Child Among Daedra

Final Chapter: The Dream... of Death

Two Ordinators were approaching Atro. Atro grabbed

one and threw him onto a rock. The other swung its mace

but missed, and Atro grabbed him by the neck, attempting

to choke the Ordinator. The other, still alive,grabbed his

dropped mace and tried to attack Atro, but Atro threw the

other Ordinator onto him. One cracked his neck and died.

The other, stunned, was crushed by a stomp to the head

from Atro.

He forgot about Eydis, who was laying down crying. Atro

ran to attend Eydis, the blightstorm ending. He made his

way home. On the way several cliff racers attacked him,

but it was nothing he couldn't handle. He took some racer

plumes and fed them to Eydis when they were home. They

went to sleep after eating.

This time, Atro had a dream. He was laying down, arms

and legs spread apart, in some pathway in the ashlands.

The world around him was dark green, he could barely

see. A nix-hound was sniffing him. He tried to get up and

push the hound away, but he couldnt. Then, he saw Eydis,

all grown up, in gold armor, triumphing over a Khajiit in full

black clothing, saying "You've always been a disappointment,

Chadok."

He woke up to see a nix-hound standing on him, biting

him. "AAAAAAARRRRRRR!" Eydis heard as she woke up.

Eydis screamed to see Atro laying, the fire leaving him. The

nix-hound, surprised, fled. Atro's last words were spoken in

Daedric, but Eydis could understand the words "go" and "be"

and "dream". Eydis assumed it meant "Go. Be whatever you

dream to be."

Eydis Fire-Eye headed towards Balmora, to be what she dreamed

to be, a member of the Fighters Guild.

borrow his character.
