"Lay down." Sheogorath whispered.

I got down on my knees and laid on my back, my hands neatly resting on my stomach. Sheogorath joined me, laying down and staring at the now pink-streaked sky. I sighed gently and smiled.

"What's so funny?" He asked.

"Nothing, I just like being with you, that's all."

"Oh."

I wonder if he completely forgot what he just told me.

"Sheo, do you remember what you just told me?"

"Go make me a sandwich?"

"Umm..no.."

"Oh. Go make me a sandwich then! Chop chop!"

I laughed gently. Yeah, looks like he did. I stood up and brushed the dying leaves from my clothes and stepped into the water, wading my way back on shore. I looked back to Sheogorath, who clutched onto a tree, looking so forlorn.

"Aren't you coming back?" I called across the water.

"Not tonight. Just go home."

I balked slightly, but shook my head, making my way back to the palace.

--

"Hello Haskill." I greeted as I walked through the door.

"Where's Sheogorath?" He asked, noticing he wasn't on my back and kicking my sides for me to go faster.

"He's still on his little island thing, he's not coming home tonight."

Haskill sighed explosively. This was one of the few times where he showed emotion.

"Is there a problem?" I asked.

"Relmyna is here to see him. She won't believe me if I tell her."

"So I'll tell her." I chuckled and saw her standing impatiently by his throne.

She was a dunmer with bright orange hair tied into a messy bun. She looked at me with such contempt I could have killed her. I remember having to deal with her when I killed the Gatekeeper. All her nonsense with "He's my child!" and "You can't kill Sheogorath's child!" Ch, showed her wrong.

"Sheogorath isn't coming back tonight." I said sternly.

"And who are you say?" She spat.

"I just saw him a few hours ago. He said he isn't coming home."

"I suppose you're sleeping with him too?"

"Excuse me?!"

I was not floozy! I watched as her hand glowed a bright red, and I remembered that she was a powerful sorceress, so I dived out of the way and into a fire column, dumping the embers all over me. I quickly patted the fire out on my arm and readied myself. All she used was spells, so I had a slight chance. My hand began to flicker with electricity as I cast a bolt of lightning at her, causing her to scream and fall to her knees. I walked over to her, sword still in hand, but she caught me surprise. She reared up and grabbed my ankle with her hand glowing a pale yellow. I immediately crumpled to the ground, clutching myself wildly. I heard the door open and watched as man in purple clothing proceeded to strangle Relmyna, actually lifting her off the ground.

"What have you done?" He said dangerously low.

"But Sheogorath! I--"

His grip tightened around her neck, causing her cough and gasp for air. I felt my insides burn and almost melt, so I screamed as loud as my voice would let me. Sheogorath dropped Relmyna and scooped me up in his arms, grunting from the heat radiating from my body.

"I will speak with you later Relmyna. This isn't finished."

With that, he carried me away.
