A/N- The Ancestors Book 1 has been up for a month, if you haven't read it yet. You should. In other news. Every chapter has been updated. Some chapters have been made longer while others I just edited typos. Remember if you see a mistake to let me know. Sometimes I look through them. :)

Chapter 22: Ustengrav

"So who wants to go with me to Ustengrav to get The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller?" Tori asked while we were all sitting down eating supper. "Don't all raise your hands at once."

Valdis shook her head,"No way. I am not going into a ancient tomb anytime soon."

"Same." Rhonda said before taking another bite of her food.

"I'll go!" Jed Jr. replied to which we all jumped up and said,"NO!"

"Aww why not?"

"You are too young for that." Tori said.

"When you are older you can go with us all you want but it's too dangerous for a cub in an ancient tomb. I said. He didn't say anything else so I said to Tori,"I'll go with you but I need a couple of days rest first."

Tori smiled," Okay we can leave in a couple of days then."

Just then Ivan walked in with an Imperial man with bright red hair. "Hello." He said. "My name is Huey Keenan and I am a member of the companions."

"What are the companions?" Jed Jr. asks.

" The companions are warriors. We deal with problems throughout Skyrim."

"What kind of problems?"

Ivan spoke up." Well last night we had to kill a bear that had somehow gotten into someone's house."

"Are you serious?" Rhonda asked with a laugh.

"Yes and it was a small house too so it wasn't easy."

"Well damn!"

The door opened again and a Nord woman walked in. "There you are my thane." She said.

Ivan rolled his eyes,"Yes I am here my housecarl."

Everyone burst out laughing at this. Soon when everyone was done eating, I helped Ivan clean up the dirty dishes while everyone else went to do who knows what else. Once that was done we sat down at the table. "It sure is empty now!' I said.

When everyone else was here there wasn't any room to move around. Half of us had to eat downstairs.

"Yeah it sure is." Ivan said in agreement. "We're going to have to get a bigger house."

"Haha no kidding!"

"So what do you want to do today?"

"Sleep." I say which is followed by a big yawn.

"Want me to lay with you?"

"Yes please."

He helps me off of the chair and over to the bed.

"Wait."

"Huh?"

"I need to change into my night clothes and stuff first."

"Ah okay. Go ahead honey. I'll wait for you."

"Thanks..." I yawned again and then quickly get my night clothes on while trying to not pass out from tiredness. I then get into bed with Ivan who is also in his night clothes. "When did you change your clothes?"

"Same time you were."

"Oh." I then snuggle into his arms and the last thing I hear before I fall asleep is." Sweat dreams honey, I love you."

The next day.

I open my eyes to see Ivan's golden eyes looking right at me. Smiling I kiss him gently on the lips. He kisses back while holding me close to his chest. We break apart and just look at each other. "I love you honey." He says.

My heart skips a beat and I give one last kiss before getting up. "I'm going to get dressed." I say. I try to ignore the look of hurt in his eyes as I quickly get dressed feeling guilty. We have been together for a year and I still haven't been able to say it back.

Once we are both dressed for the day, Ivan starts cooking. I sigh as I sit down and watch him cook. "Problem?" He asks.

I sigh again and say,"I wish I could cook."

"Well I could teach you."

I shake my head,"It's no use. I've had multiple people try to teach me. No matter what I try to cook I fuck it up."

"How so?"

"Let's see, one time I tried to cook stew. It tasted like burnt urine. Another time I tried, the food came out so black that even a dog wouldn't eat. And the last time I tried to cook...The house almost burned down."

Ivan looked shocked,"Well that's something."

"Yeah..."

"Anyway. I don't mind cooking. I've always liked cooking."

"You're also the best cook."

"Aww thank you honey."

Once we are done eating and the dishes are done we go for a walk. As we are walking I shiver from the cold. "You need warmer clothes under your armor." Ivan says frowning.

I sigh,"Yeah. It's too bad that the clothes we made for coming to Skyrim got destroyed in the sanctuary."

We stop and look out at the lake. After a few minutes I look up at Ivan and say,"You know. I wouldn't get so cold if you turned me into a werewolf."

"That's true. You're leaving in the morning though so nows not the best time."

"I sigh disappointed,"I suppose you are right."

"If you aren't busy next time you are here I will make you a werewolf."

"You promise?"

"I promise honey."

Very early next morning.

Me, Tori, Lydia, and Ivan's housecarl, Iona(Ivan made her come with us)started walking almost as soon as we woke up. The four of us are currently having a blast singing.

"We are on our way to Ustengrav

Ustengrav

Ustengrav

We are on are way to Ustengrav

To find The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller."

Suddenly there is a loud roar and looking to my left I see a cave bear running towards us. "I got this." Tori says. Running over to it she shouts,"Fus Ro!" And then taking out her mace kills it with two blows to the head. "That was too easy."

" Hurray for the Dovahkiin!" I cheer.

"Hurray for the Dovahkiin!" Lydia and Iona repeat.

Tori rolls her eyes,"Really must you do that?"

"Yep." I say laughing.

Rolling her eyes again, Tori continues walking and we start back up with,

"We are on our way to Ustengrav

Ustengrav

Ustengrav

We are on are way to Ustengrav

To find The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller."

Two days later.

"Look that must be it!" I say excitedly pointing to ancient tomb that we can now see in the distance.

"Oh good. We can finally kill something other then bears and sabre cats." Tori says with a laugh.

With the two housecarls close behind us, we run the rest of the way to the tomb.

We get there and bandits and necromancers are fighting. We hide and once the fighting stops and the necromancers win, rush out and kill them before they even knew what hit them. Once inside Ustengrav we have to deal with more necromancers. As fast as we can we finish them off and continue on our way.

Many hours and many undead kills later we reach a locked gate. After awhile of trying to figure it out, Tori guessed that she would have to quickly run by the red glowing pillar and use Whirlwind Sprint. So I stood near the gate while Lydia and Iona each stood by one of the glowing pillars. Tori then shouted,"Wuld!"

I watch as always, amazed as she runs fast through the gate. "Hurry for the Dovahkiin!" I shout.

"Hey look the gates still open!" Iona says.

I look and sure enough it is. "Good that means we can follow her. So the three of us run in after Tori.

"I've never seen anything quit like that." Lydia says as we look around the room.

"It sure is something."

Tori who is ahead of us suddenly snares angrily,"What the fuck!?"

"What is it?" I ask running up to her.

She hands me a piece of parchment and says,"Someone was here before us. And they took the horn!"

"What!? So we walked all this way for nothing?" I read the note that was left a get even more angry. "And now we have to walk to Riverwood. Wonderful."
