13 What is time? Maybe too long? Perhaps it’s too short.

Thadon turns his attention to the outsiders he has never seen before, curious creatures. He begins to ponder what this could mean. But time waits for none. For it's too long, then it can become too short. What fickle thing, time is, regardless work must be done for time wait for none.

Thadon speaks in a wise, slow tone almost as if he has been waiting for centuries. "Ah look who had arrived late, I almost died waiting but you are here now"

He continues to berate the two duos for making him wait "waiting for so long, you might think it does not bother me. But maybe it does, perhaps I am already dead, conceivably I simply don't care?"

Dovah sighs as he has to deal with another insane person. "Maybe you don't care?"

Thadon eyes wide " I don't? Then again I thought you would be taller? Don't you think? How small and insufficient you are. Almost as if you already disappearing before my eyes".

Then he begins to ball his eyes out "regardless is all the same! Meaningless, without the chalices, have you ever tried it? Of course, what am I saying? you must try it!"

Jazara replies " Jazara think you are referring to the chalice of reversal?"

His expression brightness up with a cheerful smile essentially his previous crying was but an illusion.

"So you have heard of it! How delightfully."

Dovah shakes his head "No, I haven't heard of it"

Thadon furrows his eyebrows, wondering if they were playing a joke on him "you haven't heard of it, yet you can say its name? What a bizarre thing you are!"

He continues to praise his chalice "my favorite toy, it brightness my creativity, widening my horizon. Hmm, seem like your too dull to understand."

"So listen well, you eat the felldew then you use the chalice. Then it's hit you! Ah, you get to see the world so bright and full of jazz! My head is in cloud nine.

"So without it, I can't eat felldew. It would be bad! Oh, the horror can it cause, imagine becoming dumb as a mortal? Of course, no offense toward you two lovely people. Unlike someone! Damn her, just thinking of her! Ruins the mood" he begins to take a deep breath trying to stabilize his mood.

Dovah confused as he questions "who exactly"

Thadon scowls while remembering an unpleasant memory " it great to indulge me yet I even share a bit for her! She so ungrateful, everyone slips is it so bad?"

Thadon's mood quickly changes to an expression of adoring "aah, it was a true sight to behold. It was a warming passion. Forbidden which made it even more engaging, so delicious to have" he begins to lick his lips almost as if he could already taste it.

Thadon tone turns into a warning "and you better not tell anyone! Imagine what could be said, all of those hurtful rumors that can be spread! Stolen from dementia own court. Such self-preservation makes me want to applaud."

Dovah ponders on what he had said, wondering what he meant. "So do I know her?"

Thadon squint giving off a dangerous glare " you wouldn't fall for her. Would you? Of course, you wouldn't. Nope of course not, she not the type to fall for."

Dovah questions "so what happened?"

Thadon sadly says "strangely enough, we attracted to each other, funny, although we are opposite." he sighs in a deep regret tone " all of that pain and pleasure gone, swept away by time. Almost as if it never existed in the first place.

In a tired tone, he sits on a chair "unfortunately I would rather forget but the chalice is also locked away. So you're going to get it for me, it will do you some good in getting it for me. Now go, my head is throbbing from the creativity. I must rest and find

someone else to tell you the rest of the story."

Has he turns away to his panting, admiring his artistic painting. Jazara and Dovah begin to wander around until they met a particular Argonain. Who went by the name WideEye. She certainly had big eyes, that would stare deep into your soul. Her scale was a unique color, blue.

With big wisdom eyes, she starts rambling on "you have been talking to Thadon, haven't you? Ah yes, he certainly affects those around him. I can see that in you, maybe he mentions something about me?" while she starts to daydream of her crush.

Dovah asks about the chalice, wondering where it could be.

Wide Eye gets visibly upset " don't ask too many questions for it precious to him! And that what matters the most. He probably didn't mention where it could be right? Such brilliance, makes me go awe of him. Very clever of him, such an outstanding movement." as she feverishly thinks about it with an even more fanatic feeling for him.

Dovah sighs as he interrupts her daydream "where the location of it?" she abruptly wakens from her wet trance "dunroot burrow, is your goal. It the most unique place the chalice could be. Along with the elytra and felldew. All together make a good poison to eat. The elytra would carry some felldew, you're going to need it. For none can enter without eating the felldew."

Wide eyes in a pitying tone say "such a tough road of ahead of you. For that his lesson for you, as you must learn. To grow and gain experience, his way of teaching. Northeast of new sheoth, for that, where you will find the place.

Both duos continue their journey towards dunroot burrow, for they will go and consume the most addictive drug in Sheoth land.
