Part Three

After spending time with the Aldmeri Dominion. I was an ordinary Imperial serving the queen. The high elf didn't mind me being human, but she granted me citizenship to Summerset Isles.

But some didn't like the fact that an Imperial would serve under Queen Ayrenn. Razum-dar stuck up for me though. He's ok for a Khajiit.

He was protecting me from harm and made an excellent body guard. But there's reports about worm cultists in the city searching for me. Some weren't captured as they slipped away. They had a habit of doing that. I would know. I used to be part of it.

But I took up a hobby to take my mind off it. I began scrying for other realms. I had that ability. I wanted to be someplace safe. The dark brotherhood also aided me and worked in the shadows. Sithis preserve me.

One of the assassins came to see me and I had to speak with them in private. They posed as a citizen as they approached me. Raz has to come with me and make sure it wasn't a trick.

Razum-dar: This better be important. Why do you come to see this one?

Lisse: Listen, Mannimarco has been looking for you and already killed one of the initiates. We're taking a big risk in keeping you safe.

"Does he know where I am?"

Lisse: No. but we haven't broken yet. He's also torturing a few of our own to get a location. We're not giving in. Besides, what have you been up to?

"I took up scrying for other places. I don't know if Tamriel is safe for me anymore. I'm under a protection services, but what if he finds me?"

Razum-dar: If he does, we'll be ready. Have no fear my friend. Raz won't let anything happen to you.

"You're an Eye of the Queen--"

Razum-dar: As you are too.

He was right. No use arguing with him. For me being immortal and achieved Lich Hood, some wouldn't be strong enough to take me down. I was once a skilled assassin. But it's behind me.

Razum-dar: Alessia?

"Yeah I'm still here. Just that......"

Lisse: Alessiamarco, continue your research on what you plan to do.

"You never called me by my full name before. Usually when you do you know something bad is going to happen."

Lisse: Just go with your gut. We'll be watching. Sithis watch over you.

Then just like that, she disappears in smoke.

As days went by, I spent time underground forging things and fixing a special portal. After weeks of preparing it, I finally made a breakthrough. I used nirnroot, soul gem shards, bonemeal, and more importantly my blood. I created a portal to someplace and I caught a glimpse of it. It was a distant land.

It could be safe for me. I closed the portal and went to tell Raz about what I did. He was actually at my door.

"Raz! I made a breakthrough! But come inside first."

Razum-dar: Alright friend. -Walks inside and shuts the door-

"I made a portal but it would mean for me to leave Tamriel. For a while.

Razum-dar: Are you sure? I hope you plan to visit again.

"I do. I wouldn't want to leave you all behind. I'll try to come visit. Just I need time away."

Razum-dar: This one understands. Raz would miss you.

He gave me a hug and I hugged him back. We always got along well. I'll miss him the most.

"I should tell the Queen about this."

Razum-dar: Yes you should.

We set out at once to go tell Queen Ayrenn about my discovery. She seemed impressed as she stood there looking at me. She walked down from her throne and hugged me. She never hugged me before.

Queen Ayrenn: Please be safe and good luck. I understand you had a rough time. But hopefully you can start over. Just promise you would visit again soon.

"Of course, your majesty. I'll miss you."

And just like that, I walked out of the castle in Alinor. I headed for my house in that city and went to pack my things and my wealth. I earned enough gold from doing my work for the Queen.

I went to prepare the portal and it opened up to that other world. I walked through it carrying my things and my sword, Sithis' Sword, and went through it and and I fell down as I went through it. I landed on the ground and I looked around me. I could hear these weird sounds around here and I quickly got up and walked around.

Some strange vehicles almost hit me as I crossed the street and I ran for it as I made it to the other side.

I went someplace to trade in my gold which all coins are blank. They gave me a lot of money for them and wished me luck with it. They mentioned it's like I won the lottery. Whatever that means.

I went to purchase a place of my own and it was furnished already.

I tossed my bag down and laid there on the bed. For a while I thought of what I can do here now. Then I got up again and went out and locked the door. Always lock before leaving. I went to buy a device called a cell phone and they taught me how to use it. I then bought a computer and got internet.

I hoped to begin a new life here. Then I saw there was a university and got enrolled right away.

I went back to my place since I knew where it was by now.

I got food on the way home and brought it to my new home.  This was nice. I ate my food after cooking it and went to sit on my computer. Well not really sit on it. I checked out music from everywhere and some are from the other side of the world. Amazing.

I think I'll enjoy being here.

Part Two

After a few weeks of becoming part Lich, I gained immortality along with it. But what does it really mean though? I went to see my father back castle as I wanted to speak with him, but I overheard something from him.

Mannimarco: We should make plans for the next coming events. And my daughter is the key. We must find the Amulet of kings.

Worm Cultist: What about Alessia? She is of your own blood.

Mannimarco: She's lived a good life. We will begin a ritual first thing tomorrow and then, her soul will be a value to my collection.

I couldn't believe it. He wants to kill me. All this time. I ran back to my room and packed my things and fled Coldharbour.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I returned to Tamriel and changed my hair color to hide my identity. As I went around the markets of Morrowind, I noticed some people had families and mostly population of Dark Elves. I took up a job as a bounty hunter as I took jobs off a bulletin board they had in cities. Made gold that way.

But as I was doing this job, I saw some cultists in the city of Mournhold. You don't think I would see them? They're disguised as civilians. One of them came up to me and I felt fear in my soul. Don't make a scene. Please.

Man: What's a fine young woman like you doing in a place like this?

"Just doing business. It's none of your concern."

As I was about to leave, one of them grabbed me and then leaned over toward me.

Woman: We know who you are, Alessia. Mannimarco is looking for you.

"Hands off me. Now."

Guard: Halt!!

Damn it. A guard.

Woman: this doesn't concern you, sir.

Guard: It is my concern. We're ordinators here in the city. And this young woman you're pursuing is a citizen. She has done nothing wrong.

Man: She's done many things.

I yanked my arm back and I looked at the ordinator.

Guard: The things she had done doesn't matter. Her records had been cleared of any crime. She paid a full bounty.

I had records? From all over Tamriel?? No wonder they asked for 1036 in gold when I got here. Then that's when they pulled their daggers out and the guards swarmed the area. One of them took me away from there and took me to the Tribunal Temple.

I stayed there until the situation cleared up.

I went rogue against my father's orders and wishes. But as the guards came to see me, it seemed they had taken care of the cultists.

Guard: It appears we have a problem, Alessia.

"What's the problem?"

Guard: They revealed you were once part of a cult and was born in there. You did kill people for them didn't you?

Oh no. What did I get myself into? Well, I did but that's all behind me now. My own father, the King of Worms wants to kill me. And now this is brought up? So much for being in hiding.  I couldn't slip away out of this one either.

"Wait!"

A female voice can be heard and I can see a floating elf. It was Almalexia, one of the three Tribunal.

Almalexia: She's needs our protection. What she has done it does not matter now. The King of Worms has a bounty on her head. I had foreseen this.

Guard: Yes my Lady.

"You know of my fate?"

Almalexia: -Slowly nods-You seek protection and that's is what we'll provide.

She talked with the guards for a while and I sat there waiting. Since then, I was escorted to Summerset Isles and enlisted along with other soldiers.  The Pact didn't feel the need to have me. Nor did the Covenant. I had guards from the Queen herself to protect me from harm.

It was a matter of time until Mannimarco would find me. Yes I said my father's name. I was under a protection thing in Summerset. I took up lute lessons and learned to sing.

But there's been rumor whispering about dark magic at work on the isle. But I had other plans.

Part One

It was actually one thing about me that this story is. No one knows about my background. I sit here writing this as I go on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the Second Era, year 562. My father is the King of Worms himself Mannimarco. He lead a worm cult in secret. The Empire doesn't know. Fools. But when my birth happened, I was born a girl instead of a boy. He almost had me killed but until he looked at my eyes. I had his eyes.

Something made him change his mind as he raised me in secret. I was more close to him than I was with my mother. I grew up to be very tall than any normal Nords. I was half Altmer and half Nord. My father was taller than me still however. But enough of this talk of whose height is better.

When I reached 18, I overheard my father talking about using me as a sacrifice for a ritual and I packed my things and ran away. I left the cult. I was discovered by an assassin from a guild called Dark Brotherhood. I joined the ranks and did contracts. I was trained to learn necromancy when I was in the cult. I also did assassin work there too when I reached my midteens. I got my payment and saved enough gold to escape.

I lived in the sanctuary for two years. When the cult found out where I was, my father wanted me to be brought in alive. I refused and fought my way out to get away. The leader of the dark brotherhood told me to flee. I had nowhere to go.

I go across Tamriel and fled to Skyrim. I came up with something to escape from my own father. It was a protection spell.

But as I went to the market there in Eastmarch, in the city of Windhelm, it was chilly but I had a home there. I was buying food and things for it. I noticed a family that was struggling there and I went over to hand them fifty gold. I had enough. It was only enough til their next payment.

They thanked me for it. That made me feel good about myself.

When I was on my way back, I was stopped by a beggar. He asked me for gold and I handed him ten gold pieces. That should last him for a week. I pulled away and went to go home. I didn't have much things in my home. I slept on a bedroll and pillows. I have a fortune behind me and I am always on the go.

I went hunting the next morning and when I got back, I saw that someone had broken into my home. Of course I took my twin blades out and went inside after setting my game down that I hunted. It was meat.

As I moved forward, I saw a shadow in the next room.

"A nice place to hide isn't it, Alessia?"

That voice. My eyes grew wide as I dropped my daggers and I saw the man turn around pulling his hood off. It was him. My father Mannimarco.

Mannimarco: You think you would hide forever from me? I been looking for you for two years now Alessia.

"I overheard you. You wanted to kill me."

Mannimarco: You're mistaken my dear.

I picked up my blades and put them away, but only took one out.

"Liar!! You want to kill me. I worshipped you for years!! And this is how you're treating me?!"

He stood there looking at me. He began to walk around until he stood behind me.

Mannimarco: I have special plans for you, Alessia. Do you know why I named you after her? Because you're a special kind. You're needed back at the cult. I've come to fetch you and make you stronger. Like me.

I looked at him as he still stood behind me. I turned around as I stared at him.

"How do I know this isn't a trick?"

Mannimarco: Oh, my dear you wouldn't. And it's no trick. I want you to become a Lich. Like me.

Like him?? Is he trying to get me killed? I know he lived a long time he's an elf. But wait........is he telling the truth?

"Tell me more first and maybe I'll decide on my fate."

He smirked at me and nodded.

Mannimarco: That's my girl. Pack your things. We got a long travel back.

He kissed the top of my head and stood in the main entrance waiting for me. I went to pack my things. I had an heirloom necklace that I valued the most. It was a gift from him. Has the insignia of the worm cult. Or was it the King of Worms emblem? I don't know.

When we got back to the lair, it was in Coldharbour. He performed a ritual that would turn me into a Lich. It was painful. Molag Bal granted me his blessing and that was when I became powerful. This was truly a beginning.
