As the threats were over around Mournhold, the city could take a breather for the co few months The opposition between the Government, the Te of so what House Dres tried to do in Narsis and how House Indoril was about to hinder the missions if the Labourers of Azura, Boethiah and Mephala Of course, the Government and the Temple could put ones be bygones after some donations and contributions
Politics was always like that at the end of the day Religions create lines, Coins solve probleendas within agendas
Regarding the Labourers, Mirren and Miranda, as well as Isha, seemed to have finished their seven Labours and paid the Daedra back Jon, however, was sitting alone thinking while looking at Isha from afar
He just received his Seventh Labour from Aranea
”Follow the Spearmaiden and your Labour will be revealed” She said
He could prettyplayer in his Final Labour but
”You bastards, the girl has gone through Oblivion to finish her Labours and go home What more do you want from her?” Jon roared at Aranea back then
Not that he could expect an answer but all he was told was that she will need hiure out an excuse to say that he will stick around with her or anything
” Goddammit” Jon could only bury his face between his arets better somehow
”So the Martial Arts schools in Haht? We wanted to try the Dun” Mirren spoke to Lan a conversation at the bar area
”I can help with that I am from a renowned Martial Arts school myself and I have friends in various schools but do you think it is a good idea being an Alt around Ha as there is ato oing to Oblivion if it takes that” Mirren replied
”Our Master wanted us to compete with other martial artists if possible” Even the quiet Miranda decided to join
”What school are you from?” (Isha)
”Desert Wind” (Mirren)
”From Elsweyr? That's famous” (Isha)
”What about you?” (Miranda)
”Ebonarm Citadel, the Western Mosque” (Isha)
”The School of the Spear Battlelord?” (Miranda)
”That's a surprise” (Mirren)
”I am an instructor at my school You can follow me back home if you wish, I'll show you around and introduce you to my brother” (Isha)
Jon's ear suddenly reacted like a cat's ear to that last thing
”Can I tag along as well?” He said right away
The rest looked at him with narrowed eyes
”You are interested in Martial Arts?” Mirren asked
”Do Nords have any Martial Traditions other than training their Battle-Spirits and swinging around their axes?” Even Isha wondered
Jon felt a bit aard It was a coe that Nords, Breton and Altmer don't practice Martial Arts the saonians, Dunmer and sometimes Imperials are very enthusiastic about Martial Arts but it is a common misconception that other races don't do as well
All races practiced martial arts someway or another else there would be no people known as warriors Traditional Martial Arts weren't necessarily what everyone needed as cos were already widespread Most would associate the Technique to the Weapon rather than to a Style School Nords had Axeht different than a Breton Axe Warband, soroups while others are suitable for individuals but it was all about the weapon in the end
Still, it ard not to nale martial art in front of them
”We have Gli]
”That's just wrestling Everyone wrestle” Mirren retorted
”Then I'll go with you Maybe I'll gain soenda perfectly
”Good, the more the merrier” Isha said
”What about your last Labour? Won't you go slay one of those Dragons you don't shut up about?” Mirren aimed where it hurts
”Ah Well, Araneaabout my Labour”
”Oh! What is it?” The three were interested right away
”Well it seems that I have to roa with you is not that bad for a starter, isn't it?” Jon laughed it off
”H further
The talk about Martial Arts kept going on and on As far as Jon is concerned, he knows a fairly good amount of sword techniques and the basics were ha then he knows Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling and so his knowledge about Martial Arts this beca indeed but he has to participate in every conversation with these three Martial Arts fanatics froht noas his book that got finished but kept hi a bit with soether at the end of the day
By the second e Robe that had his badge as a teacher in Winterhold and took a few of his book's copies with him
”I hope you are ready” The Old Wohed and nodded
”I hoped my master could be here today but I hope you help me sent those copies back home to Winterhold”
”Without fail, my friend I must say I have quite the nuo, driver”
Shad Astula Acadee ride took only a couple of hours to get there Next thing Jon kneas being welcomed by the staff members of Shad Astula
The Old Woman was a s for Jon to have ain the e Sadly, because of hi a Nord, soe would come up with in a book so they just were here for the sake of formalities
Prior to this day, Jon had to deliver a copy of his book to the Academy to at least have his examiners ready to roast him a little but somehow his exa his expectations, there was a nuh member of the Acadee behind a lectern and three old es showed up and stood in front of him
”Examinee Jon Dare, Expert Mystic froe of Winterhold That was quite a book you wrote” One of the examiners said
”Thanks, sir”
”Don't thank ed to examine you about what you wrote and ask so the title You called your book [The Timely Lie]”
”Indeed”
”Explain the title”
”The book contains sos of the Prophet Veloth which caused the Chimer people to follow the Daedric Princes Mephala and Boethiah and denounce the faith of the Alds and the God of Tihts on the God of Tis of Prophet Veloth which are known as [The Psijic Endeavor]” Jon explained briefly
The whole hall tensed in one go This subject is 100 Dark Elf related The Chioes around their very origin For an outsider to come with such a book and demand it to be published in Morrowind he is either a fool ants to show off and e theory inmany ideas and researches
”Truth be told, the book is quite a dangerous subject Jon Dare, as a researcher you should know that, right?”
”Absolutely”
”Then let's start”
And the debate began Three Master's fro every little detail in his book, that includes the writing style and the language mistakes too
”First off, I wrote an introduction about the Psijic Endeavor as one of the known six Walk Ways and aa Royalty (CHIM) and what to do after It is known as a process of glorious apotheosis, where Time itself is bent inward and outward into 'a Shape that is always New' The Shape that is always New is a rowth in my personal opinion
The term 'Psijic' itself comes froil froe of the Fallen Spirits) and it describes the Chaotic Motions of Sithis, the very Spirit of Padomay, the one Primal Chaos
My research relies on the Mono how by the Presence of the God of Time could the Chaos be resolved into Order and the Spirits came to be The Psijic Endeavor, in my opinion, is the process where time is seen as a hindrance and the very reason behind Mortality, unlike the common belief for it as the fault of Lorkhan
What I a to say is Why did the Elven Ancestor Trinis aration to Morrowind only to get himself devoured by Boethiah and later exerted as the Daedric Prince Malacath? Boethiah claimed that many lies and rumors about Lorkhan were the fabrications of Trinimac as she spoke in his voice to reveal them
This accident happened in the Merethic Era when creations were still struggling with Mortality Due to the creation of the Mortal World, many Spirits lost their Io back to Aetherius again and attain Immortality especially the Aldmer, ancestors of all Elves, but when Prophet Veloth caaining i deal at that ti his unending Animosity to Lorkhan and the Huhts back then but I assu aid from the forces of Oblivion to be heresy I took a few notes in that subject but that is not what the research is about
The i comes when I mention the effects of the Mind on Reality What we believe in becoorath for exaentlejuice out of babies and creating musical instruments out of old ladies In Elsweyr however, he is the Skooma Cat who appears as an Alfiq with the tendency to lick people into s At the end of the day, it is the saorath either way but what is different is the way people perceive in him He won't appear to Dunmer as a cat only to a Khajiit and in Elsweyr
As Ipart of the answer and that is not just lioes for Aedra We have Lorkhan who is Shezarr who is Sheor who is Shor who is Sep who is the Toteramor as a fox back in the days of the Ancient Nordic Pantheon on Atmora but his avatars came afterwards as Men like Ys exae is with the God of Time himself as his aspects vary froether and that's due to Belief It changed a whole lot about the God of Time
At first, he was Auri-El, the Patron of Aldmer, Altmer and Falmer as far as we know Then Saint Alessia came and established a covenant with a foron Akatosh
How did this Akatosh come to be?
In the early days of the First Empire, the Alessian Sect watered all the Gods of Elves and Men into new versions that suit its purposes and the most important mix was between Shezarr, a version of Lorkhan symbolized by the Snake, and Auriel of the Elves, syave us Akatosh, the Dragon
Now I know there are other researches to read about that point but what I want to highlight is the ability to change in the nature of the Original Spirits Sheogorath hies even Daedric Princes especially Daedric Princes”
This change is s as the Aedra and the Daedra be so easy to change?
The answer is always Beliefs and Thoughts but is that it?
No one is interested in changing the Daedra or the Aedra The Orcs and the Duns turn into disasters in the end
But what else is there that can change by belief or rather ”Mass Belief”?
There is a ter ive you a medicine which is not actually a medicine then you somehow becoive you a drug and say this will make you vomit while it actually doesn't but you vomit anyway
Now keep that in mind
The World works the sae so about them or even create an entirely new aspect Our Minds create Reality
We keep that in s about the Psijic Endeavor In the Duns, there is no existence for the God of Ti the Ti Time itself
