"I take it by your expressions that you are doubtful", said the Daedric prince. "Let me explain further then. I am Meridia. Riamide is an anagram of my true name, and that is the name I am using when traveling in mortal guise."

Myling could barely take it anymore. As far as she was concerned her life... or unlife was over beyond this point.

"Usually it lies in my nature to destroy all matter of unlife, as Myling. But do you remember that first time we met, my child? You were crying as you are now. You were lost and did not know which way to go. My original intention was to destroy you there and then, but I took pity on you for I could see that you didn't know what had happened to you. You did not realise that you were dead."

"I... still don't understand", said Myling. "How can I have wandered around Skyrim for five hundred years? I remember everything here in Maiden's Rest as if it would have been three years ago."

"Spirits have long memories, Myling, but they do not have any sense of time. Besides, your lack of memories from the incident only made you recall as far back as when your father held you down under the water, you did not remember dying. Therefore you jumped to your own conclusions that he must have eventually pulled you out of the water and that you left your home in fear and anger. However, as you have just seen that was not the case."

"Then why the interest in me?" asked Myling and suddenly became more aggravated. "Why was I ever given Gastbane in the first place if all you wanted was to eradicate me from the face of Tamriel? Was that all some sort of amusement from your behalf? I am standing right here. I am willing. I am ready. Finish what you wanted, Daedra. This unloved spirit wants to go home."

"Do not tempt me to do something drastic, Myling", boomed Meridia. "I have not finished speaking of my intentions. So listen closely. And this goes for you as well, Rowan."
