[S:S] Two Corpses in One Grave #2
[ Chapter 2: The Difference between a Monster and a Villain ]
Mercy
Hmm... a lone Dremora, is that really all you could conjure Dagon?
Mercy
Hey Skeeverbutt!
Mercy
Come and get me!
Dremora
I honor my lord, by destroying YOU!
Mercy
Yeah yeah, how many times have I heard that?
Mercy
Puny Dremora
Mercy
Your about to learn who really is your Master is
Mercy
And this is only going to be fun for one of us
Mercy
Enough with the stare Dremora, I've beaten you, submit now and the pain will end soon enough
Mercy
Very well then
Mercy
Each moan of your pain pleases me, each time I pushed my boots against your tiny little cock it pleases me. You will want to please me every chance you get when your mine!
Mercy
Who needs Magic to bind you into submission?
When I can break you into submission
Mercy
Now, Keep your eyes on me Dremora or I'll tear out one of these horns from your skull, and yes it will be very painful indeed!
Mercy
THAT'S IT! Finally!
I feel something poking up inside me after all time!
Mercy
Fuck me little Daedra, fuck your new Master into submission if you can? Fuck!
Mercy
Hahahahah... I wonder if Angela is having as much fun as I am?
Gorm
Halt! Who dares approach the Jarl uninvited?
Angela
Just a humble servant of the Divines Jarl.
Idgrod Ravencrone
Stand down Gorm. She is most welcome in Morthal. Come child, speak and let these old eyes see your fresh face
Angela
Thank you Jarl, I'm Angela Healing-Hands, I'm seeking a group of Vigilantes who may have traveled though Morthal recently, I was hoping you could assist me in finding where they went?
Idgrod Ravencrone
You seek the Vigilants of Stendar? I've have not had any dealings with them for some time. Rumor is they were all wiped at their Hall near Dawnstar, yet I have... seen things.
A group will come and they seek to cleanse the Daedric shrine of Dagon. That is who you seek.
Angela
I was told they were heading here, not sure if I was ahead or behind them. Thank you Jarl, I'll--
Idgrod Ravencrone
I have helped you, now I was wondering if you'd be able to help me? If you are true to your word as a Agent of the Divines then you will help no matter the deed, yes? I have seen dark days ahead for my people, and you must play your role in their survival.
Angela
My role? What do you mean?
Idgrod Ravencrone
Lean what happen at Hroggar's burned home. Uncover the Evil that has nested in my Town. Find it and root it out, you are our only hope child.
Angela
Ugh.... alright then. I guess I can look around for a while.
Angela
Hmm, lets see here: House burned down roughly around 4 weeks ago, snows covered all the ash by now. Nothing remains but the shell of the house. Nothing important anyway
Alva
It was a terrible thing that happened. My heart goes out to Hroggar for his lose. Such a horrible thing
Angela
Yes, such a horrible thing to happen, indeed. To lose not only your wife but child too in one night.
Alva
Yes well... oh! I'm sorry, it was rude of me to just barge in on you while you paid your respects.
Angela
It's fine friend. I'm Angela, and you are?
Alva
Alva, and I should mention Hroggar is a close friend of mine.
I'm doing my best to look after him after this horrible accident
Angela
I'm sure you are Alva.
Alva
Yes, well if you wish to pay your respects in full, his wife and child are buried up the path. What's left of them anyways
Angela
I will. Thank you
Alva
This Town, it's so...
Angela
Dead?
Alva
Yes... that's one word for it. With the recent rumors of Dragons returning to Skyrim the Townsfolk have been on their toes ever since word for Helgen reached us. And now there is talk of a Vampire uprising in the West. Damn fools believe anything they hear these says I say
Angela
Yes, but fear not for the Divines will protect us from their evil.
Besides Vampires are... easy to spot, and kill
Alva
Oh really? Tell me then, how do you spot one?
Angela
Oh that's easy friend.
Alva
Yes?
Angela
They normally have to stay in the shadows, never in sunlight for too long or they turn to ash well mostly anyway. Their eye sight is like a hawks and can smell a single drop blood a mile away. The main feature that gives them away is their teeth and eyes.
Alva
Their teeth you say?
Angela
Yes
Alva
How can you know such things, have you encountered Vampires before?
Angela
I have, normally a few good hits with my mace here will kill them, or my magic burns them till they are but ash. But I've met powerful ones too, ones even I dare not mess with.
Alva
So deadly, so protective, so passionate
Angela
I'm all those things, and more friend
Alva
I bet all the men and woman chase after you then?
Angela
Not really, well one person does
Alva
Really? Well, you look... delicious
Angela
I'm sure I do Alva. I'm sure I do
Alva
Yes... but, what do you think happen here, on that horrible night?
Angela
Nothing really, it's as they say. It burned down by accident. No ones to blame for sure. Likely as they say Bear fat caught fire and whole house went up in flames
Alva
Shame, well farewell. I hope we meet one another again soon
Angela
We will Vampire, we will.
Angela
Alright, what's a Vampire doing in Morthal? Maybe to have Falion cure her? No no she's shacked up with--
Helgi's Ghost
Cold... she is cold
Angela
Huh?
Helgi's Ghost
I'm so very cold. Mama!
Angela
By the Gods!
Helgi's Ghost
Wheres Mama, wheres Papa?
Angela
Its okay little one, I'm a friend of your ugh... Papa.
Helgi's Ghost
Your a friend? Like the other one?
Angela
Yes... I'm Angela and... what do you mean other one?
Helgi's Ghost
Yes, she wants to play with me. But I'm tired, so very tired.
Angela
It's okay. Can you tell me who this other one is?
Helgi's Ghost
She only comes at night, it's... cold, very cold here.
I want Mama!
Angela
It's alright, what is your name?
Helgi's Ghost
Helgi, Papa said not to talk to strangers but you seem nice.
Angela
You can trust me, I'm going to make sure you and your Mama rest okay?
Angela
Ahh! Gods... Vampires, and now Ghosts.
Angela
I swear on my parents that I will put you to rest Helgi
Angela
No Flowers? Odd, no gifts nothing... is this Alva's doing?
Angela
The graves are not even marked. Do they not care for their dead?
Thronnir
There is no Hall of the dead in Morthal Stranger.
This is the best we can do for our loved ones
Angela
I'm sorry, I did not mean to sound disrespectful
Thronnir
You did not. Did you... lose someone too?
Angela
Not recently, no. Did you?
Thronnir
I lost my wife, Laelette. She's.... gone now.
Angela
I'm sorry to hear that. So much death these days.
Thronnir
Yes, with the Civil War no less I fear many more will die before it ends. She ran off to join the Stormcloaks you see and... well that's what Alva says anyway.
Angela
Alva told you that? Why would she, did your wife speak to her before she left Morthal?
Thronnir
I'm not.... sure. Strange, they hated each other just a fortnight before she left, but one day she comes home talking about how great Alva is. Maybe she convinced her Ulfric's claim was true or that the Stormcloaks were better then the Empire. But only the Gods know
Angela
Maybe?
Thronnir
Hmm, you don't think Alva did something to her, do you?
Angela
No, not at all. Now excuse me, I have matters to attend to
Treasure Hunter #1
Alright lads, this site should have some good hidden treasure for us, and no walking dead around so it should be as easy as that job near Falkreath was
Treasure Hunter #2
What kind of treasure?
Treasure Hunter #3
The gold kind?
Mercy
Well... hello
Mercy
Whats this, a little grave robbing?
Mercy
Well, I can't allow you to disturb these poor souls and steal from them, from one tortured soul to another
Dremora
I have crushed the puny mortals my Mistress
Mercy
Yes, you have, well done my pathetic Dremora
Dremora
And what shall you have me do next?
Mercy
Well firstly your gonna stop talking!
Your voice is like nails on a chalk bored.
Mercy
Then we are going to have a some more fun, I mean kill more bandits! Not what you are likey thinking Dremora.
Mercy
Then, after that. Well, we will see if I'm in the mood, or if my Sister is. She likes'em big
Mercy
Now, begone from my sight. I'll summon you back once I need you again worthless being
Laelette The Vampire
My sweet child, finally its time to--
Angela
Leave her alone!
Laelette The Vampire
Aww... yes, it's you
Angela
Yeah, it's me. Vampire!
Laelette The Vampire
My Mistress warned--
Angela
Did she now? Good, I was hoping for this
Angela
Now what in the Gods name were you going to do with that poor child's body?
Angela
So you were either doing to do some kind of Necromancy on her?
Or... Ugh, no not gonna say that out loud.
Angela
Either way, what does this have to do with the deaths of Hroggar's wife and child?
Thronnir
Laelette! She's....
Angela
A Vampire. Recently turned too. I'd say... 3 weeks at tops
Thronnir
A Vampire? Gods, what happen to you my love?
Angela
I think I have an idea
Thronnir
You do? Tell me, please!
Angela
You said she went off to join the Stormcloaks, so either she was killed and turned while on her way to Windhelm or--
Thronnir
You think Alva is a Vampire? Killed and turned my wife?
No! I refuse it!
Angela
It's possible though
Thronnir
I refuse to believe it. Alva is not a Vampire!
Angela
Of course you do, your in shock. Please, remain calm.
Thronnir
Gods... what is going on in this town?
Angela
I'm afraid I'm not 100% on that, yet.
Thronnir
Gods... the Sun is about to rise, please what do we do with her?
Angela
I know someone, he will help her, once this whole thing is settled.
Thronnir
Help her?
Angela
Trust me, he can cure her.
I've seen him do it a few times myself.
Thronnir
You mean the Mage?
Angela
Yes, an old friend from my College days. He taught me a great deal, well before the former Archmage kicked him out, or he left was not too sure on the true story to be honest
Thronnir
Magic! Damn it's always magic in these kinds of mess!
Angela
Yes yes I know how your people hate magic. Now listen, take her to his house. Tell him Mer... I mean Angela sent you. He will understand. He will cure her, in time.
Thronnir
Thank you, oh Gods! Thank you!
Angela
Your welcome friend.
Thronnir
Wait, where are you going?
Angela
To have a little chat with a friend... of sorts.
Angela
It all makes sense now.
Angela
You are the reason behind all of this madness!
Angela
Alva, the Vampire!
Alva The Vampire
HAHAHAHA!
Alva The Vampire
So you've worked it all out then my dear dear friend?
Angela
I've worked out that you must have killed and turned Laelette, then at some point you had her burn down Hroggar's house and kill his wife and child!
Alva The Vampire
And if I was to tell you that I am well aware of who you really are, Mercy
Angela
Well firstly I'm Angela, not Mercy. She's my... Sister, in a way.
Alva The Vampire
Still, you and your Sister have worked with my kind in the past. Your not a threat to us, you even aid us from time to time. My Master knew it was you from the moment I told him about you at the burned down house. He said you could be useful to us
Angela
If your a threat the lives of the innocent people who live here then I have no reason to aid you.
What is your Masters plan Alva?
Alva The Vampire
We have no intention of killing them if that's what you mean?
Angela
Really?
Alva The Vampire
My Master's plan is to turn Morthal into our own feeding ground. A Vampire controlled town, protected from any outside threats. The cattle, will still live and thrive as they do now.
Angela
And your telling me this why?
Alva The Vampire
Like I said, I know you and your not as good willed as you let on.
Angela
I am a Agent of the Divines Alva, and your the spawn of a Evil Daedric Prince
Alva The Vampire
Yes I am, but I've never pretended that I am not.
Not like how you pretend to be as good willed as you let on anyway
Angela
Why should I believe what you say?
Alva The Vampire
It's all in my diary, if you wish to simply kill me and take it to the Jarl then do so. But, if you'll listen to me and accept that we can come to a agreement without anymore bloodshed then please do?
Angela
Very well. Speak!
Alva The Vampire
I have told you of my Masters plan.
What of I was to go against it?
Angela
Why would you do that?
Alva The Vampire
I know what you did to Laelette, you spared her. But why?
Angela
She's a victim of your lust for power. You killed her
Alva The Vampire
Yes.. I turned her to be my hand maiden, she was to cause the house to burn, but not kill them. I punished her for it deeply, but I fear she sank into madness too soon after that, she become obsessed with the child.
You think I want the death of a child on my consonance?
No, when I informed my Master of what happend and he laughed as did many others when I suggested we alter our plans. It turns out I like Laelette are just simple pawns in a game of chess.
I'm a Vampire but not a Monster Angela
Angela
I don't see a difference?
Alva The Vampire
I know you think me a fool, think I am lying that somehow my humanity remains after my own death. I am not. I enjoy this life, but I do not enjoy the evilness it brings with it. When I saw the smoke I was pleased as I thought everything was going to plan, till I heard the screams. The burning smell of flesh, my smile turned and so did I.
Angela
So your a good vampire huh?
Alva The Vampire
No, I doubt such a thing could exist in this world. But, I want to avenge them. I've have been contracted, by a another Vampire no less. One who works for a Higher power then my Master does. I'm going to help her stop him and save this town Angela.
Angela
Why would you do that though?
Alva The Vampire
Because, I want to and like I said, they need to be avenged.
Angela
How can I trust what you say? I have enough evidence for the Jarl to take action and a few moments ago you spoke as if you'd ask me to join you in taking control of this town?
Alva The Vampire
I needed to know what side you were on.
Like I said my Master knows you, knows of you I mean. You've helped others in the past take over forts, have blood feasts.
Now you want to protect this town, why the sudden chance?
Angela
I have a code. The people of Morthal do not deserve this fate. I used to save the good and punish the bad, now I serve the good. And Mercy punishes the bad.
Alva The Vampire
Yes.. well we must act fast.
The Guard have been mostly seduced by me and a few more of his court, but they are all under his control. My Master says kill and they kill everyone in their sight.
Angela
Gods! And how do we stop that?
Alva The Vampire
By letting me prove to you that I am on the side of the living, for now anyways.
Angela
Really? How are you gonna do that?
Alva The Vampire
Like this my dear friend
Angela
Hmm?
Angela
Okay... I guess sex with a Vampire is now ticked off my list of kinks to achieve before old age, older age uh....
Angela
Now, do I take your journal to the Jarl or do I trust you enough to side with you?
Alva The Vampire
I can hear you, you know?
Angela
Joking! I'm joking
Alva The Vampire
Take my journal if you wish, read it or give it to the Jarl it matters not. She will be here soon and I must go meet with her
Angela
Who, who will be here soon?
Alva The Vampire
My Queens problem solver
Angela
Queen? Oh great... this day just gets stranger and stranger
