Serene

"Ok...I understand! You must have made some impression on her, back then, she obviously remembered you, that´s why she was hurt when you dated Telina"

Serene nodded, things usually have quite plausible explanations.

"I guess this little lady is Jadiers then?" She took up Satyana, she was light-skinned and had a clearly reddish tone in that soft hair on her head.

"The kidnapped girl was golden!" Serene suddenly remembered, "Could it be.....yes there´s a chance there´s one more daddy involved here! Rahvin do you know if Brianna was ever sleeping with an Altmer?"

"Oh yes please, give your son a name! Brianna would want that!, We will have to go to a temple for naming-ceremonies, besides we also need to get out of here pretty soon"

Rahvin

"Well, I guess I did something wrong with those two; Telina left without another word with Brianna." He laughed a bit, "I don't think it was a coincidence."

Rahvin hadn't been around Brianna enough to know who the altmer father was, but he didn't care too much anyway. He was more focused on the fact that no child of his would attend a temple naming ceremony.

OOC: Ahhh, don´t fancy the temple huh? This is gonna be interesting

Serene

"Ok....now you must follow your heart , so you can´t help how things have turned out. Anyway you are the father of my grandson, so you give him a name. I don´t know if there´s any temple nearby, if not, that ceremony has to wait."

Serene noticed Rahvins face when she mentioned the temple, the young man was obviously not very fond of the thought of a naming-ceremony, well then it wasn´t her decision anyway, the main thing was to give the baby-boy a name, otherwise there would maybe be actions taken by the divines.

"Shall we try to get out of here? I don´t feel very safe, what if Telina´s evil sister comes back,? God knows why she kidnapped one of the babies in the first place?. I still am confused why a couple of babies have caused so much violence and hatred!"

Rahvin

He left the ceremony issue unsaid; let them cross that bridge later.

"I doubt Telina's sister will be back. She got what she wanted and doesn't want to lose it. Why would she risk us catching her?"

"Besides," he said with a smirk, "You seem more interested in her brother."

OOC: Rahvin doesn't know that Telina is older than she looks, and couldn't possibly know that Haldin's her son, so he assumes that he's her brother.

OOC: Hehe..sweet! Now Serene knows Haldin is her son, but Serene also looks a helluva lot younger than she is, and she doesn´t mind a younger lover, besides it is Haldin who started the thing and Serene just takes what´s offered. Now she does really like Haldin!!!

Serene

"I hope you´re right Rahvin, that the wicked sister won´t return.....Brother???? Haldin you mean? Ahhh but...."

Serene stopped, maybe it wasn´t the right time to tell Rahvin about who Haldin really was? Maybe Rahvin would feel hurt or something, and she didn´t want that. Rahvin had proved himself to be a very good man inside, doesn´t matter he´s an assassin, he did have a heart of gold....deep inside

"Ok...yes" Serene smiled, " I do fancy Haldin, he´s very considerate and he was at the right spot at the right time. Besides I kinda need someone to take care of me for a change!"

Serene watched Rahvin.....yes he was indeed good looking, she appreciated the dunmerii features, but then again she always have had a soft spot for Dunmers.....

She had to think of something to ease u the feeding of the babies, she couldn´t force Rahvin to stay with her just because she could feed the boy....not that she´d mind being around Rahvin! Not at all....The three of them, Rahvin, Haldin and herself could make a move somewhere....with the babies of course..

Serene tried to reach Telina telepathically......where was she? And what´s happened to Brianna?

edit minque: yuck....kinda chaotic post..but you get the drill Danny huh?

Rahvin

Rahvin nodded along with what Serene was saying, only half listening.

"I think I may look for another woman willing to feed the boy." he said, "No offense, but I'm ready to leave. The center of Imperial law isn't exactly the safest place for me."

OOC:Yeah, I'm late

Haldin.

Haldin, who was still feeling rather groggy after that incident with Veric, mmanaged to get up from the chair he was sitting in. Where was Serene, had something happened to her? He ran up the stairs, only to find Rahvin and Serene in a room, discussing the babies.

"Oh thank the Divines, I thought you guys were all gone" he sighed. "What are we going to do now"?

Serene

Serene smiled at Rahvin; "Good, go ahead my friend, I'll give you some milk to get you started while you're looking!"

She turned to Haldin stretching her arms towards him;

"Sweetie, I'm ok, rahvin's gonna take care of his son now...that leaves Satyana for us to see to....until we find Brianna. Or your sweet mother! Somehow I've got the feeling telina knows exactly where Bree is and that is .....not bad I think.

Once again she turned to Rahvin;

"So what are you gonna call your son?"

Rahvin

Rahvin heard Serene's slip of tongue, but not her question to him.

"Telina is your mother?" he asked, as if the very idea was preposterous. Of course, in his mind, it was.

Flint, after diner.

The Breton had appeared in the doorframe with a huge grin on his face.
,,She sure is. Man, I bet that a lot of people would be willing to kill to look that good at her age." He said and laughed.
,,So, what's up? Did I miss anything?"



(Note: I'm in Greece for a week. Feel free to control the Breton. )

Serene

Serene smiled...of course it was hard to understand that Telina was the mother of Haldin, likewise it was hard to understand that she, Serene, was the mother of Brianna.....both Telina and Serene looked very young and beautiful considering their age!

"I think you missed my question Rahvin" Serene said "What are you gonna call your son??"

She blinked at Flint.....

Rahvin

Rahvin held up a hand towards Serene, showing that her question wasn't his first priority at the moment.

"You mean to tell me that I've been with a woman who has a son that is older than me, yet looks younger than me?"

First Sasal, now this. What else is she hiding?

He didn't wait for an answer. "I'm going to get some fresh air." he informed the group before walking outside.

Serene

Serene sighed, she felt somewhat sorry for Rahvin, but then again.....he was the father of her grandson, and thus at least once felt something for Brianna, who really is as young as she looks like!

"Yes my friend, I'm afraid that it is the cruel truth"

She looked at him as he left the room, then she took her grandson in her arms and looked thoroughly at him; He indeed resembled Rahvin! There was so much Dunmer in this boy that there wasn't anything else visible in his features.

She turned to Haldin; "I'm sure he'll get over it!" She smiled "Look at you, you're with a woman considerably older and that doesn't bother you!, right?"

Haldin
"Of course I don't... age have little to say for love, and as for Rahvin, well if he really loves my mother, I'm sure he will accept it".

And before Haldin could think of it or even plan anything he kissed Serene. (awwwww )

Rahvin

Rahvin stood leaning against the wall of the inn, breathing in the cold air of Bruma. It was somewhat warmer than the weather in Skyrim, though, and for that he was grateful.

He took the time to think through all of his current issues. He had the issue of Telina's deception, the fact that he was a father, and the fact that his son was obviously being hunted by someone. Or something.

He kicked some snow ahead of him in frustration, but the feeling was soon gone, and replaced with an odd sense of purpose. How could he be standing here, just waiting for someone to take his son like they had taken the altmer girl? He was putting less important things over his son's safety, and thought that Serene and Haldin were guilty of the same.

He strode back into the room, without respecting or noticing Serene and Haldin's need for privacy. He took his unnamed son out of his crib and announced, "I'm leaving."

OOC: moving things along a bit.

Flint Ironwood, saying goodbyes.

The Breton waved at the assassin.
,,Don't let me hold you here. Just take care of the little creature, ok?" He said with a cheerful voice. He then walked to the window and gazed up at the sky.
,,So this is Cyrodiil. The sky just isn't the same here. I think I'm going home to High Rock. If you ever visit a little town called North Point, don't hesitate to say hi." He told Rahvin. He then dug into his pockets and brought out a bottle of Flin that had miraculously survived the whole ordeal.

He scooped a few cups from the table and poured the liquid into them.
,,Well, let's have a toast. To the future!" He exclaimed after he'd handed out the filled cups. He raised his and drank.

Serene

Serene let go for a short while, just enjoying the kiss from Haldin, it felt good to be kissed and to be in the strong arms of a handsome man again, it had been so long since this had happened the last time....too long in fact.

Athyn! forgive me! I´m not meant to be alone....why did you have to leave me behind? I´d never stop loving you, but this young man has got right into my heart.....please do not condemn me!

She then noticed Rahvin come into the room, obviously ignoring Haldin and herself, which made her smile faintly.The young dumner went straight to the crib and took his son in his arms saying; "I´m leaving"

Serene got out of Haldin´s arms and grabbed a leather satchel before she ran after Rahvin

"Hey! Rahvin, you forgot this! It´s milk for the baby, a week´s supply...yesss I prepared it so it won´t be destroyed!"

She caught up on him, grabbing his arm, and whispered in his ear:

"If you ever need help, magic help for you or the baby....just contact me telepathically, you know how!"

Then she let go of him, wondering when she´d see them again.....yes when..not if!

Rahvin

Rahvin nodded a silent thanks for Serene's offer, but doubted he would ever take her up on it. He liked to think of himself as self-sufficient.

He was thankful that nobody was asking about his destination or his child's name (which he had decided on a good while ago) anymore. He decided not to tell anyone that information, so that they couldn't possibly give away any information about his son. Not that they would, he just wanted to be extra careful.

He grabbed the satchel containing the milk and slung it across his shoulder. "Until next time." he said, not expecting that next time to come in this lifetime.

Not one for long good-byes, he left the room, closing the door behind him. He left the inn next, and then the town Bruma, heading south with his son on Cerpin's abandoned horse.

Flint Ironwood, watching Rahvin go.

,,There he goes. I hope that he'll be alright. Nah, I'm sure he will be. He would have been death by now if he didn't know how to take care of himself." Flint commented. He put down the empty cup and climbed out of the window.
,,Well, I guess I'll be leaving myself. Good luck to you with the baby and each other. Who knows, we might meet again someday. Just remember, I'll always be in High Rock when you need me."

The Breton turned to the northwest. He took a deep breath before casting his favourite spell. He shot off into the sky, soon nothing more than a tiny dot on the horizon.



(Now it's just Serene and Haldin. )

Salina, unkown castle, unknown province

Salina sood and watched the aged castle. Yes it would be perfect, and better yet Telina would noteven imagine looking for her here at all places. She hufed as she drew her cloak tighter around herself and the little girl, and walked into the castle, while a blizzard was raging outside...no doubt Telinas work, she always had good control of the elements.

She looked around. It had been years since she had last been here, the time Telina and herself wer5e still friends...still sisters. A tear silently crept out of her eye as she put the little girl to sleep in a crib, tucked in in warm blankets....soon she would start training the girl.

Telina, raging on

Telina cursed, as she put another safehouse she believed Salina could have been in to the torch. SHe hated her sister for what she had done, to rob a innocent child away like that, but then again she had made enemies now...powerful enemies...and perhaps Cassius could find her, after all finding people who didn't want to be found was something Cassius was rather good at.

Fervus, meet me outside Ghostgate in Morowind, I need your help with tracking that cursed woman down, Telina sent out telepathically to Fervus, hoping the message would reach him...wherever he was.

She sat down outside Ghostgate, to any travveler it would seem she was meditating, but in real, she was searching the lands, trying to locate the magical aura of her sister, after all Salina was a most potent sorceress, highly skilled in the dark arts, so her aura would easily be rockognised.

Fervus Noctus, Cross-continental.

Fervus nodded, despite the fact that telepathic communication didn't need such body language.
,,I'm on my way." He sent back. An Almsivi intervention later, and he was standing in Balmora. A sudden gust of wind blew away his hood, revealing the bare skull underneath.

,,An undead! Banish it!" Fervus shook his head.
,,Living people are so shortsighted." He thought as he paralyzed everyone within view. Once the crowd had calmed down a bit, he began his mark, recall routine. Several teleportations later, he arrived at Ghostgate with his hood covering his bony features once more.

,,Any luck? My search of Argonia came up empty though I have to tell you that it takes literally ages to check every nook and cranny there."

Telina, concentrating.

Telina sighed in relief when fervus told her that he was coming. A few moments later he stood before her. "No...I havent found her...yet". She sighed, before she opened her eyes.

"I have tried to search for her magical aura, but with the wast masses of Tamriel, it can take several years..and there is also the possibility that she can be in Akavir, but I'm not sure...however, I have created a list over possible locations she can use...but sadly, me and Salina adventured for many years, and every place have wards that prevent any form off magical transportation within 50 miles...and sadly the list is over 1000 places, scattered around Tamriel...so which province do you suggest we start with"?

OOC:After Telina and Fervus head off, I think they are ready for the fast forward at least...after all, we know they are travveling now.

Fervus Noctus, deciding.

,,Cyrodiil. It is an unlikely place to be what with the large population and close proximity to Bruma. That's why we shouldn't be looking there. I can tell from my own experience that whatever I'm looking for is at the place where I wouldn't look. So it is Cyrodiil." The Lich decided. He turned around again and watched the sun.
,,It's getting late though. Do you want to rest perhaps? I have no need for sleep but you might have."

Serene

Serene looked at the door through which Rahvin had disappeared, knowing in her heart that the boy would do fine with his father, her only concern was that she never found out his name, Rahvin wouldn´t tell. Then again it could be a measure of protection, the fewer who know his name, the better!

She sighed and started making a satchel for the baby-girl so she could carry her tight to her own body, for safety-reasons but also for the convenience of having her arms free....

She wrapped the beby in soft netch-leather and tightened the construction tightly to her chest, turning to Haldin, gently stroking his chin she said:

"Dearest, are you coming with me?"

Without waiting for a reply she slowly went outside and started walking eastwards, towards Morrowind and Vvardenfell, her last homeland.


"Athyn, will you let me come home again?"

OOC: Only Tellie knows the whereabouts of Brianna........ If I´m gonna write some concluding post about her I´ll need to know that!

Haldin, following.

"Sure", Haldin said as he walked beside her out of the inn...towards Morrowind.

Brianna, in Telina´s secret hideout, DagothUr(!)

Brianna opened her eyes, feeling a bit dizzy, but all in all pretty well considering what she´s been through. She hadn´t the faintest idea where she was, but the room was nice and cozy.....bookshelves covered the walls, some alchemical equipment could be seen on a big table....

Brianna crawled out of her comfortable bed and started to explore the room, somehow she had no memory of who she was or why she was here or what happened to her. She was like a newborn child, her entire past was gone, but she did not really care, this was a nice place and she soon found some books that looked interesting.

Funny thing though.....there was some food on the table as well.....freshly made as it seemed but she had not noticed anyone entering the room. Not even that bothered her she sat down and started eating.

"How nice to read a book eating dinner" she thought with a happy smile........
