Despite being the largest city in the world, the Iate froe that extends across the lake Rumare's western side to the western district of the Ie, the eye-catching luxurious carriage crossed the village of Weye, a place where travelers rest before entering the city
As the carriage got on the stone bridge, Jon canceled the Illusion on the Atronach Horses right away reveling the but rather wearing High-Class clothing that showed his status as a very wealthy uard outfit with eye-catching appearance; Miranda, ore a slender Altmeri dress; and even Mirren, who dressed as a man for the first tiood” Jon spoke to Mirren
The latter looked at hi how Jon will co on the road
Mirren somehow felt that Jon ay scene” But Jon opened up a subject
””SHUT UP!”” Mirren and Isha lashed at hi”
As the three were having it noisy as usual, Miranda decides to speak
”You are not planning to hide?” She asked
”This is the I is really a bad idea” Jon said
The three looked at him and couldn't comprehend what he has in mind
”Just think of all the fun we can have out in the open rather than just hiding” He said
”What are you really after?” Isha asked
”When was the last time Jon Dare was seen?” He asked
”Mournhold”
”And which person did he coet it now” Isha understood what Jon was after
”You are est city in the world, to divert attention from the Old Woman?” Mirren asked
”Yes And it would be fun for my enemies to try and search every nook and cranny in the Imperial City to findare we going to stay?” Isha asked
”A couple of days, screw around, have fun and then disappear”
The plan was simple The Old Woman, Barenziah was the last person who came into personal contact with Jon Dare She usually treats people with coldness and is known for her high andthe last 200 years Jon kno capable that woman is but his respect for her wouldn't make him want to cause her annoyance
As soon as the fancy carriage crossed the bridge and its e was on the City Island taking up the road to the large city gate
The queue of people and carriages trying to enter the city got disturbed by the sight of a carriage with a strange appearance being pulled by six Atronach horses and had no driver Unlike Nords who frown on Magic, Ies with uncommon abilities are mostly idolized
For that, coe lords and in Jon's case, they cleared the road for his carriage
Jon's arrival at the large city gate, however, drew an equal auards An Imperial Officer blocked Jon's way and demanded
”Halt Do you have a permit?” The Officer asked
Jon walked out of the carriage and silently passed his Pass with Telekinesis to the officer without speaking
”Please refrain fro as you are inside the Imperial City” The Officer said
Jon nodded
The Officer was irritated by Jon's silent attitude but all he could do was to check the permit only to find it a Pass with the seal of House Vici
”You are granted passage May I inquire your nae and the reason why you are visiting the Imperial City?”
”Jon Dare, for over two Badges with Telekinesis
The first was fro his name and rank as an Expert Mystic while the other was fro the rank of Honorary Mee institutes ofinvited by House Vici, the Imperial Officer realized he can't e's door was opened and the Officer looked inside They introduced themselves with false names and prepared identities
”Sir Jon Dare, it would be ed his attitude
”Please”
And Jon was finally let in
Seeing the Imperial City like this was surely different froer fro with life
The first district anyone would go in is the noble Plaza District forh-end residential area and also was the first one to access Jon always thought it was a mistake to position the nobles in such a place, especially since it is a busy area but according to the documents from the Great War, the nobles showed one hell of a resistance during the sacking of the I their lives for the sake of h the main street and arrived at the central plaza The sah ames
”This way” The I one his horse He guided Jon to parts in the city that Jon didn't even know it existed
The area he was in was filled with large villas built on the style of the Imperial City and seemed to be the houses of the rich and powerful The Iainst a certain villa and talked to a guard Right away, the gate was opened and the Imperial Officer took his leave
”Jon, you really caate, a certain young lady came out
”Vittoria You look lovely” Jon jue and walked to Vittoria
The two got closer and kissed like lovers who haven't seen one another in a long while Isha, Mirren and Miranda were at a loss for words how things developed that fast as they got down if the carriage after him
Jon introduced them to Vittoria and the opposite then looked at the I a red summer dress hite dots which seemed a bit sassy for this tiht away
”Co a party” Vittoria led the way in the villa and the rest followed
”I never expected to run into you” Jon said
”I never expected to hear from you You've been out just for two months and everyone est I've been absent” He said
”But it will be, right?”
”True How is Winterhold?”
”Standing strong, Alina is really doing a good job and thanks to your divine protection sort of thing, no one even has the audacity to run wild in your turf” She said
”What happened?” Jon frowned
”Not o, I heard a report that some idiot caood then tried to have his ith Alina Just before Alina could rip him to shreds or Wulfur tored sword came out of nowhere and made a mess out of the man”
”Oh! Bloodskal I left it there”
Jon had a reason to leave Bloodskal behind and that was for this kind of situation When he attained temporary immortality at the end of the Battle of Winterhold, he iained fro it its own consciousness and power The sould defend his family in situations like that especially if one showed anysword protectingas I am here, you should try 'that sword'” Jon said
Vittoria acted dissatisfied and spoke
”Hu special for ht as fast as he could
”Oh Well of course A gift is on its way”
Meanwhile, 50 of his focus was inside the Cube looking for soift
” Really? I don'tby how you were on the road but did you really remember my birthday?” Vittoria said
”Of course”
Jon avoided a crisis of his carelessness and followed Vittoria in
As they bypassed the entrance, the villa seeuests spending their ti is barely a few of the
”As you know, I am a member of the cult of Dibella the ones around here are my friends from the cult and from other noble houses but mostly there are artists, dancers, entertainers and bards” She said
It was indeed that way, there were entertainicians who floated on the pool and , philanderers roamen and comedians
”Well this party is lit” Jon couldn't help but praise Even Jon Dare can't do such a large scale debauchery in public
He looked at Isha and the rest
”You guys can socialize but let's stay in each other's sight Don't cause trouble without o” Isha took Mirren from his arm and disappeared in an instant
”Wow!” Even Vittoria had to praise
”You can join us then” Jon took pity in Miranda and invited her
Blending in the party was easy, activities such as throwing paintballs, interacting with ave the death glares to some Skooma dealers
What worried hi between the public but knowing that Cyrodiil's vampires don't eat where they shi+t made Jon just keep an eye on whatwhat the place has to offer, he went to a private room accompanied by Miranda and Vittoria
(Part 2)
The private room had a tub, a bed, some liquor and some entertainment tools for various tastes Jon sat on the bed while the two girls chose to sit on chairs
”So, what brings you to the Imperial City?” Vittoria asked
”I was around”
”Being around doesn't mean you can just use your identity in public A Million Gold Septims are on your head, Jon”
”Well You know the drill One can't haveto hide” Jon said
”Fun are you trying to cause a scene? Here? In the Imperial City? You know your enemies are simply everywhere and you have a few to no friends, especially after the way you rejected the Synod and dodged the Empire's suerous and all but it is the only place where the Thal?”
”When they here I am in here, they will spend every resource they have to act inside the city Of course, they will pull every string and favor they have but they will be sure that I a here” He said
” While you actually will be long gone?”
”Depends” Jon didn't deny or confiraes without the fear of falling and you know I can't assist you if it is too risky”
”Sure Still, part of our relationshi+p is based on benefits” Jon said as he passed a flask of blue glowing potion to Vittoria
She narrowed her eyes as she held the flask and opened it The smell of the mixture inside made her freeze in place
”This is”
”As business partners, I aents inpeace I a close attention to the new unrecognizable products in anization, especially the ones that are not for sale” Jon said
”Oh You have to understand that” Vittoria tried to explain
”I do understand, I don't mind it for business sake”
” Good So, this is that product you are keeping behind tight doors” She said recognizing the existence of the Potion
”I call it the 'Anuic Spirit', Magicka and Vitality Nourishment Potion for female use only” Jon said
”Nourish?” Vittoria could hardly buy it
”Of course not The potion is just an ordinary Regeneration Potion on its own but with another thing, it will become a Nourishment Potion”
The term Nourishment Potion is as fictional as the Philosopher's Stone in this world Siicka and Vitality by a Potion is the dream of every Alcheeneration Potion if not used with a Meditation Way and only by a Fey that can be transfory Men can benefit froy with Vital Anuic Energy through certain techniques during sexual intercourse
[A/n: I y is what exists in nature and can be absorbed by a certain gender Vital Energy is what exists in the body and can be absorbed by the opposite gender Blame me if it is too complicated!]
Jon explained that much to Vittoria whose expressions were baffled
”What about the Male version?” She asked
