Ulrich362: It's been quite a long time since we've worked on this one... and it's about time we see how someone else reacts to the Tamirel Unification Front right?
bopdog111: Yeah, a certain Argonian. And he'll be the same one that we seen from another Skyrim fic.
Ulrich362: Interesting let's see what happens with him.

SHOOT!
A troll yelled as it was shot at the throat with an arrow when it was about to attack a steel armored brown haired woman before someone walked showing it's a lizard man wearing leather armor reaching, and pulling the arrow out, and trimmed some of it's fat. Once done he turned, and offered a hand to the woman. "You alright Lydia?"
"Yes, thank you my Thane." the woman nodded. "I let my guard down, my apologies."
"No worries." the lizard man helps her up when he takes her hand.
"If she is your Housecarl she should be more on guard Dragonborn." a blonde haired woman in her 40s spoke as she walked passed them wearing some armor, and a katana which made him frown.
What's happening here is that the Dragonborn is named Jin-Noyei previously named Ffamran Karane. He was previously a soldier for the Imperial Cyrodillic Empire but had forsaken that life for reasons that happened that made him hate, and loathe the Empire, alongside hating the empire with a strong passion. Now he's but a simple man who hunts, and kill Thalmor agents whenever he comes across them in hopes of finding the one who murdered his family. Right now though he has important business over which is what there doing now.
The two woman Lydia, and Delphine the blonde one are allies of his. Lydia she is his Housecarl someone who dedicates there life to protect her Thane who is Jin with her life, and face death if needed. She stays close to him ever since she was assigned to him, and from the occasional stumble or something like that as this was her first official time being a fighter for a Thane like him she is trying, and while having potential struggles often.
Delphine meanwhile is a Grandmaster of a disbanded organization called the Blades who had been in hiding ever since the Great War 3 decades ago after they were almost destroyed in the battle against the Thalmor. Now with the dragons, she figured to have the Dragonborn AKA Jin, a Dragonslayer considered the greatest to destroy Dragons, to do his sacred duty at eliminating the dragons but she needs proof if he's the real deal. So cross-referencing a map she acquired she brought him for a test at Kynesgrove to see if he's really who he said he is after he saved Whiterun from a dragon, and took it's power. He brought Lydia with him after he asked her to come sometime when he afforded a house called Breezehome to settle in Whiterun with the money he made for searching for Words of Power.
There on there way to Kynesgrove, and the road is treacherous such as that troll they encountered.
"Give her a break Delphine, she never be on a real mission before outside of Whiterun." Jin stated over towards her which she only scoffed crossing her arms muttering that Lydia's a 'little girl' which Jin shook his head. "Honestly..." He then turned to Lydia. "Delphine doesn't know what she's talking about Lydia. Jarl Balgruuf chosen you for this so he believes you do have what it takes."
"I know, and I won't make the same mistake again." Lydia nodded before taking a breath. "Still, I admit to being somewhat anxious to confront a dragon, I know you've slain one before but still..."
"I didn't slay just 1. The Greybeards had told me that my power can only grow if I can slay more with gaining the Words of Power." Jin said as they walked together on the path to Kynesgrove. "I managed to find, and killed several on my travels before making my way to Delphine. Better as well prepare, and try to get my power as strong as it can be before then."
"Assuming you actually are Dragonborn." Delphine pointed out with a frown. "We'll find out soon enough, Kynesgrove is just up ahead."
While walking there passing by some mercenaries deep in discussion.
"I don't know I might probably head to Markarth."
"There housing Werewolves, and Vampires, word on the street also said the Dark Brotherhood is getting involved with them too."
"But had you heard? A letter reached out where the Jarl of Whiterun doesn't seem to think there that bad. There's even talk of a Septim in charge of the place after the Forsworn overthrew Jarl Thongvor."
"What? The Septims had been dead for years."
"I know that. But still we need the Septim Emperors at this age."
"Huh, what are you talking about?" Delphine questioned looking over to the passing mercenaries. "What's going on in Markarth?"
The mercenaries turned over hearing that. "Haven't you heard? A new empire with the Forsworn, and whatever's left of Markarth had been formed days ago. Apparently a Septim brought them together, and are leading ahead to destroy the Thalmor."
Jin paused hearing that. "Destroy the Thalmor? This empire, you said it's in Markarth?"
"Aye. They even repelled a retaliating Imperial Attack." one of the mercenaries spoken over to agree. "300 troops all taken down with a simple tactic. Scary..."
"But there housing criminals, and abominations." the second one spoken over with crossed arms. "I feel like we shouldn't trust them if there that welcoming to them even if Jarl Balgruuf tried to negotiate peace with them with the old Nord ways."
Hearing that Jin frowned. "Lydia, after we deal with the dragon, we should head to Markarth."
"Are you sure my Thane?" Lydia asked him if he's sure as from what it sounded like this Empire is dangerous.
"I am." he nodded.
"Well good luck Argonian. Tried not to be a new hide." a mercenary spoke before they turned to continue there way.
"Whatever..." Rather then being interested, Delphine just looks more annoyed over at not getting information on this new 'Septim'. "Let's continue to Kynesgrove."
Jin and Lydia nodded as they saw someone running towards them clearly afraid.
"Huh, what's wrong are you alright?" Delphine asked her.
"No, you don't want to go up there! A dragon... it's attacking!" she warned fearfully.
"Where is this dragon?"
"It flew over town and landed on the old dragon burial mound." the woman answered pointing over where it is to Jin before shaking her head saying fearfully, "I don't know what it's doing up there, but I'm not waiting around to find out!" She ran out in fear at that.
Jin frowned. "We should be careful... these things can be extremely dangerous."
"Then maybe your little follower should stay behind so she doesn't get in the way again." Delphine mentioned glaring at Lydia. "This won't be as simple as fighting off a troll."
Lydia flinched over before Jin glared over to Delphine. "She needs the experience Delphine. Whiterun doesn't have much people who fought a dragon, and Lydia can help them once she gets to know how. So unless you want to call this off she is staying with us."
"Fine, but keep your wits about you." Delphine told Lydia as they approached the hill only to see a black dragon looking at the burial mound.
"Sahloknir! Ziil gro dovah ulse!" It then charged a shout calling, "SLEN TIID VO!"
Energy gathered at the mound before something burst out roaring showing a dragon skeleton while flesh, and scales started to form around the bones regenerating all the way to normal showing itself as a dark blue scaled dragon with black spikes on it's back.
"Holy fuck..." Jin looked shocked now seeing the reason how the dragons are returning, they are being revived by other dragon.
"Alduin, thuri! Boaan tiid vokriiha suleyksejun kruziik?" the revived dragon asked the dragon above looking up.
"Geh, Sahloknir, kaali mir." the dragon known as Alduin nodded confirming before he suddenly turned over towards the group. "Ful, losei Dovahkiin?" The three armed themselves before Alduin looked over towards Jin. "Zu'u koraav nid nol dov do hi." He grunted over readying over for a battle. "You do not even know our tongue, do you?"Alduin sneered over at him. "Such arrogance, to dare take for yourself the name of Dovah."
Jin only frowned drawing his bow as Delphine and Lydia drew their respective swords, the katana for Delphine and a steel longsword for Lydia.
Seeing this Alduin turned over to Sahloknir who looked over to him. "Sahloknir, krii daar joorre." Sahloknir nodded before turning his attention stomping over as Alduin flew off.
"I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair!" Sahloknir charged a dragon shot over at them. "YOL TOR SHUL!" He fired a flaming blast at them.
"Get down!" Jin yelled at the woman as he grabs Lydia to move while Delphine quickly rolls opposite to avoid the the attack.
Sahloknir flapped his wings and took to the sky before flying off only to turn and breath fire at them again. They moved over growling over before saying to Lydia handing his bow, and arrows. "Here. When he stops to attack in the air try shooting him. And as soon as he lands we all charge in. Remember you trained for this, remember what you learned."
"Of course, I won't miss my Thane." Lydia nodded taking the bow and placing an arrow ready to take aim at a moment's notice.
Jin ran in drawing a sword as Sahloknir readied over another fire blast which Jin closed his eyes before shouting over. "FUS RO DA!" A charged wave of power struck Sahloknir in the air which made him stumble in a bit but caught himself in the air moving before flying above him glaring down.
"Your voice is strong... for a mortal."
"I'd take that as a compliment." Jin glared back towards him. "Lydia now!" Sahloknir at that readied to move again to get away from who Lydia is.
Though since he didn't know who Lydia was he ended up giving her a perfect shot as she fired an elven arrow right into his eye. Sahloknir roared blinded in one eye which made him move around the air struggling to see right ended up crashing into the ground near the burial mound.
"Fucking nice shot Lydia!" Jin grinned over towards Lydia who rubbed her head embarrassed. "Now come on while he's down!"
She blushed a bit at the compliment but nodded as they ran to strike the half-blind dragon. Sahloknir shook his head to try getting some sight back, and his blinded side didn't see Delphine charging, and slashing at an arm that he roared turning, and moved to snap his jaw that Delphine dodged over before rolling to move just as Jin ran in jumping, and land a kick at the side of Sahloknir's head which turned before Lydia moved, and swing her longsword on Sahloknir damaging him which he stomped before turning to try smacking with his tail that they moved over.
Delphine moved slashing some with her katana just as Jin charged some magic firing some ice spikes that pierced some parts of Sahloknir but didn't stop him as he fired another fire breath they dodged before Lydia moved, and stabbed her longsword down on one of his arms pinning a wing that he roared turning over, and moved to snap his jaw on her that she gasped being saved by Jin who is using his strength to keep him from attacking Lydia.
Grunting from the effort he's quickly loosing at he turned to Lydia, "Lydia, now now! Now's your chance! Finish it!"
Her eyes widened but she nodded taking a breath and jumping to the side before grabbing a horn on his head as she used the momentum to get on his head and stabbed her longsword down into Sahloknir's head with all her strength. Sahloknir roared loud as he shook his head that Lydia screamed over while the dragon struggles, and shakes around before it threw her off him that she screamed.
"Lydia!" Jin ran over fast as he can catching Lydia before she can hit the ground looking at her. Turning over they see Sahloknir collapsing down dead. When he did his scales, and flesh started burning off which Jin stood up readying, and soon some power flew from the dragon into himself as he closed his eyes absorbing the power which he sighed. Walking over he pulled the sword out of Sahloknir's skull before walking back to Lydia, and handing the sword back. "Dragon blood is now on your hands Lydia... never forget that you killed a dragon with your hands."
She looked a bit stunned before taking a breath and nodding. "Yes."
"Wait. Something's happening... gods above!" Delphine cried in shock seeing the dragon's power absorbed in Jin.
Jin sighed before turning over towards Delphine. "Now do you believe me Delphine?"
"So you really are... I... it's true, isn't it? You really are Dragonborn." Delphine admitted. "I owe you some answers, don't I? Go ahead. Whatever you want to know. Nothing held back."
"What do you know about the dragons coming back?" Jin asked her.
"Not a damn thing. I was just as surprised as you to find that big black dragon here."
Jin frowned before looking down deep in thought.
"This isn't the first time I've seen that dragon." Jin frowned.
"What? Where have you seen it before?" Delphine questioned.
"It's the dragon that attacked Helgen, when Ulfric Stormcloak was supposed to be executed." Jin replied.
"Interesting. Same dragon... Damn it, we're blundering around in the dark here! We need to figure out who's behind it all!"
"What can we do to find out who?" Lydia asked over as they think it over a bit.
Then Delphine gets an idea looking at them. "The Thalmor are our best lead. If they aren't involved, they'll know who is."
This confused Jin who didn't suspect the Thalmor would be a part of the dragon menace. "The Thalmor? Why believe they know anything?"
"Nothing solid. Yet. But my gut tells me it can't be anybody else." Delphine answered before then saying a short version of her story, "The Empire had captured Ulfric. The war was basically over." She then grew suspicious while telling them. "Then a dragon attacks, Ulfric escapes, and the war is back on. And now the dragons are attacking everywhere, indiscriminately. Skyrim is weakened, the Empire is weakened. Who else gains from that but the Thalmor?"
"That would make sense, but how could they be behind it?" Lydia asked her.
"Well right now we don't have another lead over who is orchestrating this." Delphine explained that right now this is there best lead. "Right now, our best bet is to investigate what they know."
"But do you know how we can do that?"
Delphine gives some thought before getting an idea. "If we could get into the Thalmor Embassy... it's the center of their operations in Skyrim... Problem is, that place is locked up tighter than a miser's purse. They could teach me a few things about paranoia..."
"So you don't know how to get in?" Jin asked her.
"I'm not sure yet. I have a few ideas, but I'll need some time to pull things together..." Delphine admitted before then stating to them. "Meet me back in Riverwood. If I'm not back when you get there, wait for me. I shouldn't be long. Keep an eye on the sky. This is only going to get worse." That said she waved, and head off to investigate some things.
Jin frowned at that. "The Thalmor..."
"My Thane... now we should start heading to Markarth?" Lydia asked him if they should go now.
"Yeah, we should." Jin nodded before smiling. "And Lydia, you keep that bow."
"Are... are you sure?"
"After that shot? I'm certain of it." Jin nodded.
Lydia blushed before nodding as they headed off. Seeing a carriage they headed, and bought a ride asking for Markarth. They waited as there ridden to Markarth eventually arriving in the city where they looked up seeing a Dwarven City which they walked seeing some Forsworn Guards at the gate on guard.
"Welcome to Markarth, enjoy your stay." one of the Forsworn Guards greeted over to the two allowing them inside.
"They seem friendlier than I expected." Lydia admitted before frowning. "Though, I feel a chill."
"I feel it too." Jin nodded before turning to the guard. "We came to seek an audience with your emperor."
"By what right do you have to ask such a thing?"
"We've heard of his activities and wish to speak with him." Jin answered.
"The Emperor won't let just anyone discuss with him, he is busy. Unless your someone important, he won't see you." the Forsworn Guard stated over.
Lydia decides to try helping. "Not just anyone? What about the Dragonborn?"
Both guards widen there eyes before they looked at Jin. "Wait... your the Argonian Dragonborn we heard about?"
Jin sighed that it had to come to that before nodding. "I am."
The Guards looked at each other before they looked over. "We will inform the guards to let you pass. Just head to Stoneveil Keep." They opened the doors to let them inside which they did.
"The Dragonborn and the Wolf Emperor meeting, this is incredible." one of the Forsworn Guards whispered.
Jin, and Lydia looked around seeing a prospering town with the poor giving some food, and gold from the Sliver-Blood vaults, some Forsworn Guards standing by on alert at all times, and other things.
"I've heard that the Silver-Bloods were influencing the town... but now it looks like it isn't happening anymore." Lydia admitted to Jin as they see the prospering atmosphere.
"Apparently not." he nodded hearing that as he looked around.
They asked directions on Stoneveil Keep, and were directed over finding the keep entering inside looking around seeing guards, and training men around over seeing Madanach himself on the Jarl Throne with Borkul crossed arms beside him leaning against the wall beside the throne.
"So... you are the Dragonborn that the Guards outside reported over?" Madanach questioned over if he's really what he said he is.
"I am, and you're the emperor of the Tamriel Unification Front?" Jin asked calmly while Lydia respectfully kneeled.
"No, I'm not. I maybe the Jarl of Markarth, and the King of the Forsworn but the title of Emperor of this Empire doesn't belong to me." Madanach answered over explaining this to him. "I'm the Emperor's second-in-command for my official rank into it."
"I see, and where is the emperor?" Jin asked him.
"You will meet him if you prove you are Dragonborn." Madanach stated over to him. "Borkul will see if you are." He nodded to Borkul who growled with a smirk walking down pulling out Volendrung. "Prove your strength against Borkul in a battle, and demonstrate your ability of the Thu'um. Then we will let you see him."
Jin sighed drawing a Steel Longsword. "Alright, first one to draw blood?"
"Hmmm. If you are, I don't expect you to go easy." Borkul grinned as he readied showing his skill with Volendrung by swinging several times with little effort before smacking it down, and let out a battlecry charging over at Jin.
Jin readied charging moving to slash over that Borkul blocked, and turned to kick that Jin dodged spinning his sword to move to strike that Borkul dodged before moving to thrust forward with Volendrung that Jin jumped backwards to avoid before Borkul followed it up with a quick swing that Jin blocked with his sword pushing him back readying over as Borkul charged forward swinging that Jin ducked over moving, and moved to slash that Borkul guarded against with Volendrung's hilt, and spin trying to punch that Jin moved dodging the attack over.
"I knew you put up a fight. But come on, I can take some Thu'um! Give it to me!" Borkul demanded over with a smirk over.
Jin frowned hearing that. "TILD!"
Suddenly time seemed to slow as Jin avoided Borkul swinging Volendrung as he managed to land a small cut on his arm. When time reverted back Borkul slowed seeing the cut on his arm which he laughed over grinning at Jin before placing back Volendrung. "So you are..."
Madanach rose back up. "Follow me Dragonborn." Jin nodded as he, and Lydia followed Madanach over inside the keep heading over where the Emperor might be. Arriving over at a room he knocked on the door. "My Emperor? You have an important guest."
"Who is it?" Noel's voice asked from behind the door.
"It's the Dragonborn, milord." Madanach responded over.
The door was quiet for a moment before then Noel instructed. "Let them in."
Jin paused turning to Borkul. "I'd have used a more powerful shout, but that wasn't a fight to the death."
Borkul frowned at that but nodded. "Fair enough, maybe we can have a real match next time."
Hearing that Jin nodded walking into the room with Lydia.
Jin paused turning to Borkul. "I'd have used a more powerful shout, but that wasn't a fight to the death."
Borkul frowned at that but nodded. "Fair enough, maybe we can have a real match next time."
Hearing that Jin nodded walking into the room with Lydia. They see a large room where they see mannequins, a large bed, and some bookshelves, desk, and papers. They see the back of this Emperor, and are surprised by what they saw.
A young blonde haired kid looking like a bit of a teenager who turned over showing he's wearing casual clothing with some scars, and muscles visible on his arms, blue eyes, and has some freckles over.
"So... your the Dragonborn." Noel spoken over to Jin.
"I am, and... you're the emperor of the Tamriel Unification Front?" Jin inquired. "You're certainly younger than I anticipated."
"Age doesn't matter for me." Noel spoken walking over before he introduced himself. "I am Noel Septim, the first Emperor of the Tamriel Unification Front or known simply as the Wolf Emperor." He bowed over to them before then saying. "And I'm not really a Septim in case your gonna ask. I'm only a Septim by marriage, and not by blood."
"I was under the impression the Septim line died out long ago." Lydia noted hearing that.
"They did. One was just revived." Noel answered before seeing a door in the room opening. "Matter of fact here she is."
They looked seeing Potema fresh out of a bath drying herself with a towel in causal clothes barefooted over. Jin and Lydia both looked stunned seeing her. Potema looked over seeing this before Noel walked over with a smile. "We have important guests today, honey. The Dragonborn himself."
"Oh really?" Potema looked at them as she walked over staring over. "Hmm... battle-ready... strong... definitely a thirst for vengeance... why did you come to our empire Sir..."
"Jin... and I came to confirm some rumors... starting with your stance on the Thalmor?" Jin inquired.
"Indeed, we don't intend to lend aid to those assholes." Potema confirmed over to him. "Oh I'm Potema Septim, you probably know of me already." Noticing Lydia she grinned over walking. "Oh... and who is this maiden?" She softly cupped Lydia's chin as she stares at her eyes.
Lydia couldn't help herself from blushing. "My name is Lydia, I serve as housecarl to my Thane."
"Potema... are you seriously flirting with someone in front of me?"
Potema grinned slyly over at Noel. "Oh do you mind?"
Noel stared before he sighed smiling. "Well you did mention something like this... well no not really." He then shrugged. "In fact why don't you take Lydia to get some time to relax? She looked like she had a long day."
"Certainly." Potema patted Lydia's shoulder with her grin over. "Come over dear, I'll relieve your aching joints of a hard journey if you follow me." She gestured Lydia to follow her to the bathroom she just came out of. Lydia was blushing but followed her.
They watched as they entered the bathroom closing the door as Noel sighed smiling. "Well that's one thing from Potema I didn't believe until I seen it..." He then turned over to Jin. "Well I suppose this discussion will be by ourselves Jin. So you came to see if we really oppose the Thalmor?"
"Yes, I did." Jin nodded with hatred lacing his tone.
"Well I would like you to tell me why you hate them exactly?" Noel should get to know him as this is the player character, and never got there side of the story of how things happen on there end so now he can get the answers over what the player character is like before Skyrim's events.
Jin frowned before sighing. "It's a long story."
"I have time to listen." Noel answered.
Jin closed his eyes pulling out something, and opened it that Noel raised an eyebrow confused.
(Cue Theme: Davy Jones Music Box)
Noel blinked. 'A music box? They actually exist here...? Wait... this tune is from Davy Jones' music box... how...?' He looked up to Jin as he sat down.
"I need you to not interrupt me as I tell you." Jin requested over to him.
"Of course." Noel nodded. "I won't interrupt your story."
With that Jin proceeded to explain Noel his story over.
With the women, Potema had Lydia stripped down off her armor, and clothing sitting in a warm water filled wooden bucket and proceeding to scrub her back with a soap soaked towel to clean it off while she sees her scars. "Hmmm, you certainly been in some fights haven't you?"
"Yes... I have." Lydia blushed even more. "I do whatever it is my thane asks of me... be it carry his burdens or aide him on his adventures."
"How long have you been doing that for?" Potema asked her over seeing that from the looks of things she looks to be fresh out of the coop.
"A few weeks." Lydia answered.
"Hmph... so young, and yet so ready." Potema grinned as she shrugged more. "Is he a good Thane to you?" As she asked she moved the towel starting to scrub the bottom of Lydia's breasts but the younger girl didn't stop her.
"He is... very kind and he's been helping me with my swordplay and archery... I, admittedly got a lucky shot not long ago." Lydia admitted blushing more.
"A lucky shot? Managed to shoot a troll down?"
"Actually... blinded a Dragon's eye in mid-flight."
"Oh lucky girl." Potema placed her towel hand on Lydia's left breast proceeding to scrub that. "I suppose your thane was proud of that?"
"He... yes, I think so." Lydia shuddered only to gasp. "I can handle that part lady Septim."
"Is a good Thane... in bed?" Potema laid a large question that alarmed Lydia that she thinks there together but no there not that close. Hell she's embarrassed just by that, and there is an age gap to consider.
"No!" Lydia gasped jumping up and turning to Potema. "My Thane and I... don't have that kind of relationship."
"Ah really? Given from how you two are, I'd say you are." Lydia had seen that while Potema was doing this she had removed her top clothes.
Lydia opened her mouth to speak but just gasped seeing Potema naked from the waist up and blushed even more.
"Do you like what you see?" Potema grinned slyly over. "I can relieve your poor aching joints... if you let me."
"I... ok." Lydia blushed.
Potema raises up where Lydia sees her stripping herself down before stepping in the bucket grinning as she sat close to her. Lydia's blush got even brighter.
"Now then." Potema proceeds using her hands to scrub, and rub Lydia's chests over. "So you, and your Thane aren't that close?"
"N... no." Lydia shuddered.
"Ah that seemed like a shame. Isn't it, your such a cute woman." Potema moved, and before Lydia is aware starts to kiss her neck.
Lydia gasped and began moaning. "La... lady Septim..."
"You know... your a cute bitch that... your making me want to do this..." Lydia suddenly starts feeling one of Potema's hands moving down her from her chest where she can feeling it tracing down her stomach down further.
"Ahh... wait slow down..." Lydia shivered.
"Have you ever been touched before? Has a man ever looked at you, and been in bed with you? Or has a woman fallen for you in bed?" Potema's hand reached where it's going over that sparked zapping electricity on Lydia's spine.
"N... never... you're the first I..." Lydia gasped and moaned again.
"Oh poor thing... never been touched to show how sexy you look." Potema cooed over sexually while rubbing where her hand is on Lydia. "Well maybe after this, that will change... you might have your Thane begging for him to touch you."
Lydia gasped and moaned even more as she was clearly getting aroused.
"Does that thought excite you?" Potema then inserts a finger over moving before kissing Lydia's forehead.
"It... you do... lady Septim." Lydia shuddered moaning more as she started to cling to Potema.
Potema chuckled from this as she keeps this up before kissing Lydia's head. "So then young girl... why not tell me about yourself?"
Lydia shuddered, melting into Potema's touch, already falling for the beautiful Wolf Empress. "I... as a child I always enjoyed running and playing with the other children in Whiterun... despite my parents claims that fighting was hardly appropriate I..."
She shuddered and moaned, giving herself up more to Potema's caresses.
"They believed I should be a shopkeep, or a trader... something more traditionally feminine but I enjoyed working and learning swordsmanship and archery... it was... an honor when I came into the service of my Jarl, and then later my Thane."
"Ah... so you wanted to be a fighter despite being a lady?" Potema pressed her thumb against Lydia's special thing as she asked that.
"Ye... yes." Lydia moaned.
"I see." Potema starts twisting her fingers in Lydia making her released a choked cry. "And your thane been teaching you well into your swordplay, and archery?" She shows Lydia her breasts offering her to try them out.
"He... he has." Lydia shivered gently kissing Potema's breasts.
Potema sighed feeling it before then reaching her other hand running Lydia's butt. "Well I wonder what he doesn't seen in you... your quite a attractive young maiden."
"My... my thane he... he's loved before, loved and lost..." Lydia shuddered before shuddering.
"Oh I see... so not interested from losing love... I know how it feels like." Potema kissed her neck as she kept going. "Although, your still young, you should experience what it's like... so go ahead let it out young one... you know you want too." She can feel Lydia twitching, and tightening on her fingers so she knows she is holding herself back.
Lydia let out a gasp as she released, falling against Potema as her body shook. The technically older woman smirked pulling out her hand licking before rubbing Lydia's back. "Well young one, was that not phenomenal?" She starts squeeze over Lydia's body to try relieving her aching muscles.
"Of course." Potema starts kissing her after her begging using one hand to rub, and squeeze her left breast.
Lydia moaned into the kiss, giving Potema complete control of her entire body.
Back with the boys Jin finished explaining his tale which honestly astonishes Noel who stared mouth open shocked while the Argonian has tears in his eyes from recalling the tale just as the Music Box stopped playing which he takes closing, and pocketing.
"Whoa... I'm... I'm so sorry to hear that..." Now Noel knows what the player character is like, and is really relatable from losing his family to the Thalmor, and being disgraced from the Empire that he owned his life too alongside other things he never known about such as a League within the Empire to co-exist with all of the different races that fell apart from within.
"They will pay for this, and I will bring the head of the one who killed my family." Jin swore over clenching his hands before then pausing noticing something. "Wait a second..." He walked over which confuses Noel.
"What is it?" Noel asked him.
Jin takes it which Noel walked over where Jin shows him something, a small trinket.
"That's... what was Ondolemar one of the Thalmor in charge of Markarth by the time we take it over had on him." Noel admitted over to him before looking over. "Is it something you know?"
Jin stared before opening it, and started playing the same tune as the music box he had.
"I killed Ondolemar long ago." Noel answered.
Jin stared before he turned back. "I would know who had murdered my family... I would know cause... they had stolen a second music box that Kasaja made herself... this was it."
Noel's eyes widened. "I... I'm so sorry."
Jin stared back at the music box before he then closed his eyes. "Now... that asshole is dead." He closed the music box before looking at Noel. "I didn't commit the deed... but at least I can now be in peace that someone who also hates the Thalmor had done him in." He bowed over towards Noel. "For that I am grateful... and if you need help with anything, I can do my best to help."
Noel stared over surprised. Without him knowing he had avenged the Dragonborn's family. Ondolemar was no less a regular Thalmor NPC that he encounters in Markarth, and someone who assists with the Thalmor Embassy Questline should you fulfill the right conditions. The player character never spoken or is familiar with Ondolemar but if given the chance like this, probably under the true story.
Noel closed his eyes before looking at Jin. "Actually... I do have something in mind Jin."
"What is it?" Jin asked him.
"We have a scheduled meeting with the Jarl of Whiterun soon. We be honored if you can attend with us. He sent us some peace negotiations, and we would like to discuss some important things with him." Noel explained over that probably having the Dragonborn on there side probably have Jarl Balgruuf be more at ease with them.
"That's fine, we should let your wife and Lydia know." Jin mentioned.
Noel nodded before walking to the bathroom knocking on the door. "Potema are you about done with Lydia? Me, and Jin discussed things, and we need to let you know."
"Just about!" Potema called.
"Okay." Noel nodded walking back before then sitting down in his seat. "Well Jin... it will be an honor having you with us to help."
"Same." Jin nodded.
After a minute Potema, and Lydia stepped out together each in casual clothing. Lydia's armor, and equipment are still in the bathroom with Potema intended to give to the blacksmith to sharpen, repair, and clean them out properly for Lydia to be ready the next time she heads out with Jin.
"You two took a while. You didn't embarrass the poor girl too much right Potema?"
Potema grinned over before then saying. "Oh she's a new woman now after what she been through. Quite a daring risk taker." She wrapped an arm around Lydia's shoulders after saying that.
Lydia blushed at that as she slowly nodded. "I... lady Potema... requested I stay with you both while we work together."
"Oh well we worked an agreement with your thane. You both will assist us in our discussion with Jarl Balgruuf." Noel explained over to them before then smiling. "But Lydia, I thank you. You kept your Thane guarded like your sworn too. It should be about time for dinner. Would you, and your Thane like to join us?"
"I... I can join you but..." Lydia blushed.
"She already ate." Potema chuckled.
Noel blinked before realizing what which he chuckled over. Jin blinked over off-guard from it before then asking. "Sorry... we will join you in a little bit, I would... like to have a word with her in private."
"Of course, take your time." Noel smiled walking off with Potema.
After there alone Jin turned over towards Lydia who is blushing. "So Lydia... what the hell was that? First the Wolf Empress wants you to stay with them, and then... what exactly is she doing with you?"
Lydia blushed. "It's... it's nothing my thane."
"Lydia, you can tell me. It's nothing I haven't heard or seen before." Jin told her to speak on it. "I'm only talking about this cause I'm worried for you, if it means you'll be safe."
"I... I will be." Lydia told him. "You have my word."
"And your certain as she... does that with you?" Jin asked her. "Your aware when our business with them is done, we will be away from them for a bit?"
"I... I know." Lydia shivered.
Jin stared before he sighed giving Lydia a pat. "Well as long as your doing it willingly, and there not forcing you to do anything where there giving you a choice is okay with me... just if your uncomfortable your allowed to stop what there doing."
Lydia shivered but nodded.
Ulrich362: The Dragonborn has met the Wolf Emperor.
bopdog111: And the Thane has met the Wolf Empress.
Ulrich362: True, but now how will the four of them move forward?
bopdog111: Well they won't be together for long but enough for them to head to Whiterun after some time together over. Including some more of what we seen Potema apparently has a taste for women like Lydia.
Ulrich362: True... I wonder if she'll let Lydia join her Emperor before they go their separate ways... and maybe as a show of good faith Noel will give Jin one of the Daedric Artifacts?
bopdog111: Unlikely as Jin probably doesn't need a Daedric Artifact. A useful toy maybe but no probably doesn't need one as Skyrim does not require you to have one during the Main Quest.
Ulrich362: Not to use, more a gift to show mutual trust.
bopdog111: Perhaps.
Ulrich362: We'll find out soon. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
