The hour was late when she had finished a chapter concerning Quagmire. She put the book away and sat still by her table. She took a deep breathe as her eyes rolled back into her head and her consciousness left the world of the mortals. She felt herself embraced by a darkness far beyond any human understanding. A normal mortal being would have gone mad by the mere feeling of the darkness, but she however welcomed it, felt comforted by it. She knew it wasn't there to harm her. She knew who was waiting for her within it even though she couldn't see her.

"My child", said a voice as cold as a thousand needles in her heart. It was a good pain. "You have come."

"Aye", answered Mara. "I need your guidance once again, great one."

"Great one?" Vaermina laughed within the impenetrable darkness. "My child, there is no need to sound like a mere apprentice. You are my beloved daughter. My offspring in the mortal realm. More beautiful than any dream I have bestowed upon the world. But tell me what it is you seek, and I shall grant it."

"I have been thinking, mother, about myself these past few weeks. Will my life always be like this?"

"And what do you mean with 'like this'?" asked the Daedric prince.

"The hatred and intolerance they harbor against me I can take", she said. "But the loneliness..."

"That is to be expected, my sweet daughter. And I am an understanding god. You have inherited a gift few mortals could even begin to comprehend. But there is no need to suffer for it any longer. A dream have foretold otherwise."

"How so?"

Even though Mara couldn't see her mother's face she could tell that the Daedric prince was smiling warmly to her. "Can't your dreams tell you what your future holds, little one?"

Mara shook her head. "I have yet to master your gift of truesight mother."

"Very well then", said Vaermina triumphantly. "I hereby grant you the visions of truth that lie within the borders of my realm. However, do not stray among the vast knowledge these sights bring, little one. Do not see further than your hearts desire. You may not like what the future holds."

A vision surged through Mara's mind as she saw through her dreams what the future would bring. She saw a group of people heading towards her hometown, however they weren't people, not really. They all wore the face of that of a god. And it scared her. From what she had seen in her dreams, she wasn't easily frightened, but this dream... this vision scared her....

"They will be here soon", she muttered as she regained consciousness and woke up still sitting at the table.
