Xiaji-Teel got out after Vorngar and starred in shock, "By Seth, the marshes are burning, not even the Daedra could do this" She dropped the Wamasu hide relieving herself of most of the weight and jumped into the river where large groups of Saxhleel were hiding, she asked the nearest what had happened and was told that the Dunmer had invaded.


Xijai-Teel told them to pass on a message to everyone else they met, "Go to the inner marsh, tell everyone you meet to follow with you and not stray from the rivers; The An-Xileel will keep you safe. the Elves will not get far."
 
Kelkemmeriil growled and looked to the rest of the group "So are we going to watch, join, or cower?" He didn't want to assert himself over the group as that wasn't his job. His Temper was fuming as so many Argonians were getting away.

Most of the Argonians listened to their brother and did so without hesitating. They swam to the south as the creatures in the water followed out of panic and fear. Kelkemmeriil not hearing a response from the group started walking East to where they needed to be to catch their ship to move onward.
 
Xiaji-Teel was an active member of the An-Xileel and as such she had an obligation to travel to Lilmoth to inform them of what was happening on the border, using her Natural abilities in the water and the currents of the rivers Xijai-Teel could be on the other side of Black Marsh within a few hours.

Oreesu just remained silent, and followed kelk. There was nothing she could possibly do now about the fire, and thus she intended to ignore it. She would casually walk away from the event and wouldn't mention it, she couldn't see the other side of the fire or what caused it. 
 
An argonian, struck by an arrow, fell into Xa-Raku's arms. It was too late for him, and he let him down gently - his healing magic could not bring back the dead, "Two hundred years has dulled their memory, it seems." Xa-Raku mused, rolling up his sleeves, "They have forgotten what it is to challenge us." Xa-Raku ignored the fires for now, they would not last in such a moist climate anyhow. Instead, he focused instead on the dunmeri spreading it. His fighting style had been invented, centuries ago during the Arnesian War, to counter House Dres' slavers. There could not be a more appropriate time to use it. He used his unarmored mobility to outmaneuver their arrows and throwing knives, sweeping toward them unrelentingly, even catching a few and throwing them back. With a burst of restoration magic, he fueled his speed to even greater levels, and swung his fists into the first target, striking at gaps in the bonemold. Joints, underneath the helmet to the throat, the back of the knee. Yet while he fought, his thoughts did not cease. Why attack now, just as there were rumors of a daedric invasion? Should they not instead be bolstering their defenses, rather than sending them into the Marshes to fight a land war no nation has ever won? It didn't make sense - but more than that, it was suspicious. Too well-timed.

Xijai-Teel made for land at Branchmont just South of Thorn, she needed a boat if she was going to make it to Lilmoth without incident; She made her way to the Inn and shouted to all the patrons, "The Elves are coming, they're Invading the marshes." She took a seat at the bar and ordered a drink.


Half the patrons had left and the rest were just talking amongst themselves about how the Elves wouldn't even make it to Riverwalk before getting stuck in the mud and being cleaned up by the An-Xileel; The Innkeeper spoke up to Xijai-Teel in Jel, "Hey, why are you scaring away the customers?" Xijai-Teel responded with a question, "Tell me, where can I find a boat? I need to get to Lilmoth." To which the Innkeeper replied with, "Oh forget it, Those Hatch-Daks will be back in a few hours anyway; as for the boat I can point you to Gam-Kai, he runs a service around Black Marsh, he's usually here today."


Xijai-Teel polished off her drink and headed out to the docks to see Gam-Kai.

Gam-Kai was out on his Ship with a crew moving crates around preparing for the next voyage. He glanced out unto the sea which was covered by shadow, he looked back and saw Xijai-Teel on the docks. He was the only ship left on the docks, "Hello stranger, what brings you to the docks today?" he asked.
 
Xiaji-Teel greeted Gam-Kai, "I need to get to Lilmoth, how much for your rowboat?" Gam-Kai answered politely, "for 20 gold you can hop aboard, as soon as we get the cargo secured we're leaving."


Xiaji-Teel handed Gam-Kai the Dwemer spear belonging to the missing Dunmer woman, "Make it quick."

Gam-Kai secured the cargo and then let Xiaji-Teel on the ship. As soon as this occured Gam-Kai set sail, the entire eastern coast of Tamriel was good for sailing due to it's Semi-Diurnal tides, Gam-Kai and Xiaji-Teel began to sail South East against the crashing tides, and into the Sea of Dreams.
 
Riara was extremely distressed. At this point she might as well be a psychopath, pacing back in forth through the burning forest casting as many ice spells around her as possible. She finally got tired of recasting ice, and just make shifted some Ice armor onto her skin. Really thick ice armor, to make herself cool and protect herself from the elements.


She approached Kelk at the front of the group and asked


"So, what exactly should we be looking for again?" with the hood pulled over her head, and her voice sounding different from her being stressed.

Kelkemmeriil Looked to the Falmer, "Wherefore art thou perturbed?" He was looking for the cause of her anxiety.

"Does thou forget where thy originate?" She snapped. Trying to get Kelk to remember where she comes from.


Even though deep down in Riara's mind she knew that being distressed in heat was only a mental weakness, knowing only fire can really hurt her. But she still can't stand the heat for some reason, even if it doesn't hurt her she's always had anxiety from it. No matter the circumstances.

"I hath come from Alinor, thine question hath neither helped us reach our satisfactory goal nor moved this inquiry any further." Kelkemmeriil was a little bit angered by her question to his. then he observed her struggling more and more as her armour dwindled. "Ahh I see thine issue. Come hither Riara." he said as he stopped and prepared his hands.

Riara approached Kelk while her armor melted. Wondering what he was gonna do, ready to use self defense if need be as well.

"thou'll need to get closer" he said pulling her towards him. Then he waved his hands in the air they were glowing a white blue tint, as he finished drawing the symbols in the air a cloud formed above them and a bubble around them, in the bubble it began to snow and a chill fell upon them. Kelkemmeriil Larethor looked at her, "Doth thou feel better?"

She shook her head in approval. 


And continued to walk alongside Kelk 


"Why don't we spread out to find these boats you speak of." She said switching back to her simplistic language. 
 
Xijai-Teel sat on the deck of the ship watching the coast as it passed by, massive plumes of smoke and fire in the distance behind them; There would be no way the An-Xileel hadn't seen the smoke from Lilmoth.
 
She shook her head in approval. 


And continued to walk alongside Kelk 


"Why don't we spread out to find these boats you speak of." She said switching back to her simplistic language. 

 "That would be because I know precisely where the boat should be at this moment. We have little to worry about in spite of the huge ammounts of flame." Kelkemmeriil said as they walked ever closer to the coast.
 
As Lyrillia small troop continued raiding in her name, King Rerodras of Morrowind arrived with his main force. She was now able to leave her forces, so she got ready to teleport back to her stone anchor that she gave Kelkemeriil. As she began her teleportation she felt a fabric around her before it burst completely open. She also saw the book that Kelkemeriil was reading earlier and hid that in her robe.

"Hmmm..." Kelkemmeriil looked down at the girl who was now covered in mud and in a small puddle of water. Kelkemmeriil cast a spell fixing his satchel and another to put the books, and other items inside of it. He noticed that the Oghma was gone but did not worry for he knew that who ever had it did not have it for long. He looked at Lyriilia and pulled her up with telekinesis and spoke. "Thou should have given warning of some kind, thou art lucky to not be doused in flame."

"I am the one who hast cast the flame,


From the land northwards to where I came"

"Right, The boat is not far, I can already taste the ocean." That was a lie he could really see it but he did not want to say that he could. "Follow." he waved to the others as they had just made it out of the tree line into Glades and across it he saw the Imperial ship. But the glades would be an issue, he saw many Crocodiles in the water and did not want to anger them so he started to walk the winding paths of the everglades.

Riara would continue walking alongside Kelk 


"What do you think about the tales of Crocodile men?" She smirked, speaking of the Werecrocodiles she read about while she stayed put in morrowind. She didn't believe they existed, because she hadn't seen them yet. But she wanted to know if anyone else did.

Xa-Raku ran back to the others, shaking blood from his knuckles. His intent had of course not been to claim victory but to delay for the others to survive. That was the argonian method of war - guerilla tactics. They would leave, and in time the fires would die, and then they would return and slay a few more. Then they would flee and repeat the process again. A victory by inches, by a thousand cuts.


He took a moment to center his breathing, rolling a shoulder to free it of stiffness. He saw Lyrillia appear out of the altmer's bag and appeared visibly confused at her admission, "You are responsible for this attack?" He asked her, though he didn't seem especially angry, slowly pacing about, "How strange. Are you not here to prevent the coming of daedra? As forecast by the Blind Moth-Men?" Indeed, to him her priorities seemed highly misplaced, "When they come, it shall not be our people who suffer most from it." He shrugged his shoulders, sitting down to meditate, "It appears you have no interest in saving Tamriel after all? Very well, then I shall wait here until you have decided amongst yourselves." It wasn't a bad point - indeed, if there truly was a daedric invasion to come, now wasn't exactly the time to launch an invasion and make their jobs harder. But Xa-Raku had not come here to sort their problems out for them. He would simply wait until they had made up their mind. After all, he couldn't do his job as a guide until they had done so.

"I have seen rarer oddities than where crocodiles in the Isles of Summerset, yet they are a beast I would rather not encounter, but I have no qualms shoving the vermin back into their piss riddled mud." He was remembering his childhood and Summerset. "I wish to go back to my homeland when this is all over and find my peace. I would like to die where I was born end the cycle as nature would intend." The thoughts filled him with joy for the moment. They were ever closer to the boat and to their real trials.
