2. Which Beast Beats?
They're both such a wonder to me. The two twins, members of the Circle, seem very mysterious, both with stories to share. I'm talking about Farkas and Vilkas, of course. Their deep eyes are cryptic, and their voices are even more mystifying. At first I fell for Farkas, who has soft spots no one can ignore. But Vilkas's intelligence and defensive nature won me over. I know my family wouldn't have supported the marriage of an Orsimer and a Nord, but love is love, isn't it? Vilkas looked so brooding in that wolf armor, too. I still haven't seen him transform, though I did see Farkas, and he was so heroic when taking out, what, eight members of the Silver Hand at once? My point is, the brothers, though they don't always try to show it, are very caring, especially for Nords, which seem to be very.. frosty people.
So, when it came to be my wedding day, I was glad I could find a strong, brute man like Vilkas since there aren't many Orcs in Skyrim that share that same, honorable notion. And I don't want to be the wife of a dishonorable chief from a failing Orcish stronghold.
I walked down the aisle, and, as I did, I saw Farkas glaring right at me, half-smiling. I felt so sorry for him, as my mind recalled all the times he'd said "but you, I like" with a wide grin. I proceeded quickly to the altar dedicated to Mara. Typically Orcs would marry under the blessings of honor from the Daedric lord Malacath, but I don't mind the marriage ritual that Skyrim natives use. So, as Vilkas and I exchange looks, the priest Maramal begins the ceremony.
He then asks Vilkas, "Do you agree to be bound together in love, now and forever?" to which Vilkas replies, "I do. Now and forever." It's clear he wants to be with me, but as Maramal asks me the same question, I pause, glaring back at Farkas. He knows my pain in this decision, because of the love I have for them both. He gives an encouraging smile. I grin because of it, and turn my head back towards the gaze of both Vilkas and Maramal. I vow, just like my fiancé did. Maramal is happy to see such love blossom before him. Especially in such desperate times, where northern Tamriel is troubled. But we're all united, one couple at a time, aren't we?
Maramal then gave us the rings, blessed by Mara herself, and everyone is joyful. Vilkas has a dreamy gaze towards me, and asks where we should live. We move into my home in Riften, which I also love dearly. I knew this would be the start of a deep, everlasting and loving relationship. Farkas and I will always still have a loving friendship, but Vilkas will always, always be my beast.
