Prologue

*Beep* *beep* *beep* *bee- SMASH the blaring of the dime store alarm clock ending, shattered under the force of the blow of a furred appendage before it slithered back under the nest of blankets it came from. The figure in said blanket nest stirring from a restful sleep.

"Stupid clock, that's the third one this month." The figure croaked his voice still groggy from sleep.

Slowly getting up from his comfortable bed and stretching, his hands reaching for the ceiling with a satisfying series of pops along his back, lets out a sigh. He reached his behind him and gently grabbed the appendage growing the base of his spine, a blackish grey brush tail with a white tip, and gave a slight pull releasing the tension from the night before in a series of satisfying pops. Releasing his tail and giving it a quick flick the figure fumbles around the wall he until he finds a switch and flips it briefly wincing from the brightness from the light he trudged to the bathroom and shut the door with flip of his tail.

Flipping the light switch on, the figure turns and faces a full body mirror revealing his appearance. Brown colored skin and long black hair braided into dreadlocks that reached down to the middle of his back, eyes still bleary from sleep open further to reveal silvery gray irises with a slit pupils not unlike a cat or fox. A slightly larger than normal nose in the middle of his face and opening his mouth in a jaw cracking yawn shows teeth made for an omnivore, grinding molars near the back and sharper pointed teeth near the front the canines being more pronounced than on a regular person tied everything together. Turning away from the mirror he finishes his bathroom routine and steps out shaking his tail of excess water and dresses for the day ahead.

Coming down the stairs we see him wearing a uniform of sorts, a padded dark green flak jacket with an assortment of pouches placed about. Beneath that a long sleeve dark blue shirt covered his torso and riding up fishnet chain mail could be seen beneath above another blue shirt A pair of dark blue cargo pants with white tape around his ankles and around his right thigh were a weapons pouch lay and a pair reinforced open toed boots adorned his feet completed the ensemble.

Walking into the kitchen he sad down for a quick breakfast and opened today's newspaper. Reading an article about his assignment, a man-made Oblivion Gate that was going through the final test phases. His mission was to observe the Gate and ensure that any hostile factions were denied access to the Gate, as had been the case months ago where a radical group had interrupted the test and almost made off with the scientists before their guards subdued them.

Opening a closet door he reached inside and grabbed several items, the first a bo staff, it was an unusual bo staff in that it had several attachments that made it looked like it was made to change shape into something else. The other was a sheathed ninja-to that he attached to his back and with a quick whirl his bo staff compressed down into a size no more than about eight inches and slid it into a slot near his waist along his back. Satisfied he had everything he headed to the kitchen, and on the way out the door he grabbed his wallet opening it showed several cards and an ID displaying his face and name, Alexander Xavier Brushtail, checking the contents briefly before putting it in a pocket and grabbing his phone on the way out the door and disappearing in a blur of speed on the the nearby rooftops.

Making his way across the rooftops Alex was looked out at the city as it went by, humans, bipedal cats and lizards, elves and even small dragons commuted through the city streets and in the skies dragons and other figures could be seen jumping across rooftops and flying through the air to their destinations. But Alex paid them no heed as this was an everyday sight, his eyes set on a central building nearby that towered over the rest; his destination. Landing near the entrance he waves to get the attention of the guard, a mid size green colored dragon.

"Greetings, how are you?" Alex said in Dovahzul, the dragon language.

"I'm fine, thank you." The dragon replied in a rumbling baritone, inclining his head in greeting.

"I'm expected, I have a meeting with a few specialist in research and development." said Alex in Common language, fishing out his wallet and showing his ID to the guard before moving on when he was cleared. Making his way through the lobby Alex spotted several coworkers and gave a few greetings as he made his way up the stairs to the fifth floor or research and development. Opening the door he walks in to the sight of two people arguing about something, but its technical jargon and just flies over his head and ignores them and heads towards a lone female bipedal cat, a khajiit, looking over a clipboard and writing figures down. She looks up and smiles as Alex makes his way over.

"Hello Alex, S'mari is sorry for forgetting our lunch date. S'mari's cub came down with a sickness and this one could not leave her alone." S'mari said in greeting.

"It's no problem S'mari, I know how it is, I hope little T'masi feels better soon." Alex said smiling; giving S'mari a hug as well.

"T'masi knows that her uncle Alex is always worrying about her and she knows that Alex wasn't mad about missing his date." T'masi said chuckling as she nuzzled into Alex's chin, Alex returned it with a smile thinking about his honorary niece.

They broke apart and S'mari led Alex to a archway that's been recently installed. It looked like an old Oblivion Gate but with some major modifications, it was reinforced with metal and had a lattice of wires running across it connecting it to a massive glowing soul gem the size of a man as a power source. The gate was off at the moment, but the purpose of the gate was to manually open a gate to another realm without the need of one of the Daedric princes and putting the world in peril from unbound daedra. Of course the development of the gate had seen criticism from factions that felt that there was nothing else but the planes of Oblivion and the realms of the Daedric Princes beyond the gates and that the risk was not worth it. While others felt that there has to be more to the universe than just the Oblivion and Daedric realms, maybe even a path to Aetherium itself or beyond.

Beckoning the pair of squabbling scientists over, S'mari directed them to begin the start up sequence for the Gate. Alexander watched as the soul gem glowed making the wires connected to it turn a cherry red from the power flowing through them. The power heading to the gate made it glow an ominous red setting an eerie tone and putting Alex on edge; from experience he knew that things of this magnitude never go this well and he'd be dammed before let something go wrong involving something like a man-made Gate. With sufficient power running through the Gate a deep humming began to build and a visual ripple of sapphire blue energy emitted from the Gate in pulsing waves before coalescing into a whirlpool of color as the Gates stabilized.

The scientists and S'mari, too caught up in monitoring the Gate, didn't see the air ripple around an invisible figure but Alexander did and casually put his guard up so as not to tip off the intruder and looked around for anymore intruders. Unfortunately several had managed to get into ambush positions around the Gate and S'mari. Before he could get off a warning they reappeared with shout; several of them charged the control panel and the soul gem smashing the panel before dropping to the ground dead with several kunai sticking from their bodies courtesy of Alexander. With one arm still extended from throwing Alex turned on the ball of one foot sweeping a leg out facing the opposite direction, widening his stance in a low crouch he shot both arms straight out fists clenched sending a chunk of the ground flying at another attacker at high speed. But the attacker saw the projectile coming and dropped into a low horse stance and crossed his arms across his torso bringing up a wall of stone blocking Alexander's attack dead and shot out a fist sending his own boulder back. Unfazed, Alex loosened his stance and with a quick wave motion drew water from his hip pouch and turning in place he quickly flowed through a water blade kata sending the blade of water flying at the boulder cleaving it in half sending the halves past him. Not losing a step Alex body-flickered to his attacker and delivered a vicious right cross that sent his attacker rag dolling across the ground unconscious.

In the time it took for Alexander to dispatch the first group of intruders a second managed to compromise the soul gem and flee, disrupting the energy flow and causing it to overload with unstable energy.

"Glory onto Dagon!" Yelled the last of the attackers before immolating himself and part of the Gate causing the portal to become unstable and grow uncontrollably.

"S'mari, grab the other scientists and get out of here now!" Alexander ordered while bracing himself against the high winds picking up from the vacuum of the Gate.

"S'mari will not leave without you, we go together!" She yelled back as she struggled her way to his side against the winds.

"Please you have to go-"

"No, S'mari will not leave her brother!"

"I'm not giving you a choice sister," Alex said under his breath steeling his nerves for what he must do.

"What did you say, this one did not-"

"I will always love you and T'masi, may you walk on warm sands." Alex interrupted, pulling S'mari into a hug trying to put everything he was and will feel into it before shoving her away with a wave of water out the laboratory door before freezing the water and the door shut in a thick layer of ice... he would never forget the shocked look on S'mari's face as the door quickly froze over. He turned back the the rapidly destabilizing Gate ignoring the muffled pounding and pleas from S'mari to turn back and flee but his mind was made up, he had to try to contain the explosive decompression that was sure to come or else it would take the building and possibly a large chunk of the city with it when it went.

Quickly going work, Alexander bent water and stone into a curved wall of sorts making layer upon layer around the Gate hoping to cushion the explosion and absorb as much of the energy as possible, but he was having limited success. For every five layers he added another two were sucked into the Gate but he kept it up knowing that the Gate would only absorb so much before the energy building up had nowhere to go but out in an explosion of energy destroying it and hopefully only the room with it. As the vacuum decreased Alex heard an ominous rumbling emanating from the Gate as energy and pressure built up. Low on energy from the amount of bending he'd done Alex turned around as he heard ice crackling from the sealed door, his sister had sent fireballs and lightning jutsu hoping to break in but he knew that it wouldn't be enough and smiled sadly knowing that she knew as well but knew she wouldn't stop.

"Don't do this please, there is still time you can make it!" S'mari pleaded her energy spent as she slumped against the frozen doors breathing heavily.

"You know I can't, someone has to try to contain this and you know I'm the best, I wasn't ranked S-class for nothing you know." He said softly moving to rest by the door to be near his sister one last time.

"This wasn't suppose to happen" S'mari said as she tried her hardest to stop the tears from leaving her eyes, "it was suppose to be a test run."

" I know, but you can't predict everything sister."

"S'mari won't stop you know, wherever Alex is going S'mari won't stop until S'mari can make a portal to find you." S'mari said with determination wiping her eyes of tears.

"This one knows S'mari won't quit, S'mari is to stubborn." Alex chuckled unknowingly dropping back into Khajiit pronunciation. Back at the Gate lighting arced from the Gate scorching the walls as the energy grew to critical levels an explosion being imminent. Reinforcing the walls and the laboratory doors a final time Alex turned and told S'mari to leave and after looking into his eyes a final time S'mari nodded but not before getting a final word in.

"S'mari will not say goodbye because goodbye is final, S'mari says she will see you again beloved brother, may you walk on warm sands." She stated new tears tearing down her face as she turn and fled leaving Alex behind.

"Farewell sister, may you walk on warm sands, I will see you again." Alex uttered as light from the Gate overtook him illuminating the entire room before rapidly shrinking into a pinpoint of light for a split second before exploding in a sapphire bloom engulfing Alex leaving nothing but shadows burnt into the ground.
