๐.ย ย something that scares your muse,
honestly? donโt know if itโs expected or unexpected: hermaeus mora. like miraak would not admit that, not even to himself, but he is most definitely afraid of hermaeus mora and what he can do. miraak knows better than anyone what mora is capable of and has endured his and apocryphaโs horrors for thousands of years.
miraak may be defiant, but even a decade of what heโs been through would destroy a lesser person. his immortal soul is probably the only reason he hasnโt entirely lost it yet.
he doesnโt really actively recognizeย this fear though until heโs forced to confront it. unless heโs literally face to face (eyes?) with mora, heโs not going to really feel it.ย
he does however feel it in the alternate universes where he escapes apocrypha. thatโsย when it actually kicks in that he wants nothing else to do with hermaeus mora, his knowledge, his cult, anything, and he feels that way because ultimately? he is scared of mora. if he had to pick between killing himself and getting caught and dragged back to apocrypha he would not hesitate to pick the first option to say the least.
