Beforehand heading to the desert, Jon had to see Isha one irl who suffered the s Things that ht help them
Jon knew that Isha wreaked havoc in a Daedric cult that belonged to Boethiah which angered the Prince That's why she became a Labourer
Jon's first lead is Boethiah it or rather her prophet, Hafiz An elderly Redguard that pointed Isha's Labours to her The thing is… Boethiah gave Isha a blessing and a powerful one at that He was hesitant to blaht
More to that, Hircine was the one who cursed Zain with Lycanthropy but that didn't make sense in a way Hircine rarely punished with Lycanthropy as he considers it his Gift
But the fact that Zain became a Werewolf can only point to that Curses and Rituals varied and gave mortals a lot of control over powers unknown It is coic and law
Sadly, Isha didn't speak a word
Still, what links the curse put by Hircine to Boethiah? Why would Isha go after such a cult and cause herself to be a Laborer? What is the exact ritual that was cast on Zain? What happened on his last journey for a cure? Where is Hafiz? And thequestion, what makes Hircine allow his favorite weapon, the [Spear of Bitter Mercy], to be in the hands of the one with someone who searched for a cure to Lycanthropy let alone a Labourer?

And the two racist le living being on Tamriel
Two days passed in the endless desert of the Alik'r The destination of the tas obvious, where it all started
Isha's brother was powerful, he made a lot of enemies who later used Isha to lure him out of the Citadel far where they can perform a dark ritual Here where the ritual was held
A stone formation in the middle of buttfuck nowhere
The stones looked natural yet pointy and by the doing of age, whatever trace left can be meters under the sand Deserts like this are known to move by the effect of wind like the waves of see, except extremely slow
Now to the Dare part Usually, no one can investigate such a place but not everyone has the extraordinary tools in Jon's arsenal
Jon took out [Pride] and the contain that there is no one beside Illindar is watching, held his staff and the Elder Scroll He held the head of the staff to the scroll and channeled a powerful gust of Magicka
”What are you doing?” Illindar senses the unnaturaltherit his teeth as he put his all into his work
As he was done channeling energy through the Elder Scroll, he out the scroll back right away What he created, however, was soe
In front of hie ht distortion
”What is that?” Illindar approached after feeling the situation beco safer
”Tees call it?” Illindar questioned
”Ti the Elder Scroll, an Artifact that exists outside time, Jon could wound the ti a Temporal Flux?
”What is it for?”
”Watch this”
Jon took out a random machine from the Cube and threw it in the flux The small icka Reactor as the core
Once the est of scenes happened Those coether thedevice Jon aiicka Reactor with Telekinesis through the Teh the Teicka Reactor which was in Jon's hand
”Understand now?”
”So you use this to diss without actually take them apart” Illindar said
”Correct but that's just the tip of the Iceberg Temporal Fluxes are safe places to read the Elder Scrolls without catching side effects and there is another use that I aht now” Jon said
The Temporal Flux he created was similar to this one on the Throat of the World only much smaller and weaker A few hours and this wound will fix itself
Jon needed this dangerous Temporal Flux to cast a spell that needs recent records fro it on the time wound, it would bypass the rule of recency This spell is Jon's [Ghosts of Time], the Master-level Mysticism spell he used in the Arena to suht for him
This time, he wanted to suht on the night when Isha's brother, Zain, was cursed
Pulling these records was a tedious job but thankfully, Illindar knew the exact date of the event and Jon didn't have to search around soon the stone forolden specters
It was obvious what it was Isha, or rather a younger version of her, was there A tall olden specters lying around hi theolden specters on the stone for a ritual
”Pause! Rewind froave co the spell by itself while floating on its own
Now for the not so fun part
Jon stepped near one of the curse casters whose face was exposed and focused on hiood visualization but no vocalization so Jon couldn't hear the spell nor notes of theso he had to rewind ot the words of the curse confirmed, after that, he let the record play to the situation's unfolding
It was as the people of the Citadel said, Zain turned into a olf and a large one at that, in a fit of his rage, he took down all the opponents in the scariest of scenes
Sadly, the Temporal Flux was already out of power as it seems that Jon's spell has consumed it
”Is it over?” Illindar asked
”It is”
”There are really no secrets with such a spell around Did you find out what kind of curse that is?”
”No… but I have its chant” Jon said looking at the note he just took
'In the nain to fulfill our wish and create an object of the seal Zain, become what you hate most, curses upon you, become what you despise most, curses upon you, become what you can't bear to be'
(Part 2)
”And what is all that supposed to mean?” Illindar asked
