A week passed since the conversation he had with Akatosh and he was on the road again with Serana, Karliah, and Vyrve.
They were about to dock in Solstheim or better said in the town named Raven Rock. Vincent was wearing some normal armor that wouldn't attract to much attention to him.
"Sir, we are about to dock at Raven Rock," says a sailor of the Northern Maiden.
"Is it that obvious?" asks Vincent as he looked at his three companions who looked into the air avoiding his look.
"It because you are traveling with a Dunmer, Falmer, and Vampire that people will know who you are," says Karliah as she explained it to Vincent before she says, "And no one on Tamriel has Horns like yours. It will be hard to find a stand-in for you in the future."
"*sighs* Don't mention that," says Vincent as he takes his old iron helmet off and continues, "Then it won't help on the island right."
"Right," says Karliah agreeing with Vincent as she continues, "I would be thankful if you don't mention my bloodline once there. I don't want to be dragged in politics just because I'm Barenziah's descendent."
"Right no word about your bloodline," says Vincent as the ship docks and they were already awaited by one of their spies that was living there, a pair of guards in some weird armor and a Dunmer in noble clothes as Vincent changes into his Drachen set while holding his spear in a non-threatening way.
They disembark after paying Captain Gjalund Salt-Sage for bringing them. The moment they put a foot on Raven Rock something felt off as the Dunmer then walks over and presents himself, "My name is Adril Arano. I'm the second Councilor of Raven Rock. Welcome to our land High King of Skyrim."
"Right thank you for welcoming us but I have a cult leader to catch before he succeeds in killing me or worse," says Vincent as his Amulet was quite visible in front of the second councilor and the guards who suddenly changed attitude and kneeled in front of him and Vincent asks, "What are you doing?"
"We didn't know that we would have his highness the rightful emperor in front of us," says Adril as he still kneeled when Vincent looked at the others for advice.
"Mate stand up before I make you do it myself. I'm here on an incognito mission. I can't have people kneel or even bow to me right now. There are still spies everywhere," says Vincent as he puts his hand on Adril's shoulder and pulls him up making him stand again.
"Alright, your highness," says Adril as Vincent let's go of him and the Guards stand up then Adril continues, "We know of the cultist but they are all over Solstheim. They are mostly in the Temple in the middle of Solstheim but the Skaals might know more about everything."
"Is there a temple nearby where I could pray to the divines before breaking off?" asks Vincent as Adril points to the Temple.
"You could pray in the temple even if it doesn't have any shrines," says Adril as Vincent says his thanks while Adril continues, "No thank you. If it wasn't for your spy we would have lost many people."
They then leave and the spy followed when Vincent asks her, "What's your name?"
"Cyntra," says Cyntra as she showed her red mane.
"Ah, a Khajit. I expected an accent since I always buy from them," says Vincent as he was surprised.
"Cyntra worked quite hard to lose it like every other Khajit and Argonian since in the field it would be easy to differentiate them from other people if they talk with their accent," says Karliah as she explained it to Vincent.
"It helps a lot I must say but what did Adril mean that because of your help the town was saved?" asks Vincent as they were in front of the Temple.
"I revealed the plan of some political traitors in the town and reported it to the second counselor with evidence. Once down they took care of that family," says Cyntra as Vincent nods.
"You have done well," says Vincent before entering the Temple and continues asking, "Anything else that looked suspicious to you?"
"The cultist are building shrines or altars around some weird stones. The people help but they are more like in a dream state working without knowing they are working but it's not only them. Have you ever seen Rieklings?" says Cyntra.
"The little blue things that run on boars right. Yes, fought some of them before," says Vincent remembering fighting them on his way towards a ruin that the Greybeard sensed a word of power from.
"They are also building it. Something really strange is going on on this island. Also, there is a Mage with his disciple and his maid living southeast of the island it can't be missed since its a giant mushroom," says Cyntra informing them about everything.
"Mushroom?" asks Vincent confused.
"The mage must be a Telvanni. They are known to use magic to build their houses out of mushrooms and fungi," says Karliah as she explained the method to Vincent.
"Alright maybe we can visit the mage if we have time but can you leave me alone for a moment. I need to talk to the big boss. Cyntra can you mark on the map the places with those shrines that are being built right now as well as for the Temple were the cult is staying," says Vincent as he leaves the three and goes deeper into the temple.
He was sitting there waiting when Akatosh arrives and says, "So you want some advice that's something new."
"I just want to know how to deal with the shrines on Solstheim," says Vincent as Akatosh smiled.
"You know very well how to do it. I gave you a shout before remember," says Akatosh as he flicks his finger against Vincent's forehead to make him remember.
Vincent suddenly appears in front of the dissolve Alduin and see Akatosh giving him the three shouts as he returned back to the temple and finds Akatosh gone.
"Thank you," says Vincent before standing up and walking to the entrance where the others were waiting for him.
"What did Auri-El tell you?" asks Vyrve as he was curious.
"He told me to use a shout against it. What about Cyntra?" says Vincent as he didn't see her.
"She went to stop some Thalmors she was stalking the last few days. They took a Skaal as a prisoner," says Karliah as Vincent was thinking about something when she says, "Cyntra will be fine she went through worse things than some Thalmor. She was one of the people leading the assault on the Embassy in Skyrim."
"Alright then where is the nearest shrine?" asks Vincent not trying to worry about it for now.
"The nearest is just outside the city," says Vyrve as they leave the temple and walk towards where the shrine was.
"Something feels really bad here," says Vincent as he was worried and says, "Be on guard after I shout against it."
The two nod and Vincent shouted against it "GOL HAH DOV!" and suddenly a creature with tentacles came out of the stone while the stone took another color looking brown instead now.
The creature attacked and the three kill it and suddenly the people regained their consciousness as they didn't even remember what they were doing and went home.
"I'm slowly thinking that the cultists are also only manipulated the same way just more intensive," says Vincent as he saw how fast the people turned back to normal.
"Well there are still five more to go," says Vyrve as they begin to move again.
They cleaned two more before Vincent heard a voice in his head that says, "Look at that the mortal my brother and sister told me about."
Vincent was looking around and didn't see anything when Karliah asks, "Is something wrong?"
"Didn't you hear that?" asks Vincent as both Vyrve and Karliah looked confused at him.
"What did you hear?" asks Vyrve confused.
"Something about the mortal my brother and sister told me about. I'm quite confused myself since its the first time since," says Vincent when he stopped realizing who was talking to him and says, "A fucking Daedric Prince. I should have known it."
"Another one," says Vyrve as he heard Vincent history with them. Vincent has met Sheogorath, Nocturnal, and Mephala.
"Which do you think is the one that talked to you?" asks Karliah as she was nervous being watched by a Daedric Prince
"The only one that comes to mind would be Hermaeus Mora," says Vincent when suddenly tentacles and eyes begin to spread from a little hole in front of them.
"That is correct it was me Hermaeus Mora. But I think your father told you that already," says Mora as he floated in front of them before saying, "How about a deal you get what you want and I get something I want. What do you say?"
"And what could you possibly offer me," says Vincent sarcastic when a tentacle almost touched him but the moment Mora tried he felt an uneasy feeling that he never felt before.
"You are really interesting. This feeling is the first time I felt it while I recorded it many times," says Mora as Vincent now really confused.
Then Nocturnal appeared out of Vincent shadow and says, "You should mess with my Champion."
"Or my little Mori. Maybe I should use my cheese knife to punish you," says Sheogorath who appeared out of nowhere scaring all of them as no one wanted to mess with Sheogorath.
The Daedric Princes knew that he alone defeated Jyggalag while they all needed to join their forces to make Jyggalag to Sheogorath before.
"Now you also enter the fray," says Vincent as even if he doesn't eat anything Sheogorath serves him he does like to talk to the former Hero of Kvatch.
"I had to. Can't have Mori zip your brain making you a Zombie that would most likely go look for a new one," says Sheogorath as he then turns around and looks at Mora with a smile that wasn't a smile but a threat while saying, "Next time you try something funny Mori I will get mad and everyone will know why I'm called the Mad God. Do you understand."
