(I assume it took some time to reach the camp)

Veldyn's eyes slowly slid open. He gazed up at the ceiling, hearing Fassilion hum to himself on the other side of the room. Veldyn sat up in bed.

"Finally awake, are we?" Fassilion glanced over at Veldyn.

"Why do I still feel tired? I just slept." Veldyn got out of bed and started putting his armor back on.

"You've been struggling against that ring since you put it on. It's putting stress on your mind. If you stop fighting it you'll get better rest."

"I can't."

"This is exactly how the others died, you know. Trying to make a stand or prove a point by resisting. You've seen how this ends. You've seen the bodies. Why don't you just give up?"

"I can't give up even if it's hopeless."

"Though it may be an improvement, I don't want to replace you just yet. Do try to stay alive longer than the last one."

"Is that an order?"

"If it were you wouldn't be questioning it. I booked passage to Davon's watch for us. It's a similarly sized settlement. Hopefully they have more room."

"By 'booked passage' you mean you compelled someone." "Just the captain of a fishing boat. The travel will be good for catching more fish. I'm doing him a favor, really. We can't stay anyway. The gate guard has certainly reported his experience. I can't control everyone and erasing memories would lead to more suspicion. We're leaving now."

Veldyn followed Fassilion to the docks. The boat was rather small and smelled like fish.

"Is the boat ready?" Fassilion questioned the captain.

"Yes, Sera."

"Did you make him call you that? I can't imagine anyone respecting a monster like you enough for that."

"Don't speak again for the duration of this trip." Fasillion glared daggers at the Dunmer. Veldyn had no choice but to be silent. "Now, let's get going. I plan to survive this apocalypse." The crew of the ship got to work and the little fishing boat left the docks of Andothren.
