Chapter 26 - Blood ***** "I need you to retrieve something called the Dragonstone." I could have raised a million and one questions but I opted for the simple, "Just point me in the direction and I'll grab it." He smirked, no doubt wanting to return a sarcastic comment himself, but he swallowed it down. It was one of those times I was glad to be taller a...
Chapter 27 - The Elven Lover ***** Wynne sat beside me during breakfast, I think enjoying my close presence before she pulled away a final time, restoring our relationship to its previous state. There were one or two comments made, as the smile on her face never disappeared the entire time, before she finally said, "He made me feel twenty years younger. Of...
Thanks to those who commented at the end of the first chapter. It heartened me that the reaction was positive. A few of you asked for the history and perhaps a broader idea of the world I've created. So at the start of the next few chapters will be a timeline of history for the world and then a small codex of further information you might find interesting....
Chapter 19 - Recovery ***** Three months later... I had barely left the house since returning from Windhelm having killed the man responsible. I knew I would never have found the Argonian who did the deed. No doubt they'd have returned to Black Marsh. Finding the man who had given the order was enough. Though I barely left the house, I still received the...
Ferelden and the Frostbacks lay far below me. It was a reminder of flying a dragon in Skyrim. The only difference this time is that I had control of this dragon. If it chose to loop around, or fly upside down, I was fucked. So I smacked it in the head with the flat of my sword. "Get on the ground, you stupid fucking dragon." It just roared, trying to shake m...
Chapter 17 - Domestic Bliss ***** Moving Muiri into Riftweald took barely a couple of hours as she didn't need to move any furniture, only her clothes and personal mementoes. I'd bought her a wardrobe and a chest of drawers to hang her clothes in and the drawers for her more personal garments, and made sure she had plenty of space for any other personal ef...
Chapter 31 -- Restoration ***** Vilkas and I left the next morning. The previous night had... It wasn't quite the worst night of my life, but it was close. Aela was beside herself with grief, and after she'd barely eaten dinner, I took her upstairs to the bedroom, where we cuddled together all night, barely able to share a word. She was in no state to joi...
Chapter 22 -- Mages and Dwarves ***** Leliana needed to cushion the saddle upon returning to Denerim the next day. I tried my best not to laugh, but once she looked at me and started to giggle, I couldn't help laughing with her. We had discussed hanging around Denerim to get the lay of the land, but figuring we'd have opportunity again before the Landsmeet...
Second submission to the Steel and Rubber series I am writing. While this part did not take long and I should have uploaded it ages ago, what follows after this took a LOT of thinking. I am still figuring things out, I hope you like it. As always, feedback is welcomed. Siggi shuddered again in the bliss that came with total surrender of mind and body. A w...
*************** I think I'm going to have to make this a tad longer than the 3 chapters that I'd envisioned. Same as the previous chapter, some names and places are property of Bethesda Game Studios, since this tale is set in Skyrim. So if you're read that one, the previous chapter, I mean, I won't need to explain what Khajiit are. Redguard are humans co...
