If you have any ideas for the story or some comment good or bad review and i will think about and adjust.
Chapter fourteen: dovakin.
I woke up and dressed myself in plain pants with a red shirt.
"Thorein may i come in?" Ramiana asked trough the door. "I have food and some questions about what you told me."
"Sure come in." i replied with a grin. "So what are your questions?"I asked when she stepped in the room with a dark red dress and a plate with two venison and soup and a bottle of wine.
"Well what happened with the girl Mirvanye, and the others?" she asked me with questionable look.
I sat down in a chair and with my hand i gestured her to sit as well. "Well after the week i trained her personally, she trained with the others still and now she is my second in command and those two recruits who betrayed her couldn't handle the training and quit and the wounded is now a royal guard for his loyalty to her and others he completed the training at the same time as her."
"That is good may i ask how do i get the respect of the legion and you." She asked after a few moments.
"The same way she got ours." I said and i saw her look with a confused face at me. "She didn't care if she got my respect or the others she cared only about the people who she served with, she didn't want their children get the same fate as her." Ramiana nodded and looked at the floor for a while. "What is wrong?" i ask her.
"It is nothing Thorein, but i do care about your respect for me." She said looking at the ground.
"Look me in the eye and ask it if it is so important to you." I said with a sly grin.
She looked me in the eye. "Do i have your respect?" she asked.
"Yes you have, you showed skill in that dungeon, and you cared for our safety even when you where angry with me for what i still don't know." I said looking at her face.
"I was angry because you didn't respect me and when you said you didn't want me i was just upset i guess." She stood up and walked towards me. "But i..." she sat down on my lap and threw her arms around my neck."I meant what i said."
"That is possible Ramiana but we can't i..." i started.
She hugged me closer. "Please Thorein just hold me, you gave me something to fight for."
I hugged her as well. "What have i given you? To fight for that is."
"Well you... and the red legion of course." She said before nestling in my neck.
"Ramiana you are a beautiful woman but i have someone at home that is why i can't be with you." I said.
"I understand sir, you are faithful and i admire that." She stood up. "Shall we eat now?"
"That will be fine." I took venison from the plate.
"I hope that you don't think of me different." she said while sipping her drink.
"Of course not anything happened." I my response was. "Besides it would if you did something."
She laughed shyly. "Yes well what will we do today?"
"Nothing as far as i know maybe we can walk around the plains until Aiden and Trandil comes back." I said while sipping my drink. "Or did you have something in mind?"
"No not really." She said. "But i am going to sell the loot from bleak falls barrow then i will return here." She stood up and walked towards the door.
"All right i will walk around Whiterun for a while and i will meet you here afterwards." I said while drinking the last bit of my wine. I walked into the town and looked around and stopped at a tree which was huge but quite dead.
"It is a shame isn't it?" a female priest asked me who sat at a bench in front of the tree.
"Aye indeed it is but still it has some allure to it." I respond. "Are you a priest?"
"Aye a priest of kynareth, my duties have changed since the war started." She said with a heavy sigh.
"Has the war affected you much priest?" i asked while sitting beside her on the bench.
"That it has we got a lot more wounded who need treatment, i better get back to work." She stood up. "May kynareth bless you?"
"May she bless you as well." I responded and remained at the tree for a while. I saw Calinwen approach me from the stairs. "Greetings friend." I stood up and shook her hand. "Going to see the person for that stone tablet?" i asked her.
"Yes i am will i see you in the evening in the bannered mare for your pay if i get a bonus or something?" she said with a smile.
I nodded. "Yes i think you will i still must wait for the other two men from my unit. Besides i have something to discuss with you but i shan't keep you for much longer have a good day." I shook her hand once more and she started to walk away. I started to walk towards the marketplace. This city has beauty to it, it is comfortable to live here i think the buildings look good the people are hard workers from what i can tell. I saw a merchant stall with some food and decided i want some apples. "Greetings how much for these apples?" i asked.
"Four septims per apple." The woman replied.
I counted several gold coins. "Then i will take five of those apples." I put the coins on the stall and she handed me the apples she looked troubled. "Is something the matter?" i asked her.
"That bard mikael, he is my problem saying he will conquer me like a nord conquers everything hmpf." She said. "No one seems to understand that the only love i have is for my daughter." I nodded and walked away towards the inn. I entered the inn and sat down at one of the tables. A redguard woman approached me. "Hey you want something to drink?" she asked me.
"Aye i would like some alto wine and two goblets thank you." I replied shortly. The woman left. Ramiana entered the inn. Ramiana looked around and i motioned her that i was sitting here she approached and sat down in one of the chairs.
"I have sold all the items i think we couldn't use and got a good amount of money." She said and i smiled in response. "Here half is yours by right." She handed me a bag of gold.
We sat there for an hour when the earth shook and we heard a loud voice yel. "DOVAHKIN‼!" i looked around and everyone in the inn started talking about a dragonborn and what it could mean. I looked towards Ramiana. "The dragonborn i a person who can by legends absorb a dragon soul and they say talos and the emperors where dragonborns also they say akatosh granted them the dragon blood which was why they are dragonborns." She explained to me, i scoffed at the notion.
"Talos these nords would say anything to prove his so called divinity." I sipped from my wine. "Besides why would Auri-el give such a power to a nord?"
"No clue but who says this dragonborn will be a nord it could be any race. Like some nords say the heroine of Cyrodiil was a nord but the imperial say it was an imperial." She says.
I scoffed again. "Well i know for certain the heroine was an altmer working for us." She looked around. "Don't worry that was two hundred years ago it is not like she is alive at this moment."
We sat a few hours there talking about the past and future when Calinwen walked in and strode towards us. "Greetings can i have a moment of your time please." She said
"Yes sure what is it that you need?" i asked her.
"In private if that is possible, i have a home her in Whiterun." She said. I nodded and she led the way towards her home. When we arrived she sat down at the dining table and i sat across her. "First of all here is your share of the payment." she handed me a bag of gold. "Second of all i can't return towards Cyrodiil because i am... the dragonborn." She said.
"O those nord would sure love this." i mocked the nords. "Well no problem i can send word towards the Cyrodillic embassy that you are hereby transferred to the red legion but that means you work for me if that is a problem then tell me now." I said after a thought. "But you can do whatever it is that you must do but when i say you must do something you do it and if you need my aid in something then you come to me."
"Understood and no i don't see a problem but where is your main base at the embassy or somewhere else?" she asked me.
"Somewhere else if you give me your map i will mark where my main base is." She handed me her map and i marked the location. "Meet me there in one week time if that is possible and i will induct you into the legion." i gave her map back. "Is there something else?"
"No nothing else." She said with a shake of her head. "But first i am going to the greybeards tomorrow and learn under them then i will head towards your main base."
I nodded in agreement. " tomorrow my men will hopefully have returned as well so i can leave this city behind, well it is time for me to get back towards the inn, have a good night."
"Where are you going to tomorrow if they come back?" she asked me.
"Towards riften we have business there with someone why?" i asked her.
"Well i need to go towards Ivarstead which is located in the rift so we can travel together for a while if you want to sir." She said with a smile.
"If they arrive on time i can't see why not, see you tomorrow then Calinwen. Blessings of Auri-el be with you." I said with a nod and started to walk towards the inn again. The dragonborn huh? Well Auri-el picked an altmer now. The inn was getting busier, a few off duty guards came to gossip about the dragonborn and many didn't believe it was an altmer some say these guards where on skooma why would akatosh pick a filthy thalmor bitch as a savior one men said. I laughed at the gossip these people talked. I went towards my room with Ramiana.
"Sir what is wrong?" Ramiana asked when she entered my room.
"Nothing my dear i just can't stand a non altmer crowd for too long." She looked at me shocked. "You are an exception Ramiana you're practically an altmer in my eyes a beauty one at that" i said with a wink.
"Sir i know you have someone at home but why do you flirt with me i can get the wrong ideas." She said with a blush.
"Aw look at that blush makes teasing you so damn good Rami, but i am sorry if you want me to stop then say it." I said with a small smile on my lips.
She pursed her lips. "No i... i just... i don't know i like it but i don't want to be some plaything for you."
"A plaything huh? I am sorry for giving you that idea but i like flirting and i seek nothing else." I said with a serious tone.
She looked up and said. "Well then i guess it is alright sir, o and after you walked away Aiden and Trandil returned."
"God let them get some sleep i will talk to them tomorrow and goodnight Rami." I said to her with a nod.
