The Birth of Ruin

The Dirty Daedra

"You're sure the Xivkyn guy is in here?" Necrogoth asks.

"Yes now hush, he could be anywhere." Godsbody says in reply. He didn't know much about the Xivkyn other then they were minions of Molag Bal, the Daedric prince of brutality and schemes. "Let's keep moving." Godsbody takes a step around a bend in the tunnel.

"You think I wouldn't notice you, mortal?" A strange distorted voice says. "I may be a brute, but I'm not stupid." Kuav'ath stands in the tunnel facing Godsbody and Necrogoth. "I figured the elf girl would send someone after me. So be it. Let's get this over with, shall we?" Kuav'ath pulls out a staff, Necrogoth as well. Godsbody pulls out two swords.

"Yes, we shall." Godsbody says then runs at the big Daedra with his swords pointed outward. Kuav moves his hands in an upward gesture as if he's magically pulling something out of the ground, and that he does. A skeleton crawls out of the ground and runs at Godsbody. He doesn't know what to do so he throws his hands up in front of him. The skeleton explodes and knocks Godsbody off his feet.

"You know what the funny thing is?" Godsbody hears Necrogoth say. Godsbody gets to his feet, disoriented. He looks back at Necrogoth to see him do the same gesture as Kuav'ath. Another skeleton scratches his way out of the ground, but this time the skeleton explodes in Kuav'ath's face.

Once Godsbody isn't disoriented, he changes form. Normally, Godsbody is large in his normal form, but this time he changed where he was only slightly taller then a mortal. He could still fit in the sewer tunnels though. Godsbody runs at Kuav again. Seeing the large Daedra running at him, Kuav rolls backwards to dodge Godsbody.

Godsbody throws himself at Kuav and knocks him over. Godsbody switches the swords to his back arms and pinned Kuav down with his front arms. "No hard feelings, just a sacrifice for Lord Dagon." Godsbody stabs Kuav'ath in the chest.

"I will have my revenge, Godsbody." Kuav'ath chokes out. "This will not be the end of me. I will... kill you.." Kuav'ath goes limp and Godsbody stands again. Then a few seconds later, Kuav'ath's body disappears from from the sewer.

"What... are you?" Necrogoth looks at Godsbody in surprise. "Are you even Jurgan?" Necrogoth crosses his arms.

"I'm a Daedra, just like the one we just killed. I'm what they call a Ruinach." Godsbody informs the young Nord.

"You look like Mehrunes Dagon... with more hair." Necrogoth comments.

"Yeah... I get that a lot." Godsbody opens an oblivion portal. "I've got business elsewhere. Maybe we'll meet again some day." All Necrogoth did was nod as Godsbody walked though the portal to Oblivion.

"What you doin back? Dagon banished you. Get out." An older Ruinach named Denkyllrak stands before Godsbody. Denkyllrak pulls out two swords with his front arms.

"As a matter of fact. I finished my task, and Dagon will unbanish me." Godsbody crosses his front set of arms. "Take me to lord Dagon."

"Fine little Ruinach. If you failed, Dagon will punish." Godsbody nods. The older Ruinach starts puts his swords away and walking away, Godsbody follows. "Don't anger Dagon. Ends badly." Godsbody just nods.

Godsbody follows the Ruinach to one of Dagon's spots. This time, Dagon was only a smaller version of himself. Dagon walks over to the two Ruinachs, and they both get on their knees. "I did as you asked, Lord Dagon. I killed the Xivkyn Kuav'ath and the Dremora  Zor'aciua." Godsbody informs him.

"Good. You've done well, little Ruinach. Who are the elves that helped you?" Godsbody wasn't expecting the question. Then again, Dagon was probably watching Godsbody the whole time.

"Nysaiah and Aranith from Seyda Neen." He says.

"Ah yes, Nysaiah. One of the ones that stole you." Dagon stays silent for a moment, then waves one of his hands in a dismissive gesture. "We'll deal with the elves later. I have a new task for you, Godsbody." Dagon turns his attention Denkyllrak. "Leave us."

The older Ruinach doesn't say anything, he just gets up and leaves. "I spoke with the Xivkyn and Dremora. They say Molag Bal is planning something, you will go and figure out what it is. You are restored to your status as Lord of Ruinachs as well. Return to me when you find something out. Well done, Godsbody." Dagon turns and walks away.

"Well," Godsbody says to no one. "Looks like I'm going back to Tamriel." He then opens a portal to the mortal realm and walks though. Once again in his form of Jurgan the Nord, Godsbody starts his search for information about Molag Bal's plots. This time, he starts his search in Elsweyr, the home of the Khajiiti people.

"This one knows when one is far from home." Godsbody turns to see a short Khajiit looking up at him. "Jo'anir wonders why this Nord is so far from Skyrim?"

"Just passing though. I'm Jurgan." Godsbody says with a friendly smile.

"This one is Jo'anir Solrabbi. Fighter and friend. What brings you on your way though Elsweyr, Jurgan?" Jo'anir is a dark colored Khajiit with darker marks across his fur. Godsbody noticed that Jo'anir had two swords, and he looked like he knew how to use them. He was also armored.

"Just traveling and picking up some gossip. Have you heard anything lately? Anything involving Daedric princes?" Godsbody asks. He didn't know if anyone would know about Molag Bal's plans, but it was worth a shot. "I heard Molag Bal might be planning something, I'm not sure what it is though."

"Yes. This one knows about Molag Bal. There was someone who acted against him. They called him the Vestige. Let's just say, Molag Bal is not a merciful prince. They covered up the vestige's death to not cause panic, but this one has eyes and ears everywhere."  Jo'anir winks. "This one can't tell you too much though. There's people taking care of the situation."

"Like who? People are scared of Molag Bal and if he killed the one person who'd stand against him, why would anyone else stand against him?" Godsbody replies.

"This one agrees. Jo'anir wouldn't stand against the god of schemes. He doesn't know what they will do, but until then, he lives his life. Anyway, Jo'anir has things he must do. See you around, friend."

"Alright, Jo'anir. Uh, it was nice meeting you." Jo'anir nods, and walks away. Godsbody leaves in the opposite direction.
