Time was no more. A burning, painful, flaming heat filled the air around the weakened female. Everything around her either vibrated in the icy desert's heat or stood still as if it was solidly frozen to its place and time - there was no time.

 

An ethereal hand arose to her chin, gently lifting her sight upwards, away from the cold snow and towards the endless horizon. The comfortable feeling this hand had caused quickly faded as Marina opened her eyes and gazed into the distance.

 

There was a field of death and blood, filled with slain corpses of long dead warriors. Marina was in the middle of these plains, surrounded by the dead; by their glory and honor . As she slowly got up on her feet she inspected her surroundings further. Lying next to some of the corpses were their weapons, swords and axes - all shattered by the flames of battle. Steel that had kissed steel now was forever worthless.

 

Most of them suffered a painful death and still had the enemy's blades stuck in their bodies. Gruesome wounds, severed limbs and decapitated bodies, truly there was no mercy on these fields. Equally merciless was Marina's thirst for blood. She could literally feel the insanity slowly taking over her mind and causing a blood crazed frenzy. She sprinted through the unhallowed plains of fallen warriors, trying to find anything that still had a pulse or at least some blood in their veins.

Suddenly she stopped. On top of a hill she spotted a battle-axe. It was a brutal and large weapon; Immediately she recognized it and began running up the hill towards this great axe - Either to have her hopes fulfilled or annihilated by sorrow and pain.

 

This weapon was truly worthy of having "battle" in its name ever since the day it was crafted, through the heat of a forge and on a cold as ice anvil. The axe was sharpened in many battles and was the cause for slaughter and peril. But every weapon needs a man who swings it in order to slay multiple foes with a single blow. This battle-axe had belonged to the same man who kept his protective hand over Marina since the day they met when Molag Bal's worshipers tried to give their master the most worthy slave in the planes of Nirn.

 

Marina saw many weapons lying next to their former owners. It was a common procedure to honor those who had fallen in battle. However, this weapon raised to the fallen's memory caused the fear of being parted by death from the brutal warrior it belonged to.

Once she had made the climb to the top of the hill, she realized that a crippled body was leaning next to the big axe. In a panic she rushed towards it, hoping her companion still to be alive.

Toki still had his breath, but it quickly was vanishing, letting his life leave his body forever. With all of his remaining strength he looked up to her, giving her a reproachful stare; and died.

In agony Marina cried out loud, tears of painful sorrow ran down her cheeks. Heartbroken and mourning she fell to her knees and embraced Toki’s lifeless body.

 

The smell of blood filled her nose, making her thirst even more wild and furious. Then, in addition to her tears, she was also filled by shame to obey her blood crazed thirst as she tilted Toki's neck and bit his pale skin draining the last drops of his blood.

 

At first it tasted sweet but soon the taste grew awful, causing her to choke and fall into the dirt next to Toki’s body, causing her to vomit. Instead of blood his veins were filled with oily pus and maggots began to crawl out of his skin. Marina turned away in disgust, but the maggots started to bite her. She screamed in pain.

 

 

Marina kept screaming; even though she had awakened from her nightmare. She began to shiver. But she was not alone. Toki, lying next to her, gave her a passionate kiss and began stroking her hair.

As he embraced her tightly, cuddling her in his arms, Marina's fear and evil thoughts immediately left her mind. She calmly pressed herself against Toki who whispered into her ear:

 

"I always will be there for you, my cat".
