Corelas glanced around, he had no desire to sleep... It wasn't even late night yet and there was so much of this room that the former thalmor had yet to explore. Corelas went over to Xeran's writing bureau, the most interesting piece of furniture in the room. He started off by opening the draws of the bureau, drawing several items from it. Parchment, quills, ink...

Corelas then noticed that he had grabbed something different, heavier, sturdier...

It was, judging by the shape of it, a book. He drew it out, half expecting it to be errotica but he was surprised to see that it was a diary of sorts. "My life chronicled: Volume MD (1500)"

"That should make for a stimulating read..." Corelas mumbled as he stood up, he was used to reading diaries, it used to be his job afterall. The altmer opened it and sat back on the bed, hoping for someting that could at least pass some time...

12th Heartfire 4E 215

"Something unusual happened today, my hands are still trembling! 

''I was in my lab, bored to tears as I made another box of potions for a client, when a knock was heard at the front door. One of the empties got it and escorted them to my living quarters, then he went to bother me...''

What was ever so peculiar: Is that this woman truly had no idea why she was here, just 'investigating.'

''Of course, I saw an opportunity. After all, 3 empties are always better than two but when I saw that she was a mage and that she wasn't thick with dirt, alarm bells began to ring in my head. 'Have the mage's guild tracked me down?' I thought to myself as I approached her. ''

''Fortunately, my concerns were for naught but she was persistent, she didn't buy my stories about the empties that they were recovering skooma adicts. I guess I need a new lie...''

Corelas turned the page, it was obvious that he was talking about Lilly, which made the next bit even more disturbing.

''The snooty bitch wanted to examine one of my empties, I didn't want her freeing them, so I calmly told her that they were being medicated and that I'd rather not risk another mage looking at them. She then told me, that my spells and potions seemed to be making them worse. I miss the authority of being a house wizard, I wouldn't even use magic to show her, her place. I'd just strike her, once, as hard as I could. Sadly, I didn't know how capable she was, I am getting on years now and a powerful witch or a necromancer could be the death of me and then just think of the poor empties. ''

As far as wits go, I had the upper hand, I''t had never crossed her mind that I could remove a person's soul with something as simple as a cup of tea... which I kindly offered the little harlot, unable to hide my excitement. I watched her swallow it and as it went down her, ungreatful, little neck, I noticed how... perfectly made it was. I could quite easily wrap my hands around it and it would be a perfect fit, a good thing to note, if I ever pursue my desires of strangling the life out of her. I tried to figure out what was going on inside her body as she drank it... where was the tea now? What stage of the process was it in? Was it seeping into her brain? I watched and imagined it flowing through her frail form as she looked back at me, believing that she was winning. Then she noticed it, for a split second, she noticed her will being drained, faster than anyone could replenish it and her head just fell forward as she nodded off. ''

Part of me wishes that the empties were still themselves, so that she could see it, I own her.

Corelas shut the book and took a deep breath, ''What did I let them get into? He thought with a sigh.''
