(Soverngarde)

Tsun: Hahaha!

Tsun: Well done warrior.
*Satsuki panting*

Tsun: Its been awhile since I’ve had a good fight.
Satsuki: Thank you sir.

Satsuki: I though my mother was over exaggerating those tales of you, but she was right, you are quite strong.
Tsun: Thank you little one.

Tsun: The way you fight feels familiar, much like a fellow I met a few years back. He reminds me of you. I believe Tetsu was his name.
Satsuki: Tetsu!

Satsuki: He’s here too
Tsun: You know him? Wait….ah I see, you’re his sister.

Tsun: Yes he is here. Cross the bridge and you will meet him inside.
Satsuki: I see thank you.

Tsun: let him know I wish to challenge him again.
Satsuki: I will.

Tsun: Such a fine warrior, shame th-
*walking stops*

Tsun: Hm?

Tsun: You stopped.

Tsun: Is something wrong?
Satsuki: No its just….I’m happy at the idea to see Tetsu again but….but

*Satsuki sighing*

Satsuki: I-I wasn’t ready to go, to leave her.
Tsun: a friend….or lover.

Satsuki: She was I friend I wanted to be a lover.

Tsun: I see…I’m sorry about that. But we don’t all choose how we die.
Satsuki: is it possible?

Tsun: Is what possible?
Satsuki: You are a god right?

Satsuki: Would it be possible to bring me back to life….or send me down to talk to her….just once more.
Tsun: Yes.

Tsun: But I would be breaking a code. I will not return a soul to Mudus for something so trivial.
Satsuki: please…just a few words.

Satsuki: She was my first love, I don’t want to leave without asking her a few things.

Satsuki: Please….i’ll work for you helping you guard if that’s what’s necessary.

*Tsun glances at the ground for a moment*
Satsuki: Just send me back for a moment.
Tsun: Sorry. I cannot.
Satsuki: I….I see.

Satsuki: Sorry….for begging I was jus-
Tsun: Is this woman a mage…of any kind.
Satsuki: Um….yes.

Tsun: and would you give your life for her-
Satsuki: of course!
Tsun: well, such a quick answer.

Tsun: Very well….i shall let you pass, on the condition you tell your friend not to use that spell nor teach it to anyone again. Tell her Tsun said this was her one warning.
Satsuki: What spell?
Tsun: Beneath you.

Satsuki: W-what?
Tsun: Enjoy your second chance at life.

Tsun: Satsuki Tomoko.
Satsuki: Whoa!!!

*Sound of water moving*

*Satsuki’s eyes bolt open*

*Satsuki gasping*

*Satsuki coughing*

Satsuki: W-what?

Satsuki: the…the wound's gone, I-I’m back?
*Satsuki wiping face*
Satsuki: b-but ho-*cough*how-Ah.

Satsuki: Emil-

Satsuki: *coughing hard*
*coughs up blood*

Satsuki: This is….blood from the hole, that means I really was stabbed….i really died.

Satsuki: Emily!

Satsuki: Emily wake up!

Satsuki: Gods what happened to her?

Satsuki: I need t-

Satsuki: Agnar?

Satsuki: Playing dead again!

Satsuki: I won’t be fooled twice.

Satsuki: Today you di-

*Satsuki gasping*

Satsuki: W-what in the nine!

Satsuki: w-what happened to him?

Satsuki: I was…dead so the only person who could have done this was…

Satsuki: Emily…..

Satsuki: What did you do?…….What are you?....

*Satsuki sheaths blade*
*Footsteps in water*

*Satsuki putting her arms under Emily*

Satsuki: Come on.

Satsuki: Lets get you in your home.

Satsuki: Provided I can find it….i swear I saw her enter.

(45 minutes later)
*fire crackling*

*Sound of potion bottle being set down*
Satsuki: Okay.

Satsuki: That should be enough now.

Satsuki: She should hopefully be fine now.

Satsuki: Nine please let her wake up.

Satsuki: ….that book.

Satsuki: I saw it earlier but.

Satsuki: It really has an ominous feel to it.

Satsuki: Why does she have it….well

Satsuki: guess it wouldn’t hurt to find out.

Satsuki: Its heavy.

Satsuki: and this symbol….i’m sure its Daedric….Emily…..wh-
Emily: mmmm,

Emily: *snoozing sounds*….Satsuki….don’t.

Emily: *snoozing sounds* not….you too.

*Emily’s snoozing sounds*

*Satsuki sighing*

*Satsuki setting book down gently*

*Sound of Satsuki setting down her equipment and unbuckling her armor*

Satsuki: Okay.

Satsuki: I don’t think she’ll mind if I sleep with her.

Satsuki: …..Emily.

Satsuki: please wake up.

*Satsuki laying down*
Satsuki: Please.

Satsuki: …..wake up.

*Sound of rain hitting the ground and river hard*

(Next morning)
*storm still raging on*

*Sound of objects being shuffled around*
*background* Emily: Come on, come on.

Satsuki: Hm?
*background* Emily: Go in.

Emily: Stupid fucking sword.
Satsuki: ……….Emily?

*Suddenly bolting upright*
Satsuki: EMILY!?
Emily: Hm?

Emily: *Happy gasp* SATSUKI!!!

Emily: YOU’RE AWAKE!!!
Satsuki: Whoa w-

Satsuki: Agh!
Emily: Ow!

(2 minutes later)
*stirring sounds*
Satsuki: Outside?

Satsuki: Why were you outside?

Emily: Oh that, well.

Emily: When I first woke up.

Emily: I saw your adorable face.
Satsuki: A-adora-

Emily: I was happy but I had to keep quiet, didn’t want to wake you up.

Emily: I was surprised you were able to get us inside so I decided to make sure everything was alright outside too.

Emily: and I found out the hard way my body hadn’t fully recovered, thank you for giving me those health potions by the way.

Emily: So after some stamina potions, grabbing my equipment.

Emily: and checking up on you again just to make sure you were still breathing right.

Emily: I went outside.

Emily: To make sure that bastard’s corpse was still there.

Emily: Thankfully.

Emily: It was.  

Emily: Last time I heard his corpse on solsteim was eaten by something because it was gone, but we both know that turned out to be false.

Emily: and just to make sure.

Emily: I did a little insult to injury to his body.

Emily: Before kicking him down the river.

Emily: and watching him float down the river.

Emily: no way he’s coming back from that.
Satsuki: yeah….

Satsuki: about that…….about you….and me for that matter….why…

Emily: are you still alive?

Satsuki: ….yes….Emily….what did you do?
Emily: *sigh* well.

*Emily’s footsteps*
Emily: it’s a bit complicated.

Emily: also…

Emily: I’m worried about what you’ll think of me if I do tell you what I am and what I’ve done to return you.
Satsuki: Emily.

Satsuki: You brought me back from the dead, I’m very Very greatful for that, i’m not going to judge for you what you did to a man who drove you from your home or anything in your past. Just….tell me what happened?

*Emily inhaling and exhaling*

Emily: Okay…..what do you want to know?
Satsuki: Well….lets start with something just as important, what are you?
Emily: Oh….that.

Emily: Hmmm, you familiar with Daedric species at all?
Satsuki: Not really.

Satsuki: I only know of a few, is that what you are?
Emily: Well yes and no.

Emily: I’m only….i think 1/3rd daedra…..or 1/4th. Have you ever heard of a Mazken?
Satsuki: Mazken….no…no I have not actually.

Emily: Then have you heard of a succubus?
Satsuki: A succubus.

Satsuki: Wait…aren’t those the demons that enter men’s dreams and drain their life forces and sometimes souls.
Emily: Yes.

Satsuki: so….you’re one of those?
Emily: ……partly yes.

Satsuki: Wait how did you end up being part Succubus? When did this happen?
Emily: Oh um.

Emily: back on solsteim actually.
Satsuki: on Solsteim….really?
Emily: Yep.

Emily: Do you….wanna hear about it? Or just want me to skip to the resurrection, because there is a lot of fucking before I get to how I got there.
Satsuki: Does you becoming this….succubus have to do with you getting the ability to resurrect the dead?
Emily: Yes.

Satsuki: Then yes please, I was curious why you aren’t so as enthused about killing bandits as you made yourself to be at the end of that. But at the time I was nervous about getting you mad again…..it’s not too much trouble if I ask, I don’t want to bring up bad memor-
Emily: Pfft, its fine.

Emily: Compared to what happened with Targoth, this was one of the less traumatizing situations I was in…..surprisingly.

Emily: Though I will say I was pretty crazy at the time.

Emily: So, where should I begin?

Satsuki: Probably where you left off, about being the demon of solstheim.
Emily: Oh yes.

(3 years ago, Solstheim)
Emily: After Targoth died I started hunting bandits all over solsthiem.

Emily: Normally this would be fine but…

Emily: I was overdoing it.
*sound of someone pulling themselves on the ground*
???: groaning

Emily: in fact I was um…
*sound of someone pulling themselves on the ground*
Bandit: agh.

Emily: what’s that’s the word I’m looking for.
Bandit: please.

Emily: umm.
Bandit: *cough* let me go.

Emily: oh yeah.
Bandit: please.

Emily: Mentally unstable.
Emily: no.

Bandit: GAHHH!!
*sound of battleaxe chopping into flesh multiple times.*

Emily: To say I was simply hunting bandits would be an understatement. For the next 2 months after Targoth died I was hunting.

Emily: I was trying to make sure I exterminated them no matter what form they took.
Bandit: GAH!

Emily: All of them.

Emily: I didn’t back down against any foe no matter how strong.
Bandit Chief: You bitch!

Emily: and I used my hunting skills to find any bandit.

Emily: no matter where they hid.

Emily: I rarely went home too.

Emily: Reminded me too much of Targoth.
Satsuki: Did you ever run into any trouble.
Emily: Of course.

Emily: But most days were good.

Emily: But on rare occasions I’d find something tougher than a bandit, the werebears.

Emily: But by that point I could defeat them, abet not without needing a good rest afterwards.

Emily: My friends in Ravenrock were worried about me, wanting me to slow down.

Emily: Even captain Veleth tried to get me to work with a girl named Noir, an assassin who I would later work with.

Emily: But at the time I rejected their help, wanting to go it alone.

Emily: However about a month and a half into those two months I started getting crazier.

Emily: Becoming more violent.

Emily: Not only was I hunting the bandits.

Emily: But I often tortured them.

Emily: riddling them with arrows.

Emily: I stopped trying to sleep and eat, constantly patrolling the island for more bandits. But because of this.

Emily: I never looked at my surroundings.

Emily: and what was happening to the island.

Emily: Finally at the two month mark this came to bite me in the ass.

Emily: The bandit chiefs had tried to come together to kill me in an ambush, it didn’t work and I succeeded in defeating them.

Emily: But not without getting hurt badly myself.

Emily: I attempted to head home.

Emily: But the lack of food and sleep had finally caught up with me.

Emily: and I passed out in the snowy mountains by a cave.

Emily: In what would be the worst, yet best life changing events that could happen.
Riekling: Wachat

Riekling: Et cha cha.
