A/n: I wanted to post this as a long chapter, but quickly, so there is no to my reviewers.

Chapter 10: Vivec

Last Seed 9, 427, 3rd Era of Tamriel, 11:40 P.M

Eldinflame, to Clee's boredom, had been asking Caius specific details about their quest for the past two and a half hours. Eventually, when Eldinflame left, with Clee and Oka-Sheko following. As Eldinflame walked toward the Hlaalu Council Manor, Clee said, "Where are you going? Caius instructed us to go to Hasphat Antabolisis."

"I'm going to the Hlaalu Council Manor, where do you think I'm going." Said Eldinflame impatiently.

"Please, please don't say your in House Hlaalu too." Said Clee.

"By the Dark One! You are becoming more and more irritating." Said Eldinflame.

"The Dark One?" Asked Clee.

"Clee, this is a big universe, and you're a tiny person. Don't question things you couldn't possibly understand." Eldinflame exclaimed.

Clee rolled her eyes at that statement.

"What are you waiting for?" Shouted Sister Ulicia to the group of Brothers and Sisters she had placed under her command.

"Sister Ulicia, if you could perhaps be a little less tyrannical." Said Sister Dina (she obviously wants to die).

As soon as Sister Ulicia heard that, she instantly killed Sister Dina. "Any more objections to my commands?" Asked Sister Ulicia.

The other people in her company were far too afraid to answer, fearing Sister Ulicia's wrath. Most were surprised that Dina was foolish enough to comment against Sister Ulicia. But, Sister Dina had always been more free minded than many of the other members of the Cult of Vaernima.

The people arrived at the docks of Tel Branora. Sister Ulicia went to the shipmaster and said, "We need passage to Vivec. I intend to get it now."

"I'm sorry madam, but our boats don't hold that many." Said the Shipmaster.

"Then use two boats!" Shouted Sister Ulicia.

"I'm sorry madam, but that will cost over a thousand Septims." Said the Shipmaster.

"How much does it cost exactly?" Asked Sister Ulicia, losing patience by the second.

"That would be one thousand four hundred and thirty three Septims." Said the Shipmaster.

Sister Ulicia reached into a pocket in her renaissance style gown, and took out two thousand Septims. She gave the man the one thousand four hundred and thirty three, and the Sisters and Brothers boarded the ship.

Marcus had just gone to bed. Being an important Imperial Agent, personally serving the Emperor, had long hours. His half Sister, Amelia, and the cousin to the Emperor, was planning on going to Vvardenfell for vacation and inspection, along with the Emperor's Advisor, Viktor. Marcus was assigned to go with them for protection.

Marcus had just started his first dream, two male Altmer, two female Bretons, and a female Dunmer walking into a large Palace, which was, apparently, newly completed.

The Second took place inside that palace. Several hooded figures sat there, surrounding three of them. The one in the center said, with a voice that no mortal was meant to hear, "We once again stand united. The Dark Gate is prepared, and the evil that once was defeated shall rise again." A portal made of bones started causing an earthquake in the room, and the central figure continued. "The Skies will become as fire, and the sea will turn to blood. The righteous shall fall to the wicked, and the innocent shall be at the mercy of all of evil. The Dark Daedra shall come, and I shall rule us in this chaos! I, the Dark One, shall open the portal to Darkness, and evil shall triumph. Go now, Kea, and be the harbinger of our arrival. Go forth into Oblivion, allow the Daedra to take a permanent physical form in this world, and let terror, destruction, and hatred reign." The one known as Kea stood up and went through the Dark Portal.

The dream ended and flashed to a different setting. Vampires, werewolves, Daedra, and black creatures roamed all over Tamriel. The hooded figure sat atop a throne of bones, and people were sacrificed daily.

His fourth dream showed him a light, and with a female voice, it said, "This is what shall happen if he comes to power. You must find him, and help kill him and his companions. If you fail, all shall be lost, and darkness will rule."

Eldinflame, Clee, and Oka-Sheko arrived at the Hlaalu Council Manor, and Eldinflame was awaiting an audience with Shail Gra-Mobuk and Nileno Dorvayn. After nearly two hours of waiting, Nileno and Shail Gra-Mobuk had Eldinflame, Clee, and Oka-Sheko taken to a Hlaalu Conference Room.

"Shail, Eldinflame has been given a duty to take a recipe from Alchemist Aurane Fenris. He has a plan to permanently end her business, but requires assistance. Her downfall will make Hlaalu Alchemists much richer." Said Nileno.

"I'm listening." Said Shail.

"Aurane's shop is located in the Foreign Quarter. What will happen is that you will go in and ask for a potion, or something. Than say that you heard Jobasha's Rare Books was located near by, which according to my last visit here, is. If she doesn't take you there, than get lost and come back. I will be waiting outside the door on the other side, ready to kill her. However, I will be under invisibility spells, to prevent the Ordinators from seeing." Said Eldinflame.

"Nileno!" Shouted Clee. "Have you really lowered yourself to aiding in cold-blooded murder!"

"Clee, this is politics, the Art of the Possible. You must understand that its possible that Aurane Fenris could drive Hlaalu Alchemists out of business." Said Nileno.

"That doesn't justify murdering her!" Said Clee, even though she honestly couldn't care less if Aurane Fenris was murdered. She just wanted vengeance on Eldinflame for what he did to her friends, and she would do that by destroying any of his ideas and plans she possibly could.

"Clee, Eldinflame and Shail are the only two people in this project. If you have complaints, don't say a word of it, or we'll all be fined, and I shall see that you are expelled from the House!" Shouted Nileno.

"Very well." Clee said as she left the room, followed by Oka-Sheko, who knew Clee couldn't get away.

"Shail, would you help in this?" Asked Eldinflame.

"Yes." Said Shail after a moment. She continued by saying, "Only because this will help the House."

"Shail, if that is the case, it is time to go to Vivec." Said Eldinflame.

"At this time?" Questioned Shail.

"Yes, this way Aurane will be at her weakest. She will be an easy prey to us." Said Eldinflame.

"Its no wonder you became Duke of Firewell." Commented Nileno.

"True." Said Shail. "But he also committed mass murdered of societies upper class."

"Shail, go introduce yourself to my companions, while I speak with Nileno." Said Eldinflame.

"You wanted to speak with me, Eldinflame?" Said Nileno as Shail left the room.

"Nileno, I believe I have a plan that will destroy House Redoran, and place House Hlaalu in control of House Telvanni, and even the Imperials." Said Eldinflame.

"Really, Eldinflame?" Said Nileno. "Go on, I'm intrigued."

"I'll be hosting a meeting on the Odai Plateau in less than a week, five days exactly. I'll explain then, but is there anyone in the house that is young and powerful, even if that person does not want that power?" Said Eldinflame.

"Hmmm." Said Nileno. "I think Ilimeni Dren would wit that description well. She is the daughter of Duke Dren, but she is a abolitionist, not a politician."

"That sounds perfect. I'll explain my plan at that meeting I'll be hosting." Said Eldinflame.

"Eldinflame, did you realize there is a vacant manor atop of the hill. I think you might be our candidate for it, if you'd like it, but you'll have to do a little bit more business for me." Said Nileno.

"Excellent. That should make the others I'm inviting happy, especially a Dunmer in the Mages Guild and this House name Lyraki." Said Eldinflame.

Nileno flinched at the sound of that name and said, "Eldinflame, getting involved with Lyraki is dangerous. The House Councilors even fear her."

"Yes, I know she's dangerous, but she's a valuable ally." Said Eldinflame.

"I can't argue with that." Said Nileno.

"Well, I am now going to Vivec." Said Eldinflame.

"Excellent." Nileno stated as Eldinflame left.

Brother Algernon's group was about to arrive at Vivec. When his group arrived, Sister Ulicia's and the others groups would leave by Silt Strider to Balmora. Then, they would serve Eldinflame, and Brother Krovonos would be able to contact the other cults.

Brother Algernon's group arrived on shore about a second after a Silt Strider pulled into port, and out of it came an Altmer male, a Bosmer female, and two Orcs, one male and one female.

Sister Ulicia realized that if they came from Balmora-she rushed over to the Altmer and said, "Sir, did you come from Balmora?"

"Yes, I did." Said the Altmer. "Now what is the point of this?" He than said impatiently.

"Are you by, any chance, Eldinflame of Firewell." Said Sister Ulicia.

"Yes I am. And you are?" Said Eldinflame.

"I Sister Ulicia, High Priestess of the Daedric Cult of Vaernima." Said Sister Ulicia.

"Really!" Said Eldinflame with a bit of excitement in his voice. "I've heard all about your work. That's where I got the idea to use the Cordilla Virus on the court. Everyone in the palace, except the Emperor got it."

"Wow! The most ruthless person in all of history got some of his ideas from me!" Said Sister Ulicia.

While Clee was thinking, 'Not another one!', Sister Ulicia said, "Who are your companions?"

"This is Oka-Sheko, an Orc assassin and client of mine." He said as he pointed to Oka-Sheko, than pointing to Shail. "This is Shail Gra-Mobuk, a Hlaalu member, like myself. And that is Eelc."

"Clee." Snapped Clee quickly.

"Whatever." Said Sister Ulicia. "And I must introduce you to my companions." Said Sister Ulicia pointing to the other Daedric Cultists. "Well, at least the important ones."

Sister Ulicia led them over to Sisters Rowena Ursula, Anastasia, Elizabeth, Athena, and Rowena, and Brothers Krovonos, Nathan, Alexander, and Algernon, introducing each of them, and there position in the cults.

"Well, Eldinflame." Started Sister Ulicia. "I have been sent instructions by Vaernima. She has requested us to aid you in whatever you plan to do in anyway you can, and I'd think that four hundred and forty sorcerers and sorceresses at your fingertips are valuable."

"I certainly agree. Your brothers and Sisters can take up residence anywhere they want, but you and I have work to do. At this rate, we will have control of all of Morrowind." Said Eldinflame. He could believe what he had just said though. He said we would have control of all of Morrowind. Although meeting Sister Ulicia was exciting for him, which was rare indeed, he'd never thought he'd say we.

Valdor lay in the cage, victim to any of the Dark Ones taunting. He had learnt in the past day and a half he was not one to be an enemy to. More importantly, however, he needed to know many more things. About his mothers history. Why did she become a Shadow Weaver? Who was she hunted by? And also about where he was. And he also needed to know how to escape.

The only thing he was sure of, that was when he went to the Vivmasilaine Ancestral Tomb, he never saw this coming.

A/N: Oh…is this the beginning of a completely new side to Eldinflame? One that can embrace true evil as true love?

By the way, the names Viktor, Amelia, and Marcus are from a movie. Anyone willing to guess what movie? They don't have similar parts though.

And the whole Aurane thing will be continued next chapter.
