"You might want to check all the caves and dens, he's probably sleeping now". Shakur laid down to sleep. After a few minutes, he drifted off to sleep. He once again saw the refugees yelling and screaming at the object, but this tume, he ran away from the crowd. they followed and so did the object. Their words were getting slured and slower, until they started talking backwards. "To reveal the awnswer! Kill the innocent!".

It was nearly sun-up when Celia woke up. She groaned as she got up, rubbing her eyes. She glanced around. "Hey, where's Arco and Mister Knight?"

She took out a piece of bread from her sack and chewed. As she did so, her hands covered the amulet and gripped it tight. "Now to figure this thing out..." Perhaps if she willed it really hard....

Konrad awoke from his sleep. Getting out his laptop he loggd into the forums. "Aaahhh I can drag her around...." He got up, walking over to the strange altmer. Bending his knees a bit, he dragged her to the river, throwing her in. (sorry.....)

(OOC: Er, that's not what I meant... More like she's wherever you guys go kind of thing. She's just... there. Besides, it's not Monday just yet...)

[Sorry...it was sarcasm. I thought you might have guessed with a laptop in morrowind....are you blonde by any chance?

Jonacin woke up after a much needed rest. Looking around, he noticed that Falx and Arco were missing. "Where in oblivion are Falx and Arco gone?"

Arco and Falx had searched through the woods, only finding a few bodies of dead farmers attacked by the demons. But Sel was not to find, not even in the caves. The sun had rised up and it beems was piercing through the high trees...

"Maybe its time to head back... Sel is a smart Dunmer, he can take care of himself and if he wants to leave us its up to him" Arco said, as he knew it to well as he satt down by a tree looking up at Falx, who was scanning through the woods looking for Sel...

(OOC:bad busy, please to control Arcyatk as the soldier and NOT THE MAGE until i get back...

no dismemberment please! )

OOC: Sorry about the posting problem, my computer bugged out.

Sel had seen Falx and Arco a few minutes ago, and did well in hiding. He watched them go, and went perpindicular to that direction.

He was chewing on some comberries he had found growing wild, reflecting on what he had done. Why had he seen the mysterious altmer's face on the soldier? Celia was a high elf, would he see the mage's face on her too? What might he see in the others? The fact that he had reacted so violently was the reason he left. He didn't want to actually kill one of his friends by accident. once he was free from his friends searching for him, he decided to try to find out what was wrong...maybe the mage had put a spell on him, maybe he actually was losing his mind. So be it.

OOC: sorry i skipped you red, but it took you over 7 hours to actually post...

Shakur looked at Celia. "Before you find out how to use that thing, allow me to come with you. I want to talk to him about the... incident we had with the altmer".

Celia nodded and smiled. "You're welcome to come with me, mister Redguard (Shakur)..." She rubbed the cold surface of the amulet. Remembering Sel's words, she reached a hand onto the Redguard's arm. "Sorry if you don't like to touched, but I have to keep you in contact with me....You know?"

She closed her eyes and tried to focus all her willpower and a bit of magic onto the amulet. Her arms felt tingly and her hairs on the back of her neck rising. She opened her eyes and saw the amulet glowing dimly. "Hey, I think it's doing something..." she whispered excitedly. Suddenly, before she could blink, she and Shakur were standing in a forest area in front of a familiar Dunmer face.

"Aw, Sel!" Her heart about to burst with happiness, Celia hugged Sel tightly. "I'm never letting you ever again!"

"Arco! Did you hear that? It sounded like Celia!" Falx peered down the long corridors of tree's.

"This way!" Falx took off, surpisingly fast in his Steel Armor

(OOC: Sorry, I've been really busy for the last couple o' days)

Sel tore Celia off of him, gripping her hsoulders tightly.

"What were you thinking?" Sel asked, trying to sound angry. "Did you ever think that I might have wanted to be alone?" Sel paused for a moment.

"Look, I almost killed an innocent elf because my mind saw something that wasn't there. What might I see in you one day? Or Shakur? Or any of the others? I don't want any of you dying because of my insanity."

Sel snatched the amulet out of Celia's hand. "Wh-what?" Sel asked no one in particular as he touched the amulet - It was warm again.

"You're not insane, you may have been right to try to kill that elf for all we know. He could be decieving us. His name is Sir. Noin, which sounds very imperial. Any ways, we all want you to come back, we... all of Cyrodiil needs you! Imagine what you would do to the prophicy if you denied yourself access into it!" Shakur was almost afraid of the notion of Sel leaving. How could they live without him?

Arco followed Falx, as they ran out of the woods and ended up seeing Celia and Shakur talking to Sel, who had taken the amulet...

Arco rushed in and stepped in between Celia and Sel, looking straight at Sel... "Damnet! Try to calm down for one freaking moment" Arco cried out. He took a step back, Arco wasn't there when Sel stabbed his sword into the Altmer "What is going on here?"

Shakur looked at Arco, as if thinking "Calm down? Are you just guessing the current situation?". Shakur pointed at Sel "Sel thinks he's insane, but I think there's much more to do with this elf than being an innicent bystandard".

*a few hours earlier*

Konrad awoke sleepily, the remnants of a nightmare still reverbarating around his skull. He scannned the surrounding field, and finding no-one he sighed, standing up and strapping on his sword belt. He wondered where everyone had gone, then remembering something about a forest he hijacked Celia's horse and charged off into the woods.

Hours later he found the not o merry band and fell off his horse next to them, wheezing.

"Hello everyone."

As Konrad came rushing in, Celia just stayed quiet, stunned. Her eyes filled up with tears and she whispered quietly, "Sel, you're not going insane." She smiled sadly. "If you were going insane, you would have killed me the moment we met..."

Jonacin woke up suddenly. He must have drifted off at some point. He looked around, but all of the group were gone except himself and Serene, who was still sleeping peacefully. "Hello? Where are you guys? Celia? Shakur? Konrad? Arco? Falx? Anyone?????" he called out.

"Please, everyone calm down for a moment." Falx asked of them, "Though I think looking for Sel was a good idea, I do not like the fact that Sir Noin is alone in our camp with Jonacin and Serena..."

"Sel your not crazy, well maybe you are cause you did let in that freak of a bosmer," Falx laughed, "But reguardless, so far you have been a trustworthy allie, and a great friend." He turned to everyone, "We all have a goal, and I do not believe that it is attainable without all of our strength.. Who agrees?"

Serene woke up by Jonacin calling....

"What? jonacin...what´s happening? where are the others?

"I agree" Shakur continued "and I am happy someone other than me believes us meeting is more than a coincident".

[quote=minque]Serene woke up by Jonacin calling....

"What? jonacin...what´s happening? where are the others?[/quote]
"I don't know. The only ones here are me, you, Fenris and that Sir Noin guy. How are you feeling?"

(OOC: Sorry, slow computer!)

Celia nodded happily, though her eyes were still misty. "I agree, Sel has been a good friend to us for too long..." She wiped her eyes with her skirt and glanced at Shakur. "And yes, our meeting up was more than a coincindink, I think."

Suddenly, she remembered Channler's words and her eyes widened. "Oh, no! Serene and Jona, and Mister Nord, too! I left them behnind!" She asked the group, "Should I go find them? It's my fault I left them without telling them where I was going..."

"Maybe we should go back, they might be worried about us".

"Yeah... lets go" Arco demaned before he started walking back where he last saw Serene and the others...

"They´ll find us" Serene thought as she rose to her feet, wiping the dust off her cloak. "I wish I had something to eat, I´m hungry" she addressed Jonacin, " Do you happen to know where we can find some food?"

"I seem to recall passing an inn on the way out of the city. Wanna go eat? i'm sure we'll be back before the others come back for us, wherever they went" said Jonacin

Never mind.

"Aww what are we waiting for? Serene urged Jonacin to come with her ......I´m practically starving now!

[quote=Red]"An inn sounds like heaven after sleeping in building rubble" Shakur joked.[/quote]
OOC:When did Shakur get back to us? i thought he was still out in the woods with the others

"Ok Serene, calm down" said Joonacin with a grin, "let's go raid that inn for food". Upon that, he swept her off her feet and began carrying her into the city. "If you're starving i better carry you lest you collapse" he said with a laugh

OOC: sorry, thought you were someone else :embarrassed:

I'll edit my post.

Also is that romance I see Jonacain?

[quote=LoneWolf]

"Ok Serene, calm down" said Joonacin with a grin, "let's go raid that inn for food". Upon that, he swept her off her feet and began carrying her into the city. "If you're starving i better carry you lest you collapse" he said with a laugh[/quote]

"Ahhh" Serene leaned back in Jonacin´s arms....."why thank you for your aid" she said but you really don´t have to carry me..hmmm but I kinda like it so..


She looked around to see if she could spot the inn...her stomach grumbled and she giggled at the soud of it

OOC: Lol Jonacin brings out the romantic in me sometimes

Jonacin laughed as Seren's stomach rumbled loudly. "Sound like i should start running" he said with a grin, before breaking into a jog

OOC : That´s very nice..I like it, it doesn´t hurt with a bit of romance in this RP!

Serene clung tighter to Jonacin as he started to run along the street, she got a warm fuzzy feeling with his arms around her.

"Jona! I smell it now" she exclaimed. food! I smell burning cook-fires....ahhhh meat, ash yam.....oooohhhhh" we must be close now..

Jonacin luahged. "The inn is just around this corner ahead of us." he said to her. rounding the corner he slowed to a walk. He walked up to the door of the inn and put Serene down again so he could open the door. "After you, m'lady" he said with a grin and a bow

" Thank you mylord!" Serene smiled at Jonacin and entered the inn.It was a typical cyrodiilic inn, a large room with wooden furniture, a counter, nice checkered tablecloths....and the smell from the kitchen was hilarious, meat, ash-yam-stew, freshly made bread....

Serene walked to a table and Jonacin took out the chair for her and bade her to sit down. She very much liked the courtesy og Jonacin and not only that, she had gotten quite warm feelings for him now and hoped he felt something for her as well...

"Come sit by me she said..the barkeep won´t be long..look he´s coming!

Jonacin sat by Serene, enjoying the closeness. He laughed at her childlike excitement at the prospect of food. When the barkeeper came over, her ordered some steak (OOC: I'm assuming they have cows.....) with fried ash yams and boiled marshmerrow (OOC:i'm inventing random foods here lol ) He turned to Serene and asked her what she wanted

OOC: I guess you're right, there is room for love in RP's. I remember that in an old RP my vampire was trying to get close enough to someone to bite them.

Shakur picked up some nearby berries. "I feel sorry for the people back at the city, they probably have no food at all. Maybe we should bring some back to them".

Sel nodded to show Shakur he agreed as he started collecting berries.

He turned to the others. "Look I know you won't leave me be, so I will come along - one one condition." He said, taking off his sword belt. "Someone has to keep this safe and out of my hands. That way I won't be stabbing people to death when my mind plays a trick on me."

OOC: lol....minque's husband is gonna kill lonwolf

OOC: I don't think he needs to worry, there's a fairly large age difference LOL

OOC: yes let´s go for romance! And I think they´ll have some meat-animals!

"Oh I´ll have some of that meat as well" Serene said...and ashyam...,oh and those green things marshmerrows are delicious..I´ll have some of them as well....and..and bread!!! I must have bread, please say that you have bread" she looked at the barkeep demandingly

"M´kay lad, i´ll see what can be made" the barkeep responded.

Serene sat very focused on the chair eagerly waiting for the food


"Oh and mazte..we must have mazte!" she called out

"Wow Serene, you really are hungry. Just promise you wont start eating the table if he takes more than five minutes with our food" Jonacin said with a laugh. "And if you stare much harder, the table is going to catch fire or something, what with all that magic you have in you"

Celia clapped her hands. "Hooway, Sel's coming with us!" She started bouncing up and down, extremely happy. She snatched the sword belt. "If you say so, no sword belt for you!" She grinned and skipped towards the city, plucking berries every so often and putting them into her sack.

Serene bowed her head and smiled....."Don´t worry I won´t summon a barkeep loaded with food..no way i couldn´t because my magica depends on the state of nourishment.....so no food..no magic..ot at least bad and weak magic..."

Oh but now he´s coming with our mazte....cheers to you sweet Jonacin, we´ve been through a lot together lately and I say we stick together in the future as well......now I´m also a bit worried about those other guys who were with us....that sweet mer, Celia.....wonder what´s happened to them....

Shakur smiled. "Happy to know we'll have you back. I still think you should consider yourself sane. because if you think you are, you are. Anyways I think I might go ahead and look for any animals carrying meat". Shakur sped up a bit, and drew out his sword. "I hope I can find meat, I don't want to seem like I'm not pulling my weight around here".

"I'm sure she's fine, she has all those big burly men to protect her. And cheers" he added, raising his Matze before downing it all in one long swallow. "I never realised how thirtsy i was" he said with a laugh, "I better get some more"

Serene was quite happy now....sitting here with Jonacin, drinking mazte, waiting for food and also being convinced that the others just had to be ok....


" Ok let´s have some more then, " she said despite the fact that that one mug of mazte already had made her a bit dizzy....

Konrad stood up on Celia's horse shakily, glad she hadn't noticed it was her own. Waiting carefully, he jumped up and grabbed onto a nearby branch. Hauling himself up, he say a massive cliffracer nest high in the tree. Sensing no animals around he stalked his way up, though the climb was tricky and dangerous. "I can reach it..." He grasped onto the nest, but his hand fell through the weak structure and he lost his footing. Falling from the great height he put out his left arm to stop himself then with a sickening crack he landed, the bone of his left arm poking its way out of the muscle and skin.

"AAAAGH" He screamed the pain burning into his arm. "Help!Help!"
