(Well, seeing as Jared just revealed the future plot, I guess there is no point in pro-longing this. Just gonna throw a couple of weeks of plot development out the window and get this over with. Dragon, sorry to say this, but this is the last time I share my future plots with you... or anyone for that matter. :/)

"We will use the Beasts", coughed Ran'Jinro and spat blood, saliva running from his lips as he struggled to speak. "That giant wolf... that... mishapen freak of nature I, Mongo and Falana saw north of here." The Khajiit sat up aggressively despite the pain it caused him. "We will attract that fucking thing... that monster... I will have it tear down the walls of the Imperial City itself! I will have it tear those madmen to bloody shreds! I will smile a I watch them pool into puddles amongst the cobblestone!"

He groaned and clutched to his chest as he wheezed, blood trickling down his chin. "And we will have them back. All of them..."

Falana didn't like the change in Ran'Jinro's demeanor. There was something... primal about it. But she guessed that it was understandable considering the circumstances.

"Nyx and Falana", he said. "The two of you are the stealthiest persons in this group. Think you can manage to find a way into the city?"

Falana smacked with her lips, somewhat disturbed by what was going to be proposed. She glanced over at Nyx askingly. "I... guess we could? What would we be...?"

"You two will find your way inside the walls. You will remain hidden and wait for the signal."

"What... signal? And how do you plan on...?"

"I intend to get better", he groaned, straining himself to sit up properly. "Have no plan on dying for those fuckers. As for the signal... you will know it when you see it... or feel it. When you do, you will find wherever they have them all stored away. Myrdana, Elinnel, Evelyne." He made a pause. "... Raini. All of them. You will set them free. And anyone else you can find who have been locked away by these people."

Falana still looked anxiously at Nyx, unsure if they could do this.

The group was escorted into the ruined hall of the White-Gold Tower. Where the chamber of the Elder Council once had been, it had now been converted into some sort of primitive throne room. Skulls were stuck on totems, crude long tables made out of oak had been placed in rows along the entire room, and in the center there was a throne made out of spikes and bones.

A man was seated in it. A swarthy Imperial with a close-cropped beard and a pair of dark brown eyes. A bitter look to him altogether, he inspected the group curiously as they entered the hall, their footsteps echoing for what seemed like an eternity.

Callius stepped forward to the man who undoubtedly was the Emperor. "Your highness", he said and bowed slightly before him. "The Beast Slayers we found just north of your empire."

The Emperor eyed the group, letting his gaze wander over them as if they were some curiousities. With a single motion of his hand he ordered them to stand before him.

Callius obeyed, shoving some of them forward with the shaft of his spear.

"Who are you?" asked the Emperor lowly, his brooding voice echoing in the hall. "Your names?"
