"My, you catch on quickly, don't you?" said Montinette. "I told you that you were way in over your heads on this case. My forefather punished the Order for their insubordination and corruption by leaving them with the incomplete Elixir of Life and took with him the formula for the completed one. It gave them immortality alright, but in this case the line between immortality and invulnerability gets a little blurry. He gave them the eternal life they wanted, but the reagents he had added on his own resulted in abominations."

He stroke two fingertips against his forehead. "They are not human anymore. They are... things... Monsters... Monsters that have been alive since the beginning of the Third Era; unable to live... unable to die. Imagine: they have become malformed and twisted, struggling to just live one more day, yet they cannot die. That's not true immortality. True immortality is having the opportunity to end your eternity out of your own free will. So they have suffered alright. Suffered for centuries, and with those centuries comes ages upon ages of hatred and malice against my forefather and his accomplices. They have learned little of their past mistakes. They are now striving to finish the Great Work themselves and rid themselves of this curse, once and for all."

He sighed. "The reopening of the Crimson Academy was a mistake. Not only did they open the place where all these troubles began, but they also managed to find out where my forefathers' accomplices, those who drank the true Elixir of Life, lived. As well as where I lived, his now only living descendant..."

He glared at them. "And now that you have interfered, they will be coming for you as well. You better run and hide wherever you can. The Crimson Order cannot be stopped. No swords can harm them... no spells... no poisons... not age... They are in two words true monsters..."

The guards of Leyawiin lit their lanterns and headed out from the city, moving towards the dark Blackwood.

Once back at the inn Astien and Anhjari were met by the smirk of the Altmer innkeep. "Did you find yourself the house of your dreams?" she giggled.
