“Yes! It’s Arthur What happened? Who did this to you?”
He let out a pained groan “You gotta… get out of here, kid”
“Don’t spout heroic crap like that, Buhnd!” I snapped impatiently “Tell ainst”
Buhnd, tugged onme close “Listen The Castle, the Council—it’s finished If you want to do so alive ”
“Okay, okay I’ll be careful, but to do that, I need to knohat happened Was it a retainer? A scythe? What sort ofthe strength in Buhnd’s hand loosening, I turned tobetter?”

My dwarven mentor had told me what little he knew about the opponent’s power—the opponent being an actual scythe Apparently, he wielded a smokey black fire that corrupted whatever it came in contact with It seemed like another deviant like the black metal spikes that Uto was able to conjure or the black poison that the witch was able to use
Whether a good thing or not, Elder Hester and Kathyln had left for the Wall before the scythe had infiltrated the Castle, but Alduin and Merial Eralith, along with Tessia and my family, were nowhere to be found when all of this had happened
It was somewhat of a relief that they weren’t here, but another part of me was even more anxious Questions rose in o? How did they know that they would be attacked? Or was their timely disappearance just a coincidence?

I heard Bairon’s voice screaister what he was saying over the blood pounding in rip around Dawn’s Ballad, unable to pry lare of the scythe standing in front of me
