As soon as Odahviing landed near the Lady Stone, Ammra immediately inspected the standing stone. After a few moments, grunted in annoyance as she found out the Lady Stone did not have what she sought. Without further ado, they headed to Reach where Lover Store was situated. Finding the same result, Ammra yelled in anger.

"DAMN! Why don't they just tell me where their power locations are!" she kicked a sack but then screamed in pain for the sack contain solid rock. "Jesus Christ!"

"There she goes again," Odahviing said solemnly as he watched her from afar. When the dragon saw Miraak was about to approach her, he added, "Let her cool down."

"Her yelling might attract forsworn nearby."

"I will be there to defend her," Odahviing replied to which Miraak did not respond. He just smiled to see Ammra sitting while hugging her knees—her usual gesture whenever she was upset after being nagged by Lydia. Odahviing noticed his expression and let out a low growl. "I am surprised to know you still not do any treason on her, dovahkiin."

"So am I." he replied, not wanting to give more answers.

The dragon shifted and stood to its feet when they saw Ammra approaching. "Done with your tantrum?" Miraak teased but Ammra just growled. "Where's next?"

"Dawnstar. We'll meet the priest of Mara." Miraak narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry, I knew him and I am sure he is not Sanguine." This time Miraak's change of expression made Ammra realized her mistake. She shouldn't have said that Daedric's name for it indicated she knew what happened.

"So, you remember?"

"No." She snapped while walked passing him and mounted Odahviing. "I don't remember it."

Miraak crossed his arms. "You are a terrible liar, little one." He smirked. "You owe me a thank you for taking care of you while you were having fun with him."

"I was not having fun. I was under a spell and he kidnapped me..." Miraak raised his eyebrow and Ammra just realized he was giving a false accusation on purpose so Ammra corrected the wrong part which exactly showing that she remembered all.

"A simple thank you is enough, Dragonborn." He said in a calm proud voice.

"Guh! Fine! Thank you...Miraak for saving me from the kidnapper."

"And?" He teased her, enjoying the sight of embarrassed younger Dragonborn.

"Geez, Odahviing, let's leave him here!" Miraak chuckled then mounted the dragon. After some time when she finally got over her embarrassment, "Hey, I did not do anything stupid while I was drunk, right?" she asked quietly but Ammra could sense his smirk.

"When did you not do stupid things?" he replied. Ammra let out a loud 'Tsk'

She was silent again for some time then saying, "Thanks again for saving me." She paused. "At this rate, I might not return you to your master." He giggled but Miraak felt his heart skip a bit. Instinctively he grabbed her one hand, making her startled.

Slowly she looked up behind her saw his deep blue eyes gazing down intently as if piercing her very soul. "Is it true? Do you really mean it?" he asked.

"Doesn't he want to return to Apocrypha so bad? But why his tone of voice said the opposite?" Ammra was confused. "Well...don't be alarmed. Of course, I will return you. That's what you want, right?" she caught a hint of disappointment in his eyes but Miraak brushed it and turned away.
