Farkas let out a small sigh as he sat by the fire, June and Vilkas had been away in that house for a long time now and he didn't want to know what they were doing. He was annoyed with them both though, annoyed that they left him out here alone with a bunch of strangers and Frea. She had passed by him several times sneaking peeks at him.
He let out another sigh as he got up from the ground and dusted the snow off of his pants. Farkas was tired of just sitting around, waiting for gods knows what. He made his way to the edge of the path that brought them here and looked out at the distance. He crossed his arms as he stood there thinking for a moment.
Farkas turned around looking back at the small village, there were a couple of people out doing what ever they could to calm their nerves. He saw Frea was talking to her father and had her back to him. Farkas turned back around and started leaving the village. He wasn't going to be gone long, he just wanted to look around. Maybe he would find something that would help them.
Vilkas and June were both laying in bed together, Vilkas had his arms around her while she laid on his chest. Her head was nudged under his jaw with her eyes closed. Vilkas ran his fingers up and down her back slowly. June let out a small sigh. "What is it?" Vilkas asked in a sweet whisper. June slowly opened her eyes and just laid there for a moment thinking. She slowly sat up and looked into Vilkas's eyes.
June slightly bit her bottom lip as she did some more thinking. Vilkas placed his hand on the side of her face. "What's on your mind?" He asked. "I'm just thinking about all of this." June answered quietly. "All of what?" He asked with a small smile. "Everything that's happening." June sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. She covered herself with the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed looking down at the floor.
Vilkas sat up leaning on his elbow looking at her a bit confused. "We know who Miraak is now and what he intends to do but that's all we know." June gripped the blanket. "We still don't know why the Thalmor are involved. We don't know how we are going to defeat Miraak or stop him, if we even can." June's voice had the sound of fear in it and Vilkas could sense it. He quickly sat up and wrapped his arms around her pulling her close to him. Vilkas bowed his head down and kissed her shoulder and up to her neck.
It was strange seeing fear on June's face. Since the day he met her fear was always the one thing she never showed. Seeing it now, in her eyes and feeling it inside her. It made Vilkas shiver but it also made him angry that this Miraak caused such things in his June. They were going to stop him and they were going to stop him together.
Farkas had been wondering around for an hour now in the woods that was just below the mountains. He had no luck in finding anything, he wasn't sure what he would since he knew so little about what was happening. In fact, he actually just wanted to get away from that depressing village. He moved branches out of the way as he walked through the trees.
He came across a few creatures he didn't recognize but he did find them fascinating. Morrowind was a strange and alien place to him, it was nothing like Skyrim. It was warmer here and he was already beginning to sweat.
Farkas walked a few miles through the woods till he came to a steep hill. He carefully made his way down and at the bottom of the hill was a road. "Huh.." He was a little surprised to see it. He looked down at the road and than looked over at the mountains. 'How far have I gone..' He wondered as he looked around some more. Farkas turned around and was about to head back but he heard something in the distance that stopped him.
He furrowed his eyebrows down and looked down the road, waiting. When the noise got closer he than realized what it was, was the sound of horses hooves walking on the brick road. Farkas bolted into the trees and hid in some bushes. He slightly peeked out of the bushes and saw it was a carriage. Driving the carriage were two Thalmor and the back of the carriage was covered with a thick sheet so that whatever laid inside it would be hidden.
Farkas furrowed his eyebrows down as he waited for them to pass. Once they did he walked out of the bushes and watched them going down the road. 'The Thalmor are here...Why?' Farkas's gut began to twist as he got a bad feeling from it all. With out wasting another second Farkas quickly hid into the trees and followed the carriage. 'Look's like I won't be back as soon as I thought I would..' Farkas made sure he was out of site.
Two days had gone by since Seradia started walking down the road. She still didn't know where she was going, she was just going. The sun was beginning to set in the sky and it was quickly growing dark around her. Luckily the jewel on the staff she carried glowed in the dark so her path wasn't completely dark.
A few miles later just down the road she saw a small village. 'Rorikstead.' She than knew where she was heading. Something was off though. As she got closer to the village she noticed several torches were lit and in the middle of the town. 'What's going on?' She hurried down the road and towards the town.
"And not one of you are allowed to leave this disgusting little village till we have this solved!" Seradia heard a voice yell and than she heard the citizens groan and complain. She furrowed her eyebrows down as she approached the crowd and moved through them. The crowd was surrounding several Thalmor agents. "What's going on?" Seradia asked loudly causing the crowd to grow quiet.
The leader of the squad quickly looked at her and examined her closely. "We suspect a Talos worshiper in this village and we will not leave till we find them and bring them to justice!" He explained. "You need this many soldiers for a search? You've brought an army!" Seradia shouted at him a bit. "How dare you question the Thalmor! You little unimportant piece of trash." He slowly walked towards her till they were face to face. "I don't need to explain anything to you. Now either follow my simple orders or face my wrath." He sneered at her.
Once he was finished everybody slowly turned and went into their own homes. Seradia glared at him for a moment and than turned going into the Inn. Following behind her was a young man about her age, he had blonde hair and was a Nord. "What gives them the right to do whatever they want?" He mumbled behind her. "Hush Eric, don't make things worse by asking questions like that. Just go on to your room." She heard another reply to him. She assumed he was his father by the way he spoke to him.
Seradia quickly took a seat at one of the tables and just sat there trying to think. She knew that the Thalmor did such searches but this many of them was strange and she had a bad feeling about it. Seradia remembered how there were Thalmor with the cultist's that attacked them after they rescued June. 'June..' Seradia frowned at the thought of her friend. June was in some other part of the world while Seradia was here..In Skyrim..Alone..
Her gut started to hurt as she realized how lonely she was and how scared she began to feel. Usually she had her friends help with these kind of things but now it was just her and she won't leave this town until she figures out what's going on. These Thalmor were up to no good and knew it by the feeling of her heart. She jumped at the front door quickly opening. She slightly looked up seeing a couple of the Thalmor soldiers walking inside.
They glanced at her for a second and than looked away uninterested in the small girl. Seradia clenched her jaw as she quickly looked down at the table. "Can I get you anything?" She jumped again from the voice that came out of no where. She quickly looked up seeing it was the Inn keeper and the an who was speaking to that young man. Seradia nodded and dug into her bag for some coin. "Here, I'll take a room for a few days." She handed him a large coin purse. "Alright than. Can I get you something to eat?" He asked. She quickly shook her head and he walked back to his counter.
Seradia tapped her tails on the table trying to come up with things to calm her nerves down but she couldn't think of anything. The feeling she was getting from here was worse than the feeling she got from Draugr's.
June finally got up out of the bed and dressed. Her and Vilkas both walked out of the house and looked around. "Where's Farkas?" He furrowed his eyebrows down. "I don't see him anywhere." June walked away. Vilkas quickly followed after her, they both walked to Frea. "Have you seen my brother?" Vilkas asked her. "No, I just thought he was with you two inside." Frea raised an eyebrow at him. Vilkas began to feel a little worried. "He probably just went for a walk or something, come on let's go speak to Scorn about tomorrow." June walked past Frea with Vilkas right behind her. He tried not to worry about his brother but it was hard. Farkas usually didn't go anywhere without him.
