Chapter 9 - IX. The Messenger's Mantle

Adam met up with the grand elder at Isvar's citadel. It was a marvel of beauty and it stands about 30 meters high. Several sentries were on guard as elder Dunmer and Adam pass through them to the courtyard and into the entrance of the citadel. "Elder Dunmer holds a respectable position, by looking at the sentries reaction, I can tell the elder is an authorative figure in Isvar." Adam was impressed and commented to elder elf. "It comes with being an elder my friend". Elder Dunmer smirked. "Come this way." The pair went up the citadel and entered a balcony. There was an elderly elf sitting quietly and looks troubled. He was looking far into the horizon sensing the destruction that was happening. "Excuse me Grand Elder Nardual. I have urgent news." Elder Dunmer disturbed the grand elder. He then continued talking, repeating the same story that was told by Adam them earlier. The grand elder had the exact same reaction.

The grand elder then fell silent then he finally spoke. "As we are now, and I sensed that you also know this Dunmer, we are not capable to take arms at war." He breathed deeply and continued. "It pains me we cannot even protect Aeden."

"Grand elder, we must believed in our guardians. This man with me, he is one of their captives and manages to escape. We can at least help him." Dunmer assured the grand elder.

The grand elder look at Adam and asked him, "What about your other responsibilty? What about your masters, the humans.."

"It is my directive to restore the human race, but i have to prioritize building their home, creating a safe haven for them before i wake one of them." Adam answered.

"Are you not worried someone else will find those things you called pods?"

"Those pods can naturally adapt to it's enviroment, which will be difficult to find."

"Then Adam for the sake of Aeden, Isvar will welcome humans to live among us.

." the grand elder answer back. "Before you start your journey to look for them, please deliver the message to the guardians. I believe one of the guardians can help you collect the pods."

Adam nodded." I will deliver the message grand elder."

Grand elder then added," So be it! Adam you need to disguise yourself in your travel... The guardians also has enemies here in Aeden. I am sure they are looking into the war as we speak. You have to travel by foot, we can not risk you being discovered or caught by the enemy."

"Why not take my old mantle ?" Dunmer said, " It is a old green cape with a hood with written symbols of the ancients language in it's back. It is widely recognized in this land as a messenger.

"It is settled then. Have one of our best scouts to accompany him." the grander elder added," Oh.. Also bring Adam to our home forge first before leaving"
