Chapter 457: Be Careful What You Wish For (2/2)
Isha kept laughing until she calmed down It was then when her face returned serious
”Jon” She called
”Yes”
”You are a bastard for not telling me” She said and continued before he could reply, ”Without explaining yourself, I understand your reasons To tell the truth, I would have hated you if you told me back then I just finished my Seven Labours in two years only to discover there is one more This shi+t is unacceptable”
”Okay”
”I will not hold a grudge against you if you proo and look for the truth, I want you to have my back and help me until I find the bastard who did it and understand what happened to reed right away
”Even if I died” She added
”Excuse me?”
”Even if I died, I know you are a bastard who can do anything and divines knohat are you fully capable of If I died, bring me back even if you used your dah in this no matter what” She said with a deter undead, I a any” Jon tried to pull back
”This is ood way, Isha Please think it over” Zara said
”True, don't waste your soul” Mirren said holding her
”You won't make it to Far Shores this way, Isha” Jon added
”My brother is not in Far Shores Who am I supposed to join in the afterlife if nother deterh and nod
”I'll then et harmed”
”Good” Isha nodded, ”Nohat should we do?”
”First, take this back” Jon took out the [Spear of Bitter Mercy] and handed it to her
” Why?”
”The Daedra referred to you as the Maid of Bitter Mercy This means the spear still has a role to play”
Jon tossed it to her
She held it with a dejected face Even if it was the best Spear in the World, it wasn't a thing she wanted to hold anymore
”You never told us how you acquired this spear” Jon said
” Not so I want to remember” Isha put the spear aside and refused to answer
”Well, you knohat they say… 'the devil is in the details' In your case, this is quite literal” Jon said and looked closer to her
Isha looked away avoiding to answer
”I suggest you tell us what happened Isha We know that you killed some important Cultists of Boethiah and so you were forced to Labour but you never told the full story” Jon said
”Hey! She doesn't want to talk” Mirren said
”Jon is right” Miranda spoke to her brother, ”Hebut we understand that he didn't mean harm, rather, he orried about Isha”
”Zara s became a mess, one must follow the parts he didn't check” Zara said
Despite all as said, Isha remained silent Jon and the others realized that there is no point in asking her things she doesn't want to answer
”If you ever want to speak about it…” Jon was about to say so but she spoke
”I killed a child” She said
””””””
Her expression darkened after she said so She looked down broken and weakened For a warrior, killing the elderly, the woreatest of all sha deal to warriors, Jon may say that he understands but he ca so he could only nod
He signaled for the other not to speak or react while keeping an eye on Isha Mirren dejectedly remained silent as well
”Every full moon, Zain wouldn't be able to resist the call of the beast He would transform in the middle of the desert and ould keep an eye on him…” Isha started to tell her story
Zain was cursed with Lycanthropy, those who bear the power of the beast never know rest and are always foul and angry Zain was desperate for a cure as he became what he hated most and his desperation was transferred to his Wife and Sister
The three looked everywhere for a cure but after one last trip to Hegathe, Zain was seriously tired and got bedridden It was strange since Werewolves had a natural resistance to disease Those who checked on hi his physical state and his body was failing hie state of peace as he proht
Isha wasn't aware of how Zain died as she seeotten about the event but what she re across the Alik'r willing to make a pact with any Daedric Lord there is to save her brother
She single-handedly raided and interrogatedall hope, a 'Being' caranted for a price
This 'Being' told her to go to a certain place and recover a spear then go to another place and kill every living thing in it by that spear
Driven by the hope she found, Isha rushed to wherever she was pointed at, killed everything that stood in her place and recovered a spear It was then when she killed a child in the process
But that never came true, she couldn't find her brother no matter where she looked
The story didn't add up to what the others know but it was then when Isha was confronted by Boethiah and her Prophet, Hafiz
If she wants to ain, she was to Labour for the sin of killing the child that was being nurtured by Boethiah to create an un that her brother was in the hands of Boethiah and agreed to Labour
And that's how things started
The storybut such as reality Still, everyone could figure out the culprit that got Isha into the Labour… this thing she called 'Being'
”What kind of being is it, Isha?” Jon asked
”A being… I am not sure” She replied
”Not sure?” Jon and the other exchanged weird looks
”Why are you asking, it is not i out strange
”Not iure it out, Isha” Miranda was infuriated by Isha's dull behavior
”Not… it is… it is really not important” Isha said faintly
”Wait, sister” Mirren stopped Miranda and turned to Isha, ”Love, if you are not suspecting whoever that is… if he or she were so…”
”No… it is just… I don't know” She said
On the other hand, Jon and Zara were looking at Isha with narrowed eyes The two figured out so
”She is hypnotized” Jon said
”What? No!” Mirren denied it
”She is” Zara confir at Isha
Isha herself looked like a lost child between Mirren's ar told that what she knows is not true was harsh on her She is already lost and can't afford to be more lost
”What do you mean?” She asked faintly
”To be honest, I never wanted to say this but it was all in front of us Not re how he died and now not suspecting the being that i… it is all there” Jon said with pity
Isha's eyes started tearing She didn't cry but she was as pitiful as ever
”You're saying… the truth… the truth ismessed with my head?” She asked in a shaken tone
Jon nodded
She took aMirren and Miranda kept close to her trying to calm her down In the end, she looked at Jon with a broken spirit
”Please… helpher like that
He extended his hand for her and a Crystal appeared on his hand This was [lust]
”This thing has the power to induce the truth Take my hand” Jon said
She looked at his hand and slowly extended hers They firh
”Isha” Jon spoke heavily, ”What kind of a being was that thing that told you to recover the spear and kill the cultists?”
To the question, Isha's eyes stopped tearing and her face showed that she has arrived at so It came to me and offered me any wish I want… it called itself…”
”Barbas!” Jon continued
The others around Jon felt his shock and questioned what the named meant in their heads Isha, on the other hand, nodded sloide eyes
Jon's solid expressions meant a lot to those who know hi 'be careful what you wish for'?” Jon asked
The others listened to hi now The Daedric Prince of Wishes and Bargains, Clavicus Vile”
