The Purge of Riften(9/)
Darkness and chaos beacons in Riften, but even in the worst some miracles may happen deep down in Temple of Arkay..
Voice: Cursed, and weakened by your own Matron, yet you are the one who can save this City..
Voice: Gwynolda...
Gwynolda: Where I am?
Voice: In the Temple of Mara before the tragedy..
Gwynolda: Another dream? Is that you Lady Dibella?
Voice: She forsake you, due your sins and failures til you get back to her favor...
Gwynolda: So who are you then? Why I am here?
Voice: Im Arkay, you cleansed my temple and restored some of my pressence here in Riften...
Gwynolda: Arkay...
Arkay: Look around and you realise why you are here. What do you see?
Gwynolda: Book of the divines, an letter and a lot of potions and healing scrolls..
Arkay: Read the Letter..
Dear Arthur,
I hope you're faring well. We haven't heard anything from you in the last few months. I suppose being in Maven Black-Briar's service is keeping you busy. The parishioners miss you and some of them brought over your favorite cakes to express gratitude for you treating their ailments. Of course we sent the pastries over to the orphanage, just as you would've done. The temple is doing all right. We might even gather enough money to fix the roof leaks this season. I pray for you every night, my boy. Stay safe and true to yourself. You have a good heart and I know the light of Mara will guide you through any trials. May the Divines watch over you,
Brother Maramal.
Gwynolda: I don't understand it, why are you showing this to me? Not much point to see letter from priest, I do not knew before they die or see the temple I never was in...
Arkay: It seems seeing the temple before "Her" deeds not motivate you at all, so tell me what would do it?
Gwynolda: Getting back to Lady Dibella's grace and taking revenge on my vampire Mother is my goal, I don't need motivation to destroy her enemies..
Arkay: Is that so? I can help in that goal Gwynolda.. While Dibella took back her power and blessings, you can hold our powers as vessel..
Gwynolda: As vessel?
Arkay: Yes you are Dibella's sybil, you functions as her divine avatar and can hold power as much she see fitting, but you can hold other's power as well..
Gwynolda: Interesting and what exactly you want from me?
Arkay: I want you to save this city from "Her", I remove Dibella's cursed scar on you and give you some power to crumble her plans.. Should be enough to save the city and destroy your mother..
Gwynolda: You gave power just like that?
Arkay: Situation is far more dire then you realise, this is only chance to save Skyrim from tragedy. and your chance to get back to Dibella..
Gwynolda: I do it..
Arkay: I name you temporaly the Harbringer of the Death God.... and you will purge Riften from all unholy undead..
Gwynolda: Quite fancy title you gave me, so what powers and blessings I can count on this holy quest?
Arkay: Remember the sword you slayed the Shade from the void?
Gwynolda: Yes, something whispered to take it and I did..
Arkay: Sword blessed by holy magic and can fatal to all undead, each strike of it undone any unholy magic and make them face vunerable.. Blade of my Champions.. it is crucial to strike her down with this sword..
Arkay: Your body suited to handle Dibella's powers and blessings, you not will be at your full potential, but enough to slay her and handle the situation..
Arkay: Unlike my Champions, you are not invincible to the undead, just deadly them, beware and do not underestimate them or they are your doom..
Arkay: Now wake up and use your holy magic, moment you use them, I can give my blessings..
The dream ended...
My body was full of pain, armour too heavy to move, I never had that much strain from magic...
In the end, despite all of those. I need all my will power and strenght to stand up and do what Arkay asked...
Gwynolda: Time to cast it and lets hope I don't faint..
Moment I casted my holy magic, something special happened like before it was potent and not exhausting... Compared the one I used against the shade..
My body got stronger, my armour was no longer heavy, my magicka returned and the burning scar of my face disappeared..
I was ready to do what I must, save the city from "her".. Purge all evil and unholy along with my mother and ger back to my Lady Dibella's grace..
Gwynolda: Time to leave this crypt.
Gwynolda: I have a city to Purge..
Something is very odd and strange..
My magic is weakened, Arkay pressence is returned.. how is this possible? Wait..
Gwynolda...., seems her pressence can conduct Arkay's power and serve as an shrine to distrupt undeads...
Months of corpses are wasted, so many cells filled up with material for an army, now can't raise up. Only my advanced ones remained.. no cannon fodder for the Imperator Magus, ohh well..
Plans changed, shades and others can handle Gauis, I need get Eliza to distract the new potential danger..
The End
