Azurel left the museum to hunt down some artifacts from a list Auryen gave her. Her first stop was no problem. An old ruin with some bandits. Nothing she hadn't dealt with before.

 

 

 

She snuck in, grabbed the artifact, and left just as quickly. The second wasn't so simple. The location was Bleak Falls Barrow for something known as a "Dragonstone."

 

 

 

After quietly dispatching the bandits that occupied the outside of the ruins, Azurel went inside and took out a couple more with her dagger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Azurel continued into the ruins, she found a lone bandit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The outcome wasn't what she had expected. After witnessing the sword absorb the bandit's soul, Azurel became terrified of the weapon. Despite that, she continued to explore the ruins to find the Dragonstone.

 

 

 

However, as she entered the main chamber, Azurel found a wall that was... chanting? As she approached it, something weird happened.

 

 

 

She, somehow, learned one of the words. Confused, Azurel turned around to search the sarcophagus for the Dragonstone. Using the sword, Azurel killed its occupant when it decided to try and kill her. Inside, she found the Dragonstone.

 

 

 

 

 

Getting out of there, Azurel decided to immediately return to the museum to ask Auryen about the sword. She found him wandering around in the Gallery of Natural Science.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Auryen headed to the museum library, Azurel went to the safehouse to store the Runeblade with the other weapons in the storage room.

 

 

 

 

 

But the Runeblade seemed to be affecting Azurel. It was as if the sword was trying to get her to take it with her. Its power drawing her to it...

 

 

 

That was when Azurel began hearing a voice in her head...

 

 

 

Giving in, Azurel picked up the Runeblade and left with it. Just what it wanted...
