The story itself is almost over, but I am not done yet. Reviews are needed, please! A few more chapters to go. By the way, the fun chapter will be happening soon, maybe the next chapter, maybe if I feel like it. :)
Chapter 10:
The trip back to the Tomb of Ysgramor was a very long and tiresome journey, but I arrived there without a scratch on me. Loranna, she arrived an hour or two after me. We both proceeded into the main chamber, the room where Ysgramor himself is entombed.
"Are you ready, Vilkas?" She asked me, calm and seriously.
"Yes, my soul is prepared." I answered her. She dug around in her pack for a minute and pulled out the bloodied head of a Glenmoril Witch and she threw it into the blue flames.
The feeling I felt after that was confusing and painful. It felt like my soul was being torn in half, but at the same time, I felt whole... almost normal. Next thing I knew, this wolf-like spirit formed on the ground, much larger than any normal wolf. It must be my wolf-soul! Just when I thought that the ceremony, if I can call it that, was over, the wolf got up from the ground and began to attack me.
The bites I received from the wolf were quick and painful. Obviously it felt betrayed, since I was trying to get rid of it. Its eyes were full if fury and a hint of sadness. The battle lasted for a few minutes, the wolf was quite fierce to the end... much like I am in a battle. But it eventually fell. I sighed a breath of relief.
"How do you feel?" She asked me, staring at me like I am some sort of mutant now.
"I feel... normal. Like a true warrior should. I can't smell your heart beating like I used to." I smiled at her, being completely honest in how I felt.
She nods and smiled at me. "Are you ready to head back?" She asked me.
"Not quite yet. I wish to spend time communing with Ysgramor, since I didn't last time. I wish to apologize." I said, broodingly.
She nodded again. I tried to commune, I honestly did, but my every thought was drawn to her. I couldn't force myself into thinking of anything else, my mind was to stubborn to listen this time. I stood up and went up to her. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor, she looked up at me.
"What's the matter, Vilkas?" She asked concerned. I didn't answer, I pulled her back onto her feet, she squealed as she was pulled to her feet.
"What! Vilkas!?" She yelled out but was cut off as I claimed her mouth in a passionate kiss, full of tongue and teeth. She was startled for a few seconds but she recovered and began to kiss back, matching my ferocity.
The passion grew quickly and I started to feel a tension forming in my lower abdomen. We were still kissing and she was pawing me all over, stroking my chest, feeling my hair, and she began to moan slightly into the kiss. But then the most unexpected thing happened!
She pushed me away!
"Vilkas, we can't... I can't" She breathed out.
"Why not? No one is here!" I choked out at her
"Vilkas! We've just met, and besides, we're not married!"
I let go of her quickly, she did have a good point. My face morphed into an expression of remorse.
"I-I am so sorry... I don't know what came over me... I sh-shouldn't have acted on my desires like I did, will you forgive me?" I apologized as sincerely as I possibly could manage.
"It's alright, Vilkas. I think we should just take things a bit slower, alright? It doesn't mean that I don't love you." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
I pulled her into a quick hug, "I'm so sorry, Loranna, I truly am."
"I know that you are, I'm not angry with you, just startled. You're fine. We just need to slow down, get to know each other before we move into more intimate things." She caressed my cheek as she spoke, moving a strand of stray hair from my face. "Now, let's head back and tell the others of our success here. Okay?"
I nodded and we headed back to Whiterun, Back To Jorrvaskr.
I am so so sorry for not updating this, I've been sick. Please don't hate me! I hope this chapter was alright, is Vilkas too soft? Did he give into his emotions too quickly? Let me know so I can fix it if needed. :)
