Hello again I'm back with the second chapter I hope you all enjoy
Three months have passed since Harkon was killed and now winter has come to the continent of Skyrim. from Solitude to Riften thick layers of snow coated the lands..
Breezehome in whiterun
The Dragonborn had never really liked winter he never understood why children loved it so much throwing snowballs at each other. it was far to cold for his liking but it's not like he could prevent it but he could stay away from the snow and sit in front of his nice warm fire as he was now.
If only he had known that Serana the usual composed sometimes stoic woman he had come to know and love would be just like if not worse then the children he had seen running around the street.
A knock on the door de railed his train of thought standing up from his seat in front of the fire place and went to open the door revealing a courier "good day Dragonborn" the courier greeted "Hello" Alexander greeted "I have a message from yarl Balgruuf " the courier said while rummaging through his satchel searching for the letter "ah here it is" the courier mumbled to himself he handed it to Alexander "right I must be off more letter to deliver and all that" the courier waved as he walked away Alexander gave a nod of appreciation and closed the door.
Going back to his seat he opened the letter.
Dear Alexander the Dragonborn
Hello old friend I haven't heard from you in sometime save for the occasional letter so I wanted to invite you to a party I'm hosting it starts in a few hours and I'm know you are in town so don't try to hide in you home like you do every winter. and bring that lover of yours I've heard so much about Serana I believe her name was I'm sure she would enjoy a party.
See you soon
Your friend Yarl Balgruuf the greater
Sighing he really didn't want to go outside but he knew he hadn't seen Balgruuf in a long time and he was one of his closest friend with a grunt he stood up and got his wolf fur cloak wrapped it around his shoulders and went outside to tell Serana about the party.
The second Alexander stepped out the door he was met with a snow ball to the face courtesy of Serana who was surrounded by a group of children who where on the ground rolling with laughter.
"Ha ha sorry Alex" Serana laughed whipping a tear from her eye "we both know your not" Alex grumbled whipping to snow from his face the former Vampiress skipped over to him and leaned over with a mischievous smirk on glued to her face "oh don't tell me your mad at me" her smirk getting wider.
She was planning something he could feel the magic in the air when whiterun usually had none he was about to speak when a massive snowball fell on him covering him.
Alex narrowed his eyes so that's what she was doing since Serana had cured herself she lost her vampiric drain spell she she had started to master cryomancy and that extended to control over snow
Alexander couldn't help but smile at this while he hated the cold it was nice seeing Serana enjoy herself. since she had to kill Harkon she had become distant and cold while he may have been a monster no one should have the take their own fathers life not wanting to ruin her mood he decided to entertain her until balgruuf's party "so that's how it's going to be" Dovakin smirked Serana giggled and ran behind the well in the centre of the marketplace to collect more snow.
Alex had constructed a fort of 1 meters and used some ice magic to keep it stable while Serana used the well . He peeked over the snow fort and proceeded to catch a snowball with his face he groaned and sat behind the wall of his fort Alex conjured a snowball and prepared to throw it but was bombarded with snowballs knocking him to the ground the cold air making it hurt even more then usual but it was worth it to hear Serana and her army of children laugh.
Throwing caution to oblivion the Dragonborn used his telekinesis spell to pick up large amounts of snow causing the laughter to die "Um Alex honey put the snow down" Serana tried to reason with him before he killed them with the sheer amount that he intended to throw "what's the matter princess afraid?" the Dragonborn teased "RUN!" Serana ordered her army of children while a twitch of his hand the snow storm rained fourth crushing the children and Serana.
Serana sat up from the pile and laughed she the gestured to the unconscious children "you might have gone a little over board" She continued laughing with a shrug Alex replied "maybe but you started this" her response was to throw another snowball hitting him square in the face "hey that one had a rock in it" he then returned fire hitting Serana in the chest.
she popped her knuckles "OK dragon boy lets dance" snowball for snowball sometimes containing a stone courtesy of Serana on occasion another person would join in
They kept at this for almost an hour before Alex gave in "ok ok you win" he put his hands up in surrender.
He remembered the letter yarl Balgruuf sent him "I almost forgot the yarl sent me an invitation to a party he's throwing in an hour do you want to come? Alexander asked brushing of the snow on his cloak this caused Serana to smile "I'd love to I haven't been to a anything like a party since the..." She stopped speaking as memories of the ritual that turned her into a vampire can flooding back Alex placed a hand on her shoulder and kissed her on the head "it ok you don't have to say" she gave a look of appreciation "alright come on let's go" Serana shook her head "you go ahead I had a dress from radiant raiment made and shipped down and I want to try it out" and with that she ran towards breezehome. With a chuckle Alex turned towards Dragonsreach
At the party
Balgruuf's party was as he expected very lively with ale's and mead being served but scantily clad tavern wenches as Balgruuf put it. the guests consisted of high ranking lords and ladies the companions and neighbouring yarl's and some bards from solitude. All of them were dressed in fine clothes made of the best cloths with the most refined gems as Jewellery .he felt so under dressed in his green tunic drown pants and leather boots
It didn't help when Serana walked in wearing the most beautiful sleeveless crimson red dress that hugged her curves very well , it had a slit in down the side of her leg and a long tail that just barely touched the ground
"Close your mouth Alex you'll catch flies" Serana winked
The party when as well as expected drinking , feasting , Mikael flirting with Serana Alex punching him in the face , more drinking all in Balgruuf's party was a success
Back at breezehome
Alex and Serana were currently lay in bed cuddled up together trying to keep warm from the cold winter air outside
"Thank you for today" Serana said her voice muffled by the fur blankets "why are you thanking me?" Alex asked "I know you don't like winter and you still played with me and then invited me to a party today was the most fun I've had in a long time" she sat up and look and him in the eyes this made the Dragonborn smile" of course I'm happy you had fun" her reply was to kiss her him which Alex returned full force.
They pulled apart and Serana rested her head on Alex's chest and her drew circles on her shoulder with his finger "I love you" Serana said with a yawn Alex smiled and said "I love you too" with that both of then drifted of to sleep with Alex leaving behind one final thought
Maybe winter wasn't so bad after all
