A Double Chapter! one daily and one of the uys
(Part 1: Gecko)
As Alina was done with the song, the crowd took a second to breathe and realize what just happened As expected frohter of Kyne, her voice was on another level Putting that aside, the song and thewave that took the casino by a stor who appeared out of nowhere, every one of the went on till it was over
Alina walked down the stage finally after letting go of the hard feelings she had only to find High King Torygg walking towards her There see away from that man
”Thane Alina Firemane, a word please”
”Yes, Your Grace You could have just sent for me”
”It's okay While we're at it, I want to ask about a certain solad to help, Your Grace Who are you looking for?” Alina asked
”A Thane of mine, Thane Erikur”
Alina was quite in theto her heart's content for ten lare at the High King who personally took the initiative to speak with her The King himself felt the amount of pressure that Alina was about to throw at him
She hurriedly came to her mind and let out a deep breath
”I am sure, Your Grace, that you are well aware of Erikur's crimes in Winterhold and a crieted my Husband, my Brother-in-law, our business, our lives, and ht that could be avoided Si him out like that is an insult to Winterhold, the Firemanes, the Moonblades and all our Friends I'm sure the Gold-Hair Clan also has the same opinion”
Alina's reply was full of sharpness as she was annoyed She even 's backers and his wife's clan
In truth, Jon has shown the ut the exile play but also by sparing a lot of lives froon Hunt Alliance The words of ”You Are Free” that Jon used and his speech reached far and wideevery clan complement his wisdom and ability All the clans of Skyrim are the core power of Skyrig surely understood what kind of ridiculous thing he asked
”He ht I wouldn't bother if he is dead but his life willhis assets faster His sister will serve as a better replaceet exiled fro said sincerely
”Fine, he is still alive but I doubt he will be of any use” Alina said
”What is thebehind Torygg asked
”I should send so” Alina signaled to an assistant and was about to send an order
”No need, ant to see things ourselves” Torygg took another approach
”Very well, this way”
Alina walked out of the casino and took the way North to a building near the Dare Barracks, this was Winterhold's prison, the Black Roo with barely any opening other than a heavyand his attendants followed Alina in and the scene took the froround and seeround with prison cells dug in its walls Any prisoner in here have the liberty to pick whichever lock they want but good luck cliical restrictions that don't allow the use of any drop of Magicka without certain itereeted the nobles who arrived and activated a certain mechanism that moved a wooden platforuests to join her
They were surely worried about the lift that n round until it reached the seventh level which is the lowest one
”How did you people dig a hole like that?” Torygg asked
”Utility Frost Atronaches and latter Stone Foundation Atronaches”
”Incredible!”
Alina led the group to the cell deepest in the deepest floor and opened it up The ominous and dark that flowed froh to stay there lose their roup looked around and found nothing
”What is theof this?” Falk asked Alina with a stern tone
”Hold on” Sybille said as she seems to have discovered soht and the cell lit up
There was indeed someone that Sybille could see before the others because of her being a vampire Still, the scene was horrible
A le sound He had no hair on his head or face and his skin hite like a sheet Terror filled his eyes as he tried to look away from Alina If Jon saw that man, he may mistake hi saw the s and could tell his identity by just the outline of his face
”Erikur?”
””
Erikur, or the one who used to be Erikur, was shaking fro to just open a black hole and disappear into it
”This is how in the world did this happen?” Falk asked Alina
”We never tortured hi” Alina replied nonchalantly
”True but you used your eyes on him the same way you used it on the Arch Wizard Altured it out
”Guilty” Alina didn't even bother denying it
The Fate of Thane Erikur was the ruesome between those who made enemies with Winterhold He was by far the on Company and their Allies, he stupidly walked in Winterhold thinking about conquering it driven by his hate towards Jon, he ignored the king's constant orders of dropping the anied to drive Erikur to a corner many times and showed his incompetence when he severed him from his Altmer caretaker and that was the downfall of Erikur
There is no pitying the fool He lost in the end and got his mind broken, death should put an end to hiscan't say on Company which is bad for business as Erikur used to say
”I think we can't do anything about that” Torygg said, ”His sins are grave and we can never request for his atonement The official story will be that Thane Erikur perished in a storates of Winterhold alone with the spear tips to his back”
Torygg turned around to leave but he halted next to Alina
”I hope that Kyne will grant him a merciful end”
”By your wish, Your Grace”
Alina nodded and saw the group out but she still re no sound in the corner
”You have done well, Gecko”
”Heek!”
Erikur or rather Gecko, cowered in his corner as if a lared and shi+fted into snake eyes, she gave Gecko a strong pressure that made his limbs twist and his body quiver in pain
”You know, Gecko, I aive you a naratulations for ht, the past few days I didn't show up because I was busy, forgive me, Gecko Jon caot about you But now, Gecko, Jon has left ain because of what you did, Gecko If you only didn't start all that, Jon's true identity would have been kept secret and none of this was to happen Don't you think you are a bad person, Gecko?”
Alina's eyes showed a glare of anger and a look of madness She tormented Gecko with her eyes till his screa, Gecko You know, my husband left me with a certain Daedric Artifact that eats away people's thoughts and turn theame I will leave this artifact in this prison around you and it will torment you while I am away, I'm sure you will love this Gecko”
Alina hand the [Skull of Corruption] hidden in her robe She took it out and fixed it outside Gecko's cell Jon has actually used the Skull like that before and used the Black Rooe the Skull that is why it was built seven layers underground Each layer deeper has athe Seven Layers of hell froy that start with the Abyss at the top and Gehenna as the bottoicka started to spread around The Black Rooy in and not leak it out htmare to criminals in Winterhold
Alina looked Gecko as biting on his fingertips froony
”Kyne would have shown mercy but Vaermina wouldn't I shouldn't do this but I can't help it, Gecko I can't help but fall to temptation and be driven to sin We are all sinners after all, why hide from it?”
Alina sealed the cell door and with it the Fate of Erikur
(Part 2: Polyjuice)
Away from Winterhold on the top of a certaindown on the bloody mess Jon left behind She was infuriated beyond words but little she can do now
She knew those people have no chance against Jon but at least the could et to capture Unfortunately, that was not true Jon was too vicious using everything around hie, as far as she is aware, the normal Telekinesis spell can't carry a few tons like so spell
Still, an Arch Wizard like her could handle a fight against Jon The only reason why she didn't step in or rather, the only reason why she couldn't step in was that sword on her throat
”He is gone, can I go now?” Elenwen asked
