I immediately teared up when I realized who they were <3 Lovely artwork!

“You have to be patient to experience all that you deserve to make up for those losses. It will happen on day. I just wish you can see yourself as I see you.” 

“Elder told me to do so!” Sha-Tun held back her giggle as best she could as she wrapped her tail around his. “He said to stop day dreaming and join us outside while it rains. Its good for the gills”

Forces herself to look mad while looking towards Kii-Nam “You know elder is going to seek you out over this”

Kii-Nam kept up with Sha-Tun with ease, and grabbed onto her claw, lifting himself up. The weight of what he wore no longer bothered him like it did her, having to bear them for ages now. Once over the wall he jumped down and landed with a thud, panting for breath. 

“…Xuth” Sha-Tun gasped while laying on the ground from exhaustion from the added weight. The wards continued to softly hum while preventing the ghosts to reach over the wall to make it a little peaceful. She looked over to Kii-Nam with pride then perked up since they had to return to their shack before they were spotted from the guards. 

“Xuth is right” commented Kii-Nam kneeling and shaking his head. He looked around for the guards, so far nothing as he could see. It wasn’t long before he stood up, lifting Sha up with him. “Come now, before they realize we’ve been gone.” 

”Thanks, love” The walk back to their shack seemed longer then before as Sha-Tun dragged herself to keep up with Kii-Nam. While on their way back, a small figure was standing in the doorway to their shack with disapproving eyes. “Elder? It’s late. You should be asleep” Sha-Tun nudged her head towards the Elder’s shack but he shook his head and signalled for the two saxhleels to enter the shack. He threateningly held his walking stick while glaring at them.

Kii-Nam could see the look on the elderly Saxhleel’s face, it didn’t look too promising as he noted the near constant scowl. He entered in with Sha, already knowing they would get chewed out for this, though it dawned on him. How many did know that they were missing? 

After what seemed like hours of a lecture, the elder furiously turned away from the door way and started to head back to his shack. Sha-Tun’s eyes were heavy with guilt since it was rare that elder was angry about anything but he was more disappointed in the brown and green saxhleel and their adventure. Sha-Tun laid down on her side on a thin bedroll as her tail gently wrapped around Kii-Nam’s tail to help calm down.

“What? I didnt say anything” Sha-Tun frantically searched for the cellar door. Finally, one of the big heavy doors opened but not fully due to the chains on the handles. It was enough to partially light up the basement from the twin moons.They would be able to fit one at a time through the crack of the doors “It’s here-” Just as the green saxhleel turned to Kii-Nam, the ghost was towering over him and whispering beside his ear. 

“Not you!” shouted Kii-Nam shouted back, grabbing nothing. His eyes still fixated on the two skeletons, unaware of the threat looming behind him. “Sha…Sha any luck?” he questioned her, eyes not looking behind him just yet. 

Before Kii-Nam had time to react, Sha-Tun thrusted a fishing pole towards the brown saxhleel like a spear while grazing his shoulder. There was no damage to the ghost but it was enough for it to roar in anger as it tilted his head back. The roar filled the manor and the skeletons of the guards started to storm towards the two saxhleel. “Quickly!” Sha grabbed Kii’s arm so they could squeeze through the cellar doors.    

That was enough to catch Kii-Nam’s attention, it was then he saw the ghost behind him, and without a second screamed as loud as he could before bolting for the door himself. Almost comically, he shoved Sha-Tun through the cellar door first before he crawled out next, pulling her along against the dirt and grass away from the manor. 

While backing up with Ki-Nam, Sha-Tun covered her stomach with her arm and gratefully looked into his eyes. She gasped in fear to hear the skeletons banging their armor against the cellar doors to grab the saxhleels. The ghost slowly drifted out of the manor and his eyes set on the one closest towards his cold grip of death. Sha rolled over to start running on all fours to get back to the Dres plantation and to get to the safety of wards on the other side.

That was more than enough to get Kii-Nam to scramble along with his mate, staying right behind her that his tail whipped him across the face in their hasty retreat. Cursing in Jel he kept moving along at some point picking up a rock and throwing it at the ghost, before catching up with Sha-Tun. 

It was a straight stretch and after working everyday since they reached the plantation, the two saxhleels were swift but a bit clumsy due to the weight of their collars and cuffs. Sha-Tun leapt up onto the wall and clawed her way up before reaching down to help Kii-Nam up “Don’t look back. Almost there”

“…Sorry” Sha-Tun lowered her head after recognizing Kii-Nam’s forced smile. Her hand was placed on her stomach while running towards the basement as the manor was filled with the cries of terror from the Dres Guard. Soon the ghosts seemed to chant in unison as the other guard stepped in to defend his partner with his magicka. When only one guard was heard shouting, it was too late for the other soul. Before the two saxhleel closed the door behind them to the basement, a ghost maniacally laughed with his raspy voice “You’ll die and take my place to serve master for all eternity!”  

Kii-Nam looked over at Sha-tun when they both heard that, “That’s eternity I’d rather we both avoid” he whispered going down into the basement. If the two were Khajiit, they would have been able to see, but the only light coming in was from above with the cracks in the floor. The brown Argonian took the lead again, keeping his claws tracing along the wall. 

That was new, and frightening. Kii-Nam paused again as he looked around, hearing that voice. “No” he muttered, “She wouldn’t dare” unaware his pitch had raised slightly. His tail twitched slightly, even with Sha-tun’s hold, and pulled her in closer.
