Konahrik, along with her bodyguards, Hevnoraak and Rahgot, walked the frozen sanctuary of the ancient snow elves. The warlord knew where she needed to go, and her bodyguards faithfully followed her.

The warlord stopped on what looked like a ritual circle surrounded by runes. It looked like Daedric. The two bodyguards were unsure of what Konahrik was going through, but they declined questioning her.

The warlord pulled out an iron dagger and slit her hand a little to offer a small amount of blood on the circle. The circle then took the blood on it's own and began to enter a crimson tone.

The circle reacts and began to work it's magic. It eventually formed a person whom seemed to have shackles around his arms and legs, but wasn't chained to anywhere else.

"...You went through a lot to put me into this... sorry excuse realm... Tell me, mortal. Give me a good reason as to why I shouldn't just kill you where you stand.." The man told Konahrik.

"Because you and I know that if we fought one another, we can simply battle for an eternity. No winners, nor losers." The Warlord replied.

"Then why are you here? What do you want?"

"I am here to place an investment. We have common goals in mind, and I fear that mine will not hatch in this time.

All I ask is that you fulfill your agreement, and I will ensure that you will recieve a very large and equal return.

I trust that you know what I am talking about, judging by your current expression."

The man smiled a little.

"You surprise me, Konahrik. This offer of yours is definitely weighted in both of our favors.

...Very well. The conditions are very acceptable. You may proceed." He finished.

"As Konahrik, I give you my word. I will fulfull my agreement in this life and in the next. By my blood, I will see it through. In prosperity and poverty, and in joy and hardship.

As the divines as my witness, I will follow this blood oath through death and beyond. I will let those above judge me, and those below take me, if I fail in my duty."

"...Very well. I will fulfill the end of my bargain as well, so long as you and your little cult keeps theirs.

Now... begone. Leave me in peace..."

The man then dissipated into nothingness and the circle went back to it's original state, ancient and weathered.

"What was that all about, boss?" Rahgot asked.

Konahrik smirked under her mask.

"Just paying a small debt to an old friend."

"Oh?"

"It is a double-edged deal."

"How so?"

"Because if I lose, I will have a debt that will be impossible to pay."

"What's the cost exactly? If you lose?

"...My soul."
