As Seraph awoke Kela, Sango, Creeper, Omni, and Holly were all standing over him. "I take it I'm in the palace?" asked Seraph. "Yea," replied Holly. "What happened?" asked Seraph as he sat up and rubbed his head for it felt like it was throbbing. "After you got your armor on you and Sango both flew out into the middle of the undead and a huge explosion of green and purple took out all of them. Their dumping all the dead bodies into the water right now," replied Holly. "Wow. Fun," replied Seraph as he stood up and grabbed the handle of his sword.
"You were right," said Seraph as he took a deep bow and fell back on his back. As he awoke once more he saw that he was out in the grass during the sunset. "Where am I now?" asked Seraph. "We're heading back to Balmora," replied Kela as they walked up to the silt strider port after pulling Seraph to his feet.
As they reached Balmora, Seraph noticed every one was starring at him oddly. "Why are they looking at me as if I had a cliff racer head growing out of my forehead?" asked Seraph. "They've heard of you already. News travels fast when it comes to some one saving their land," replied Omni in a half-tired tone. "We should get some rest," said Sango as they neared The Eight Plates. "I've had enough. You guys go while I say hi to some old friends," said Seraph walking away. "I'll go too. I've had enough sleep from the black-out," said Sango as she turned around and ran after Seraph.
"So who we goin' to see?" asked Sango as she rested her arm on Seraph's shoulder. "Nithrion," replied Seraph taking, Sango's arm off of his shoulder. "The pawnbroker?" asked Sango. "Yea. She's one of my informants," replied Seraph, now resting his arm on Sango's shoulder. As they entered the pawnshop, Seraph was greeted with a hug and Sango with a dirty look. "So who's your friend?" asked the Nithrion. "Her name is Sango and no nothing's going on between us," replied Seraph quickly. "What would make you assume such a thing?" asked Nithrion. "Because I know you still don't approve of Holly," replied Seraph in a smooth voice. "Oooohhh. You two are still together?" asked the woman as if she already knew. "Yes, we are, and I need some information," said Seraph quickly. "What kind?" asked the woman shaking her head. "We need to know what could have risen that many soldiers of the undead," said Seraph.
Looking around as if to make sure no one was listening, Nithrion started with a long "Well," and continued with a school-girlish "Nothing's fir sure but people are saying the second generation of the Feral four did it and that they did it because some one very powerful was in Vivec."
"Probably for me," said Seraph under his breath. "They're also saying one of the feral four doesn't want to be what they are and that they're going to leave if they can get away with it and form a new group called the Magicka Masters. Some people are even saying they already did," finished Nithrion, now breathing heavily as if she didn't breath the whole time she was speaking. "You want a hug before we go?" asked Seraph as he opened the door. "Of course!" And after their hugs, with Sango even getting one, they departed to the eight plates once more.
"Find anything out?" asked Kela as Seraph and Sango walked over and took seats at their table. "How'd you know-?
"I know you Seraph," said Kela cutting into seraph's question. After Seraph telling the others what Nithrion had told them he took a swig of his juice and walked out with Holly. "Where are we going?" asked Holly as they walked onto one of the bridges that cross the river in the middle of Balmora. "Just sit down and wait here," said Seraph as he walked to the other side and turned a corner for a moment then came back and sat down next to her. "What was that about?" asked Holly as Seraph put his arm around her. "Don't worry about it right now," replied Seraph before commenting on how beautiful the sunset was.
Just as he finished the comment a band of lute players, harp players, and drum player came walking around the corner and started to play a romantic song, and eventually started to see. After the song was over and a kiss was received, Holly asked "Is that what you went around the corner for?" Seraph put his head down, smiled, and replied with a "Yes." So Holly lifted up his head, gave him a kiss, and got up.
As they walked into the eight plates they found Omni in full wolf form holding down some one on the floor, Kela holding his silver dagger to the throat of a person that he was holding on the table, Sango holding some one against the ceiling with some sort of spell, and Creeper standing over some one with a silver-tipped arrow in his crossbow pointed at the person on the floor. "What the fuck is going on here?" screamed Seraph. "They came in here trying to kill me and these people stopped them," said the barmaid as she stood up from behind the counter with a silver long sword. "What's with the silver stuff then?" asked Seraph. "Were-wolves! All of them!" replied the barmaid. "I have two of them trapped in the rooms downstairs if you can deal with them," said the barmaid, pointing to the hall that led downstairs. "Yea, we can deal with them," said Seraph walking past the bar to the hall with Holly. Holly pulled out her silver long-sword, one that Seraph gave her as repayment for taking her other one, opened up the door, and had the sword to the mans throat quicker then Omni could have done. Seraph pulled out his silver short-sword, opened up the other door, and had the man there up against the wall with the sword to his heart quicker than Holly had executed. "What is a kin of wolves doing here in Balmora?" asked Seraph pushing the sword a bit so that it caused pain to the man but didn't puncture the skin.
"We were sent here to kill the child of the moon," replied the man, showing sharp teeth as he did. "Child of the moon?" asked Seraph, tightening his grip on the man's throat. "The trader wolf that walks at any phase of the moon," replied the man in a raspy voice. "I'll give you one minute to get out of here and out of my city, because if you don't we will kill you. And if I find out you harm anyone on your way out, I'll be the one causing that mysterious pain in your stomach," said Seraph, letting he wolf down and following him and the others out with his short sword and long-sword out and ready for battle.
"I'm sorry about that. They were here to kill me and I didn't mean to bring you in to this and I should prolly leave," said Omni in one breath then sitting down. "No Omni. Your not leaving. You know that all they'll send is a few weak packs that can be taken care of. Besides, if ou leave and go by yourself, no were-wolf kins will accept you now and your dead meat by yourself," said Seraph, with his hand on Omni's shoulder the whole time. "Thanks Seraph. I'm staying, but we should be more careful now that they know who I am," said Omni looking at a piece of paper, apparently ripped out of a fairly old book, with a drawing of a man that looked much like him, and with writing all down the side of drawing."Well, I say we head to Sadrith Mora. They usually have some good stuff to help out were-wolves there," said Seraph as he gave Holly a kiss and got up.
