The time for Seradia to take her leave had finally come. Before she left Iraka had given her a unique staff. It's shaft was gold and the tip of it was shaped into a serpent that held a clear crystal. Seradia could feel power coming from it but she did not know what kind of power it was. The staff was not the only thing that Iraka gave her. She also gave her some kind of warning, or maybe it was advice. Seradia couldn't tell.

"Be warned girl. The path you and your friends are on is a long one and what you may think is the end just may be the very beginning." Seradia got chills just by thinking about it. Not only did she get chills from it but she also felt a little weird from it. How did she know her friends and her were on the same path? Was this woman just crazy or was she actually the sane one. Thinking about it made Seradia's head hurt.

Seradia was on her way to back to Whiterun. She figured that if her friends went anywhere it would be there, at least she hoped. She was aching to see them again and to let them know she was okay. 'Would they know?' Seradia clenched her jaw as she thought about them. As she walked down the road she could see Dragon's Reach in the distance, the tall building was always hard to miss. Seeing that Whiterun was finally in site she could hardly wait to get back. She would jog if she was able too but even when she walks too fast she can hardly catch her breath, she was better but still weak.

It took Seradia about an hour to reach Whiterun and once she did she felt relieved. She felt like it was taking her forever to return and entering the city made her feel warm and happy. The thought of seeing her friends made her happier. As she walked through Whiterun she noticed a few citizens were glancing at her and giving her strange looks, Seradia just ignored it and continued making her way to Jorrvaskr. The sun was high in the sky with a warm breeze blowing lightly on her face.

She hurried up the steps and made her way around the building. She surprised when she saw that no one was outside considering it was only the afternoon. Seradia slowly entered the building. Everybody that was in the room turned and looked, once they did their faces went pale. It was not what she expected to happen, she looked at them all confused. Everybody just stayed in their places staring at Seradia in complete silence, Seradia clenched her jaw as she still did not understand.

Aela suddenly stood up out of her chair making it push back fast, Seradia jumped and looked at her. Aela approached her, carefully examining her. "S-Sera?" For a moment it seemed like Aela didn't believe it was really her. "Y-Yes?" Seradia watched her even more confused. "You're..You're alive.." Aela examined her more. "Yes?" Seradia furrowed her eyebrows down at her. "What? Did you all think I was dead?" At first Seradia was joking but when she saw that no one even made a smirk she realized that they really did.

"O-Of course I'm alive." Seradia quickly looked back at Aela. "But...From what we heard.." Aela was still in shock, as was everybody else. "Wait..If you guys think I'm dead than..The others?" She was referring to June and the brothers. Aela clenched her jaw and slightly looked down. "You should go speak to the old man, he's in his room." Aela nudged her head towards the stairs. Seradia nodded and quickly made her way towards them, she took one last look at everybody and than disappeared as she walked down the stairs.

The thought of her friends thinking she was dead made her heart ache. It had been over a month since her accident, remembering her accident made it less harder to believe that they thought she was dead. If anyone else found her they probably would of berried her, not healed her. Seradia quickly walked down the hallway and stopped at Kodlak's room. His door was shut. She raised her arm to knock on the door, she hesitated for a moment and than quietly knocked. "Come on it." She heard Kodlak's voice.

Seradia swallowed hard and slowly walked into his room. Kodlak's face quickly dropped once he saw who it was. He stood up so fast that he knocked over a pitched of water but he didn't even bother to try and clean it up. "You're alive.." He spoke amazed. Seradia gave him a small smile. "We..We had a funeral for you.." Kodlak was wrapping his head around it. Seradia slightly tilted her head as she furrowed her eyebrows down. "Did they really just assume I died so quickly?" Seradia almost sounded hurt.

Kodlak quickly shook his head. "No, no. Even at the funeral June was convinced that you were still alive, looks like she was right." A small smile appeared on his face. "Don't get me wrong, I'm glad that she was right. Here come sit." He quickly cleaned up his mess and took a seat in his chair. Seradia sat down in the other chair and looked back at him. He was still staring at her still amazed. "From what we heard.." He cut himself off as he tried thinking of a better way to say it. "How..How did you?" He leaned forward.

"It's..A long story.." Seradia let out a silent chuckle as she looked down at the ground. "A..crazy story.." Seradia started to fiddle with her ties on her robes. Iraka patched up her robes and cleaned them up, it made her glad that she did because Seradia very much liked these robes. "Well whatever it may be..It's good to see that you're okay." Kodlak gave her a warm smile. Seradia nodded as she kept slightly looking down.

She thought for a moment and than looked back at him. "Is June and the twins here?" Seradia asked. Kodlak's smile quickly faded as soon as she asked, Seradia looked at him confused. "I'm afraid they're not here." Kodlak leaned back in his chair. "Well..Where are they?" Seradia slowly asked. Kodlak took a moment before he spoke. "They went after the people that attacked you." He explained. "They did?" She furrowed her eyebrows down again.

Kodlak nodded. "Do they even know who they are?" Seradia asked. "No, I imagine that's why they went to find them." Kodlak grabbed his cup and took a drink from it. "Where did they go?" Seradia was getting anxious. Kodlak was reluctant to tell her, considering she was back but he could smell the wounds on her. Though they were healing they were still fresh. "Tell me." Seradia clenched her fists. "Morrowind, they took a boat from Windhelm." Seradia quickly stood up and was about to leave but Kodlak got up and stopped her. "Wait." He grabbed her arm. "Now hold on girl." Kodlak turned her around to face him. "I need to go find them, they might need my help!" Seradia quickly explained.

"They'll be just fine, you just got back and I know you're still hurt." He grabbed her shoulders. "Please, just take a minute." Kodlak tried to calm her down but it wasn't working. She quickly shrugged his hands off of her and shook her head. "No, I can't let them think that I'm.." She swallowed hard as Farkas popped up into her mind. "They will be back." Kodlak kept trying but it was useless. "No, I must go. I'm sorry." Seradia quickly backed away and than left the room. She hurried through the hall and than hurried up the stairs.

Once she entered the room a lot of the Companions tried talking to her but she just waved them off and left the building. She tried running through town but breathing hard made her lungs hurt, almost like she had glass in them. Once she left the city she made her way to the stables and to the carriage. Before speaking she had to catch her breath, the carriage driver watched her a bit confused.

"Need a ride?" He asked. Seradia nodded as she continued to catch her breath, it was hard for her. "I..I need.." She breathed deeply as she stood up straight. "I need to go to.." She slowly trailed off her sentence as she got a strange feeling. She couldn't explain it but..It was as if something was telling her to stay. She had a feeling that she was needed here more than she was there. Seradia tried to speak more but she couldn't get the words out. She slightly looked down as she tried thinking. "N-never mind.." She slowly turned away from the carriage and walked away.

She wasn't going to return to Jorrvaskr, she was just..going. Walking down the road, she wasn't sure where she was going. She just had the feeling to keep going.

Farkas let out a soft sigh as he watched the flames of the fire dance around each other wildey. They arrived at the Frea's village a day ago and June still hadn't woken up. The man who was in charge of the village had barely spoken with them. He wanted to speak to June only, especially when they told him she was Dragonborn. He was Frea's father and his name is Storn Crag-Strider. It was cold up in he moutains but Farkas could deal with it. The Nords here were very different than the ones back in Skyrim.

It wasn't just their voices and it wasn't their looks. It was the feeling they got from them. The feeling was an old feeling, nothing familiar, just..Literally old. As if the Skaal peoples have been around for years and years. But that wasn't the main thing on his mind, the main thing..person on his mind was Seradia. Though it had been over a month she never left his mind. When he would close his eyes he would go back to the moment when their lips almost touched. Oh how he regretted never telling her how he felt.

Farkas slowly pulled out the emerald necklace from his pocket and examined it. He rubbed his thumb over the jewel and for a moment he thought he saw her face inside it. "Who is that for?" Farkas jumped at Frea's voice suddenly coming from behind him. He quickly put the necklace back in its place and cleared his throat. "No one." He answered keeping his eyes away from her. "Oh.." Frea felt a bit awkward now. Farkas had caught her eye and he knew it. It disturbed him but it wasn't her fault, she didn't know anything.

Frea opened her mouth to speak more but before she could Farkas got up from the ground and walked away from her. "I'm gonna go see Vilkas." He didn't even look at her. Frea quickly walked back to her home feeling a little embarrassed. Vilkas was standing on one of the ledges looking out at everything. "Hey." Farkas walked up to him and stood next to him. "Hey." Vilkas replied. "How's it going?" Farkas let out a small sigh. "Fine?" Vilkas looked at his brother with an eyebrow cocked up. "Is everything good with you?" Vilkas asked.

"Yea, you were just the only excuse I could think of to get away from Frea." Farkas crossed his arms. "She does seem interested in you doesn't she?" Vilkas chuckled. "You should-" Farkas quickly cut him off. "Don't." He frowned. "I was just-" Farkas looked at him making Vilkas stop. "Don't." Farkas glared at him and than walked away. Vilkas watched him and than turned back around. Farkas knew his brother was just joking but still..It felt too soon. Seradia was the only girl he ever loved, he didn't think he would find another like her.

Vilkas took in a deep breath of the fresh mountain air, he jumped at the sound of a door slamming open. He turned around and saw that it was June, she was finally up. "June." He quickly walked to her. "Where are we?" June quickly asked. "We are at Frea's village, are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine." June slightly pushed him away as he tried to hug her. It was cold but she didn't mean it to be, so much was happening and she couldn't waste time. "You're finally awake." Storn stood up from the ground and walked over.

June walked past Vilkas and walked to him. "Who are you?" She asked. "I am Storn, the leader of the Skaal." He answered. "You and I have much to speak of." Storn nudged his head to his home. June nodded and followed him, they both entered his home and closed the door. Vilkas furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the closed door, as if he was expecting something to happen.
