Hey people, once again I apologise for the lack of writing, I've got so much happening it's hard to coordinate myself and find time, when i get back into the groove of everything though I'll churn them all out again like I used to.
Resh POV
Resh would've tried to convince them further but was distracted by a frantic knock on the door. He hissed at the sound as he turned, knowing he would have to continue this conversation later and threw open the door, slamming it as he backed the guard into the hallway wall.
"What do you want? you know this room is off limits right?" Resh said, not really angry but more exasperated, he really had been tough on guards recently, and at least this one hadn't just waltzed in like the idiot who deserved his fate.
Knowing the Tsaesci didn't like it when people faffed around the man started talking immediately "It's important, it's about Elenwen…"
Cidhna Mine
Storming into the building Resh threw open the gate, the guards didn't even have time to unlock it for him, instead the giant enraged King broke the rusted thing off it's hinges, not even stopping as he left them all behind him.
Resh stopped in his tracks when he saw the sight ahead of him, the Altmer that had ruined he and his friends life so much lay dead on the floor, still limp as she was freshly killed, purple bruising and gashes around her throat.
He darted his head around the room for someone to roar at but it seemed everyone who would have been within shouting range had cleverly scampered off. Were it any other situation Resh would've been a little more productive with his emotions, but instead, he took them out on the closest thing to him, Elenwen.
Grabbing her body by the hair he glared into her dead eyes, tears of rage in his own. "You. Are. Not. Allowed. To. Die!" he screamed, each word punctuated by slamming the dead Elfs skull into the wall. It only took one slam to crack the bone and after that each was shattering the rest into nothing but greymatter and blood, yet he persisted in a fit of anger and grief, insanely shouting as he did it, distraught that her pain was over.
A few minutes passed and the energy seeped out of him, and sighed in defeat and lazily tossed the headless corpse to the side before crumbling onto the floor as he let the events of the past 10 minutes sink in.
Resh's thoughts were interrupted when one of the many guards employed in the city hesitantly entered the room upon seeing their king so upset and reduced to such a state. "Are you okay…?" they asked him obviously seeing he wasn't but not wanting to offend.
Trying to compose himself the Tsaesci rose to his full height again, dwarfing the armoured warrior. "I'm fine… just… take that thing," he choked out, pointing to the mutilated body. "And get rid of it! make sure it gets no Altmer death rights or any shit like that! She hasn't earned her death so it shouldn't be a pleasant one!"
"Yes sir," they replied right away, not wanting to get on his bad side in this very temperamental mood. "There is one more thing… there was a note along with the corpse it hasn't been open-"
The soldier had no time to finish before it was snatched off them by a giant golden hand, taking this as the cue to leave, the guard scurried out of the prison, leaving Resh on his own with the note.
Arch Correctors Letter (Think really Altmer upper class sort of thing, excellent calligraphy, golden ink, eggshell textured light golden coloured card with matt finish etc etc, that kind of thing)
Resh
Know this was done only for your benefit, I know you likely hate me now, but I am positive that will pass when you come to terms with my motives, and even agree with them in time.
Among other reasons I did this to free you from yourself, you were going down a very bad and violent path, one that could never have ended well, and I mean only the best for you and your friends. Elenwen had to die, and not by your hands, if so I can only imagine what would happen.
Finally, as you're likely down in the mine, presumably having screamed at and assaulted a corpse it is worth you checking up on your Tsaesci friend in another cell. It was obvious you were not ever going to check on him, so consider this 'encouragement' and another motive.
The Thalmor as a faction had nothing to do with the revenge I took from you, it was all me, but don't waste the opportunity to get you head on straight again and work things out, you might even get their support again.

Resh POV
Instead of having an outburst Resh calmy closed his eyes, trying to hold his overwhelming fury at bay as he relaxed. He couldn't believe the Thalmor Agent had done this to him. They weren't friends by any stretch but Resh respected him, and owed his life to the man, so for him to backstab the Tsaesci to such an extent was a painful betrayal.
Evidently the High Elf had his reasons though, as he seemed to for everything. Resh had realised long ago that the Altmer had a well thought out plan and logical rationalisation and reasoning for everything he ever did; many Resh knew he likely wasn't intelligent enough, or in the correct mental state to understand.
Deciding to cram all that into a far away part of his mind to pick up on later when he could think about it more Resh remembered about the last part of the note, he really should talk to that Tsaesci now he was down here, at least find out if he wants to kill him…
