The next morning the women were still sleeping when Vincent was stretching his body a bit since the swamps seemed calmer without the Crones. It could be that or because even the monsters are afraid to go near the Bald Mountain now that it became the lair of the Black Dragon.
Once everyone was awake and have eaten they began to move towards the water when Karliah says, "I hope, we are there before the mob."
"If not we will have to fight our way through them or we could just scare them away," says Kirvena looking at Vincent.
"Like in the stories of a Dragon guarding a Tower with a Princess within it," says Ellana making the older women laugh from that.
"Just that our Dragon is a grumpy Dragon that has enough of marrying more women," says Serana hitting the nail into the wood.
"I have enough women by my side and some of them could be called almost Immortals going by how old they are," says Vincent as they understood what he meant.
"But you do know that Mina will pick one of the Succubi to become your wife right," says Kirvena when Vincent suddenly stopped on his tracks.
"Don't tell us you didn't think about that," says Karliah as they stopped as well.
"Argh, I should have killed them on the mountain top," says Vincent sarcastic making the women laugh as they began to move again reaching the Lake going by the map.
"Now we need a boat or an underwater animal," says Karliah as she looked at Vincent.
"Don't look at me like that the last underwater animal I faced was years ago in Thedas when a giant sea serpent tried to sink some trade ships near Qunandar," says Vincent as he killed a Cetus back then.
"How about we look around the coast we should be able to find a boat eventually," says Serana when suddenly a boat appeared in front of Ellana.
"We have a boat. Now we need some strong shoulders to row the boat," says Ellana as she made the boat by manipulating the wood around her.
"You really learned well from Francesca," says Vincent as he saw the boat.
"I learned a trick or two after mastering her special magic. If she would still be alive she would have achieved far more things with her magic instead of only making the former Antiva a place habitable again," says Ellana as Francesca created a whole Forest in Antiva gifting the ground life energy so it could grow crops again.
"She would but time is everyone's enemy," says Vincent sad about it as he lifted the boat and carried it towards the Lake.
Once the boat was on water Vincent changed into his Drachen-Set because he would be lighter than in his Dark Knight- or Warriors-Set.
They sat down as Vincent took the rows in his hands and began to row towards the east with Karliah's guidance.
"We should be ready for when the worst once we put foot there," says Karliah as they passed an abandoned fisher village.
"It seems trouble is following us with every step we take," says Serana as she smiled.
"It's like when we lived in Skyrim. There was not one day when trouble didn't find us," says Kirvena smiling as well remembering the old times.
"If it wasn't a Daedric Artefact, it was a mob of Forsworns that tried to kill us," says Serana when Karliah sighs because she only heard of those times as well as Ellana.
"Don't forget the Hagravens we had to kill for Kodlak so he could go to Sovngarde," says Vincent as he remembered those creepy old Hagravens.
"It was creepier to fight against the Ghosts of the Companions than fighting those Hagravens since they die from your blade, not like the Ghosts," says Kirvena as they could see a tower in the Horizon.
"It seems we are almost there," says Ellana as she then spots boats and continues, "And it seems we aren't alone."
"There are too many boats on the shore of the Isle," says Vincent thinking that they might be too late.
"We might have to fight our way through the mob if we are too late," says Serana as her eyes began to glow dangerously.
"You haven't drunk any blood since we slept in the Inn," says Vincent as he was a bit worried.
"You afraid that I eat some of them," says Serana as Vincent smiled.
"Well, it will give us a bad reputation around this world but it can't get worse than it already is right," says Vincent as Kirvena smiled.
"So we can be lethal. That should make it easier for us to resolve this situation," says Kirvena as she draws her sword.
"Alright, everyone ready to enter a battle like the Old Nord Style," says Vincent as he accelerated the boat towards the land while the rest of them draw their weapons as well.
They could see the mob advancing towards the tower when Karliah looks for something to take their attention when a Nord Horn was summoned beside Serana.
"Serana, blow it so they notice us. Karliah and Kirvena, prepare your bows to take some of them down before we land," says Vincent as his spear was beside him ready to be used.
Kirvena put her sword and shield away and pulled Auri-El's Bow out. Serana sounds the horn and the mob notices the boat approaching the shore too fast to land normally when arrows begin to rain from the sky some were black as the night while the others were bright like the sun.
"May Talos be with us!" shouts Vincent as the boat was about to crash when it suddenly launched itself from the water because Ellana summoned wind under the boat making it fly towards the mob.
The boat crashed into the mob crushing some of the people when a bloody mist surrounded the boat made by Serana by using the blood of the crushed people under them.
Suddenly a spear came out of it piercing two people followed by Vincent and Kirvena who used Vincent as a trampoline again before Karliah does the same holding her daggers.
Vlad comes out of Vincent's shadow as Vincent removes with his foot the corpses from his spear while saying, "Feast as much as you want Vlad."
"Thank you, my lord," says Vlad as he rushed into the battle when suddenly was overtaken by Serana.
She rushed in holding her father's blade while manipulating the blood around her to the fullest showing why she was a Daughter of Coldharbour when suddenly her fangs entered her first victim scaring the people.
"Bruma!" shouts one of them in fear as some fell backward to the ground from seeing Serana empty one of their own until he was dry of life.
"Retreat! We must retreat!" shouts someone that seemed to lead the mob when suddenly their escape route was cut off by flames created by Ellana before she used another spell freezing the fleeing people.
The group was on a rampage showing why they were the best of the best on Nirn as they slaughtered through the mob until one was left alive.
"I have a message for the people like you that only knows how to went his anger on someone weaker," says Vincent as his eyes turned cold paralyzing the man while continuing, "If another group tries to get to near to this Tower the Black Dragon will raze Velen down to prove his point because you got too near to his lair."
"Now go and tell it to the others before I change my mind and kill you to offer your head to the Dragon," says Vincent as the man ran away like a dog with his tail between his legs.
"Now that we cleared this should we look at how everything is going on inside," says Vincent as he looked towards the tower.
"It seems they were protecting themselves using a weak barrier," says Ellana as she just touched it and it broke under it.
"I think that the Mage must either be one with little Chaos or pretty bad with barriers," says Serana as they entered the tower.
In the meantime inside the Tower of Fyke Isle, a Mage was holding the mob outside using a barrier when a man asks, "How long can you hold the barrier?"
"Not long, my lord. We might die today," says the mage as he couldn't believe that they would be attacked in Fyke Isle.
Suddenly they hear a horn and the man the mage called 'lord' looks out of a window and sees a boat rapidly approaching with two Archers firing at the mob.
"It seems, some people are still loyal to me," says the lord seeing the group arrival when suddenly the boat flew and crashed into the mob.
They saw the fight going on and the lord turned pale seeing Serana and Vlad drinking blood from the mob when the mage says, "I don't think they are here to help us. We should prepare for the worst."
"We should," says the lord as he pulled a dagger out while looking at it.
"Can we find a solution so my daughter at least survives this mess?" asks the lord as the mage nods and took a vial out and gives it to his lord.
"She should drink it. It will make her seem dead but she will be alive and look like any person that drank poison to escape this situation," says the mage as he took another vial out for his lord who rejected it.
"No, you should take it. You served me well, Alexander. Just keep my daughter alive after everything is over," says the lord as Alexander nods.
"Farewell, Lord Vserad," says Alexander as Vserad walks upstairs where his daughter was.
"What is happening outside?" asks Vserad's daughter as she sees the dagger in her father's hand.
"You need to drink this. I will make you look like you died from poison. Later Alexander will wake you up," says Vserad as he hands over the vial with the sleeping potion to his daughter.
"Drink it now we don't have much time," says Vserad as his daughter did as told.
He catches her before placing her on the ground. Then he walks back down and meets a sleeping Alexander. He looked at the dagger and was ready to kill himself when suddenly a hand appeared between his throat and dagger.
"You won't escape your responsibility this fast," says a voice to Vserad when he meets cold blue eyes staring at him.
