Light appeared at the end of the tunnel.

"Thank Akatosh." Muttered Perdix.

"Thank me." Said Gisla. "You're welcome.  I didn't have to save you life."

"Why did you?"

"What?  Save you?  We're not all blood-sucking monsters.  Some of us just want to get by."

Perdix almost laughed. His excuse for being a criminal used to sound like that. Of course now he was rich from all the jobs he had done to get where he was. "Thank you, Gisla." He said as the neared the grate. The vampire gripped it and pulled. All her muscles tensed, but eventually the metal gave way and the grate came free. Line shown through and when ever a beam touched Gisla she recoiled.

"I'll take it from her." Said Perdix, as he neared the edge of the tunnel, ready to through himself into the water below. "Thanks again."

"You're going to want that to get taken care of." She gestured to Perdix's shoulder.

A cocky smile spread across Perdix's face. "Don't worry- I know a guy."

He shifted he weight about to jump.

"Wait!'  Gisla called.  "What's your name?"

He turned to shoot her one last clever look. "The Gray Fox."

"Your real name."

He smiled widely at her and shook his head, then jumped. His arms over his head.

He plummeted through the air into the water below. His breath came out in a gasp as the arrow was jerked about in his arm, and then ripped free, completely whole. Not even a splinter was left behindA burst of blood followed, dying the water red around Perdix. The thief pumped his arms down and kicked, ignoring the pain, no matter how horrible it was. He shot to the surface. Perdix gasped as his mouth met fresh air, and he gripped the wound with his hand. Then began kicking to shore of mainland Cyrodiil.
