Talin emerged from the foliage, crossing back over into the Khajiiti territory. He had been travelling for a few days now, going from place to place around the local area as he collected supplies. It would seem that his venture, out into the unknown, proved bountiful as he returned with a large sack full of fruits and vegetables.

The Imperial stopped as soon as he approached a nearby body of water, a steam of some sorts, he couldn't help but notice that his reflection had caught his eye...

The Imperial stopped and slowly turned towards it, looking into the mirror-like surface that it offered, before him was a tired looking man, with a shaved head, glaring at him in disapproval.

He sighed, heavily, running his hand through his head stubble and glancing up to the sky.

"Really... Haven't you been doing this long enough?" He sighed, sounding truly defeated at this point, keeping his other half at bay proved to be exhausting. He would've thought that his initial victory would have weakened the entity in his head but it just proved to be unrelenting and patient as pestilence.

"Surviving? I don't think that you can do that long enough... You've been trying to get rid of me for months now, years even, ever since you took back control...

If you think I'm giving up my one chance of having my life back, then you're sorely mistaken."

"Pfft... What life did you even have? You don't have anyone to miss you, everything you've ever done has been undone over the years, why do you keep fighting!?"

"Because you and I both know that I'm not doing it for me...

I'm doing it for them..."

"Pfft... What makes you think that you've brought anything but pain and suffering to me and everyone else you've ever touched!? Face it, Talin, you're just coming up with excuses. If I left them, Tharn would have no reason to come after them!"

"Tharn has every reason to come after them, you saw what he did to Ria... You don't think he'd hesitate to that to us, considering what we know? Even you're at risk now! Please, let me out, let me undo this! This has taken way too long to reach Elsweyr, I can't cover for us anymore! Tharn grows more powerful by the day and-"

The voice was cut out by a harrowing scream, as if he had just had dozens of volts of electricity sent through his body. The Imperial creased his brow as his eyes glew a teal colour, inflicting more and more pain on the voice to shut it up. He wouldn't allow him to trick him, his resurrection was at hand and he'd be damned if he was going to let this Imperial boy stand in his way.

"Enough! If you haven't the good courtsey to die, at least be silent!" He growled, clearly this was hurting him, just as it was the other occupant of his head but he pushed past it.

He remained silent himself, listening out for any further reply from the voice in his head...

It would seem that it was gone... for now...
