The long suffering sigh from the massive man made the mer’s blood boil. “I am before you, right now, you know that right? It seems your pride is only overshadowed by your blindness. I am the Ninth Divine, Ondolemar. A man ascended into godhood, and unfortunately for you, your displeasure at the notion does not change that. Your loathing for man is admittedly disconcerting for the Divines, this hatred shared by all of the Thalmor. What, Ondolemar, are you so afraid of?”
Ondelmar’s reaction was instinctual and violent, the anger seething through a throat shredded by cold. “We fear nothing! The race of men are barbarians! Savages beating at the gates of civilization! The mer are a naturally superior population, highborn and blessed by the Eight true divines to lead men out of squalor and darkness!” He would have expected that Talos’ face would be twisted by rage at such proclamations, but instead the man’s features reflected only a quiet sympathy. Somehow, seeing it only made the Thalmor more incensed. “I am saddened that you feel that way, Ondolemar. A smart mer like you should hold so much promise… but your heart is so twisted by needless hate. But as I said, this is a place of judging, and likely you will be here for a long time. You’ll need shelter soon, there is a camp nearby with good people who would give you shelter, help you. As the dead, you cannot die again, but you can wish that you could many times over.” He curled his lip at the very idea of bedding down with a bunch of humans. As Talos turned and began to walk towards the camp Ondolemar stubbornly stood where he was. If a Divine could look troubled, Talos certainly did, his pale gaze turning back to the altmer standing proudly in the merciless white of a snow hostile to his golden flesh. Such tenuous armor that pride, and it would no nothing against the snow. A snarl, dark and inhuman rumbled in the endless blizzard of the distance. “There are beasts on this plane, things that would make the wilds of Tamriel look tame. You cannot presume to survive out here on your own. Your enchantments do not work any longer. Just follow me, you will meet them, and you can decide from there.” Talos could see the seething of rage, fear and frustration in that proud form. But there the ninth Divine waited, with infinite patience. Defiance echoed in Ondolemar’s golden eyes, but a ravenous howl from the white quickened the altmer’s heart. As much as he wanted to defy, the bitterness of the cold was too great, and without his enchantments to fortify him, his magicka was being eroded away by the effort of sustaining a spell to shield from the most biting cold. The only heat in all of this wretched place burned in his stomach and in his cheeks as at last Ondolemar lifted his feet and began to follow. He didn’t understand how, but they seemed to be moving faster towards the woods than he had when he was walking on his own. Perhaps it was just in his mind, but he could have sworn he’d walked for hours before Talos’ arrival with little or no progress. Now, they were already well into the trees. His lips pursed as he began to wonder if he would ever have made any progress without the Divine’s help. The idea of such dependence made his blood grow even colder, and his increasingly tense gaze burned into the broad back of the once-man. The cover of trees offered a pleasant shelter from the wind, even if the darkness of their twisted bulk was disconcerting. But then, through the dark he could see a flickering of warm firelight and the sound of laughter. His sharp altmer ears picked up the tone, and his steps grew stiff as he recognized voices that could only belong to humans. Ondelmar’s gaze snapped accusingly to the Divine, but the man just smiled in that disgustingly serene manner as he gestured Ondolemar forward and the two of them started to walk into camp.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
