Psijic conversation and new winterhold.

"Process of elimination is it then? what about outliers such as rogue mages?" savos asked curiously. "learning any type of space magic with a teacher is extremely hard not to mention alone , frankly i would be surprised if such a person wouldn't be ancient if it was true." alastair shot the arch mages idea down. "longevity is fairly easy for an accomplish mage as i'm sure you are aware." savos shot back. "it is what it is , though i'm sure someone will be along shortly to confirm who i thought was watching." alastair said calmly.

As if the fulfil some prophecy the space rippled nearby and a tall breton in gold and cobalt robes stepped out onto the deck. savos wasn't a sore loser and merely shrugged off the smug look alastair threw him. the breton focused on alastair immediately after arriving with both a calm expression as well as a cautious stance. savos picked up on this and knew his own caution was justified if even a psijic was worried. "why have you come to this world stranger?" the breton asked business like. "just a bit of strengthening and maybe solving a few problems bothering this place." alastair said calmly.

"I see and your previous actions?" the man asked visibly relaxing after alastair first answer. "not a fan of magical voyeurs is all , especially when they don't have my permission to watch. speaking of which how is the poor sap , not taking it too hard i hope." alastair said with a teasing expression. the psijic twitched just above his left eye in poorly concealed anger but quickly calmed himself. "he will recover fully from his wounds in time. be warned that should you act out of line...." the psijic started but was interrupted by alastair.

"Yes yes damnation and war i get it jeez can you be any more cliché. i have no intention of getting involved in the upcoming apocalypse i promise , i will take that bit of dawn magic nearby though." alastair said bored. "that is unacceptable." the psijic said seriously. "don't worry i'm only going to use it to kill a certain prince is all , I'll give it back after that." alastair said reassuringly. "you seek to meddle where you are unneeded , leave the item alone and stay away from the daedric princes if you know whats good for you." the psijic said firmly.

Alastair shrugged "i was just going to help you all but if you insist so be it , is that all or do you need something else?" alastair asked. "that is everything , for now at least." the psijic said calmly. "great then shoo off my ship already." alastair said with a grin. the psijic teleported away with a huff leaving savos with alastair. "i feel like i am wholly out of my depth at this point." savos admitted honestly. alastair laughed " oh you don't even know the half of it." alastair said with a teasing grin.

After that alastair and the group were invited by savos to the college as guest which they accepted. alastair sailed the ship a few miles south where the city of winterhold came into view and alastair had to admit the real version sold its desolation far better than in the game. the buildings that were still standing were covered in snow and obviously falling apart. there were crushed rotted remains near the shore of other buildings that used to be there. the few people still living in winterhold were thrilled beyond words when they saw the magnificent ship sail into the dilapidated port.

Jarl korir comes to the docks himself in hopes of bringing new life into winterhold. alastair and most of the group minus spider who was only interested in new ingredients left the ship and were greeted by korir with mixed reactions. marina , jade and orion were greeted warmly but alastair , erisa and sorang were looked at with confusion and suspicion due to their non human features. korir changed his tune quickly when alastair used magic to restore the visible portion of winterhold and rebuilt a huge portion that had fallen into the sea with his own designs.

The new part of the city was built similar to venice on earth with sturdy underwater foundation pillars and plenty of waterways. the buildings were thick white stone domes that worked similar to igloos to trap heat inside. in the new center of winterhold alastair created a huge and magnificent castle for korir with the reason of rulers living in the most amazing place. the nearby college wasn't oblivious to this massive change as many of the mages there all felt the disturbance and watched in amazement at the feat of power before them. only a single person was extremely displeased when watching this construction , ancano.
