MA'SHALA

"We have to bring him to the Healer of the Mane," a young Kahjiit woman had said, "It looks like he has fallen ill. He won't wake up."

"My lady, are you sure he is of our kind? I have never seen a Khajiit this large before?" asked one of her guards.

"Look at him. I have never seen any other race in Tamriel that looks like Khajiit, so he must be a Khajiit. He has the look of a warrior but the mane of The Mane. So, please take him to the infirmary so we can talk to him and see you he is," the young lady said.

"As m'lady commands," the guard said.

Two moons passed since the giant white Khajiit was brought in to the infirmary. The young lady left his side. She prayed day and night for this handsome Khajiit warrior to wake up, and finally he did. He opened his eye, and the sapphire blue eye looked at the young lady with surprise.

"Who are you kitten?" the warrior Khajiit asked.

"My name is Ma'Shala, daughter of Ri'Kalas. And you sir, what is your name?" Ma'Shala asked.

"Ajani. Ajani Goldmane. Where in the multiverse am I? This obviously isn't Alara."

"No. You are in Senchal, Elsweyr. Where is this Alara you speak of? I've never heard of it."

"Elsweyr? I've never heard of this plane before. Alara is a plane where I come from. Its one plane in the multiverse as this place is. Ma'Shala, I need your help. Take me the leader of your pride."

"My pride? What in the nine devines is a pride? Is that like a tribe? I can take you to my father, he the Lord of Senchal," M'Shala said.

"That will work."

With that Ajani and Ma'Shala left the infirmary and walk around the port city. She showed him around and talked to him about Elsweyr. She explained that Elsweyr is a province on the continent of Tamriel and how Tamriel has nine provinces. Ajani was extremely excited to see the blacksmith store. This confirmed that Ajani was a warrior like she thought. He held himself like a leader too.

After she explained about Tamriel, she listened with interest as he described this place he called Alara. How it used to be made of five shards until the conflux. He said he was from Naya before the conflux and he was Nacatl leonin. She couldn't help but think that how much he looked like a Khajiit and that her guard was right two days ago when he said he wasn't sure that Ajani was a Khajiit.

But she couldn't help but feel attracted to him…
