CHAPTER ONE: The beginning

I approached my mother the queen of alinor.

"My son welcome." My mother said as i kneeled in front of her. "Tomorrow at noon you will get new marching orders, it will contain private mission and what you will be exactly."

"Yes mother." I replied. "What about the gift of lady black-briar?"

"Have it stored in the cellar whit the other drinks, you are dismissed Thorein." My mother said.

"As you wish, my mother." I stood up and walked out of the meeting hall of the palace."

As i stepped outside i see Mirvanye my second in command and loyal friend.

"Mirvanye i have a task for you to do."

"What is it my lord?" she replied.

"There are several crates from the lady black-briar over there can you get them to the cellar?" i asked.

"It will be done my lord." she said with a bow.

It is a quiet evening in Alinor as i looked up the sky i thought about tomorrow mother had something important for me to do. I decide to go see how the guards at the prison are doing since i am close to the prison.

I walk towards the palace prison to check on the men station there.

I see the two guards at the entrance wearing standard elven armor of the aldmeri dominion.

The two guards at the gate greet me, with a fist bump on the left chest and a nod.

"Greetings men, how is everything going tonight?"

"Good sir all is quite now."The soldier on the left replied.

"Are you going to visit the commander sir?" The other guard asks.

"Who is on duty tonight then if i may ask?" I replied.

"Commander Catha is working tonight sir." The first guard replies me.

"Thank you i will see how she is doing and goodnight men."

"Both of the men nod and said goodnight my lord."

I open the door to enter the prison and walk towards the commander's office.

A guard stands for the door and asks for identification.

"I am prince Thorein of Alinor seeking commander Catha."

"M... my lord i..."

"No it is alright my friend, it is not punishable for not recognize me." I said as i gave a smile and a slap on his shoulder.

"Commander Catha is available for you sir you can walk right in."

I thank the guard and walk to the commander door and knock three times.

I hear a female voice saying enter.

As i open the door is see Catha with beautiful golden hair which stops at her shoulder.

As i gaze upon her fair face she smiles and says: "my lord it is good to see you again."

"As is seeing you Catha it has been to long that i saw you." I replied with a smile.

"Yes Thorein it indeed is but i have been busy with work for the aldmeri dominion and well..."

"We both where busy for the dominion." I said while approaching her behind the desk. "I have missed you Catha."

"And i have missed you." She said as she hugged me. "But what are you doing here Thorein?"

"I am here because i wanted to see you and well you know." I stepped closer and gave her a hug. "

Catha returned the hug. My lips started to kiss her neck.

"Thorein not now, i am working." She said as she pushed me away.

"Sorry i just wanted to be with you again. And i know you want to be with me to." I said while looking in her deep blue eyes.

"Yes i want to but until you told me-."

"I told you before i cant not now, it is complicated." I said while looking away. "Meet me at the bar in a few hours we can talk there if you want ok?"

"Fine but one day you will tell me promise me that?" she said with a stern look.

"Yes one day but give me time, it is not easy for me to talk about it."I said while walking out of her office. "Besides you broke up over it."

"Thorein wait."She walked towards me. "Look i love you still do but until you can handle what happened that day we can't be intimate together." She gave me a quick kiss on the lips before pushing me out.

Well 'we can't be intimate' then she kissed me, what am i to think about that, well i will go before the chapel before going to the bar.

As i opened the chapel doors i see the images of the divines. I walked towards a priestess.

"Hello my child what can i do for you tonight" she said humbly with a small bow.

"I am in need of guidance priestess; it is of a personal matter and not the gods." I said with a small bow.

"As well although we guide mostly people with faith issues, we can also help with personal but you must understand that we do not have all the answers." The priestess replied warm to me.

"I understand still i appreciate you will try."I said while leading her to a secluded area. "I had a girlfriend we broke up over a mission i went under."

"She wanted to know what happened and you can't tell her correct?" she gave a warm smile. "Many soldiers come here to ask forgiveness for their sins and sometimes advice, about how to tell their wife's of girlfriends what they have done."

"Forgive me priestess but that is the point i can't tell her because i... i did horrible things and i think the gods won't forgive such a sin." I looked towards the altar of Auri-el. "she asked me to talk about what happened on the mission but i can't every time i try i think of the moment and i just want to go away to somewhere no one is."

"Hmm i understand child you must first deal with your demons before you can tell anyone about it. Sometimes the most person sees is his friends die or their enemies before them, but with you it is different i can see it in your eyes.

"i told someone the queen but that is because i had to and wrote it down but with her i just want to forget it ever happened and move on to greener pastures." I looked at the priest and saw her deep in thought.

"If you run from the past you will never have a future my child, think on those words and the answer will reveal itself in time."With that she stood up and started to walk away.

"Priestess thanks you, what is your name if i may ask?" i said while still looking at the shrine.

"My name is kaliah child why do you wish to now?" the priestess said.

"Kaliah thank you, your counsel does better healing then you would believe." I took several coins from my pouch and handed it to her." Consider this a donation to the divines" with that i started to walk towards the bar at the end of the street.
