Unlike most cities, Mournhold is a city that doesn't sleep Streets are active all day long except for the hour of dahere the thieves roam around
One of the busiest kinds of business is entertainment and stands on top of the industry the White Cat Casino which was one of the Bazaar's most notable establishment In truth, it was a s
In that night, the Tong was very active after recovering from the relentless attacks of the last ain the people's faith in the during the pastwoman, the Twin Altmer Beauties and the Masked Giants These were, of course, what the people called Isha, Mirren, Miranda and Krilon
None knew they were Labourers as the tere but they were seen as hired help Isha and Jon were popular a members for their approachable personalities while the two Altmer cold beauties always stuck with the Old Woht, however, the situation was caldrinks and stories In a certain corner, Jon ca one in front of Miranda and sipped on the other after he sat
”Drink, it will cheer you up” He said
So
”Are they out yet?” She asked
”Don't know but seeerously silent
”Come on Your brother can have a kink too, you know” Jon remarked
Miranda didn't react
”Look, it is okay to have such a habit It is not so nasty but maybe just maybe you tere so tensed and needed some way to lose control and tension That's why your tastes are siht about it
” For as early as I can re to rules I may have wanted to break them for a while but we can't afford to break theue
Jon scratched his head
”Rules like 'what to do and what not to do'? Of course, you will get bored in the end if they are too much” Jon said
”It is either the? Outcasts? Exiled? Wanted Dead or Alive?”
Miranda didn't reply until a minute later
”All of them”
”SHUT UP!” Jon didn't buy it
She wasn't bothered with the way Jon reacted but looking at the look on his face, she asked
”Aren't you the same as us?”
”No” Jon denied, ”I am outlawed by ree you know”
” I I have said too much” She looked away
It seeure it out Most people who have a tendency to be an M only do so to experience the feeling of losing control The reason can vary but in Miranda and Mirren's case, the two
Maybe in the past month, the Altmer tere in a position that they had to learn to rely on other partner and that's why a relationshi+p developed to the two of the aside Isha's pursuit after Mirren and Jon's constant teasing of Miranda
Still, Jon learned more about Miranda in this conversation It see for them to the point where Mirren had to pose and conduct as a feh Elven society because of the low birth rate, being known as a boy and a girl twins may attract their eneht suspect so, but the Mirren chose to pose as female which is very unusual for a irls are not what their enemy will seek at most
Jon decided to not into details about Miranda as she still has soo around some unimportant subjects with her to see if she opened up for him or not
”See that? I was surprised when I found that they serve some of Riften pickled fish here It seems that Old Cat has a taste for it, come and try, you will absolutely love it”
”This is called 'Anuic Spirit' You Altmer should love it because of the word Anu It is basically a Staeneration potion but made for only female use It is for you know after e just did”
”Ah! Here it comes I am completely responsible for the appearance of this dish in this world It is a cow liverotherworldly from my hometown”
”You're into that sense of fashi+on too? Oh, sister We are so getting along”
Jon's strategy was to go fast through sos she is interested in She liked rare food, Khajiiti clothing and Elven Alcohol Soure out
But what Jon didn't expect was the naughty girl under the coverage of a cold face One thing she mentioned was how she liked small pranks and to make people uncomfortable, it was kinda twisted but Jon felt that it was unusual and interesting Her conduct was also of soh she is a masochist
She was interested in Jon and also seee, especially after how they slept with each other earlier but this was their first tiot past some barriers earlier to date
All in all, Jon and Miranda found it easy to have ood mood was over when Isha and Mirren showed up
”What are you two doing together?” Mirren asked with narrowed eyes
Jon and Miranda have agreed earlier to keep their relationshi+p a bit of a thing between theet a bit more natural
”We're bored since you two disappeared so the reverse card on Mirren
”Wha I don't knohat you're talking about!” Mirren denied immediately
Jon looked at Isha and winked
”Good job, bro But you guys need to put some muffle runes on the walls next time” Jon said
”Oh, sure” Isha wasn't shy about it
”muffle runes?!” Mirren was in denial to realize what had happened but he soon understood and his reality collapsed
”Sis sister it is not what you think” He looked at Miranda and tried to co to hide his shame
”I don't knohat to think” Miranda indifferently replied while looking away
The two sees to talk about so Jon didn't stay and went to look for so to do It was then when Lanmas called for him
”She wants you up there” He said
”Old Cat? Fine”
Jon didn't dally and went to the second floor where the Old Woman's room was He knocked on the door and was allowed in
”You were calling for me?” He asked
”Here you are,a small party” She said
”Yes, thank you”
Jon looked around and saw a large ed on the hich was clearly unusual Mirrors are rare in the world
The Old Wo at her reflection and thinking
”I need so” Jon approached her
”Earlier at the debate You mentioned the relationshi+p between belief and reality and how the mind can affect the world but that was about a Mass Belief phenomenon”
”Indeed”
”It made me can't help but think about a state of Belief by only one person on a phenomenon that can be affected by only that person's belief You called the else”
”Yes, but that's unintentional”
” I see Then how aboutand ht on the ured out soside a Magicka Gathering method” He confirmed
”Is that what you do? Is it your secret?” She asked
”Not entirely a secret,is practiced by many people other than me” He said
”So it is like that You believe in so it Just like the Psijic Order?” She asked
”The Psijic Order's beliefs are in their Ancestors They believe in and meditate on the Old Ways which or rather, the [Ancient Ancestral way]
In Skyrim, the Greybeards are also meditator of the [Way of the Voice] They say 'Sky Above, Voice Within' revealing their faith in Kyne, thethat faith to meditate as the only purpose of the voice is to worshi+p
Then we have the old Sword Singers of Hammerfell, it may be a lost art but the only reason for that is because they lost their faith in the swords That was known as the [Way of the Sword]
There is also my oay I don't have an official naon Way] It has my own sets and beliefs about the world and how to understand it My girls train on that ith ured out a feays of their own depending on their aptitudes
Also, as far as I can guess, Arch Mage Shalidor, the founder of the College of Winterhold, has also found a way They said he was an Immortal because he stole the Seed of Life frouessed it
”True I am not sure about Lord Divayth Fyr but he should have his own ure out ht for a while then asked
”Can you help ure out the paths between Spirit and Flesh?”
”I will but there is some complication you need to be aware of Between the Spirit and Flesh there are an Energy Center, Eight Pri on the nature and the condition of they Points are open for training and soes to open naturally but ure out your own Way on this rate”
” This is a lot of infore”
”Fine, these are sohts Remember, never weaver on the faith you are on else you et yourself killed”
Jon then used Telepathy and transferred so to the Old Woman
She didn't waste any ti a seat
Jon too sat and kept observing her
Truth be told, he was curious how the Old Wo by her personality, he aiting for a good surprise
Jon thought of how far hefactor, some believed in a God like the Greybeards and some believed in their Ancestor Spirits like the Psijic Order but Jon's belief carried a deeperand less reliance than them He believed in the Physical, Spiritual and Astral sides of the World and the Forces of Tiative and the Positive, the Padomic and the Anuic Some ideas are revolutionary while some are hearsay to the people of this world but these were his teachings
His book [The Ti his revelations and assuring his beliefs The reason why he chose Morrowind to publish his book was because of how he praised the Psijic Endeavor and figured out than every faith in the world will stand against his ideas
Somehow, the Te it a deep insight into the Psijic Endeavor that would sos
As he was lost in thoughts, he heard a strange sound of glass breaking That sound came from the Old Woman
She opened her eyes and looked around
”What was that?” He asked
She narrowed her eyes and hu” She said so and returned to ain
Jon concentrated on the Old Woy Core This was the first step of
That sound of breaking glass was the Old Woy Center See out
The reason behind the breaking glass sound was the large e enchant to who look at it Jon saw his reflection without anything strange but no ure out the function without thoroughly investigating
Solass came a few more times and then the old woet it” Jon said
She s to have a use for that mirror, my friend” She said
”What does it show?” He asked
” What you dearly long for A false illusion, however Nothing it shows truly exist but I think I ed to make use of it”
” You used an illusion mirror to create your own Belief?” Jon asked
”I did”
”And that is?”
”I just wanted to believe that the old me is still redeemable” She said and walked away behind a curtain
Jon could hear her fetching out so of a very beautiful Dark Elf woman whose eyes were red and hair was black and curly
Jon sured that out so it up in front of the Old Woman
Her identity

She looked at hi to say,Live the Queen”
