Chapter 17
Still featuring The Dust
- So Alana, where is your camel?
- I left it here.
- If this camel is the same who brought me here, it should have went back to the tunnel.
It doesn’t matter if I walk around naked or dressing this outfit. Bad things will happen anyway.
And I don’t care if someone kills me thinking I’m a Thalmor agent. I’m not anymore, but I wish I were. Oh look at me talking with myself. I’m going crazy.
Or am I already crazy? Maybe I am. If I wasn’t so selfish about Ruby I wouldn’t be here now.
- Dammit Elen, you tried to rape her and blamed her all your life. Where is she now? Is she still alive?
-Shit. I ruined her life. I ruined my life!
- If she is still alive you should apologize her.
- Yeah. I’m sorry Ruby. I’m sorry for being so selfish.
- Maybe I deserve all of this. Maybe I deserve to die alone in this desert.
- You don’t darling. Get up.
- Ruby, is that you?
- We heard you screaming.
- But how is that possible?
- That’s a long history. But there’s no time to tell now. Let’s go away from this desert.
- Look at her.
... She is so vunerable now. So older…
- What? Don’t listen to her. She is your only chance to leave this desert.
- Shut up. Both of you. Leave me in peace.
… Two mirages are all I don’t need now.
- Finally we met again after all these years.
… Where is Leda?
- I can take you to her.
- Who are you?
- Camila. I’ve been doing some dirt jobs for that dragon, but I’m tired. What about you?
- I’m Queen Emma and this is my ship that was stolen twenty years ago.
- Well, I see we have a little bit in common.
- Now tell me where is she?
- Inside a cave in an archipelago. It will take two weeks if we leave now.
- How do I know I can trust you?
- I need to come back to rescue someone who was kidnapped by her orders.
- I won’t be coming back to Tamriel and I’ll take my ship back to my land.
- Fine.
- No discretion is needed. We know each other well enough to know what happens next.
- What do you want?
- The death of Morgana.
- I can’t do it alone.
- What about your sisters?
- There are no sisters, it’s just me.
- Really?
- It was easy to get to you. Your crush on that peculiar woman.
- My weakness. I can help you with two or three centurions. I didn’t find more of them and I don’t have the necessary equipment to build from scratch.
- Even with that, it’s not enough to get to Morgana.
- But we can scare her.
- We have only one chance to get to her.
- What do you suggest?
- Wait a friend come back from the desert. I hope she found who she was expecting to find.
- And who this person is?
- The dragonborn.
- The dragonborn? Isn’t the last one in Sovngard?
- If it’s truth, then we can’t find against an army of falmers.
- Or we can build our army of animunculi. I have three centurions and about ten spheres in my storeroom. We could go down Mzulft and get more.
- I’m an assassin. I work on shadows. And I’m not crazy enough to fight against a machine.
- I teach you how to turn them off before they can even detect you.
- It’s safe now.
- I’m going to sleep
- Ruby, you got so older.
- What did you expect? 25 years passed. And you look like 30.
- I don’t eat meat, you know.
- So it’s just what you eat?
- Maybe. What happened to you these years?
- Well, after your desperate need to have sex with me, I freaked out. You knew that I hated my body that way.
- That way you mean you no longer have that?
- If you want to know if I’m a normal woman like you, yes. I have a pussy and periods every month, at least I had until last year.
- But you didn’t come back to Skyrim.
- The price I had to pay.
- What is it?
- To have a child and give it to someone else. They didn’t let me see her even after birth. All I know is she is 23 now.
- It seems cruel.
- It is. I don’t regret the decisions I made but that.
- It wasn’t under your control.
- Yes, it wasn’t, but it is now, since I’m the oldest witch of the eight.
- The eight… The coven?
- Yes, the coven of the eight.
- Wow, I wouldn’t have enough courage.
- I made was necessary to cure that pain. I regret not raising that child but I’m proud of who I am now.
- I’m sorry if I blamed you or spent years planning to kill you. I know where your daughter is. I kidnapped her.
- You what? Are you mad?
- I think I am. Dammit I’m a kind of psycho.
- Where is she now?
- Somewhere even I don’t know how to reach.
- I should left you to die in the desert.
- I know and I deserve.
- For sure.
Morgana is very well protected. It’s not smart to get to her now. I should find that crazy sister first. I hope she don’t be surprised to see me, since she didn’t honored her contract to kill me.
