OOC: time speed up,

IC: Megil woke up, it was a few hours before dawn. He looked down at himself and saw he was covered in mud and blood.

It had not been a dream, he really had killed Niran.

Then Megil began to cry, a sorry sight. kneeling on the daedric stone, caked in dried mud and blood, with tears streaming down his face.

What's happening to me

Sel answered Arneth in three words. "Megil killed him." he said solemnly.

He put Niran's sword into its sheath and walked around the island searching for Megil. He soon found him curled up and crying. Sel found that he didn't care.

"You have to pay for what you did, Megil." Sel said flatly.

Megil looked up at Sel,

"It was an accident, I didn't mean to kill him." He looked into Sel's eyes, then Megil recoiled as if hot coals had been poured on him "No, Sel don't" and held his hands out in front of his face, as he kicked trying to crawl away.

Konrad spotted Megil, a threatening Sel, and a sword strapped to Sel's belt and ran over. "Sel! Don't kill him!" he cried out, drawing his sword. He wasn't sure of the situation, but he didn't want another death.

Sel ignored Konrad and yelled at Megil.

"Accident? You killed a man! What part of that was an accident?" he asked. He would give Megil the chance to explain before acting rashly.

"I....I don't know, I don't remember all I know is that he wasn't meant to die, I don'know. I don't know." he said in a desperate plead.

Of course you know said the voice in the back of his head Or do you not remember thinking "i'll kill him, i will"

"please get out of my head," megil said in a whisper.

Of course you are innocent, I made you do it, I did it it said.

"get out, GET OUT. GET OUT OF MY HEAD I SAY!" megil yelled.

Sel raised an eyebrow. Maybe he would be doing Megil a kindness by killing him?

He glanced behind him, just to see where Konrad was, so he could defend himself if the boy decided to attack.

He drew his two swords...

OOC: needsome reactions, of course.

Konrad rushed to Megil's side, ignoring his lunatic ramblings. "Sel. I respect you but... How do you think Celia would feel if she had known you had done this? Killed a man in cold blood, and maybe a child as well?" he asked, raising his sword up to a defensive position above Megil and drawing his dagger. He held it so the blade pointed to the floor with his left hand.

"I wouldn't be the cold-blooded killer in this instance." he said to Konrad. "That would be the one you are protecting."

Sel did sheath his swords though. "If you want him alive, you are now his care-taker. You will tie him up and you will make sure that nobody else in this group is hurt because of him."

With that, he walked away. Megil was insane, that much was obvious. Who knew what a crazy mer could try to do? If he wasn't tied, the group just might suffer another death.

Konrad growled, watching Sel walk away. He glanced down at Megil. "By the looks of it, it looks like it was a fight.. thats not cold blood!" he shouted at the Dunmer, sheathing his sword also. "And Niran probably started it anyway!" he cried out. HE walked away from Megil, after Sel. "What do you think I am? Your slave? I'm not tying him up, I'm tired." he told him, sheathing his dagger.

"If you don't, he dies." Sel said casually. "If he isn't tied, someone else may suffer for it. You saw his outburst - he's insane. Now you either do as I say, or he dies."

OOC: Now he follows the posting rule. *grumble*

Megil stood, and began walking towards the shore, ignoring Sel and Konrad. His eyes lost the flicker of madness, and upon reaching the beach removed his clothing and went out to bathe taking his clothing along so that he could wash it too.

OOC: there better

Otik woke up and saw Sel and Konrad arguing and stood up.He dug into his sack and found some Guar jerkey and started chewing on it, and walked over to Niran's grave and stared looking for Megil.

Konrad laughed. "And din't see you rushing to strangle Celia when she was possessed. That seems what Megil is now. And Celia's beating him in number of possessions by Gods, by the way." he told him, bringing up Celia a lot in their conversation.

"When Celia was possessed, she didn't hurt anyone, much less kill them." he said, now understanding what Konrad was trying to do. "And besides, I wasn't even there." he said. He had been finding his father....

Konrad laughed. "Yeah, Hircine was really friendly. Can't we give Megil a second chance?" he asked, wondering why he was sticking up for a murderer.

"Yes, we can give Megil a second chance - tied up." Sel answered. "Hircine didn't even possess Celia, he only wouldn't let her take a potion. We got Hircine out of Celia, and we will do the same for Megil, but until we succeed, he will have to be tied up so he doesn't kill anyone else."

He left Konrad and walked into the shrine - the others had to know the news.

Megil washed himself and then began to wash the crud of his clothes. seeing that the clothes were horribly damaged he called a sylph.

"Take these to my mother and get me a new set."

The sylph did so and brought megil a new set of clothing, he stepped out of the water, put the new clothes on and walked back to the shrine.

Sel slowly walked towards the place where Serene and Celia were sleeping.

"Celia..." he said quietly to wake her up.

Konrad followd Sel, lagging behind. He glanced back at Megil getting out of the water, then caught up with Sel just as he was waking Celia up. He snorted slightly, but covered it with a cough.

"Well Megil... If your beeing possessed you will agree that Sel has a point, either if we tie you up or what ever from keeping you do more damange..." Arneth added to the conversation, cold blooded murder started to remind him of his past. But it shaped him to be who he is, he wanted the best for Megil even thought he still was a danger...

"I beg your pardon? Tie me up? Why would you ever want to do a thing like that," Megil said, then smiled.

"So when do we live this bloody place."

OOC: i have left everyone speechless. so i'll edit -.-

Jace woke up dazed and confused hoping that maybe what happened was just the cause of indigestion and bad inn food, but no, Megil really had killed Niran.

Jace slumped up the hill and looked around. He saw a freshly dug grave and everyone seemed to be standing around looking confused as he was.

"So ummm" Jace started to say but he stopped and remained silent.

Celia groaned as she woke up and rubbed her eyes. "Ugh, my back hurts!" She pressed her hand to her back as she stood up. She smiled at Sel as she stretched. "Hello, silly Dunmer!" she whispered; Serene was still sleeping. "Are we leaving soon?"

"I hope so." Sel replied to celias question about leaving.

"There's something I have to tell you, though." he said. A long pause followed before Sel continued. "Niran is dead."

Celia just stood there, speechless. "No, not again," she said softly. "Not another member dead..." She became numb inside, her throat tightening. She croaked softly. "H-how did he die?" She hoped if he was dead, that he had died a quick and or at least painless death...

Sel wanted to lie to her and tell her that he died in his sleep when he saw her face, but that wouldn't be fair.

"Megil killed him." he said flatly.

Celia's heart felt like it was being squeezed hard. She bit her lip, trying absorb the information. She said slowly, "Is there a reason why, may I ask?"

"Whatever reason they started that fight over." Sel replied. "Which wasn't much of one."

Megil sat down on a large boulder, then leaned back on his arms and watched the clouds in the sky, while swinging his legs.

he squinted his eyes.

"that clouds there looks like a mushroom, but it also looks like a slughterfish with legs and a beak." he said pointing at a cloud.

Celia wrung her hands, her face expressionless. "What kind of reason would that be? What could cause that friendly Dunmer to kill someone?" she whispered softly more to herself, trying to keep her sanity.

She started walking towards the enterance. "Well, I will ask him myself..." she said firmly. He better have a good reason, hopefully it was just an accident...

Sel followed - there was no telling what a crazed dunmer would do when questioned harshly.

Jace just sort of dropped to the ground in a sitting postion. This was all way to heavy for him. He found himself wondering about his former companions.... just what was Brink researching in Sadrith Mora?

Hmm that's awfully close to here.... I wonder what he'd do if he saw me again... How long has it been? Hmmn...

Celia started slowing down as she went out the door of the shrine. She felt anxious. How do you ask someone a serious question like that? And how would Megil take it?

She saw Megil sitting on a boulder, and headed his way, her face still expressionless. She stopped just behind him; she could not bear to confront him in front of his face. She swallowed, still uncertain and devastated.

After several moments of silence, she stared down at her hands and asked softly, "What happened, Megil?"

(OOC: I'll be right back in a few minutes!)

Jace stood up and looked at Megil. He appeared to be looking at the sky whispering to himself. Jace hoped this was all just stress related but he couldn't help but wonder. He saw Celia approach Megil and confront.

It is probably about the murder... I hope Megil and Celia can handle this one

Megil tilted his head as far back as he could, looking at Celia upside down, smiling

"Good day milady, I'm not sure what you are on about. what did happen? I don't know, the moon set, and then the sun rose, and it was a new day."


Megil said, before letting out small laugh and rolling over so he was lying stomach down on teh rock, holding himself up with his crosed arms. he had his legs bent and was slowly kicking them in the air.

"Say have i met you before"

You smug little bastarde. Sel thought, but kept it to himself.

"Answer the damned question - I'm tempted to kill you already, and you aren't helping much." he spat.

Shakur woke after a strange dream. He put the wolf hair robe on, the ebony helm on and wore the ebony ring among his finger. He walked for a minute, and hearing yelling, started running in the direction of the voices. He was still a little dizzy, but tried to stay on his feet. He ran and ran until he fell face first into a large puddle. He pulled his face out of the water and saw his reflection. He had browning-yellow eyes with narrow black pupils. Shakur jumped back and layed on the ground. He was scarred, dizzy, confused, lost and altered.

Shakur's thoughts started to clear as he lay looking at the sky. Then he saw something odd. The stars formed the body of the great hunter, Hircine. Shakur heard a voice, a loud and booming voice that spoke as if adressing a king. "Red One, you have served well." the stars reformed into the shape of Hircine and a wolf "And now my side of the trade is complete. You are now a human again, as you wished, but I couldn't stand leaving you without any real gifts. So I have supplied you my thanks and gratitude. You are intelligent and calm, so I have given you the eyes of the sage wolf. You were aging and weakening, so I replaced you to your former facial and muscular glory. You are a strong Redguard warrior, so I have given you the locks of a Ra Gada warrior. You are rich at heart but live a pretty humble life for an adventurer of your calibur, so I have given you a new set of clothing, an ebony helm to replace your old one and an ebony ring. And last but not least, I have made a robe of your former wolf hair, for you will always be a wolf at heart. Goodbye Red One" the voice stopped talking, and the star figures returned to their former positions.

Shakur stood, proud and tall, for Hircine had complimented his services. Shakur then remembered about the yelling, and started running again. He saw something on the horizon. A Daedric ruin. Shakur ran faster and faster, until he hit water. He swam until he hit shore. He sprinted and talked to himself. "I'm almost the... wait, what's there?" Shakur slowed and then stopped completely. "Why do I have the increadible urge to tun towards danger? Could it be that something importent is there? A big fight? An importent person? My death?" Shakur started walking again, but cautiously. He saw more and more of the Daedric ruin. And then, heard talking. "This is it!" he said, summoning a Shehai in his left and best hand. He saw some people, tough didn't know who or possibly what they were. He stalked the now moving people until they walked up to another group of people. Definatly human. He could hear talking and whispering. He hid behind a large rock, listening to their conversations.

Konrad followed the pair out, standing behind Megil. Watching his carefree behaviour he was nearly sick on the grass. "You...monster." he croaked, drawing his sword. He raised it above his head and held it there, fighting with himself. He looked at Sel. "Uh....I'm with you." he whispered.

Jace just stared at the group.

I suppose I should go over there.. This is just too odd

He walked over to Celia and Megil.

Ok, I guess since Stomach ache changed his post, we havn't met yet. I'll just, Find a new way to fit in.

Megil ignored Sel and glanced over at Konrad,

"Sorry lad, is she your gal? She's a fine one, good catch indeed."

he turned back to Celia, "my apologies then miss."

(OOC: Whoa, whoa, whoa! Isn't Konrad only thirteen? I could be wrong, though..)

IC:
Celia's face became a look of disgust as well as surprise. "What is wrong with you, you, sick person!" She grasped her hammer tightly, but hesistated, still greatly confused at Megil's behavior.

"Wrong with me?" Megil saidwith a confused look on his face. He then smiled again,

"Nothing that I am aware of, but I must say, that lad is a bit young for you."

"Celia" Jace said feeling awkward about talking to her because he didn't know her to well "I think... I think Megil has gone insane...."

Celia fumed, gritting her teeth, her eyes and hands glowing blue. "I don't care if he's insane or not! That is no excuse," her hand gripping the hammer slammed hard against Megil's head, "for a silly Dunmer to be acting this way!"

She began hypeventilating, ready to assault again.

Sel drew his sword, just in case the crazed Megil tried to retaliate.

OOC: konradude, it was this

http://70.84.131.212/data/toons/ahhhhhhh.swf

Konrad cried out and brough his sword down, aimed at Celia's hammer. If he made contact his silver blade would surely cut through the handle.

"Calm down, Celia." he commanded, then placed his weapon lightly on Megil's neck.

OOC: Sorry to keep you waiting o.o;

Shakur heard yelling, and many farmiliar voices. And then, Konrad yelled out a word that hit him. Celia. It was his old traveling companians. He wondered, should he come out and stop the possible fighting, or should he simply wait and see. He decided upon a median. Shakur walked out from behind the rock and just stood there, watching the yelling.

OOC: So'k Konrad.

"Oy!" Megil rubbed his ehad, were Celia's fist had hit him.

"What in the bloody hell was that for you bloody witch?"

He then felt Konrad's blade.

"Alright, now just what do you kids think you're doing. What's a Chap got to do to have a nice relaxing day. You just harrumph around assaulting men whilst they daydream. bunch of spoiled brats you are."

hu pushed the sword away with his index and middle finger.

"Run along now, you've had your rotten fun." he said, shooing them away with his hand.

OOC:YO DAgoth, you've been praying all night long ? its the next day already.
