Flint Ironwood, adding to the story.

,,Yeah, the bears here really are nasty. Once I ran into a pack of them. If I didn't get above the trees as fast as I did, well I wouldn't be whining about it right now." Flint quickly added. He noticed the wounds that had appeared.
,,Wow, they're really taking their excuses serious."
,,Say, where the heck have you two been?"
He asked Rahvin (his body anyway.) and Sadril.


Fervus Noctus, healing.

,,My, those are some nasty wounds you have there. Allow me." Fervus muttered and cast some of his healing spells.
,,And I'll be eager to hear your story." He then told the newcomers.

Cerpin

"We had to....work some things out. A few disagreements and such."

Brianna, overwhelmed with joy

"You´re back!!!!!! oh I´m so happy, where have you been? Are you ok?"
Brianna jumped off the carriage, a sharp pain went up her spine but she did not take notice, she only wanted to get to Cerpin as fast as she could. She flung herself around his neck, sobbing of sheer joy


Serene, concerned.....

She watched her daughter embrace Cerpin, and had to turn away from the sight

"We are trying to get going" she said, "Brianna will probably soon have her baby, so we better hurry this on...but where have you two been all this time, why don´t you tell us?" Serene smirked


Don´t worry Telina....I won´t say anything......this time!

OOC:Minque...did you forgot to read the message Telina sent to Serene . I edited my post/minkey

Telina, relived

Telina breathed out, the discussion seemed to be over. "Ok, then I suggest we get going, as we should consider getting Bree to a safe spot"

She mounted her horse again, riding in small cirles around the carriage, holding watch.

Oh...thanks, I owe you one now, she answered Serene through another telepathic message.

EDIT:So did I minky...so did I.

Rahvin

On watching Brianna and Cerpin, Rahvin felt terrible. Telina was probably hurt deeply, thinking that it was him.

I'm going to have a lot of compassion to wade through when I get my body back.

Cerpin

Cerpin returned the embrace, but wasn't really focusing on the here and now. He was planning his next move. He would give Rahvin his body back, as agreed; it was losing its usefulness as more and more people began discovering his secret.

Who can I use that will always be trusted?

Flint Ironwood, looking at the scene.

Flint watched the embrace just like everyone else did. He couldn't help but notice again that Rahvin appeared to be acting different. He shook off the thought and kept his eyes on the road.
,,It's not like anyone of us can be called normal. If he acts funny, then who isn't?"

Sasal

Knowing that he couldnt lie to Serene, sasal thought I cant lie to her... and i cant take the pain and embarassment eating away at me.... i meen... i was just caught in the moment....words cant explain how im still crazy about serene... but with what went on... i dont think i have a chance at wining her over now

And sasal stepped a few inches away from the group. He put on his cloak, and Started to blend in with the snowy background, soon his chameleon spell had take full effect, and solemly walked away.... with his destination to Port Telvanni, a long way from where he was, but then again, he was always used to walking....

"And another person i have to eliminate from my memories.... maybe that is a request i can ask of the Telvanni scientists" sasal said to him self; wind blowing and snow falling....

Brianna

She was just happy he was back...now she could endure anything..

"I think the baby will be born soon, I just feel it.....but....where have you been???? Why can´t you tell me? There´s something bothering you, I can feel it!"

Cerpin

"I already told you, Bree. Sadril and I had some things to work out." he asnwered.

He pulled her closer to whisper in her ear. "I hated how he tried to scare you all the time, so I put a stop to it."

Flint Ironwood, going after Sasal.

Flint saw how the old man suddenly ran away.
,,Brianna, could you...." He then remembered that Brianna was no longer sitting on the carriage.
,,Fervus, you take the reins." He said and hopped of.

Sasal was too close to go through the trouble of jumping, so Flint decided to simply run after him.
,,Hey, old man! Where are you going?" He called out as the distance between them shrunk quickly.

(I'm off to bed by the way.)

Sasal

While walking pasta few traders and adventurers, he herd the voice of Flint calling to him. He called out a few meters away "Dont follow me flint, your place is with them!" His heart sank as he thought of what he did and his thoughts of Serene. He gathered yellow magicka around his hand, and summoned a Dremora Valkynaz and a Xivilai to intercept Flint, and anyone else who would try to follow. "I dont want you to get hurt, but i wont have anyone follow me; and as i said, you are to stay with Brianna!" sasal shouted, scaring away the travelers on the road. "Now go back!" he commanded; then his 2 dremora had drawn their weapons, one with a Daedric claymore, and another with a Daedric war hammer. The two had set themselves infront of Flint, neither ready to attack, yet neither wanting Flint to go any further.

Cerpin

"Why is he running off like that? What's with the daedra?" he asked Brianna for two reasons; first, he actually wanted to know. Second, he wanted to get the subject away from where he and Sadril were.

Sadril

Sadril walked with Cerpin until they reached the carriage, then he simply crossed his arms and stood by to watch things unfold, and to explain to Rahvin. I am not that Veric's partner, minion, underling, apprentice or any of that. I have worked with him in the past and I still do occasionally, but we are not on friendly terms exactly. When Cerpin regarded Veric as my 'master' i just kinda lost my temper, that's all.

And I'm happy Telina is still alive, but how much of her is actually there, and how much of Death isn't.... I wouldn't be certain.

Sadril eyed the carriage, "Where are we headed?"

Brianna

"Ehh...I think he sort of fancy my mother.....and thinks he can´t get her...then he...ahh I dont know, but he talked with Telina..then all of a sudden he just ran off.....like that"

Brianna squeezed Cerpin´s hand

"Hold me please" she asked him shyly

Haldin, Finally arrived at Morrowind

Haldin, who had just stepped out from the registry at the Census and Exice offices, pondered on life's little ironies...exactly thiry years earlier his mother had walked out of the same building...to shape her destiny in this island, to carve her fame into the hearts of men and mer around Vvardenfell...and ehre he was, back in his homeland, as a free man.

He counted his coins..."Damn, not even enough for a bed for the next night, guess I'll have to do with mother nature". He walked further, and noticed a man, breton possibly walk out from the tradehouse...he ahd a look like an adventurer, and he also seemed to have some money...exellent, so he walked over.

"Xuse me serjo...you look like an adventurer, how would you say about joining up as a team for a while...I'm sure there is something I can help you with, me I have knowledge about the island, and many caves and ruins and such...you have money, and a good sword, our goals are mutual, I have something you need, and you have something I need".

He waited a moment, before extending his hand in the western fashion..."Haldin Delvanni, son of Telina Delvanni who is Arch-Magister of Great hosue Telvanni here on Morrowind...I am but a simple priest with some knowledge in the noble arts of war".

OOC:Dark Hunter, there is your chance to get someone to Rp with again...they can make their way towards Lord Fyr together.

Arco

Arco had managed to keep up with the group even when they were on their carriage - his swiftness allowed him to run quickly through the wood, dodging the trees and his strength pushed him through the heavy snow.

He watched them from several hundred feet away, sitting on a broken tree - getting a good view of the people now around the carriage. He noticed a couple of newcomers to the group come as well along with another one leaving, summoning Daedra to keep a Breton from trying to stop him. It reminded him of the times way back, when he ran away from his group as a loose dog only to come back again all screwed up and wounded - but never did he had to summon minions (if he actually could summon anything at all) to stop them from holding him back.

Arco stood there on the broken tree with his cloak dancing in the wind passing through the woods.

He had a weird urge to walk up to the group, but his old-self kept him from doing it. Only the Dunmer knew at the time that he was around, along with the rather familiar woman he just barely noticed when he fought of the assassin. There was something about that woman...

Arco sat there, his vision dulled by old memories and thoughts.

Sasal

With the two dremora on in the way of Flint, sasal dissapeared again under his Chameleon spell. ... it cant be so bad, can it? I mean, ill get paied and cared for at the telvanni islands... and alll i have to do is be a subject to tests and train telvanni guards....

Cerpin

"Someone should probably keep him from leaving." he said as he granted her request by pulling her closer. "But someone else can do it, right?"



Rahvin

But you're done working with him now...right? Because you've been giving everyone mixed messages from the beginning. Hell, I'm in your head, and I don't know a damn thing.

Oh, look. he 'said', referring to Cerpin and Brianna. The compassion pile I have to wade through just got even deeper.

Ranes, riding on the carriage

Ranes watched Sasal head off from his seat on the 'carriage', sitting on the edge with his legs dangling off. "Let 'im go," Ranes said. "If'n he wants to leave, he's free to. He's of course, ignorant of how love works, I think. Ordinators were always stuck up and usually didn't get into the whole love thing. Armigers are a different sort all together though. Fun guys."

"And Sadril, I haven't the slightest idea of where we're going... ask 'im," Ranes jabbed a armored thumb in Fervus' direction.

Flint Ironwood vs the Daedra.

Flint watched the Daedra in front of him carefully. There were a few he didn't recognize.
,,Yeah right, as if those thingies are going to stop me." He muttered and jumped over their heads while casting some invisibility. A telekinetic blast from his sword snapped a branch of a nearby tree. With the Daedra distracted, Flint could head on and continue.

Unfortunately, Sasal had cast some sort of invisibility spell of his own. Flint had picked up the necesary detection spells during his career, but he was too lazy for them now.
,,Come back, you bloody coward! Don't you see that you're making people unhappy?!" He shouted of in the distance. Now he could simply follow Sadrils footsteps but the man did have a point. Flint had promised himself that he would stay and protect Brianna, preferably without getting involved too much with any of the women.
,,If he doesn't come back, it would be no use for me to go after him."
Flint turned around and walked back. The Daedra didn't stop him.


Fervus Noctus, being pointed at!

Fervus looked up to see a finger pointing at him.
,,Right, so it is up to me to decide? Fine, I'd say we go to Vvardenfell to get that Breton off our tracks and then turn around so we can head to Cyrodiil. But since you will all have frozen to death by then, I'd say we forget about the detour and head directly for Cyrodiil." He said and made the carriage turn south.

Oran

"Did you say the san of the current Arch-Magister?" Oran asked, interested. He smiled realising the man had, "Ah, my master was spend some time over in Skyrim with Telina... but on to more pressing matters" Oran knew that he'd have to get to Fyr soon or Arygon would be very angry with him. "You wouldn't so happen to know the way to Master Fyr's tower would you?"

OOC: This next guy only exisits if we are going to Cyrodill
Worker

"Hey Wagoeneers! Would you like to take the newly built Imperial Highway? Only 50 gold and it runs to every province of Tamreil!" A worker called out pickax still in hand.

"Yes...the current Arch-Magister....the one whi thinks he is the Arch-Magiseter now, will only take a few seconds to remove I think...but the way to lord Fyr is a well know way to me...just follow me and I'll take you to him...".

Oran

"Removing the Arch-Magister eh? Or the fake one as you put it..." Oran pondered this for a moment " I suppose we could stop by and say hello..." Oran lets out a short chuckle, "Oh look at me, I've forgotten that the exerise office gives you nothing much, here you probably need this.." Oran handed him a second baggie of a thousand septims, knowing that he had the most valueable, a writ for 7,500 septims, within his Orcish armour.

Haldin, on the road again.

"Well lets get moving then", he said to Oran. They walked up to the siltstrider, "two persons to Vivec", he said as he tossed some coins to the driver, and then he sat himself down in the strider.

Flint Ironwood, returning to the carriage.

,,I think the old man is gone. Maybe he'll come back, maybe not." Flint spoke when he got close to the carriage again. He then looked at the guy who was waving his pickaxe around.
,,you want to get paid so we can use the road? What keeps more people like you from demanding to be paid after every single hill? Forget it, pall. We'll take the scenic route." Flint said with a lot of sarcasm in his voice.

,,Just stick to the good old paths, Fervus. Not to mention that this Highway thing would make us way too easy to track."
Flint got back on the carriage and laid on his back. He was soon sleeping while Fervus guided the carriage over to Cyrodiil.

Brianna, feeling allright

Brianna leaned back n Cerpin´s arms and soon enough she fell asleep....that was a relief for her, the pregnancy bothered her a lot now. She smiled in her sleep......Cerpin just had tried to protect her, he knew she was a bit afraid of the vampire.....

Everything was going to be ok now.......

Serene

Serene was just contemplating.....there were still a threat towards Bree......or rather her offspring, and she hadn´t the faintest idea why, that bothered her. As she was pondering about this she thought she heard something in the woods

Are we being followed by someone?

No.....it´s probably some animal, but she couldn´t get rid of the feeling of being followed

When Serene found out they were supposed to go the longer and scenic way to Cyrodiil, she had objections to it, due to Brianna´s condition

"Ah Flint! We can´t take that road....are you aware of its condition? If we go that way we´ll probably have to stop half-way to let Bree have her baby! No we´re going the faster way.....by all means

Cerpin

Amazed at the fact that Brianna could fall asleep standing up, he just stood still for a moment, holding her up.

Before even a minute had passed, he began to get tired of supporting her, so he gentyl picked her up and set her inside the carriage.

He came back out and walked up to Serene.

"Serene, could I talk to you before we go anywhere?" he asked, cutting off her conversation with Flint.

Flint, annoyed.

,,Oh, alright. I'll pay the first guy so we can use the road, but I'm definitely not going to pay for every little hill we pass." Flint grumbled when he was awoken by Serene. The carriage got on the Highway and Flint took out his money. If things kept going like this, he could forget about retiring.
,,There, better?" He asked once the carriage was on the road and began moving again.

Random Letter

A letter slowly twirled from the sky gently landing and opening in Flint's lap. It read:

Dear Flint: Thankyou for using my highway, you should only have to pay at the start and end of it. Having fun following the group? Hope so. Tell Telina that my Apprentice Oran has met her son in Morrowind and they are planning together to take out the "Fake" Archmagister. Tell everyone I said hi.

Your friend in theivery: Lord Arygon.

Flint Ironwood, seriously surprised.

,,Well call me Tiber Septim. What do we have here?" Flint muttered as he picked up the letter and began to read. The first news was nice. At least he didn't had to constantly pay up. Then came the news about Telina's son and this Oran. And of course the end. LORD Arygon?

,,Right, listen up everyone. I just received a letter from someone who we all thought was death." Flint said and began to read the letter. The only bit he left out was 'your friend in thievery'. Seriously, they all knew Flint's profession by now but that didn't meant he had to tell them all the time.

,,Yeah, and hi to you. Geez, you just keep surprising people all the time." Flint muttered and laid back to continue his interupted sleep.

Sasal

There is never any real peace for me, is there? sasal thought. he had reached Haafingar, taking off on a raft he had taken from a nearby fishermans shack. The nordic fisherman had chased him, yelling "You filthy rat, ill teach you to steal me boat!" The nord had hopped on the boat, armed with a nordic silver axe, swung at sasal's neck. Sasal turned around at caught the axe with his right hand. With and empty smile, he caught the axe and thrusted the axe hilt into his stomach, using his momentum to throw him the other way.

Should i stop at winter hold and skaal? or should just head straight for Port telvanni sasal thought. With a sigh, he said "Well... i have a few days to think about it"

OOC: OMG....were they standing??? but you handled it clever, my my

Serene

Serene turned to Cerpin
"Ok mylord" she said with a grin, "I´m at your service, what´s on your mind?"

Oran

They arrived at Vivic, and Oran was noticeable lost looking around at the cantons. "So...the arch-magister is here?" Oran stepped off the wooden platfrom looking over at the buildings.

OOC: I suppose I'll have him act lost

Cerpin

He waited until the rest of the group got far enough away before answering.

"It's about your daughter."

Haldin.

"Nono...the Arch-Magister is in Sadrith Mora...but we're not going to kill him...I just said that my motehr could have him removed with but a snap of her fingers".

He nodded for Oran to follow him down to the docks, therre he said. "Two persons to the tower of lord Fyr...and make it quick", he entered the boat and gave some money to the boatsman.

Flint Ironwood, 'scouting ahead'.

Flint woke up from one of the (rare) bumps in the road.
,,Wha? We're still in Skyrim? This thing is just so slow." He muttered and hopped off the carriage so he could stretch his legs. He took out Telina's map and inspected it. He'd never been to Cyrodiil before and his knowledge was sketchy at best.

,,Hmm, I think I'm going to scout ahead while you guys roll along." He spoke and jumped off.

Three jumps later, he landed in a place called Bruma. He strolled along for a bit and eventually began talking to the first non-Nord person he encountered. The Khajitt's name turned out to be J'Ghasta and after a few small lumps of 'sweet candy' switched owners, Flint learned out that the lovable fellow seemed to have a few meetings with the infamous Dark Brotherhood. Since Flint was such a nice guy, J'Ghasta offered to sell him a dark hooded cloak he took from one of the assassins.

Flint bought the hood which was nicely enchanted and next dropped in at the local clothier where he managed to get his armour covered up again and back to its normal appearance, with the only exception that he'd added the cloak to his outfit.

He spent the next few hours sunbathing on top of a roof while watching how the carriage slowly came closer. Flint drank some more from his bottle of brandy and smiled.
,,Doing nothing but sitting on a roof drinking. Now this is the good life. Cheers."


(Long live the UESP. Um, I do believe that hoods come with a cloak. If not, he added it at the clothier. )

Serene

"Brianna??, what about her?" Serene watched Cerpin.....carefully, there was something here, which she couldn´put her finger on.....something weird..

Cerpin

"You see," he began, putting his gloved hand on her shoulder. "She will be hard to kill when there is so much suspicion aimed at this body."

Before Serene could react, he used his glove's enchantment to make the switch.

He loved the fact that there were three souls and only two bodies. He figured that Serene and Rahvin would be struggling for control of Rahvin's body while he sat comfortably in Serene's. The only flaw in his plan was the fact that Serene had his right glove.

He realized this when his freed soul couldn't enter Serene's body. In a panic, he tried to enter Rahvin's body, bu t it was already occupied...

Rahvin

Rahvin felt a strange tug, knowing that it meant his body was open, he said a quick 'see you later' to Sadril before leaving to regain what was his.

He opened his eyes and looked at his hand that was on Serene's shoulder.

"You didn't tell me you were going to take over Serene's body, you bastarde!" he shouted, not knowing that Cerpin had failed in the attempt.

Fervus Noctus, interrupting!

Fervus heared Rahvin shout.
,,Taking over bodies? Who is taking over bodies here?" He said in a thunderous voice and stood up while letting go of the reins. The horses got scared of his voice and tried to run, but he almost casually put them to sleep for the moment.

Fervus picked up his Daedric staff and stepped off the carriage.
,,Now who is taking over bodies here?" He repeated.

Serene....being taken over....almost

Serene felt the attempt ov another soul trying to take over her....but it was just an attempt....the soul couldn´t get inside her..

Then she realised what Cerpin had just said......Kill Brianna?

""Kill Brianna? Never! Over my dead body" Serene said sharply, then realising it was....Rahvin that stood beside her, the real Rahvin......But then....where were Cerpin then? was his unhappy soul floating in the void?

Poor Brianna.....she loved him..but then again he was going to kill her.....what will become of her now?

Serene turned to Rahvin:

"Now what???" she asked dryly

Fervus Noctus, umm...yeah.

Fervus stepped in closer.
,,Now what is all this about taking over bodies? I do hope it is important for I had to stop the whole carriage for it." He told Rahvin in a deep and somewhat frightening tone.
,,I do believe that it is in our best interest if I don't have to run after the facts here."

Rahvin

"Shut up, skully, I'm trying to think." he said, waving his hand as if telling the lich to shoo.

"So if you're Serene, and I'm Rahvin, where the hell is the impostor?"

Cerpin

Damn, I forgot that I gave her the glove. he thought to himself, but he could wait. He was sitting comfortably in someone's head as Rahvin had done, but he wasn't going to try to communicate with his host; it was best to stay unnoticed.

OOC: I'm not going to say who he's in, just because I don't know either. I figure we can leave it open if we ever need him again.

Fervus Noctus, dealing out punishment.

,,Skully? Ahem, I beleive someone here needs to learn some manners." Fervus responded and knocked Rahvin on the head with his staff. He did make sure he didn't injure the man.
,,We've played around enough. I'm going to get the carriage moving again." He muttered and woke up the horses, took the reins and got moving again.

Serene

"Exactly my question as well!, He tried to get into me but he didn´t succeed....and I have a fairly good idea why"
Serene smiled.."now Mr Rahvin, what are you up to ? How do we handle Brianna? She thinks you love her and that was Cerpin´s deed......remember she´s pregnant.....she can´t take too much you know!"

Rahvin

"What do you want me to do, then? Act like I love her? I'm going to have enough trouble explaining to Telina as it is and-" he paused for a second.

"You knew. You knew that someone had taken my body, and you let your daughter believe it was me. Some mother you are."

He turned and walked away from Serene and towards the carriage that was already almost out of sight. He was frustrated with Serene, but mostly just dreading all the explaining he would have to do; both to Brianna and Telina.

He noticed a glove that was on his hand, having a good idea of what it did. He took it off and shoved it in his boot.

It might be useful later.

(Alright, I'm just going to shove the lot into Cyrodiil. Speeds up things)

Flint Ironwood, Bruma.

When the carriage got close enough, Flint hopped off the building and landed on the back of one of the horses.
,,Hi, Fervey. Finally here? Welcome to Bruma, the coldest place in Cyrodiil. They've got good clothes here." He joked from the horse's back.
,,Anyway, did I miss anything while I was gone?"

Fervus Noctus, the carriage.

,,Fervey? Watch your manners, kid." Fervus responded and hit Flint on the head with his staff.
,,Now that you mention it, those two over there were yelling something at each other about taking over bodies. The man has no manners, I bet you two get along." The lich said.
,,Now move it, kid. You're obscuring my view so get off that horse."

Serene

"Will you please stop talking like that to me young man! Brianna hás told me everything, she was the one that cared for you in the first place, that healed you that showed you compassion and even love!" Serene spat
"Then what did you do? The very second that blonde bombshell showed up you immediately turned to her! You didn´t even bother about the one who saved your life! You never gave her a chance! Then when Cerpin took over your body and really showed kindness and devotion to Brianna, who was I to tell her he was an imposter??? He showed more compassion and kindness than you ever did! And I´m not even sure he would have or will kill her! "

"I´m gonna find him....for Bree´s sake, and if he´ll kill her then may it be"

Serene turned away....towards Flint and Fervus, now after she had got it all out....she didn´t want to set eyes on Rahvin for a while.

OOC: You better find a body for Cerpin, Danny......

Rahvin

"So you're going to let your daughter be killed by this...Cerpin just so she can feel loved before a dagger plants itself in her back?" he shouted after her as she walked away.

I swear, stupidity must grow on trees these days.

When he finally caught up with everyone else, he found himself in Bruma.

I just hope nobody here in Cyrodiil remembers me.

Serene, getting rather annoyed with Rahvin

Serene snarled and ran after Rahvin, grabbed his shoulder and turned him around

"If so...what do you care huh? You don´t care a bit about her anyway, so you just don´t have to interfere here!"
She ended her speach by slapping him right in his face

OOC: O_o...now she´s in trouble,,,,,

Flint Ironwood, pointing out the obvious.

,,I hate to spoil the fun for you but a whole town is watching, you know?" Flint told Serene and Rahvin. He then theatrically looked under his boots.
,,Aw man, I've got Horse dung." He scraped his boot over the ground.
,,If you two want to embarrass yourselves and get in trouble with the guards, feel free to start a fight. If not, I suggest you calm down."
