”How familiar?” Jon asked
”” Xikil refused to answer
”Well, one of the lad's ladies dwell around the place That boy is a lady killer I tell you, popular with all sorts of female Daedra” Sir Cadwell said with a sly smile
”Tsk” Xikil seemed annoyed by the fact
”Popular with female Daedra?” Jon looked at Xikil in a different way, ”You never toldSir Cadwell, I want details”
”Tsk tsk tsk” Sir Cadwell shook his head, ”The poor boy attracts that sort of attention all the ti to the eyes but Daedra they will always be”
”Fine, no spoilers I expect ill come across a member of your harem over there Do introduce”

Not a few steps later, soht up and in the air by a spider string upside down
”Waah! No! Dammit! I knew this would happen”
Desperation appeared on his face as he struggled left and right to break free but a sudden chilly sensation crawled up his spine and guts This was so he is very familiar with
”Mo- Moncha? Is- is that you?” Xikil talked meekly
”I knew~ I smelled it~ it was you, dear Xikil” A creepy hoarse voice echoed around Xikil
”Oh, no! By the Lord… damn you, mortal Fishsticks! Mortal, Fishsticks!” Xikil cursed at Jon as he saw the monster that appeared in front of hi appearance and a sinister look on her face
”Weak pathetic Xikil, I knew you would come to find me one day I was about to co Spider Daedra approached, Xikil started resisting as much as he could Her evil hoarse voice made him want to break free and run She held hi his body

”I said Fishsticks! Please!”
”Don't worry, this time will be on Moncha's hands Do you re your liver e had our best ue… or your eyeballs” The Spider Daedra was digging her claws in Xikil's abdoue
”Nooo! Fishsticks!” Xikil kept only shouting this word

”He is collapsed over there?” Serana pointed behind the tree

”… No… he al his voice froreed to say such a silly safeword by the way”
Xikil looked towards Jon's direction with disappoint fate put him with that Mortal that can haunt the Daedra?

Jon could cal Xikil to death
”Still, you have an Arachne girlfriend Boy, I know a few people who actually envy you by now”
”Leave o through the crazy girlfriend experience at soather the flowers” Jon patted Xikil's shoulder with a heavy hand then walked away and started following hi stones stood around a short structure in a dark forest The central one carried the symbol of Kyne
”So, this is the shrine?” Jon asked
”Right here, you can find the flowers around but they tend to hide very well” Xikil said
Jon looked around the shrine and found to stone tablets around it, each one had an ode written on it by the runic language Jon could read it
The first ode was called [Kyne's Tears] It said ”Dark clouds gather in the sky above Kyne weeps for joy at the beauty of the world Tears warrow The sacred stone reveals the flowers of her tears”
The second ode was called [Hidden Tears] It said ” The sacred stone responds to the land where her tears fell Tears to purify hearts, the earth, the water, the very air around us Kyne whispers and weeps in the hallowed places”
The two odes spoke of how to locate the sacred flowers that grew around the shrine and the Power of Purification they had
”Good, these flowers indeed carry the scent of Nirn, I want everyone to split up and look around for theuide you with Telepathy” Jon said and the three nodded
In less than an hour, the teaathered more than 10 Tears of Kyne which were floith red petals and enchanting scent
Jon stored theht away in the [Cube] for their quality not to drop
The four returned to the Everfull Flagon to find Sir Cadwell sitting alone with other Soul Shriven in the abandoned tavern
”Oh! Krilon,the Lie Spinner spider”
”It was nothing”
