As the creaky iron door slowly swung open to Orion's prison cell, a figure, he would never in his span of imagination, would appear ever again to him. As Elisif casual walked up to him, he stared with immense disbelief in what he was actual seeing right now and that not only Jarl Elisif who with age, still looked beautiful with her braided brown hair and green eyes along with her typical embroidered jarl robes, but also saw his childhood friend Karliana who grew up to be so tantalizing and beautiful in her now 30 years of age

Karliana had a small stature to her with braided black hair that hung past her shoulders still and adorned auburn orange eyes that resembled honey, her eyes now looking squinty but still enough to see a good portion of her eyes, it was very apparent to him that she had grown in all the right places as the years went on in her life and looked to still be very in shape and now rather buxom for her stature in contrary to his now weaken skinny stature. Something about what she was now attired was a surprise that he never expected in honest: she was now dressed in ebony armour that on the edges and linings of it were lined with gold lining instead of her typically leather armour he last saw her wore. She also had a very radiant looking sword inside a sheath that glowed with menacing radiant holy light in the middle of its hilt. Something did catch Orion off guard and that was the fact instead of having clean, pure skin, she had a tattoo of a dragon that situated on her left arm that ran down to her finger tips. To end off his complete physical evaluation of her he shot a general look stance of her and was sighing with relief inside his mind to now that she still had soften facial features that dressed her.

He stared at that two women for awhile before weakly mustering up words, " What in Oblivion are you two…" this was cut off with a deathly cough from him and along with it came a small portion of blood that splattered onto the cold stone bricks.

Karliana in an instant, rushed to his side with tears streaming down her face so fast it was like Riverwood's river. Elisif soon spoke, " Orion, I will first address and speak that I am incredibly sorry for this massive and atrocious mistake I conducted."

Orion stared at her with disbelief before answering, " What do you mean," Orion spoke puzzling.

Before Elisif could even muster the words to respond, Karliana intervened and said with tears still slightly streaming, "That I was right and you were wrongly accused of murdering the High King" and then looking at Elisif and expressing with anger, " I damn told you that he didn't murder him you incompetent women driven by emotions instead of logical damn thinking!"

" Look Kar, I wasn't thinking straight and was distraught because of the events you have to-"

Before she could finish Karliana declared with guttural speech, " YEA AND HOW THE ACTUAL FUCK COULD HE MURDER SOMEONE IN SUCH AN OBVIOUS WAY! YOU DAMN KNOW HIM AND THEY LITERALLY GREW UP TOGETHER, WE ALL DID: YOU, ME, TORYGG, AND ORION!"

They bickered back and forth with their faces close and could very well power dwarven machinery for how much steam he swear he saw and this went on for what seemed like an eternity for Orion, before Orion raised his voice the best he could and articulated the following, " OK, let's just stop bickering and inform me what in the nine divines in happening!" What came after this was a terrible coughing fit from him and Karliana aiding him but lightly patting his back.

Elisif cleared her throat and spoke, " We are releasing you immediately and returning your possessions: House, armour, weapons, stuff like that and compensating you by allowing you the title of Thane of Skyrim, which comes with perks like permanent half off discounts on shops, you won't longer have to pay to stay in inns anymore when on traveling, and we will throw a party for you every year on the day you defeated Alduin: Frostfall 23th 201."

Whilst this was happening, a guard was unshackling him and by the time she was done explaining everything like how sorry everyone was and apologizing nonstop, he was finally free and Karliana helped him down and he had now had the chance to feel the hard, cold, and bland floor that was his prison cell. He felt now of skinny he was and felt incredible sadness over this now: He was once so muscular and strong but was now so scrawny and thin.

Elisif then proceeded to beg to him, " Please, oh, Please Orion… I know I don't deserve any kindness from you whatsoever anymore and nor does any of Skyrim but please from the bottom of your heart: Please help find who murder my husband." After finishing, she broke into a deep sob and he went to her side and embraced her.

He held her there for what seemed like forever before speaking while looking into her tear stained eyes, " Don't worry Elisif, I know you were in a mournful state and distraught by the death of your husband and my best friend Torygg, I know that you weren't thinking rationally. I am still always and forever be loyal to the people who helped me and people especially who are my friends since birth. All I ask of you is a special request before I get delve into this request of yours."

The Jarl then looked at him questionly but intrigued at the same time and quizzingly said, " What do you want?"

He grinned with the best of his ability and uttered, " Give me 6 months and no distractions"
