Instinctively he caught her as she fell and helped her get back on her feet. "Wh...Where is... Who sent you here?" the women asked. She was about her mid to early twenties, like him, she was a little shorter than him and had pale, but slightly tanned skinned skin, she was absolutely beautiful, breath taking, he noticed her eyes were a glowing orange..a vampire...normally he'd kill one but...something about her...she seemed calm, hadn't attacked him, and was actually speaking to him, not trying to rip his throat out. "Who ere you expecting" he asked? "Someone liked me" she crossed her arms "A vampire?" "Yes" she replied "The dawnguard would want me to kill you." "Ohh, not fond of vampires are they...well look kill me and you've killed one vampire" she paused. "If people are after me then there's something bigger going on" "Ok.. what do you plan to do?" "My family used to live on an island west of Solitude, I guess they still do" She responded. "My name's Serana by the way. Good to meet you." "Mines Rao, nice to meet you too" "This way, I'm pretty sure this is way out" "Right behind you" she said. Two gargoyles came to life in a roar, he pulled out his deadric great-sword and shoved it through its neck, he kicked it off his sword and turned to look at Serana who was actually a pretty good fighter, she wielded ice spikes and one hand, life-drain in another if if they got to close she had an elven dagger. "Your good in a fight Serana, glad your on my side." She grinned "Thanks, not to bad yourself." She sheathed her dagger and looked at Rao's deadric great-sword, "Is that a deadric great-sword?!"she asked seeming curious "Huh, oh yeah, I made it myself" "Must have been expensive to get a deadra heart, unless you went to Oblivion or somewhere like that" she chuckled. "I didn't buy them...lets just say I get around a lot." He gave a smirk as he walked on "You can ask me more when were out of this damned place." She seemed a little surprised, but shook it off an caught up with him. They keep going until they got to an open room. "Stay sharp...something isn't right about this place." As soon as he finished saying that a few arrows whizzed by his head. He pulled out his bow and fired a few shots in the skeletons as they crumbled to dust. He continued down the stairs and saw the unmistakable horned helmet of a draugr deathlord, he took the first swing but the draugr parried his attack and pushed him back. The draugr took a swing and Rao side-stepped the swing, when he turned back to face the draugr, he saw that the draugr was preparing for a shout.."FUS..RO DAH." Rao flew backwards and slammed against a wall...his vision went in and out, he saw the deathlord preparing an attack, he inhaled and let loose a "YOL TOOR SHUL." The draugr stumbled backwards burning, he got back up to his feet and executed the draugr by slicing at its knees then swinging down at skull. He pulled his sword out of his skull to see Serana finishing off the few skeleton that remained. I guess she hadn't noticed his fight against the deathlord because she seemed surprised to see the draugr dead on the floor, burnt to a crisp, a decent sized crack in the wall and Rao on his knees trying to catch his breath. She ran down to see if he was ok. "Rao are you hurt?!" "No, I'm fine, just got the wind knocked out of me," he said gasping for breaths, she still seemed a little nervous, but helped him to his feet. "Took down a Draugr Deathlord...impressive, should I know who you are?" "I'm know by a few different things, but I'm mainly know as Dovahkiin...dragonborn." "I've only heard stories about dragonborns, that explains what all the shouting was." "Yeah" He saw something out of the corner of his eye, a word wall! He walked over to it and saw his vision go blurry, he felt the power of the word inside of him, his vision cleared back. "A word wall, looks like dragon language, you can read that right? Since your dragonborn." "Yeah I can , it says GAAN or stamina, I'd use it to drain someones stamina...come on, lets get outta here, I've had enough caves and crypts for day" "Same, lets go."
