Ren could hear distant voices in her head. She began to stirr in her bed. Barely noticable at first. Then her attempts at waking up gradualy became stronger and stronger.

Whiterun...

"Have you got anything yet?" Sergus asked Skitter, who was still looking at the map.

"Nothing yet." He replied. The two men remained silent for a minute. Skitter never talked much.

"I have a question." He suddenly told Sergus.

"Shoot."

"Why go through all this trouble?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why didn´t you just use the stick on the Frostfall guild, instead of causing all this ruckus?"

"The High King is more important. Without the High King no Skyrim."

"But instead of taking over the giants we used to break through the gates you could have just taken over the Frostfall guild. Then we could have used them instead of the Giants. And Filia wouldn´t have died.

You could have taken over them long ago. But you didn´t. Why?"

Sergus let out a sigh before replieing.

"To be honest: It just felt wrong."

Skitter raised his head from the map and stared at Sergus.

"What...?"

"It felt wrong. My gut told me it wasn´t the right thing."

"...You...you could have...anytime...and yet you..." Skitter took a deep breath. "You are being hunted by them. They want you dead and you know full well that they will stand in the way and that you will have to kill them to achieve your goal, even if they are your former comrades. You also already tried to kill them by sending Borkhan and Runner against them. If you simply would have taken over them none of this would be necessary. People that are dead now would still be alive."

"Yes, Skit. Controling and manipulating them feels wrong. Killing them feels right."

"You are saying this as if you were right. You´re not. And i don´t believe you. You are not the kind of man who trusts his gut blindly."

"I´m not." Sergus admitted. "I have not taken over them because i have a feeling that they´ll be needed later. Well, it´s actualy more than a feeling, it´s intuition." He tapped the golden crown on his head that he aquired along with the ring and scepter on Solstheim.

"This thing is not just for show. I already know i won´t achieve my full goal but i want to see how far i can come. The second i got everything i wanted on Solstheim, life lost it´s meaning for me. And that meaning won´t come back. So now i want to enjoy myself as much as possible before the ´big bang´. And what better way to enjoy yourself than launching an attempt on conquering all of Tamriel?" Sergus laughed and left Skitter back to his work.

"You should rest once in a while, you know? You look like a tired rat." He told him before entering the Jarls - now his - chambers.
