      Thank you m8 a tough situation, I can't see Constance being in too much danger with a Full Daedric Prince in control of her with all her Daedric powers, but Kath and Elle are not happy about it. But things could well get worse though before they get better overall

    Awesome chapter Corfus! I love your ladies! I really like the scenario you present here with Nocturnal possessing Constance. Great idea! I must know, what mod is that shiny black corset Constance is wearing?

      Thank you very much, Nocturnal enjoys having her twisted fun but she can't do things the easy way. Constance wears some of the Swat Hottie outfit

    Very interesting and intense continuation of two sisters tale with very unexpected twist in the end! you sure did splendid work with shots, such beautiful and atmospheric images!

    it was very interesting to learn more about Kathryne, about her feelings towards sisters and Elvina. True, Kath might not be the brightest one in their team, but I admire her loyalty. In a way, Kathryne did remind me of Farkas a bit, who is also very loyal and will do everything for his friends and family. It was also very intriguing to learn of how Kathryne and Elvina met, of how she saved Kath from drunk and about Kath crush on Elvina that followed. Kathryne's feelings can be understandable, Elvina is very captivating and very beautiful... like enigma wrapped in mystery.

    And now Kathryne is fiercely loyal to sisters, Elvina's kids. It was sad to see Eleanor crying, but in a way, being not a target of Daedra attention can be quite a good thing, since obviously for Constance being a newest puppet for Nocturnal brought nothing but rage and misery.
    I was very surprised of why the Eye was needed! given the lore, possession of mortal body by Daedra is sure possible and I wonder what nocturnal is up to, using constance body as her vessel... I doubt it would be something good and what is worse, Kath and Eleanor can do nothing, since hurting nocturnal will just hurt Constance...
    I would look forward for continuation and thank you fir sharing your wonderful work!

      Thank you very much Nataly.

      The drunk got off quite lightly, in a different situation Elvina would have just killed him, but she didn't want to bring attention to herself especially from the guards. Kathrynes sweet and saw a alternative life to the one she was destined to have on her family farm. Elvina herself was once smitten by someone at a young age too. Kathryne is pretty much a sister to the twins and is not afraid of getting some injuries in protecting them or herself.

      Eleanor sadly has caught the attention of Nocturnal but that down to who she and not what she is, Nocturnal will make use of her, though she will not take kindly to what Nocturnal has done to her sister.

      I'm not following the Orb lore at all, its just a mechanic to allow Constance to be possessed by nocturnal for an infinite amount of time and allow Nocturnal to be able to wield all her magic power without being detected by other Deadra. So Nocturnal can now cause some mischief in Tamriel without receiving the blame herself and if she gets caught in the act it will be Constance blamed and not Nocturnal and Should Constance be killed in the process well its not Nocturnal body. Only the three girls will ever know and Nocturnal knows how to keep them silent.

      Thank you again Nataly

    My favorite line, "Kathryne's concentration was never good at the best of times..." says a lot about her I think. Like her easy going nature and trusting loyalty. Reminds me a bit of Wolfgar (thats a compliment not an insult) in his stead fast loyalty even though he can't always keep up with what is happening around him.

    Music was very intense - accented the drama of Saarthal nicely. Constance was very clever and got through Saarthal just fine - may have a price to pay when Frea finds out she lied though. Course thats a trivial thing at the moment considering she no longer has control of her own body.

    A horrible shock for Kath and El to have to deal with. Even if they had the power to harm Nocturnal it would only hurt or kill their sister - completely helpless at the moment. Also very unexpected. I had no idea Nocturnal would take Constance over and that she used the Eye to breach the barrier. I wonder how much of her power she was able to bring over? Just how powerful is Nocturnal on this side of the fence? Certainly the Eye is a potent artifact.

    Probably very fun for Nocturnal to be able to play directly in the game for once. The voyeur becoming the voyeue for a change. I am sure this doesn't bode well though.

    Good background on Kath and the hero worship/crush she had on Elvina - helps to explain a lot. Also helps to understand why finding out she was a DBA would rock her foundation. Not to mention her daughters.

    So hmm ... why was El crying? Sadness over her mother or sadness that she was a mistake? Might be better to not be attractive to a Prince's attention in the long run.

    PS - Nice shots the but the one of the three of them as dark shadows looking over the outside of Saarthal is exceptional. Also liked the ones with the eyes and the way Constance looked a bit shiny and sparkly after Nocturnal took over.

      Thank you Jon, Kathryne is not the brightest spark in the world but she is brave and very loyal. I think most people will have an odd teenage crush on someone at some point and with Kaths open minded nature Elvina would be a captivating enigma.

      The music comes from following link after link on youtube until I find something suitable, an interesting track which goes from dark mellow to dance like trance.

      When I first started writing the added chapters I didn't intend for Nocturnal to possess Constance like that it would have been Constance always in control but thinking about a few things I wanted Nocturnal's involvement to be more sinister. Nocturnal could only possess before for limited periods and with little of her power but through Constance she can now possess her body for unlimited time while retaining pretty much all of her power making Constance's body extremely powerful when she controls it and that same power will exist when Constance is in control with the added bonus that the Deadric aura of Nocturnal is not detectable from Constance's form allowing her to get one over other Princes if she wants to. But Nocturnal is not interested in global conquest just causing some mischief and intrigue.

      Crying is maybe a too strong a word for what Elle felt, she was upset with everything from knowing what she was, discovering about her mother and the predicament to what Constance is in. As much as Nocturnal pretends Elle is of no importance, she does seem to require her and Kathrynes aid, Elle might not be like her Mother, but she is a better out and out fighter than her mother but lacks the thieving and assassination mind.

      One thing I like about stories is I can make/show different types of images than what I would make for an image gallery and the writing can give those images more contrast.

      Thanks very much for the comment

      Thanks for the added insight on how the possession works as well as the power levels - which sounds very interesting considering Nocturnal has most of her power on Nirn to play with (hopefully she won't burn out Constance's body in the process). Nocturnal is an enigma and I can see her doing things just to make people wonder what she is doing

      As I mentioned before my lore doesn't follow the true lore its just to make my story and I doubt my story will add up to the makers of the Elder scrolls universe. Going back a few chapters this is one of the possibilities Nocturnal saw in Elvina's gene line, a mortal that could carry Nocturnals soul, will and magical power and have influence in Tamriel where her power was limited. Constance will out live her mother is all I can say

      Aye totally agree. I am the last person to question lore - at this point my version of Hircine might as well be an entirely new Prince :p

      I know we talked about Nocturnal in your 'verse but I am not entirely sure where you are plan on taking her (although looking forward to seeing what you do - that's the fun of these stories) so I fall back on what I do know of her.

      Cheers!

    Splendid set and story!

    At times like this I really feel disabled for not having English as a natural tongue. I get so inspired to write myself, but I can't keep my stories together and it takes too damn long to struggle with the grammar. It's a real joy reading yours though and with those magnificient shots it's really completed...
