Chapter 15: Unknown Child ( 1 )
As Miraak and Asa left Unsthalas's territory, they finally arrived at the top of a nearby mountain.
Using Asa's Eagle-like eyes, they could see major cities or villages to avoid.
Men and Mer were in a hostile relationship, so they decided to avoid contact for most of the time.
The problem was, that day was very cloudy.
"I can't see... My eyes can't do miracles." Asa said complaining as she tried to see through the clouds.
'Feather' Miraak chanted as, slowly but surely, his Magicka enveloped his body in a cacoon fashion.
Although almost transparent, Asa could see something blue pulsating around Miraak's skin.
"Prepare yourself." He said as he slowly walked over.
"What is-" Asa said but stopped.
After all, Miraak suddenly took her in a princess carry.
"Wh-" She said stunned.
But her surprise didn't finish there.
"Miraak? Miraak!? Miraak!!!" Asa shouted louder and louder as he walked to the edge.
Jumping, the duo started to fall.
As the cold air of the mountains left their surroundings, they felt warmer and warmer.
"We're going to die!! NoOoO-...!!" She yelled louder and louder but soon stopped.
As the duo pierced the clouds, the sun started to shine more and more.
Finally leaving the clouds, the duo finally saw Skyrim's mainland.
Green, yellow, orange, red, there was almost all color on the plants.
Since it was the first time seeing so much Nature without Snow, Asa was dumbfounded.
Although she was dumbfounded, she still followed Miraak's earlier order and started to search for cities and villages.
When she finished memorizing everything, they were already almost on the ground.
"Oh no... Oh no..." She kept saying as she saw the incoming ground.
As they finally touched the ground, Asa was tightly hugging Miraak with closed eyes, waiting for the incoming 'Death'.
Feeling nothing, she slowly opened her eyes, only to see that they are already on the ground and Miraak was smirking at her.
"Afraid or something?" Miraak asked smirking at her.
Asa didn't respond. She just glanced at him and the floor.
As her eyes became foggy as if all her life was a lie, she sighed endlessly.
Staring at her, Miraak finally said, "Wake up already... Which way?"
Shooking her head, Asa responded as she led the way, "... This way."
...
In the middle of a small forest, a child was running.
With pale skin and greenish-blue eyes, he was from the Nedic Race.
Behind him, a bandit group formed by Snow Elves and Ayleids chased after him.
"We need to take him!!" One Snow Elf shouted as he ran after the child.
Although the Snow Elves were trying to use Ice Magic to somehow stop the child or, at least, slow him, the child could somehow avoid them beforehand, as if he knew the future.
"... DAMN IT!! What is happening?" A Snow Elf screamed in frustration seeing the child effortlessly avoid their magic.
As the child ran, he slowly but surely slowed down in speed in exhaustion.
Finally landing a spell that restrained the child, they all smiled and made way to their 'Boss'.
An Ayleid stepped forward.
He was wearing a black-orange metallic Elfish armor while on his hand was a staff with beautiful crystal-like stone on its head, a Welkynd Stone.
With all the gold and diamond jewelry on him, he was clearly of High Status.
"Look at you... Even after 3 months of running away and leading us outside the Empire's soil, you still were caught." The Ayleid said 'Relaxed'.
If someone paid close attention, they could see the Ayleid's veins pulsating in rage.
"A Slave... A Damn Slave dares to rebel!? Dares to run away!?" The more the Ayleid spoke, the more his hand gripped tighter and tighter around the staff.
His blueish skin paled more and more as he was feeling his rage out of control.
"Madam made the honor to name you as her Personal Maid!! And you ran away!?!" He said as the crystal on the staff started to glow brighter and brighter.
The bandits behind him only trembled in front of such a dominating Figure.
After all, they knew where he came from and if they didn't want a painful death, it was better to do as he said.
"Never! My life is mine and mine alone!!" The child shouted to the dominating Ayleid.
"I prefer to die than becoming the Abomination's plaything!!" The child continued shouting.
"... You... Abomination... ABOMINATION!?" The Ayleid shouted as he finally couldn't control himself anymore.
Pointing his staff toward the child, a pure ball of Magicka appeared.
The ball became bigger and brighter as seconds passed by.
It was such a beautiful ball. But it's might couldn't be underestimated.
"As you wish." The Ayleid said fiercely.
The ball was so bright that it seemed as if the sunlight became duller and duller.
As the ball advanced toward the child, it slowly engulfed him.
Finally, the ball exploded.
As if it didn't tolerate colors in the world, the explosion was so bright yet so powerful that the world seemed colorless for a second.
Finally, color returned, and with it, the world.
Seeing nothing more than smoke, the Ayleid was sure the child became ashes.
"... Looks like I will-..." He murmured to himself but was interrupted when he saw an incoming arrow.
Seeing unknown runes on the arrow, he put a physical and magical barrier around himself and the bandit group.
As the arrow impacted the barriers, contrary to earlier, the world became brighter and brighter.
As if colors wanted to engulf everything, it finally exploded.
Fire, Ice, and Lightning.
There was an amount so great of Magic that the Ayleid frowned more and more.
The tri-element explosion engulfed the Ayleid's barriers like a cacoon of pure destruction.
Suddenly, cracks appeared on the barriers.
But, before the barriers could be destroyed, the explosion stopped.
Sighing, the Ayleid stopped the barriers only to see a couple of children.
The male was carrying the unconscious earlier Nedic child while the female was pointing another arrow at him.
Suddenly the Ayleid felt something.
When a Tiger stares at a deer, the deer feels the same thing.
Fear.
Inevitable Death.
The Ayleid felt as if he attacked again, he was surely dead.
He didn't know if this feeling came from the children or if someone was nearby.
But, he was certain of it.
Someone extremely powerful was there, waiting for his next step.
Just like in Chess. He felt as if he would lose no matter which moves he made.
Sighing in defeat, he slowly turned around and left.
The bandits were stunned but, soon after, they followed him.
