Solitude
Skyrim

 

Shannia feels responsible for Aeliana's fate. She knows that if they don't meet, both of their lives will turn out very differently.

The Dragonborn is missing. Rumor has it that she voluntarily threw herself into the fire when her house caught fire. Shannia doesn't believe any malicious rumors.

She had spent the past few weeks trying to reconstruct the period leading up to Aeliana's disappearance.

 

 

Shannia: Finally...

 

I hope I didn't travel here unnecessarily.

 

Solitude Brothel

 

Shannia: Are you Marcus?
Marcus: Yes. And who are you?
Shannia: I'm Shannia, an old friend of the Dragonborn. I heard you worked with Aeliana for a while, is that true?

Marcus: Er, you could say that. Luckily I got out in time.
Shannia: In time? What do you mean?

Marcus: Before things got really rough.
Shannia: Tell me everything.

 

Marcus tells the circumstances under which she met Aeliana.

 

Shannia: ...and what happened?
Marcus: When I found her, she wasn't the same person. She was sitting on the ground, huddled up, seemingly unaware of where she was.
Shannia: Skooma? Or some other drug?

Marcus: No, that was completely different. After that, she behaved even more extreme than before. Her sexual appetite was insatiable. I left her when people started disappearing around her.
Shannia: Disappear?

Marcus: Yes. We never managed to prove anything, but there were a lot of disappearances reported from the places Liana had been. I didn't feel safe around her anymore, so I ran away.

Shannia: I think it's going to be harder than I thought.

 

Whiterun
Days later

 

Shannia had tried to talk to Sofia before, but she always avoided her.

 

This time, Shannia didn't hesitate and surprised her unexpectedly in the inn.

 

 

Shannia: Just listen to me, okay? I need to know where Aeliana is.

 

Sofia: You're one of her whores, right? Why don't you just leave her alone? It's all because of you...

 

Shannia: What? No, I just...

Sofia: Leave her alone, everyone leave her alone!

 

Later
Dragonsreach

 

Shannia: Liana, what happened to you? Have you really become evil? I can't believe this...

Nelkir: Another wanderer, here to lick my father's boots. Good job.

Shannia: Hey, watch your mouth, kid!

Nelkir: You are all the same. My father is a coward. My mother died because of him. The Mistress said so.
Shannia: The Mistress? Who are you talking about?
Nelkir: A Whisperer Lady. She tells me things. Everyone lies, but she never does.

Shannia: Who is this Whisperer Lady? Where do you usually meet?
Nelkir: There's a locked door down there by the warehouses. Talk to her and you'll see I'm telling the truth.

 

A strange curiosity took over Shannia. 

 

Shannia: Maybe that's what that little rascal was talking about.

 

 

Shannia: Heellooo, Is anyone there?

<Whispering from behind the door>: At last. I thought you'd never find me mortal.

Shannia: Do you know me? Who is behind the door?
<Whispering lady>: I am Mephala. You must have heard of me, it is rumored that none other than the Dragonborn herself serves me.
Shannia: That's a lie! Aeliana is more than that!

Mephala: Are you sure? What if I told you that her life is in my hands and you are the only one who can save her?
Shannia: You are lying! I know your kind, you are all deceitful, and you delight in people's suffering.
Mephala: Enter the door and I will show you the way to your beloved Aeliana.
Shannia: No, I don't want to believe it...
Mephala: Come here.

 

Shannia: W-What is this blade?
Mephala: I will give it to you and when it has been nourished enough, you will be worthy of receiving your love back.
Shannia: I will never serve you Monster…

Mephala: Don't think you have a choice. If you leave now, you won't have a chance to save Aeliana's life.

 

Despair. That's what Daedra Gods like Mephala exploit. Shannia didn't know it, but she was already lost. Guilt and a desire to make up for past sins at all costs had left her vulnerable.
Mephala quickly ensnared her, like a spider ensnaring its prey.

 

 

Weeks later
The Nasty Pine Brothel
Windhelm

 

Shannia was not fully aware of her actions. She felt like one half of her was fighting against what she was about to do, and the other half was driving her towards murderous madness.

 

 

Shannia: What am I doing here? Liana, I, I... I just want to be with you... I don't want to give myself to anyone else...

Mephala: Remember, if you don't do what I command, Aeliana will die.

The Dark Mistress forced Shannia to do terrible things. Sex was just one of them.

 

Shannia: Hello big boy! How about a wild night with me?

 

Nord man: Huh, really, y-you w-with me...?

Shannia: What is it? Maybe you don't like what you see?

Nord man: Oooh yes, I've always loved Imperial women. H-how much is your fee?

Shannia: Come on, you can do it with me for free, just come in to me.

Nord man: Are you serious? What a lucky day!

 

Shannia: Look at me, baby...

 

I can't wait to feel your big cock inside me...

 

Yeees, fuck me… Yes!

 

Fuckkk...

 

Aaaahhh...Aaaahhh…

 

 

 

 

Faster!

 

Fuck me…!

 

I want your sperm!

 

Yeeeeees…!

 

Deliciously warm...

 

 

 

Aaaaaaahhh.....

 

A man's life ended before sunrise. Mephala's Ebony Blade drained his soul.
Shannia realized for a moment what she had done.

 

 

Shannia: I'll be damned... I took another life. What have I done? What have I become?

 

Aeliana, Everything I do...I do it for you... It doesn't matter to me anyway...

 

The Dragonborn's punishment was both pleasurable and painful. Mephala forced her to have sex with someone almost constantly in her prison. Thanks to her dark magic, Aeliana slowly drifted to the edge of madness.

 

 

Aeliana: I don't even know how much time has passed... It's always the same...

 

It's the 10th or the 100th time? I can't judge...I can't remember...

 

After all, I wanted it... All I could think about was sex...

 

Aaaahh… I enjoy it, but I feel a hell of a pain!

 

 

Aaaahhh...Aaaahhh…

 

I'm starting to lose all self-control.

 

I'm tormented by nightmares at night, and during the day I'm falling from one orgasm to another, but I feel like I'm on fire down there...

 

 

 

This is Oblivion's hell... What more does Mephala want from me? Haven't I had enough?

 

I don't have much hope left...
