Meanwhile in a small cabin just a few meters away from the group...

"One more time, mommy! Please!" A Nord child begged to her mother.

"Alright, alright, Haema. One more time. After that, you'll sleep." The mother smiled at the child's look.

The mother opened a book written 'The Legend of Jack o'Dreams'.

"Around around came Nimble Jack,

Tumbling through the window-crack,

With magic stick and magic sack,

He came to bring the nightmares back."

As the mother spoke the words, the Nord child glanced at her with glistening eyes. She smiled and hugged her mother.

"I love you, mom!" She said happily.

"I love you more, my snow princess."

The mother walked to her room and left the child to sleep. She sat on her bed and heard the wind blow strongly.

"Old Jack's a-whistlin' again." Bjorn the Elder, the child's mother's husband, muttered.

"Stop saying those things, Bjorn! Jack's not real. He never was." Fjori, the child's mother, ordered.

"Or am I?" A dark voice whispered.

The voice came from a man who was sat on a chair in the dark corner.

Both of them gasped and jumped out of their beds in fear. Bjorn grabbed a dagger and pointed at the man.

"Are you a Daedra?" Fjori asked.

"Perhaps..." The man smiled, from ear to ear.

He stood up and walked forwards, revealing his face.

"Who are you?!" Bjorn asked. "Explain yourself!"

"I think you already know me. You've been saying my sealed verse for a long time, which is cursed."

''Is that... No, he's not real!''

"Oh yes, I am." The man grabbed the chair and sat in front of them, holding the Skull of Corruption.

"I am Jack o'Dreams. Or Nimble Jack, said in your 'stories'."

Indide the skull of corruption, there was the child's dreams and soul.

"Is that... Haema, inside your staff?" Fjori asked, terrified.

"Hmm? Oh, yes. You left her alone and I decided to give her a surprise. Y'know, ol' Nimble Jack feels alone, too."

"And prepare to join her."

He grabbed the Skull of Corruption (the same from Skyrim, though as a two-handed weapon) and absorbed Fjori and Bjorn's souls, as well dreams and nightmares.

The scream from the Nordic family could be heard from miles. Even for the group it could be heard.

(No, he's not an antagonist. He'll join the Frostfall Guild.)
