With that out of the way, the group rode on towards Karthwasten. Behind them, they would occassionally hear another cheer from the Xavier's forces.

"You're not getting it, Ayane. I am the spawn of a daedric prince," He said. "I am not abandoning by promise to uphold the law and slay those who would cause harm to the innocent. Far from it. My fear resides that I may or may not be firmly within the grasp of a horror that has threatened to destroy the land on more than one occassion."
