Miraak had you cornered, finally. He had you in Apocrypha, terrified and pushed against the wall. You and him had been fighting for hours now. Your energy was gone and you were heavily wounded. He approached with his sword, and brought it down upon you.

Your eyes shut immediately, preparing to die. But no. He dropped the sword, and helped you up with his free hand.

Miraak took his mask off, revealing his handsome face. Dark hair, and dark eyes. Mean eyes. But you could tell he wasn't mean... just... scared.

"Hermaeus Mora has trapped me here. I'm working for him. I'm done now... and I'm sorry. Dragonborn. Maybe there can be two."

He said, clutching your hand. Then, in a flash, you were in his house-type area. Still in Apocrypha. It looked like the rest, though. A deep green, tentacles, all of that. But of course there were two storeys, the top one with a bedroom layout. Miraak got you on his bed, and began patching your deep and dangerous wounds.
