Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 100
by CaladranHe woke up on Teldryn’s chest with his head tucked under the still asleep mer’s chin and one strong hand around him. He lay there, unmoving, but relaxed, and listening to his partner’s heart beat. Ciel’nn savored the nearness of his partner as one strong arm rested on his...comments -

by Caladran***This chapter contains a mature love scene, so be warned!*** Ciel’nn rested his head on Teldryn’s shoulder. He gently hugged his partner tighter even if his arm and shoulder still ached. The thought of losing him always brought him to the edge of tears. He had seen... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 98
by CaladranThe sounds of clashing came ahead, but nobody had answered when he had shouted. Slitter frowned as he hurried on the hill. He hoped he’d know what to do when he arrived. He had found that he ran faster despite his age. It was an odd thing. It’s like I’m young again. And t... -

Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 96
by CaladranThe crazed reaver came at him laughing for some blood lust. Teldryn grunted, changing his stance. He focused on the reaver. Judging the reaver’s poise, he was eager for battle, but if he had killed many the older mer wasn’t sure. There had been been such enemies before and those batt... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 95
by CaladranThe stormy wind blew over the Bulwark, bringing more ash where the Redoran Guards kept vigil. They peered into the storm nervously, looking for any signs of the reavers. One of them cursed, another guard prayed for all of their safety for it was a dreadful feeling which they all shared on this c... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 94
by CaladranA quiet chatter and rumble filled the air around the bonfire as the reavers were gathered there to listen to the Reaver Lord. They were expectant and hoped for a grand siege plan. They expected to get Raven Rock under their control by brutal force. Or so Sildras had given them th... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 93
by CaladranThe Captain’s office was simple, yet comfy for a Dunmer. It had all the Redoran necessities which didn’t escape Ciel’nn’s observation. Especially the couch looked so nice that he’d want one for himself. Smooth carved wood and green and soft padded seating lo... -

by CaladranVother sat at the fireplace, listening to the quietness. It was strange as he was used to the noises of the fellow reavers outside. But now, it was quiet as a stone. Only the howling wind whined in the corners of the cottage. The old mer frowned but didn’t think of it any further. He liked... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 91
by CaladranHe hadn’t been visiting the Temple for a long time. Feeling guilty for not meditating lately, Ciel’nn sighed as he climbed the stairs up. Meditating would give him some peace while the world around him roiled in chaotic way, or so it felt to him. The Temple was the one place where he... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 90
by CaladranThe storm seemed to ease up, but there was still something that made the young mer doubtful about how long it would last. They were heading back to Raven Rock and both mers kept an eye on the path ahead. The scene with the two creatures fighting still haunted the young mer. One of the creatures ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 89
by CaladranCiel’nn ate a spoonful of his nutrient full soup while his partner told him what had happened since his fall. Apparently the assassin had been certain of his death, and Ciel’nn didn’t like the notion of sparing him until Teldryn told him that he was needed to locate him with th... -

by CaladranA figure was standing on a nearby cliff. Absently Ciel’nn thought he knew what it was, but ignored it. He had found a place to rest between two strange rocks. He felt dull and he was nearly giving up. He had been wandering around the area and hadn’t found a means to escape.Follow&hel... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 87
by CaladranThe cavern shook and bits of ice exploded into dozens of fragments that shot in every direction. It was dark and quiet, then a shifting of air until —“How long are you going to sit there with him?”I know that voice. Teldryn exhaled and sighed deeply. ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 86
by CaladranThe pitch blackness of the tunnels made Teldryn feel uneasy. The only light in this forgotten place was the torch light. He shivered and noticed his breaths had become visible as it was colder. He didn’t know where they were taking him and the Apprentice. Finding Ciel’nn now might ha... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 85
by CaladranThe night had been somewhat restful, but Teldryn couldn’t think of anything else than going to find Ciel’nn. He prepared his backpack for the rescue trip. Somewhere near Benkongerike. Hang on Ciel’nn, he thought as he packed a blanket while Neloth’s words still ec... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 84
by CaladranThe High Shaman observed the fallen one who let out the whimpers of pain. It seemed, Gnimmum deemed, that he was fighting the poison with his entire being. She sensed something had happened to him as the poison would have killed him hours ago. But not, the fallen one struggled on while he remain... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 83
by CaladranTel Mithryn was in his sight, and he pulled the rope after him, making the assassin fall down. “Get up!” He growled as he glanced at the gagged assassin, who was shaking his head and whimpering through the gag. What a miserable mer, he thought with a frown. “Move it!&rd... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 82
by CaladranThe sight of Teldryn had faded. The young mer hoped his love wouldn’t blame himself. He cherished the moments he had spent with the bladesman. He’d miss him though. He’d miss everything about him. If only they’d had more time… Teldryn…Ciel’nn had close... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 81
by CaladranThe struggle against the blizzard weakened his efforts to chase the assassin down. The assassin who was trying flee from him. But Teldryn’s determination burned bright. He’d see to it that the assassin would suffer, but the older mer hadn’t thought about what he’d actually ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 80
by CaladranWincing Methas tried to cover his face in the morning blizzard. His body screamed for warmth and a part of him wanted to fall down, but he felt his target was close now. The assassin wasn’t about to give up. He’d follow his targets to all ends of Tamriel. Oblivion was the only place ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 79
by CaladranThe assassin winced as the blizzard embraced him. He realized his fur cloak wasn’t enough to ward against the cold. Had he known that his target was heading toward the North, Methas would have brought a thicker cloak for the pursuit. Of course, he knew how cold Solstheim was. But t... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 78
by CaladranTeldryn cursed under his breath. He had no idea that House Hlaalu would react so strongly that they’d send an assassin after Ciel’nn. His partner was certain of it, and they first had seen the same person lingering about the bulwark and Ciel’nn had chosen to flee while they had... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 77
by CaladranUlves wrapped up the travel rations and then handed them to Ciel’nn. “These should be sufficient for a few days, given that you don’t get lost in the storm.” He sighed. “Azura shine your path, Ciel’nn.”“Thank you, Ulves. I’m sure we will reac... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 76
by CaladranHe gave a crude nod to the Captain before he stepped on the pier. Methas pulled his hood and face mask on and began his slow stroll toward the town. The ash storm raged, but he wasn’t worried. It would be a mere nuisance if nothing else. I should buy ash goggles though, he thought ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 75
by CaladranThe Captain of the Dunmer Trade ship shook his head and cursed as the vicious waves tested his ship. He had sailed these waters long enough to know that this storm wasn’t an ordinary one. The waves were dreadful and he’d had a hard time trying to keep his ship in control. But... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 74
by CaladranWith a grunt, S’cathe threw the limp Reaver down the hill, then watched it rolling away. The unlucky mortal hadn’t been a challenge. No one had so far. Even the small blue creatures had fled once they had seen him. It had been boring for The Dremora Lord. The whole island was b... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 73
by CaladranTempest, Ciel’nn thought shivering while his heart beat heavily. The back of his throat ached as he warily tried to look at the sky. He hated to admit that he was afraid. He had hoped it wouldn’t come at all. Especially not knowing if it was an attempt on his life again, or if it was... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 72
by CaladranHe lay in their tent when he came to. It was quiet apart from the ash storm raging. Ciel’nn coughed as he tasted the ash on his lips. He groaned at his aching head. Blinking his eyes open, the young mer realized he was alone as he slowly propped himself up. His arms supporting his weight. ... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 71
by CaladranThe ash spawns had surrounded them. They were many, as far as his sight reached and beyond. Too many fucking ash spawns, Teldryn thought. He glanced at his partner who was wounded. Ciel’nn was bleeding and barely standing. He noted the younger mer’s hands shaking. The older mer gritt... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 70
by CaladranCiel’nn stared at the Severin Manor key that Councilor Morvayn held out for him. “You have earned it as well as the citizenship of Raven Rock.” He heard the Councilor say. He had already received five thousand Azura’s Silver as payment from Adril for the job well done. Ci... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 69
by CaladranCiel’nn winced when he came to. His body ached, but he felt the cuts healing up. He shifted a bit and grunted. His head hurt and it seemed he had developed a headache. The young mer recalled what had happened before his blackout. That N’wah! The spot where Vendil had kicked him was s... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 68
by CaladranTeldryn slashed at the taller mer viciously. He found it difficult as it seemed Vendil was a master of duel-wield - his slashes were blocked without much effort. His gouges had a more sinister edge to them.And, on the top of all, the mer had heavy chitin armor. That left Teldryn with one o... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 67
by CaladranThere was a swift movement toward them. Ciel’nn sensed it as his pulse ticked on. He watched how Teldryn clashed with the first assassin of the Morag Tong. He bit his lower lip, his body tensing up and tingling. He didn’t know how the Morag Tong operated, but he assumed there would b... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 66
by CaladranThe ash storm grew more intense once they departed from Raven Rock. Ciel’nn couldn’t see ahead of him than a few steps at a time. He felt like someone was trying to stop him from going anywhere. The young mer was glad that his partner walked close to him. I wouldn’t know what t... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 65
by CaladranIt was as if the safe was waiting for them in the main bedroom. To be lock-picked and all its secrets given out for those that wanted them. The safe contained a few pieces of jewelry, assorted gems, a polished and decorated glass dagger and some coins. And the most grim secret of them al... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 64
by CaladranSo I shall lie in the embrace of the shadows and wait for my prey to arrive. The Ulen Ancestral Tomb seemed empty when Ciel’nn walked in. There were some bones and a few ash yams in the grave, just like Geldis had said. The young mer looked around for a moment. He then looked to his... -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 63
by CaladranCiel’nn and Teldryn were enjoying their breakfast, Ash Yam -Kwama Cuttle. The young mer was in a good mood while he sipped his pearl tea. He had been drinking since the events of the barrow. His waist was still healing, but Aphia had said it wouldn’t take long now. Overall, t... -

by CaladranTenaru smiled coolly as the guards tried to circle around her. She pointed toward the blond guard and cast a Wall of Storms. She took delight in the surprised scream from the guard.

Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 60
by CaladranPatience. The young mer found it difficult to wait for the Altmer bitch to make her move. Days and nights felt like an eternity for Ciel’nn while he tried to sleep. He ended up to watching how his partner slept next to him and listening to his breathing. He guarded Teldryn’s sl... -

by Caladran“… At last I have the skulls of my former lovers, all five of them. Collecting them wasn’t a easy task as each of them resisted my attempts, but they fell before me. Except the Argonian who willingly sacrificed himself for me. I said it was for the greater good. What a fool he... -

by CaladranThe strange rock came in to view as they approached Raven Rock. Ciel’nn was relieved to get away from the colder beaches. A nice warm bath would be better. It was a pity the Retching Netch didn’t have a bathing room. Ciel’nn wondered if he should give a suggestion...comments -

by CaladranCiel’nn stirred up from a nightmare to find out that his partner was still asleep. He frowned at his own state - why had he awoken? His nightmare had been absurd, but wasn’t what had he bothered him. He felt restless, but he didn’t want to disturb Teldryn’s sleep so Ciel&...comments -

by CaladranCirion smelled the cold sea air, smiling dreamily. She’s a wonderful lady. He had been lucky when she had asked him and Sincano to travel with her as her personal guards.

by CaladranThe flight through the portal made Ciel’nn’s stomach roll. He almost threw up once they landed. He had his eyes closed firmly as he tried to slowly get on his feet. He had fallen on his side. The dreadful feeling still lingered in the back of his mind. He opened his eye...comments -

by CaladranThe dinner had dragged along the evening quietly apart from Neloth’s occasional grunting and mumbling. No one had dared to say anything.

by CaladranCiel’nn rolled away from the ash spawn and got on his feet. It had hit him with brutish power, and the young mer was certain it’ll leave a bruise on his arm.

by CaladranWith the campfire close to him, and the waves lapping behind him, Ciel’nn unfolded the map of buried Deathbrand treasure carefully, knowing it might be years old, and thus fragile.

by CaladranThe Bujold’s Retreat was a smart choice to camp, even though they were quite away from the main camp. They had found some salvageable food and more furs.

by CaladranThe screams and curses filled the reaver camp before the dawn. Dandera hadn’t gotten much sleep since the patrol came back – well, what’s left of it. Her reaver band were veterans.

by CaladranCiel’nn had fallen into his own thoughts, while the Skaal Shaman studied the map of the reaver camps with her brows knitted.

by CaladranThe gray clouds and the dark horizon towards the North made the anxiety swirl around him.

No good rest nightly rest meant he ...comments -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 38
by CaladranThe spell failed, even if Ciel’nn thought he had it. His brows knitted when something went wrong. Having a clear picture of the rune in his mind wasn’t enough. He needed to apply magick when pointing at the ground, but that’s where it failed. What if I do it differently? ...comments -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 37
by CaladranHe watched how the Skaal hunters killed a bull netch. How they laughed heartily at their prey before the big Skaal hunter began to skin the netch.

Ciel’nn...comments -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 34
by CaladranThe air was cold, and the magicka felt potent even if Ciel’nn wasn’t into spells and all that wizardry. He felt it though, possibly because through his long gone ancestor. His aunt had been a wizard or a high mage. Marveling at the show of ice spells and frost atronachs...comments -
Alda'hirakam ghar Ara; Chapter 33
by CaladranThe bull netch floated on an ash dune when the Skaal hunters cautiously approached it. Who knew if the godless savage would attack them?

by CaladranIt wasn’t easy to find a shelter in an ash storm. Teldryn weighed his options when he had picked Ciel’nn up in his arms with the utmost care.
