Akim heard Nadya storm off to her room. He pressed his ear against the door to listen to what was going on.<br/>"She'll come around," his father was saying. "Eventually..."<br/>"Lord Abbadon, surely that's not all you saved her for - there must be a greater purpose?", said the guard captain.<br/>"Yes, there is.", said Abbadon. "Not only do I need an entertainer, but I need a wife as well. Someone who can bear me a nonmagical son with two arms... I need a chance to make things right, to start over."<br/>"But what about your other son?", asked the captain.<br/>"Dispose of him, Daedric," said Abbadon, "but not yet... do it after we marry."<br/>"Yes, my lord.", said Daedric.<br/>Akim was appalled. He knew his father had other plans, but nothing this great, or anything that involved his death. I must run away, he thought, and help her escape - but not before she performs once, it'll make her seem like she's cooperating. He exited his room, and walked to Nadya's. He knocked on the door and waited for an answer.
