#once forgotten

Finished the new set of covers for The Dragonblood Saga.  I’m really happy with DQ in particular, since that was what the original cover was meant to look like, but I never got it to work.

Huh, was packing up my stuff to get to school and since my sis took our only computer bag I decided to get a bigger bag. Once I found one i started to empty it and found these cards, back when I went on a trip to Africa with a school group(which was 5 years ago). Huh kinda something cool to find of the past.

Epilogue: Secrets

I refrained from sharing what else Hermaeus Mora had told me during our final conversation. I had the distinct feeling that, if I did, Neloth would want to use me as a test subject, and that wasn’t something I was exactly keen on.

Chapter 12: Summit

"Fate decreed that you had to die so that I could win my freedom," he cried. "I am done being Hermaeus Mora's pawn."

I laughed coldly at that. "And what will you do if I don't?"

Chapter 11: Reluctance

I felt my blood turn cold in my veins at the sudden thought. He wouldn't. He was a s'wit, yes, but he'd never stoop that low… would he? But, the longer I thought about it, the more certain I became. How else could they have known my real name unless someone who knew had told them?

There was only one other person on the gods-forsaken island who knew.

Damn him! Damn him to Oblivion!

Chapter 10: Heart

I didn't particularly like the look in his eyes. Narrowing my own, I started to turn away.

"Not that I don't love our little talks, Gan, but I'm leaving. Places to go, things to do… You know."

"I do," he said, inclining his head a bit. "Perhaps I'll see you again."

I prayed that wasn't the case.

Chapter 9: Apocrypha

"I won't serve you, monster. I just want to defeat Miraak."

Mora chuckled. The eyes blinked slowly. "You will serve me, willing or not. All who seek after the secrets of the world are my servants. I know what you want: to use your power as Dragonborn to bend the world to your will."

"Liar," I hissed.

"Am I? As you are, you cannot hope to surpass Miraak. He served me well and he was… rewarded. I can grant you the same power as he wields, but all knowledge has its price."

Chapter 8: Forbidden

My head broke the surface of the water and I gasped for air. Every cube we took raised shut off the corresponding pumps, raising the water levels again. The fifth cube was still clutched tight in my fist. With streaming eyes, I watched Neloth climb out of the water and walk past me while I gulped in several breaths. Of course the damned wizard had a waterbreathing spell.

"That was easier than I expected. I'm glad you were here to do all the hard work."

I opened my mouth to retort, but all that came out was a cough. He ignored me.
