Makoru rose from his spot next to Torene and threw on the rest of his armor, then grabbed the black leather scabbard that held Bloodharvest and hung it around his waist. He turned back to Torene and sat on the bed next to where she was lying. He put on a weak smile in an attempt to cheer them both up.

"I'm afraid I have to return to Hammerfell, Torene. I will find you and Koru, that much I can promise you. I promised you I'd say goodbye, so..." he choked back his frustration and kept a straight face. "Goodbye, Torene. I will see you again," he said, leaning over to steal a kiss before turning for the door. He quickly stepped out of the inn and walked into the rain, setting off down the road before he could change his mind.

Before he disappeared down the road heading back for Wayrest, he turned to Peri. "Take good care of Koru for me," he ordered before turning back to the main road and beginning the long walk to Wayrest. He would hire a carriage to Hammerfell from there, and once he arrived it would be a game of politics and lies, a game he had not played for some time. He set off down the road, vanishing into the rain as if he had never been there.
