A/N : Hi ! Here's my first try of a fanfic. To begin, I choose to do a small One Shot with my Dunmer (and her little family), to see what I was able to do and what I had to improve. Please leave a review :)
Skyrim belongs to Bethesda :)
Perfect Hiding Spot :
The night was coming. The sun was slowly coming down and hiding behind a mountain. A white haired female Dunmer was watching the sky growing dark. All she could hear now was the birds' chipping, the cicadas, her horses grazing, the wind playing with the leaves... In a word : nature. No dragons, no wolves, no vampires, nothing dangeours. Just nature and her family.
She had been playing hide-and-seek with her two adopted daughters during the afternoon and she was now enjoying the calmness of the nature. During the game she had found the perferct hiding spot, and the proof is that, hours later she still hadn't been found by her daughters. In fact she had fallen asleep during the game, but since no prank hab been played on her, she guessed she had won the game and her daughters had given up. So there she was, lying on the roof of her manor admiring the sky after waking up.
A sound finally put an end to her daydream.
« Anora », she sat up and turned around at the sound of her husband voice. Next to the main building of the manor was a tower with a belvedere on the top. A dark haired Dunmer wearing miner's clothing was standing there leaning on the railing.
« Sondas, funny to see you up there » Anora answered with a smile.
« I could say the same for you, love, I didn't know you liked to be on the roof » Sondas teased her,
« by the way, are you aware that Runa and Sofie have been looking for you the whole afternoon ? They even asked Lydia to help them »
Anora shot a surprised look at her husband.
« Did they ? And I thought Lydia scared them with her armor and serious look »
« You're the one to talk » remarqued her husband raising a brow « look at you, you are wearing some cultist robe with dragon's carving, a hood and war paint. And I'm sure the stains are not jam »
He took a pause, before finishing his red eyes sparkling with mischief « If I had to compare you and Lydia, I would say that you are the most scary of the two »
That left Anora staring at him speechless. After a few second she finally found her voice again and managed to ask : « Do you really think I'm scary ? »
Sondas looked at his wife face and saw that she had taken his little joke a bit too seriously. He then tried to reassure her.
« It's just your look with your armor, sweety, and the blood staining it. I know you are not scary elf… well as long as we don't piss you off »
Anora seemed to think about it and finally said while laughing, « Usually those who piss me off don't live very long »
Sondas felt a smile come to his lips at the view of his wife laughing. He then remembered why he came up to the roof.
« Do you want to come down with us ? Or do you want to share the roof with the hawk who made its nest up there ? »
« I'm coming down ! It's already cold out there during the day, it's way worse at night ! » She exclaimed while getting up. She then tried to proceed safely to the belvedere where her husband was waiting for her.
Once she was safe, they opened the trapdoor leading inside the building. They arrived in a library. The tower was composed of two floor that served as a library and the belvedere.
« Oh, now that I think about it, why didn't the girls find me ? It was not that hard »
Sondas thought a bit before answering « Are you sure they know there is a ladder in the library ? »
Anora stared at her husband blinking and then said « I've never seen them in the upper floor of the library … so they might not know that we can access the roof »
« Then you have your answer sweety » he said planting a kiss on his wife's cheek.
« Where are the girls ? » suddendly asked Anora.
« I asked Lydia to show them some tricks while I was searching for you so they might be in the cave » her husband replied.
She then looked at him with a mischevious grin « Good ! They won't know my perfect hiding place ! » and then she walked out of the library hand in hand with her husband.
