    Very good chapter Corfus. The banter between Kathryne and Eleanor was hilarious! The main shot of Nocturnal is simply amazing.

    Fantastic continuation of previous chapter! Awesome shots too, such great work you did!
    I knew that Elvina kids must be special and now Constance who looks so much like her mother is stalked by dreams about Nocturnal who obviously wants her into her service.... These are interesting questions here in this story about destiny and fate... can Constance escaped the fate prepared for her of being a servant of nocturnal or can she break free?

      Thanks Nataly, Nocturnal has definitely something in mind for Constance and maybe Eleanor too, Constance may still be able to outright refuse Nocturnal but the stakes could be high but will she gain anything by doing so ? Nocturnal has planted seeds and will on nudge things this way or that way. Nocturnal enjoys seeing how things will turn out and takes delight when things do not quite go as she expected with unintended consequences even more so if it favours her, which is why she enjoys Elvina so much.

    Interesting continuation Corf. An interesting notion that whole idea of destiny and fate. Is Constance destined to be Nocturnal's handmaiden or will she have her own free will should she desire to go a different way? And if she does become a puppet of the Prince, what will that mean for her friendships with Eleanor and Kath?

    Lovely shots as always and an intriguing tale you're spinning my friend!

      Thanks Jess, Nocturnal has had a plan for Constance since since she decided to spare Elvina. Of course its not going to plan like how things go awry where Elvina gets involved. But that's one thing Nocturnals like about Elvina, she gets things done but often end with unexpected consequences which Intrigue Nocturnal.
      Constance is trapped as she cannot rid herself from the part of Nocturnal inside her accept for death which is not a very good option. Constance will have more spirit to keep nocturnal at bay than Elvina & it will be interesting to see what happens with Eleanor. Kath will stick by them regardless

    Corfus, you make Skyrim even more interesting, amazing images, and a wonderful story, however, I must go to Dark Paths(pt1) and read from beginning, you are an inspiration.

      Thanks zzmaguszz & Jay, while this story is more about Constance and Eleanor, the true story is about Elvina

      Thanks m8, I have always found Nocturnal an interesting character, and now her fictional relationship with Elvina's bloodline has many possibilities

    Fun installment to read while I bake home made apple pies at home and Grim is resting from his walk on the deck.

    Constance and Eleanor sure make a striking mix - the giant warrior and the small mage. A small twist on the usual male pairing of the big guy and little guy. Good thing she has Nord blood in they sexy armor of hers as well! Rather enjoyed her approach to getting into the college. Sometimes you just have to be direct with the Altmer.

    Seems like Constance is the first contact then - the first to be approached directly by Nocturnal. I liked her defiant approach. It is one thing when you seek out the Princes yourself but another when they seem to want to seek you out. I found the information that part of Nocturnal was inside of Constance very intriguing. I do wonder what the essence is exactly. Is it part of her soul? her mind? her power? I know for Grim, who has part of Hircine and Kyne in him, that it is more hereditary and it is soul-essence primarily, although he has some of Hircine's blood as the Princes are more physical in many cases than the more ethereal Aedra.

    I can't help but wonder what will come next for Constance and whether she will serve Nocturnal. She feels trapped now but is it a true trap? She still has her will - could she not refuse? Or will she be swayed into following Nocturnal. I have a much harder time seeing Eleanor being swayed into following anyone except herself.

    Kath is a great friend and character - there to help ease some tension and lighten the mood at times. Also a very lusty lass it seems :) Enjoyed the banter with her. Equally enjoyed your nice shots with their own style and atmosphere.

      Thanks Jon, Mmm home made apple pies

      Constance and Eleanor are imperial bloodline Kaths the Nord, Although in game constance is a Breton to make her smaller and better magic abilities. Hehe I should change Eleanor's sexy outfit, but I only used that for promo photo's but I have been to lazy to change it and she does look good in it. I just wish Eleanor's solution was an in game option to entering the college.

      The next part will reveal almost everything, hence the title. I have been quite vague with what's really going on, just dropping subtle lines here and there. I read in one of your chapters recently when you mentioned about the essence thing,and I thought ah this is where my story was going but along very different lines. The essence thing is all three you mentioned, which is why Constance understands its futile to resist. But she will still have a free will of sorts and could well resist if she wants to.

      This line from Elvina's story, quoting Nocturnal "yet she could be the mother of something else. Maybe.. " is where all this stems from. She saw something in Elvina's bloodline she didn't expect to see, And being who she is, could not waste such an opportunity. Also that last teaser has a very significant meaning which might be becoming clearer. Constance has none of Nocturnals Blood though, she is Elvina's blood and the yet unmentioned father.

      Kath is much closer to Eleanor than Constance, Kath and Elle are nearly always together, but all three are very close, Kath just likes to tease a lot. I did edit a lot of words to tone down Kath's lusty side mind.

      Thanks again Jon

      Ah forgot she was imperial - her height is what tends to make me think Nord every time I see her. I just see Nords as very tall and broad.

      Proof of Pies



      Grim is guarding them in the back ... or just waiting for the right moment to steal one

      Hehe those pies are just waiting to be snatched. don't tun your back Jon :p

      Yeah Eleanor looks big due to constance being so small, So Kathryne looks really big next to Constance
