(Wall of text Incoming!) The massive Dwemer colossus did not seem to be a creature they could defeat and with this new time constraint they had no more choice, as the Archive shook and leaks sprung from the various pipes that made up this city, they had no more choice but to run, through the control room and the reading room they ran until emerging at the entrance to the ruins.

A Dragon ambushed them, introducing itself as Krosulhah, it stated that Miraak demands their death but Alyssa Lariat, the Dragonborn was far more powerful than the Dragon anticipated and almost single-handedly she destroyed it, three words it took. Joor, Zah and Frul. Combining the words she shot the dragon out of the sky as it flew over the ocean, where it fell into the ocean and subsequently drowned, the proof of this deed was the new soul that filled Alyssa.

They returned to the village to find all the Skaal villagers released, but that was not all, every stone across Solstheim was the same, even the one at Raven rock had been cleansed despite Alyssa never having gone there and all other notable mages having been preoccupied. Only one task remained, they borrowed the Greathall for the reading and Liannistra placed the book down on the ground, Alyssa stood over it and gently opened the book as the tentacles took her and enveloped her body and neck as she became transparent to the eye.

Liannistra waited patiently and Neloth went back home as his presence would no longer be necesarry. What happened within Apocrypha only Alyssa and Hermaeus Mora knows but after the slow hours of Alyssa's reading she emerged from the book once more, she mentioned that Hermaeus Mora taught her another word of Bend Will and that she required Skorm Snow-strider to reveal his knowledge to the Daedra, else Miraak would never be defeated.

Skorm had no choice but to comply he took the book but in a twist of fate, Hermaeus Mora emerged from the book, he held Skorm by the throat, he told Alyssa the final word of Bend Will «Dov» and armed with the word she was ready. Hermaeus killed the old Shaman and vanished back into his realm, the Skaal gathered and said their goodbyes as they saw their shaman on the ground. Alyssa joined in a short funeral, when she prepared to enter Apocrypha the cloaked Nemer appeared from the wild they exchanged words and the Nemer handed her a book. While Liannistra tried to converse with the fellow Nemer, he did not respond as he watched Alyssa intently, his face obscured by the hood that laid upon his head.

Emerging at Apocrypha, Alyssa began walking, through the winding tunnels and by the black liquid of tentacles she slashed her way through Seekers and Lurkers alike, until eventually she stood face to face with Sahrootar, but like all dragons, he was no match for Alyssa and his will was overtaken by Alyssa's voice. Like with Odahviing before him, the dragon carried her through the realm until finally, they reached the Summit of Apocrypha under the gaze of Hermaeus Mora where Miraak stood in waiting along with two other dragons. Sahrootar landed and Alyssa dismounted it.

They stood face to face and their battle began, both were masters of shouts and their powers collided. Although Miraak's voice was clearly superiour, Alyssa's blade was what earned her the upper hand and she brought the First Dragonborn to his knees multiple times, each time he would absorb the soul of one of the three Dragons and stand up again. But in the end Alyssa was victorious, as both fell to the ground, Alyssa only slightly after Miraak, but as far as Hermaeus Mora was concerned it was good enough and Miraak was the one to be destroyed. The souls of Miraak sprung from his body and filled Alyssa until she was brimming with power, her eyes glowed faintly as she attained new power. The clothes that Miraak wore changed shape to a smaller size and they clad Alyssa in themselves only leaving the mask off as it laid down in her hands. Hermaeus now sent her back to the Skaal village. «It is done.» Alyssa said as she laid down in the snow, she breathed heavily and stood back up, she walked to the middle of the Village and raised her sword Skyward, it flared up and the Skaal cheered. Lia laughed, she always knew that Alyssa would stand victorious at the end. She always did. The cloaked Nemer however, simply gathered up all the Black books and with a twist of his hand he vanished. Lia watched but paid it little mind, after all, Nemer had many mysterious spells other than the Sigil Magic they discovered so long ago.

(This marks the end of the Persisitence Canon Prelude :p,

we are way too few people to stand a chance against the Cabal member I had planned to use for the encounter.)
