, Boss!" The assassin exclaimed.
"'Was'? how are you so sure he is dead?" Boss asked, trying to eliminate any spec of doubt.
"Sir, with all due respect, not even the best mages in Nirn could save him! He was shot in each lung, and in the lower back! Wounds that not even you could heal, Boss!" The assassin replied, bowing his head once again.
"Good! Good! This pleases me! We will let him recieve his barrial, then I wan't you to dig him up and give me his head!" The Boss said, and without any other words spoken, the assassin dissapeared out of sight.
Boss was very pleased to hear the news. He had been trying for 12 years to kill this man! And finally he suceeded! Revenge never tasted so sweet!
OOC: They said not the best healer in all of Nirn could heal him, but what about two healers? ;)

Dimitre, New Vivec
Dimitre lay flat on his stomach inside the manor, and regained conciousness for about five seconds, just long enough to get a message out.
"Journal.........Read.........Info........Past........." Dimitre said, trying to form the sentance as best he could before reaching into his back pocket and pulling out his journal and handed it to Serene. Dimitre collapsed on the floor once again, unconcious.
Dimitre knew that if they didn't fix him up in under 30 minutes he was going to die, and that would have scared him, but he lost so much blood he lacked the energy to be afraid.

"This would mean a fair bit of healing.....heīs in bad shape, Iīll have to gather all my strength to do this"
Serene rubbed her hands to get them warmer....then she cautiously removed the protruding arrows , while she with one hand stopped the bleeding , it was a very tricky thing to do, she didnīt want him to bleed to death while she was removing them.
Then she held her hands over the holes in his body, focussing hard.....very hard and at the same time chanting an incantation......nothing happened at first....then when she nearly gave up hope, a slight movement was visible.....very slight but still a movement..
Serene continued her task, unaware of the people around her, sweta was running down her back...she repeated the incantation over and over, at the same time praying to Azura to aid her.....
It was visible to all....the faint blue aura that suddenly engulfed her and Dimitre.....and they also could see the terrible wounds slowly close......very slowly still closing...
After this Serene was exhausted, but she went to her special cupboard and took out a green vial.....she put it to Dimitreīs lips and had him sip from it.....
"Itīs a weak healing-potion, very good as pain-killer and to get a good sleep from" she said.....
Dimitre would survive....after a while it was obvious that he slept a good normal sleep and woud do so for at least the next six hours or more
Serene smiled: " This calls for a brandy, right?"

Dalrus, New Vivec
OOC: Sorry i was gone for the weekend in New York.
Dalrus turned to isaarin. "Yes Caldera is where i grew up, i will take this army north to there, the govenors hall is under construction and will soon be as good as a fortress. I built the town since it was destroyed five years ago, and will not have it destroyed again. I agree with your plan fully Isaarin. I would like to rest here for a little as well. Then i will begin the march north to Balmora with Stauros. Then take my army north where we will be in Caldera. " She said excitedly.
"However i ask that if war with Telvanni comes, i may take the army from Caldera and fight them. I believe i have more 'knowlege' of the Telvanni then anyone in all of Hlaalu. I will keep in contact to you with letters. However since Balmora is but a days march from Caldera, and 15 h ours by the kagouti, i will be able to keep in contact with Stauros and the army of Balmora. However if Stauros is in Suran i will not be able to. However that will change when Wred takes Stauros position in Suran."
Ryyden, Tel Aruhn
Ryyden stood atop his tower looking over the huge city. He could see Sadrith mora from the tower, and longed to speak with his good friend Amill. He transported to an island halfway in between the two huge cities. And there he had a boat which had been built there specially for travel between the two cities.
The rest of the journey was short, four hours at the most, and he soon found himself in Sadrith Mora. He walked into the inn, and everyone bowed. He continued walking untill he reached the base of the new tower, and asked a guard for Amill

"Dalrus, I can't make you a promise like that. It all depends on the situation, and I don't know if taking all of Caldera's soldiers off to battle will be to my liking. I city such as that needs to be well defended. I will see what I can do when the time comes, and I would also appreciate any information you have."
This woman had some kind of vendetta, he realized, but he wouldn't let that leave one of his most important cities vulnerable; hopefully she would't take maters into her own hands.
Perhaps I should reassign her? he thought, but decided against it.
"Is there anything you would like to ask me?"

Dalrus cursed in her head. She wanted to take back all of Telvanni's lands which she wanted. She smiled and shook her head. "No there isn't anything i need that i can think of" she said gripping the side of her chair tightly. There was something not genuine about this man, something that reminded her of herself. With Stauros he told her right away, however this man gave her a vibe. "Well it was great seeing you again, i will make my way north soon, come one stauros lets not take up his time"

Dalrus walked out of the house and didn't say a word. She fired a huge amount of lightning into the air. It looked as if she was a mighty storm. Dalrus back when she was a telvanni councilor was known as the goddess of lightning. That wasn't and understatement. She gave Stauros a warning glance to be prepared. And they were soon surrounded by a swirl of energy. They reapeared in the camp of the army.
