With the stranger dealt with, Kevin got on with his journey to the priory of the nine, though he had no idea what was in store, for as we all know Kevin had many enemies until he killed them all, still many people want Kevin dead.

With that in mind Kevin continued on his way passing through treacherous ruins, forts, forests and crossing dangerous seas, Kevin finally ended up in Cyrodiil. A place he hasn't been for quite some time mostly since the last time he was there he single handedly defeated the physical form of Mehrunes Dagon and sheogorath which lead to the series of events were the emperor died and all, but they're stories for another time.

Kevin armed himself, prepared for anything and with good reason, just minutes after he arrived in Cyrodiil he was attacked by a band of xivilai the most fearsome of all the daedra. Though it was a more challenging battle then the bandits of skyrim it was still an easy fight for Kevin who decapitated them with ease and continued on his way. Instead of going straight to the priory though Kevin first went to the imperial city for supplies and mead.

Kevin wandered into a few shops and found most of the things for sale useless until he stumbled upon the axe of hatred, which of course caught Kevin's attention, for he is in a constant state of hate. He swiftly bought it and went on his way. Several days had passed and Kevin seemed to be getting nowhere anytime soon and as a result he decided to take a break. Kevin started a campfire and hunted several boars to appease his appetite with the mead he previously had bought.

It took him weeks to finally get to the priory of the nine and on his way he collected several heads for his dear child Jerkins VanNord. Kevin pushed open the large wooden doors of the priory with such force the doors nearly came off their hinges, but luckily didn't. Kevin entered and what he saw was as unimpressive as the first time he saw it, there was an old dusty stairwell with an insignia on the ground in the middle of the first floor room, which he new was the way to the place he had to go. Without hesitation or Kevin's usual tendencies of stealing which he begrudgingly and narrowly avoided. Kevin pulled out the ring he was given by the knights of the nine the first time he was there and inserted it in the middle of the insignia. As Kevin stood up the insignia slowly started to become a stairwell. Kevin slowly walked down the stairs and started to see what seemed to be the armoury (but looked as old and unusable as the last time Kevin saw it) with two large wood and iron doors in front of him.

After stepping into the armoury Kevin stole basically everything before he violently opened the two large doors, and stepped into the dimly blue lit ancient stone room, though the room was completely empty with no signs of life. There was nothing apart from the armour of the crusader including the sword, shield and mace of the crusader with a note sitting on the armour. The note read: You must walk as the pilgrims did and restate your loyalty with the divines, you must regain their favour for a power now exists that can match your power. Kevin you must be prepared.
