he had sat upon his golden throne. many call him hero others the ebony legate or harbinger of Jorrvaskr some know him as the master of Deus mons, but few know this man better than his two oldest friends Lucien and Inigo. They call him Hjalti, Hjalti Gaulderson, he is the son of Gelebor the knight paladin, and the Dragonborn of legend. and he just jumped into a rift, not realizing he was not in control of his own body until he had already passed through.

"divines damn Sheogorath" the old man groaned "why did I have to jump into that damn rift?"

Hjalti swore as he stood up he observed his surroundings with keen eyes then tensed when he saw the two idiots on the ground face down

he swore viciously as he realized they had likely jumped in after him he really shouldn't be surprised. he was though, not because they had followed him but because they both had. he had been anticipating Inigo jumping through but not Lucien, though he was fairly certain Lucien had not done so willingly.

he heard Lucien groan before relaxing though he tensed back up immediately as he heard Inigo curse then laugh then curse again.

"Lucien, Inigo get up," Hjalti commanded before visibly relaxing again

Lucien shot up before he stumbled and caught himself and stood straight. Inigo on the other hand just lay there for a few seconds then slowly stood up.

"Sorry old friend when Inigo saw you jump into the strange rift Inigo pushed Lucien and then jumped in himself," Inigo stated nonchalantly.

Hjalti sighed "Lucien you alright?"

"hmmm, oh, yes I'm fine though I think we have a problem Hjalti," Lucien said

"if it has to do with the strange flora Lucien I think Hjalti already knows," Inigo stated Lucien tensed then looked around

"Make that several problems then, Hjalti we should move there are several unknown entities approaching our position."

"Which direction are they approaching from?" Gaulderson questioned

"north" Lucien reported

"We head south then," he ordered

"you lead Inigo will follow,"

"Alright, let's go," Hjalti said

the group ran south out of the clearing they had 'landed' in, deeper into the strange forest they had found themselves within

"fan-out" Cordovin ordered, "find me what caused that disturbance Atlas must be protected at all costs."
