Chapter 22. Azura
A/n: I took a break, I recently slit my hand open so I couldn't type or write that well.
Vvardenfell leapt off of the rock and ran down the pathway, her bracelet glowing all the brighter as she saw a light in a nearby grove of trees.
She stopped and moved Skooma away from her leg, then straightened her belt and walked into the grove.
Azura was sitting on a stone, watching a scrib pat the ground with its spiny tail. She looked up suddenly and gestured her hand as Vvardenfell felt herself getting pulled closer.
"I have beckoned you today, to discus an urgent matter. Soltha Sil, and Alemexia have brought to my attention that someway, somehow, Dagoth Ur has escaped from Red Mountain." She said, and Vvardenfell noticed that there was emotion in her voice that wasn't there last time she spoke to Azura.
"Have you warned Vivec?" asked Vvardenfell.
"Vvardenfell, I have beckoned you today to say that I think Vivec has something to do with it! There have been reports of people seeing a shadow, in the water and on the bridges around Vivec's temple." Azura said, while a tear ran down her eye. Vvardenfell could tell that Azura was choosing her words carefully, she knew more than she would tell.
"This shadow, what is it?" Asked Vvardenfell, seeing how far she could push the goddess.
Azura looked up. "No one knows. But all of us, the gods, believe that it is polluting Vivec's mind. We want you to go to his temple with this key, and go through his secret entrance in the water, no one knows about. Spy on him. Find out who is with him, and try to follow the shadow. You must not chance him seeing you." Azura moved her hands over Vvardenfell's wrist, and the bracelet snapped and fell into her glowing hand. She then floated a white and golden key over to Vvardenfell.
"Take this, and know that I am watchful." She said as her body began to dissipate, "You have been chosen"
Vvardenfell walked out into the open grove, and found Larka, Ryan, and Skooma lying unconscious.
"They must have tried to get too close." Vvardenfell said, walking over and shaking Skooma gently.
A/n: Sorry that it's short, but I've been gone for a while and just wanted too update before I got banished to the dreaded second page.
