OOC: so harsh dantrag...so harsh -.-

IC: "Fine I'll accept your offer." Megil said,

not sure if this was a trick of his mind or the real Niran, but reality had little ground anymore in Megil's mind, he had nothing to lose.

Mage

"Alton!" Arcyakt said, getting his attention. "We're leaving." he said as the guild guide tleported them to Wolverine Hall. Once they were all standing in the stone castle, Arcyakt spoke.

"I have to meet a contact to give me the location of the rebels." Arcyakt lied. "And I have to go alone, or he won't give me any information. Wait for me here, I shouldn't be more than an hour or two."

He walked out of the castle before teleporting himself to his extra-dimensional home. He ran his finger along the smooth black wall as he made his way to the hall of mirrors. He looked in the mirror dedicated to Niran and saw a grave. Chuckling, he checked the others - they were still in Ald Daedroth. He could have just propelled his mind to one of the groups, but he liked being in his home. Satisfied that they were still on the island, he went into another, much larger chamber - the one that held his army of constructs. He looked at them, admiring the craftmanship of both the dwemer and himself. He would need generals to guide them though - they didn't have the mental capacity to think strategically. Osano was one, to be sure, and if he played his cards right, "Alton" would be a fine leader, he still wasn't entirely sure about York....

He shook the thoughts away, and realized that he had been planning for about half an hour. The others would be suspicious if he came in so early, so he sat in front of his mirrors, planning to enjoy a show for awhile.

York stood in the mage's guild realising he still didn't know the others well but with time he might grow to understand them all better and find their strengths. He bid Arcyact goodbye as he went to speak with the "informant".

After walking around and checking out what the mages had to offer he sat down near the supply chest waiting for Arcyakt to return,

I must prove myself to my new companions or else I'll never gain their trust...I have to put on a good show when we meet with the rebels.

York sat looking at the floor glancing at Osano and Alton now and again to see what they were doing.

(OOC: For that Dantrag, Sel is the first one to have his mind invaded. )

Niran turned to Jace.

"Just uh . . don't do anything."

Then he disappeared, taking Megil with him.

They entered another mind.

In the distance was a person, it was Sel, hardly visible through the mist.

"Shh. . ." Niran said, then he motioned for Megil to follow.

He crept up on Sel and hid behind some mist.

"Come down here and listen to his thoughts." He whispered to Megil

"We caught him thinking deeply, otherwise his form would not appear here." He continued to whisper.

OOC: he's gonna have a gollum thing going on....he's confused right now.

Megil actually killed Niran.

Was he possessed by a deity, and it isn't his fault?

He has to pay for his crime.

Or has he already paid for it? He obviously had remorse...

Hmm...Shakur is back.

Really? I like Shakur.

Yeah, he's a good guy. Megil killed Niran when the fight was ended - it was in cold blood.

Was it? Or was it a god, acting through Megil? Or maybe even Arcyakt?

So confusing...

OOC: I thought the shakur part was funny.

Then they were gone. Back in Jace's mind.

"Did you hear anything about hatred there, all I heard was confusion."

"Moving on,"

They appeared in another's mind.

However, some very dirty thoughts were running through this person's head.

"Whoops, wrong person."

They disappeared from there and appeared in Arneth's mind.

(OOC: Not many people are logged on. . . )

Konrad grinned slightly at everyone, watching them all silent in thought. He got out a small cantine and drunk from it, climbing up and sitting on a rock.

Fenris knelt in front of Niran's grave briefly, making a gesture with his hand and paying his respects, giving a short prayer to Kyne to guide his soul to the heavens, and another to Stendarr and Arkay, for mercy on the foolish boy, and for him to rest in peace. He stood when he finished. "Shame," he muttered. "You had a temper boy, but you weren't entirely bad. May you find rest and happiness in death Niran." He bowed his head in respect, and turned to walk off.

"Well, I'm Arneth, Guildmaster of the Fighter's Guild" Arneth said to Shakur with a smile handing out his hand. He looked over to Sel, It was time to get moving now. We can't stay here for much longer.

"So Sel, do you have any ideas where we should start searching for this Arcyakt?" Arneth questioned, he hadn't really followed the conversation if they had or had not started thinking about getting of this Island.

"Well, Arneth doesn't seem to be thinking about how he hates you at the moment." Niran said wryly "I don't want to stick around too long, lest we are caught. I assure you, he doesn't hate you."

They disappeared and were back in Jace's mind.

"Hmm . .who next, Konrad maybe."

Then they were gone.

Rycarin wasn't far from Ald Daedroth, only a few more minutes and he'd be there. He drew his silver shortblade (custom, of course) and got ready in case a battle would ensue.

OOC: For references, and pure fun. Rycarin's Sword

Megil watched, not very impressed with this ghost.

"alright, fine by me."

Rycarin heard voices as he approached the island. One of them seemed awfully familiar. He saw a rather large crowd, and assumed that his target was there. He stopped sprinting, and crouched behind a large rock to hide. He glanced over the rock, and noticed a very familiar figure. "It can't be.. Shakur?! What's he doing here? No wonder I couldn't find him in Balmora..", Rycarin thought to himself, clearly shocked.

OOC: More references, and more fun! Drawing of Rycarin!

Konrad finished his drink, putting it back in his pack.

That was damn good Brandy. Hey is this bag torn? I still can't believe I'm spending my days within a mile of that witch Celia. Damn it! the flin's leaking! Hmmm, tonight maybe I could get rid of that witch.....

Konrad was thinking casually as he repaired his pack, then drew his dagger and stared at Celia.

Rycarin decided that it would probably be best if he just went about casually and didn't attack anyone, since he would be outnumbered.

He stepped out from behind the rock, and walked over to the crowd.

"... G' Day.", he said and smiled. He looked at Shakur, and smirked.

Niran raised an eyebrow at Konrad's thoughts.

"We'll see about that . . ."

Then they were gone.

"Once again, nothing about you." He said to Megil.

(OOC: Jace is still in his own head, he can see Niran and Megil coming back before going to the next mind though.)

"So far you have shown me only what they are thinking at the moment, We can't see deeper into their mind,"

Megil said to the ghost, unsatisfied witht he mind probing

"So how about you die and then you can spend plenty of time foraging around people's minds. This is very pointless, it's not like showing you is going to change anything. They will think what they will think. I'm just doing this to settle your fright."

Niran snapped his fingers, and they were now in Shakur's mind.

"Why did you follow me out here Rycarin? I paid you you're money and I gave you a bonus. You helped me, I am thankful, but we agreed to no relations afterwards" Shakur was clearly irratated that the mercenary had followed him all the way to Ald Daedroth. He continued speaking after stretching his tired arms "But since you're here, you might as well take a seat on a rock some where and wait here until some action arrives".

Niran walked a little forwards, inside the mists of Shakur's mind, and stumbled over a rock that wasn't there.

Falling down, he looked around for a place to hide but couldn't find any, now Shakur would know!

OOC: Bad idea Gamer, now you'll have to deal with the Seven!

Inside of Shakurs mind

Curse stood high and tall while talking to the six other members of the Seventh that help Shakur get along in this insane world. "My brothers and sisters, it has come to my attention that intruders have entered our master's mind. Virdlev, Xcasus, I'm leaving they're deaths up to you two". The other members of the seventh were shocked, but quickly got back to more importent matters, except for Virdlev and Xcasus, the two towering Nords. They looked at the far away figures and quickly started running toward the intruders, and were infront of them within a second. They both held enourmous hammers and wore white Daedric armor and since they were in their own plain, they could do whatever they want. "Yur, Yer, you... you are going to p-pay!" stuttered Virdlev. Xcasus just nodded his head as he always did.

Megil glanced up at the two nords.

"Hello" he said cheerily, "Beautiful day out today isn't it."

Inside Shakur's mind

Reinus appeared infront of the two nords, who walked a few steps backwards. "Oh, a pleasent conversation is why you're here is it?Well, I'm Reinus, who enjoys all things conversation wise. I will talk to you instead of these wonderful Nords, due to the fact that Virdlev has trouble speaking and Xcasus is mute. Anyways it is a beautiful day today, actually, here, I'll change the plain's normal void colours of purple and black to blue, yellow and green" and with that said, the colours blue, yellow and green filled Shakur's mind. "There isn't that pleasent. Anyways, I am Reinus, who are you?".

"Oh yes, thats wonderful." Megil commented on the changing colors. "Still a bit bland if I may say so" Megils aid commenting on the emptyness of the void "Would be nice to have a few cozy armchairs, and a nice crackling fire just over there" he pointing to a bit of nothingness.

"Ah, how rude of me, my name is Megil, how do you do Reinus?"

"This is a very strange encounter, to say the least. Oh and about those two nords, not much they can do to me, I'm already dead."

Niran tapped one foot.

"Pleasent conversation, I wouldn't mind one."

"Niran," he said with a nod "Is my name."

"Well, that would be nice, but may distract us a little bit when we are telling the future, and may enter our thoughts and effect our tellings. That is why the usual colours are purple and black, which do not enter our minds and interesting and also calm us down. And in reaction to you Niran, I am sorry to hear you died. Anyways I am Reinus, Imperial." Reinus smiled, and then snapped his fingers, and with that snap everyone in the entire plain was wearing long, purple robes.

(OOC: Niran will only be wearing a long purple robe in Reinus's view, Megil will still see him as usual.)

Niran smiled

"Why? Death isn't terrible."

He snapped his fingers , and chairs appeared before them.

"Sit, sit."

OOC: sorry, double post, please read the now edited post by my before this.

Megil glanced down at his new robes.

"Oh my aren't these wonderful," Megil sat down in one of the chairs, then stood up and sat down in another chair, then stod up again and sat down in the third chair, a rather worn looking armchair.

"Yes well, what shall we converse about?"

Rycarin sat on a rock, and observed the rather peculiar crowd. He'd rather find somewhere else to sit, since he'd never liked large crowds.

Still inside Shakur's mind

"Hmm, I don't have a clue what to talk about. How about, why did you two decide to come into our master's mind?" Reinus knew why ofcourse, since this was partly his plain, but wanted to know what the nice intruders would say.

Niran sat down.

"Megil was a little confused about what the others thought of him," Niran said as a goblet of flin appeared in Megil's hand (as Niran snapped his fingers), "So I'm showing him the truth."

Still inside of Shakur's mind

"I see. Well, since you are here, tell me what you think of master Shakur. You know for laughs" Reinus was curious. Did other people think of Shakur the same way they did?

"He wears funny clothes, that about all i can say," Megil responded, drinking from the goblet that had appeared in his hand.

Still inside Shakur's mind

"Funny clothes? You mean his beautiful wolf hair robe? You know, that was the hair he bore as a wolf. Well, it's about time you should leave this place, Shakur doesn't want you here any more, and his orders are ours" Reinus snapped his fingers and him and the seven dissapeared.

Serene didn´t know what awakened her....she just opened her eyes, not seeing much in the dark chamber in which she had been asleep for a considerable amount of time. A strange uneasy feeling filled her mind...something was wrong....very wrong.

She could not hear a sound, where were all people? Her friends, the ashlanders....the shrine seemed abandoned..

So she exited the chamber and slowly walked through the dark corridor......til she reached the front door..
As she opened it she was blinded by the daylight for a second before she spotted her friends..scattered on the plain in front of the shrine.

The knowledge immediately came to her in the appearance of Niran´s mind inside her´s, she saw him and yet didn´t.....he was dead!!!....and by the hand of Megil...but she sensed something much bigger.....some great power engulfing her, and it was not the power of poor Megil....no this was much more powerful.......

Serene shivered, she gave up a faint cry, bending aside from the overwhelming power of........se gasped "Sheogorath!" She clearly felt the presence of the feared deity....

" Noooo" she whispered, and fell to her knees, "Azura, help us all"

Megil turned to Niran.

"That was awfully rude of them, the conversation didn't even last a minute." Megil said, quite irrate.

He stood up from his chair and turned to Niran,

"Well let's finish this tour then shall we, I'm quite tired of not being able to speak, and when I get a chance to they shut the door in our faces. Let's go."

Niran stood up from the chair, and they disappeared.

"Next, moving on." He didn't snap his fingers this time, however they were now in Serene's mind.

No longer in Shakur's mind

Shakur was informed by his mind of the intruders, though he would not tell anyone. Instead, he walked up to Megil's "sleeping" body, bent over and said into his ear quietly "having fun Megil? Find out any valuable thoughts? I sure did. Unlucky for you, You were in the Seven's plain, and there, they can do anything. They can trap you, they can scare you, they can read your mind. Didn't your mom ever tell you not to mess with mind reading, future telling mind deities?". Shakur stood up and walked away, taking a seat on a rock.

OOC: I've missed sooooooooooo much.

Jonacin had been standing silently in the shadows all this time, but now finally decided to walk out and rejoin the others. "Hello again Shakur, you're certainly looking none the worse for wear since our last meeting"

"It took you that long to figure that out?" Fenris asked in a scornful manner. "All this time we've been pratically siting on his doorstep, foolishly camping in this shrine." Fenris stood, walking out past Serene. "I found a longboat on the other sid eof the island, we should leave on that before the situation worsens. No need to confront the daM doG, he'll send the lot of us down the Golden Road."

He glanced at the horizon, a thunderstorm was approaching the island. Kynareth, Kyne as Nords called her, was the Aedra of wind, storms, and courage, but this storm. It was not Kyne's storm.

"Preferably quickly..."

Serene looked up, her face distorted of fear and the presence of the dead Niran´s mind....
"Fenris, do not nag at me, I´ve been past out for a coniderable amount of time, how would I know?" she said quietly

Then she saw Jonacin step out of the shadows and started crying of relief....

"Jonacin, at last" she fell into his welcoming arms.....

"damn! finaly those damn imperial mages are ariving, seeing as how i didnt report to them on the sittuation with sel, and the rest of the group after Arcyakt" mumbled sasal in relief as he sat in wait for the true cyrodillic mages to come, unlike his (formerly) newly recruited mages from ebonheart.

"By last meeting, did you mean when I had no hair or when I was covered in it?" Shakur smiled, happy to see Jonacin. "You too look pretty good too. Maybe some day you'll strike it rich with a god too, and get some bonuses" Shakur laughed, and said the sentence in a non-insulting way.

Osano sat down in a chair when Arcyakt left. He knew what the mage was doing; he was puting on a show for the newcomers. He couldn't allow them to know of his powers--not yet. Osano closed his eyes and slept in the chair.

One hour later.

Osano awoke and looked around the hall. Alton and York were still there, but Arcyakt wasn't. He stood up. "Damnit, when is that guy getting back?" he said outloud, clearly annoyed.

OOC: hope you don't mind me speeding things up a bit...

Niran stood, waiting for Serene's thought to wander to Megil.

He yawned and looked around.

sasal watched the group like a ghost as he traveled around the island waiting for the Mages and warriors of Cyrodill hoping that they wont be seen by any of the group on the island.

"i hope they dont see any of the ship inbound to this island; dont want to kill anyone now...he he he" chuckled sasal as he constantly moved around the island and waited for the arival of any imperial ships or his ordinator comrades

Rycarin observed the group. He walked over to Shakur, and poked his arm. "Hey, come here, got something to tell you.", Rycarin said casually, while keeping an eye on everyone. He pratically dragged Shakur away from the group.

"Hey, did you know that Megil has a 1 million bounty on his head? That's why I'm here.", Rycarin said, still being watchful.

Shakur looked at him as if he had three eyes. He stared at him for atleast ten seconds, until he spoke. "Megil has, 1 million? Who could put that much up? But why... no. I know what you're thinking. You can't take him, not for a million septems, not for a hundred million septems. He's mentally unfit and he's currently in possesion of someones mind. It would be unsafe to take him" Shakur was suprised about his own words. He was defending a murderer for questionable reasons. But, with a million septems split between him and the group, he could hire more mercenaries than just Rycarin and kill alot of Commona bosses.

Serene released herself from Jonacin´s safe arms....she looked for Megil....her thoughts wandered towards him..and she noticed it was easy to enter his mind.....what was dwelling inside him..something she couldn´t really grasp.......

She closed her eyes, concentrating......


OOC: so Niran..what will you do now?
