"I would not say impossible, not after what I saw." Meesei replied. "I do not know a great deal about the Dunmer, but his wife, Hal-Neesa, spoke to me at greater length. And I saw her fight. They...are not normal vampires. Not like most of their cult. From what I learned afterwards, they are vampire lords. They have a more, I suppose 'pure' form of vampirism that allows them to transform into a more powerful vampiric form. Large, winged, and with unique magical abilities straight from Molag Bal himself. And that is not to mention her normal magical talent. I engaged in a brief magical duel with her and...well, she quite literally tossed me around the room. There was nothing I could do to resist her. Of course, it has been many years since then, but I still do not know what kind of power she truly has."

Meesei's face formed a brief, uncomfortable expression as she glanced away from Lunise. "I also do not plan on asking Fendros or Ahnasha to join me. That was the place where Rhazii received his burns. It was during that task that they were captured and tortured. Molag Bal's cult was not responsible for it, but all the same, I do not want to force them to revisit those memories. But, I do plan on bringing the Staff of Magnus with me to at least give a way to guarantee our escape, should something happen. The staff is said to be able to contain the power of a god, so I do not think Hal-Neesa or her husband will be able to overwhelm it. What of you? Or Marod? Do you think the Dominion or Empire would want their representatives to attend this meeting, given that whatever terns we strike may affect your people as well?"

Do'rhajul shook his head, not as an answer, but in disagreement. "Your people are certainly skilled hunters, but as long as it is not your spymaster hunting me, I still believe I can disappear. Tamriel is quite a large place, and there are many ways to fade away. I can take a new name, avoid stirring trouble. If you can teleport me to a destination, then they will have no trail to follow. Or, perhaps I could visit a face sculptor to complete my change of identity. I could even, say...join one of your clans. With a new face and a new name, I could hide in the last place they would expect to look."
