DialogueEdit
Song of AwakeningEdit
As you approach the isle between the bridges, her vision will approach exclaiming, "No! Please! I can't take it anymore!"
Stop and speak to her, and she'll say:
- "No, another monster! I'd almost escaped. Don't hurt me!"
- I'm not going to hurt you! Snap out of it.
- "What? Who … who are you? The last thing I remember, I was performing. I'd just reached the crescendo, and then the sky … Shor's bones, the sky!"
- What happened?
- "I don't know. And I can feel my mind slipping away. Please, help me. Find my mentor, the great Sage Odana. She was at my performance. If anyone knows what's happening, she will. Hurry!"
- I'll speak with the sage.
- "What were we talking about? Please, Mistress. Don't hurt me."
- Can you tell me about this place?
- "Of course, Mistress. As you know, we bards call it Skald's Retreat. The greatest talespinners in Skyrim gather here. And, of course, we have loremaster Brugar as well. Keeps a library of ancient stories and artifacts."
- I'm not your Mistress.
- "I hear your challenge, Mistress, and I heed your call. It was my honor to weave the song for you."
- Song?
- "Yes, the song. The ancient song, the ancient tune. Your whispers in the night. They inspired me so. But I know you don't wish me to speak of it."
Later in the quest, as you defeat Vaermina's minions, and Maraamur sings the "Song of Sinmur", she'll come running and confirm:
- Engling : "It worked, friend. Come on and see!"
- "Kyne's breath! You've done it."
- Just good to see you all awake.
- "Aye! And I'll be lucky if Odana doesn't toss me in the lake tonight. Still, don't doubt it for a minute, my friend. The song of this day will be sung from every tavern in Skyrim."
- "I had no idea I was in Vaermina's thrall. She'll never touch my mind again, my friend."
