A couple minutes later, Elruhne's body was retrieved and laid on the street.

The general knelt down and brought out a book. He opened it on a blank page and then touched the bloody remains of Whitebeard.

His fingertips glowed with magic and the air above the body seemed to distort. Suddenly, the spirit of Elruhne appeared.

"Cosnach, so you came." Elruhne's aetherial voice said. "I have been waiting for you."

"To think that you would fall to Nords, a great shame old friend." Cosnach said.

Elruhne grunted. "You know our relationship was not one of friendship, Cosnach. We were merely comrades in arms, but before that you were King and I your servant. Even before that we were enemies, rival Chieftains."

"And now, you are a corpse and I am still living." Cosnach said with a smirk. He stood up, his fingers covered in Elruhne's blood.

"You came here to make a pact, so get on with it." The spirit urged.

The general's bloody hand glowed. "Mad Elruhne Whitebeard, son of Maeruhne. I offer you the chance to fight once more, the possibility to claim vengeance on your killer. You need only accept my pact and be bound to me. Your spirit will cease to be, no chance for an afterlife for you, that is the price you must pay in order to walk on Nirn once more as one of my soldiers. What say you?"

"I accept." Elruhne said with no hesitation and vanished.

Cosnach used the blood to draw a runic inscription on the blank page of the book. "Another soldier for my army." He closed the book and tugged at the chains wrapped around his chest. ''If only I could get these chains off, then I could reclaim my throne from that foreigner. A Reachman should be King of the Reach, not someone like him...''
