You know, with no assignments to do, I may as well update as much as I can. I mean, I have around 2 weeks to write as much as I want, then I'll be swamped by the last of my assignments. So, may as well take advantage of the time.
Enjoy!
As I walked into town, I was greeted by a familiar face.
'You're alive? Thank the gods!' I was hugged by my cousin, Doria. She was short, & had blonde hair. However, despite only just making it past my shoulders (I'm pretty tall, taller than the average Nord woman. I'm about as tall as Ronan) she was still as strong as I was.
'We saw a dragon flying in this direction,' She said, looking up at me. 'It came from the direction of Helgen,'
'Well, I'm fine,' I said. 'But I am tired. I need to rest,'
We both headed back to Uncle Jorgal's house. When I entered, I was greeted by more familiar faces.
'Well, look what the horker dragged in,' Ronan said in his thick accent, smirking.
'Ronan,' Jorgal said. 'She was just captured by Imperials, survived a dragon attack & escaped Helgen. Give her a break,'
'Hang on,' I said. 'How do you know about Helgen?'
'Word travels fast,' Jorgal said. 'When we got word that Ulfric had been captured along with a soldier, a horse-thief & a civilian, we grew worried because you hadn't come home yet,' Jorgal stood up. 'And when we heard that that civilian was you, well, you can imagine what went through our minds,'
'Yeah, what were you doing wondering into an Imperial trap?' Ronan said.
'You want a piece of me?' I threatened.
'Bring it on!' Ronan shouted.
'Okay, if you two are going to fight, take it outside!' Jorgal shouted over the top of us.
'Don't worry about it Uncle,' Ronan said calmly. 'I was just messing with her,'
'Sure you were,' I said, taking a seat next to him. 'Next you'll be telling me you want to start up a shop,'
'Alright, that's enough you two,' Doria said. 'Sonia, you should rest. You can tell us about what happened later,'
'Sounds good to me,' I said, heading over to my bed.
After a few hours rest, most of the town knew that I had returned home safe from Helgen, & spent a good half hour telling everyone how I was involved with the dragon attack. While a few of them were happy that Ulfric was still alive, some of them were annoyed that he didn't die. Didn't matter to me.
Like he promised, Ralof showed up an hour or two after the story was finished. Ronan had spent the afternoon talking to him, while I was being tended to.
Finally, after a long day, Ralof went back to his sister Gerdur's house, while I stayed back at Jorgal's.
'With the Dragon's returning, someone needs to go to Jarl Balgruuf in Whiterun, & tell him to send some soldiers here in order to protect the town,' Jorgal said.
'And by someone you mean us,' I said.
'Yes,' He replied.
'Fine, but I'm not going alone. Ronan, do you wanna come along?'
'You know it!' Ronan said. 'I'll do anything to go somewhere else once in a while,'
'Alright then, what about you Doria?'
'I suppose I could go,' Doria said. 'But father, would you be okay without me?'
Jorgal sighed. 'I have to let you go sometime don't I?'
'Then I will join the two of you,' Doria said, turning to us.
'Before you three leave, I have something to give the three of you,' Jorgal said. He got up, & went into the basement. He came out with a large bundle with a cloth folded around it.
'Ronan, Sonia, before Dane died, he wanted the two of you to have these,' He placed the bundle on the table, & removed the cloth. There were two Daedric swords & bows, two Ebony shields, some sort of mask & a peculiar looking blade.
'These swords, bows & shields belonged to your father,' Jorgal said, giving Ronan & I a sword, bow & shield each. 'While he usually only carried one shield & bow at a time, he felt that if one was ever stolen, then he would have a replacement. As for these:' He said, gesturing towards the other objects. 'Ronan, this mask was left to you. I was told that this was the Masque of Clavicus Vile. This mask is said to boost the personality of it's wearer,'
'Wow, thanks,' Ronan said as he received the mask.
'And Sonia,' Jorgal said, turning to me. 'This was left to you. This is Mehrunes' Razor. It has a chance to instantly kill anything that it touches. Be very careful with this blade,'
'Thank you,' I said.
'Doria,' Jorgal said, turning to his daughter. 'I knew this day would come. So I'm giving you this,' Jorgal went to his chest, opened it, & pulled out a beautiful Elven dagger. 'This blade has kept me safe for several years. And now it's yours,'
'Thank you,' Doria said.
'You three better get some rest,' Jorgal said. 'Tomorrow you leave for Whiterun,'
And I'm done for today. Read & Review. Chosen out.
