Chapter 10
I'm skipping though the date (And by that, I mean by the story date) so I don't have to explain Every GODDAMN THING They do day by day!
*Flip a table*
Alright, enough lollygagging, let go...
"Come on!" Farkas shouted as Keksis charged at him, rolling under his blade as the knight stood behind the Nord, his blade ready to attack
"At least he getting better," A huntress said as she watched the two train
"Who? Keksis or Farkas?"
"You know who I'm talking about, Vilkas," Aela said as the daedra and the Nord train with one another
It has been two weeks since the Moon camp. Keksis had been doing many favors for the Jarl while doing quests that the guild give him. Sometimes with Petra, some time alone while she's on a quest with another member of the companion. He doesn't seem to mind about another shield-brother or sister joining him on quests.
There had been some troubles with the townfolks and the guards in Whiterun, mostly just false alarms and small fights whatever. So Keksis just mainly hang around the Jorrvaskr.
"Is he still trying to beat him?" A voice said behind to the two. Aela and I turned around to see Petra walking toward them.
"This is his fifth-time," Aela said as they both watched Farkas, taking another swing at the Daedra as he blocked the attack. Shoving it forward before kicking him onto the ground.
"How long do you think it would take for him do this?" Vilkas asked
Petra smiled as an idea popped into her head, she stepped down a few steps before shouting
"Hey, Keksis!"
The Daedra glanced at the three mortals to his left, letting his guard down for a little bit as Farkas punched him in the stomach with the head of the great hammer as he continues to push forward until Keksis fell to the ground, as Farkas pin him down.
"There," The Nord grunted as he walked toward the shade under the sun.
"You should have let him win Petra," Aela said as Farkas walked back into the Jorrvaskr while Petra shrugged as a replied
"Well, I got something for you two anyway," Aela said as Keksis walked up to them "The resident of Falkreath are reporting Draugrs and something else lurking in their woods, something glowing green, we figure that it's some Spriggans fighting with the undead"
"Well, let get to it then," Petra said
"But there is one thing you should know," Aela said, stopping Petra from leaving "When we're given this assignment- They said there was something strange, something about a large creature," she said handing her a piece of paper, folded into two
"I'll be careful if I were you"
"Don't worry- I got Keksis here" Petra said, taking a quick glance at the Daedra Knight
"What do you mean by, Strange?" Keksis asked
"Well, the paper I gave her should explain it. But Vilkas will be coming with you since we have no idea what we're facing" Aela said as the Nord's eyes widen in shock
"Now wait a minute-"
"Vilkas, we have no idea what they're facing. That why I'm sending you with Petra and Keksis" Aela said to Vilkas before turning toward the two other companions "You're going to have to go through Riverwood to get to Falkreath"
"All right... let go then" Vilkas said as the three set off to Falkreath
As the three companions walked out of the gate of whiterun, Petra looked at the piece of paper that the huntress gave her, opening it as she quietly read it.
"What does it say?" Vilkas asked
"Hold on" Petra replied, clearing her throat
"To the companions of Jorrvaskr,
By the Jarl of Falkreath. I request the assistance of the companions of Jorrvaskr. My guards and people are reporting a fairly large creature stalking around my hold. They claim to be a Spriggan, while some claim to be a giant. For the safety of my town, I request that you'll help defeat this creature, and I'll have willing guards help you on your hunt killing this creature.
Jarl Siddgeir of Falkreath"
Petra finally finish as she took a deep breath
"A giant?"
"It should be an easy task for you two," Vilkas said as they passed a nearby farm
"Vilkas, Can you wait in Riverwood for a bit," Petra asked
"What do you mean? you're not leaving me there, are you?" He said
"No, I just like to visit someone in Riverwood real quick. He's a good friend, I just like to see him real quick" Petra replied
"All right then, but we better get to Falkreath as soon as we can, we don't want to keep the Jarl waiting," he said
As Petra and the three other companions reached the entrance of Riverwood, there were a few more guards the last time Keksis was here, but it was the same as always
At the Sleeping Inn, A girl was sitting on the step of the small stairs before looking up, with a cheerful look on her face as she looked at the gate
"PETRA!" The girl shouted, running toward the female Nord
"Dorthe!" Petra replied back, as the girl hugged her
"Alvor told me that you were staying in whiterun, but he didn't tell me why," Dorthe said
"About that, I joined the companions" She answers her "Speaking of which, where is your father?"
"He's at the forge"
"As always," Petra said with a chuckle at the end as she looked to the house with the forge attached to it
As Keksis and Petra approach the forge, the sound of the blower breathing out air on the hot burning coals of the forge. The blacksmith was busy on his build, that didn't notice the two figure standing near the entrance
As he places the burning hot metal into the water beside him, he heard a similar voice behind him as he wiped his forehead from the heat
"Still working hard as always?"
"Petra!" Alvor said cheerfully as he walked toward the two companions "It had been a while huh?"
"You could say that," she said
"And how are you Keksis?" Alvor asked the Knight
"He's fine as he is" Petra answered for him while The knight crossed crossing his arms
"So Petra, you told me that you joined the companions in your letter"
"Yes, I did, and that why we're here- or passing by right now," She said, "I thought that it would be a good idea to stop by"
"Where are you planning on going?"
"We're traveling to a hold call, Falkreath" Keksis replied "A creature that is either a giant or a Spriggan, they call it"
"I heard about that, some traveling Caravans came by this morning. They said they were attacked by a large Spriggan. But it had a strange look to it" Alvor said
"At least we know what we're fighting," A voice said behind them
"Vilkas, how long are were you standing there?" Petra asked, surprise that their shield-brother was behind them
"Long enough, but we should get going Petra," Vilkas said
Petra nodded before looking back at the blacksmith "It was good seeing you again Alvor"
"Same here, good luck on your journey," He said as he watched the three exiting the town gate.
It will be a while until they reach Falkreath
For some reason, I feel like this was a bit short... but I'm too lazy to make it longer
