~Three-ish months from now~

A ship rolled into a dingy looking harbour. Fog rolled along the rivers top and muggy ground. Even now, late in the evening, bugs were chirping and the humidity was high.

A lone passenger stepped off, head hung low, expression haunted. She glanced back and nodded her thanks to the Keshik women who had stuck with her all this way, and bade them a silent farewell as she turned back, to stare over the swamps, a heavy sigh escaping the thin, grim line that was her mouth.

"Home sweet home..." Nissa mumbled, sadly.

She glanced around, the familiar Mayan style pyramid that had replaced the mud huts over the time she lived in this small town, was surrounded by walls, defenses and...argonians. Lots and lots of Argonians. They queued out the entrance, eager to see the advisor to the King of Argonia, though most would call J'anxi the actual, rightful King, using the Imperial ruler as a puppet.

Most people were right...

Nissa slowly trudged past the line, walking right into her...home she guessed, but as she looked at the familiar walls she felt nothing...

''What was that saying? Home is where the heart is? ''She scoffed.

''Shame mine is on the other side of the Continent. My Tal...''

I'll wait for you.

She wandered into the throne room, where the crowd of staff turned to look at her. Dunmer were unfamiliar in these lands after all.

Nissa rolled her eyes and shrugged, striding up to the throne, where an old, browning Argonian sat. His muscles were large and his strong, intimidating presence could be felt practically radiating from his body.

J'anxi also wore a magnificent, and large, headpiece, adorned in bright feathers, the scales of a Wamasau and several bits of wood, most likely from Hist trees...

"J-j'anny..." Nissa stammered, tears springing up into her eyes.

J'anxi glanced up, casually and nodded, having to keep up appearances in front of the common folk. He sighed as he clasped Nissas shoulder, tightly.

"My...ashen rose. Daughter."

"F-father they...he...kicked me out..." Nissa sobbed, quietly.

J'anxi hissed, a low rumbling sound, right from the pits of his chest, and dismissed everyone with a wave of his hand.

When the riff raff had disbaned, J'anxi stood up off his throne and hugged his 'daughter'.

"It is alright, little one." J'anxi whispered soothingly. "You do not need them, nor the trouble they brought to you."

"I...I know, father." Nissa sighed, glancing up to his face. "I just need...one of them. My one..."

The pair of them sighed, one in exasperation, the other in sadness, as they both mumbled out a name.

"Talin..."
