Anccelmo was tied down to the makeshift bed of Snowpoint Beacon. When he first woke up he scread into his gag. Not to ntioned the amount of kicking and shaking he did. As it turns out Canary knew how to restricted a person from using magic. I took careful note of this since it could be useful later.
More or less it was just based on how you tied them up. Keeping their arms stretched out restricted the flow of mana. Hence they couldn't use any magic. Using the lock spell could also work apparently. Though one needed a mastery over the spell. Which most didn't have. The lock spell was rather useful, as long as you practiced and maintained an understanding of it.
Canary stared down at Anccelmo. She finally asked, "Have you exhausted yourself old man?"
He had a look of defiance, but he nodded his head. So Canary yanked the gag out of his mouth. He instantly spoke, "I knew you shouldn't have been dispatched. You still weren't ready."
She rolled her eyes, but I took note of the seemingly shared history. Anccelmo looked over at however and clicked his tongue. "If the order knew you would take a interest to such lowly creatures." He shook his head in so sort of condemning of .
Canary stood over the old man, "The past is the past and the present is the present. You know my skills, the techniques taught to . Do you wish to be subject to them?"
The old man clicked his tongue. "Alina, you won't get very far in life if you follow your foolish dreams."
So much drama, Viree was downstairs, but she had to be also listening in. Canary slamd a knife into the bed near his legs. She spoke in a cold tone, "That's not my na anymore. Now talk, before more serious action is taken."
He scoffed, "I am well trained. Like He-"
She shoved the gag back into his mouth and turned to smiling. "Vek, I am sure you have many questions. I will answer them all once I get the information out of our subject. Could you please leave alone while I preform my work. It can be rather... ssy."
I gave a nod, the look in her eye was terrifying. Canary was a beautiful won. However that made the look she gave all the more scary. Tis like these make prefer won like Viree. Speaking of, "Viree should be cooking food. I'll go join her."
Canary gave a nod and I moved quickly down the stairs. Viree looked over at , "So? Want so carrot stew?"
The day turned into night and the night turned into day. I stayed up the entire night since I couldn't sleep due to the sounds. Viree stayed up with the look on her face a lot paler than mine. We could hear Anccelmo's screams through his gag. I had used fear and speechcraft to get information out of the player Grey-prince.
Whatever I did, barely held a candle to whatever Canary was doing. I looked over at Viree who was staring off towards the hatch. She reacted first and sprinted over just as a Thalmor solider ca out of it. I was right behind her, Viree grabbed the solider and I slit his throat. I checked the the hatch and saw no one. I grabbed a clump of snow and dropped it down. It hit nothing and just fell to the bottom.
I was checking for invisibility. I have yet to see an invisible enemy, but the thought still made wary. I searched the Thalmor that ca up the ladder. He had nothing important on him. Viree gave a nod and dragged the body away to where we left the other bodies.
I walked back into the Beacon and saw Canary. I asked, "Is he talking?"
She shook her head, "Not yet, but he will soon. When normal interrogation thods fail. The most effective is always bored. Left alone long enough, people will talk. Specially those braced for torture. It's not that they are weak or anything like that, but being under subject to constant stimulus and then complete lack of that stimuli. It can drive even the most hardened insane if done right."
Canary looked around and asked, "Where's Viree?"
I pointed to the hatch. "Soone had co up. I think it is about ti for to head back down and see what I can uncover."
Canary nodded, "A full day has passed. The Thalmor have strict schedules, if Anccelmo is missing too long for so of those. Even if he is a high ranking wizard and officer, missing multiple days of scheduled als. It could easily raise alarm. If a new solider ca up it ans the look out shift has changed as well."
Canary stared at for a bit. "With your complexion actually... Are you a breton?"
I raised an eyebrow and Canary pointed to my ears. "Its very rare to see pointed ears on soone who isn't a r."
I blinked, I had forget about that. I knew exactly where she was going with this too. "I'll go get the armor off the body."
Canary nodded, and sat down to eat.
