    Beautiful work as usual my dear. Do you change up ENB often? I notice your images often have drastic different looks from one another. I have such trouble with ENB - I only get 1 or 2 to work bug I think that's just because I suck at installing ENB.

    Anyway, your work is, as always, a credit to you.

      Thank you very much, my friend. K ENB does sometimes look quite different from place to place, I don't actually change it all that often for the tale, and even for other sets, lately I have been switching between K and Mistveil though. I do have some issues with some ENB not working quite right, some flickering of contrast and other weird glitches, I don't think I am all that great at installing them either.

      Those words means a lot to me

    Amazing story, I love how they stop to discuss the next step, their worries with pulling the lever, the careful watchful eyes for the sign of any Dwemer traps. The wonder of why they would none as if the Dwemer thought no one could ever get to that place to need the traps.. guess they did not count of this group!! Your shots so fitting to match the wonderous tale perfectly

      Thanks a bunch, Heaven, they are a cautious bunch in such ruins, sharing what they think might be ahead does help with keeping an eye out for those traps and the Dwemer certainly do seem to really like their traps Seems the Dwemer did indeed not count on such sly ones to slip past their mechanical guardians. I am delighted that those shots are so fitting of the words ^^

    I like their banters as much as the rest of the chapter - no doubt tiresome to walk through a Dwemer ruin with so many dangers lingering around every corner, traps and foes with mechanic sounds and steams floating around. Ma'Kriiva was quite the clever one figuring that puzzle by Ak'haziir and the other's surprise, ended up with a shy smile by their stare. Even a thief can be handy to keep in a group with friendly faces keep up your great job, as always, my friend!

      With them always having to watch go those dangers of Dwemer ruins among that gloom with vigilant gazes those words they shared did help keep their spirits up and break that tension they felt. Ma'Kriiva is a very clever one indeed, her eyes catching the logic of that puzzle, she really showed her skills there. She is an important part of that kind group that one Thanks so much for the encouraging words, my friend ^^

    I so love how you deal with the Khajiit-Speak, it makes the whole story so real and so into the world of Skyrim. In fact, your storys are always so authentical!
    And cats have never been "cooler", in any possibly way

      It is a joy to hear you love the way I deal with Khajiit-speak, that is adds that real feel to that word of Skyrim in your eyes, Cael ^_^ From the start I wanted to keep that tale true to that world around those adventurous ones
      Hehe, I am glad those cats are a cool bunch and not just because of the cold

    Dwemer ruins, Alftand and such are perfect backgrounds to show your talent to paint the beautiful landscape with words, so it seems. I like your comparisons - the glowing mushrooms to the hats, the fort to the huge, menacing beast. Again, you created that uneasy, mysterious atmosphere - the strange noises heard from afar, dim light of the cave.
    Oh, I liked that little piece of Ma'Kriiva kicking the construct to check if he would move, that lightened the mood of the paragraph
    Actually, all of that little Khajiits references - to their wet fur, for example, are adorable and help the reader to cheer up a little bit.
    Again, the banters of your characters show the great bond between them, it's good to see a teamt being actually... a team. Usually people have trouble with creating such relationships of trust and friendship, so it's good to see such strong bond.
    And here we go, that riddle... I hated that riddle with lights and mirrors in game. So frustrating!
    About the Khajiits, again - I love the fact that you Khajiits do not speak the same way Aela does. They are kept in lore, and thank the gods for that
    Oh, and that sweet banter between Aela and Akhaz'iir after they got out of there... awwww! I love such delicate, playful talks.
    Looking forward to read MOAR!

      Dwemer ruins are some of the most mysterious to me, all those machines and constructs still working among that steam and gloom, it is lovely to hear you say that I have a talent for painting a landscape. I really like making those kind of comparisons, finding different ones for the same object or sight, those fungus have such amusing shapes and silhouettes can take many forms in one's imagination. I am glad there is that uneasiness to their journey through that gloom, falmer and other shadows wandering about. She is a curious one that Ma'Kriiva, she could not quite resist knowing if that machine would move, I think that moment lightened the mood of her companions too
      I do like putting those little amusing little details throughout the tale, you do it very well in your tales of Saga, one of the aspects I like the most about them, those touches of humour. They are a close knit bunch the scout and his companions, they would really appreciate you liking the bond between them I am sure.
      That puzzle of the dwemer machine is a bit of a tricky one, especially when you forget the pattern of it as I had
      I do find it important to use that way they speak, shows that uniqueness of theirs, I do like to keep to that lore, glad you love that difference in their speech
      Hehe, makes me smile that you found that little moment between them to be sweet, I like that kind of playful talk too.
      I look forward to sharing MOAR, will write that little tale of Tacita sometime soon. I really appreciate your insight on my tales once again, dear Kayol ^^

    Fantastic new installment, so beautifully written! I love the descriptions of the Black Reach, you have captured its eerie, strange and dangerous atmosphere wonderfully. And I also love and adore how Khajiit speak, their speech unique and their banter amusing. Seems like Ma'Kriiva can be very determined if she wants to, solving the puzzle of Elder Scroll like this and her exchange of words with the scout awesome. Too bad that except the Elder Scroll she didn't find any gold, but on the second second the scroll itself is one of the greatest treasures in the world. Loved the banter at the camp as well, Aela can be quite playful when she wants to, while Dar'Akshara watches her brother with warm smile as older caring sister that she is. I am looking forward to the continuation of the story!
    Wonderful shots too, very atmospheric and beautiful, the shots of solving Elder Scroll mystery and the shot of the scroll itself is amazing. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work!

      Was interesting to describe different aspects of Blackreach than in the last installment, eerie and dangerous are certainly words that describe that place well, great to hear they are reflected in those descriptions. It is a fun speech pattern that they have those khajiit, I am happy you find their banter in that pattern amusing. When she knows she can be of help she is a determined one, especially when it comes to a puzzle like a vault, glad you really like those words they shared about that elusive treasure. It is true that the Elder Scroll is the greatest of treasures, but one cannot spend it and it is unwieldy with its size. Aela has her playful moments, that relief of being back to the sunlight put her in that mood, Dar'Akshara does alway watch her brother with care. We will see what they find when they return to warmer climes ^^
      I am glad those shots bring out that atmosphere, that dwemer machine is quite a photogenic thing with its intricate structure. Thank you so much for your ever detailed feedback, my friend
