Nish awoke in his bed, gasping for breath.

How long have I been out?

He looked around at his bedside table a book lay on it, it's cover had no writing or picture on the front to tell him what it was and he didn't feel like opening it.

"Eil-Eilo?" He groaned, sitting up. His shoulder began to prickle, causing him to throw himself back onto the bed and cry out.

"I wouldn't do that yet, were I you..." A familiar, cold voice came from across the room.

Agatha?

He sat up, pulling up his pillow to prop him up.

"W-what are you doing here?"

"In this room?" Agatha smirked, "or in your head?"

"Erm... both, I guess." Nish rubbed the back of his head, ''Where's Lilly, Corelas and Eilo? Did something happen to them? Is that why he was knocked out?''

"I come to you with a warning child... heed it or don't, I care not but it maybe vital to your quest."

"Go on." Nish was blunt, this must be important.

"So quick to trust..." Agatha replied, sounding dissapointed with him. "Your woman has been taken to the worst place possible, the palace of a scorned, proud fool."

"W-who? Tyranil? Dunlammus? Vid-"

"None..." Agatha interrupted, "it seems that you have a new enemy, one who's heart is driven by the feeling of abandonment... sound familiar?"

Nish lowered his head, it did sound familiar, it sounded like him, three years ago. Before he met Eilonwyn, back when Manja, the only good thing in his life, was gone and he had lost the will to live.

"Who... who is this poor soul?" Nish probed.

"I believe you know him as 'Ferrin."

Nish gasped, "we never wronged Ferrin... well, maybe but only when he was an ass! We went out of our way to save him, why would he do this?"

"Now that, is a good question..." Agatha replied, she sounded disinterested but her tone was supportive. "Ferrin was a proud man and pride is a dangerous sin."

"You mean... he's doing this, because... I got pissed off at him?" Nish's sympathetic tone was lost to a sea of frustration.

"Where is he? I'm going to tear his heart out!"

Agatha chuckled, she enjoyed seeing such hatred, it took her back to her youth.

"Not here you're not... you must go to the White Gold tower to save her." She corrected him.

"Then that's where I'll go, Corelas has the spear, he can take on Vidron, especially with Lilly's help."

"So... are you ready to murder an army of thalmor for revenge?" There was no trace of care this time, Agatha was mocking him and Nish knew why.

Those thalmor were trained operatives and he was a punk with a dagger, he didn't even have a shirt to his name.

All he had was skill, instinct and the will to save Eilonwyn from that prick's hands.

"Not revenge..." Nish corrected her. "I'm doing this to bring her home."

"What about Ferrin? Surely his rise to power cannot go unchecked..."

Nish sighed, she had a point. Ferrin would just come after them and even if he pardoned them by some miracle, that idiot would have control of the empire.

"In that case, we'll kill Ferrin." Nish decided, though he had a feeling that this was going to be one of those 'easier said than done' tasks.
