Chapter one: Landing on Port Santu
"On the day of reckoning, the one of dark light shall be revealed. He will bring the world to it's knees or he will bring it peace for all eternity." This is what Saraph Kaliki read the day before his ship reached port in the familiar land of Morrowind. He was reading a book that he found in a shipwreck that he recently found with his crew. His job is to search shipwrecks for artifacts that would lead to proving the Dunmers' beliefes wrong.
As a handsome young Dunmer, he wanted to prove that there was another power other than the Dagoth-ur and Lord Vivec that would play a key role in the battle for Morrowind. He didn't believe that the chosen one in the Nevrevine prophecies was the one to save the world. So he started a search for writings and artifacts that would prove his theory right. He found it. He found it in a journal that had random passages much like sermons scattered through out it. He was interested in the one that was born of "dark light". He wondered what exactly dark light was and why this person was reffered to many times in this journal.
A husky voice came from outside the door to Seraph's quarters, "When you're done reading that musty ol' book, do you think you could come up and help out a bit? The crew is freaking out because they thought they saw a drough."
"I'll be up in a minute... did you say a drough!", replied Seraph with excitement in his voice. As he reached the top of the stairs to the deck he was greeted by a husky voiced Nord named Telthor, "Hey Seraphim!" "Don't call me that! The only creature that's allowed to call me that is Lord Vivec himself!", Replied Seraph angrily. "Sorry son I forgot. So... do you want to see what all the excitement is about!" "Of course! I've always wanted to see a drough on its own!", replied Seraph loudly.
Telthor, dressed in animal skins and a netch leather helm led Seraph, who was wearing Dwemer armor found in one of the ruins that he explored, so Seraph could see the so called "drough". He got there and all many men on the crew were standing at the front of the ship pointing at something swimming not far from them. Seraph got there and asked one of the men how long it has been swimming there and he replied "Not too long. We all wouldn't be here if it stayed here that long." He looked at the swimming creature and started to mumble to himself. He pulled a spy glass from what seemed like thin air and looked through it and the thing that was causing so much excitement. He put the spyglass away after a minute of watching and walked away only to be stopped by a crew man asking what was wrong. He turned his sad face to him and said "They're getting excited over a mudcrab." he walked back to a hammock set up between the steering wheel and a random pole, lied down and covered his eyes with a netch leather helm that also seemed to apear out of thin air.
He was awoken a few moments later by a crewman telling him that they'll be landing at port soon. So he went down to his quarters and started to pack up his belongings into a few sacks and a chest and then took it all up to the deck. As he sat on his chest he looked up at the sky and saw something flying. It didn't look like a cliff racer but it looked more like a person. As he watched it fly across the cloudy sky over the ship he noticed that what ever it was it had large, feathered wings. All of the sudden the sip shook and the crew raced around dropping anchor and getting the walkway set up so they could reach the dock. The dock belonged to a plantation that was kept by a vampire friend of Saraph's and they would allow him to set port there and borrow some of his pack guar to make the long journey back to the capital city of Vivec.
As he got to the top of the ramps that led to the plantation Seraph was greeted by his friend, Kela Santu, a Dunmer Altmer cross bred vampire that was also very friendly and very intelligent. "Welcome back old friend. How was your journey? Did you find anything!", said the blue-skinned elf very quickly but clearly. "It was fine. And yes, I did find something", said Seraph calm. He then pulled out the journal from a sack that he ha strapped to his side and opened it up to the page that he was reading before he left. "Read this passage right here", said Seraph pointing to a passage near the middle of the page. "On the day of reckoning, the one of dark light shall be revealed. He will bring the world to it's knees or he will bring it peace for all eternity... hmm... sounds very interesting! If you can find out what this is reffering to it would most definitely help you on your quest to find truth in this world of lies", said the tall elven vampire. "Yes, I know that. That's why I'm going to bring it at the next House meeting. Hopefully this time they will fund my project", said Seraph with anticipation in his voice.
"Well, would you like me to get some of my men to help your crew unload or would you like me to show you where we're keeping the pack guar now?", said Kela. "Show me where the guar are! I want to see Narandi again!", said Seraph over-excitedly. As they walked into a fenced in area with pack guar feeding on the food bowls that were set out for them Seraph looked around, spotted a certain guar and got a huge smile on his face. "NARANDI! Oh I've missed you so much! Have you had fun! Did Kela take good care of you!", said Seraph as he ran over and hugged one of the pack guar. He looked at the guar's left eye as it started growling and making other noises for a moment. He then looked at Narandi and said "Well I'm glad you had fun without me. But I'm here now so it's going to be so much more fun! Now are you ready to get your equipment on? We're leaving as soon as the day breaks tomorrow!" He hugged his guar and walked back over to Kela at the gates and asked him if dinner was ready yet.
As they walked into the house Kela turned to Seraph and told him he needed to talk to him briefly. "Listen, Something has come up and I don't' think it's safe for you to stay here tonight", said Kela in a very worried and shaky voice. "If you can get your crew to stay in their ship tonight and make sure they don't come out, I can cast a spell that will make it invisible. But make sure that none of them come out!" continued Kela. Seraph started speaking as soon as Kela opened his mouth to speak again. "What did you do this time! Is it moon sugar sales again? Did you piss of another Governor?" said Seraph very angrily. "No it's nothing like that. It's just... I got word that a group of Ashlanders were coming to try and destroy me."
"Why are they going to do that? Did you steal something from them!" said Seraph, still sounding angered. "No I told you it's nothing like that. I found out from a source that they feel my cross bred blood along with the fact that I'm a vampire makes me an abomination and they think I must be destroyed", said Kela slower than he normally speaks and trying to keep his voice down. "Look... You know that I'll be here to fight with you. You know that me and you together as a team can take the most powerful army in the west. So I'm going to stay here, I'm going to get a few of my best fighters, and we're going to help you with your problem. No questions asked and don't try to stop me. Just get your wife and kids with the rest of my crew on the boat. And trust me", said Seraph very quickly and clearly, while still trying to keep his voice down.
As they walked into the dining room Seraph was greeted by four very beautiful looking Dunmer Altmer cross breed women. They sat him down and got him a tankard of flin. He looked at Kela who just sat down directly across the table from him and said "Your daughters are very beautiful. I'm actually very glad that I dated one of them." Kela turned to group of girls and asked them to get the food. They left the room and came back almost immediately with platters and bowls of food. They placed it in front of Kela and Seraph, smiled, then they all walked out of the room. As Seraph began to eat he said "You know Kela? I don't usually get that kind of response from women. What is it that your daughters like so much about me?" Then Kela looked up from his plate and said "I wish I knew. But when ever other women ask what they see in you they usually respond by saying everything you don't. It's nice really. You know? Having them fall over themselves about a good man instead of one of those wealthy, bad boys that all of these other girls think are so charming."
They finished their dinner in silence and then the four girls came back in to show Seraph his room. As they reached his room they went in with him and for the next three hours there was much thumping and moaning coming from his room. The girls then left his room with their hair un braided and their clothing wrinkled. He then stopped the girls to talk to them quickly. "Go get your mother, then get to the ship. As you get on tell the group of fighters to come to the house. Once you get into the barracks go to the backside. There will be many women there that will help keep you safe. No arguments. Okay?" And as the girls said okay they went down the stairs and right after them Kela came up the stairs telling Seraph to get ready.
