(Damned, what a cool way to get a divorce. Although that proves considerably harder for Sorin because his wife can fly...)

Sorin returned to the College eventually, eschewing conventional transport and flying the whole way, depleting his magicka. It would come back soon enough.

Onmund greeted him as he walked into the hall of the elements. Sorin entered the Archmage's quarters without bothering to even knock or announce his arrival.

No mage blocked Sorin or attacked him. They were more afraid of him than of Alyssa.

Mannimarco greeted him and Alyssa awoke from her meditative state. She said "didn't you have a contract? Why are you back so early?"

"I heard of the conception of our child. For your safety, it has been arranged for you to return to our High Rock estate. It is easier to protect you there."

"Who will helm the College when I am not around? We still need an Archmage."

"I will do it. We all know how powerful I am so I will be unchallenged in your absence. Vauban! Come!"

Master Vauban appeared in short order, saying "Shadow Wraith, is there anything you wish of me?"

"Because of Alyssa's condition, I will be acting Archmage for up to the next two years. Protect her all the way back to High Rock, will you? Announce my ascension!"

"Yes, Shadow Wraith."

Sorin frowned. Becoming Archmage would give him too much public exposure, but his wife and kid were more important. Screw secrecy, then. He had to take up the mantle.

Vauban announced the change in Archmage again. No mage dared to question him. The Shadow Wraith was not to be trifled with.

(He might be more amenable to some treaties, but less amenable to others. Generally, he will restructure the College from a fringe sect into a real cult)
