The Depths of Deception

It wasn't anything I could fix on my end, but our ISP fixed it at 3:00 AM. Unless it breaks again, it should be fine.

The internet was out, but our ISP fixed it at 3:00 AM. It should be good now.

The Depths of Deception

I've been fine. My internet is apparently out at home. I'll probably be able to fix it, but there is a chance I won't be able to today.

Even if it isn't, I can always get on while I'm here at college.

Apparently my internet is out at home. I'll probably be able to fix it when I get there, but in the event I cannot, I may not be on today.

Srashi shook her head. "No, Srashi will be fine. She will take good care of your son while you are gone." She answered confidently. With everyone up, it did not take long for them all to get ready and have a quick breakfast, so by the time Orskan came around to collect them, they were all ready to go. Meesei made sure to give an explanation to Srashi for how to take care of Leaps as well. She had not originally been told that would be part of her duties, but she did not seem to mind. For the first time since they arrived, they were finally led out of the xanmeer, though it seemed even darker outside than it was inside. The thick fog and shadow around the area seemed perpetual.

Once outside, the pack saw Vinaremo and his group of mages. Counting him and Orskan, there were five in total, with four more skeleton guards. The skeletons were all adorned in heavy armor, though it was not ebony like the guards in the throne room. As soon as they were off of the steps of the xanmeer, Vinaremo addressed them.

"Good, then we are ready to go. The ruined town is not too far away, but it is outside the range of our Masters' magic. Predictably, this noble has arranged for the exchange to occur in the daytime, but we do have a way around that. I have with me a scroll enchanted by Lady Neesa that will temporarily extend their magic to the area of the village. That should help minimize the influence of the sun." He explained. About half of Vinaremo's group were vampires, so without the scroll, they would be significantly less effective. "When we arrive, just let me do the talking. Act like a part of our group. Once we lure them out into the open, then we will strike. If any of your people can get into position for an ambush, feel free."

Vinaremo started to walk, but abruptly stopped and turned back to make one final comment. "Oh, and I expect we can be professional on this task. You do not like me, and I certainly do not like you, but when it comes to the fight, we are to be allies. My people will protect you, and I expect the same from your group. But do not fear, I will resume hating you after our business is concluded."

Kaleeth stood up once she had finished equipping her armor and grabbed her shield and mace. Following Janius' instruction from the day before, she attached the shield as securely as she could to her forearm while still allowing it to break away if she started to turn. "Okay, I guess it is better for now to just focus on surviving this. We can think about other things after this fight, after the war."

"Srashi supposes that makes sense. It is very rare for Khajiit and Argonians to have children with other races, but this one has seen it before. Our Lord and Lady have three children." Srashi commented.

While Fendros did not feel comfortable asking about Srashi's cub, Ahnasha was a different story. She was quite curious to know the fate of her child, since she was going to be the one watching after Rhazii. It didn't really matter to her if it was an uncomfortable topic to discuss. "You said you have a cub?" She asked.

"Had a cub. She was raped and murdered by outlaws. Srashi had her when she was very young, not many years after she gained the ability to bear children. It was about ten years before we were captured on the way to Gideon. After Srashi escaped, she prayed to Molag Bal for help with revenge, and he led her to her new family. They have been very nice; they helped Khajiit capture the outlaws. Srashi tortured them for a few days before flaying them alive. It was very satisfying. She sacrificed their souls to Molag Bal, and he even let her keep a few for herself." Ko'Srashi explained. Through her entire tale, her tone was disturbingly upbeat, especially when she mentioned her revenge. It all sounded terrible, but in all honesty, Ahnasha wasn't sure she would not want to do the same thing if someone harmed Rhazii.

Srashi leaned in closer to Ahnasha and held out her hand. "You see these rings? This one in enchanted with the soul of the bandits' leader, this one is the second in command, and..." She began, reaching into a satchel around her waist and pulling out a small knife. "...this is Srashi's cheese knife. It has the soul of the one who killed her cub. The enchantment keeps the food it cuts nice and warm."

Is Ssarak now a unit of measurement?

As soon as Ko'Srashi stepped inside and saw Rhazii in Ahnasha's arms, her face seemed to light up. She smiled and gave Fendros an enthusiastic nod. "Yes, Ko'Srashi had a cub of her own. Oh, and he reminds Khajiit so much of her. He is so cute!" She exclaimed as she walked over to Ahnasha and regarded the supplies they had set out for her for a few moments before looking down and smiling at Rhazii. With his hunger satisfied, Ahnasha pulled him from her chest and started to rock him in her arms.

"Hmm, I have never seen a Khajiit with red eyes before." Srashi commented curiously.

Letting out a sigh, Kaleeth reluctantly moved to the foot of the bed and started to put on the pieces of her wamasu scale armor. As she was about halfway through, however, she turned her head back to Jaius. "You didn't answer me, though. Do you think it will ever be that way? Do you think there will ever be a time where we won't have to worry about fighting or war? Will we be able to just...live? I don't want to always be going around and fighting. I want to be able to find a home with you, maybe pick an area we like and live there? We could have an egg like Ahnasha and Fendros...if that is possible with a Human and Saxhleel."

By the next scene, do you mean something like where they set up camp? I would like to be able to have them all talk after that.
