Chapter Two
Avyanna's eyes flew open as she gasped, sitting up and coughing as Einarr rubbed her back. "Oh gods, I feel like I was ran over by a mammoth." She complained, her head pounding and her whole pained was in pain.
"My Star has been restored and Malyn's soul has been consigned to Oblivion. You have done well, Avyanna," Azura's voice filled her mind, something glowing along Avyanna's neck, making the pain go away. "As it was destined, you a free to use my Star as you see fit, and carry my powers in your veins. Farewell, Avyanna. Know that Azura and Meridia will be watching over the threads of your fate."
Both she and Einarr gasped as Azura's Star appeared on her neck, but smaller with an extravagant silver chain wrapped around it. Touching it lightly, Avyanna could feel the power within it and looked at Einarr.
"I guess we can go home now." She said, standing up and turning to Aranea who bowed in respect to her. "What will you do now?"
"I will continue to watch over the shrine, but know this, Champion of Meridia and Seeker of Azura, just as you were fated to rescue the Star, you were fated to use it for Skyrim's future." Aranea informed her cryptically and Avyanna frowned, opening her mouth to speak when the dark elf turned away, obviously dismissing the two of them.
"Come on, we need to get back to Whiterun," Einarr reminded her as they walked away, heading down the stairs. "You scared the life out of me! Never do something so reckless again."
Avyanna shot him a puzzled look. "What are you talking about?"
"You were dead, Avyanna."
Her eyes widened in shock as they landed on the ground, Rosso and Einarr's horse tied to trees. Einarr gave her a serious look, showing he wasn't joking about it either.
"Wow," she blinked, fiddling with the Star which turned out to be a bad idea as her vision blurred, Einarr's body blurry out a bit as a blue figure stood next to him. Her eyes widened in surprise, the woman looking directly at her with a serious look on her face. "Einarr, there's a woman behind you."
Einarr turned around, finding no one there and looking back at Avyanna, noticing the pale purple in her eyes. "Avyanna, there's no one there."
Her fingers left the Star and the woman disappeared. Blinking, she touched it and once again saw her. "I'm not going mad, I'm looking right at her!"
Einarr frowned in concern, worried for the scarlet haired Nord. "You only see her when you touch the Star, right?" Avyanna nodded and she released it and it hung to her neck. "Don't touch it then."
She nodded, still not shaking the feeling of the woman's presence as they mounted their horses. Rosso kicked up a stir before calming down as they headed to Winterhold. It was late afternoon and instead of riding out and camping the night, the two of them agreed that staying in the inn was better.
As Einarr went inside to purchase the rooms while Avyanna dropped the horses down at the stables, a Breton in pale Novice robes carrying a box with chirping sounds coming from it.
"What's in the box?" Avyanna called as he past her. The Breton mage stopped and looked at her.
"Hawk chicks, hatched a week ago," he answered as she walked over, peering into the box. Small, fluffy grey chicks chirped from inside, looking around and some peering at Avyanna in interest.
"They're so cute," she cooed as an idea came to mind. She looked up at him with a bright smile. "How much for one?"
He frowned and thought about it. "Thirty septims for the runt, I highly doubt he'll make it." He pointed to the very tiny one in the corner, shivering slightly at the cold.
"Deal," Avyanna agreed, grabbing the gold coins and handing it to him, lightly and gently grabbing the baby hawk into her hands. Immediately, it stopped shivering and peeked up at her. "Thank you."
"No problem." He nodded before continuing onwards towards the College as Avyanna hurried back, heading straight into the inn. Einarr was sitting at a wooden table, two plates of bread, cheese and apple slices with warm mead in two tankards.
Einarr noticed Avyanna cradle something in her hands and looked at her curiously as she sat down. "What's in your hand?"
"Rohan's present," Avyanna beamed, showing him the baby chick that had now fallen asleep in her hands. "I just bought it from a mage from the College. Thirty septims for the little one since they didn't think he'll make it."
"You don't agree with them?"
"Never give up on a life that's barely lived."
On the way back, Avyanna fashioned a small pouch to place the baby chick as they rode towards Whiterun, the gates in sight. She was grinning with excitement; Rohan was going to love his birthday present!
The baby had filled out a bit, looking better and not close to death anymore. Avyanna saw this as a good sign as they dismounted their horses and handed them to the stable boy.
Rosso sniffed once again at the baby chick in the pouch in front of Avyanna before nudging his rider's shoulder. Avyanna smiled, rubbing his nose before following Einarr through the gates.
"We're just in time," Einarr grinned and Avyanna nodded in relief. They had arrived back on her brother's birthday with the day still young. She had worried immensely on the way back that they wouldn't make it, thank the Divine that was no longer the case.
As they walked up the steps to Jorrvaskr, the sounds of singing and cheering could be heard from outside as the two Nords grinned at each other. Avyanna opened the door and walked in, finding the mead hall filled with celebration of her brother's twelfth birthday.
"Anna!" Rohan exclaimed, running over to his sister as she covered the pouch. Immediately, he became curious and tried to see over her hand but she smirked at him.
"Happy birthday, Han," she smiled, kneeling down and presenting him the baby hawk. Rohan's eyes widened, Kiraya's as well as she joined him and the mead hall became silent. "Be careful with him, he's only two weeks old."
Rohan nodded, grabbing the baby chick carefully as it snuggled within his warm hands. He looked at his sister in wonder, confused as well. "I thought you said I couldn't have a pet."
"No, I said you couldn't have a wolf," she corrected him, ruffling his hair. "Our family flies with hawks, we don't run with wolves."
Rohan beamed, hugging his sister as he carefully made sure not to harm the baby chick. "You're the best sister ever, I love you Anna."
"I love you too, Han."
"What are you going to name the thing?" Ria asked excitedly, looking at the tiny, fluffy bird from a table.
Rohan pursed his lips in thoughts, looking at it as the chick look back at him. "Caleo, it means 'fire', right?" Rohan looked to his sister for confirmation and she nodded.
"Ah, a fine name for a fiery lad." Vilkas agreed and Lassarina smiled. Avyanna removed the pouch and placed it on Rohan, allowing him to put the baby chick inside before running off with Kiraya and Fang.
As she stood up straight, she felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her waist, spinning her around. "Put me down, cabbage head!"
Farkas laughed, along with the rest of the Companions at the scene as Avyanna turned towards him, receiving a warm kiss on the lips. "I'm glad you're back home in one piece."
"Still going to tie me to a pole?" she teased and he smirked, wagging his eyebrows at the suggestion. "How was he?"
"Fine, missed his sister though."
Avyanna smiled to herself, reaching out to fiddle with the Star but remembered what happened the last time she touched it. Farkas noticed and saw Azura's Star hanging around her neck.
"Is…is that her star?" he asked quietly and Avyanna took a deep breath before nodding in confirmation. His eyes turned serious, looking at her with a hard face. "Are you in any danger?"
Avyanna shook her head. "I'm fine, Farkas," she murmured, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Now that it's dealt with, you have me back home."
A growl escaped his chest as he pushed his lips against hers, capturing the spicy flavour that was often held within them. With a surprise, Farkas could taste a sweet mix of snowberries as well as the spice.
"Get a room!" Vilkas called as they pulled apart and Farkas grinned at his twin.
"Like you two can talk! It's a surprise you two aren't romping in the Underforge!" Farkas retorted and Lassarina blushed in embarrassment, hiding her face against Vilkas's arm, as the rest of the hall roared with laughter.
"Anna!" Rohan called, running back over with Miranna's song book in his hands. "It's my birthday right?" she nodded and saw the sparkle in his eyes as he opened the book to a specific page. "I read on the page that it's tradition to sing this for our twelfth birthday."
Avyanna took the book from him, reading and a smile pulled onto her face, along with a few sad tears. "Aye, you're right." She agreed, looking at him as he and Kiraya stood together, looking up at her with excitement.
She looked around the room, finding everyone's eyes on her as Farkas kissed the back of her head in encouragement. "When the cold wind is calling and the sky is clear and bright. Misty mountains sing and beckon me out into the night,"
"I will ride…I will fly! Chase the wind and touch the sky. I will fly! Chase the wind and touch the sky!"
Avyanna closed the book, handing it to Farkas as she sat down on her knees and pulled Rohan close to her, his back against her chest. "Where dark roots hide secrets and mountains are fierce and bold. Deep waters hold reflections, of times lost long ago. I will hear every story," Avyanna cupped her hands with Rohan's holding them up into the air. "Take hold of my own dreams. Be as strong as the seas are stormy and proud as an eagle's scream."
"I will ride…I will fly! Chase the wind and touch the sky. I will fly! Chase the wind and touch the sky! And touch the sky!"
"Chase the wind, chase the wind, chase the wind….touch the sky…."
Avyanna kissed Rohan's cheek and released him as the hall erupted into cheers and applause. Rohan turned around and wrapped his arms around his sister's neck, pulling her close and hugging her tightly.
"I'm sorry mother couldn't be here to sing it for herself," Avyanna whispered, holding back the tears. "She sang it better than me."
Rohan shook his head, pulling back and smiling brightly at her. "I never knew her and I'm not sad about it. I rather have you here than anyone in the world."
Avyanna smiled, kissing his forehead and standing up, watching the party continue in full stream. She had a funny feeling that a few hang over tonics would be in order…
Rohan was staying at Jorrvaskr for the night, allowing Farkas and Avyanna some much needed alone time. In the form of their lips desperately making up for lost time apart.
Farkas nipped her shoulder and she gasped at the sudden act, her eyes glowing a soft orange as she stared at him. "I can't wait any longer."
"Are you sure?" Farkas asked, desire thick in his voice, but his mind was overpowering the growing bulge in his armour. "I don't want to pressure you into anything."
Avyanna chuckled, kissing his nose lightly. "How many girls have you said that to?"
"Only you."
Pressing her lips to his ear as his hands clenched her butt. "Take me." she whispered in a lustful tone that pulled a growl out of the Companion. Farkas lifted her up, carrying her bridal style upstairs and entering her room, lips on hers during the entire time.
When he broke away, Farkas placed Avyanna on the bed and began to pull off his armour. Avyanna, wanting to do the same, began as well but Farkas stopped her.
"I want you unwrap you," he whispered, flashing a devious grin and she blushed, allowing him to take off her hunting gear so slowly that it became painful. As he lightly touched the white cloth wrapped around her chest, Avyanna's mark lit up, but didn't cause her pain. "Impatient?"
Avyanna glared at him. "I swear to Mara if you don't hurry the fu—oh!" she gasped in surprise, feeling Farkas suck at her nipples through the cloth. The action caused a tingling sensation and she moaned, arching her back to give him better access.
Farkas looked up, grinning at the reactions Avyanna gave him as he moved his hands down, and pulling off her leather tights and her skin greeted his eyes. Moving his hands up and down her inner thighs, Farkas did exactly what she had always dreamt about.
Going down on her.
Avyanna gasped, gripping the fur underneath her as Farkas continued to lick around, pinching her clit every now and then. Her face flushed at the action, arching her back and her hips wiggled, trying to get his tongue further in.
"Farkas…" she breathed, letting out a voiceless moan as the knots in her stomach released themselves and Farkas looked up, licking his lips from her juices.
"I think you're ready now." He murmured, standing up and removing his trousers, exposing his harden length for her to see. Her eyes widened in surprise; it was as big as she dreamt about!
Swallowing, Avyanna suddenly felt nervous and Farkas could see it, leaning over and placing a kiss to her forehead. "Be…be gentle." She whispered, suddenly frighten of the unknown.
Farkas couldn't lie, he found her utterly adorable like this, no longer the proud and fierce Nord he usually saw. Now she was a woman, his woman. "Always," he said against her forehead, leaning down and capturing her lips as he thrusted in.
Immediately, Avyanna tensed up at the pain, clawing at his back as she whimpered against his lips. Farkas stayed still, allowing for her to adjust to the sudden feeling before taking it slow.
Avyanna's whimpers soon turned into moans, the pain subsiding and pleasure taking over in a full course. Taking this as a good sign, Farkas sped up, pushing her legs further up to drill away into her. Avyanna was moaning louder and louder, his name passing her lips every five seconds.
"Farkas!" she gasped, the familiar yet alien sensation happening once again as she clenched down on him and he grunted, following her soon afterwards with his seed spilling into her. Both waited a few moments, the rides of pleasure coming to a stop as he collapsed on top of her, both breathless.
"How…was that?" Farkas said in between breaths, looking at her with a worried look on his face. "I didn't hurt you…did I?"
Avyanna shook her head, laying a small kiss to his lips and ignoring the fire burning at her lower body. "No, you've just tired me out." she smiled as he chuckled in relief, settling onto the bed properly and bringing Avyanna with him, snuggling her into his chest.
I'll be MIA from today until the 6th August as I have Yearly Exams and I need to study and pass this shit :)
