After an entire night of hearing horrible screeches, roars, and screams of dying men, the group managed to push the ship off of the beach and into the water for the journey to Blacklight. The travel to Blacklight took a short three days of uneventful steering through the many bits of rock mass around Vvardenfel. As they finally reached a ship port, Seraph said his goodbyes to his friends and new partners and sent them off on their way, and left Holly in the city of Blacklight for she had to visit her family.
As seraph journeyed to Ebonheart, he started to miss Holly, and he knew he wouldn't see her for another thirty days. On his last day on the ship, as he was only an hour away from Ebonheart, he saw the flying creature that he had seen before, but this time he saw it seeing him. It appeared to be watching over him like a mother would with her child. Finally decided he would say something to it. "Hey! You winged weakling of an n'wah! Come on! I kow you want me so just come and get me!" Just as he had finished his word the creature dropped down and crashed on the deck of the ship, and once the dust had cleared the creature had its silvery-white wings encircling it like a shield.
"I am your guide and I do not mean to harm or scare you," said a manly voice from behind the wings. Then the wings unfolded and Seraph saw the creature's full body for once. With electric blue fur covering it's entire body, wearing an armor that had flames on it's torso, the same design on two cylinders on it's ankles, the same cylinders on its wrists, and the same design on an armor that covered it's face and spiked up in the back like a glass armor. It's snout was elongated like that of an Argonian but somehow much different, and had nostrils like an Argonian but different raised up out of the helm-like armor. "What do you mean guide?" asked Seraph as he drew his Deadric sword. "I was created thousands of years ago, about the same time the planet was born, and was taught the ways I have learned now," said the Guide. His wings withdrew into his back like smoke being sucked by a moonsugar addict. "I was then told to wait for the day when the master of the empire was born, then guide him so he does not destroy the empire instead of save it."
"So I waited. There were two powers born. Dagoth Ur, and Indoril Nerevar. I thought that the master was split in two, but then I was told to wait further. So I did. Then you were born. You were born the most powerful thing ever created, but then they realized how dangerous your power was. So they stripped you of your powers and Separated it into keys. Love, power, protection, light, and darkness. I am the light, and he Darkness is always near. Your love has been found, along with your power. And you have your protection on right now. You know that your power is the one that keeps you from death, and you obviously know your love. Any questions?"
Seraph had been trying to ask questions the whole time but for some reason his kips wouldn't open and his voice didn't work. "So I have to find all the keys? You're the things that keeps me happy? And who in Oblivion is 'they'!" As Seraph finished he felt his lips close and his voice stop once more.
"You must find a use all of the keys. And using them isn't as simple as one would expect. And no, you are your own keeper of happiness. I simply keep seeds of evil from growing within you. And they are the creators. There were two, and there still are two. They created the land and water, but let everything grown on its own. Is that all?" And as the guide finished, Seraph couldn't think of anything to say. Suddenly he blurted out "Well do you have a name?" The guide simply smiled and answered "Most simply call me Jingo."
As the port of Ebonheart came into view, Seraph looked back and saw that the Jingo was gone and the breakage that it had caused on the deck wasn't there. He looked back and saw a group of people ready to catch the ropes that he throws out so they can stop and pull the ship up to the dock. He rushed and threw all the ropes down and got off of the ship to help out. After paying the men for the help, he walked past the statue of the dragon and entered one of the wooden doors into a tower. As he reached the top and exited the trap door, he was greeted by a Dunmer in a black robe with gold designs stitched into it. "Are you from the lost house?" asked Seraph before the man even said anything.
"Yes. I have your gold and books in the chest right behind me," said the man stepping to the side so Seraph could see. "What's the catch?" asked Seraph, knowing that there is always a catch when dealing with sleepers. "Ah. Smart boy. We simply want access to your silver titans," said the man with a toothy smile, revealing sharp, unelf-like teeth. "If you honestly think you're getting to the light, then you must be the stupidest man I have ever met," said Seraph sounding serious and slightly angered. "You really think I'm stupid?" asked the man looking very enraged. "No, just foolish. See, even if you did get to them, Dagoth Ur is more light then dark. He thinks he has some light in him, but since that seed of darkness was implanted in him after being struck down for betraying Indoril, he has no chance of being able to control the silver titans without them turning on him and destroying his entire army," said Seraph regaining his serious, non-angered attitude.
"Dagoth Ur happens to be the most powerful thing on the entire planet, and will be able to control them no matter how dark they are," said the man trying not to yell but obviously enraged. "I'll just be taking my stuff and be on my way," said Seraph walking past the man and picking up the chest and opening up the trap door again. "Oh yes, by the way, if you really want to try me, then make threats when the Indoril is around. Wait, you can't. You'll probably get struck down again," said Seraph before climbing down the ladder and closing the trap door.
As he reached the bottom of the stairs, a Argonian man wearing newt-scale armor was standing at the bottom of the stairs waiting for him. "I am the general of the army of Black Marsh. I am here, and my troops are waiting for your orders in Balmora," said the Argonian. "How many did you bring?" asked Seraph. "One-thousand soldiers and five-hundred mages, just like you ordered," replied the general. "I would ask how you all got here so fast, but considering Black Marsh is close to our land, and that Argonians are fast runners and even faster swimmers, I think I can figure it out," said Seraph with a smile on his face.
