As I find myself standing outside of the sanctuary I force myself to frown, guess I got those skills from pretending to be sick so I didn't have to go to school.

I walk in and "sadly" walk to Astrid..the old hag.

"I'm assuming it is done..?" She asks coldly

"Y-yeah...."

"I know it couldn't have been easy...but it had to be done...did you at least get a nice goodbye?"

Oh only if you knew

"Yes..i was able to thank him for being my friend..." I whisper

"Good...now! Go see Babette...we have some intriguing news" she's says more perky

I nod and make my way to a pacing Babette

"How could I have been so blind! It was right in front of me!" She mutters to herself

"Uh...does this have to do with the septim family?" I ask

"DOES IT?! ISLA HAS BEEN RIGHT UNDER OUR NOSES!" she scream while slinging her arms around

I wait for her to regain her composer and listen

"The mirrors! How you found your dad...it all makes sense...the reason it's so...messed up on the other side is because...its sheogoraths realm! J-just...the part that reflects our realm! She's there! How could I have not known...." she paces again

"Wait....you mean the deadric prince of madness?" I ask

"Yeah yeah, probably the same guy who controls your boyfriends mind....i-i mean....I'm so sorry! I forgot and uh..." she then drops her voice into a whisper "did you actually kill him? Please say you didn't"

I look around and motion for her to follow me to a safe area.

...

"I couldn't do it..." I say looking at the ground

"Good!" Babette says happy

"Wait...you're...happy?"

"Jane...i may not be completely fond with Cicero..but I see he is important to you, it would be screwed up if you actually did....i wouldn't judge you but.." Babette says before looking at me suspicious "....you didn't get offended when I called him your boyfriend..."

"Anyway! Back to isla" I laugh nervously

"Nonono! Tell me!"

"IMAYHAVEKISSEDHIMOHMYTALOSIJUSTREALIZEDITACTUALLYHAPPENED"

"WHAT?!"

I grab the sides of my face and let out a screech

"Babette....what. in. Oblivion."

"That's all you Jane"

"Anyway....how do we get to her?"

"Actually....we need one more little thing before we find her" she smirks

"What?"

"Sanguine"

What?! Is she crazy?!

"Why would we need him?!" I ask

"Well....akatosh has Martin and Sapphire...but if I am not wrong Martin...before he was a priest....had some history with sanguine...if we can talk him into getting their souls then taking them to sheogoraths realm..."

"Isla could be with them again..." I say under my breath

"That...is Why I've been looking for isla...she doesn't deserve what happened to her...neither does Martin and Sapphire.." she's say more quiet
