Major Consequences
Ra'ksasha sat in her cell thinking. Every part of her body hurt. How long she was going to be imprisoned here was anybody's guess. Ra'kshsha was a Khajiit of 23 years old her normally dark luxurious fur was now dull. She knew her captors would come in and heal her to where she was as good as new and then repeat the process all over again. Discipline they called it. For being uncooperative. For willfully refusing to adhere to the laws of the land. But she wouldn't recant. She had her beliefs and they would not take them from her.
She heard the footsteps approaching. She knew who they were. A healer and Elenwyn. Leader of the Thalamor. They were going to try and "cure" her worship of Talos. If not they would beat her mercilessly. Still she would not recant. She had regrets of being caught. She should have never provoked the Thalamor and openly defied them by praising Talos to their faces. She should have listened to her friend and kept silent and worshipped in secret. But her big mouth had to open and voice her opinion. Heretic they called her. Trouble starter. She felt Elenwyn lean down to her and gently tilt the cat's head to the side to which she whispered in her ear.
"You still wish to worship Talos the False God? He isn't one of the 9 Divines. EVERY Nord and all other species knows this. Why can't you figure it out?" she whispered gently. Ra'kshasha snarled back. "This one worships who she pleases. Talos IS one of the Divines! The only reason why you say he is not is because you fear him. You cannot and will not take away this one's right to worship whom she pleases." The khajiit stated proudly.
Elenwyn scoffed. She signaled to one of the guards who came in with a club with spikes to beat her. After a few hits to her body she fell unconscious. The healer that was with Elenwyn was worried that maybe she would go too far and kill her. Even though he was an Altmer he truly didn't really wish to see the khajiit dead. By now there was a large amount of blood splashed upon the walls and a pool was quickly gathering under her body. Elenwyn ordered the guard to stop. "Heal her." she told the healer without any emotion. He started to heal the khajiit briefly wondering how much more she could take. The beatings were becoming more and more brutal.
The next week Ra'kshasha could barely stand. She found the stregnth somewhere though. Elenwyn came inside the cell and asked yet again. Again she was told the same answer. And the filthy cat had the gall to praise Talos to her face. Singing praises! Elenwyn flew into a rage and grabbed the guard's club beating the cat over and over. Then she grabbed her dagger and stabbed the poor khajiit multiple times. Ra'kshasha drew her last breath she smiled up towards the Altmer. "I can see him you know….he's one of the devines. He's leading me towards Sovernguard. Pr-praise Talo-" Ra'kshasha fell silent. Elenwyn stood there fuming.
As she turned to leave something made her turn around. What she saw would stay with her for the rest of her life. A spirit khajiit smiling in a surprisingly kind way. Talos at her side smiling in a knowing way. Elenwyn knew that no man could escort one to the afterlife. Before fading away Ra'kshasha did the one thing that was an immediate death sentence (had she still been alive) she flipped Elenwyn the middle finger before continuing onto Sovernguard.
