Chapter 6. Un-end-able Love
A/n: Again, thank you, and for any of you that were wondering, no Nels and Vvardenfell won't get any closer.
Vvardenfell ran to the spot where Nels was lying. Holding his limp body in her hands she wept under her breath.
"Oh Azura, have I not suffered enough? Please do not take him from me, not now." She sobbed softly.
She finished her prayer and felt Nels' breaths come slowly, and he was soon wide awake. Vvardenfell kissed him with joy, and helped him to his feet.
"Nels, what happened?" She asked. "The bodies the slain, some are not the bandits I saw leave the cave. Nels, were you being pursued?" She asked, desperately hoping for some answer other than yes.
When she saw that Nels was silent she took his hand and the two walked off through the hills.
"Where are we going?" Nels said in his usual, raspy tone.
"Well, first lets find a town, and maybe I'll by you a drink." Said Vvardenfell, a smirk growing on her face.
Nels put his arm around her in the late afternoon sun.
"Let's just see if we can even find a town!" Nels said jokingly. They both knew that Pelegiad was very near. They were both joking around trying to get the events of the last day off their minds.
Maybe being a rogue could wait…
Nels and Vvardenfell walked into Pelegiad a little after moonrise. The two were hand-in-hand, and they brought a silence over the town. No one had ever seen such a handsome Dwenmer man with such a rugged-looking Nord.
Nels led Vvardenfell into the inn. Even though he was a bandit, he could still be a gentleman.
"Two rooms please." He said, glancing over towards Vvardenfell for her approval. Vvardenfell nodded and began fumbling in her pocket.
"No, I'm paying Vvardi." He said. She smiled at him.
"So, you got a girlfriend?" Asked the Tavern owner, ignoring Vvardenfell and handing over two room keys.
"Sure." Said Nels. Vvardenfell and Nels clasped hands and walked up the stairs.
"Bye Nels." Vvardenfell said stopping at her room. She kissed him and walked in, locking the door behind her.
She un-packed what little stuff she had, and climbed into bed. As she lay she watched her bedside candle flicker before she blew it pout and went to sleep.
Azura stood before Vvardenfell. Her words were as soft as falling rain. She began a new prophecy.
Death Overcome,
A Role Yet To Play.
Bells Ring.
Go To The Lake of Suran.
A Talking Mudcrab,
Prophecy there.
Muzghab where?
Vvardenfell awoke. It was morning and someone was rapping on her door. She got up and pulled her robe around her. As she opened the door she saw Nels' large frame.
"A bandit has to get an early start." He said. Vvardenfell gathered her things, and took Nels' outstretched hand.
She debated in her mind whether or not to tell Nels about the prophecy, and eventually decided to ask if the could go to Suran on ''vacation.''
"Why do you want to go there?" He asked, uncertain about the idea. The road was long and dangerous, and in some places not clearly visible.
"Well, I've never been to Suran and I thought that maybe it would be fun!" She said, trying her best not to reveal her true purpose.
"If it is your wish." He said, taking her hand and walking down the road following a sin that said in clear dark letters SURAN.
