(Wee! Important development stuff! Hopefully... :P)

"I refuse to die to such a madwoman..." Kay whispered, more to reassure herself than her Breton friend.

-

Without warning, Nissa dashed forwards and stabbed her katana forwards. There was this otherworldly haze about her as she moved, making her appear to be faster than she was.

As ever, Kay was quick off the mark and jumped to the side to avoid the stab. She backed off, not going far before she was blocked by the people crowding around them to watch the fight.

The Imperial raised her sword, letting the ice fall off the blade and pool into the floor.

"Ice...huh?" Nissa shrugged. "Like I care."

With another smirk, the Dunmer charged Kay and slashed upwards. Kay spun and collided with Nissas sword. The two glared at each other, Kays full of fear and Nissas full of angry joy.

"I'm so, so sorry Nissy. But it is better I tell you now, rather than have it tear us apart later." Nissa said in a low growl.

Kays eyes widened at that and she winced, her memories flashing back at the worst of times. ''"Well." Dylan shrugged. "I never loved you. Sorry kid, but Nissa is my life."''

''"F-fine!" Kay mumbled. "If that's how you feel, then you're just as insane as she is! You make a great pair! Go fuck off back to her!"''

''"K..." Dylan sighed, knowing this wasn't going along with how he'd planned it in his head. "You're still young. You can find someone else..."''

''"I don't want anyone else..." Kay whispered darkly. She turned away from Dylan, gritting her teeth and blinking furiously.''

''"Well..." Dylan said again. "G'bye K."''

Kays eyes stung with the reminiscence and she flung herself into her sword, hoping to press whatever small advantage over Nissa she had.

''"Please, forgive me Nissa..." ''The Dunmer whispered again, yet still loud enough for people to hear her every word.

"Sh-shut up!" Kay yelled, breaking away and delivering a sloppy slash that was easily deflected by the Dunmers blade. Nissa stood upright and scowled at Kay. She raised her katana to eye-level and crouched before launching herself and hitting Kay in the gut.

Kay stumbled backwards, the vast majority of the stab being deflected by the shield Dacian had put around her. However, she could already feel its power waning significantly even from that single hit.

''She isn't even like a normal Mer anymore! ''Kay thought in a panic, realising how bad her situation was. She fell back again, clambering up onto the table where Nissa swiftly joined her. The Dunmer smirked, clearly aware that she has the upper hand, despite Kays advantages. She confidently rested her sword on her shoulder.

"You have the letter don't you?" Nissa queried, raising a hand to halt any protests. "Don't bother trying to lie. He can just tell when you are."

Kay closed her eyes and exhaled sharply through her nose. "Yes, I found his letter to you..."

"Then, you know what it contains." Nissa shrugged, stepping closer. "If you'd rather it kept a secret, get on your knees and give up!"

"I will not degrade myself in such a fashion!" Kay retorted. She did the running forwards this time, dragging her sword along the table before putting her weight into a powerful upwards swing at...

The air...

"Even if you forgave me for sleeping with her Nissy, I will understand if you loathe me for eternity for what else we have done..." Came Nissas augmented whisper from behind the Imperial.

Kay swiftly spun and lashed out, her blade clashing with Nissas again over several swings, stabs and jabs.

While it was evident that Kay was tiring, it seemed like Nissa was barely breaking a sweat.

"What...are you?" Kay panted, her eyes being stung with perspiration.

Nissa grinned again, sticking her katana in the table and placing her hands behind her back.

"I am simply myself, Karin. No more, no less. And I want nothing more that to be free."

"Free...?" Kay whispered. "What from?"

"From him!" Nissa snapped, turning to face the Imperial properly.

"There must be something we can work out, surely?" Kay pleaded.

Nissa shook her head. "No, not really." She shrugged, flinging her arms out in front of her and blasting Kay with a powerful shock spell that lasted for several agonising moments.

The shield held out for a long time, until finally, Kay felt it shatter. The lightning coursed through her limbs and she screamed out in agony, falling to her knees with a sharp thud.

"Nissy, I'm...I..."

"Please..." Kay begged, tears filling her eyes. "Don't say it...Don't do it..."

Nissa cut off the lightning and winked. She stepped forwards once, looking down on the pitiful, smoking form of Kay. The Imperials sword trembled in her hands and she slowly, yet shakily rose to her feet.

"I am going to-"

"DON'T!" Kay shouted, dashing towards the unarmed Dunmer, and swinging angrily for her neck.

Nissas eyes widened and her grin grew larger as she hopped back and pulled her sword out from the table. She spun, using her momentum to carry her to the rushing Imperial and laughed when she felt the blade cut through flesh and bone and saw something fly off into the middle of the Inn...

Kay screamed even louder, large pain filled tears finally pouring out of her eyes as she collapsed onto her stomach, clutching at the space where her left arm used to be. She writhed and shook and growled and yelled some more, before managing to find the will to glare angrily into Nissas eyes.

Nissa revelled in Kays pain. She crouched in front of the Imperial, opening her mouth and raising her voice to speak.

"I am going to be a father, Nissy. She told me this afternoon..."

Kay curled up and rocked back and to, sobbing uncontrollably. "L-leave..." She choked out. "Leave Jessica out of this..."

"Ah, ah, ah." Nissa tutted, grabbing Kays chin and raising her head to emphasise her point. "I believe our arrangement was I'd destroy everything you ever loved correct? Well, what your stupid Corpse Fiddler doesn't understand, is that you could never love him right? I would make you admit it, but I can see it plain on your face." She smiled, looking right at Dacian now.

"The only things you ever loved were Dylan and your daughter..."

Kay sniffed and gasped, struggling to breathe through her wounds. She felt her head hit the table before everything started to spin.

"Safe to say that I win!" Nissa cheered, her voice only an echo in Kays head. The Dark Elf bowed and pointed her sword out behind her, ready to teleport.

"Forget the Cannibals and the drink Morgan! Find me when you get the chance!" Nissa uttered, before waving and stepping through her portal.

"Ta-ta!" She beamed, just as it closed.
