A/N: This chapter might include a bit of transgender-ness, so be warned. Nothing sexual though. (Yes, I am going to have June possessing Derkeethus if you are wondering.) Cue the incredibly long disclaimer that I have to do because of this chapter. "As if it wasn't long enough!" I hear you say, well I just want my ass covered, alright?

Chapter 21: You Had Another Soul?!
[The next morning]
"Hey, rise and shine, June." Janice yawned as she opened her eyes.
"Give me a moment." 'Derkeethus' said groggily.
"Derkeethus? I am not talking to you… Where is June?" Janice said, a little startled.
"I am June!" 'Derkeethus' yelled as he turned around.
"What?! You are Derkeethus! Don't try to prank me!" Janice shouted as she shot straight up.
"Keep it down would you?" Alduin muttered, eyes still close.
"What about Derkeethus? Where is he?" 'Derkeethus' asked.
"Could it be you possess Derkeethus, June?" Janice asked after a few moments.
"Possess Derkeethus? Ha! It is not like I can- do… that…" June trailed off as she looked down at herself. "Ah! How did this happen?"
"I think it is best that I get you another bed, obviously you possess whatever body is closest to you when you sleep." Janice said.
"Is this what breathing feels like? It feels like I am eating air through my nose…" June commented her new feelings that she never experienced before. "And then vomiting it out again."
"You will get used to it. Anyway, can you get out of there? Derkeethus have to attend to some important business today, an ambassador is coming over from Morrowind to discuss a possible alliance with the Empire. I think I have time to play with you if you really need company, though." Janice said as she got out of bed.
"I thought you have to attend it as well?" June asked as she move her fleshy arms. "Everything feels new to me…"
"I just have to be there to make sure Derkeethus isn't treated like a slave." Janice answered. "Derkeethus and the council don't trust me to make the bigger decisions myself. Now, get out of there before someone sees you!"
"I think I want to stay in here for a while, I want to experience things only mortals can do." June said as she stood up. "Like experience gravity. Damn, how heavy is this lizard?"
"I guess you can do that until after breakfast, the ambassador is coming in at 10 a.m. and will stay till after lunch." Janice told the playful spirit.
"Yay! But, first," June said before transforming Derkeethus' body into a female version. "This is much better."
"How am I going to explain this at the table?" Janice grumbled as she facepalmed. "Anyway, how good are you in combat?"
"As good as you are, Arkay told me everything about you and even send some trainers to train me." June replied. "So this is what scales feels like, they are a lot smaller than the dragon scales I am used to."
"Good, you can help me sometime." Janice said as she showed June the bathroom. "Well, this is where we mortals clean ourselves every morning and evening. He bathed before going to bed, so you just need to clean his face for him. Weird having to teach myself how to use the bathroom."
"So, how does this thing work?" June asked as she held up a towel.
"Just dip it in water, like so." Janice instructed as she dipped her towel into the bucket of water. "Then twist the towel so that water comes out."
"And then?" June asked as she followed Janice.
"Wipe your face." Janice instructed as she does so.
"What is next?" June asked.
"Wash it in the water and hang it up like it was before." Janice instructed. "Then put some water in your mouth and gargle. Spit it out at that drain over there."
"I have a weird feeling in my lower abdomen." June said as she clutch her groin area.
"You have to pee, just go sit on that stool with the hole in it over there. Remember to pull down your pants!" Janice instructed.
"Then?!" June asked as she gets more desperate for release.
"Just let it go, your body should do the work." Janice instructed.
"That feels better…" June said in relief as she got up and pull her pants back up. "What is going to happen to this?"
"The servants will come in here to clean up the bedroom later, so don't worry." Janice said as she look at her reflection.
"Alright, what's next?" June asked as Alduin walked into the bathroom.
"Good morning, don't play with my things now." Alduin warned June.
"You have belongings?" Janice asked.
"I found some things to take with me when we were 'exploring' together." Alduin replied.
"Like what?" Janice asked as June walked out of the bathroom.
"Gems, gold, some chew toys I found in June's pocket dimension. I wonder why she have those…" Alduin said.
"Whatever, see you later." Janice said as she left.
"What are you doing?!" Janice yelled as she saw June bouncing on the bed like some kid on vacation in a hotel room.
"This is better than bouncing on a trampoline!" June yelled excitedly.
"What…? Whatever, get down from there! The bed can't take the strain." Janice ordered, not knowing what a 'trampoline' is.
"Alright…" June said dejectedly as she got off.
"Anyway, you got to get dressed, nobody want to see us in our sleeping attire." Janice said as she put on her armour as well as her cloak and crown.
"Can I get a fancy cloak like you?" June asked. "Or that crown?"
"You should wear Derkeethus' armour and clothing items, here you go." Janice said as she handed June Derkeethus' armour, cloak and crown.
"But this is for males!" June complained.
"Just put it on, some magic will make it fit." Janice instructed.
"Nice, though why you want to choose to use dragon scales?" June asked. "Aren't they your kin?"
"I only recently discovered I am the daughter of Akatosh, this armour was made before that." Janice replied as she opened the door. "Come on, our parents are waiting."
"Wow, so this is what the palace looks like on the inside, it is bigger than the model I had." June said as she looked around, ignoring the weird looks the guards were giving her.
"She is with me." Janice said to the guards. "Didn't you look around when you were in your ring?"
"There is only so much that you can see from the ring." June replied.
"Okay, are you hungry?" Janice asked as they reach the dining room.
"I have this feeling of gnawing in my stomach." June replied.
"Good then." Janice said as she entered the room.
"Good morning, where is Derkeethus?" Jane asked as the two entered the room.
"Uhh… June possess Derkeethus and she turned him into… Her…" Janice pointed at the woman behind her.
"I see… Well, at least your children are still sleeping or it can get a little weird." J'Zhar said.
"You have children?" June asked. "Are they cute?"
"Adopted children." Janice corrected. "And they should be adorable. You can play with them if you like, their rooms are one level below ours."
"Oh, of course I would want to!" June exclaimed excitedly.
"She sure have a child's mentality. She makes you look more matured." Jane commented.
"What do you mean by THAT?!" Janice yelled in anger.
"Throwing a tantrum like that pretty much makes you look like a kid." J'Zhar said.
"You… You are right, I guess…" Janice said in defeat as she slumped into her seat.
"So, how do you eat?" June asked, staring at her pie, ignoring the weird looks by the maids.
"Cut the pie into sizable chunks, like so." Jane demonstrated.
"And then?" June asked.
"Put it in your mouth with your fork and chew." Jane said as she does so.
"I think this takes too long, I am going to stuff my face!" June announced as she pick the entire pie up and pushed it into her mouth, the pie's stuffing flying everywhere.
"This is a place of formality! Please behave!" Janice yelled as she wipes the pie stuffing from her face.
"I am still not full!" June announced as she conjures a stack of pies on her plate.
"Please! Eat properly!" Janice shouted as she grabbed the woman's arms.
"Alright…" June sighed.
[After breakfast]
"I am stuffed!" June announced as she rubs her big belly, the maids having gone off to settle their spinning heads at the craziness of the Argonian woman.
"Exit Derkeethus' body now!" Janice demanded as she wipes pie stuffing off her face and armour again. "And please eat properly next time…"
"I only did that for a pie!" June said innocently.
"Yeah, and that pie exploded everywhere." Janice said as she observed her parents doing the same.
"You need to be taught a lesson!" Jane yelled in a disciplinary tone.
"Sorry mom!" June yelled as she ran in circles around the table.
"Get out of Derkeethus, NOW!" Janice commanded.
"Alright, alright…" June said with her hands up as she fade slowly out of Derkeethus' body and materialises behind the body.
"Ughh… What happened? It was a dream of gold and women before it was filled with ponies and colourful rainbows…" Derkeethus said as she got up. "I feel strange…"
"Got you!" Janice announced triumphantly as she captures June within the ring. "Stay in there until you learn how to control yourself."
"You might want to look at yourself." Jane said.
"Ahh! Why am I a woman?! And what is this big belly? Am I filled with eggs?" Derkeethus yelled in shock.
"Relax, you were possessed by June here and she ate too much. She also turned you into a woman." Janice assured the panicking Argonian.
"Turn me back! I have an important meeting to attend to." Derkeethus yelled to the ring.
"Oh, fine, you all are no fun." June sounded from the ring before turning Derkeethus back to normal, albeit a little fatter than he was before.
"That's better, though I still have this big belly…" Derkeethus said as he rubbed the belly.
"Here, this should work." Janice said as she handed Derkeethus a potion. "It should help with digestion and reduce fat build up."
"What is it made from?" Derkeethus asked after he hurriedly drank the potion.
"Skeever droppings, Giant's Toe, sewage, rotten Nirnroot and some Vampire Dust." Janice answered. "Oh, and Alduin's dung for texture."
"Oh, I think I am going to be sick…" Derkeethus said as he turned a shade of green higher than you would think possible.
"Here you go." Janice said as she conjured a bucket for Derkeethus, just in time too, for he vomited.
"Haa… Haa… Is that how the potion works?" Derkeethus panted as he finishes. "My belly is back to normal, though."
"Not really, but that usually happens anyway." Janice replied.
"This is shaping to be one weird day." J'Zhar commented, holding his forehead in his left hand. "I am going out to the city, don't find me!"
"See you, father." June said.
"I am going shopping, but I do have a question." Jane said. "Can't anyone soul trap June?"
"I made it so that she is bound to this ring, so no." Janice replied.
"Good, see you." Jane said as she followed J'Zhar out.
"Hey mom!" June called out. "Can you buy a smartphone for me?"
"What is that?" Jane asked.
"It is a device with a touchscreen and can play a lot of games." June explained.
"What is a touchscreen?" Jane asked, rather clueless.
"You never heard of it? Old people like you really need to get on with the times." June said.
"We all haven't." Janice said.
"How backwards is this place?" June wondered.
"Just what Arkay show you?" Janice asked.
"He showed me a world where there is no such thing as magic, or elves, or dragons, or Khajiits and Argonians, the world is only populated by Imperial looking humans and they stay in buildings much larger and taller than this one and they have a lot of them. Some were made of glass and some of stone. They have technologies that you wouldn't believe, there is this machine where it literally prints things in three dimensions! Also, they have this thing called a bicycle that replaces horses but are powered by there legs. I rode one with Arkay once in a park. I remembered falling repeatedly until I got the hang of it." June replied. "They also have these small devices that sits inside their hands and they can connect to something called an 'internet' where they have lots of information on just about everything, including this world! They called it 'The Elder Scrolls' and is classified as an action open world role-playing game on this online store called 'Steam'. I played through all the quests in it and its DLC… It was awesome!"
"Uhh… Forget that I ever asked." Janice said, feeling a headache coming on
"I am not done! I also got a lot of other games on the store that I never play during its 'Summer Sale' and the fandom is all crazy about this man called 'Gabe'. It is like they worship him or something! Anyway, when I was there, Arkay told me that I can do whatever I like since he gave me this big pile of green paper called 'money'. It is definitely lighter to carry around than gold coins!" June continued.
"Shut up already…" Janice said as she holds her head.
Ignoring Janice's cries for her to stop, June continued, "I play this game where you go around collecting creatures called 'Pokémon', they have these powerful moves that does damage to the opponent's. It also have this legendary called 'Dialga' that controls Time, kind of like Akatosh! It was also fitting that it was a dragon too."
"Wait, 'Dialga'? A dragon that controls Time? Was it blue?" Janice asked.
"Yeah, but the one I got was aquamarine! They say it was special." June answered.
"Oh my goodness…" Janice said in realization.
"What?" June asked.
"Nothing, I need to talk to Akatosh later." Janice replied as she got up to meet the ambassador.
"Well, when you are doing that, I guess I am going to meet your children, Blasie and Sofie are their names, right?" June asked.
"How do you know of that? You weren't even aware that I had children a moment ago." Janice said in shock. "And please promise to behave yourself!"
"I read Derkeethus' mind before I came out, you really should have done it in my body." June replied.
"Just go, don't spook them too much, alright? They don't know about you yet." Janice said.
"As if anyone can be spooked by a five year old." June said as she materialises as a five year old Khajiit.
"You are still a ghost, you know that, right?" Janice said.
"Whatever, I will make sure they have fun!" June said as she floats off.
"Well, time to go…" Janice said as she left, Derkeethus already waiting at the council table.
[Children's playroom, 9 a.m.]
"Hey, what is that laughter?" Sofie asked Blasie, a little scared at the sudden giggles echoing through the walls.
Before Blasie could focus in on what is causing his sister discomfort, June came out from under the floor in front of them, startling Sofie into jumping into Blasie's arms and causing Blasie to raise his wooden sword up at the ghostly spectre. "Wh-Who are you?!" Blasie yelled defensively.
"I am your mother, well figuratively. Your mother was a stillborn and I was the soul that was supposed to inhibit the body. I died. Your mother's soul was given to her by the Divines. She saw fit to come and get me after twenty years of solitude. So, here I am. What games do you play?" June answered.
"Mother died?" Blasie asked carefully.
"She already died a second time when she became a vampire." June answered.
"She died twice?" Sofie asked. "How is she not like you?"
"Dying as a mortal and awakening as a vampire, I meant. Also, she died at childbirth, I was the soul that was suppose to be in that body, but I left it since the body died. She got a new soul." June answered the questions. "I believe this isn't the final time she would die, but we will see."
"That is creepy, you are creepy, how can we know that you won't hurt us?" Blasie questioned, hugging Sofie closer in a protective manner.
"Because, I am your friend, I am not going to hurt my children now, would I?" June said as she walked closer.
"Your children?! You look like you are five! You can't possibly look after children when you are this young! And back off! I know how to use this sword!" Blasie yelled as he readies his sword to stab the ghost.
"Please, I am more skilled than you are. And if you prefer, I could always turn into an adult." June said as she conjures a translucent glass sword and push the wooden sword down with it.
"I think having you look the same age as us is better…" Sofie said after a few tense moments.
"Don't give in to fear, Sofie! Back off now, ghost!" Blasie shouted bravely.
"My name is June. And I just want to play with the children my body has adopted." June said.
"Try anything funny and I will try to kill you." Blasie threatened after a few moments.
"Blasie! Sofie! What do you want to play today?" Alduin shouted as she flew into the playroom.
"Alduin!" The three children called out.
"June? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with, uh… Yourself?" Alduin asked as she landed.
"I came here to play, but they are to scared of me." June said to the dragoness.
"Of course they are, try turning into an adult, maybe they will feel better." Alduin suggested.
"So, what she say is true?" Blasie asked Alduin.
"Whatever she probably explained was true. Look, she is a splitting image of Janice, isn't she? Only a spirit that came from the same body can transform into the body's image with such detail." Alduin said as she pointed at a twenty year old Janice look-a-like.
"So… Mom? What can you do? I mean, is calling you 'mom' even correct?" Sofie asked.
"The one that adopted you and I are basically one and the same person, so yes, it is." June answered. "As for what I can do… A show would be more entertaining and enlightening."
Before Blasie could say anything, June roared, getting down on all fours as she transforms into her dragon form. She roared again, this time, the ground shook and disappeared, so does the walls and ceiling as well as anything that was in the room. She summoned four tables with a computer on each of them, each of the computers pre-loaded with many games.
"There, each of you pick a computer and let's play some Portal co-op!" June said as she transforms herself and Alduin into Khajiits.
"Ughh… Fur…" Alduin said in disgust. "And why must I look like Janice?!"
"What is all of this?" Blasie asked as he held up a mouse.
"Modern equipment, very complicated and completely out of our time." Alduin answered.
"Can you teach as how to use it?" Sofie asked.
"I can." June and Alduin said together.
"Wait, how do you know how to use it?" June asked Alduin.
"Well, one of the universes I was sent to requires me to use computers as a means to complete tasks, so I learn how to use a computer, even going so far as to learning how to code!" Alduin explained.
"Cool… Hey, can you port Skyrim into Minecraft?" June asked.
"Uhh… What? And how do I 'port' a province into a game?" Alduin asked.
"No, no, you got me wrong, I meant port the game 'The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim' into Minecraft." June explained as Sofie tries to figure out what a 'desktop' is.
"Skyrim's a game?" Alduin asked.
"Yeah, let me show you." June said as she fired up Skyrim on the computer Alduin was seated at.
"Let's start a new game." June said as she loads the game.
"Here, you see your character got captured by the Imperials and awaiting execution…" June commentated as the carriage moves along.
"Hey, that's Ulfric!" Alduin exclaimed as she swung the camera to the right.
"Right, and wait for it…" June said as she quickly fast forward the game using her powers.
Skipping the character creation, she stopped at where the character's head was about to roll. "Anddddddd… This is you!" June said as the game's Alduin landed on the tower.
"Strange… Are we living inside a videogame?" Alduin asked. "And this game has everything that happened during Janice's journey!" Alduin exclaimed in surprise as June entered a console command to reveal all quests.
"Quite the eye-opener, yeah? I was rather surprised too, but I guess it is just a coincidence that they created a game that accurately show what happened in our universe. Don't worry though, we definitely are not in a videogame. We aren't being controlled by some person seated in front of a computer." June said.
"Who is 'they'?" Alduin asked.
"The humans! The powerless humans. They don't have any powers, so they need what they can build to protect them. They have these long range weapons called a 'gun' that can fire multiple rounds in quick succession without needing a reload, unlike a crossbow. Those tiny metal bullets can do quite a lot of damage, or so I have been told." June answered.
"Never mind, let's just play some games." Alduin said. "Hey, you two! Come here! You better not have touched anything."
"Hehe, umm… Shit…" Blasie said.
"What did you do?" Alduin asked as she walked over.
"I don't know!" Blasie exclaimed.
"Great! You are formatting the computer!" Alduin exclaimed as the computer finished deleting everything on the hard drive and restarted itself.
"Help, I don't know what is going on!" Sofie shouted.
"And I can't believe you downloaded viruses!" Alduin said as Sofie's screen started to melt and a dialog opened and said it was sending all personal data to somewhere.
"What?! That thing said I won something, so I clicked on it!" Sofie said in defense.
"How do you two even know how to work a mouse?" Alduin asked softly.
"You don't know how fast kids can learn new things." June answered. "I will just replace their computers."
[Later, Imperial Palace children playroom]
"Hey, Your Highness! It is time for lunch!" A servant called out. "Your Highness?"
The playroom was devoid of children and all the toys were still left untouched when the servant came in. There was a note on the floor though.
"'If you are reading this, it must mean it is time for lunch. Don't worry, their Highness are well fed in the dimension they are now in. They are currently having fun and enjoying themselves. We will be back before dinner.'" The servant read the note out loud. "What is this?! Guards! The children might have been kidnapped! Alert Her Majesty!" The servant called out as she ran out of the room and into the hallway leading to the stairs.
[Elder Council Chambers]
"... And we would like to have increased taxes to anyone travelling to Morrowind from the Empire." The ambassador said as he ends his speech regarding Morrowind's venture in forming a merger with the Empire.
Before Janice could offer her side of the offer, the servant bursted into the chamber. "Your Majesty! Something happened to the children! They aren't in their room!" The servant announced.
"What?! Sorry about this, but I got to attend to this." Janice said as she got up. "We shall meet next time."
"Next time it is, the Council of Great Houses are keen to form a merger with the Empire after we heard about your crowning." The ambassador said.
[Children's playroom]
"They were supposed to be here, Your Majesty!" The servant said urgently.
"Calm down, I think I know what happened to them." Janice said. "June!"
As soon as Janice shouted June's name, she was transported into the micro dimension that they were in.
"Oh great! Her Majesty has disappeared! What do we do now?" The servant cried.
[June's fourth wall breaking dimension]
"Ha! Three sixty no scope, loser!" Blasie yelled as he played the fps game.
"Come on! Stop camping Blasie!" Alduin shouted.
"What the hell is going on here?!" Janice screamed.
"Oh, hello!" June greeted. "Take that!" June said soon after as she knifed Alduin in the game.
"I win!" Sofie screamed as the game was over.
"Would someone tell me what is happening?!" Janice shouted as she walked to where the cables lead. "What happens if I pull these important looking uhh… Ropes?"
"No! Don't do that!" June begged as she turned around on the chair.
"Then tell me what is going on! They are missing their lunch!" Janice shouted.
"Okay, we are just playing some computer games. After that, I want to show them what I like to eat in the human world." June explained.
"Whatever, just tell me, will they be safe?" Janice questioned.
"Of course they will be! Why would I harm my own 'children'?" June said.
"Alright, fine. I am going back now, send me back!" Janice said.
"Bye!" June said as she send Janice back to Nirn.
[Children's playroom]
"Your Majesty! What happened?" The servant yelled in surprise as Janice materialises. "Are the children safe? And who is this 'June'?"
"The children are safe. And it is about time I introduce the palace to my 'other self'." Janice replied as she walked out of the room.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" The servant asked.
"Call all the workers to the Throne Room and I will explain." Janice said.
[Later, Throne Room]
"We have a ghost running amok in the palace?! We should flush it out and exorcise it immediately!" A guard yelled, encouraging the people around him to start an uproar.
"Calm down! Let Her Majesty finish her story!" Cocceius yelled from beside Janice.
"Right, thank you Cocceius. As I was saying, the ghost is my past self. Some of you may know that I was a stillborn, especially the guards who were on duty a few days ago." Janice continued her speech. "That ghost was what was supposed to be me, but I replaced her when she died. I went to Riften to… retrieve her. So, in all sense, she is me and I am her. The next time you see something weird, just tell me, I will sort it out with her, alright? Dismiss."
"Are we going to be safe?" A servant asked.
"She don't really care about messing with other people other than the family, so yes, you all will be. Just ignore her if she tries to talk to you, alright?" Janice said.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The crowd said before dispersing.
"What was that about just now?" Derkeethus asked.
"Nothing, just June taking the kids somewhere to play 'computer games'." Janice said.
"I see… Well, what do you want to do now?" Derkeethus asked.
"Have lunch! I am hungry." Janice replied.
"Me too." Derkeethus said.
[After lunch]
"So, you don't have anything else to do this afternoon?" Janice asked Derkeethus.
"Yes, how come I have a feeling you want to drag me somewhere where I will be scared out of my wits and you will be killing things while ridiculing me again?" Derkeethus answered.
"Well, if your self esteem is that low, then I guess I will let you be the hero for once. There is a bandit camp near Kvatch that needs to be dealt with, think you can handle that yourself?" Janice told Derkeethus.
"Just bandits? I think I can do that." Derkeethus answered.
"I wouldn't know, after all, Ralof surprised me that he had dragons with him. Who knows what these bandits will have?" Janice said as they walked outside.
"Well, I hope that it only is bandits." Derkeethus said as Janice transforms.
"Going somewhere, Your Majesty? Do you need assistance?" A guard asked.
"That would not be necessary, we will be back before dinner time. We will be near Kvatch if anyone is looking for us." Janice replied as Derkeethus got on.
"Safe journey, Your Majesty." The guard said as Janice took off, bracing himself against the wall against the winds Janice kicked up.
[Kvatch 2 p.m.]
"You fly fast." Derkeethus commented as he got off. "Where is the camp?"
"Behind you. Now, I will be flying overhead if you need assistance. Shout my name, my other name, I mean, if you need help." Janice instructed.
"And that is?" Derkeethus asked. "You went by so many names that I lost track."
"Haas-sot-kul." Janice answered.
"And how can I do that when I can't shout like you do?" Derkeethus asked.
"It is just a name, you don't need understanding to use it. Now go and be the hero you always wanted to be." Janice said before taking off.
"Are you sure you will be okay?" A voice said from the bushes.
"What? Who's there?" Derkeethus asked. "Jane? Is that you?"
"No, I am J'Zhar, you dimwit! How can you not tell the difference between a man's voice and a woman's?" J'Zhar said as he come out wearing a set of ebony armour.
"Isn't the ebony helmet tight fitting for someone with a snout?" Derkeethus asked as he calmed down.
"How did your father fit in one then?" J'Zhar retorted.
"Oh, nevermind then. How did you get here?" Derkeethus asked.
"I saw Janice flying out of the city with you, so I thought I would follow." J'Zhar answered.
"What did Jane say?" Derkeethus asked as he walk towards the camp with J'Zhar.
"She told me to go and try not to get killed…" J'Zhar answered.
"Huh, same here. Anyway, Janice is flying overhead, so I guess we should be fine if things get messy." Derkeethus said as he equipped his bow and arrows.
"Yeah, real assuring." J'Zhar replied. "Can't wait for us to fail immediately and let her come down and flatten the camp in one strike."
"Just keep saying that to yourself, I am determined to not need her help." Derkeethus said as he aimed his bow at the back of a bandit's head, not that he has to.
"Hey! We got intruders!" A bandit called out when he heard the bandit Derkeethus has hit fall over dead.
"Oh, what is this? The Emperor has graced us with his presence!" A bandit yelled as he dodged an arrow. "Hey! Why is 'Your Majesty' doing the legion's work?"
"Shut up! You will die today!" J'Zhar yelled as he charged forward with his sword and shield.
"Aww… Did the kitty cat have a fur ball stuck in his throat?" A bandit taunted as he block the blow from J'Zhar.
"It is 'Your Highness' to you!" J'Zhar yelled as he cuts off the bandit's head while he was laughing at the attempted strike.
"What is going on here?" The bandit leader asked as he got out from his quarters.
"The Emperor and his servant is attacking the camp, sir! They look to be alone, though." A bandit replied.
"The Emperor? Hah! That weak lizard can't even hurt a fly. Take them alive, I am sure Her Majesty would pay a good ransom." The bandit leader ordered.
"I don't pay ransoms!" Janice roared from the skies. "You will die if you try to even lay a finger on them!"
"What was that?! Her Majesty can hear us? Shit…" The bandit leader exclaimed in shock.
"Yeah! Take that!" J'Zhar yelled as he carelessly fought the bandits.
"Don't get too cocky!" Derkeethus yelled as he shot another arrow.
"What? I ca-" J'Zhar tried to reply, but was knocked unconscious by a blow to the head with a mace.
"J'Zhar! That's it, HAAS-SOT-KUL!" Derkeethus screamed to the skies to request assistance.
Fighting his way to J'Zhar's body quickly before Janice came down, Derkeethus sliced the arms of the bandit trying to drag J'Zhar away and quickly ran outside the camp. A jet of hot flames immediately engulfing the entire camp, burning most of the bandits alive.
"J'Zhar! J'Zhar! Wake up!" Derkeethus yelled as he yanked the helmet off.
Meanwhile, Janice transformed in mid air and landed on the smoldering ground inside the camp. Those bandits who were lucky to have survived now rush at her. Grabbing Silencer from her inventory, she whipped it around herself in a sweeping motion, slicing up all the bandits close to her.
"Looks like I really have to do everything myself…" Janice said as she whipped the giant two handed greatsword around her, carving deep, fatal wounds into the bodies of the lightly armoured bandits. "Do you really think you have a chance against me?!"
"Ah! The Empress! So good for you to join us, what do you want, hmm? An arrow to the head for a starter, perhaps?" The bandit leader said as he drew his bow, aiming directly at Janice.
"Not a chance." Janice said as she grabbed a bandit and place her in the line of fire. Just in time for the leader to let go of the arrow.
"Then, how about a dismembered limb?" The bandit leader asked as he rush down the stairs towards Janice.
"Well, I prefer the head of a bandit leader who is telling me what he is going to do next on a plate." Janice said as she threw the body of the bandit at the leader.
"Janice! Lookout!" Derkeethus yelled as he saw a bandit behind Janice ready to strike.
"Oh, hello there, slowpoke." Janice said as she turned around quickly and grab the bandit by the arms.
Flipping over, Janice threw the bandit onto the recovering leader. Not waiting for the leader to get up, Janice grabbed her great sword and drove it through the stack of three humans, the hilt just barely sticking out the top of the pile.
Making sure the bandits are dead, Janice pull out the sword from the pile and wiped it on the grass. With one last look around to make sure she didn't miss anything, Janice used her Firestorm spell to blow apart the camp, making sure it serves as a warning to future bandits.
"Tell me why is my father here?" Janice questioned Derkeethus. "Tell me or you are going back to the city as a snail!"
"Calm down! He came by himself, he wanted to help, but he got cocky and ended up unconscious." Derkeethus answered as he tries to make sure J'Zhar is still breathing.
"Oh… Sorry, come on, I will try a healing spell." Janice said as she begin healing J'Zhar.
"Huh, his breathing improved, but he is still unconscious." Janice commented. "I think he may be under a coma."
"A coma? Oh no, that isn't good, is it?" Derkeethus asked.
"Of course it isn't, but we can't do anything about it, so let's go home." Janice said as she transforms.
[Dinner]
"So that's what happened to him." Jane said as she sipped her stew.
"Yeah, I guess he is too old for combat if he react this slowly." Janice said.
"Hey! I think I can use his body for the time being!" June said from where she seated, on top of Janice's chair.
"After what you did to my body? No, I won't allow it." Derkeethus said.
"But he can't used his body!" June argued.
"Using your father's body? You know how sick that sounds?" Beehaz said to June.
"She's right, you shouldn't anyhow possess peo-" Janice started to say before June entered her.
"Ah… So good to be in MY body." 'Janice' said as she looked at herself.
"Oh come on now, what was that suppose to be?" Janice said as she materialises beside the Khajiit body as a white translucent spirit.
"How did you do that?" Derkeethus asked, rather spooked that Janice could manifest herself as a spirit.
"I studied some tomes I found in the College of Winterhold's library." Janice answered. "Give me back MY body!" Janice started to argue with June.
"But this was MINE!" June yelled as her spirit wavers in and out of the body from Janice's spells.
"You died!" Janice screamed as she forced June out.
"But if it wasn't for me, you won't be here!" June counter argued as she forced Janice out.
"Stop this at once or the body will die, again!" Jane shouted.
"Get out!" Janice screamed, pushing June out, but not getting in like she supposed to.
"Oh no…" Janice said as the body slumped over, dead, again.
"Great! You killed yourself." June said.
"Janice? Janice! Why?" Derkeethus cried over the body.
"I am still here, you know…" Janice tapped Derkeethus on the shoulder. "Now what do we do?"
"I guess it is time to bury you like we are supposed to." Jane said.
"No! There has to be a way." Janice said.
"You could try going back in, you have only been dead for a minute, maybe it will still work." Jane answered.
"Okay, okay. Let's go." Janice said as she insert herself back in.
"Hugggghhhh!" Janice breathed in deeply as she sat up. "I guess it worked." She panted.
"Aww… I guess I have to find my own body." June said. "For the record, you died three times already!"
"You don't have to remind me…" Janice said.
"Janice? I am am glad you are fine!" Derkeethus cried.
"Why are you acting like I died for real? I was there beside you." Janice said as she folded her arms.
"Really? I didn't know." Derkeethus replied.
"Whatever, just don't go possessing people who are still alive, June." Janice told the spirit.
"Fine…" June groaned.
"Off to bed then, I am tired from having died again…" Janice said as she stretched herself before heading off.
A/N: Okay… This chapter turned out weird, but at least it should settle whether June has seen the real world or not. Don't worry, June's references to the real world will not be this drastic and direct in the future.
