Loredas 29th of Last Seed

Early Morning.

Yesterday after speaking with the members. I asked Vilkas if he had anything he needed help with.

Some members of a rich family were traveling and was beset by giant near Whiterun and in their haste to flee they left behind a Steel Greatsword and he wanted me to get it. I thought that he was crazy, me going into a Giant's territory, but as Harbinger I could not refuse.

The Giant were to the south west of Whiterun at the base of the mountain. I cautiously approached the Giant's territory, the Giant looked at me and didn't move to attack nor retreat. After a time he got bored of me and walked the other way. I surveyed the area and saw a large chest, I figured that if I was a Giant I would throw my spoils into there. The Giant having lost interest in me I hurried to the chest, hoping that it would stay that way. The chest's lock was pried open and not functional, the hinges barely held on. I guess the Giant used his great strength to force the chest open. I threw back the lid and peered inside, glinting in the mid day sun the sword awaited besides the sword was a tome like the mages use to learn spells, Candlelight was embossed on the cover.

I looked around nervously for the Giant, he was looking the other way scratching his back with his massive club. I liberated the great sword and the tome from their prison and ran like hell. Slowing only after I had put plenty of distance between me and the Giant and making sure he was not following me.

I gave the sword to Vilkas and he paid me for my work. I was curious about the tome I had found and when I opened it the book burst into a great light and when the light dissipated I had gained the knowledge of the spell, Looking for more work I went to find Farkas to see if he had any tasks for me.

His task had surprised me, he told me that he had been thinking, and he told me that he wanted to live and die like a true Nord. He wanted to be like Kodlak and be cleansed. I told him that I respected his decisions and would accompany him on this journey.

We first went to the Room of the Harbinger and retrieved a witch's head from the locker that I had moved the heads to, the magic of the head preserving them perfectly.

I looked at the map and saw that there was a small road that lead away from Winterhold, and asked what Farkas thought about taking a wagon to Winterhold and then proceeding on foot from there. He said that he was not a thinker and would follow with what ever I thought was best. The wagoner was more than pleased to take us there. I slept through most of the trip, but I am pretty sure that Farkas didn't sleep a wink.

We arrived in Winterhold shortly after dusk had set in and made our way to Ysgramor's tomb. I brought Farkas up the path of heroes so he could see what he missed, he still got skittish at where he last left us, I assured him that all the spiders were dead and he hesitantly followed.

At the Flame of the Harbringer I asked him if this is what he truly wanted, I gave him the head and he tossed it in. As with Kodlak, Farkas' beast spirit was given form. The beast was strong like Farkas and was hard to put down but eventually we were victorious. Farkas was relieved to be free of the beast blood and told me that he will be staying for a time to truly take in what the tomb had to offer. I smiled at him and turned to leave, he put his large hand on my shoulder and thanked me for what I did for him. I let him know that it was my pleasure to help out my fellow Shield Sibling.

The trip back to Whiterun would have be perilous in the dark but thanks to the spell that I learned earlier it made the trip less treacherous. The sun had since risen when I finally reached the halls of Jorrvaskr. Stumbling to my room with fatigue I recorded the days events and drifted off to sleep.
