Aeliana: Are you not sleeping either?
Serana: No, I'm too nervous about the challenges ahead. Did you cut your hair?
Aeliana: Yes, in battle it bothers me less. While we're at it, can we talk a bit?
Serana: Sure Leana.


Aeliana: To the point: I've always wondered how you vampires reckon with your conscience when you kill and eat humans. Obviously your father doesn't find it challenging, but take you for example.
Serana: Well, shall I say it's almost natural for our kind? If we don't drink blood, eat humans, we can die sooner or later, but it takes long months or years of bitter and suffering. If we don't drink blood we lose our reason and just vegetate. Deliberate deep sleep and hibernation are different. This is how I have survived thousand of years, although I now think it is possible to there could have been another way.
The point is, we should not make this an ethical issue, we either drink blood or suffer. Of course, I will pick and choose who, believe me, there are many people for whom there is nothing to feel sorry.


Aeliana: Unfortunately I know. Have you ever had to kill an innocent person in order to live?


Serana: Sure. When they brought the victims to the castle, I didn't know who we were consuming that very day, bandits, priests, decent family men... I only saw women and men, but after a while I accepted that this was the order of life for us. 


Aeliana: Thank you, that's all I wanted.
Serana: Liana.
Aeliana: Yes?
Serana: I know you saw us last night. 
Aeliana: Look, It just happened to be walking by...
Serana: It's okay, I've always been turned on by someone who's caught me having sex. You know, for us vampires, seduction is in our blood, you could say it's required. Elisha is the one I trust, you're the other.


Can you resist the seduction of a vampire?

Serana: ...but your neck is so delicious!
Aeliana: Serana, stop it, please...


Aaaah...


Serana: I'm sorry, it was instinct. 


Serana: I found my initiation ritual more than humiliating. I buried the trauma I experienced then, using my body as a tool whenever I could. I don't know what emotional lovemaking is like, I only know cold fucking. 
It would be nice to experience the former once.


Later

Aeliana: My dear, I must go now.
Sofia: Is it morning already? Where are you going?
Aeliana: I'm going to help Serena to find her mother.


Sofia: Please stay, that woman will only get you in trouble.
Aeliana: No trouble, not this time really. But don't follow us, I couldn't bear it if anything happened to you.
Sofia: Hmmpff...


Later at the Volkihar Castle

Serana: This is the back entrance to the castle, this is where they unloaded the supplies we brought in on ships, in many cases the victims. As I can see it hasn't been used for a long time, let's hope we don't see any more serious skeletons than these enemies.


Inside

Aeliana: Do these dogs serve anyone but themselves?
Serana: I don't think so, they must have been living wild here for a long time.




Aeliana: By the Gods... 
Serana: The remains of the victims were piled up here, but I've never been here myself, so it's shocking to see...
Aeliana: ...and I still feel guilty.
Serana: What do you mean?
Aeliana: Nothing, sorry, I'm a bit distracted, let's move on!


The Courtyard
 

Serana: I haven't been in the courtyard of the castle for a very long time. It used to be beautiful, my mother used to take care of the garden, she used to grow a lot of rare plants, mainly for alchemy.
 

...but she will never look after it anymore!


Serana: Father!
Harkon: Serana, I'd say it pains me to see your treachery, but I haven't been interested in a while. You stole the Elder Scroll from me, that was a mistake so you both of us will pay dearly.
Serana: How did you find her?


Harkon: Without Elisha's information, I really didn't know where to look, but after she proved her loyalty and came to me, you think your mother's cheap tricks were still an obstacle? From her diary, originally intended for you, I found out how to find her... 


Serana: And you Elisha? I trusted you!
Elisha: I took advantage of that, Serana, I was never a prisoner in that Vigilant jail, but you were blinded by desire... I made you believe I turned against your father when in fact I was his lover.
Aeliana: Now I understand why you didn't want to come with us.


Valerica: Leave my daughter Harkon and take me! You got what you wanted, you have the other scroll.


Harkon: We're not done with each other yet, but now it's time to fulfill the prophecy and then I can finally be free of my shackles.


I got a little gift for you!




Aeliana: What now?
Serana: I know a possible solution, although again, the risk is high.
Aeliana: If it's like the last one, don't even start.
Serana: We have to stop my father, whatever it takes. I have to talk to him.
Aeliana: With who?
Serana: Molag Bal.
Aeliana: Have you completely lost your mind?
Serana: Believe me, the last thing I want to do is face him again, but this time he can help us. My father wants to be free of the pact that binds him, so he is willing to do everything for it.


Aeliana: He cannot kill a Daedra God.
Serana: Indeed, but the intention that someone would want to escape Molag Bal's influence, to think he is smarter than he is, will inflame him, will hurt his pride.
Aeliana: I doubt he would help us just because of that information.
Serana: It's really not enough, we need a human sacrifice first.
Aeliana: Who is it?
Serana: Well, aren't you going to object? One of Arkay's priests.
Aeliana: If you really see no other way, fine. I'd rather one person than thousands and my friends could be in danger, including you.
Serana: Then we've discussed this quickly. Come with me.


Windhelm

Serana: I have chosen the priest here for us. He's a hypocrite, a drunkard, and he goes to whores, whom he beats and tortures. No one will miss him. 
Aeliana: Leave that part to me Serana, then follow us, I'll lead you to Azura's Dawn Castle.
Serana: Alright, but be careful.


Aeliana: I need a priest for my travels.
Arkay's Priest: Well well a bitch who can do more than scrub floors...


Aeliana: Ahem... I don't care about your filthy mouth, I want to know if you can perform your priestly duties when needed, even in difficult situations?
Priest: How can I not? I'm an ordained priest, I don't wear the cloth for decoration. What would I get in return?
Aeliana: In the first place septim, as much as you can count, and the rest we'll see.
Priest: I think we have a deal then. Show me the way, my dear.


Azura's Dawn Castle

Aeliana: It would certainly be nice to have a refreshing bath, it's been a long journey, make yourself comfortable...
Priest: Hmmm, finally...


Priest: Oh, what nice shapely breasts you have, let me treat them.


Aeliana: Not so fierce, Father. Let me wash you first.


Priest: That's very nice, but there's more, isn't there?
Aeliana: Take it easy. You're not exactly skinny for a priest...
Priest: I served in the army, I gave the last rites to the fallen, but I was discharged because I drank all the time and went after girls. But enough talk, do it bitch, that's your job!


Aeliana: Is that what you mean?


Priest: Yeah, use that fine little mouth of yours...












Aeliana: Meet my cousin, you know, she's hungry for some mischief too, I hope she can join in.
Priest: I'll show him what a real man is like!


Priest: I think I'm dreaming...






Suck it, that's right, not a drop wasted!


Aeliana: It's yours, Serana...

Serana: It was a big mistake to beat women, priest, now enjoy your last moments before I suck your blood...


Aeliana: Somehow I can't feel sorry for this worm, but at least I got to enjoy myself a little.

Serana: His blood was delicious. I offer his heart to Molag Bal, I know a place where we can contact him.


Aeliana: Have you thought about what you're doing?
Serana: I have no doubt. Let's go!
