(( I can't believe that I started this, but my mind was screaming at me to do it now now now!!!! Well here it is. I figured that our characters would be very old or dead by the time 2E 604, after the defeat of Molag Bal by the hands of the Soulless and after the Great War between the Three Great Factions. So some goodbyes are in order. Warning, tragedy and heartbreaks are normally in this RP, roleplayer's discretion is advised. ))
-----------------------------------------------
Azzanadra had gone missing for over a year and managed to evade all of his friends, even evading a certain vampire. Reason for this was that he was contemplating of whether to stay here in Tamriel and die peacefully, or go to Akavir and travel the continent despite his age. In the end, he decided to go to Akavir, but he needed to prepare first, and he wanted to say goodbye to all those who knew him.
He was visiting what appeared to be a gravesite on top of a hill in the island of Stros M'Kai. He had flowers on his hand and he placed the bouquet on top of the two graves. The tombstones were marked with slashes and their names appeared: Rahim La'Ahad and Soraya La'Ahad. They were Azzanadra's parents. Azzanadra knelt down before the two stones as he bowed and said, "Hello, Mother. Father. It's been a while." He then said, "I hope you are proud of what I had done. I had crippled the Dark Brotherhood. And I saved this world from Molag Bal's tyranny, along with the Soulless who helped me. I don't normally talk to you like this since you only treated me like property and not like person, but I guess I had to. I'm leaving again. This time, to the Akaviri nation. It will be perilous but I will go anyway."
"Hello Azzanadra." Someone said as Azzanadra looked behind to see who it was. It was a younger version of himself albeit this man had shorter hair and was a buzzcut. This man was also not an assassin, but a warrior like those spiritual warriors in their culture who summoned swords not by conjuration but by using sheer will, but that art was lost so he could not do it. The man was garbed in light Alik'r garbs along with its hood but was flopping on the wind behind him. He also had a wicked curved scimitar sheathed on the side of his hip.
Azzanadra said, "Oh, it's you, Ali. What is it?"
Ali shrugged as he said, "I came to pay my respects I guess."
"Come then, sit with me." Azzanadra said as Ali nodded to what Azzanadra told him to do. Ali knelt down beside Azzanadra and bowed before the graves. Azzanadra then said, "How is life for you?"
"Great I guess. Though being a townsguard is kind of boring. I want an adventurous life like you had, Azzanadra." Ali said to his fellow Redguard.
Azzanadra chuckled as he said, "You'd make a fine adventurer, except that you would get an arrow in the shin." Ali laughed to what Azzanadra said.
"Yeah, I'm kinda clumsy." Ali let out a chuckle, he then recomposed himself as he asked, "What are you going to do now?"
Azzanadra shrugged. He simply replied, "I'm going to Akavir."
"Akavir? Why? Are you going to leave that poor elf girl again?" Ali asked.
Azzanadra glared at Ali with wide eyes. He couldn't get angry at the man but for this one that he brought up... he just can't hold his emotions in. Azzanadra brushed off all of the rush of emotions when Danaris was mentioned as he said, "That is none of your business."
Ali said bluntly, "If you like her, you should stay with her. Doesn't matter if she doesn't like you or not. At least you're there for her."
"You are crossing some thin lines here. It's not that. Just don't bring her up and I will tell you." Azzanadra said calmly but some hints of anger and sadness was within his voice.
Ali sighed. Azzanadra would be stubborn about this and would not accept his feeling of love for Danaris when it was so evident in his actions to save her and fight for her. He nodded as he said, "So what's up?"
"I'm dying, Ali. I only have 4 years left. I want to spend that travelling in Akavir. After all, it would keep the pain away from having unrequited love." Azzanadra told him, with a sorrowful tone in his voice and sorrowful eyes.
"I see... but it doesn't excuse the fact that you're running away." Ali told Azzanadra as he stood up. Azzanadra looked at him wide eyed as he choked out, "What?"
"You're running away. You're afraid of the pain of rejection. That's why you're running away. What a coward you are. I bet you that she is disappointed right now." Ali told him as he folded his arms, amused with his answer and with Azzanadra's reaction.
Azzanadra, clenching his fist and fuming with anger, grabbed Ali by the neck and punched him straight at the face. He yelled at the downed Redguard, "You crossed the line! I told you that it's none of your business and yet you stuck your ass up in it, swishing it around in there."
"Well I'm not a coward! I would not hide my feelings for someone who I love! Just like I searched for you for 5 years to know you better!" Ali shouted back at him.
"Well, your mistake! Go to hell!" Azzanadra angrily yelled at him as he went down the hill slope. He was mad at his brother for being so right about what he was doing. He was running away. Running away from reality. From all this. He really thought that he would find solace in the land of Akavir, but perhaps not. Still, he made up his mind to go, and he would not be persuaded to turn around and go back home.
"Well, good riddance to you too!" Ali responded back as he got up and wiped the blood of his lip that was still dripping. He had never seen Azzanadra burst like that. He guessed that Azzanadra had held all of these emotions inside him for a long time and Ali just added to the bag to the point that it burst and uncorked. Ali then said to himself, "Azzanadra, I hope you're alright with this decision. You will regret it someday. You will. I know it." He then went down the hill slope, following the dark Redguard.
