===A Predator's Heart===
After Knarstygg tells the Vestige to talk to her:
"Many drowned when the levees were broken. Others were eaten by the crocodiles. It's not the beasts' fault, though. It is their nature to hunt. Their spirits sing a song my heart hears. It is the song of the crocodile."
:The Song of the Crocodile? "They sing of nature's cycles. Every new life has its song, taken from an old one that is no more. Properly embodying the life of a creature often requires its death. The song of the crocodile is loud and powerful. I know its melody."
::Knarstygg and Dro-Dara are leaving. "I know. It is natural for them to now return to a life of adventure, but not so for me. I must follow another path. All my life, I have harbored a secret. It drove me to leave home and seek adventure, but now I must face my inner truth."
:::I think you should leave with the others. "I could not, even if I wanted to. I am older than they. I would not survive more than a few days out there. I have seen the future in the waters, and I must remain here. Here, at the end of my life, I must face the truth for the first time."
:::What is this inner truth? "That I am not an Argonian. I am a crocodile. This lifetime, I have borrowed the form of another, but my true form is calling me home. I must return to the river."
::::Are you feeling all right? "No. I am not. I never have. My entire life, I have felt like a crocodile out of water. Literally. I am old now, and this body is dying. If I become a crocodile, I can start anew. Live the life I was meant to live."
:::::How could you become a crocodile? "There is a way. An incantation—the crocodile song. I was never taught it, but I have known it my whole life. One song must end for another to begin. There is an old crocodile here. Ripplestrike. With his heart, I can sing the song."
::::::I will get you this heart. "Thank you. The river has truly guided you here for this purpose. Take this charm. Place it near Ripplestrike's nest. He will not be able to resist the call. He will come out, and then you can kill him."
After taking Ripplestrike's heart:
"Ripplestrike no longer sings. Have you taken his heart? Hurry. We must move quickly if we are to renew the song."
:Yes, I have the heart. "Here then. I will begin the incantation. I would ask you to help me in this one last thing before I return to the river."
::What would you ask? "Join me in vengeance. These bandits have destroyed what's left of my home. I would begin my next life by avenging my previous one, but I will need you to guide me. I wish to kill their leader."
:::Why do you need me to guide you? "When I become a crocodile, I will forget this life. If I fight beside you, I can keep my focus, at least for a little while. I have made the preparations. Eating the heart is the last step. Fight with me, before I am gone forever. Are you ready?"
::::I'm ready. What's next? "Though my mind may not recall the favor you have done for me, my spirit will. And the river … the river never forgets. This charm will keep me close. If we are parted, use it and I will come. When our task is done, tell Dro-Dara of my fate."
:::::I will. Good luck to you, Murk-Watcher.
