A/N: Hi everybody. I'm considering changing the stories rating to M, mostly because of last chapter. If there is really a lot more like that, I'm going to change it. If there isn't, well I probably won't. Here early in the story, there probably won't, but later, their might be. So for now on, I'll be giving each chapter a rating. By the way, could you tell me your favorite character? If there is a change, tell me, but could you just tell me. Soon, Eldinflame will meet a group of people who will be his prime supporters. Well, here it is.

Chapter 8 Caius Cosades

Rating: T+

Last Seed 9, 427, 3rd Era of Tamriel, 8:00 P.M

D'nomyar was screaming, as was Clee. The two had been tortured for the past two and a half hours. Their pain grew, as there hope depleted. And they both knew one thing about there pain: it would not end until Clee had killed D'nomyar.

D'nomyar had been begging Clee to kill him. D'nomyar had attempted to use his vast magic to save himself, but Eldinflame's Shades had absorbed the magic for him. D'nomyar continually begged Clee, which caused Eldinflame to say, "D'nomyar, Clee is no longer allowed to kill you. When she has the power to do so, she will. But till then, I am causing you this pain."

D'nomyar gasped and Clee turned pale. Oka-Sheko was staring in disgust at the gruesome acts Eldinflame had committed. This was low, even for him.

Eldinflame was surprised at a matter involving something else. His Shadows hadn't returned. By now, they would have returned, unless of course a divine force had intervened.

"Oka-Sheko, escort Clee out of the room. I wish to speak to D'nomyar." Said Eldinflame. Oka-Sheko did as Eldinflame told, and took Clee out of the room. Eldinflame immediately turned to D'nomyar and said, "I'll presume you want to live, correct?" D'nomyar gasped a yes, and Eldinflame continued by saying, "Good. Because I will, reach into my generous and kind heart and let you live, if you do a small favor for me first. There is an Orc and a Nord in a cave called Addamastarus by Seyda Neen. Kill them, and return to me with there bodies. But there is a condition. Clee never knows you live. And to make sure you do my bidding, I shall send four shades with you."

D'nomyar coughed, "How do I move?"

"Good question. You're a mage, aren't you? Well, you have the looks of one anyway, if your not. Use some magic, or something." Said Eldinflame. "Now go. Remember, you do not exist to Clee!"

"Yes. But wouldn't you have to remove the spell?" asked D'nomyar.

"I've removed it, you nitwit! If I hadn't do you really think you'd be moving now!" Said Eldinflame. D'nomyar left through a back door and Eldinflame went to Clee and Oka-Sheko. Eldinflame said, "Cleem, D'nomyar has become dearly departed. Now, do you know where Caius Cosades lives?" Asked Eldinflame.

Clee was terrified. She was in the blades, and Caius was her mentor. She trembled saying, "Yes. He's my neighbor. He lives down the street. Why do you want to know?"

"That's not important. You are to escort me and Oka-Sheko to his House right now." Said Eldinflame.

"Okay." Said Clee. They left the House and went down the street. When they reached Caius Cosades house, she said, "Here it is."

They entered the House and saw an old Imperial drinking Skooma. He said, "Clee how lovely to see you. Who are your friends?"

"Friends? Who said about friends." Said Eldinflame. "I am Eldinflame, former Duke of Firewell. I presume you are Caius Cosades. I have received orders from the Census and Excise office in Seyda Neen to give you this." Said Eldinflame as he took out a piece of paper.

Caius took a moment, looked down at the paper, and said, "Well Eldinflame Apparently, you are being placed in the Blades, which I am local commander of. That means you'll be following my orders? Are you ready you to do this?" he asked.

"If it will eventually explain my release." Said Eldinflame.

"Very well. Now as your first assignment, you are to research two cults. The first is the sixth House cult. The second is the Nereveraine Cult. My first informant, Hasphat Antabolisis, in the Balmora Fighters Guild, knows about them. You will likely have to do a favor or two for him first, but that shouldn't be two difficult. And I am assigning you a partner, a fellow member of the Blades." Said Cosades.

"Who?" Asked Eldinflame, rolling his eyes thinking that a partner would merely slow him down.

"Clee. And since she is of higher rank than you, she is in charge." Said Cosades.

As soon as Caius said that, Eldinflame and Clee immediately began to object. "I do not take orders! I am working by myself!" Shouted Eldinflame.

"I have to work with that." Winced Clee. "He does nothing but torture all life! Please give me a different assignment!"

"Stop this!" Shouted Caius. "You two are working together, whether you like it or not, so don't complain." Caius thought, 'This is going to be along assignment.'

"Very well." Said Eldinflame girding his teeth, thinking, 'It's only till your Duke.'

Valdor awaited in the cage. After witnessing what he had seen the night before, he was terrified. Malaya walked up to him and said, "Valdor, listen. The next feast of the moon is in a month, so you will have that long to escape. I will help in anyway I can, so long as you agree to one condition."

"What?" Valdor gasped.

"You do not report this to anyone." Said Malaya.

"Okay. But why do you help me?" Asked Valdor.

"Don't ask obvious questions." Said Malaya.

"Sister Savan." Said Sister Ulicia, High Priestess of the Cult of Vaernima, Lady of Omens and Nightmares, and Sister Savan was the High Priestess of the Cult of Mehrunes Dagon. Ulicia was a black haired Breton, and Savan was a combination of a Dunmer and a Dremora.

"Sister Ulicia, what are you doing here? And why are Sisters Ursula and Finella with you?" Asked Savan, seeing Ulicia's companions, both Bretons.

"As you know, Sister Savan, I am High Priestess of the Cult of Vaernima, Ursula is the High Priestess of the Cult of Boethiah, and Finella is the High Priestess of the Cult of Molag Bal." Said Ulicia. "We four are the most powerful Sorceresses on Tamriel, yet I have received an Omen. Vaernima has come to me in my dreams saying that we are to serve an Altmer named Eldinflame of Firewell, found here on Vvardenfell."

"Why would Vaernima request this? And why should I listen, I do not serve Vaernima." Said Savan.

"This Omen has said that Eldinflame will abolish the Tribunal Temple, and destroy Dagoth Ur. Although he may not be one of us, he is on our side. We shall do a Vaernima says, and serve him." Said Ulicia.

"Why should I listen to you, when I could battle and kill you?" Said Savan.

"Simply because I am more powerful than you, and even if you could kill be, Ursula and Finella would kill you. So it's not exactly a brilliant idea." Said Ulicia.

"Very well, just allow me to get my stuff. We will go to Tel Branora, and take boat to where?"

"To Vivec, and then we shall travel to Balmora, where Eldinflame is."
