(I wonder if Elvali will make an appearance. It would be cool to see what she's been up to since helping Jo'Khar kill Fenrig.

@Bee: The Blackheart just ignored the Countess that is beside Urik?)

"The statue is solid stone." Mera replied. "No way to open it unless it was destroyed." She seemed hesitant to mention its destruction, as the statue was a valuable piece of Nordic history.

Edwin's spells weren't working in the slightest, but the black sphere inside the statue was absorbing his magicka. It then suddenly stopped and Edwin couldn't pour anymore magicka into it. The statue began to give off a fain glow. The sphere had been deactivated for so long that it took quite a bit of magicka for it to trying to lock onto any remaining Waystones.

Rigmor approached Edwin and saw the glowing. "Did you get it working?" He touched the statue and felt a tingling sensation. He could see an image in his mind of a foggy bridge. What's this...

Suddenly Rigmor found himself standing on the College of Winterhold bridge in a blink of an eye. "What...where am I?" He looked around and saw that he was alone. Fog covered the area and he could hear the sounds of battle.

-

Garm barked, spooked that his owner and friend just vanished.

"Rigmor..." Erich called out after his friend. "He was teleported. It worked."

"Urik gave us our mission." Syldi said, dragging Brun through the alleys. "The keep isn't too far away, only two more blocks."

They turned a corner and ran for the western part of the city. They could now hear the sounds of battle from the southern wall.

Urik looked up at the Countess, not really able to move much. He recognized her as the serial killer thanks to the Captain's description of her. "You..." He managed to say. What's she doing here...is she in league with these attackers?

---

Hulgarth kept calling out to Cristus for a few more minutes until he spotted Elaine nearby with the boy. He's safe, for now.

"We need to get to the College, hurry north!" He said. He was worried about the trebuchets rounds and the fiery explosion that he had seen not far from where they were.

Agni, Orthorn, Faralda and Phinis and stood at the front and used Greater Wards to protect the group against the spells. However, because she had to stop to use a ward she was unable to go to Sergius.

The old Master Wizard stayed kneeling there, his head hanging forward as he bleed.

"Boy? The Khajiit is hardly a boy, he's decades old at the least. Though I suppose to someone as old as myself he is still a lad in comparrison." Drevis said. He thought that the Blackhearts were only here to get revenge on Jo'Khar, which is what was told to him by Sergius and the Khajiit.

He didn't seem troubled in the slightest by the enemies around him. A sentiment that Brelyna didn't share. She stayed ready to defend against the vampires.

The outer gates gave in, allowing access inside the gatehouse to the Blackhearts. Though the inner gate still stood in their way into the city. And in between them and the inner gate was the killbox of the gatehouse.

Archers were lined up on either side behind arrow slits, their arrows notched ready to fire on the enemy that tried to breach the inner gates. Stone walls protected the archers from any attacks from the invaders, so they just had to try their luck and attempt to break the inner gate while being shot at from both flanks without a way to fight back.

It was the final line of defense that Winterhold had, but it was damn effective.

-

Kraldar saw that there were trebuchets to the southeast. "Move the catapults!" He ordered. It wasn't too difficult to move the catapults along the southern wall to face the southeast, though it would take some time to set them up correctly to hit their foes.
