The two stare down at the dusty red ashes of Harkon, the vampire lord.
"I can't believe it's over," said the Dragonborn.
Serana shakes her head, "I'm upset it came to this, but there was no other way."
Suddenly Isran and several Dawnguard soldiers bolt through the door, "Ha! He is defeated!" Serana and the Dragonborn look at Isran examine the ashes. The Dragonborn's gaze moves back to Serana.
"Hey what are you going to do now that this all over?" He asks.
Serana hesitates, "I think I might just stay with the Dawnguard, well as long as they let me," she pauses, "unless you still need someone to accompany you."
"Of course Serana," the Dragonborn smiles.
Serana smiles,"That's the answer I was hoping for."
"Attention all Dawnguard! Today we are victorious! We will have a grand feast back at the fort to celebrate our victory!" An applause of screams fills the dank room.
Fort Dawnguard is full of cheers and music. All of the soldiers are feasting and drinking mead. The Dragonborn is conversing with the other soldiers about how he slayed the vampire lord. He looks over and sees Serana exit the hall. "You must excuse me," he says and follows Serana. He follows her outside Serana is standing near a rail, overlooking the landscape.
"Serana," says the Dragonborn.
"Hello," she says turning around.
"Were you having fun," the Dragonborn jokes.
"Your people are little too much for me," she says, "but you alright," she jokes. The two look over the landscape for a moment.
"Serana, did you mean everything you said to Harkon before the battle, that you cared about me?" said the Dragonborn.
"Of course, you mean a lot to me," she says. "We've been through a lot together over the past weeks; I've never had anyone believe in me as much as you do. I can't imagine not being with you."
"I feel the same," he says ,"Serana, I've never met anyone like you before, you are probably the best friend I've ever had."
"Yes, you are the most loyal and brave friend to me as well."
The Dragonborn takes her hand, "Serana, what I mean is, I don't ever want to be without you." He leans and kisses her. Serana gasps. He pulls away, "Oh, I'm sorry, I thought…"
"No, no, I feel the same way, but you know we can't be together like that," she frowns.
"Why not?" He asks.
"You know, if you stay mortal you will grow old, while I will remain young, you will have to become a vampire, or I will have to become mortal. These are not easy decisions… but I don't want to live without you either."
"We will figure something out, I will do anything for you, I love you."
Serana smiles, "I love you too."
