SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG IN POSTING THE CHAPTERS! I'M WORKING ON THEM AS MUCH AS I CAN. ^_^ THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND I HOPE THAT YOU GUYS ARE ENJOYING IT SO FAR.


Before they left town they asked a few people directions to the temple. June wasn't surprised when most of them had no idea where it was but they finally found someone who pointed them in the right direction. They found out the directions from a traveling merchant, it was lucky for them that he decided to stop in town for supplies.

They ended up getting lost anyways, they wondered around the wilderness for what seemed like hours. "I'm sure he said that the path was here." Farkas furrowed his eyebrows down as he searched. "Obviously it's not though." June replied in an aggrivated voice. She looked around some more and than she noticed Vilkas was standing the distance, it looked like he was looking out at something. June walked over and stood next to him. "What are you looking at?" She asked him.

Vilkas pointed at a Netch in the distance, June looked at it. The netch was a full grown bull and it was just floating along. It looked like a peaceful creature. "I just remembered, about a year ago not long before you and Sera joined us. I was thinking that I should take a hunting trip to Morrowind. Never imagined I'd actually be here though." Vilkas crossed his arms. He took in a deep breath as he continued to watch the creature.

It was warmer in Morrowind than in Skyrim, not by much but it still felt nice to them. "Hey guys!" They both heard Farkas call to them. They turned to look at him. "I think I found it." He pointed down a path that was hidden behind some trees. They both hurried over and they started down the path. The path was hard to follow for it was covered in over grown grass. It was obvious that it didn't have many visitors.

They walked down the path for a while till they finally saw the ruined temple that they had been looking for. June was about to walk out of the trees when Vilkas quickly grabbed her and pulled her down. "What?" She furrowed her eyebrows down at him. "Look before you walk out in the open." Vilkas pointed. June turned her head and saw people who looked like the ones that attacked them patrolling the outside of the building. June clenched her jaw as she watched them.

Before they could come up with a plan they heard a loud shout that came from a woman who was charging the people. They quickly realized that there was way too many for her to take on her own so without wasting another second they quickly charged pulling their weapons out. The enemy quickly turned to them, they than spread out summoning their magic. The battle wasn't hard since there was now four of them.

They finished the battle with nothing more than some burn marks and cuts. The woman put her blade down as she caught her breath. She looked at the three strangers in front of her and examined them closely. June examined her as well, strangely she was a nord, she was wearing heavy steal armor, and she carried a great sword that looked differnt than the ones she's seen before.

The woman than stood up straight and approached them. "Thank you for your help, I do not think I would've been able to take them on myself." She placed her blade back onto her back. She had a different strong accent. "I am Frea, may I ask who you three are?" She asked. "My name is June and this is Vilkas and Farkas." June pointed at them with her thumb. "May I also ask what brings you here?" Frea raised an eyebrow up at them. "We're from Skyrim, we've come here to find someone named Miraak." June explained. "I see.." Frea examined them more.

"It seems that we've all been brought here on the same thing then.." Frea slowly walked past them and to one of the corpses on the ground. June looked at her a bit confused. "My people have been imprisoned and I come here to find a way to free them." Frea examined the body. "Are they imprisoned here?" June asked. "N-no.." Frea stood up straight and looked down at the ground. "They are not caged in some kind of old cell..They are imprisoned in their..I guess you could say their mind." She slowly looked back up at them.

"Their under some kind of mind control, they work on this strange shrine all day and night. I've tried speaking with them but they just say the same thing, or nothing at all. Their like..Mindless creatures.." Frea looked a little disturbed. June than remembered how the people acted at the shrine near the town earlier. The man who bumped into her seemed..Mindless. "Who are you're people?" June asked. "The Skaal, we have a small village up the mountains." She turned and pointed. "So you think Miraak has something to do with this..Mind imprisonment?" June asked.

"I know he does." Frea furrowed her eyebrows down at June. "They only say his name several times during the day." She crossed her arms. "Tell me what you know about him." "I only know a little, I know he was once very powerful." Frea answered. "What about these people?" June looked down at one of the bodies. "They are his cultist, they follow him, worship him." Frea replied. June clenched her jaw as she looked at it more. She still didn't know how to wrap her head around it, she was told that Miraak had been dead for thousands of years and she just couldn't see how that was possible.

"Why are you looking into this Miraak?" Frea asked. June looked up at her and thought carefully. "We have our own reasons." June slowly answered. She wasn't sure how much she should tell her just yet. "I see.." Frea furrowed her eyebrows down. "Well than, if you don't mind. I would like to accompany into this ruin, I think we would all do better if we stick together. Who knows what's inside there." Frea looked at the giant ruin. "I think that's a good idea." Vilkas quickly answered before June could. June looked at him and furrowed her eyebrows down at him."Alright, after you." Frea stepped aside so that they could walk past her. June let out a small sigh as they did.

They carefully entered the ruin, when they stepped into the first room they looked for traps. "Well that's creepy." They all heard Farkas speak. They turned around and saw that he was staring at a strange statue on the wall. It looked like it was the head of a fish but with long sharp teeth and huge eyes. June walked over and examined it with him. "Hope it doesn't come alive.." June mumbled. It looked like it could jump out at them any moment. "Come on, let's not waste any time." Frea said walking out of the room. They quickly followed after her.

"This place.." Frea started to slowly walk as she examined the carvings on the wall. "This place..Is an evil place.." She whispered as she examined their surroundings more. June got the chills after she said that, June agreed. June felt some kind of pressure from it, as if something inside it was trying to reach her soul. The creepy statues weren't helping.

As they continued in the ruin they found themselves in a large chamber. Frea stepped in and looked around carefully, she than stopped and looked up. "Hmm..." She was examining a platform. "See that there?" She pointed. June walked to her and than looked up where she was pointing. "Looks like there could be some treasure up there." Frea said. June furrowed her eyebrows down as she examined it. "You should take a look." Frea looked over at June.

"Do you really think there is something up there?" June raised an eyebrow. "Couldn't hurt to see." Frea shrugged. June looked over at Vilkas and Farkas and they just shrugged as well. June than sighed and looked around for a way up. She saw a broken bridge leaning on the platform, she hurried over and carefully climbed it. When she got on the platform she started to look around. "See anything?" Vilkas asked. June looked around more before answering him. She saw on another platform across from her was a chest and some closed vases. "Yea." She replied.

June slowly backed up to the edge and than took a leap to the other platform. She barely made it. "Careful!" Vilkas scolded her. June just mumbled and stood up straight. She walked to the chest and opened it. Inside was a couple gold purses and some arrows. "Not bad." June grabbed the purses and the arrows. "Hey!" She called down to Vilkas. "Catch me." Without giving him time to prepare she quickly jumped off and landed on him making him fall to the ground. "Oof." She knocked the air out of him.

"Thanks." She chuckled as she got up off of him. Vilkas let out a small growl as he got up from the floor and dusted himself off. "Come on, let's continue." Frea spoke as she started to leave the room. They walked into another chamber after that one, it wasn't as big but it was still a decent size. The room was surrounded by coffins leaning on the walls. As they reached the middle of the room they all heard the doors slam shut behind them and the breaking of the locks on the coffins.

They all quickly readied their weapons as draugr began to step out of the coffins. "These guys.." June mumbled. She wasn't surprised to see them since it was a ruin but she did get tired of fighting them everytime she went into one. Luckily they were Lesser draugr so it wasn't hard for them to take them out. June felt like the battle was too easy and she was right. The moment they slayed the last draugr the door a head of them quickly opened and cultist flooded the room.

The cultist slowly surrounded them to where they were standing at each others backs. "You will go no further trespassers!" One of the cultist yelled at them. The cultist readied their magic and before they others could act three of them already summoned their sinister creatures. "By the gods!" Frea shouted. "What are those things!" "Nothing good." June answered. The monsters than started throwing strange magic at them.

They all bolted and dodged most of it. One of the spells hit Farkas and forced him to fall to the ground. It felt like he got hit with a strong gust of wind that burned him on the inside. "Ah!" He cried out. One of the cultist saw their chance and quickly charged at him with swords in both hands. Before the cultist could reach Farkas Vilkas quickly stepped forward and blocked the blow. June than pulled an arrow back and shot it at the cultist hitting him in the back of the head.

"You okay!?" Vilkas quickly asked his brother as he kept shielding him. "Yea..Yea.." Farkas spoke through his teeth as he tried ignoring the burning pain that spread through out his body. "Yaaah!" Frea slammed her sword down on one of them quickly taking them out. June stayed in the distance and shot her arrows out quickly, if any got close she would cut them with her own blade. Vilkas stayed right by his brother taking any out who came for him. After taking down a few more Frea than went towards the monsters. They cast their spells at her but she quickly dodged them and than stabbed her blade right into one of them.

The monster screeched in pain and than fell to the ground turning into ashes. The other quickly thrashed at her with its claws, they barely missed her as she jumped back away from it. She tripped over a body that laid behind her and fell to her bottom. The creature approached her was about to cast it spell at her but June was able to hit it with an arrow just in time. The monster screeched and than fell to the ash. Frea let out a loud sigh of relief. She was sure it was going to get her.

That creature seemed to be the last one, the cultist were all taken care of as well. "Is everybody alright?" June asked as she slowly lowered her. "Farkas got hurt." Vilkas knelt down next to Farkas. He put his hand on his back but Farkas shoved him away. "I said I'm fine!" He yelled. "I just..need a minute.." Farkas took in a deep breath as he slowly lowered his head. "Y-yea..I think I need one too." Frea slowly got up from the ground. She was shaken from the sight of those strange creatures. "Alright, we'll take a minute." Vilkas stood up and looked at them both. June let out a small sigh as she sat down on a broken pillar.
