Summary
At the Summit of Apocrypha, Miraak dies. And then he dies again, and again, AND again. It was always his plan to escape Apocrypha, be it through Nirn... or through death. Things go awry, but, after all, his fate has always been his hands.

Summary
Mouth agape with displeasure, Arpina lets out a huff and turns around, dropping her head on her pillow and facing away in annoyance. Maybe she shouldn’t have asked him to sleep next to her.
(But no—better be irked by him than guilty.)
—
Miraak and Arpina share a bed. Neither of them want to. Sort of. Not really.

Summary
Next to her, Lucien makes a smug little sound of assent. “I didn’t think it would be to that extreme.”
Miraak stares at the both of them, apparently now well aware that they know something he doesn’t. He glares at them, jaw tightening. “What are you doing? Why now?”
—
Lucien and Arpina make a bet. Miraak finds himself victimized once again.

Summary
“Why are you staring?”
Arpina starts. “Well,” she says, smile forming on her lips, “I could ask you the same thing of earlier. When I was in the field, I mean, why were you watching me?”
“Am I not supposed to?” Miraak replies plainly, glancing up at her to raise his brows in questions.
—
Arpina and Miraak would never admit to enjoying the times when nothing happens at all. But 'nothing at all' doesn't mean that nothing happens between them.

Summary
As she sits up, though, stretching and turning her neck, pressing her fingers there as though to push the cricks out of it, she realizes that she’s not alone in her room, and—this isn’t her room. She’s certain of it, because the bag at the foot of the bed is Miraaks’ and not hers, and Miraak is sleeping on the floor—why is he sleeping on the floor? It’s not like he couldn’t have squashed her against the wall and shared the bed.
She certainly wouldn’t have minded.
—
Miraak rediscovers his poor alcohol tolerance. Arpina grants him a little reprieve.

Summary
Arpina shifts uneasily but continues walking next to him. She doesn’t want to seem scared, not at all. After all, it’s only rain. Nothing more, nothing less, right?
There is nothing (everything) to be afraid of.
—
Self-assurance is Arpina's fair-weather friend, but Miraak is nothing if not steadfast.

Summary
“Miraak,” Arpina calls from behind him. “Come back. I’m cold.”
He turns around. “I wrapped you in blankets.”
“Well, then you didn’t do it so well,” she says with a small, bleary frown, sitting up in a cocoon of the aforementioned blankets. He can’t help but think that she’s so lovely to look at. The view from High Hrothgar could not hold a candle to her as she is right now, sleepy, wild-haired, and asking for him to return to bed. “Come here.”
—
It's a beautiful morning. Miraak and Arpina make the most out of it with each other.

Summary
“But it is,” she says, and does not stop laughing for the next minute. Finally, she wipes the tears from her eyes and shakes her head. “Goodness. Ma paour gwaz, bested by his children.”
“I was ganged up on,” he grumbles, but even he cannot help the slightest tilt of a smile. “Is it going to be like this for the next five years?”
—
They always did say rowdy children make you feel your age. Miraak truly feels 5000 years old this time.
