It ain't much, but it's honest work

Lou-louder the bark and the bigger the blade One seat on a throne, one foot in the grave Lou-louder the moth then the bigger the flame Do you really bleed if it washes away? — Bite Mark

#TESFest2024 Day 02: Secret | Golden

Miraak who visited the Last Dragonborn's dreams when she was but a child and became her ever watchful guardian.

Miraak who, in a hasty attempt to save her from imminent danger, awakened a dangerous, self-preserving power laying dormant within her.

Miraak who spared her from death, only to cause her a hundred more.

Miraak who failed, who kept silent... who betrayed her trust.

Last night in a temple

"My mentors told me that the perfect time to train my focus is when the skies are clear. I lost count of the nights I spent sitting under the stars just trying to cast a simple healing spell. And on the night I finally succeeded," Kisa takes a deep breath and gazed upon the bright moons; the sky was the same back then, "they were no longer there to see it."

TES Summer Fest 2022 Day 04 - Moonlight

[ID] Two moons are out on a clear night sky, a woman in bright red and orange robes sits at the bottom right of the image leaning against a wall, and looks tired. Bright tendrils of light come out of her hand as she casts a healing spell over her stomach wound. [End ID]

"Freedom to those who prove worthy

And to those who get caught

Divines show them mercy

For I certainly won't"

In death we speak

"Most nights I wish I would've just woken up with my hands covered in crimson. That will be easier to explain, to understand. Then, I wouldn't have to question why every time I'm sure it's the end for me, I wake up in another nightmare; one where everything—everyone—is so eerily still, I couldn't see anything but the dull colors of the waking world, and it's horrible, so horrible to walk in a land without sensing the slightest hint of a soul."

The mask lifts its gaze in the tides of unending shade, "There is nothing so simple in understanding this world. Not even us, who are beyond fate, the only ones of our kind, can explain why, in the countless times we've glimpsed on each other, we can only truly ever commune in these dreams of yours."

Kisa opens her eyes, or did she close it? There is nothing to see in the infinite darkness. "Dream," she mutters, "no.. I'm not going back there."

"But you already are," Miraak's visage begins to blur like snow in a blizzard, "Don't fear the lightless path, my child. There is a reason you keep walking back to it."

The dragonborn wakes, a soul baptized in the embers of Helgen.
