The Owl, K'aille, had had quite a life. 60 years of fighting off Villains and putting them in Volkihar were finally winding down. His last mission had come two years ago, when he went down to Southern Morrowind and ended the Argonian coup when he brought down the Warlord. He had recieved some criticism, as Warlord died in the fight. However, this death was caused by brutes own stupidity. Flung himself off a cliff while he tried to kill the old Redguard. It would have been funny, had the Warlord not slaughtered so many innocents up until that moment.

And despite what the Hero Guild declared on killing, he was glad that that animal was buried at the bottom of the ocean somewhere.

Now, he was carrying out his final mission: One last trainee to take in. It was odd that he had gotten a specific request to take in this new hero, Diadros Peritus. Perhaps this child had been a fan of The Owl from an early age?

Whatever the case, he saw the cart pulling up now. It came to a stop just in front of him, and an argonian hopped out of the back. There was another person in the cart, but he couldn't tell who it was. It seemed like the child...

"You are the Owl himself, yes?" The Argonian asked.

"The one and only," The Redguard chuckled. "Who am I addressing?"

"Call me Ukaha," The Argonian said. "I appreciate you coming out to do this. Not many would take a personal request for a trainer."

"Eh... I'm too old for people to want to train with me, so my slate is pretty clean right now," Owl said. "Which raises the question of why that kid's asking for me specifically."

Ukaha glanced back at him. "Look... before I go on, I need you to keep a secret for me. Can you do that?"

"Depends," K'aille said. "What secret?"

"Well... I couldn't get him into the league under his real name," Ukaha said. "The Khan family name has been quite tarnished."

"Khan..." Owl reflect on the name before realizing. "He's-"

"You brought down his father, yes," Ukaha nodded.

Owl's look suddenly darkened. "Are you one of the Warlord's men?"

"A friend before he went mad," Ukaha explained. "Diadros came to me when he got news that his father had died in battle."

Owl glanced at the kid and back to Ukaha. "Go on...."

"Look, he's started down a dark path. A path that would have seen him in a similar position as his father was. My family has known the Khans for a long time, and I want the villainy and the murder to stop here and now. That's why I asked for you. He's stronger than he'll ever know and a genius with machines, but he needs direction. I needed someone who had seen everything and has enough experience to guide him down that path... And you fit the bill,"

Owl lighted up a bit as he considered. It was clear that the boy did need direction, but this was a bold move. To accept the child of a villain into the Guild was unheard of. That was another policy that he didn't understand. There were many policies he didn't understand.

"Okay... I'll do it. Let me be clear, that if he's too far lost in his fathers mindset, I won't have him around for long."

"Thank you!" Ukaha said. "Oh, and uh..." He ran around back and fetched a bag out of the back of the cart.

"Here,"

"What's that?" Owl asked.

"His weapon."

(I know this is kinda poorly written, I just needed to get it down xD)
