I don't own Skyrim

Hey everyone as I said this will be a four part series, introducing three characters, one chapter for each character.

Part 3: Lucy the Mage

Lucy was lying in her bed at the moment, next to her husband who was still asleep. They were both bare and Lucy enjoyed every bit of the night before. She didn't get to spend as much time as she would desire with her position as the Archmage of the College at Winterhold and him being a Companion Circle member. To make matters even harder, they were both immortals of separate areas so they would be called off a lot to deal with Daedric Princes or their guilds' problems.

"At least I can stay for another few days…" Lucy thought as she looked at her sleeping husband's form. She reached out and stroked his face a bit before she turned to her right to look at the nightstand next to the bed. She got up from her bed, slowly and she pulled on a simple robe, not bothering with anything else since no one else was in the manor.

The large house was supposed was Talon's since he was the one who bought the land but he never really stayed there. Or rather he didn't stay there when Arthur or Lucy were staying there. She wondered why but then she realized why and she blushed at the thought. The reason why was probably because her brother had a lover and she most likely stayed with him at the house though she hasn't really had the pleasure of speaking to her yet, he knew she existed when she had the pleasure of coming into the house while they were having a coupling.

"Hm…" Lucy stepped into the hall and she started a fire with her fire magic and then she picked up some ingredients for a soup. She poured some water into the pot over the fire and then she poured the ingredients and spices into the pot and started stirring it. She thought about Arthur as she stirred the liquid. She sighed when she thought about him though.

The mage thought about how Arthur still managed to be an irresponsible jerk despite all the years that have passed since they were young kids. She thought that he would mature after a few years but her brother had proven her wrong. She felt anger at the thought of how little he apparently cared for her and Talon, who... Her breath hitched when she thought about Talon.

"Oh Arthur…why can't you finally grow up?" she thought as she sat down at the table. She sighed as she thought about her family and when her gaze landed on something on the table she frowned.

"Oh Talon…" she whispered as she picked up a small necklace. It was a simple necklace but there was a little blue crystal on it. It was a gift from Talon when they were still little kids.

"Why did you do it Talon?" she asked. She was worried about Talon. She wanted him to come back into the house from the cold outside, she wanted to talk to him like how they used to when they were younger not shut her out. He was her twin and her best friend, he always looked after her, something she always felt so guilty for.

When they were younger, Talon and Lucy were very happy. This was before their parents disappeared of course. Talon was Lucy's best friend, they were twins so they could understand each other well and Talon was always nice despite the fact that he was a little boy. He always smiled and he always knew how to make her laugh, which he still retained. She was a very ill girl when she was younger so she couldn't go out too much but Talon still stuck around her.

Then after their parents disappeared, things quickly went wrong. Despite their parents being gone, Talon still smiled a lot and he still managed to keep her happy. After their parents disappeared, a couple of the Immortals in Skyrim, looked after them but it just wasn't the same. It hurt them both how Arthur didn't seem to want anything to do with them besides finance them.

Her illness didn't get any better either. If anything, it only got worse over time. Lucy shuddered at what Talon did to make sure she survived. She hated how weak she was back then, she hated how Talon put himself through so much just for her. She didn't deserve that kind of kindness…not after how it changed Talon…

"Why couldn't you just let me go Talon?" Lucy asked sadly. She sighed as she placed the necklace around her neck and tied it. She leaned back in her chair and sighed softly as she smoothed out her hair a bit.

"Headache again?" Lucy opened her eyes and smiled at her husband as he came over and sat next to her. He was dressed in plain clothes, something that was rather rare since he was a warrior to the heart, similar to her twin.

"You don't know that half of it…ever since the incident with the Eye of Magnus, and my little promotion because of it, I've just been sacked and sacked with issues. They say being on top is the best but they never say anything about the things that come with it…" Lucy groaned as she rubbed her head.

"Surely it isn't that bad?" Vilkas asked. Lucy sighed but then she smiled at him.

"Yeah, it isn't all bad. My predecessor built up quite the library in his quarters, along with a large garden of materials for alchemy and my experiments," Lucy said happily. She always enjoyed learning more about magic and the wonders she could perform with it. Due to her unnatural pool of magicka that might as well have been limitless as well as her ability to tame and summon atronachs at will with the use of little to no magicka made many of these goals child's play to her. Though alchemy wasn't included in her skills as an Immortal, she still learned it fast and it was one of the few things that she and Arthur could actually do together and enjoy.

"I'll bet, I'm sure people are just lining up to be taught by the Archmage Lucy?" Vilkas asked with a chuckle. Lucy blushed from slight embarrassment.

It was true that her talents as a mage were very well known throughout Skyrim, especially since she was an Immortal. She was the most well known out of her siblings, mainly because Arthur was a thief and Talon was a bit of a loner. Even the Dominion didn't take her lightly, something she felt a swell of pride in. She wiped their influence away from the college after she became the Archmage and while the Dominion still persisted, she held a tight grip on the power there.

Many young mages came to join in order to learn from Lucy. She accepted most who came as long as they actually had some kind of magic potential. Though she left a lot of the teaching to the masters already there. If the students wanted her to teach them, then they would have to become advanced. She only had three students; all were proud mages, who worked hard to get where they were. She brought glory back to the College.

"Do you think Talon is ok? He was really angry…he could have easily taken Arthur's head off if he didn't hold back when he hit him…" Lucy said, worriedly. Her twin wasn't known for having a good temper, at least when it came to Arthur. Vilkas let out a sigh before he wrapped his arm around her.

"To be honest, I don't know. Aela, Farkas, and I fight alongside him and we've witnessed the ferocity of his abilities first hand, more than most. Even we do not know what goes through his head though. I believe only you, that dremora he travels with, and even your brother can really understand what's going through his head," Vilkas said. Lucy sighed again since she knew that her husband was right.

"Even so, he never talks to me about his problems anymore, he just closes us all out and Arthur isn't any help," Lucy sighed. Then another thought occurred to her, something that made her chuckle.

"Great…outweighed by a demon…"
