A Letter Home

by Fendo

Throughout the quest to stop Alduin, and even before, the group has to do something to keep themselves together in such desperate times. This includes, often, writing home to the ones they left behind. Mean that what it may. A series of letters from the Dovahkiin and her group of travelers to their loved ones, mainly from Naelin (Dovahkiin).

Dear Filgan,

As I'm sure you've guessed by now, I'm alive! You can get some actual sleep now, I hope.

Sorry for worrying you like that, and since I know it'll be a bit until you get this, sorry for making you wait so long to hear from me. I'm sure you were worried to tears, and I can't say I didn't expect that or that I blame you. But I'm okay. A little scuffed up, but still breathing, so I think that's a victory.

Now, there are a few real important things I got to tell you. not that there haven't been in my last couple letters, but whatever. First, we were wrong about the Thalmor, we think. I personally don't know a whole ton about them, so I can't say 100% either way. Whether or not they're involved, the biggest player in the dragons returning is Alduin - big shock there. The three of us saw him resurrecting one when we got to Kynesgrove. Dragon/God magic is insanely powerful, as it turns out. So, that answers that.

Second, the Blade is willing to work with me now, since she saw me absorb a dragon soul firsthand. It's weird, thinking that's happened (again)... feels really odd, kinda draining, and strangely empowering. It is a dragon soul, I mean. Big stuff.

Third, remember that asshole dunmer I mentioned? Guess who we ran into on the way. Name's Drelas, kind of a grump and pretty rough around the edges. But, he helped us defeat the dragon - turns out he's a pretty strong battle Mage - and so I have yet another traveling companion now. Not sure how long he'll actually stick around (he seems the lone wolf type), but he rushed to help when he thought we were gonna die. I guess he's not that bad.

We're heading back to Riverwood now to discuss more with the Blade, should be there in a day or so. Other than the whole dragon thing, not much else. Just wanted to let you know I was safe. I can keep my promises, see?

Naelin.
