"So... let me get this straight. You went to Sheogorath's plane of oblivion, spoke to him and found out he is your father...?" Said Leah as she raised a brow.

"I know right! It is so damn weird!" Exclaimed Benjen as she smiled and her eyes went golden, her pupils slit in a second and suddenly she looked like a completely different person.

"Huh, well that explains your eyes. I always thought you were half khajiit or something." Said Leah as she chuckled.

"Yeah, because I'm covered in hair and I have claws." Said Benjen sarcastically.

Leah rolled her eyes and grinned.

"You don't need to be an ass about it, you know?" Said Leah.

"I do what I want, my love." Said Ben smugly as she took a sip of her ale.

"Of course you do."

Benjen took another sip of her ale and stared at her lover. She loved those days, were they spent their afternoons at the bannered mare, drinking and talking.

Leah suddenly stood up from her stool.

"I'm gonna go and get a bounty. Wanna come and help me kill whatever they ask me to kill?" She asked to her lover.

Benjen grinned.

"Are you seriously asking me if I wanna go kill assholes? Of course I'm coming!" She stood up with a little jump and smiled.

Leah chuckled.

"Then let's go, before someone else takes it." She said as she approached the door.

"There are too many fucking bandits!" Exclaimed Benjen as she stabbed one of them in the chest.

"I never said it was gonna be easy!" Yelled Leah as she shot one of them with an arrow.

They were in a bandit camp near Whiterun, known as halted stream camp. And Leah, who was definitely braver than the other city guards, accepted the bounty to go and clear it up in exchange of a significant amount of gold.

A bandit ran towards Benjen with a mace in his hand, he threw a slash in her direction but she rolled away skillfully, kicked him to the ground and plunged one of her swords deep into his neck.

"Maybe not easy, but not impossible!" Exclaimed the daughter of the Madgod.

Leah sheathed her bow and took out her sword and shield, beating the sword a couple of times against the metallic center of the shield, taunting the bandits.

"Come here you skeevers! Show me what you got!" She taunted with a big smile on her face.

"Who's next!?" Yelled Benjen to the remaining bandits that hid behind their wooden walls.

Leah approached Benjen.

"We won't get the money if we don't kill them all, we need to find a way to enter." She said softly so that the bandits wouldn't hear her.

"Let's fucking charge at the doors and get this over with." Said Benjen.

Leah stared at the wooden walls, and at the bandits, she hesitated.

"We will die before we even have a chance to get near the gates. It is useless, I think we have to go back." Said Leah.

"I ain't going back, we came here to kill them, and killing them is what we are going to do." Said Benjen as she turned around and faced the bandits, before starting to walk towards the gate.

Leah went behind her and placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her.

"Forget it, let's go home, love." Said Leah.

It was Benjen's turn to hesitate.

"... okay, whatever. They aren't even paying us enough for this job." Said Benjen.

"Exactly, let's go." Said Leah.

They turned around and started walking away, Benjen glanced back one last time, they were yelling all types of stuff to them. Taunting them, cursing them. She turned around once more and tried to ignore them.

She didn't see the man holding a bow in his hands, aiming an arrow in their direction.

Leah turned around and saw him.

"BEN!" She yelled and pushed her lover away.

Benjen fell to the cold, wet grass. She heard the whistle of an arrow and the thump of a body.

She turned around and saw her.

Her lover Leah... on the floor, bleeding from an arrow stuck in her stomach. The woman's blue eyes pierced her silver ones, and Benjen felt how her whole world crumbled and shattered around her.

She ran towards her lover and held her in her arms. The nord's eyes were filled with terror and pain.

"Leah no, no, no! You are gonna be ok! We just- we just gotta go back to whiterun and they'll patch you up." Said Benjen.

Leah moved her mouth, but no sound, except soft groans, came out of her mouth. She placed a hand on her silver amulet and took it off. With a bloody hand she offered it to her lover.

"No, no- don't do that, you are not gonna die, are you hearing me? You are not gonna die!" She exclaimed.

She stared at the arrow with horror and panic, she didn't know what to do and her mind was clouded with fear.

She removed the arrow carefully and placed her hands on the wound, applying pressure.

"You ain't going out like this. You said it yourself. We were gonna get married, have children, grow old together..." said Benjen softly as tears poured out of her eyes.

Leah placed a hand on Benjen's cheek and stared at her. She didn't say a single word, but her expression said more than a thousand words.

Seconds later her eyes gazed into the horizon, her hand fell to the floor, and suddenly... Leah Bjornson was no more.

Benjen Yelled and cried at her side for a couple of seconds.

How could she go on now? Without Leah? The only person who made her feel whole, after all she'd been through, she thought the world was finally smiling at her. But now, her lover was taken away from her, and all thanks to...

The bandits.

She felt blind rage overwhelm her.

Her eyes went golden, but they didn't look bright and beautiful, instead they were darkened with rage.

She stared at the bandits hiding and staring at her, why didn't they shoot again? Were they trying to send a message?

Either way, that was their last mistake.

That day, Benjen Sheothson discovered the other side of Madness. The psychopatic side of herself that she couldn't control, her desire of blood fueled by revenge.

That day, Benjen Sheothson lost her soulmate.

But she discovered Dementia.
