"Seth," Gugak said to Seth as he tried to awaken him from his deep slumber, "Seth, wake up we're here."
Seth drowsily awoke from his nap on the wagon that he was dragged out of and stared up into a clear blue sky and lush, green treetops. Seth moved his head down to survey the rest of the area around him. He saw an expansive, green forest lying before him, which he assumed to be the Great Forest. The Forest was dotted with large Oak Trees, Columbine flowers, Steel-blue Entaloma Cap Mushrooms, and other assorted plants, which Alexi and Falanmir were gathering for some potions.
Seth stood up from where he was placed in a sitting position against a standing stone surface. He stretched out to loosen up all his tense muscles and let out a loud yawn as he turned around to see Weynon Priory. The first thing Seth noticed was that the stone surface he was sitting against was a water well with a grating covering its deep hole. The well was right in the middle of a three-way junction in the middle of the Black Road.
To the left of the well Seth saw a small farmhouse surrounded by a tiny pasture, which in turn was surrounded by a stone fence with a wooden gate for entering and exiting the farm. Sheep roamed around the miniscule pasture chewing on grass, nursing their young lambs, or hiding from the blaze of the late afternoon sun.
To the right of the road Seth saw a rather small chapel. The chapel was approximately thirty feet tall and looked to be about twenty by twenty feet in area. Hanging above the tall wooden double doors of the chapel was a stained glass mosaic depicting the youngest of the Nine Divines: Talos. Who was formerly Tiber Septim, one of the greatest Emperors of Cyrodiil.
In the middle of the road stood the Maelstrom's current objective; the priory house of Weynon Priory. Seth had seen Weynon Priory many times on his trips along the Black road to either Chorrol or Bruma, but he never entered any of the buildings or even stopped there for any reason.
The Priory was a large stone building that had an Imperial basis for the architecture, which basically meant that the building was bold, but simple. To the right of the Priory building was an arch that hung over the road, allowing the passage of travelers through the wall and along the Black road. Under the arch Seth could see Ma'jaddah speaking to a tired looking Dunmer in very ragged clothes.
When Ma'jaddah had finished speaking with the Dunmer he walked over to Seth and told him what the Dunmer had told him, " He says his name is Eronor," Ma'jaddah told Seth in a purring voice, " He's a shepherd here at the Priory. When I asked him about Grandmaster Jauffre, he said he had heard of no such man, but he did say there is a Brother Jauffre who lives here and is in charge of the Priory."
"Yeah," Seth replied, " that's him."
"You sure?" Ma'jaddah asked.
"Yes," Seth said, "Baurus told me that he is indeed the Grandmaster of the Blades, but he lives here quietly as a monk when there is peace."
Iris walked up to Seth and clapped him roughly on the back, "if you say so, brother."
"I do say so, little brother," Seth proceeded to the entrance of the Priory's doors whilst being followed by his crew. He reached out for the knob to open the door, but a monk within the Priory building beat him to the punch as he swung the door open.
The Monk was a middle aged Breton man. He was wearing a black robe that could have easily had him mistaken for a member of the Dark Brotherhood if it wasn't for the monk style tonsure haircut.
"Yes?" The Monk asked," Can I help you?"
"Perhaps" Alexi answered before Seth could, " Are you Brother Jauffre?"
"No, I am Prior Maborel." He answered, " Brother Jauffre is upstairs, reading probably. Why?"
"We need to speak to him." Alexi answered again.
"I see. Well I can only let one of you see him. Rules of the house you see."
"Alright," Seth said, " I will speak to him."
