The Difference Between A False God And Gods Who Ignore Pt 2

After my adventures in Sandstone Cavern, I decided to resume my journey to Kvatch. I would pawn off the jewls that Slyth had brought to his false God, and by myself a new weapon. However, when I approached the long upward road to Kvatch I was approached by man who was crazed with fear. He told me that Kvatch and most of its population had been swallowed up by all matter of Daedra. Now Slythe's words about Kvatch made sense. I ran up the road until I came upon a camp of refugees. The surviving population of Kvatch no doubt. I asked around about Martin until one old priest told me that he had stayed behind to help as many as he could and that he might still be alive, holed up in the chapel. I ran further up the road until I was before the city gate of Kvatch.

That was when I saw it. I great gate, wreathed in flame. Something from the darkest depths of nightmares. A man who called himself Salvian Matius, Captain of the Kvatch troops, approached me and demanded to know what I was dong there and about how I was in danger. In turn I did some demanding of my own. I was basically an Imperial servent at that point and had been kept in the dark for most of my service. He told me that the gate was some sort of portal to the daedric realm of Oblivion. Now I had heard of Mages summoning Daedra from time to time when doing battle, but this kind of perversion was unheard of. My whole attitude concerning my mission changed at that point. I had to rescue Martin Septim from this Hell on Earth and get him to the safety of Weynon Priory, even if it meant going through that Gate myself. The Captain advised me against it, saying that none of his troops had returned out of the Gate or found a way to close it. But I went on through anyway.

Oblivion is Hell. I have no doubts about that now. All but two soldiers were dead, corpses charred or devoid of skin or even flesh. Only one made it back through that gate to our world alive, and he was the one who sent me in the direction to close the gate. The other soldier was a prisoner in a tower. I fought my way to rescue him, but when I had cleared the way he simply gave me the secret and told me to leave him. His sacrifice will never be forgotten. He told me that the secret to closing An Oblivion Gate is to remove the Sigil Stone from its place in the Sigil Keep which is located in the top of the main tower. I told him I would do this and return for him. However, when I had retrieved the stone, I was sent back to our world, without the catured soldier. He was gone, left to endless days of torture. I vowed that I would never let that happen again. Though I could hear what was left of the Kvatch guards cheering my name, My soul was crushed.
