Tales of the Dark One's: Chapter 3
Well he can handle himself.
I'm glad that the one in thousands of guys to get me out wasn't shall I say… a douchebag. He had a sense of humor, can fight and I felt like I could trust him although there was something he wouldn't tell me. Not that I asked I just sense that a man concealing his face does it for a reason.
"Alright, here's my ride where are we headed?" His voice jolted me out my train of thought. Even more surprising I found a huge black wolf about the size of three horses and with the strength of ten.
"Malacaths Dick" I exclaimed.
"Language dipshit." He stated.
"Actually were where going is north west of solitude. Plus where did you get that?" I was so eager to know more about this amazing creature, animals fascinated me from a young age.
"Long story. Hop on back and we'll be off." He also knew how to treat someone; it was more of a question than an order.
Although, I crept up behind the wolf to get on its back it heard me and turned around and mauled me to death. With licks.
"Sorry, he's just saying hello he does that to everybody." He apologized.
I hauled myself up and so did Kiaramon but he was facing backwards at me.
"Serana you said you wanted to sit down and talk like you had stuff on your mind well now's the time unless you're still uncomfortable and that's alright." He now just proved to be very thoughtful, quite the man but there is always something wrong.
"Yeah I need to get some stuff off my chest so I'll go first" he listened very intently to me as I droned on about my childhood, my emotions and my vampirism.
"Really Molag Bal! I kind of feel sorry for you, about the ritual and all because I know it was..." Kiaramon tried to muster up the right words and I understand it wasn't a wholesome family event.
"…Degrading, can we not talk about it I just want to forget."
"That's probably for the best, I enjoyed talking to you."
"I have to say I spared a lot of details all the stuff about my family why I was hidden and what they are like but you'll find out soon. I guess it's your turn." I was relieved that he could talk it gave me time to listen.
"Well where do I start. When I was 16 I got bitten by a rabid vampire and instinctively bit back giving him the bad vampire blood and keeping all the good stuff for myself. I was invincible, near enough, having all the strengths of vampirism and none of the weaknesses. The surge of power through my veins made me fall into a coma so my parents gave me too… sorry I can't tell you that if you knew…" He trailed off at the last part leaving it imprinted on my mind.
"Doesn't matter, after many years of physical and mental training I was quite the warrior and that led to my becoming a vigilante. The people don't want me helping others, I was a weapon that belonged to them and me leaving made me a target. They still-hunt me to this day after centuries. I joined the companions years later and they are still great friends but the only one I know, as family is toldfir. I was dying after the others stabbed me in my heart the only place that can be hurt in my body. He took me in and healed me, teached me and raised me up like a son. Funny, I was 295 years old yet I still got an upbringing; he's the only one I can love in this world. He's immortal too, actually he is ancient a dragon in a mans body at the college of winterhold. That led to more adventures and this big guy. You know of the great wolf of morthal?" He did not bore me as his stories were interesting and he didn't drone on throughout it.
"Of course I love the tale." It was one of my favorites as a child.
"Well the great beast had cubs with another wolf as large as him so this was the outcast. The rest were silver and was pure black they ignored him but I took him in we can relate being not being accepted by people. This is Ralph." Kiaramon introduced his wolf and patted him on the head and with that the wolf lady down.
" That's us. The lazy bugger isn't getting up until morning so I say we camp out for the night."
He set up a tent for me and he lay down next to his huge lazy dog.
"G'night Johnboy."
