The Dark Alley ways of Markarth

Date: Sundas, Seventh Day of Rain's Hand, E 21

"Shush, hush Zacharias," Leafeliä said as she punched him in the gut. The prisoners rounded the corner and waited for a few street guards to pass.

As they left, all of them took a mad dash down the road quietly. Almost too excited they almost ran into the city gates.

Leafeliä's horse was still in the stables where she left it. It whinnied as she came closer.

"Shhh…. It's okay Zereth, we are going to get out of here and back to the college," she calmed it. The other prisoners all ran for their lives, except one.

Colden stood in the moonlight in his tattered clothing. His hair had grown long after the last few years. It's blond color reflected off and shone bright in the moonlight. Leafeliä's hair as well.

Two lone elves waiting to leave death.

"I'm ready to leave, to get new clothes, and a job. Hopefully this will get us where we need to be," he said as he pointed to a satchel on his hip. It was full of silver ores and quite a few pieces of gold.

"Where did you get that," she asked him.

"I found it just laying around," he said with a smirk.

Leafeliä mounted on her horse Zereth, while Colden jumped up behind her on the saddle.

Colden tucked his hand up against Leafeliä's stomach to hold on.

"Bo Zereth, ru kotin faal stin*,"she shouted as she hit her bare heels against Zereth's side and he galloped away from the city of doom. *Go Zereth,run into freedom.

Leafeliä and Colden camped on the outskirts of Markarth, where the guards could not claim territory of them ever again.

Colden laid down in a gather of tree roots with moss on top of it. Leafeliä sat at the small fire she started to keep warm.

"Nil los ful krah**," she said shivering and then tucking her arms underneath her armpits to keep warm. **It is so cold.

"Hind wah aav dovahn***," Colden asked, motioning his hands towards her to join him.***Wish to join me?

She scuttled over to his side and crouched down beside him.

"Kolos****," she asked because there was no room in the roots.****Where?

"Nok tum, aav dovahn*****," he said patting his lap. *****Lay down, join me.

She curled up and leaned into his chest.

"Hahnu pruzah zeymahzin, all faal rah koraar naal hi ol hi huhnu******,"he whispered into Leafeliä's ear and combed the hair back over her sleeping wrapped his arms tighter around her as he held her close, ******Dream well companion, may the gods watch over you as you sleep.


Sorry for such a long wait, I haven't had much time to type up this fanfic because I've been recently working on a Sherlock one. Hope you enjoy! ~PiinkSkyy
