"Everyone stop! We'll stop here for lunch!", yelled Kela at about mid-day. The sun was at its highest point in the sky and the heat was starting to become a little too much to handle. "Kela, I think we should just set up camp here for now. The sun is getting to be too hot for the guar to go on and I know the five on foot are having troubles with the heat and their armor. So let's just set up."

"Good points there Seraph", agreed Kela. "Everyone! We're setting up camp here! I suggest you get some sleep for we leave at sundown!"

"Are you crazy!", whispered Seraph angrily. "We can't go during the night time. There are too many foul creatures! Especially once we reach the fields of Kumu!"

"Yes I know but then the heat wouldn't be anywhere near as intense and it will be easier to travel" replied Kela quickly. "Fine", shrugged Seraph as he walked away to set up his and Holly's tent.

As he returned just in time for lunch he asked Kela about guards. "Guards? What guards?"

"Exactly!", replied Seraph.

"Ah. Good point. We did get a guard tent set up on top of the hill, and your warriors volunteered to guard for us", replied Kela smugly as if he had just won the discussion. "I don't like it. Somethings wrong around here." He paused for a moment then said "I'm going to scout the are. If I find any foods or anything important I'll let you know", said Seraph before he turned and walked away following the same path that the whole group had been following the whole day.

He was walking for only a few moments before he came to a cross-roads. He saw an alter in the cross-roads and as he looked at it he realized that they were in the fields of Kumu. As he prepared to run back and tell Kela he saw something on the side of the shrine. As he looked he realized it was some sort of compartment door. He opened it up and found something that looked very much like a lock pick, but with a small, decorated cone at the base of it. He then realized that it must be the Kumu index, which he read about in another book he found in deadric ruins about a year before that.

He then ran back to Kela who was sitting up by the guard hill and shouted "We're in the fields of Kumu! We ARE in the fields of Kumu!" Kela was wondering what he was screaming about until final he understood it right before Seraph reached him. His eyes got very big as he looked down at the very tired Seraph who was trying to catch his breath. "Are you sure?"

"Yes sir! We are in the fields of Kumu!"

"Well we can't just break down camp now. Not after every one has settled in. What should we do!", replied Kela now starting to sound scared. "I think we should get all of the warriors' armored up and ready for battle ''cause believe me. There's gonna be a battle", said Seraph as he tried to hide the index in his nap-sack so that Kela didn't see it.

Kela then attempted to address the camp. "People! We are in the fields of Kumu. But we will stay here until the next sunrise for we will have a battle ahead of us tonight. I want all warriors to get their armor and weapons and all women, children, and people who aren't fighting to get their tents rounded up into a circle in the middle of the camp." He looked back at Seraph and Seraph then spoke up. "If you have silver weapons, even if you are women not prepared to fight, then keep them with you for they will be needed." Seraph then walked back down to his tent, grabbing a certain cloth sack off of the back of a guar on the way. As he reached his tent he turned to Holly and told her to get her armor on. He pulled out a book, it was all black and had some sort of inscription on the spine. He opened it up to a bookmarked page and started to mumble to himself again. "I've got an idea", he said quietly. "What is your idea Seraph? Your ideas usually don't turn out good."

"This one might work. Trust me!"

"Oh, like I haven't heard that one before! You better not end up turning a guar into a scrib-guar this time!" Seraph walked out with the book still reading it and walked up to Kela. "I found an index and there is a Deadric ruin not far from here."

"What! You actually want to take innocent people into a Deadric shrine!", said Kela, no with his voice almost at a growl. "No! Not in the shrine. To the Teleporter. The gate would take us, well according to the book of Aneheadra, right on the steps of Vivec palace. It would work. And if any of us caught blight or any other disease we could simply go to the nearby temples and get it cured for cheap instead of using our potions." Kela thought for a minute then turned to the camp. "Everyone! Break down camp we are going to get out of here and to Vivec today! Seraph has found an index, and he is able to control a teleporter's gate to get us to Vivec. Break down, pack up, and get ready. We still have to battle some deadra and clanfear so keep your amour on and weapons on you."

As the people were finishing their packing it was starting to turn to dusk and they started to hear howls over the hills that surrounded them. The whole group was lined back up on their guars, even the five on foot were on some one's guar, with the women and children in the middle of the group. "Move out!", said the elven vampire and the group started to make their way to the deadric shrine which they found out was closer than they expected. They reached the ruins and found that the only thing there was an entrance to the shrine at the bottom of a tower, and at the top of the tower had to be the gate. The groups started to walk their guar up the stairs that swirled all the way around the tower and as Seraph and Kela, who were in front, reached the top they found themselves facing a battle.

There were were-wolves and vampires already in battle. There were frost atranochs and flame atranochs at battle. There were even deadra fighting each other. All of this happening upon a great platform that must have been the gate. Seraph and Holly both looked at Kela as he looked back and Seraph blurted "What in Oblivion is going on here? Why can't we hear it?" Kela then took out his silver claymore, which he kept on his back with the iron claymore, and started to slice through the air with it. After a moment he hit something and a large purple wave of magicka went around the platform. "Yep. They have a saint's barrier up. We can't get past that unless..." He paused as he saw Seraph pull out the index. He placed it against he barrier and it disappeared. By this time there were only a few deadra left alive still killing themselves off.

As the last one hit the ground and burst into dust, Seraph lead the party around the edge of the platform so that the whole group was on it. He got off of his guar and placed the index into a hole in one of the columns that were holding the structure up. He turned the index and all of the suddenly a large fiery oval appeared in front of everyone. As Seraph looked through the gate, he saw that it lead to the top of the stairs at Vivec palace. He rubbed Narandi's head and then the guar, carrying Seraph and Holly, walked through the gate. Seeing as how hid daughter went through, Kela commanded his guar through the gate and so they went. After that they all started to go through one by one. On the other side Seraph watched as one after another riders and their guars walked out of what seemed like nothingness. He turned around to be greeted by an Ordinater.

"Hello young traveler. What means are these people and their guar getting here by?" Seraph pulled out his index and showed it to the man. "We have found a way to travel through gates in deadric ruins. We were originally to come here to deliver our goods to your leader and the tribunal. Then I was to deliver a special gift to lord Vivec." He put the index back in his nap-sack and continued. "We were traveling through the fields of Kumu when we came under attack", lied seraph as he put his arm around Holly. "So we went to the teleporter platform and fought off the rest of the attackers. Many were-wolves, vampires, and deadra. So then we escaped the oncoming forces through the gate and will be closed after the last of my troops, which are now here, have arrived."

"Well", said the Ordinator, "Your story is very incredible so I must take you to the great lord. He shall decide your judgment. And while you are there you can give him the gift you brought for him." And in saying that the Ordinator removed his helm and smirked. Two other ordinators showed up and they took him back up the stairs to the front door of Vivec's palace. "Get the guar out of the city before you get in trouble. I will meet you at the mages guild Kela. Be careful though and keep your helm on!", said Seraph as he walked away with the Ordinators. Kela, remembering that he's a vampire, put his helm back on and led the group and their guars out of the city, crossing bridges until they reached the foreign quarter, then crossing on last bridge. They tied up their guar on the silt strider port's beams and went to the different stores in the foreign quarter to sell the potions and goods they were carrying with them.
