    The Dark Craving

    Ostium woke up in daze, a burning feeling in his Chest overcame him. He struggeled to get on his Feet. His Vision became blurry for a few seconds as he looked down on his Arms. They were Pale as Snow and his Skin was Cold as Freshly fallen Snow. Thats when it hit Him, he had not drank any Blood for about Two whole Days. He realized what was happening to Him, he got dressed and covered his Face as best he could with his Hood and stormed out the Inns Frontdoor. He was Lucky, a thick blanket of Clouds covered the Sky blocking out the Sunlight. Ostium rushed out Riftens Gates trying to not draw attention to Himself. He needed Blood and that quickly.

    Ostium entered the Birch Forest to the Right of Riftens Gates and scrambled through the underbrush. He spotted an Old decrepit Tower inhabitated by two Bandits. He stalked the Bandits for a bit to gather Information on them. "One Archer and a Melee Fighter in Heavy armor" the burning senation in his Chest started to morph into a Dark Desire and Ostium couldnt help himself, His Fangs started to itch and showed Themself. He pulled out an Arrow and shot the Archer. She went down Instantly, the other Bandit noticed Him and started his Assault by rushing over to Ostium swinging his Axe at him. Ostium took a quick step back avoiding the Axe, the Bandit was thrown off balance by his own Momentum. Ostium hit the Mans Face with his bows back side stunning Him. He tossed away his bow and rushed behind the Bandit kicking the back of his Knee to make him Kneel and ripping of the Mans Helmet. The Dark Desire scratching at his Mind made him wild. He savagely plungled his fangs into the Bandit and proceeded to snap the Mans Neck by Accident. He was like a Lion ripping apart its Prey. The lifeless Husk of a Man falling to the Ground and Ostium falling on his Botton cradling his Head in his Hands tears streaming down his Face.

    "I wasnt myself, it was as if some Primal Force took control of Me, i cant let it get this Bad ever again. I need some solution for when I cant find Humans".

    Friend of the Unwanted

    Ostium calmed down over the course of the next few Minutes and dragged Himself back to the Riften Stables. His Mood got lifted a little as he saw Ahkaris Caravan. Kharjo was overjoyed to be reunited with his Necklace. He was lost in thought remembering Elsweyr for a few seconds. Kharjo offered his help if Ostium ever needed it.

    Ostium spend a little time with Ahkari to better his Mood a bit. He asked a few Questions about why they would even feel the cold Winds when they have Fur. "We have a thin Coat of Fur since we Live on the Hot Sands of Elsweyr". Ahkari asked for Ostiums full name, wanting to know the Full Name of her Friend. "Just Ostium, i have no Last Name not since i fled Cyrodiil". "Then we will give you a new one". "Ja'fith. It translates to Warmth in youre Language. You are One of the only ones to treat us Kindly in this Land filled with Cold People". "Ostium Ja'fith. I like it, Thanks Ahkari for everything" Ahkari and Ostium Hugged.

    Ostium decided it was Time to leave, he bid farewell to his Feline Friends and approached the Carriage Driver near the Stables. He payed for a Trip to Solitude and got in the Back of the Carriage. He was exited to meet Angeline again and tell her off his Adventures and he needed to prepare for his Journey to Winterhold.

    Solitude

    The Carriage arrived in Solitude in the Morning, it traveled through the Night. The Carriage Driver woke up Ostium. It was arround 11pm when Ostium entered Solitude. He entered the Alchemy Shop and Angeline greeted him with a happy expression. Angeline and Ostium sat down in the Back Room of the Shop and Ostium started to tell her off his Adventures and his progress in Alchemy. They drank Tea made from Dragon's Tongue Petals and ate Sweetrolls. He told her how he made Friends with the Khajiit and how they gave him a New Name, He mentioned his Adventure with the Orcs and how he met Malacath. They talked for more than Half an Hour when Ostium told her off his Dream.

    "I want to write an Encyclopedia about all the Alchemy Ingredients found in Skyrim and everything surrounding and Recipes, or how to cure yourself from Poisons. So even the Common Man knows what plants or Mushrooms are Safe to use or to help Aspiring Alchemist like myself".

    Angeline looked at him for a second and then started smiling.

    "I cant travel with you but i can still help you. You can use the Ingredients in my Shop for youre Research, I even have some Recipes myself i can give you"

    Ostiums Eyes lit up and He thanked Angeline for her Help. He started brewing Potions to prepare himself for his Journey to Winterhold. He made multiple Frost Resist Potions, a Antidote for Poisons, two Cure Disease Potions and a few basic Poisons. He also discovored his strongest Poison yet. By Combining the Wings of a Orange Dartwing with the Cap of an Imp Stool and a Broth made with Canis Root the Poison that is created will Paralyse the Target and slowly destroys the Targets Muscles. He had enough Ingredients to make two Vials of this Poison.

    Angeline and Ostium were talking the entire Time while he was brewing. She managed to get His Past out of Him. After hearing of it She felt for him and when he was about to leave Angeline Embraced Him.

    "You are always welcome here, with the Time we spent together i started to see you as a Son Myself. Im always here for you if you need Help or Advice or just want to spend some time with Me. Show those Mages in Winterhold what youre Made of".

    Ostium held back a Tear and thanked Angeline for her Kindness.

    "I'll make sure to Visit you to update you on my progress when i have Free Time".

    They said Goodbye and Ostium stood outside for a moment just taking everything in. He was grateful for all the great People he was able to meet.

    "The Sun will go down in about an Hour, and i have one last thing I have to take care of".

    He entered the Radiant Raiments and had the Tailor add a few things to his Belt and Bag. It took the Tailor about an Hour to finish his Request. He also bought a pair of warmer Boots. He payed her for the Belt and Bag and went outside. He now has two extra pockets on his Belt for quick Access to Emergency Potions and he had His Satchel Bag a little enlarged. He put a Cure Disease into one and the Antidote into the other Belt Pocket. The Sun was now barely visible behind the Horizon and Ostium went on his way to Deliver The Alchemists Song Book to Lami. His Plan was to travel through the Swamp into Morthal and from there to Windhelm. He will spend a Night in Windhelm and then Travel further up North to Winterhold.
