I know that the story is a little slow moving right now, but I promise you, it will get more exciting in later chapters. Reviews are always appreciated and welcomed! If you guys have any ideas for later chapters, let me know, but I do have a good portion of the story already written I just need to get it copied down.
Chapter Four:
While she was gone, I went along with my daily schedule. I trained, I did a job, and had time to just sit and drink and to talk with the other Companions. It was late that evening when Loranna returned, I was told to go stand outside at the front doors to await her return and she came, tired, sweating and covered in blood.
"I've been waiting for you to return. Come, follow me to the back," I told her, Farkas went on ahead and joined the rest of the Circle. Loranna stood in front of all of us. Kodlak began the ceremony.
"We stand here today to bear witness to the courage of the soul before us. Are there any of you who would vouch for her?"
Farkas spoke up, "I bear witness to the bravery of the soul before us."
"Does your sword swing for her?" Kodlak continued.
"It stands ready to meet the blood of her foes."
"Would you be her Shield-Brother?"
"I would stand at her back so that the world may not overtake us."
"Would you toast in her name?"
"I would lead the song of valor as our mead hall revels in her victories."
"Then the judgement of this Circle is complete.
Then every one, except Loranna said, "It shall be so."
Everyone began to go back to what they were doing. Except Loranna and Kodlak, they were talking until she walked up to me.
"Hey, do you have any jobs that I can do?"
"Yes, we've received a desperate cry for help from Riverwood, it seems Sven has been kidnapped and taken to Lost Knife Hideout. Find him and return him home. There's some gold in it for you when you come back, good luck."
"Vilkas?"
"What?"
"How come you're all of the sudden nice to me?"
"Because Kodlak trusts in you and your abilities and I trust him. And so far, you're doing well." Is it really that though? Yes it is, it has to be, she's an annoying whelp who wouldn't help the others fight that giant. But my heart feels something else, but what though? I cannot figure that out.
"Thank you, Vilkas, you know, you and I, we should travel together sometime, and you'd really see what I can do."
"Ha! More of me fighting and you'll be cowering behind me!"
"One of these days you'll see!" And she walked away.
"Oh, Loranna?"
"Yes, Vilkas?"
"Be careful out there!"
"Kay!" Then she was gone.
Again back to the daily grind, but instead of training by myself I trained with Farkas, just to get him to stop complaining about needing to train more. Our session lasted for maybe an hour and a half. Until Skjor walked up to us.
"Hey you two!"
"Hi, Skjor," we both said.
"When the new blood shows up, tell her that I need to see her, its important."
"Sure," I said.
"Okay," answered Farkas.
"Thanks guys." Skjor left.
"Wonder what that was about?" Asked Farkas.
"Maybe he's going to get rid of her." I answered.
"Why do you hate her?"
"I don't hate her, she just has to prove herself to me still." I looked at the sky. "Besides, we don't need any outsiders, she could be a Silver Hand spy."
"Come on, Vilk, she's new, she'll do great in no time, and I highly doubt she's one of them, she's too nice to us. Just give her a chance"
"Fine."
"You never know, you might make a new friend."
"Maybe"
"Well, brother, I'm off to bed, night!"
"Good night, Farkas."
I have a question for you readers. Should I write a VilkasXreader story? Let me know what you think, your imput is valuable to me.
