Noleos closed the book quietly,not making a sound and yawned. How boring working here has turned out to be, she thought as she sat up and stretched, why did i ever want to work in the temple in the first place?. Skirting around the other disciples engrossed in books she pushed open the doors exiting the library. In the hall outside the ash mask of Vivec,the joy of Gnisis, caught her attention for a second. She got on well enough in the temple but the life of an apprentice was so boring and tedious that she had considered running away plenty of times.
She was on her way to her dormitory when a warm sensation spread across her side. She yelped with alarm then realised what it was and hurridly snatched a mirror from her pocket. It was a present one of the masters,Goleon, had given her for passing an exam,beneath its gilded frame lay spells of enchantment that Goleon herself had made. It allowed a two way communication between whoever held mirrors. Noleos frowned as Goleon wrinkled face swam into view in the mirror , as Goleon was in Ebonheart at a council, Why would she contact me ,she though biting her lip.
'Noleos!'Goleon gapsed , glad to see her'listen very carefully what I'm ab-
'Your hurt!'Noleos interrupted seeing Goleon with half a dozen cuts on her face'what happened?'
'Never mind now girl its too late, i have to tell you something important!' she shouted her face gleaming with sweat,in the backround Noleos could hear bangs and saw a flash every now and again'Its Lord Neumeron he's gone insane!'
'What do you mean insane?'Noleos asked quickly, Nuemeron was a higly respected knight in the imperial army, he was famous for crusading against evil creatures.
'He killed half the council in seconds, kept talking about cleansing the land'Goleon moaned through clenched teeth.
'We have to get you out of there' urged Noleos frantically.
'Theres no time, I'm dead already, he searching every room'she replied coldy' but i must tell you something quick about his plans. He wants to destroy the temple in Morrowind completely and is probably going to systematically attack all the temples soon. You have to leave now. The guard in the temple Jeanne go to her, tell her the situation and both of ye leave. Shes the only one i trust, Neumeron has spies everywhere as a few from our temple helped him in teh killin'She closed her eyes in anguish'They're in the next room, you've got to leave right now!'Suddenly the dunmers womans head turned to the side and she let out a scream. A youthful face appeared in the mirror for a second and then it exploded,showering Noleos in glass.
She stood still,shocked for a second then rushed to find Jeanne.
Jeanne a tall nord with short red hair calmly told the flusterd Breton to go get her belongings and pack her stuff. Pushing her long blond hair back from her face she got together any food in her locker and some travelling clothes.
'Okay I'm ready-' she was cut off as a figure charged her from behind knocking her down short flight of stairs and winding her.Kicking out hard she heard her attaker hiss and she pushed away from the figure. Rolling down the steps she landed in a heap at Jeanne's feet, quickly sprang up and jumped behind the Nord.
Jeanne drew her longsword sliced the figure deep into the chest easily.
'I know him' whispered Noleos peeking over the warriors shoudler'Dracus, not really a nice guy but i wouldn't have thought him an assassin'.
'Never say never' Mused Jeannne wiping the blood from her blade 'Nuemeron work faster than we thought, we have to get out of here now as theres probably more on the way'.
Throwing cloaks over both of their heads she glanced around unbolted the temple doors and lead Noleos out into the dark night.
