...In Ice, that had formed a dense shield on top of Mathelar's head.
He raised his head, glaring at Mokkie. "You are not Mokkie" he said as he willed ice to form into two daggers, and cutted the vines holding him. Mokkie jumped back, eyes in disbelief, then in hatred.
"You were supposed to die!" she yelled, as Mathelar scoffed, "That's what they all say" he retorted. He threw the ice daggers in the air and grabbed Ackblay and Itewhay, as the ice daggers melted in mid-air, lightly wetting Mathelar.
He then pointed at Mokkie with Ackblay, "You are not Mokkie, she wouldn't harm her friends...Neither would she threaten her baby" he said briefly looking at Arthas's temporary vine crib.
Mathelar then got into a fighting stance, blood slowly going down his arms and bloodying his daggers, "Even with all of my wounds, I will defeat you..." he said as his life blood slowly dripped out of his body.

Fera was looking as Mathelar continued the battle with renewed vigor, his life blood slowly seeping out of his body, HIS life.
But all for what? for their freedom? she threw that idea out the window, no one ever hardly cared for the Ferranos. All that they were, to the eyes to everyone was that they were someone to be exploited...
But why did he fight? did he have fun constantly fighting? killing people? Was he on a personal quest? Doing a service to the Humanoid Empire? She did not have an answer to her questions.
She kept watching, staring at Mathelar as he fought, ignoring his previous wounds. She then turned to the vine crib, where the baby was currently sleeping. She turned to her people, a broken race, at the hands of an ambitious man.

The wounds would heal in time, of that she was certain. But what of the NOW, of what would happen she didn't know, but at least, the flicker of hope that was long extinguished in her, sprang to life by the actions of Mathelar.
Resolved, and determined she walked to where her people were watching the battle.
"Fera, who is that man? Is he a saviour?" asked a young child, of barely 6 years passed, she nodded. "Yes, Qoros, he is...And he is fighting for our freedom, we have a chance to live free and unbound...But we also have to act" she said as a brief spark of hope passed to the Ferranos.
She continued, "I will start to unbound every single one of you, and then we arm ourselves" and the hope grew to a bon fire by her words...

Both Mokkie and Mathelar jumped back, daggers and staff at the ready.
"I see you get through hardship, and difficulty...Especially in battle" she praised him, "But orders ARE orders, sorry Mat--" was all she said, as her face contorted into several different facial expressions.
It seemed as an internal battle was being waged inside her, "M-Mathelar! Strike me d-d-da-mn you MOKK-- Str-i-ike me do--wn Mathel-ar!!" she yelled as two personalities raged one against another, "Mokkie fight it!!" he hissed as Mokkie dropped to her knees, grasping her head in pain.
"Can't Math--elar! Strike m-e D-ow-n!!" she yelled in pain, Mathelar couldn't strike her down but couldn't stand for his friends to be in pain either...
..."May you be at peace...Mokkie" he choked, as he started charging at Mokkie, who started smiling, though strained it was, it made Mathelar feel worse...

......It was done, Mathelar had done what he had never thought of doing in his life...That of ending Mokkie's life...
He Screamed
Fera winced, Mathelar's scream sounded like it came from the Underworld itself. For it was full of grief, sorrow, hatred, pain...Everything rolled in one, Fera couldn't stand it and started sobbing herself, from the sheer emotion Mathelar had let loose through his scream.
Every Ferranos had felt and heard the scream clearly, and ALL of them felt Mathelar's emotions, for it was felt in his scream...

...Mathelar was still cradling Mokkie's lifeless corpse, tears streaming down, his eyes bloodshot. His daggers were several feet away from him, stained with his now passed friend's blood.
Fera stopped sobbing now, but she could still feel Mathelar's emotions, she continued with her task of freeing her people as Mathelar cradled his friend's corpse...
Now done with her task, she approached the vine crib, checking to see if the baby was fine. She grabbed the Khajiit Baby, and lifted him from the crib, and immediately the vines started deteriorating, until it was gone, like it never existed.
The baby was still asleep, ignorant of the recent events, but what puzzled her was how he could still sleep after Mathelar's scream.
Cradling the baby, in the proper way, she slowly approached the grieving Mathelar.
"...Mathelar?" she whispered to him, receiving no response, she tapped his shoulder with a free hand, gaining his attention. "...Yes" he whispered, his throat sore, the fur in his face wet from his tears.
"We have to go, there'll be guards coming to check here...They always do" she said as Mathelar did not respond for a full minute, then nodding, he slowly and gently laid Mokkie's corpse to the ground.
"..." Saying nothing, he stood up, grabbed his daggers, and turned to Fera, who slightly winced from his vision. For his eyes were bloodshot, raging, his face stuck in a vision of pure hatred. "I'm coming Eedgray, I'll come for you..." she heard him mutter as he headed to the Mine's exit with Fera and her armed people behind him.

Mathelar now stood in the mouth of the mine, Fera and her people wincing behind him due to the sun's rays. Mathelar paid them no heed, he had something more important than her people's freedom, he had to dispense revenge for Mokkie's sake.
Fera touched his shoulder, still cradling the sleeping Arthas. "Mathelar, your wounds" she said notifying him of his wounds, he turned to her and nodded, grateful for her warning, for he had completely forgotten about his wounds. So he sat down and started bandaging his most serious wounds before the lesser ones...
His wounds now out of the way, he stood up, daggers sheathed. "Stay here, the lot of you...The mansion's going to become dangerous, especially now that your out of the mine, stay inside the mine, and knock out anyone who comes to investigate the lack of communication from the mine" he ordered as Fera nodded.
Mathelar turned, and started to head off to Eedgray's mansion, "Mathelar, be careful!!" Fera yelled to him as he started running towards the mansion, questions, answers, tribulations, revelations, betrayal, and revenge is what now represented the mansion to him, and he Craved the answers...

Mathelar was now a good distance from the mines, still running towards the mansion.
He would take a while getting to the Mansion, for Eedgray's Estate, and land were extensive...
Now within shouting distance to the mansion, was when he saw the several battalions stationed outside the mansion.
'Eedgray' he thought as he neared the armed battalions, he looked upward to where the balcony was, and saw a hooded figure standing there.
Shaking his head, he looked at the battalions and noticed two things: One, that the battalions were a full mixture of armed and armored servants and guards, and Two, that at the top two battalions facing him were two extremely armored Boar men, leading the battalions.

The hooded figure looked at his battalions, ready to serve his master, "Prepare yourself!! The enemy is already near us, and threatens our master!!" he yelled to the battalions, who cheered and roared, while looking at the running figure nearing them.
"Your deaths will not be in vain, fight as you never have fought before...For Eedgray!!!" he yelled as the battalions roared with bloodlust flowing through them, and charged.
He smiled, then he made a hand motion, and a servant appeared, bowing to him. "What m'liege?" he asked, "Go to the Shani and Razzourmane tribes, and inform them that their role is finally to be fulfilled" the hooded man ordered, "Your will be done...Praise Eedgray" muttered the servant before going to do his duty. The hooded man nodded, "Praise Eedgray" he muttered as he entered the mansion.

Mathelar's eyes widened when the battalions started charging at him, roaring at him. He heard a similar roar behind him, he stopped and turned his head.
Leading the charge behind him, was Fera and her people, hardly armored and armed, but made up the lack of weapons and armor by shear determination and faith. Both charges were rapidly approaching each other, he in between. Mathelar unsheathed his bloodied daggers, and ran to Fera.
Asking a quick "Why?" he received the simple but cryptic response of, "You" she answered, and roared, her people following. Shaking his head, he ran besides Fera as they kept the charge, until both charges finally met...

"DIE!!" was all that Mathelar could hear, it wasn't a battle, it was sheer massacre for both sides. Neither servants and Ferranos were battle worthy except a few, the guards and two boar men were a complete exception.
Fera's pitchfork was bathed in blood, her eyes shining with rage, bloodlust, determination, and anger. Her people had agreed undoubtedly to helping Mathelar, and helping them they were.
Only the old, frail, and young Ferranos were left behind with a small group of armed Ferranos, the Khajiit baby was in the hands of a known Ferranos Mid-wife, the baby was in competent hands.
Mathelar jumped and twisted in mid-air, landed on a servants head, jumped again. And repeated this action until he was in distance of the two boar men, he had to either knock them out or kill them, for they were decimating the Ferranos forces. He landed in front of a Ferranos and blocked the blow that would've ended his life, "Go!" he ordered and proceeded to do combat with the two boar men.

Fera briefly looked at where Mathelar was currently fighting the Boar men, both of them being the battalion commanders.
Then turned to where her opponent was, vainly trying to slash her with a sword, her opponent pierced on her crimson pitchfork, dyed with the blood the enemy. It seemed like it would be a victory for either side, from what she reasoned.
Yells, cries, shrieks, and death roars were all around the battlefield. Mathelar heard them and ignored them, Life was fickle, especially in a battlefield such as this. Life held no one in consideration, this was something he had learned years ago...harsh but true...
Mathelar narrowed his eyes, as he dodged another Axe going to his face. 'Mathelar...' said a voice inside his head, frozen for a split second before resuming the dance of battle.
The voice reminded him of IT...Mathelar couldn't exactly hate IT, nor give sympathy to it, IT had been evolving, slowly becoming civilized even with his barbaric and sadistic side of killing.
After absorbing IT into him, he gained why exactly IT wanted out of Mathelar's body, for IT wanted to be unique, but eventually understood that IT was forever a part of Mathelar and surrendered to him. 'Mathelar....it IS me, IT' said the voice of IT as Mathelar continued battling, already slashes on the Boar men's body were appearing, through the spaces of armor.
'...IT?' Mathelar mentally asked, and after a few moments of mental silence, he heard a 'Yes'. 'I thought you dissapeared after absorbing you, back into me' he stated, he heard a primitive chuckle, 'You will never be rid of me, that easily, welp!' IT growled, in a playful way, something that momentarily scared Mathelar, while IT laughed.

'Mathelar, you will never finish with these boar men, in time' said IT, 'In Time?' Mathelar asked dodging another Axe, by the gods he hated those. '...Do you think that Eedgray is not busy? He is preparing for you in his mansion' IT stated as Mathelar frowned mentally.
'How do you know this?' he asked IT, who lowered his head down, sighed, raised his head, looking directly at Mathelar's eyes. 'Because one of the two remaining lieutenants of Eedgray is a shadow version of you' IT said, 'It's just like me, but made by Eedgray...Remember the were that came into your mind when I first took over by force, just outside of the mansion? That is him, another part of you, forcefully taken from you, and controlled by Eedgray' IT said.
It explained, 'As a part of you, I can be here whenever you need me, I have many abilities that I can put to use by your permission, Three of those being the following: Sensing another or parts of you in the world, Taking over your body when you need it be, and finally transform your body'.

'Transform my body?' Mathelar asked as he kept the boar men, they were persistent buggers. 'Remember how your body was when we fought physically? To that extent you will transform, for I am your werewolf persona' IT answered, Mathelar mentally nodded.
Mathelar twisted evading an axe, jumped, twisted in midair and landed on a Boar man's back. And thrusted his daggers in the boar man's neck, slid them out and jumped before the Axe reached him hitting the already dead Boar man's back.
As to which was lunged forward due to the impulsion of the Axe, tumbling to the bloody red grass. The Boar man's body lay still, blood pouring out of his neck, feeding the ground with his crimson liquid, as to the rest of the dead in the battlefield.

'If your my werewolf persona, where are the other two personas then?' Mathelar asked IT, who sighed. 'I...I released them when I took control of your body, while you were in a fragile state of mind in your mental graveyard of your...dear ones, friends, and victims' IT said with his head lowered. Mathelar grimly nodded, 'So I am still incompleted?' he asked.
'Sadly yes...You are you, but your human, Khajiit, and Child persona are out in the world, the real world' IT said raising his head, 'Your Magicka persona was the only one who stayed behind, for without you, she wouldn't exist and for that she is grateful' IT explained.
'One last question, then...Why are you talking like a normal person now?' Mathelar asked, IT narrowed his eyes. 'I stayed quite while I rapidly developed my speech ability into your standards' IT said, his eyes still glaring at Mathelar, who coughed nervously. 'Yes, well...Bye!!! Mathelar mentally yelled at IT, closing the mental link while he fought.
IT closed his eyes, and slumped his shoulders, a hand touched his shoulder. He turned his head, and met Shiva's loving gaze, 'You fret too much on him...He will accomplish his goal regardless of the mountain of obstacles in his way' She said. She continued,'Even if he has to cut the ties to his friends, he will eventually move on, in his own way' She said. IT frowned, 'That's what worries me' he said looking past her...
