Corelas remained stony faced as Rowan left. As soon as Veneficus was woken up, the Altmer rushed over to him and lay him on the bed. It was his turn to keep him safe.

"C-corelas..." Veneficus wheezed.

"Shh, old friend." The Altmer whispered, giving him a rare smile.

"H-how.."

"I'll explain later. Just rest for now."

Veneficus nodded, closing his eyes and soon drifting off again.

Corelas sighed and sat in the chair by the man who had looked after him all these years, staring at the ring on his finger. He closed his eyes and drifted off as well.

In his mind, the Altmer awoke in the cage with the shadow again. He looked around, confused as ever.

"So...even with the ring, you resist its inherent evil..." The Shadow whispered.

Corelas watched as his old self joined his side.

"I guess so." The Altmer replied. "I seem to be able to recall memories of my friends with it on."

"How can you be sure they are real memories?" The shadow questioned.

"I'm not." Corelas replied, reaching for his dagger.

"But, there is something genuine about them! I will find out if they are real or not!"
