Agreed. That was very dramatic.
You got her madness just right there, not so much evil as just crazy and deluded. I suspect the coming battle will be a good one.
Also I see you've changed the title for this last(?) part.

Uh-oh. We have not only Angry Almalexia- it is also CRAZY Almalexia. Of course, Seth did kind of screw up her plans for immortality, what with destroying Lorkhan's Heart and all....
Incredible drama- and you capture the madness perfectly- as well as showing the duality of Seth-Nerevar as he/they confront their lover and betrayer.

OMG...what can I say? will it all end here? Will Seth perish for the hands of a crazy woman? I can't believe it, my hero, my friend, my soulmate....Nirn will be a gruesome terrible place without you Seth!
No..NO, he will make it! I must believe he will make it.....YES.....

Great screenies, they really add to the feel of this piece. I liked that Nerevar became stronger for the final battle, it makes his going toe to toe with one of the best swordsmen (swordswomen?) in Morrowind more believeable. I suspect his presence will wane again, but who knows what he might leave behind?
Killing Pene was unexpected, though it seems that she'll make a reappearance.
And now the mad god is dead what next for Sethyas I wonder.

Uhhhh I didn't see that coming! well well Seth, now what? And Pene.....I wonder will she come back in some mysterious shape or???

And so ends the Tribunal questline. The guard was particularly well written, he certainly added something to the piece. That he might suspect makes sense, but so doen not attacking. He knows he's either wrong or going to lose, badly. So they wait, which fits with the temple rather well.
I still wonder what loose ends he'll tie up now.

Now that I like, little deviations from the main quest keep things fresher and give this piece a little more freedom to go it's own way, and perhaps continue. A much better gift than the one in the game, and a new avenue of mystery and further plot.

“The name of the Mysterious Agent in the ‘Warp in the West’, was…Lysander Velas.”
Quite the cliffhanger. And perhaps Sethyas was not born to such uncertain parents after-all... You have me hooked for whatever comes next.

Not many leads there - but I doubt she's manipulating him. If I were to guess now I might say a visit to Cyrodiil could be on the cards, and possibly an arrest.
You've certainly managed to keep the mystery in this piece without letting up. I await the next installment.

That's not the Vanilla version, that's a mod that somebody made, based on concept art of Vivec. lol

I wonder if he'll take Pene with him to see Serene, she's a healer too so would be interested but might see through the disguise. Interesting. I suspect Pene should manage to spread some entertaining havoc in Bal Isra too.
And what next, every part you write leaves me wondering that. Good job. SGM.

I could almost feel the claws behind the words.
So I upset two women in one day, it seemed I had a knack for that.

Hilarious! Are you sure Serene is upset? well if you see it in a historical view you might be correct! And so Pene returns, hmm interesting! I can see issues coming up, but then again there might not be a problem with, as Olen said, bringing Pene to see Renie....hehe Now I wouldn't count on it!
I liked the part with Mr Lysander Velas (came to think of the fact that I first thought Thanelen Velas the arch bad guy was Seth's father!

) Now I hope for more about that!
And..as always...GREAT writing we have here..great great...

WOW!!!!! Speechless is about all I can say. Reading, reading and reading some more and I finally come to this, what I am sure will prove to be one of the many stories hidden in Mother's journal that I can't bring myself to read. Reading yours is different in a way, but I still draw some understanding of her from your writings and I also "feel" why she is drawn to you. I do know how she feels about Father but I also feel there is far more to this than meets the eye.
'Thyna
You are a wonderful writer, I am stunned and amazed at the sheer number of writers that have come together here. Each with strengths of their own and all with incredible talent. I am so happy that Treydog invited here, and also saw a way to make me a small part of it. I have begun my own quest but it will be some time before I share any of my adventures ( I have to figure out how to stay alive long enough first, lol)

I'm not sure what I can say... screenies are great (I assume you've got a fairly modded version of Morrowind) and a bit of a blast from the past and reminder of how connected the different fic worlds are here.
As ever I'm fascinated to see where this goes now, there's so many options...

I have always relied on my intuition seems I was not wrong this time either. I will wait for Mother to tell me what needs to be shared although I have her journal it appears my reticence to read it has proven to be a good thing. Thank you Uncle Seth. At least I will be a little more prepared for the conversation, expect the unexpected, or is it something that I am sensing is to come???

Beautifully shared, eloquent and yet, leaves me with as many questions. Thank you though for sharing, it does mean so much more to know how much the two of you share with each other. I do not doubt my parents love for each other and I cannot speak words of experience but somehow I know that loving two people with one heart is possible-in this it has to be....

Umm- wow? As in- you surely have stepped this up SEVERAL notches- on many levels.
Having Pene decide to "hang out" (literally until Seth made her get dressed) at Indarys Manor...
The battle with Almalexia and the "disappearance" of Nerevar
The painful, poignant heartfelt scenes with Serene- emotions so intense that they could not be spoken aloud, but only mind-to-mind
And the beautiful screen-shots!
This is altogether wonderful, my friend.

ohhhh jeez! Just found this again, gah, I looked in your sub-forum but..HERE it was, hmmm ok...
Amazing is the least I can say about this! And those screenies! Never has Serene been more beautiful, I love the way she looks, you made her exactly as I see her. The scene between Seth and her is astounding, creates a lot of questions and also reveals just enough. I love it very much.
And now....I know exactly how to move on!

Well another volume, and another great story. But where to next? East empire company suggests maybe Solstheim but not from Ebonheart, more likely the mainland I suspect. I certainly look forward to his return.
This tied together the stories well, it's amazing how well they fit given the fundemental mismatches between them.

I am embarrassed that I have not commented on the conclusion to this incredible saga- and to the entire story of Sethyas? (sniffle)- before now.
That chagrin is equalled only by the pleasure I have taken from reading your words- living through Seth's moments of triumph and pain. It is been a wonderful, whirlwind journey- one in which I am proud to see Trey playing his usual cryptic role.
Long life and happiness to you, Sethyas Velas.
And to you as well, Black Hand my dear friend.
