"I took it's soul, that much is true. But I don't know why it lost it's hide and scales." Alyssa said as they entered the cavern. It was apparent that the forsworn had been using the cave as well, but whatever forsworn had been living here had been lured out during the previous battle and killed.

Esbern took the lead as they walked through the cavern until they appeared at the first puzzle. Three pillars. He said nothing and turned the pillars until they all showed the same symbol and the first brdige fell. Alyssa walked up next to him. "How do you know the puzzle?" she asked. Esbern looked at her "This symbol, is the Akaviri symbol for Dragonborn." he replied then headed over the bridge, into the next room. where the floor was filled by pressure plates. "Ah, these puzzzles appear to be made so only the Akavir would know how to solve them. I'm guessing the wrong pressure plate will fill the room with fire." he said.

Alyssa looked at the marks and stepped onto the plate with the Dragonborn mark. "So all I need to do is this." she then walked upon the plates with the Dragonborn mark. And pulled the chain at the end, disabling the trap. And cauing the two next bridges to fall.

Esbern crossed into the next room to the blood seal and the large head blocking the way.

"Wonderful! Remarkably well-preserved, too. Ah...here's the "blood seal." Another of the lost Akiviri arts. No doubt triggered by...well, blood. Your blood, Dragonborn." Esbern said as he walked to the blood seal and knelt to inspect it.

Delphine turned to Alyssa "Esbern's probably right. Try using your blood on the carved seal on the floor." then looked to Esbern as he moved through the room.

He looked at all the various symbols along the walls "Look here! You see how the ancient Blades revered Reman Cyrodiil. This whole place appears to be a shrine to Reman. He ended the Akiviri invasion under mysterious circumstances, you recall. After the so-called "battle" of Pale Pass, the Akiviri went into his service. This was the foundation stone of the Second Empire."

Alyssa moved to the Blood seal, "Can't say I've ever cut myself on purpose." She drew her katana, hesitantly she knelt before cutting her hand and letting the blood drip onto the seal as it lit up and began turning.
