After we arrived back, Lydia went to Klimmek to get payment for the delivery as Lucia and I went to get us rooms and some food. Lucia was tiredly walked beside me, holding my hand as we walked up to the inn.

"Back already," the keeper greeted us as we stepped up to the front desk, "Looks like you had a good trek up the steps."

"A workout to say the least," I nodded.

"Mama killed a troll," Lucia yawned, leaning against my leg.

"Sounds like you had quiet the adventure," he chuckled, "And nothings better after a day's adventure than a nice warm bed and a good meal."

"Yes please," both of us nodded back to him as I gave him payment for a room. Lucky us we got the last room, and it had two beds. We settled down as the barmaid brought us some food before we went to bed. Lydia slept in the other bed while Lucia and I shared the other.

We woke just after dawn the next morning to a small fruit breakfast as the keepers were sweeping and preparing for the day. While we ate our small breakfast Lydia and I looked over my map to plan out our next travel plan.

"Master Arngeir said the burrow is just outside of Morthal which is North of Whiterun," Lydia said pointing out the hold capital, "We'll pass through a few settlements but it's mostly swamp around there."

"Any idea how long the trek would take," I asked, cutting an apple in half and giving the other half to Lucia as she watched us.

"Half a day by carriage if we left from Whiterun," Lydia replied.

"So half a day from here to Whiterun then the other half there."

"Sounds long," Lucia moaned.

"It'd take longer to walk there," Lydia smirked.

I patted her back with a small smile, "Well it's good then that I'll want to leave Whiterun in the morning so we can arrive at Morthal before dark. Swamps usually aren't the most pleasant of places at night."

"But the carriage isn't coming back till tomorrow," Lucia pointed out.

I nodded back to her as I ate half of an apple.

"So what are we going to do till then?"

"Well I was thinking about exploring that burrow across the road."

"Really," Lydia asked.

"Yeah, I want to test out my abilities while we wait for our ride."

"Would be the best place to I guess," Lydia nodded taking a sip from her mug.

"I wouldn't go to the burrow if I were you," the keeper said in a fearful tone, "It's haunted."

"Haunted," I asked looking over at him with interest, "Really?"

"It is," he replied, "Saw the ghost with my own eyes. Staring right into my soul."

"Interesting, has it always been haunted," Lydia asked.

"Not that I can remember, but it really started up when a fella came looking for something. Haven't seen him for some time now."

"Very interesting," I looked to Lydia, "Well I'm more curious than ever now."

"I'm not scared of ghosts," Luciac confidently cheered. I gave a small chuckle at her, ruffling her hair, "That's my brave girl."

"Lead the way," Lydia nodded.

"Well don't say I didn't warn you," the keeper sighed at us, "And are you really going to take your daughter with you?"

"I'm not afraid of some stinky ghost," Lucia argued. I looked back at her with a smile but it quickly faded as I remembered all she had was a fur cloak, her dress and soft boots that had barely held up in the snow. Wasn't exactly a good outfit to go exploring ruins and facing possible traps in. And I hadn't had a chance to make her a dagger or short sword of her own.

"Maybe not," I scratched my chin.

Lucia looked back at me with pleading eyes, "Why can't I come? I'll be careful and be good and stay out of the way of any vilonce like with the bandits on the road."

"It's not that I don't think you could handle it baby girl it's more of I don't think your clothes could," I said moving to her side looking over her dress and shoes, "When we left Whiterun we hadn't really expected a lot, but seems the trek up the mountain did your shoes in."

Seams were coming undone on both her boots, the hem of her dress was worn and ripped in several places. There was a hole on her blouse from when she had tripped trying to shout.

"We'll have to be easy on the adventuring till we get back to the city," Lydia said, "Least to make your shoes go a bit longer."

"Don't suppose anyone here has any we can trade for or at least mend them," I asked the keeper. He shook his head, "Blast. Well then lets work out a deal."

"How so," the keeper asked.

"I'll investigate your haunted burrow and in return we get our next meals free."

"Deal," he nodded back and we shook on it. I looked back to Lucia, she was looking back at me with pleading eyes.

I gave a small smile at her, stroking her hair, "Here's the deal. You and Lydia stay here. I'll investigate and take care of any draugers or ghosts, then when I come back if you still want to explore it you can for a bit."

Lucia gave a small pout before sighing in defeat, "Alright, mama."

I smiled back at her, patting her shoulder, "That's my girl. I shouldn't be long. Be good for Lydia while I'm gone and stay within eye sight of an adult at all times."

"I will mama," she replied.

"I'll make sure to keep her entertained," Lydia chuckled.

"Good," I smiled back at her before finishing breakfast. Lydia and Lucia followed me to the burrow before I went inside, leaving the two on their own.

I explored the burrow taking on several drauger as I went, testing my Thum in combat. Force allowed me to make the draugers stumble back before using Whirl Wind Sprint to finish them off with a single swipe.

With each fight I became more comfortable with my new powers. My confidents for my final trial growing by the second. Deeper into the burrow I met the so called 'ghost' of the burrow, which turned out to be a Dunmer wizard who was using a special potion to appear spectral. He wasn't hard to defeat and I was pretty sure there wasn't much of his mind left as we fought. That was confirmed after I found his journal and the recipe for his special potion. I made note of exploring the rest of the burrow later on when I found the puzzle door, though without a claw it'd be difficult to get into but that could be worried over later on. Though I did move the Dunmer, Wyndelius Gatharian according to his journal, to an empty slab of the burrow and covered him with his bed mat.

"I'm no priest but I hope this will be enough of a descent burial for you," I said as I laid the mat over his body, "May you find peace in the afterlife."
