''But then again, I was never strong. Not for you…''Julie thought, frowning as she stared at her thigh. It trembled when she recalled the many nights Set and she spent in bed, on the floor…

''Against the wall… ''

''I ain’t strong… ''

Julie sighed, looking at the dagger cradled in her hands. “If I was strong, I could stop thinking about you…” Her voice trembled as much as she did as her breathing increased. She hovered the knife over her thigh. “A-are you…” She paused, blinking and looking up to the ceiling, tears spilling out her eyes as she bit down on her lip. “Are you enjoying your time without me?” She gasped, crying out and rubbing her face with her free hand, running it down her neck. “W-with someone else?” The Dunmer moaned, squeezing her eyes shut. “Y-you f-f-fucking her!? F-f-forgetting me!?” Julie wailed, bringing the knife downwards, driving it into her leg and screaming. “W-well f-f-fuck you! Fuck you Set! Fuck YOU!” Julie screamed again, stabbing herself in the leg repeatedly. “Th-this is m-my fault. All my fault! Wh-why? Why did you let me walk away!? Why h-haven’t you found me yet…?”

Julie fell forwards, her grip on reality slipping as she fought to stay awake. “S-set…” She sobbed, her heart aching. “Set!”

Tiberionus grumbled, folding his arms and standing at the top of the cavern, looking down on the crowd of people huddled around. They milled around, keeping busy. The sound of coughing prevailed over everything. The Dunmer King growled, glaring across the sea of people.

''My men are sick. The Women are sick. The children are sick… ''

''Everyone is getting sick. ''

''We need medicine. We need food. We need… ''

''We need out of this shithole. ''

He rubbed his eyes, feeling the weight of responsibility crushing him. “Alright!” He barked, causing everyone to look up to him. “We’re staying here for just one more day and night! I’ll be taking a few of you out looking for herbs to make medicine enough for everyone!” The crowd gave a collective groan, understanding but too scared to resist. Scared of the injustice they might cause…

“Glad you all understand!” Tiberionus cried, wincing as a pained wail echoed in his head. “I want every abled man to meet me and Julie outside within the hour!” Tib nodded, walking off before anybody could protest. He approached his tent, noticing the wailing was louder. He was getting worried. Especially at the sound of stabbing. The warrior sighed, opening the flaps…

“Set!”

“Julie! Julie it’s okay! I’m here!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“S-set…You came…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Shh Julie. You’re okay…You’re safe…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Y-you really do m-miss me…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Julie…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I m-missed you so much….S-set I…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Julie! Wake up!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Shh Set. L-listen to me…I…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“We need to go get herbs!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why? Is M-maria sick again?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Everyones sick Julie…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Sh-shit, Jaryl and Isis t-too…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I’m sorry Julie, this’ll hurt…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“H-huh?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie felt a massive pain hit her face, and her eyes shot open. “S-set, why?” She paused, her vision clearing. “O-oh..T-tib I..I’m sorry…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tib shook his head, pushing the Dunmer down onto the floor. He knelt by her side, touching her thigh. “Why?” He asked simply.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I…I…I’m w-weak…” Julie whispered. “I d-do it to remind me of that weakness.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tiberionus sighed again, rubbing her stomach as he shuffled over to her head. His face appeared in her field of view. Getting closer. Too close…

<p class="MsoNormal">“Julie listen to me.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What?” She snapped.

<p class="MsoNormal">“He ain’t coming…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“He is! He will! He w-will…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“You don’t sound so sure Julie…” Tib whispered, stroking her face, and placing himself on top of her.

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie looked away, tilting her head back and closed her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I mean, isn’t this what you wanted? For him to be happy?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie nodded, her lips shaking.

<p class="MsoNormal">“And what if…being with another woman is the only thing that could make him happy?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Th-then I j-ju…just have to…l-live with it…” Julie sobbed.

<p class="MsoNormal">“But you deserve…happiness too…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“You s-so…sound like him…” Julie murmured, stroking his cheek. “He always wanted me to be happy with s-someone e-else…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tib smiled, pressing down on her, his lips hovering just over hers. “Then let me make you happy, Julie…”

<p class="MsoNormal">The Dunmer swallowed, closing her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">Tib grinned, kissing his Queen deeply. She resisted at first before finally, something in her mind gave way just as she did. She slipped her hands down his body, pulling at his trousers…

<p class="MsoNormal">-

<p class="MsoNormal">~An hour later…~

<p class="MsoNormal">Tiberionus and Julie stood outside Red Ruby Cave with a party of four other Dunmer men. Three warriors and an archer.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Alright.” Tib commanded. “You all know what we’re looking for! Anything to help us make cure disease potions!”

<p class="MsoNormal">The five of them nodded, Julie flashing him, a small smile.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Let’s go hunting….” She whispered.

<p class="MsoNormal">The group walked through the forest for a while, remaining as quiet as they could. They were stopped when Julie raised her hand, sinking low to the floor. She was using this to take her mind off her Bosmer and was so focused, she heard rustling up ahead. Tib and his men stepped back, giving Julie her room. He smirked, watching his Queens behind as she crept forward and peered through the trees at the small group of people.

<p class="MsoNormal">''N-no way… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie gasped, loudly, before covering her mouth instinctively. She’d spotted someone within the other party. Someone she thought she’d never see again. Julie reached out her hand, her fingers twitching and her soul aching. The Bosmer stood angrily, seeming embroiled in an argument. He was heavily scarred and, crucially, only had one eye.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Set… ''
