FormID: 010053A9 00Hypatia GREETING 0 Merry Meet, good friend! May the Goddess pull you from Oblivion into her warm embrace.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 0 In all my travels, I've met prophets and madmen. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 1 However, I found it very interesting that some of these people are predicting the exact same things, despite never meeting each other.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 2 These prophets, I've found on opposite sides of Cyrodiil. but one named Keyes seemed to have been the first.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 3 What he says is that the Empire will soon collapse, with Elsweyr and Black Marsh seceding from it.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 4 Argonians will invade and conquer Morrowind.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 5 Then a floating city will be spotted and it will be the destruction of Black Marsh.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 6 All this will happen, they say, in the next fifty years. I believe it's true.
FormID: 010053A8 00Hypatia Prophecies 7 We live in interesting times, and they are about to get moreso.
FormID: 0100683C 00Hypatia NagmahtheWizard 0 My master was a powerful and wise wizard named Nagmah, the greatest wizard that no one has heard of.
FormID: 0100683C 00Hypatia NagmahtheWizard 1 He created his own plane of existence very close to our realm, so close that his tower in the sky could sometimes be seen when the moonlight hit it.
FormID: 0100683C 00Hypatia NagmahtheWizard 2 He could view all of Cyrodiil from it, but he cared not for matters of our world.
FormID: 0100683C 00Hypatia NagmahtheWizard 3 He spent his time evoking and conversing with demons from a thousand different worlds!
FormID: 0100683C 00Hypatia NagmahtheWizard 4 Once, I asked him why he preferred the company of demons to men, and he merely answered that men were hypocrites, demons weren't.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 0 As Nagmah was researching a spell to stop time, a beautiful Seducer appeared before him, seeking to tempt him away from his work.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 1 [QUOTE]Take me Nagmah, for I am beautiful and ready for you. I shall give you delights the which no mortal has ever known![QUOTE]
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 2 Nagmah peered up from his spellbook and scowled at the thing before him. It had not yet taken a physical form, but he knew it would if he took her.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 3 [QUOTE]Foul thing![QUOTE] he spat, [QUOTE]You are not beautiful but wretched and ugly. You have taken the semblance of flesh, but have sullied your spirit.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 4 Therefore, you have forfeited the blessing of flesh, of which you aren't, and spirit, of which you are.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 5 Since he recognized her for her illusion, the Seducer cried out in fury and faded back to Oblivion.
FormID: 0100683E 00Hypatia NagmahaandtheSeducer 6 Nagma used no weapon and no spell to dispatch her, merely wisdom. That is the power of a true wizard.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 0 I fell in love with my master. He was kind, strong, wise, and very good looking despite his 463 years of life.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 1 This feeling grew stronger and stronger as my studies progressed until it began interfering with them.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 2 I could only think of him and I lost focus on my studies. My magic began to fail.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 3 Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore! I had to make him mine. So I asked him to marry me.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 4 I will never forget that day. My worst mistake. The look on his face of pity and disappointment, I'll never forget it.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 5 He pitied me because I had fallen in love. He was disappointed in me for the same reason. But that's not what hurt most.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 6 I pressed the issue, and I guess I shouldn't have. I just didn't understand why we couldn't be together.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 7 I pushed him too hard, so he finally became firm with me and told me why he couldn't marry me. I'll never forget what he said.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 8 [QUOTE]A wizard knows how to silence the tempests and the howl of demons, but a wife, no man may silence.[QUOTE]
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 9 With those words, I suddenly found myself back in Cyrodiil. The tower was gone, the plane vanished before me. Nagmah had abandoned me.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 10 So, now I travel the land at night, hoping to get a glimpse of his tower in the sky, reflecting the moon light. I don't know if I will ever find it.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 11 But I will continue. I will make amends for listening to my heart, a sin among wizards who seal their hearts away in crystal boxes.
FormID: 01006840 00Hypatia LoveforNagmah 12 I will ask to have my heart taken out, as well. It's better than living with one that is broken and useless, don't you think?
