Excerpt #3

 Excerpt #3      Alessia is looking at a special virtual vid screen, set up in her palatial home in Aetherius by Shai-Hulu'ud to allow her to see what is happening to Iriisii after she left Mundus. She has followed Iriisii's path fervently. She feels she is not alone and turns to see Talos.      Talos: "She is doing far greater than any of us could have expected. In a lot of ways she is just like you."      Alessia: "You have a problem with that?"      Talos: "We are not mortal now. I understand far more of what drives you now. Besides you always come home to me and as long as that is true I have no problems with you."      Alessia smiles, "Keep that up and you will never get rid of me."      Talos: "Consider it done then, I will hold you to that. But you really need to do something with the little one. He cannot survive here on his own, and it is not fair to him to have to depend on us to kee...

 The Story of Iriisii Dovahkiin - Book One Chapter 8/9 Addendum      Iriisii and Rigmor are finally on the path to take Rigmor home to Bruma. Although this is not a joyful moment for Iriisii, considering as she recounts her conversation with Sethri at his farmhouse before leaving with Rigmor for the border crossing.      Sethri: "Dragonborn, you cannot cross the border with Rigmor. If you do, you will place both of you into mortal danger."      Iriisii: "But she can cross alone safely? Where is the sense in that?"      Sethri: "My Mistress tells me that it must be so, you heard the Greybeards reminding you of what you have yet to do? I do not know all that is going on, or what it is leading up to. But there is a plan to it all, and it must be followed or everything falls apart.

Excerpt #2

     Later that night, Iriisii is on the top of the 'Circus of the Damned' having completed another sold out show. She just stands looking out over the city, listening to the bustle of the people walking the streets, those things they call cars running back and forth everywhere, and above in the skies, she finally hears the silence she was seeking. Only this silence is too shallow, for out there in the deep spaces she knows the Angelics, wait and watch her. She does not know why they are not down here doing something about the threat she feels looming over everything.      Closer at hand, she feels others here all around watching as well. But they gather and pass information along, so someone is receiving it.

The Dragonborn is sleeping, recovering from the ordeal she and her companions had to endure, whether they truly went to the Realm of Quagmire is up for debate. Since Vaermina is Daedric Lord of Dreams and Nightmares, who can really say where they went. The Dragonborn has been asleep for nearly two days with Rigmor a constant presence at their bedside.      Everyone who had business either in the bedroom or anywhere near soon learned to walk on eggshells, even Lord Blackwell walked carefully when he needed to talk to Rigmor, making no noise when approaching. Even the falcon perched on the open window sill, calmly watching the activities going on, no one taking notice of her being there and certainly not about to try and get her to leave. At least ...
