It was early in the morning the sun barely peaked over the mountains, Krissy stopped walking for a moment and took in a breath of air. It was cold but nice, she smiled looking up at the sky her green eyes sparkling from the reflection of it. 'A normal chilly day in Skyrim.' She thought to her self, as she continued to walk she began to see Whiteruns Dragonreach tower show in the distance, she smiled at the familiar sight.
It had been a few months since she was last there, after killing the dragon at the watch tower she made her way to the grey beards who taught her what she was and what it meant, then they sent her on a quest to retrieve a horn but when she go there it was gone and turned out a nordic woman named Delphine took it, she belonged to an organization that was called the blades who were dragon hunters. Krissy agreed to help her to find out more about the dragons coming back, Delphine left for Riverwood the last they spoke she told Krissy that she would send word once she had a plan so in the mean time Krissy decided to return to Whiterun it was the closest thing she had to a home. Since Krissy found out she was Dragonborn she has kept it to herself, the only people who knew what she was were the ones who were around her when she killed dragons which wasn't very many. She felt like she didn't really want anyone to know unless it was necessary who would believe her anyways? A small built Nord girl who could barely swing a sword? She didn't think so, which was the main reason she was returning to Whiterun was to learn, if she was to live up to her destiny and be the Dragonborn of legend she had to prove it and be strong like everybody expected her to be.
She approached Whiterun passing the stables giving the horses and the horse master a smile, he waved at her smiling a little admiring her figure as she walked by. She pushed open the gates and smiled seeing how everything was exactly the same, the blacksmith Adrianne working hard like she always did, the guards walking about and gossiping to each other like always, and then the mean little girl talking back to everybody. "Yep no place like home." She smiled walking past Adrianne waving at her. "Hello" Adrianne waved back giving her usual kind smile. She walked threw town looking around at all the buildings and the familiar faces, she looked at Breezehome admiring it imaging her self owning it someday. She walked to the market district looking around hearing the usual chatter from everyone there. 'Maybe I can head up to the Bannered Mare and see if anyone knows anything there.' She walked up the steps slowly opening the door and peeking in a bit. "Hello and welcome!" Hulda greeted her and taking a closer look at her recognizing who it was now and smiled even more. "Oh it's nice to see you again it has been a while hasn't it?" Hulda waved to Krissy keeping her smile up. "Yes it's been a few months." She smiled back at her taking a seat at the bar. "Can I get you anything?" She asked cleaning out the inside of a mug. "Well I actually would like some information I know word usually passes threw here a lot." She tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear looking down at the wood surface of the bar. "We usually get the latest gossip in here yes, what can I help you with." Hulda put down the mug and leaned forward on the bar looking at Krissy. "Well I was wondering if you know anything about training people to become fighters you know show them the basics, anywhere but the guards." Like they would even help anyone but them selves, she sneered at the thought of going to the guards for help. "Well there's the companions, I hear they're always looking for new recruits why not go talk to them?" She sat up grabbing her rag again and began to wipe the top of the bar off. "Hmmm, the companions?" She's heard of them but never really gave them much thought. "You know I think I might actually do that, thanks for the help Hulda." She quickly got up and began to walk out of the door. "Anytime!" Hulda called out to her waving her goodbye with a cheerful smile.
Krissy approached Jorrvaskr looking up at the tall building, she sighed feeling butterflies lift up in her stomach. She did feel nervous not knowing what was inside or if they would even accept her, she shook her thoughts away and proceeded up the stairs. She opened the door slowly taking a step inside. "He-" She was interrupted with a blonde haired man pushing past her causing her to stumble back words. "Hey another fight!" He yelled running towards a woman and a dark elf throwing punches at each other. "Are those two at it again?" An older man said sitting down at the table drinking out of his mug, he had grey hair pulled back into a pony tail but was balding at the top and what seemed to be heavy armor on. "This'll teach you!" The woman yelled pushing the elf down onto the table punching him in the face. Krissy blinked seeing everybody gather around the fight laughing and cheering. 'This is the companions?' She thought tilting her head a bit. "Can I help you dear?" An older woman walked up to Krissy with a warming welcoming smile. "Uh, y-yea I was wondering about joining the companions?" Krissy looked at her examining her stained dress. "Then you will want to see Kodlak, head down the stairs over there and his room is the very last at the end of the hall." She pointed to the stairs smiling. "Thanks." Krissy said as she walked over to the stairs, she walked down them opening the door looking around. There were more tables and some rooms, she followed the womans directions walking down the hall the closer she got to the room she began to hear talking it seemed to be between two men. The door was shut slightly she approached it peeking threw it a little, she saw an older man with long grey hair and a younger looking man he had medium sized brown hair and dark tattoos over his eyes. "I still hear the calling of the hunt especially when I sleep." The younger one spoke with a shaky voice. "Yes as we all do Vilkas, I know it's hard but we can get threw this." The older one spoke she assumed who was Kodlak, and now she knows that the younger ones name is Vilkas. "I know it's just-" Vilkas stopped smelling a different scent in the air he quickly looked to the door. "We have company." He spoke out loud so that who ever was on the other side of the door would show them selves. She froze for a moment feeling a bit embarrassed being caught ease dropping. She slowly opened the door stepping in grabbing her arm. "Who's this then? A stranger comes to us." Kodlak spoke smiling at the familiar face, Vilkas looked her up and down examining her closely. By her face structure he could tell she was a nord even though she was built small, she had long brown hair that layed about her shoulders and green eyes, he sneered at her not liking strangers especially ones who ease drop. "My name is Krissy and I would like to join the companions." She spoke her cheeks turning a pale pink from embarrassment. "Hmm We'll see." Kodlak rubbed his beard. "Master you can't be possibly considering her! I've never even heard of this stranger." Vilkas crossed his arms looking at her some more. "I am no ones master Vilkas and the last I checked we had some beds available here, tell me girl how well do you think you can handle yourself in a battle." He leaned forward in his chair. "I have much to learn thats for sure." She mumbled crossing her arms looking away a bit offended at what Vilkas said as if she wasn't even there. "That's the spirit!" Kodlak yelled joyfully smiling at her. "I think you will do well here girl." He turned to Vilkas. "Go and take her out Vilkas test her mettle." Vilkas sneered and looked annoyed but he got up and obeyed. "Aye.." He walked past her quickly. "Well come on then." He yelled back at her, Krissy quickly turned and walked quickly catching up to him and accidentally bumping into him. He looked back at her even more annoyed. "Sorry." She said with a bit of an attitude to her voice, she crossed her arms looking away. 'Man this guy is a big load of joy.' She thought rolling her eyes. "Well this should be fun.." She mumbled to her self keeping her eyes away. "What?" Vilkas spoke looking back at her, she put her hands up smiling awkwardly. "Oh nothing.." She put them back down as Vilkas looked away rolling his eyes. 'Charmer this one.'
