Chapter 9

Discovery and Prelude to Disaster

Magustrom, Nomi, Shradreia, Habisara, and Haggarath went to the Library Common Room. Nomi said, "Here you will meet my new second in Command. Her name is Reiko Dessler. She is good at research, and very levelheaded. But there is something you should know about her. She's an Orc. If anyone has prejudice against Orc's do not get on her bad side or else. This is a warning."

"If she's an Orc, why was she named Reiko? It's more of a Breton or Imperial name." Asked Habisara.

"Interesting question. It's because she is also partly Breton. Her Great Grandmother was a Breton, but every other relative in her family is an Orc." Replied Nomi as they entered the common room.

"Ah, Ms. Rocsworth, who are your companions?" Said Reiko as she stood up, greeting Nomi.

"Yes, Reiko. This Altmer is Magustrom, member of House Elderflame, the Dunmer is Shradreia, Nightblade of the Mages Guild, the Nord is Haggarath, Barbarian of the Fighters Guild, and this is Habisara, thief of the Thieves Guild. They all came from Summerset Isle, because Magustrom, the apprentice of Lord Elderflame comes here to research House Spellweaver, and the other three are his escorts. However, Lord Elderflame is dead." Said Nomi.

"Interesting, very interesting." Said Reiko.

Somewhere in the Darkness of the Universe, a ray of light showed. Three creatures met, discussing the darkness. "The Alliance shall crush Nirn, just like they crushed the thousands of others." Said a male High Elf.

"Yes, but they will not remain like they are forever. Once Nirn is conquered, The Lord of the Dead will no longer have a use for the others in the alliance. Even Spellweaver." Said a female Fairy.

"But what is the Lord of the Dead?" Said a female Human.

"He is a Vampyre." Said the High Elf.

"A Vampyre? The Ultimate evil in the universe is merely a Vampyre." Said the Human in complete surprise.

"Not exactly." Said the Fairy

"What do you mean?" Asked the Human.

"He is a Vampyre and much more. He is the first Vampyre. He is the child of Death, he is Death. His powers are greater than anyone else could possibly imagine. Except for one." Said the High Elf.

At the Library, three days after Magustrom was introduced to Reiko, Nomi came to everyone with news. She said as she hastily ran into the room, "Vivec, the city, has been destroyed, as well as the Southern Half of Vvardenfell. It was destroyed by a bomb set off by the leaders of the rebellion. But at the battle, a new power came into play. A new species has come to Nirn. They are called the Mored. Reiko, search the Archives for anything having to do with the Mored. Magustrom, you and Shradreia look up Spellweaver. When you are done, see if you found anything that interlocked the two."

"Yes, Ms. Rocsworth." Said Reiko.

"Habisara and Haggarath, I have an assignment for you two too. You are to go to Vvardenfell and find one of the Mored, bring him or her back here. And while you're there, I have another thing to have done there." Nomi said as she turned around to Haggarath and Habisara.

"What is it, Nomi?" Asked Habisara.

"I have sensed a Dark Magic emanating from Vvardenfell. Actually, two Dark Magic's. One was the Mored and there associates, but the other was a black magic forbidden from this world. An ancient creature called a Liche." Answered Nomi.

"What be a Liche?" Asked Haggarath.

"A Liche is a Necromancer who had stored energy up for months, even years, attempting to prolong their life. They are skeletal in appearance, and are masters of Necromancy. Be careful, for this Liche may have something more to do with this then we believe." Responded a nervous Nomi.

"We will be careful." Replied Haggarath.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Vampires of Morrowind had been disposed of. Pathetic creatures, really, thought Draonor. All he had to do was create light, and he killed a hundred vampires. The true Vampires, all though not as powerful as Liche, were much less pathetic than that disgrace. But the Greater Vampyres, and his Master, the Supreme Vampyre, they were the most deadly creatures in the Universe. They had vast power, greater than a Liche or a Mummy.

Draonor took out his mirror and contacted Mina. He said through the mirror, "What have your associates completed?"

"The Seven are manipulating the Mored to attack the Library of High Rock." Replied Mina.

"How long should they be there by?"

"In about four days."

"Good, good."

"And by the way, Draonor, I'm surprised. He only offered you Liche hood. I will be given Pure Vampyrism."

"Silence, Mina."

"Very well. Complete the task at hand, and I will make you my second in command."

Mina's image disappeared through the mirror, and Draonor furiously said, "I hate her."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the Library, outside Habisara and Haggarath were preparing to go to Vvardenfell, when Nomi ran in and told them "I have some news. A Group of Mages known as the seven are apparently the true power behind the Mored. While there, find out whatever you can about them. Whatever. My sources confirm they exist, they just don't know what they are."

Meanwhile, inside the Library, Magustrom and Shradreia were researching Spellweaver when Shradreia said, "I sense something is wrong. Someone plans to betray us."

"I know, I know." Replied Magustrom

"Who do you think it is?" Asked Shradreia.

"I don't know." Answered Magustrom

As he said that, Magustrom and Shradreia over heard Reiko. She was holding up a mirror. She was saying, "Lord Uras, the Altmer knows about the Mored, and two of his companions are coming to kill you."

"No matter, they shall not be able to destroy me." Replied Uras.

"I fear you may be wrong." Said Reiko. "They are very dangerous."

"A match for a Liche. Perhaps, but by the end of the day, I shall be a Demiliche"

"Fine, my lord."

"Less than two weeks." Said the Lord of the Dead.
