This story is NOT related to Black Alliance Chronicles, and that the majority of the stuff belongs to Bethesda Software. If you want to use one of my characters, tell me in a review of this story.

Prologue: Conspiracy, Arrest, and Trial

Morning Star 1, 424, 3rd Era of Tamriel, approximately Six P.M.

"So, the poison is in place." Said a short, yet muscular male Bosmer Archer named Agoth.

"Precisely, my agents have infected every morsel of cuisine in the Imperial Kitchens with the blighted, accelerated thrice Cordilla Virus." Replied a tall Altmer Noble Mage named Duke Eldinflame of Firewell.

"Excellent job. The feast begins in less than an hour, so I recommend we get to your positions. Agoth, return to your home, One-Finger-Three-Toes, occupy the guard, Allysa, you to return to your home, Nelä Vórden, kill anyone who could be a witness, Hagarr, help her. While that takes place, Duke Eldinflame, Lady Edwina, Lady Rena, Lord Shuraskis, and I shall attend the New Life Feast of the Noble to witness the murder of the Emperor. Now get into your posts." Said a medium sized Imperial Knight named Tomas Evenstone.

"One more thing." Said Duke Eldinflame. "I am bringing a decanter of wine for those of us in attendance here who shall be present at the feast. The wine is not poison, and in fact contains the poison cure. So only consume that."

Morning Star 1, 424, 3rd Era of Tamriel, approximately Seven P.M.

At the feast, Evenstone, Eldinflame, and the other nobles had arrived. At the table, one of the Dukes of the Imperial Province, Robert Oddwind, made an announcement to the nobles, "The Emperor will be very late tonight, so he said to start eating without him." After he finished, the nobles started eating and drinking, while Edwina, Thomas, Rena, and Shuraskis were drank the wine that Eldinflame bought. A few moments later, Robert Oddwind had a bloody nose and spots all over him. This happened to several of the other nobles as well. Robert collapsed and died, and his corpse was still bleeding. The other nobles followed in this process. Tomas turned to Eldinflame and said, "Your plan is brilliant."

He responded by saying, "You haven't perceived the half of it."

"What do you mean?" Replied Tomas, as his nose started to bleed. "Traitor!" He continued as he turned around and saw the others dead.

"Oh poor, poor Tomas. Haven't you realized I didn't betray you. This was part of my plan the whole time. I just didn't tell you the last phase, because I knew you would assume what would happen." Said Eldinflame as Tomas died. Eldinflame called for the guards and said, "I poisoned the food. I will make you a deal. At my trial, rather than having the Judge execute me, he will send me to prison in exchange of me naming everyone else involved in the conspiracy. Got it."

"Yes, we'll inform the Judges."

The Judge at Eldinflame's trial was making the sentence, saying to the vast courthouse, "Normally, for the crimes of treason, murder, attempted murder, and attempted treason, the death sentence is given. But since Eldinflame has named the other members of the conspiracy, has contained the damage of the Cordilla virus, and turned himself in, we sentence him to life in prison, and strip him of the title of Duke."

Former Duke Eldinflame was escorted to the room, was taken to the prison in Cyrodill, and started his three-year sentence.

"Are you sure that's what the prophecy say?" Asked Emperor Uriel Septim to his advisors.

"Yes, we are positive, and we are just as positive it is Eldinflame fits the requirements. He has no birth records, and got his title by earning it, not through his parents, who are not known, or maybe not alive. He is the only one who could fit the prophecy." Said one of the Advisors.

"Very well. Have him released, and taken to Morrowind, Vvardenfell district. Will place him in the blades, under Caius Cosades. Send a message to the Census Office, explaining everything, have them give it to Eldinflame, and he'll deliver it to Cosades. Have it written in code, and seal it. Send whatever else necessary along with the note to the Census office." Replied Emperor Septim.

Last Seed 4, 427, 3rd Era of Tamriel, 6 A.M

At the Cyrodill Maximum Security Prison (The CMSP), Eldinflame had been rotting away, doing…ugh…physical labor. He was in level ten security (the highest, in this story, anyway). That morning, the Prison Warden, an older Cyrodill with gray hair and a gray beard, had come to his cell and said, "Although I hate to do this to a criminal as deadly as you, the Emperor has ordered your release. He didn't tell me why, but that you were to be released as soon as possible."

"Excellent. What about my possessions? My tons and tons of wealth, my estates, my property." Asked Eldinflame with the thoughts of 'The idiots, thinking I wouldn't get out, probably sold my stuff and reduced taxes for the workers. It sickens me.'

"I'm sorry, but we thought you wouldn't get out, so we sold it all. Look on the bright side, though. It reduced taxes for the workers. Isn't it wonderful?" Said the Warden somewhat cheerfully.

"Perfect." Replied Eldinflame sarcastically (without revealing he was being sarcastic). He thought, 'I'm probably going to be given basic survival needs."

"You will, however, be given things for your basic survival needs." Said the Warden.

"Great." Said Eldinflame. 'What is moronic, abecedarian dimwit of an acerebral going to tell me next. I won't be given a house or manor?' he thought.

"Unfortunately, we won't be able to give you a house or Manor." Continued the Warden.

"Let's depart before I here anymore privileges that have been removed from my use." Said Eldinflame, thinking 'Next someone's going to tell me I have to work for an Imperial Agent'.

"Fine, lets leave."
