'That he cannot leave from our sight. Not until we say so.' I add 'Also that if he leaves you will break a few bones.'

A small headache entered the thief's head and suddenly his body felt like it was bound by chains.

The thief let go of the charm, letting it drop to the ground. They picked it up.

The charm was an amulet, not connected to a necklace. It was a green crystal.

I hold the charm and hold it out. It engulfs in flame and turns to ash. I let them fall to the floor. 'Let us go.'

We sit on Draalfahdrem and fly to the other end of Summerset. There the terrain was beautiful. Trees and flowers everywhere. It was an amazing jungle. But it the middle was an area of death and desolation.

'Over there. The orb.'

Within his chains, he screams, "NO!!!"

The body groans. "Dinok, grip his arm. The shout might be wearing off."

Remembering he might die, he silenced himself. Live to die another day. 

The amulet was his village's greatest artifact. Ironically, he stole it. Not to sell it, but to keep bravery and strength during his travels. 

As long as you don't influence anyone?

I used the shout to find out about him.

'You stole that charm, for bravery and strength?' I chuckle, 'A thieving bastard like you does not deserve a charm like that. Now get going. The mental chain crushed his arm and dragged up onto Draalfahdrem.

Pressure rose against his left arm. One of them must be gripping his arm. He could hear every single word. Where are they taking him? He must think he was a spy of some sort. Wouldn't want to expose the cult or whatever they were doing; Demon rituals? And one other thing: how did he understand their dragon words?

Wait. if he can hear me, I need to communicate!

'The only reason you understand me is because I am connected to your corrupted mind. When I release you, you will not understand Dovahzul because you do not have any bit of discipline, spiritual or mental. You are not Dovahkiin so you don't have the ability to understand Dovahzul without those two things. I don't trust you because Dovahthur's slaves have the ability to lie in their mind.'

NO! I'm not evil! Please don't release me! My name is Aksel! My village has been taken by Imperials and has been oppressed for years! If you release me, I will never lay my eyes on you and you on me. Please!

The body does not move; it simply changes emotion.

Wait, a dragon overlord? Who...what are you dealing with here?

And why did you destroy my charm?!
