It was dark and wet. Drip, drip, drip. Was all he heard from a leak somewhere near by. How long had he been there? He had lost count, he had lost feeling in his arms they had been chained up for so long. Many times had they come to torture him for information but than it suddenly stopped. Everything went quiet. Is it over? Who won? He would often ask himself. To escape the dark cell he would drift off into his mind, drift off to the little farm he owned with his family. Oh how he missed them, his little girl. How old is she now? Did his wife wait for him or find another?
He enjoyed the memories he had of his daughter, they would spend hours in the barn shooting arrows at targets. They would spend all day in the woods hunting and just enjoying the beautiful days of Skyrim. He couldn't remember the smell of the fresh air, he didn't even remeber what the sun felt like on his face. His beard had grown and his hair was dirty, he was in nothing but rags. He slowly opened his eyes and watched a small bug crawl over his leg. 'I'm going to die here.' He thought to himself many times.
He had lost hope many years ago and accepted what was to be. 'Soon..I will be in Sovingard..' He slowly closed his eyes and began to drift off again. But the loud clashes of blades knocked him out of it, he jumped and looked up. He heard screams and fighting, he clenched his fists as he kept his eyes peeled to his cell door. The Thalmor that was watching him quickly got up from his seat and hurried out of the room but the moment he stepped out he was shot with an arrow. He tensed up and waited.
He heard footsteps enter the room and soon before him stood three men in strange armor he had not seen before. It was chain mail with blue cloth covering it. They quickly unlocked his cell door and freed him from his chains. Once his hands went free he fell to the ground unable to move them. "What is your name soldier?" One of them asked. They could tell that he had seen war by the look on his face. "Gromar.." He slowly answered. He groaned in pain as they put one his arms around their necks and helped him up from the ground "You have nothing to worry about anymore Gromar, the Stormcloaks are here." The soldier said. 'Stormcloaks? How long have I been here?'

June and Seradia had been traveling together for about a year now, they've been all over and doing things for others. Mainly because Seradia made June help others, June would of just rather of left them but Seradia wouldn't let her. They even joined the Bard's College in Solitude, well Seradia did June just did work for them. Seradia learned how to play a couple instruments and how to sing correctly and June, well that kind of thing just wasn't for June. She only did their bidding to get paid.
They only stayed at the Bard's College for a couple months and than moved on somewhere else. Even though June would never admit it she had grown close to Seradia. They became close friends and June felt like she was a sister. After the Bard's College they went to Solitude and than from Solitude to Windhelm, there June did some things for Ulfric to get a map to an area that they needed to go to.
After all that they were now near the town Falkreath and they were beside a river that was in the woods. June was sitting down on the ground and had her back against a tree with her arms behind her head. Seradia was kneeling down by the river splashing water on her face. The cool water felt good against her hot skin, she dried her face and than sighed in relief. It was a warm day for Skyrim and there was a small breeze. Seradia looked up at the sky admiring the puffy white clouds that floated along.
Seradia noticed something in the corner of her eye, she looked down at the river and saw small flowers floating on top of the water. "Hey look!" She smiled as she admired the different colored flowers floating by. June looked over and raised an eyebrow. "It's not that big of a deal there just flowers." Seradia rolled her eyes and than looked back at her. "You need to learn to enjoy the small things." She furrowed her eyebrows down. June just looked away. "Whatever." Was all she said. Seradia let out a sigh and looked back at the flowers admiring them.
She heard something rustle in the bushes turned towards them. a small white fox came walking out of them, the fox had bright gold eyes. Seradia smiled at it but she found it strange that a fox approached them so casually. The fox sat down and just stared at Seradia, it almost looked like it was admiring her with its little curious eyes. June let out a loud sigh that made her jump and quickly look at her.
"You done yet? Let's get moving already." June was now up from the ground and rubbing her sore behind from sitting down too looked back at the fox but it was gone. 'Weird..' She thought to herself as she got up from the ground. She saw that June was already walking away so she had to quickly run after her to catch up.
They made their way to Falkreath and by the time they got there it was growing dark. When they entered the town they heard whispers all around them about a recent murder, it peaked their interest but it was too late to find anything out about it. They went into the Inn and the Inn Keeper said his cheesy line like they all do, June bought them two rooms and than joined Seradia at one of the tables to eat dinner.
"It's just awful.." They heard a woman near by speak. June slightly turned her head towards the man and woman who was talking to hear better of what they were saying. "I know I can't believe it..Poor little girl she never did anything to deserve that.." The man said shaking his head and looking down at the ground. Seradia took a bite of her bread and June got up from her seat and walked over to them.
"I don't mean to intrude but I over heard you speaking about a little girl?" June asked them. The man and the woman exchanged looks and than looked back at her. "Yes, a little girl got murdered here in Falkreath." The woman answered. "She was torn to pieces by a man named Sinding..Never heard of any man doing that before it was like..Some kind of monster got a hold of her..Oh her poor parents are in such grief.." The man slowly looked down at the ground.
June rubbed her chin as she listened to them speak. "What happened to this Sinding?" She asked. "He's in jail awaiting his death I'm sure. He deserves no less." The woman sneered as she thought about him. June asked them a couple more questions and than walked back over to the table sitting back down by Seradia. "Find anything out?" She asked with her mouth full of food. "Yea, I'm going to check it out in the morning." June took a drink of her mead. The two finsihed their food and drinks than called it a night.
The morning came fast and June woke up to find Seradia was already awake and eating breakfast. She walked over to the mirror that was hung on the wall in her room and examined her appearance. Her hair had grown a lot and it was getting in the way, not to mention it also looked very messy now. June decided that it was time for a hair cut. She got out her dagger and pulled her back quickly cutting most of it off making it short. She started to layer it so that it looked even, she decided to keep some of her bangs.
Once she was finished she ruffled her hair up to get some of the loose pieces out and when she was done she looked back in the mirror. The length of her hair went down to her jaw bone, short hair suited her and now it won't get in the way when she is fighting. She walked out of the room and sat down next to Seradia grabbing herself a plat of food, She felt Seradia's eyes on her so she slightly looked at her.
Seradia's eyes were widened and she had paused while chewing a mouth full of food, she just sat there staring at June as if she had something on her face. June sneered and quickly looked away. "What?" She asked a bit annoyed. Seradia quickly swallowed down her food. "Hair cut?" She asked with a bit of amusement in her voice. "Yea? So what.." June said keeping her eyes away. "It just..Looks different.." Seradia was trying to hold back her laughter. To her June looked funny with short hair but it seemed like June did not care.
June ignored her annoyed snickers and just started to eat her food. "After breakfast I want to go to the Falkreath jail." She said. "I think I'm going to sit this one out." Seradia said with a mouth full of food. "Really?" June looked at her a little surprised. "Yea, I want to catch up on my books." Seradia answered as she gave her her usual sweet smile.
June rolled her eyes and continued to eat. She didn't understand why Seradia liked reading so much. It was just dumb tales written down on paper, she felt like Seradia always had her head in the clouds. Not only that she was always writing something, she always thought it was a journal but she found out that Seradia was writing her own book.
June quickly finished her breakfast and grabbed her bow leaving the Inn. She headed straight for the dungeon, it was a dark and smelly place. She walked down stairs and found out that this Sinding was in the cell far back in the room. She approached the cell and saw it was round and had water in it. She saw a man with blonde hair and wearing nothing but pants sitting down in the water not caring if he was getting wet.
He heard footsteps approach his cell and looked up. He was surprised to see the blonde headed woman standing in front of hid cell door. He furrowed his eyebrows down as he got up from the ground and walked up to his door looking at her. "What are you doing here? Are you here to gonk at the monster? Or are you here to put me down?" He asked with a frown. "Neither." June answered as she examined him. June had a feeling that there was more to this than everybody thought, that is why she took interest in it.
The man looked confused. "Than why are you here?" he asked her. "You're Sinding right?" She asked. He nodded. "I want to know why you did it." She crossed her arms. Sinding quickly looked down and took a few steps away from the cell door. "I..I didn't mean to do it I swear!" He quickly looked back up at her. "Sure that's what all killers say." She mocked him a little making him glare at her. "But I'm telling the truth! I..I lost control.." The look of guilt spilled over his face.
June furrowed her eyebrows down. "What do you mean?" She asked him. "I mean..." He hesitated but than just let out a sigh. "Oh what's the point in lying about it now.." He mumbled to himself. "I have a...Secret.." He slowly walked up the steps. "You see..I'm a werewolf.." He slowly admitted. June's eyes widened disbelieving, this man was mad! June quickly looked away and was about to walk away but he stopped her. "Please wait! You have to believe me!" He pleaded.
She looked back at him. "Just let me explain!" He pleaded some more. June sighed and turned back towards the cell. "You see when the hunt calls me I..I loose control. So I stole this ring from the Daedric Lord Hircine. I've heard stories about it and about how it can help you control the beast so I stole it from Hircine hoping it would help me but he wasn't too happy so he cursed the ring making it impossible for me to control the beast and what's worse is that I have no idea when the transformations will happen now..." He looked down at the ground as he explained. "So that explains what happend to the little girl..I..I lost control and she was there..." Sinding rubbed his forehead as he remembered.
June tilted her head as she listened to him, she still thought he was mad. "So now you know the truth.." He paused and than quickly looked back up at her. "Please I beg you, you must help me!" He pleaded. "I don't want this damn ring anymore so please..Help me return it to Hircine." He took the ring off and held it out to her. June just looked at it for a moment and than slowly took it from him. "I can't bare to face him.." Sinding said with a frown. "Where exactly do I find a Daedric Lord?" June asked him with a snarky voice as she examined the ring.
"I've heard rumors of a great white elk that roams the forests outside of Falkreath. I believe that is the Daedric Lord Hircine." Sinding nodded to her. June examined the ring a bit more and than looked back at him. "Alright.." She agreed to help. A smile of relief formed on his face. "Thank you! I will repay you some day I swear it!" He than backed away from the cell door till he reached the middle of the cell. June watched him carefully.
He held his arms up as he looked up, he than took a deep breath and started to transform. June couldn't believe her eyes, dark black fur was growing from his skin and his bones and muscles began to re shape themselves. One he had completely transformed he let out a loud roar and than climbed the wall and escaped his cell out a window. June quickly left the room and building, she than heard the guards yelling and chase after the beast that escaped.
June looked at the ring and examined it some more. "alright..Time for hunting.." She mumbled as she started to walk. She left town and entered into the woods.
