Encounter with Sheogorath

Vincent then left the girls for a while with the other children and Odahviing, who was not happy with Vincent's decision but didn't complain to make up for Lucia almost dying.

Vincent went with Balgruuf to the Blue Palace and Balgruuf says, "It was a nice surprise to see you change into a Dragon after shouting."

"For me too. I'm happy it worked or I might have had to stop the fall in the old fashioned way using my spear and my body," says Vincent happy it all ended well in the end.

"You would have died from that fall," says Balgruuf.

"Better I than my daughter," says Vincent as they arrive at the Blue Palast and find a beggar in front of it asking for help to find his master.

"Sir can you help me find my master. He is somewhere in the Blue Palast in the Pelagius Wing," says the beggar making Balgruuf feel shills passing through his body.

"Let's leave fast," says Balgruuf entering the Blue Palast wanting to ignore the beggar because of this feeling he had when he was near the Daedric Artifact in Whiterun they pass the beggar as fast as possible.

"Why ignore the beggar?" asks Vincent confused.

"You might not know this but Pelagius was driven crazy by Sheogorath the Daedric Prince of Madness. The Pelagius Wing was closed since that day. And if my gut feeling can be trusted that beggar is in a relationship of Master and Servant with Sheogorath," says Balgruuf explaining why Vincent should ignore the beggar for his own good.

But Vincent thought he would be fine with his blessing and says, "Maybe I should enter the wing just to make sure don't want that one of your children runs off into it."

"You feel that confident in yourself," says Balgruuf as he began to think and says, "I will see what I can do for you once I'm on my throne."

They walk up and the people had a puzzled look as they look at Balgruuf and Vincent. The Stewart Falk Firebeard bows and says, "Jarl Balgruuf. I didn't know you would come. Jarl Elisif isn't around. She went to visit you."

"I know. I come from meeting her. I gave my hold up to her and she gave me this hold as recompensation. This is Vincent the future High King also the future husband of Elisif. He honored me by bringing me and my children over so I wouldn't be attacked by bandits," says Balgruuf explaining the situation to Falk.

"So she left everything behind. It's good she is still young and a fresh start will do her good even if she still has Torygg in her heart," says Falk happy as well as sad at the same time.

"I have a question. My friend wants to inspect the Pelagius Wing. Do you have the key to enter it?" says Balgruuf.

"Are you sure the last person that entered came out crazy. I really don't want to risk the safety of our future High King," says Falk worried.

"Don't worry, I'm just taking a quick look at it just to make sure that nothing dangerous is in the wing that can attack Balgruuf's children," says Vincent with confidence.

"Alright, just be careful," says Falk as he hands over a key to Vincent and says, "Close the door behind you. There are some curious maids that want to enter the wing to clean it and find out what really happened in there."

"I will be right back," says Vincent as he walks away and returns again and asks, "Where is the door that leads to the wing?"

"Let me guide you there before explaining and showing everything to Jarl Balgruuf," says Falk making Vincent remember something.

"Right, a second," says Vincent as he takes out the Balgruuf's luggage from his bag and leaves it on the ground and says, "Alright, now we can go."

Fall brings him to the door that leads to the wing and leaves then while Vincent opens the door and enters the wing and locks it behind himself. He walks around and sees everything full of dust as he walks through the room. "They really don't clean here as Falk said. I have a feeling that I'm being watched," says Vincent to himself as he walks through the room.

Suddenly everything turned dark for a moment and he finds himself in a forest with a man sitting on a stone throne with a giant table in front of him and another man sitting across the man on the throne. Cheese was served on the table to eat with some wine. Vincent approaches them and the man on the throne had quite crazy fashion sense wearing clothes that were split in two different colors that were opposite to each other. The man had white hair but his face seemed ageless as if he never aged.

The man stands up and says, "Look there a visitor. It's so long I had a visitor beside old Pelagius here. Come sits beside us."

Vincent gets nearer and sits down across the man and besides Pelagius. The man snapped and cheese appeared on the dish before Vincent and says, "Eat we have time. Never seen an armor like yours before and your race too. I may not live as long as my brothers and sisters but I know that you must be from outside Nirn."

"Brothers and sisters?" asks Vincent confused.

"Right, you aren't from Nirn. I'm Sheogorath the Daedric Prince of Madness. But I was also called the Hero of Kvatch before. But I prefer to be called Sheogorath now. So you should call me that or I might turn you to cheese," says Sheogorath and Vincent didn't even touch the cheese after hearing Sheogorath say that.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't serve a human to eat I'm not Namira after all or would I? I don't know myself," says Sheogorath making Vincent head spin around from his sentence having no head or feet.

"Thank but no thanks. I'm just here to tell you a beggar is outside the Blue Palast waiting for you I think," says Vincent.

Sheogorath holds his chin and sits down and begins to think out loud, "It can't be Martin he is long dead. Neither one of the Blades or the Knights of the Nine they would never call me like that. It must be the little pest Dervy am I right he is the only one I left in Solitude."

"Could be I don't know for sure since I never asked his name," says Vincent confused about what Sheogorath said.

"Right, but let's make a bet. If you can free Pelagius from his nightmares I will take little Dervy back," says Sheogorath as a staff appears in his hand and hands it over to Vincent and says, "The only thing that you can use is the Wabbajack and nothing else. Cheating is not allowed and will be punished. Now go and show me some fun."

Then the fog around them disappeared as well as Pelagius and Vincent takes the middle path and finds a sleeping Pelagius on a bed. "Right you have to protect him from his Nightmares here. Good Luck," says Sheogorath and people of Pelagius' past appeared and came storming towards them and Jack who never used a magic staff before just use the staff as a regular weapon and kicks the people's asses making Sheogorath laugh.

"Did you never us a magic wand before. That can't do you need to charge the staff with your Magicka and point in the direction where you want it to hit. Try it the next time," says Sheogorath still laughing about Vincent beating the shit out of the past nightmares of Pelagius.

Vincent returns and takes the left way coming out of the one from the middle and he appears in an arena and Sheogorath says, "Ah, the arena. You need to defeat Pelagius' opponent now. A little hint your staff can turn lifeless things into living beings and vice-versa."

Vincent then points towards his opponent and turns him into a chicken and Sheogorath laughs again and says, "The old turn you into a chicken spell. It's quite useful but you should kill your opponent not just defeat him."

Then Vincent points at the statues on the other side of the arena and the became real wolves that attacked the chicken killing and eating it. "Well done only one is left and I will consider what I said before."

Then Jack walks straight towards the last entrance and finds Pelagius fighting against two people and Sheogorath says, "Now that one is the easiest of the three things you should do is defeat those two while helping Pelagius survive. Show me the spirit you showed me in the first test. It reminded me of my old brute self."

Vincent just beat both up with the Wabbajack and Pelagius disappears. Vincent returns to the middle of the forest and sees three Pelagius eating now on the table and Sheogorath says, "Bravo bravo, you really made it even in a not traditional way but I can look away from it since you entertained me. Now, what was it again that you wanted."

Sheogorath puts his hand on his chin and does as he is thinking when Vincent wanted to answer and Sheogorath says, "Right, little Dervy. Alright, I will take that boring follower back." He snaps his finger and Dervenin appears in front of both and wants to speak but Sheogorath turns him straight into a cheese wheel stunning Vincent.

"I did as you wanted. Now for your reward of entertaining me, I will gift you the Wabbajack since I can't make you my champion. The Divines really made a nice job with you. I will look forward to your future, future Emperor. And now go I need to take care of little Dervy now," says Sheogorath as he snaps his finger and Vincent appears in the hall of the Pelagius Wing.

He thought it was a dream at first but he sees the Wabbajack in his hand and realizes something and says, "I'm happy that it didn't end in a fight or I might not have won against him."

Vincent leaves the Wing and at least ten guards were surrounding him guarding the door just in case a crazy Dragonborn came out of the wing to put him down. If they only knew he was immortal and it was impossible to kill him except they separate his body and bury him in different locations so he doesn't can recuperate. Even with blood loss he will only feel weak and will lose consciousness until the wound is closed and the heart begins to make more blood.

"Guards stand down he seems normal," says the Guard Captain Aldis seeing Vincent normal. Vincent then locks the door and walks past them.

"Can you bring me to Jarl Balgruuf and Falk Firebeard?" asks Vincent the Guard Captain Aldis.

"Right follow me they are awaiting us most likely," says Aldis as he walks in front of Vincent to bring him to Balgruuf and Falk.
