Alison slowly felt around her pockets for her pad and pencil and quickly began to scrawl with it, figuring that she should 'say' something. She spent some time on it and at first, it seemed more like a diary entry, due to the amount of time it took her to write it, than something that she was about to say but eventually she slowly nudged it into Natalie's hand.

''"I attacked Xerxes, the first time I met him...

I was desperate for money, hadn't eaten in days... I was so desperate for food or coin that I figured that I'd have to rob someone to get it. I didn't want to hurt anyone but I wasn't afraid of doing it anymore...

I saw Xerxes, like you did and I still thought that it was a good idea to attack. I could barely stand and I threw a familiar at him, which he instantly trumped with a Dremora, that cut it in half.

I conjured an axe and attacked him head on and he was able to beat me, by nudging me as I got closer. I don't even remember falling, maybe I blacked out... But I woke up with him, staring down on me, like he was checking to see if I was still alive and being killed on the side of the road was the least of my concerns. I thought that he was going to drag me off to some cave or something, I dunno, I've never seen anything like him before.

I just closed my eyes and went completely limp, just waiting for him to kill me. I just wanted him to drive an axe into my head or something, so that I wouldn't suffer anymore...

It took me a while to notice but he was just... Staring at me and as soon as I opened my eyes, he started talking to me. I couldn't talk back, so I thought that I was done for but then he read my thoughts...

He said that I was 'good,' that I had potential and that I could be better at conjuring things if I went with him. At the time? All that I could think was that I wanted a hot meal... He gave me food, shelter, taught me to cast all kinds of spells and...

Well, he allowed me to be something... Gave me a chance that few others have, like he was... I don't know, he was just... He was more than my friend, he saved me, protected me and when it came to it...

I wasn't there for him..."''
