Dragonborn Saga

it was known as the ’Kiai ’.
It is said that when the Empire sent an expedition to Akavir, the people there were used Magic in ways never seen before and it is said that the Akaviri Kiai Masters can conjure Storms and Bend the Weather causing the Imperial Army to fall to hunger with no rain grow crops in their colonies. ”

”That ’s insane. ”

”Come on, what is insane is your father.
He managed to ’Manifest ’ his Aura into a Blood Sun.
Bending the nature that much by the Aura is a true mystery even for my father ’s level. ” Jon said.

”I know. ” Serana confirmed.
”If you saw my father ’s weapon then you should have a hint or two about my father ’s power. ”

Jon didn ’t need to wrack his brain about it, he knew exactly what Harkon ’s weapon from the game was.
A Katana.

”Anyway, let ’s focus.
Do you still remember where the ’Tower of Lies ’ is? ” Jon asked.

”Between the Shrouded Plain and Fist of Stone. ”

”Fine. ”

Even though Jon played the ’Elder Scrolls Online ’ once and it introduced Coldharbour, the realm was much different even more than the difference between Skyrim versions in game and reality.
A thousand years is a lot of time after all.

Jon and Serana arrived at a towering ruin that resembled a different Civilization than the Aztec-like Argonian village they passed, it was Ayleid Ruin.

”The Library of Dusk.
The only library I will never enter. ” Jon said.

”A Library? You can ’t be serious? ”

”What? Even the Lord of Lies needs a library to record his lies.
Those who enter however are kinda trapped. ”

”I see… that kind of library.
Sounds befitting of Lord Molag Bal. ”

The two didn ’t stop and kept riding past the ruins of the library.
From this point onward, Daedric wild monsters started to appear.
The Speed advantage of the Atronach Horses combined with the magic Jon and Serana made the road very clear and no monsters approached them in the next few hours.

It was about time that they started to notice signs of life or rather signs of Daedra moving.
The two diverted from the road and moved on foot to hide away from the road.
It was a medium-sized Dremora patrol that seemed a bit laid back.

Jon and Serana realized they are near the place they are after.
As they started sneaking to the North, they saw a large floating rock with a tree on top of it linked by a stone bridge to a stone dome a bit higher from the ground.

”The funny thing about the Tower of Lies is the lie about it being a tower when it is a deep pit. ” Serana remarked.

”Well, Old Molag is playing another untasteful joke. ” Jon said as he started crawling on the ground.

”What are you doing? ”

”Doing some recon.
Get down, princess. ”

Jon started to scan the place with magic and noticed the patrols around the place.
There were not just Dremora Patrolers, there was a horde of slaves in rags.
These were the Soul Shriven.

These were mortals whose souls got stolen by Molag Bal and replaced with a Daedric Soul (or a Vistage).
By that, they became creatures belonging to the Realm of Coldharbour and their bodies reformed like the Daedra from the Azure Plasm.
The different thing about their new bodies that it is rotting and decaying slowly from the inside.
The Soul Shriven body is a complete waste built on an Ancestral Form filled with foul energy rather than its pure Anuic soul.
It can grant immortality but still, it doesn ’t equal living in a healthy and beautiful body.

These Soul Shriven were ashen pale both in skin and hair color.
Their eyes are devoid from any hope of salvation or rest and they are forced to mine all day long with chains around their necks until their bodies break and die.
Once they die, the revive again from the Azure Plasm like the Daedra to go through the whole chain of suffering again.

Jon was watching all that from the edge of a cliff viewing the wide banks of a certain Azure Plasm river.
He could see everything clearly from there.

Jon took off [Greed] and reshaped it into a chant with a clutch at its end and kept waiting.

”What are you doing? ”

”Fishing. ”

As a certain Dremora started to stray from his group down at the mining area, Jon threw [Greed] and caught the Dremora from the head then.

In a split of a second, the Daedra Churl was at the feet of both Jon and Serana with its mouth gagged by [Greed].

”Easy way and a hard way.
Speak or get tortured… I was doing that a lot lately so I guess I got better at torturing.
Point is, A Kynval goes by the name Xikil.
Where is he? ”

*Groan*

”Fine, the hard way. ” Jon said as he took out a mammoth tusk from the [Cube].

***

In a place not far away from Jon, a certain figure was being hung by his arms and getting punched in his ribs by an angry Dremora.

”That ’s some nerve you have, little warm.
You ran from your post not once, not twice but three times all in one day. ” The angry Dremora said.

”Mar… Markynaz… I am sorry… I was… I was Conjured to Nirn. ” The beat up Kynval was puking blood.

”Conjured? Three times? The same idiot Dremora get summoned three times in one day? By the Lord ’s name, that ’s a record.
Hahaha! ” Markynaz Marx was not buying it.

The slapping and beating were on for almost two days straight at this point.
Xikil was already fed up with it but he can ’t do anything to his highest superior, especially when it comes to the Overseer of the Tower of Lies, Markynaz Marx.

”Kynreeve, make sure that this worm learns a good lesson. ”

”Yes, Markynaz. ”

Marx left the torture process to another and went to someplace else as he already got bored with Xikil.

”Kyn… reeve.
You know I… I was conjured… you saw it. ” Xikil spoke to his direct superior.

”Kid, it ’s okay.
Just endure it for a while. ”

”What? Then why didn ’t you… say anything for me? ”

”What do you want me to say? That you really got conjured three times in the same day? Truth be told, your record when it comes to being conjured is scary.
Can ’t you even resist some Mortal conjuration, you dimwit. ”

”If I could… I wouldn ’t be like this… And this is not some Mortal, it is a monster in mortal flesh.
The damn thing is haunting me! ”

”A Mortal haunting a Daedra? Kid, you have fallen too low. ”

*Slap*

”… ”

”That Mortal you are speaking too highly about is imprisoned by one of the Lord ’s Lieutenants.
It is impossible that he can Conjure you, you know that.
Moreover, that Lieutenant is here in Coldharbour, didn ’t you get the news about the vampires arriving at Coldharbour? ”

”Wait! That Mortal is here? In Coldharbour? ” Xikil ’s sense of crisis heightened up all of sudden.

”Yes… the vampires came some time ago and borrowed the spare [Transliminal Scanner] to look for something in Oblivion.
They said your mortal is… is… ”

Xikil noticed the Kynreeve stuttering on words.
Looking closely, a red blade was penetrating the Kynreeve ’s chest and suddenly was pulled back and waved to cut his head.

”Hey, boy.
Tsk tsk tsk, those amateurs got you for real.
Want a Princess Carry down from there? ”
