Chapter 97: Nefertitis Transformation! (2/2)

”Wait, you could hear her again?”

We couldn't even focus on one probleht anymore! We were in a deadlock between 'Nefertiti's new appearance' and 'Could it be that Jullanar can only hear Nefertiti in her new appearance' along with everything weird that happened that night

I had to contact 'The Augur' again to report the development to hiot a 'Beast Astral Extension' into her soul

A 'Beast Astral Extension' is the Soul Magic Technique that Hircine uses to create his were-creatures

”But shouldn't the 'Beast Astral Extension' be a Soul refined by Hircine to be attached to a Mortal Black Soul? How co like that?”

{That would be true if the cat's soul was truly a White Soul but there is so that only few may be aware off}

”What is that?”

{Rather than the Mortal Black Souls, the Lesser White Souls, and the Divine Dragon Souls, the souls of the cats can be considered unique a all of these souls}

”I am not sure I follow Is this the reason why the 'Beast Astral Extension' got attached to her?”

{Maybe! It is rather a complicated issue But I reh Elf) Wizard claiic the same way mortals do yet they are unaware of it But his theory was debunked for the lack of evidence and some other notable mistakes}

This e could find around the subject and we ended the discussion after he assured er on Nefertiti's life

I was still worried and couldn't really get ether around that problem

I asked many questions to Nefertiti who told me the story of how the wolves chased her and the Aspect of Hircine gave her 'light' after it broke the ring I retrieved

She couldn't understand what the Aspect generally wanted to say but he was interested in soot chills down in my spine from these words! They only added to my headache

And froood ter competition behind my back

I had no power to scold the about life

The seventh day, today, came and I noticed that I have wasted a lot of tio back to Winterhold now

I can go back to Winterhold in four days on the Flame Horse Atronach if I wanted but I had so so

I want to visit 'Ivarstead' and 'Windhel else

But today I had to finish the last quest I was here for

The 'Star of Azura'!

I took the girls and rode until we reached 'Lake Ilinalta' north to the town of Falkreath From there I conjured the Flame Atronach Hawk and rode on it across the lake to the north

The reason why I didn't use the Flame Atronach Haas the woods around Falkreath I aood with the spell so I can make it fly only up to ten to fifteen h

As ere on a lake like that, I asked myself, why the hell not fly? And so it was decided to fly

For that reason, we arrived at the northern part of the lake, the Flame Atronach Hawk landed on some old ruined fort that mostly sank underwater It was called 'Ilinalta's Deep'

Ilinalta's Deep was originally an Imperial outpost, known as Fort Ilinalta, until it fell into the lake due to instability caused by experie called Malyn Varen Ruo there

Malyn Varen is a Dune of Winterhold for pursuing questionable research with Soul Ge a student, and many other unacceptable acts Malyn's experiments were to find a way to beco his soul in Azura's Star would prevent hi The problem with this is that one of the properties of the star is that no huaoal, the more Azura cursed hi him to ”hear voices” that were not there, see people that were not there, and eventually, to e, collected a band of followers, and continued his research here as he sought to capture his own soul in the Star to achieve a state of ioal to some extent, however, he must continually be 'fed' souls from the outside world to continue his state of existence

After we infiltrated the keep, we found Malyn's cult of folloere doing his bidding They were all stationed in the sunken outpost The appearance of soand sacrificing people for quite soot really weird and that brings us to this very e black cat and a crazy half-elf archer arethe hell out of the cultists and the undead in this fort

No one is safe!

Jullanar is using herdown es with one arrow

Nefertiti was faster than anything I have seen A second she is her, another she is there And her claws can cut anything, even soot torn apart

I was following the tent on a ra what they started Some cultists were left alive with torn li the people they left to die in pain

How did things come to this?

”Jon, I finished theuys killed anything killable already

For some reason, I had no power to refute at all

I just went to the room where the broken Star of Azura where and picked the da up

After a small tour around the fort once ood nuems, some research papers, and some books then headed out

'Ilinalta's Deep' underwater fort was cleared with a time record that day

Next destination! Ivarstead
