”Well, I don't re you money”
”You don't”
”Good, because in a matter of fact, I don't owe anyone any money However, if you want money, that's a different story”
”Ohohoho! What is your best offer?”
”Clingy High Elves discount, a wee lesser than Family and Friends discount”
”Nord, huh? You can't fake an accent in front of me”
”Come on! I just shouted that Green Lady twice, of course I'm a Nord”
”Been a while”
”Since?”
”Meeting a Voice Master One must admit that unlike Common Nords, Voice Masters are more… wise and pick what they say carefully”
”I was told I have a big mouth, and I ain't wise, Lady”
”Heh heh! Will see about that”
”What's so funny?”
”Hmmm… unlike my kin, I don't hate Nords Your race is the purest Hu… descendants of the Old Atoes for you Altmer, descendants of the Old Aldmer You know… I hate to admit it but Altree We are the complete opposites”
”Really? How about this… a Nord and an Alt they are looking for a wantedabout their ancestry and had a stick up his arse Who do you think the people will suspect?”
”This is oddly convincing”
”Actually, if you pay attention, the stick up the arse thing is totally Alt”
” Altmer are the most mannered race in Tamriel by far”
”No, you folk are just too hard on yourselves Who lives in a Goddao out to conquer the world We Nords have o out or they will cooodness there is no oil around”
”Hmph! You are indeed a Nord with a month”
”Told you Nohat?”
”Let me ask you a few questions”
”Interview? I'ht but I ain't for hire”
”Not hiring”
”Inspecting?”
”You can say so”
”Do I have to record any birthmarks or tattoos?”
”No?”
”Do I have to record how many Daedra I can summon or how cute my cat is?”
”No Just show me your Aura?”
”My Aura?”
”Yes, that art that you huood in It reflects what kind of man you are?”
”Well, in that case…”
Jon didn't hide his hostility anymore and let loose of his Tyrant Aura The moment he met that woman, he just wanted to turn and leave but that wasn't much of an option as soon as she showed up after hiinning was if a fire spreading on a surface of gasoline, fast and violent then steady and still
The High Elven Ancestor felt the Aura that is ever so do and sadistic, it's rhyme wasn't unsteady but perfectly controlled Moreover, it has this Chaotic Good feeling to it
”Alas, It is what I feared” The Altmer wo for her to go on
”Another Monster” She said and reached out to the Great Sword resting on her back
Jon said nothing, he just s, he spoke
”Oh! I see… I see” Jon nodded understanding the wo
He looked carefully at that Altht in his full Ebony, she was akin to a Paladin in light white armor
Her ars well-covered then she had a white robe over that with a sed face Despite the wrinkles, she see abnor and powerful A High Elf is rarely seen fighting with such a big sword let alone a Female Altmer This should be one hell of an experience
But just like High Elves, she cast [Eht
Jon focused his Aura to battleit while taking out the [Ebony Blade] and co it
He held it with two hands and faced the woman The tere silent for alht started In their heads, hundreds of simulations happened
Defend, Counter, Lose
Attack, Attack, Lose
Evade, Attack, Evade, Counter, Win
But it wasn't that siht started The two bounced on each other with one kill move at the same time
It is all for who is faster now
CLINK SCREECH Swoosh
The tordsplaces
The result was…
Jon's sas sent flying
The woman's sas cut in half
The two turned back to one another with disbelief shown in their eyes
His sas better
Her skill was better
”My sword is Mithril” She said
”My skill is seven paces of ten near perfection” He said
Her Mithril sas no match for the indestructible Ebony Blade The [Fortify Swordsmanshi+p] enchantment had a 7/10 effect of its top potential due to the enchant], once it passed 5/10, the sas already incredible in all aspects and enhanced Jon's skill by a great deal
Still, that woman took his sword down and he cut hers
”How did this even happen?” He asked
”Ha! Haha! I have no idea” She said but her laugh turned to a decisive one a second later
She stood between Jon and his sword, held her hand out and cast [Bound Greatsword]
”What about you?” She asked
Jon checked his options He can call [Pride] or [Greed] but as weapons, they won't add ht about it and ca
First, he cast [Empower] and [Accelerate] like her This alone added 10 to his power and speed which were already buffed by his Aura Second…
”QAH ULD HAAS!” (Arht Health)
A very pure and mystic power exploded around Jon and returned around his body creating a knight ary on top of his ar but to the eyes of the Altmer woman, he was still unarmed
”Are you done?” She asked
He extended his arm to the side and all of a sudden, the Ebony Blade stuck far away in the ground started twitching and jumped out of its place back to Jon's hands
”Now I'm ready” He said
The wo back to the hands of its owner but that can be expected fro
Then tent at it again
TINK
And again
TINK
Two exchanges in one seven, the three in one and the speed kept rising
How those tung their swords was aon the thrill, the h she was using a Bound Sword, her skill in Magic was as a as her skill in swords the battle against a terrifying sword suck as the Ebony Blade
Between the two, a blade storicka laid waste to the terrain They were fighting in a clear area not far from the travelers' road but the effect of the battle could be heard from the nearby city of Silvenar
A few seconds after that last exchange, the Green Lady arrived near the taiting for a chance to support the Altmer woman
”Great Ancestor! I cae between the two Jon retreated away leaving two straight trails in the ground after hins of breathing hard as they seemed to have put some stamina in the last few moves
”Ancestor? Who?” Jon looked at the Green Lady and then to the woman in front of him, ”You?”
”Stay out of this, Norril” The Altmer woman spoke to the Green Lady
Jon was at a loss for words An Altmer Ancestor, a Green Lady… who else left? The Khajiiti Mane?
But what is terrifying right now is how he round in front of an Ancestor
Putting her in the saards as Divayth Fyr is kinda blasphemous but at least an Ancestor is someone he needs to be very careful with
On the other hand, the Altmer Ancestor woman was in a state of wonder There are what is known as Monsters in this world These are sirow further Those people are either saviors or conquerors
But Jon had a different view of the ters but it is mostly used by those people who reached their s
Soes Even though with the probability of the existence of supernatural powers on Earth, ed in public and burned on the stick
It is just the sa, they will use and abuse their strengthcommon weak people see theical world, those ”Monster” people are a different case than froic has tre talent with such a force gives birth to those ”Monsters” People who perceive theet affected by their oer that pushes thes
For exa and it happens to be Necroraves or the honored deaduse of every corpse they come across while in fact, they may have shunned that practice if they were not yet to becoot a taste of that power, they won't sioes for Pyromancers who burn people alive despite who cruel it is and how horrible it is to smell a burnt corpse
In the end, the people referred to as ”Monsters” are not ive up their talents and drown in their powers more and more Jon can't deny this is the case with hi a
”Do you knohat is the only thing that can break a monster?” She asked
Jon shook his head
”It is another Monster” She said
(Part 2)
”Do you knohat is the only thing that can break a monster?” She asked
Jon shook his head
”It is another Monster” She said
A Monster… of all the things Jon come to face is another Monster with the title of an Ancestor
The irony! He couldn't help himself but smile wryly
Yes, she was also a Monster She was once called that by no one other than her own blood, her brother She was rebelled against, fought by force and received a lot of hatred and contempt because of her power and talent Despite the odds, she swept through all who opposed her unforeseen and achieved the one of the greatest legacies in the reith time and even with the demise of the Altmer at the end of the Second Era, she remained and became a hermit Ancestor by the years that followed
”So you're saying that as a Monster, you are to take me down?” Jon asked
”Yes, just like hoas broken before” She said
”Oh!” Jon heard so but the Alto all out on his this time
She held the Bound Sword fire at hi hiickathe [Ebony Blade] with two hands, Jon called for [Pride] that came out from the Cube and floated like a drone over Jon's head
He may have used this move before but this is the first ti spells by itself… now that's so to keep the term ”Monster” fresh in mind
”Die!”
She waved her sith an unstoppable force at Jon but the [Ebony Blade] was there to take the i nu attack
”Women at these parts are so crazy!” He shouted
”Stop talking and fight!” She said while attacking another tied i break”
”No! I'll kill you here and now!”
”You can't kill me let alone defeat me!” Jon stopped her sword and pushed back
”Even breaking me won't stop me I was defeated more than I ever won, I was broken before and here I stand once again stronger than before I lost a foot, I lost ers of utter of a prison and here I recovered once again I returned! What more can you do?”
More than his power, his words pushed the woativity on her face but she was still co so me… and many others in the fall of Summerset to that foul Numidiuing our castles, killing our arht, he put us all down, ht an inch beside my heart
