(Alright, let's end this. Been waiting to do this pie for a while.)

Dala had a sinister look about her. With her hold in his collar, she pulled herself up towards him (since he is taller than her), impaling herself in his sword as she did so. However she didn't scream neither showed any reaction from the injury. When she was almost level with his face she planted a kiss on Destro's cheek. "This was fun. It is a shame that I won't get to torture you." She whispered next to his ear.

Within a few seconds her grip on his collar loosed and she laid her head on his shoulder. Bloody lips stained Destro's cheek.

The son of the Mad God was not Bolyn's target, neither did he care enough to go after him.

The Dunmer had slowly been making his way out of the blizzard. The spinning flaming cloak around him had negated, for the most part, the effects of the Imperial's frosty spell. When he exited the blizzard, he spotted Nibasa in front of him.

The Khajiit sent a rock towards the Dunmer.

Bolyn merely sidestepped to avoid the rock. Within a few moments the flames around him were extinguished. "I am 134 years old, cat. I have fought more enemies than you can count. It doesn't take long for me to learn the fighting style of my foe." He grinned.

Nibasa sent two rocks at him.

Bolyn slashed one in half with Goldbrand and avoided the other. All the while walking closer to the Khajiit.

The daughter of Nirni began to panic. All they had thrown at the Dunmer he just seemed to push right past it. She sent dozens of little rocks at him in her desperation.

Bolyn covered his face with his arms and kept moving forward. When the barrage stopped he was right in front of her. "Now I will finish what Hlodala started." He grabbed Goldbrand with both hands and swung at Nibasa, his blade inches from her neck. He saw something fly up in between himself and Nibasa and felt a sharp pain on his right arm. What he saw next was his right hand fall into the ground. He stood there in shock.

"We didn't have our rematch, you elf bastard!" Kyrnil yelled. He cut off Bolyn's right hand with Wuuthrad before the Dunmer could kill Nibasa.

Seeing the battleaxe injure the Dunmer snapped her out of her panic. Nibasa summoned two pillars of rock out of the ground and hit Bolyn, sending him back and to the ground.

Bolyn didn't yell, he was still in shock. "How...?" He was still holding Goldbrand with his left hand.

Kyrnil didn't let him finish his question, he hacked at the Dunmer with Wuuthrad. The axe cut through the Dunmer as easily as cutting through air, and the lead Dunmer's body disappeared. "Bastard! Come here and fight like a man!"

Suddenly, Ysabel collapsed from exhaustion. The vortex around the soul dissipated.

Kyrnil ran over to his half-sister. "Ysabel, are you alright?" He asked as he held her. She was unconscious, but he could tell that she was alive. For a moment he had been worried that the Dunmer had gotten to her.

Seeing that the soul was now exposed, Kate told Cain with her charm. "Stay put."

"Where is the elf?" Nibasa asked aloud. She looked around nervously for Bolyn. She felt a hand on her shoulder and spun around, nearly throwing a rock into the person behind her. She only stopped because she recognized who it was.

Before Nibasa was a Khajiit woman, it was hard to tell her age, as her fur was a mixture of different colors. Parts of her fur were was green as trees, others as blue as rivers, some was as tan as the desert, there were even patches as brown as dirk. All around the colorful Khajiit, a faint golden glow the same as that of the soul was emitted. "Child, it is over...for now. This one is thankful that you are safe. She had feared that you'd turn up dead like your older brother and other siblings."

"Mother." Nibasa muttered. She had only seen Nirni in statues and in her dreams, never in person.

Nirni placed a hand under her chin. "You did well, you protected the soul. As all your siblings have in the past."

"What do you mean? Khajiit doesn't understand." Her daughter asked.

The goddess's face turned grim. "This was not the first time that Half-Gods have come this far to claim Nirni's soul. It most certainly won't be the last." Nirni looked up at her large soul in the middle of the chamber. "As long as that is there, Khajiit's children will be in eternal danger." She teared up and her tone became bluer, sadder. "This one has lost count of how many times she's watched her children die in front of her eyes. Nirni just cannot bare it."

Nibasa could feel the sadness in her heart. "Mother..."

Nirni hugged Nibasa. "Nibasa. Maybe it is time that the danger to this one's children and to Nirn is over."

"...Khajiit doesn't understand." She muttered.

"Nirni's soul must be claimed. It is the only way to keep you safe." The goddess replied. "Please, this is Khajiit's final request. Do this for Nirni. Please. End the endless cycle that has been going on since the start of this New Era. This one is bound to Mundus, and you are her child. If you claim the soul, then the planet will be safe."

Nibasa hugged her mother tighter. "This one can't. If the soul is claimed, you will become a dead god. No longer able to manifest yourself on Nirn. Nibasa will be the last of your children...She can't do this to you."

"That is a price Nirni is willing to pay for your safety. She doesn't want to watch any more of her children die trying to protect her soul." The mother replied. She pulled back from the hug and spun Nibasa around, to face the golden soul. "Please."

Kyrnil and the others just watched the exchange between the Goddess and her daughter. The Nord thought about claiming the soul himself, but he was holding Ysabel. He wasn't going to leave her on the dirt just to claim the soul.

Nibasa hesitated, but when her mother placed her hands on her shoulder, she walked towards the soul. She reached out towards it with her right hand and when she touched it with the tips of her fingers, the huge golden globe began to get sucked into her hand. Her fingers began glowing, then her arm, then the rest of her body. As the soul was sucked into her body, the body of Nirni began to disappear.

"Nibasa." Nirni said as her body began to disappear. "Know that while Nirni will no longer be able to manifest herself. She will always be with you. This one loves you with all her heart."

The last of Nirni's soul went into Nibasa, the Goddess disappeared...forever.
