The group continued on, through the narrow passageway.

"So... Shrava, what exactly do you know about this bastard?" Torus frowned. "You two seemed to be good friends..."

"Well, if you must know, he's not a Daedra. He is one of the brightest illusionists in all of Tamriel. All of the mirages and falsehoods that he conjures up comes strictly from his knowledge on the matter," Shrava explained.

"He works for Sheo," Torus said.

"He does not work for Sheogorath. Nobody 'works' for sheogorath," Shrava rolled her eyes. "He's a Mad Scholar. One of the very few mortals to learn the most forbidden of magics and illusions. He studied madness itself on the Shivering Isles... It's a very interesting area of study."

"I take it you've studied there with him, as well?"

"This One... has not. She is a destruction mage. No illusions in her large fires."

"Then how do you know him so well?"

"He, eh..." Shrava shook her head. "Found this one in a bad situation. And gave her the strength to remove herself from it."

Eventually, the group found themselves exiting the passageway, and into a large cavern. They had a walkway in front of them, wider than the place they just exited. If they were to look down, they would see a massive drop down into a pool of water below. At the center of this cavern was a large platform, where they could see a fire sending a bit of smoke up into the air, as well as a few tents.

The first signs of life.
