Just a Skyrim fanfic: Extended cut

Warnings

(Leonidas walks into a room to see the eye of Magnus now in the center)

Tolfdir: Hello again, Leonidas. What can I do for you?

Leonidas: Urag suggested I come and see you

Tolfdir: Did he now? Does he have any information about our wonderful discovery?

Leonidas: It is called the eye of Magnus. We confirmed it by referencing a magic artifact book with a book called the night of tears

Tolfdir: Is that the one about the eye buried beneath Saarthal? The very thing men and mer fought over? I'll have to make a point of re reading it. I don't recall all of the details. I just can't seem to tear myself away. Whatever this really is, it's beauty is like nothing I have ever seen before. If you'll allow me to indulge myself for a moment, I thought I might make a few observations. I'm sure you've already noticed the markings. They're quite unlike anything we've seen before

Leonidas: Even I don't recognize it. Not Ayleid, not Dwemer, not Daedric, not even elven. No languages that I recognize

Tolfdir: Quite curious indeed. Now, I'm not sure you're quite as attuned as I am to the orb yet, given my prolonged exposure to it and my extensive years of experience, but can you feel that?

(Leonidas and Tolfdir both feel the magic radiating from the eye)

Leonidas: Yes

Tolfdir: This marvelous object practically radiates magic, and yet it's unlike anything I've ever felt before. Arch mage Savos Aren is already hard at work, and hopefully we'll have more information soon

(Ancano walks in)

Leonidas: (Whispers) What now?

Ancano: I'm afraid I must intrude. It is urgent that I speak with Leonidas immediately

Tolfdir: This is most inappropriate. We are involved in some serious research here

Ancano: Yes, I have no doubt of it's gravity. This however is a matter that cannot wait

Tolfdir: Well, I'm quite sure I've never been interrupted like this before. The audacity!

(Tolfdir sighs)

Tolfdir: I suppose we'll continue this at some later time, when we can avoid interruptions

(Tolfdir walks away, leaving Leonidas with Ancano)

Ancano: I need you to come with me immediately. Lets go

Leonidas: What's so important?

Ancano: Allow me to clarify the situation. I'd like to know why there's someone claiming to be from the psijic order here in the college. More importantly, I'd like to know why he's asked for you specifically

Leonidas: For me?

Ancano: Yes. So we're going to have a little chat with him and find out exactly what it is he wants

Leonidas: Why does it concern you? Aren't you just an advisor here?

Ancano: Technically, that is true. But I still report to the aldmeri dominion, and I cannot ignore this situation

Leonidas: (Thinks) Translation, you're a nosy Thalmor spy

Ancano: Don't worry, you can return to your petty squabbles and meaningless research as soon as this matter is resolved. You are going to speak to this monk and find out why he is here. And then he will be removed from college grounds
