When Johnathan (or John as everyone called him) returned to the Bruma forge from the Blades secret drop site he had a couple of letters in his grasp.

"Edwin, William has written us another letter; you have also received a letter your courter and I have a letter from an unknown person." John yelled to his sister who was currently repairing a set of amour.

"Thanks John," She said as she finished mending her amour; once she was done, she leant over and grabbed the letters from where he set them down on the bench near the forge. Edwin decided to read the unknown person's letter; while John read William's letter.

"Will said the war in Skyrim is in a stalemate, they are looking for more help again." John told Edwin as he finished reading the letter.

Edwin looked up from her letter, "Well this letter is written in an old Blade code and is asking if someone could travel to Skyrim to help this person out." Edwin said; she had a look on her face that John knew all too well, "I think I am going to Skyrim to take care of both of these problems."

John nodded his head to his sister, "If you are going then I am coming too. I think it is time the family is together again and you know I cannot let you go to war without protection Edwin, as you are too important; also I think it is time you and your lover man were reunited."

Edwin nodded her head, with a smile on her face, in acknowledgement. She was aware of this fact, as even though she was the third born child (John is the oldest), through the family trials she beat her older brothers to become the head of the family, as their parents passed away some years ago. Most people thought they were a close family of blacksmiths and sellswords, who the head of is the best blacksmith and sellsword in the family (which Edwin was, hence the reason she was the head); but that was only the family cover story since the battle of Bruma.

Edwin looked down at her personal letter which she hadn't had time to read yet, but knew she wanted to be with him again soon, "I believe it is time to move the family fully to Skyrim; we will be safe there." Edwin paused as she thought how to go about it, "destroy the parts of the forge that cannot fall into someone else's hands but we can't take with us; pack what we can take with us including what we must take; and then we will sell the rest to the mayor to sell on later."

John nodded his head, there was not a lot left in Bruma, or even Cyrodiil for them, not since the fall of the blades six years prior. The knights of the Templar could look after themselves and are were hiding anyway as they still worshipped Talos; even though it is technically banned.

Just at that moment John's daughter Julie walked into the forge, "Papa, the mayor asked me to let you and auntie know that the Thalmor are sniffing around the town again." At this comment John and Edwin shared a look they knew with the Thalmor around town again they had to get out as soon as they could.

John turned to his daughter as Edwin started to write a letter to the mayor of Bruma, "Julie, go and pack your knapsack with everything you want to keep, we are going to join your uncle in Skyrim." Julie lit up at that comment as she missed her uncle, as her father, aunt and uncle was all she had left (her mother died during the war not long after she was born).

John started packing what they needed to take from the forge and what needed to be destroyed, as Julie left to pack. Edwin left to talk to the mayor and to the stable so they could prepare the family horses for travel; as they were leaving as soon as they were packed (it is still morning).

When Edwin return, John had most of the forge sorted. Between them they had the forge finished in no time and started to destroy in the forge what they weren't taking or leaving behind. Once they finished that they went to the house and started packing their rooms up. There was a lot in the house to sort as they had to sort into four piles instead of three. Once they had finished it was midday; they destroyed what they needed to destroy, packed what they were taking in to the travel bags (they have two pack horses to carry gear), and got everything ready they were going to sell.

"Julie, are you ready to go?" John called through the house to his daughter as Edwin got the last of the items packed. "Coming Papa" Julie called down the hall to John, as she left her room with all of her gear with her. Once she had arrived John and Edwin grabbed the gear they were not taking with them.

"We are going to head to the shop and to the mayor's office to deal with the gear we are not taking with us and the sale of this place. Why don't you go say goodbye to your friends and pray at the temple. Once we are all done we will hit the road." Edwin said to Julie as they were getting ready to head outside. Julie nodded her head and put her bag down with the gear they were going to take (that was sitting just inside the forge) so that they knew where everything was.

It did not take them long at the shop before they were heading over to the mayor's office, as they entered they saw the mayor near the entry way weighting for them to turn up. "John, Edwin, it is good to see you again, are you ready to get this sorted?" the mayor said to them as soon as he saw them enter. At this comment Edwin nodded her head as they wanted to hit the road by night fall so that they could be safely away before the Thalmor return to the town. "Very well, I believe the agreed price was 10,000 Gold for both the building and the forge." As he turn back towards his office to get the required money from the safe so that he could pay them. Once he had the money and passed it over Edwin handed him the key to the house, "We currently have everything stored in the forge area so as soon as everything is on our pack horses we will give you the key to the forge." John said as the mayor had handed Edwin the paper work to sign before the money could be handed over, "Don't worry about giving me the key directly, when you get back to the forge, leave it there and the forge unlocked I will go and collect it from the forge when I inspect the house later on today." The mayor said as he and Edwin exchanged the paper work and money. Once this was all done they left the office to head back to the forge to star taking the gear to the stable to be loaded onto the pack horses.

Eventually by 3 pm that day, they had the pack horses packed. John then left to collect his daughter (who was saying goodbye to her friends), as Edwin got the three riding horses and the two pack horses ready to go. When John and Julie return to the stable they got on their horses, Shadow, Swift, and Danny. John and Edwin grabbed the leads to the pack horses Goldie and Fred. They were off, to Skyrim, family and hopefully safety.
