Chapter eight: a fort for the legion.

"Mirvanye meet Shasha she will help us deliver reports to each other." I said while approaching Mirvanye. "Shasha this is my second in command if there is a problem you can ask her or me for help."

"Greetings child." Mirvanye held out a hand for Shasha. "I am Mirvanye and i am pleased to meet you."

"Thank you ma'am." Shasha took Mirvanye's hand and shook it.

"Mirvanye have the men settled in yet? I asked when they were done shaking hands.

"Yes my lord but i see why you wanted a new place for us to stay." Mirvanye said while looking on a map which i think is skyrim.

"What you are not staying here?" Shasha asked confused. "How will i be able to help you and you me?"

"Don't worry, i will take you with me if your father approves when i see him." I said while giving Shasha's hair a rub if my hand. "When i am done with my business i will search him for you."

"Thanks Thorein is there something i can do for you now?" Shasha asked with a big smile on her face.

"Not for me child i have business now but you can help Mirvanye with her task and i will still train you after dinner like i promised." I looked towards Mirvanye who had a small grin and nodded in agreement. "Goodbye and i will see you soon, both of you." With that i walked towards the ambassador's office.

"First ambassador i have a report on the priso-" a soldier stopped talking when i enter the ambassador's office.

"Continue soldier." Elenwen said frustrated.

"Prisoner we captured two weeks ago. He broke and spilled everything you wanted to know here is the report." The soldier gave the ambassador a document and left when she was waved off.

"Busy i can come back another time if that is preferable for you ambassador?" i slightly joked. "or if you prefer i can stay and help you with..." i looked at her desk."This diplomatic mess."

"Well i don't want to impose on your very busy mission." The ambassador replied sarcastically. "But still i would appreciate it."

"Then you have my aid, and maybe we can get to know each other better." Elenwen looked confused. "We didn't start out very well but still we must work together and i would hate to have this be a trouble in the future."

"No it is quit alright, but how must i call you? Because i know your name but you outrank me yet i don't know why." Elenwen asked when i sat down and took a document of her desk.

"You can call me my lord or sir some call me prince but not thorein." i replied looking through a document from a justiciar who found a few talos worshippers in 'haafingar' why in the gods names are these naming. "And how would you prefer to be called by me?"

"Well my lord prince." She said sarcastically. "You can call me ambassador or Elenwen which suits you the best. But why prince if i may ask?"

"Because i am the queen's son." I let a heavy sign seeing these nord's called things. "Where lays haafingar?"

"You are in haafingar sir, solitude is the capital of skyrim but also of haafingar hold why?" she asked while looking through a document of her own.

"Because this justiciar found a group of talos worshippers and i am going to send some men to aid him." I said while putting the document on a cabin. "And beside's my men could use the fights now and then."

"Well that's all right but sir if i may ask you?" Elenwen looked at me when i took another document. "What is your mission her precisely?"

"My mission precisely is secret but i am here to investigate something and aid dominion forces in skyrim." I looked Elenwen in the eyes and got intrigued. "Will you tell me more about you lady ambassador, what do you like him?"

"What i ... o well i like flowers and fine food and wines sometimes a good book, but sometimes i also enjoy the long nights just sit down look at the sky romantically think... uhm never mind and you sir?"

"Well i like a good fight and beautiful female mer's and off course good company. But i also enjoy the small things you know." I shifted through the document about an 'Elisif the fair'. "You know ambassador, i won't stay in your embassy for long."

"You won't, that is ... well why not?" Elenwen looked up surprised. "If there is anything-"

"well i need a place for my men and we can't do business here and you can help by saying if i take over a fort or something like that who must i check with the imperial legion to make sure there won't be a problem about it?" i replied while closing the document and gave it back at Elenwen.

"You must see general tullius about that he is the head of the imperials here in skyrim." Elenwen let out a heavy sign and rubbed her temples. "Let me tell you this mess is killing me."

"Take a break ambassador, go outside for a while then come back." I said while taking another document of her desk. "Walk around talk with justiciars and soldier maid or what you got walking around here."

"No i cant there is so much-"

"I could order you to do it." I said to her with a wink. "So either you go freely or i order you. What is it going to be ambassador?"

"I... i will go freely." She let her shoulders drop a second. "And if anyone comes to me with a document i will send him to you just so you know."

"I know and i accept now go outside and just relax you won't be any use to anyone dead." I shook my head before smiling at Elenwen who slowly walked out still looking behind.

We have found the stormcloak general near the reach with a small platoon of guards and we are taking her to the embassy at your order's we will arrive first of last seed.

That is today good maybe i can ask the ambassador to take the honor.

"Thorein Mirvanye asked me to give you these." She gave me several papers. "And i was asked to take any message you have for her when you're done."

"Thanks Shasha please take a seat." I looked through the papers about potential places for the red legion. "Did she say anything else to you?"

"Well that if you made a choice she would send men or something I can't remember sorry." She said sadly.

"It is all right you won't be punished for that by me, but tell her to sent men to scout out-. No i will write it down for you if that is what you prefer Shasha?"

"Yes please sir just to be safe right?" Shasha sounded fearful.

"Shasha did your father punish you when you forgot something?" i asked her while writing what i wanted Mirvanye to do. "I will not, forgetting something is possible."

"Yes sir i know but my dad said 'we mer are the best of the best we don't make mistakes' so i just try to do good by him."

"Here take this to Mirvanye and don't be someone you aren't just be you and everything will be all right promise me."

"Yes i will sir i promise." Shasha walked away leaving me with the documents of the ambassador

"NOOOOO! My child, find them kill them bring me their heads on a silver platter." The woman shrieked out.

"Don't bother bitch we are here and you are all sentenced to death for betraying alinor and the dominion." I shouted towards the woman. "Lay down your weapons and you will face a fair trial deny and die." I readied my spear and quickly glanced at my left hip to see if i had my sword with me which i fortunately did.

"You killed my child now you will die." The woman shot a fire bolt my way which was aimed a bit too high and missed me entirely. "You red legion dogs are nothing compared to the real defenders kill them men but leave the cocky prince to me." I signaled my men to fight and win.

I saw a defender charge me with his sword raised and smirked at his foolishness as i impaled him on my spear. I kicked his lifeless body off my spear and scanned the chamber quickly my men fought the outmatched defenders, i saw one creep up on a sergeant i threw my spear at the defender and saw it hit him in his neck. I unsheathed my sword and charged a group of defenders near the stairs.

"You will not survive today bitch your time and the defenders has come for you." I stabbed one defender in his chest and bashed another on his head with my shield. "Your men are dead your legacy is dead you will-"

"Shut up you stupid arrg." I heard her let out a roar and she charged me with an elven sword in her right hand and spell in the left.

I readied myself for the fight and saw her left hand prepare a fire bolt and her right hand was raised to strike from above the head. I side stepped her sword and bashed her with my shield. "You can't win you never had a chance, none will remember you, you hear me traitor you are going to die in here, YOU. ARE. GOING. TO. DIE! "I let out an evil laugh while striking her right leg.

She let out a pained howl before firing the fire bolt at me i raised my shield just in time. I walk toward the traitor and looking down on her with a disdainful face. "Look around you, you brought those men here saying you would win they gave their lives for you and you don't even have the dignity to acknowledge that."

"Whatever i did i did for the altmer people, they fought for a dream that can't be broken you may kill me-"

"Arrogant bitch." I bashed her face before plunging my sword through her heart.

I look around and saw no defenders left standing. "Soldiers of the red legion rejoice victory is ours."

The soldiers all raised their arms into the air and praising the gods and their brothers.

"Sir what are your orders?" a commander asked who walked up towards me.

"Let the throat cutters do their job then burn this place down to the ground after everything of note has been taken away." I looked towards the traitor woman and saw a shameful excuse of an altmer if she just did things the other way she could have been something.

"My lord what... you have finished almost everything." I looked up towards the first ambassador. "How that where reports that would take days to look at and... how did you do it?"

"easy ambassador you look at what is important note it read more, look what you can do then look at the consequences of the actions and then decide and besides politics in not my thing so i have it easier because i see what is important and not. But these here are person i haven't heard of so i leave those in you capable hands." I stood up and walked away and gave Elenwen a small wink. "See you at dinner ambassador."

"Wha... yes off course at dinner i will see you then." Elenwen sounded dumbfound.

"Lord Thorein you wanted to see me?"Arundil asked while sitting near the ambassador's office. "I heard you where busy so i waited."

"Yes tomorrow you and i will go to solitude to inform someone there and also meet a secret contact we have there." I replied looking at Arundil. "Wait are you feeling alright you look a bit... i don't know sad?"

"O yes well... it is something private sir it involves my family." Arundil let out a sign. "I am sure you have more pressing issues to attend to-"

"Nonsense Arundil i have time before dinner starts so let's get somewhere more private so we can discuss your private matter." I smiled at Arundil. "Besides i like having you around so you must feel safe when i can help it."

"Thanks sir i am always safe with you near aren't i besides that i would enjoy talking about it with you maybe it will do me good." Arundil stopped and sat down on a chair. "It is my father i talked to him before we left and we talked good and long. A topic off love came to word and he asked if i loved someone and truth be told i think i do and told him, but when we were on the sea he gotten ill and i don't know if it is going to be alright or-" she stopped and let out a soft sob.

I put my arms around her for a hug and said. "I will be here for you if you need me and when i must go back to alinor i will take you with me i promise you Arundil." She returned the hug. "Do you need to be alone for a while?"

"No i am able to work but i will hold you to that promise. And when i receive word of what is wrong with him or how he is doing i will tell you." Arundil said before release me. "And the person i love i don't think he loves me as i love him. Did you ever had that Thorein?"

"kind off but i told her all the same and if she didn't then i didn't have to worry about it anymore and can move on maybe that is a sound advice for you, Yes?" i replied with a warm smile. "But do you wish to come to solitude with me or must i choose another one?"

"Yes that is a sound advice and off course i will go with you, you teaser." She stuck her tong out to me.

"Pretty tong can i have it?" i teased. "But come dinner will soon be served and i made a promise to teach someone after dinner." With that we walked towards the dinning room.
