Allea's Point of View

Odahviing's wings flapped heavily as me and Serana sat on his back, soaring in the air above Skyrim.
"What do you think?"

My wife screamed out an answer.

"It's amazing!"

"It is, isn't it? That's one of the perks of knowing a Dragonborn!"

I used my vampiric sight to hone in on a structure I saw down below.
"See that wall down there?"

"Yeah?"

"That's the border of Skyrim and Morrowind."
"It is?"
"Yes. Do you want to go to Morrowind?"
"Do you?"
"I don't know. I've never been there, and I've sometimes wanted to see it."

"Alright, then if you want to see it we can visit."

"I don't really want to go there right now. Maybe some other time," I said.
I directed Odahviing to turn around. I spotted a strange structure in the distance, along the border.
"Do you have any idea what that is?"
"No idea," my wife said, shaking her head.

"Should we check it out?"
"Sure. Let's do it."

We flew towards the structure.
"The design of that building reminds me of something. Not quite sure what, though," I said, narrowing my eyes at the building.

Odahviing landed in front of it, and I slid off the dragon's back. My hand was on the hilt of my sword as we approached.
"I think I know what this reminds me of."
"What?"
"It's hard to explain, and I doubt it is, but this structure reminds me of the Inner Sanctum. Snow elf architecture."

Serana nodded.
"Yes, it does look like it was built by snow elves. And it looks remarkably well preserved considering there's only supposed to be one snow elf left in Tamriel and he's at the Inner Sanctum."
A volley of arrows flew towards us. Odahviing roared and Shouted at the building.
"YOL TOOR SHUUL!"

"Odahviing! Stand down! We come in peace!"

Several tall, thin figures dropped from the walls of the place, bows drawn. They held their bows on me and Serana.
"Kill the worm and take their weapons."

"We mean you no harm. Odahviing was just trying to protect us from your attack," I said, raising my arms in surrender.

Serana followed me lead and raised her arms as one of the elves pulled my weapon belt from my wrist.
"Odahviing! Get away from here, don't fight these elves!"

Odahviing sprang into the air and flew away.
"Why are you here?"

"We were flying near Morrowind, considering crossing the border and decided not to. We turned, and as we turned, I spotted this building, and it reminded me of something we had seen before, and we were curious just what it was we were looking at, so we flew closer to investigate. And you know the rest."

"I see. What was it that this building reminded you of?"
"The Inner Sanctum, in the Chantry of Auri-El. Where we fought and killed a vampire snow elf and obtained Auriel's Bow."

"Give them back their weapons. Only those pure of heart would be able to reach the Inner Sanctum and obtain Auriel's Bow."

They handed us our weapons back. I pulled down the hood of my custom armor Serana had forged for me while I was away working for the Nightingales. It was similar to hers, but it had an added leather hood with the top part of the cloak being leather, and the cloak led into the hood. It also had clawed gauntlets and boots with talons.

"You can enter the sanctuary. If you have Auriel's Bow we trust you."
