Pretty slow weekend. I hope everyone had a very nice Turkey Day though. :D
Soo.. this one is a mini chapter to kinda test out a new direction I may decide to take the story in. If yes, then a certain person in the chapter will be happy, and if not... well then I'll be devoured by her sister's birds. LOL
Also, a big thank you to everyone who has been reading this fic and leaving me nice little reviews. You guys are great. :3
Kurogawa Yumi, the bond will come into play soon. :)
Siri glared at Mark as they neared the city.
"I'm sorry," he said, sheathing his sword. "I didn't ask for those thugs to show up. Okay so I may have 'liberated' a sweet roll from them, still..."
The group said nothing more to each other until they reached the main gate where a Whiterun guard stopped them. "Halt! The city is closed. Official business only."
"We have news about the dragon attack in Helgen," Mark said.
"You were all there? Very well, but we'll be keeping an eye on you." The guard unlocked the large wooden doors for them, allowing them to pass through. Once the gate had sealed, Miyuki turned to Mark.
"I will take her to the temple. I can manage it myself. You go on and do whatever it is you need to." The man simply nodded and sprinted off toward the great castle atop the highest hill in the city.
The injured girl had to lean on her friend at this point thanks to her previous injury, the new bruises and cuts from the thugs, and the toll the journey itself had taken on her. It was a wonder she hadn't been mistaken as a walking corpse.
Upon entering the temple, they saw that two very ill people were being seen to by a priest. A priestess came up to them. "Hello, I am Danica Pure-Spring. How may I help you?"
"My friend, Siri, has a deep gash on her left side, and many other smaller injuries. Can you help her?"
"Of course, of course, just bring her over here." The priestess led them to another area where she helped the Khajiit place Siri on the table. Danica carefully removed the leather armor and cloth. "Oh dear, that is rather deep, isn't it? One moment, I will have to give her a strong potion before I can begin healing her myself." With that, she disappeared into the next room, leaving the young adult to worry over her now sleeping friend.
oo00oo
The woman stood in the doorway, darkened more than usual. Her eyes fell upon the golden figure who watched the lands, not seeming to notice her presence.
"Do you think what I did was right?"
The twilight eyes grew wide ever so slightly as large amber ones met hers. "What is right really?"
"That does not answer my question," he sighed and turned away.
"Do I think you shouldn't have done it; 'tis not necessarily true. I wonder why you are asking me, and not your own brethren."
"You know why. They were all born under your sky; under your watch as well as mine."
"Not everything goes as planned the first time, but everything can be shaped the way we like in the end. Why do you hesitate now after thousands of lifetimes?"
The male inhaled deeply. "For the first time in thousands of lifetimes, I do not know what to do. I am not sure what action to take, especially after the era of my first-born. Now that he has returned to Tamriel, he may very well destroy her as well before the prophecy has been fulfilled."
The woman left a trail of stars and rose petals as she crossed the room. "You can choose to speak to-."
"No," he roared. "The result of that could be catastrophic. She cannot simply be told."
The female stiffened, pressing her lips into a thin line after being scolded. "Then a more subtle message perhaps?"
"What do you mean?"
The woman before him created a gem of a glittering violet night sky in the shape of the brightest sun. "A riddle if you will. This way, we can tell her, and yet she will not know it came from you."
The elder shut his eyes, deep in thought. He opened them again moments later. "What am I to do if she does find out?"
"Let nature run its course. Surely you knew she will figure it out eventually?"
"I did not think that it would come so soon. I suppose I can only hope it isn't too late." With that, the lady of twilight left the room to spread her colors across the skies of Tamriel once more, leaving the golden figure in a shadow of doubt.
I apologize for the short read, but the feedback I get from this will dictate how I write the rest of the story.
Therefore, it is EXTREMELY important you review, wether you liked it or hated it; member or guest, I NEED your feedback to keep this story alive. :D
So, haz a cookie, review, and haz a wonderful evening. :)
