Chapter 438: Her Brother (1/2)
The Citadel of Ebonarm, a sect of warriors hidden within the Alik'r Desert Many coers of the Alik'r
The Dome in the e of a ss around The funny thing about it is that one has to cross all the desert to get to it, e of the desert From there, the Capital of Hammerfell, Sentinel, is not that far
[A/n: There is no mention to the location of the Citadel of Ebonarhters Guild Halls in the Alik'r Desert are sacred lands to the Citadel of Ebonarhters Guild Halls close to Sentinel is only my assumption]
On the span of the plateau, the scene of ether the Citadel of Ebonarm, under each dome was a school of martial arts led by a certain Battlelord different than the other schools The largest four doious four schools, the School of the Sword, the School of the Saber, the School of the Spear and the School of the Staff
Despite the different schools and factions, the Citadel was one single order si off the land from all manners of threats such as Vahters Guild also operates on their ground as Allies while the relationshi+p between the Citadel of Ebonarm and the Teh the eyes ofparty followed Isha who in turn followed her sister-in-law, Zahra
Isha didn't talk s would be aard Still, Isha is a Comrade in Arms and there is a lot of honor to this bond Whatever Isha needed or faced then the team that followed her here will always be there for her
Still, things weren't as aard as Jon expected later on Once they came across more warriors fro idol and whispered words about her So an apprentice to the Head Spear Battlelord
”Zahra, I want to seelast, Isha spoke to Zahra after she noticed that her sister-in-law is leading her to the innerest mosque
Zahra only stopped and looked back at Isha with an expressionless face
”Zain can wait The Masters put an order for you to report to them once you arrive” Zahra said in a stern voice
”What? I came all this way for Zain… the Masters can…” Isha co a brat, will you?” Zahra scolded
Isha halted her steps and looked at Zahra with a frown It looked like a sister-in-laws drama at first but the tomen seemed pretty nervous around each other
Mirren walked behind Isha
”Isha, let's just play by the rules”
It was obvious that tension between the two ladies had a source but keeping Isha away froht now The Masters wanted to see her, the Masters get what they want
Isha was reluctant to act but soon she followed Zahra silently
In the streets of the citadel, Jon found ot about Maybe he can compensate himself for the tour of the Imperial City he couldn't have in this wonderful town
Soon after, they were at the entrance of the innermost central dome Zahra stopped and turned to Isha's companions rather than Isha
”Only those who are worthy ood” She said
Jon tilted his head but it seemed that Mirren and Miranda were familiar with the situation
”Apprentice Mirren, a Journeye by the order of my masters”
”Apprentice Miranda, the same”
The two professionally identified themselves
Jon didn't knohat kind of a situation is this or what title to use
”I vouch for Krilon as a powerful Sorcerer and a Comrade” Isha said
”Very well”
They were all allowed in Beyond the door, steps was a powerful pressure of energy that was probably the reason why Zahra stopped them at the door Everyone felt hard to master up power under the pressure but Jon brushed it off easily
They entered a large courtyard under the dome, those who carried a left it at the doorway as the custoround and proceeded in
Under a cloth shed sat a nu in both body and spirit A gathering of Redguardof dervishes andthe Masters, they saw her and some carried hints of surprise while others looked indifferent
Zahra pointed for Jon and the rest to sit on the edge of the shed and a servant presented Redguard coffee and date fruits
”So,the gathering spoke
”Teacher” Isha replied
”Two years of drifting have led you back here… to whom do e the pleasure?” Isha's teacher asked
” I have returned after fulfilling what I left for”
”And… you fulfilled it?”
”Yes, I am free from the Daedra”
”And?”
”The curse on my Brother is no
The Masters and Apprentices around the courtyard frowned
”The curse is no more and you came home? Of what use can that be?” Isha's teacher spoke out loud
”What are you talking about, my brother…”
”You disappeared for two years with nothing but a note You said you are leaving to look for a way to dispel the curse cast by the Daedra We know nothing about you forDaedric Cultists and doing errands for thee the Daedra have My brother should be free from his torture by now” Isha explained
”So you're saying you left the order to seek salvation for your brother? What use can salvation do hier
”What are you talking about? He is h!” Zahra shouted from the side
Rude as it was, she was the wife of Isha's brother which meant the matter is related to her
