Skyrim - Blood and Honor

[anubisgirl]

Sonja was the last person Zev expected to see out in this weather. "Sonja. I should ask you what your doing out in this weather" He said since she could freeze quite easely. But it was good to see her none the less. "Oh yea, I was finaly able to get some good armer...and a better sword to" He liked how easy it was for him to work in this armer and use the sword that was made for him at the skyforge, It was much better than what he had.
"I have to go kill a dragon, something about beng dragonborn. If you want and if you have time would you like to join me. Its been a while since we did anything togather" He offered, This way he could also block her from the wind and catch up with her as well after this hole thing. That would be nice but he wasent sure if she would even be able to.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Her answer should have been 'no I don't have time' or 'perhapes another time' but she agreed before she even thaught about it. 'They wont mind me being gone just a triffle longer I think.' She thaught and hoped a tad more than she should have.

After Dragon Battle

"You said you You were Dragonborn you never mentioned her." Delphine indicated with much irration to Sonja who had just absorbed the recntly risne dargon's soul into herself.
"If it makes you feel better I thaught the first time was fluke." sonja had her arms crossed while sizing up the older women. Her magic could handel her if it got to out of hand. "Second this 'Dragonborn' stuff isn't mine it's Zev's talk to him." She indicated Zev who was stareing at her as she had grown a second head. "And don't you start giving me looks ehtier Zev. i don't know how I did it so don't ask me ehtier!" She was already irratated enough with her time constrian now she was going to have to explain soemthign she coudln't evne understnad herself? Fat chance of that.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev stared, he never expected that there would be another Dragonborm, let alone that it would be Sonja. "Wait you did this before and you didnt tell me about me" He said looking in shock still. He had no idea what this ment. But he started to get his feeling back, he glared at the blade "I didnt know about this until now" He said. Though if he did he might not have told Delphine about it. He was more than willing to take this on on his own.
"Sonja I dont this this belongs to eather of us, Its jest a thing i think " He didnt know how to really describe it. "But iv been recinzed not her so its not really that big a deal right" He could jest go on like he never found her, though he knew the gray beards wanted to talk to her, he wasent going to try and convince her with Delphine around.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Don't etheir of you get it?" Delphine siad trying everything in her pwer to make them both understand."Me and others like me havign spent years looking for just ONE Dragonborn now there are Two. That's nver happened before. Ever. Not once in all recorded history has there been two at once that alone is torubling."
"Troublign for you perhapes." Sonja muattere than gave Zev a look beofre spekaing. "It's happened a few months ago no one else knows, just you and .. well her." She vagually shrugged indicating Delphine. "Look I've already wasted enough time here I need to get back to my buisness."
"No! Don't you udnerstand! Ehtier of you?" Delphine stared at them boht as if they were ignorant children in dire need of discliple, that may not have been to far form the truth. "A Dragonborn is needed. There are two of you that means both of you are needed. And it only speaks to the severity of the sitaiton at ahnd. About the dragons about everything."
"Not to suddnely cut you off but .. Zev that black dragon .. didn't it look familiar. Like form Helgen?" She asked sense somehow that monsteorus things wings and voice rnage so far into her she suddnely relzied where she heard it before.
"Wait you've seen that Dragon before?" Delphine asked.
"Like I said Helgen that was the one that showed up and burned it to the ground." The whole situation was still more than Sonja felt like delaing with it and still she had other things she needed to get back to ...
"That's more unsettlign same dragon .. we need a plan and we need to find out who's behidnall this." Delphine thaguht allowed.
"You two need a plan I need to leave." Really she should have just kept wlalking.

 

[anubisgirl]

Well maybe there has been but since Dragons wernt around no one ever found out" Zev said. Though he didnt know why, but he thought jest because something was not written down didnt exactly make it true, for all he knew there could have been two dragonborns around at one time but they never found out since there was no dragons. Though he knew that sounded really stupid. "Look Maybe shes the back up incase i end up dieing. we shouldent bother her with any of this" he said
He loked at Sonja when she said the thing about it being the same dragon, "now that you mention it....yes i think it was the same one" He wasent really paying attition back then but he did rembure it was black. and this was the only other time he had seen a black dragon.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Niether of you understand. Ther'es never been two only one. Tiber Septim was the last dragonborn also why have two dragonborn is there are no dragons? And she's not a backup if anythign it only cofirms she's dragonbord and not you." Delphine fixed Zev with a critizing look. "Soo I'm wonderign why the Greybeads had you and not her."
"Maybe because I've never heard of them or met them? That might ahve somethign to do with it." Sonja interupted feelign annoyed she was now considered an accesory to the conversation. "Besdies evne if someone was behind hte dragon's returnin that woudl take a lot of proving and secondaly who'd want that? Sounds like to much toruble for little to no payout."
"The Thalmor." Delphoiine interjected sharply.
"And what makes you think the Dominion would know how let alone want this to happen." Sonja asked sense an accusiation of that level doen'st come form nowwhre.
"Skyrim is weak with civil war and the Dominion has been looking for any excuse to start the war back up again or tomaekSkyrim an example. What better way than to bring dragons back." Delphine poitned out.
"One that soudn uttelry redicousla nd stupid. Two if that is in fact what their doing they can have Skyrim. Burn it to ground as far as I'm cocnerned this land coudl use more heat in it." Sonja felt no reaosn to be concered or care.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev glared at the Nord woman "One I have absorbed dragons before. Maybe this time it went to Sonja because she was standing closer to it than I wan, Two, Iv proven myself to the Graybeards so i dont know why I need to prove myself to someone that is part of a washed up group that dosent exiset any more, and Three, I agree with Sonja, there are ways to start up a war without dragons seeing as they cant be controled" Really he did not need to prove himself to this woman. She was jest being used to fufell a task on his part. "So Delphine unless i have proff that the Thalmore are behind this then im sideing with Sonja, thats jest stuped beond all reasion"

 

[SinnerShadow]

"We need ot get the proof is what I'm saying." Delphine was really tyring to keep her composure. honeslty these two! "The Thalmor embassy is our best bet. We get in there and we can ge thee intel we need."
"One issue, how doyou gt in? They dont' just let you wallk up tot he door knock and look aorund." Sonja muttered feelign more annoyed with the cold niping at her even more deeply than before.
"Getting in wont be easy and I never said it would be but given enough time. I cna get one if not both of you in there." She had a few fvors she coudl call in and she knewjust knew the thalmor had osmehtign for her.
"And say I agree as does Zev we are suppsot to just trust you? No offense I think I'll walk into Silverblood Mine and announce myself the Jarl's b*****d daughter thank you very much." Hell that would be safer! "Also I'd rahter trust my own contacts with somthing like this. Nto that I'm agreeing to this by any means."
"And what contacts od youu have tha towuld get into such a place?" Delphine looked at the tiny white breton girl with an eyebrow raised. The girl was small scared very badly and had the dispositon of an ice wrath caught ina cage, how she coudl manage to negotioate any contacts was a mystery.
"Isn't that the point of having contacT? their your sand not somoene elses." Sonja replied matter of faclty. "I might ask once I get back and finish my current buisness."

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev didnt want to apper to chose sides, But he did know that he knew Sonja longer and that she would keep her word, He didnt know much about Delphine and acctuly didnt want to. But she did need to be used for the time being. And since he didnt have any contacts like thike they would have he was stuck for the moment. "Sonja, Ill walk with you till the crossroads" He offered his friend. He was going to go back to whightrun and he could walk with Sonja till they got to the point in the road ware they needed to split. And he knew both of them could contact him if needed.
He could also talk to Sonja privetly as well. He wasent going to force her to do anything, but he would ask her to atleast consider talking to the grayberds to get the information that was very useful to use this power. But the choise was hers to make he knew that he jest was trying to be as useful as he could and help one of his closest friends out.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Fine I'll send a letter to you when I have more informaiton and I assume you two can get in contact with each other easily enough." This had turned out much differently than she had dared hoped but slighlty worse than she feared. Two Dragonborns? Unheard of and the one that apparnelty that was reconized by the greybeards didn't abosrb the soul but some strange little breton gril.
"Fair enough." Sonja spoke nothing more until Delphine was far out of earshot and had clealry began her own track home, or wherever she was heading. "So what's this Dragonborn buisness? News to me." She admitted as she walked at his side much like how they did mnay months back. Strange three months and it suddnely felt like it was lifetimes ago.
Well maybe in a way it was. "But other than all this eledgid savign the world buisness how have you been?" She asked sinsierly sense well .. they had last seen eahc other when he had gone looking for those Witched months ago iwht the other Companions or wolves she should now be calling them.

 

[anubisgirl]

Explaning everything he had learned to Sonja wasent the simplest thing, most likely because Zev himself didnt know everything himself.But he did have more informaton than he did a few moths ago. "The Graybeards said that there was another one" he said to her. "Im not going to tell you what to, Im jest making a saguestion, But if you want more information about this you should talk to them. But I know your time is fulled up so its jest something to think about" He said he would find the other Dragonborn he couldent force them to come talk to anyone. and he did tecanly keep his end of the bargen. "other than that trying to clean out the companions has proven to be more diffacult than I first thought" he said with an annoyed growl. "Though Vilkas likes that he can beat people to a pulp for being lazy asses now"
The other cercil members thought the same as him in trying to get there guild to the gory it once was, that was not going to be easy but they all agreed the getting tougher would help a lot atlest for now. "and jest so you know...you dont have to help me with this dragonborn stuff, i know saving the world isent really your thing."

Dawnstar

She had spent more time than she thaught or even intended in catching up with Zev but it couldn't be helped. It was only after they parted ways and he was far form hearing distance, wolf hearing inculded that she called shadowmere to hers die once more. The ride up north wasn't evntuful fortuantly and she foudn herself back at the Sancturary in no time. the sun was already nearly under the horizen giveng the hwole town and eerire glow about it from the snow.Apon entering the Sanctruary she was happy to note that it felt less freezing and slightly warmer, though that oculd be because they took extra messures to give light and heat through the place.
'Savign the wolrd? That's a whole lot of nonesense if I ever heard it.' She thaught wlaking out fo the entery room into the balcony area above the main chamber. The Night Mother was in her new place and looked as ever dark and lovley, curtisey of cicero.
Speaking of .... Sh nearly feel to the floor when he, to her knoldge, appeared right next to her as if summoned by thaught alone. "Must you do that?" she asked after recovienrg from his unearhtly apperance.
She was even more amazed that Nazir hadn't strangled him whiel she had been gone.

 

[anubisgirl]

Ofcorse Cicero seemed to have appered out of no ware, when really he jest walked up, sometimes he was so quiet that not even his Lostener could sence him. It must have been from years of his traid "Listener you have returned, Cicero was starting to get worried when you did not return when listener said she would" he said. It wasent much time that had passes, So most likely everyone figured that she had found a place to stay while waiting out a storm. That still didnt mean that Cicero couldent worrie a little, after all it is his job to keep there mother safe, and then the listener, those were the most important people in there family.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"I'm more inpressed that Nazir hasn't strangled you despite the restablished tenits." Not that she truely thaught Nazir would but given Cicero's demanour and the Regaurd's attitude towards him she figured some form of bodily harm was lieky to accur sometime int he future.
'Though finding out some mythic bull that I'm some savior of mankind has left me feeling more annoyed. and that some old hag has the nerve to tell me what to do.' She thaught difeintly if not a tad more brat like than she wouldnormally utter allowed, though the Night Mother was the exception in termsof listneing to old women of course. The Sanctuary was quite, which wans't all that surprising sesne despite their efforts thus far Nazir hand't found what he deamed aduquet recruits, but he'd been recruiting for Astrid and had to know a thing or two. She had thaught in a split second of madness of askignCicero but struck the thaught as quickly as it came. Her Keeper didn't have the .. People Skills in social society for such an undertaking. Well now days anyway she could only hazard a guess of what he was like previosuly.
"Well if the wheather is permisable we wont be sleeping on the floor for much longer. Delvin said he could get us fixed up more ore less ina few weeks."Thoguh she would be reepating the very same thing to NAzir though in much more deatil she felt the Keeper deserved some knoldge of what was happening, if only to prevent him from harassingNazir into killing him.

Farkas had awaited Zev's return, slighlty more eagerly than perhapes he should have. The Harbinger thogh beign busy and required to do peform many duties sitll foudn enogh toim to do what was onsiderd by mnay other Compaions as 'Grunt Work', basiclaly the easy jobs.Apon seeing Zev walk through the great doors of hte Mead hall Farkas had t remind himself to not accidnety jump happily like a dog, the pun wanst lost of him."Zev-Harbinger your back .. job went well?" He started sutidply. 'My grace of words once more shines threw' He thaught dimmly. "Um Vilkas set off a few hours ago for that job in Winterhold. said he'd be back ina week or two if the whetehr was good."

 

[anubisgirl]

Well even insane Cicero knew that haveing an acctual bed to sleep on would do everyone a world of good. "Ohhh Cicero knew Listener would come threw, Listener always dose" he said with a laugh at the end "Sleeping on the floor makes Cicero so stiff. Not that Cicero is complaning about it" It was true to some degree he did get stiff sleeping on what was really jest a pile of straw with some pelts over it. He would be able to work faster in his job as keeper if he didnt have to streach out his joints jest to keep them from locking up on him.
and it would be nice to have cince the weather was getting worse it seemed. "Winter is always the heardest. oh but so much fun, no one really goes out so it easyer to kill and make it look like an accdent"someone on the road, they got attack by bandits or a saber cat and the guard are none the wiser to it "Nazir went out, he herd rumers of someone that might be good for the family so he went to take a look. He told cicero to tell you if he didnt come beack before you did" he didnt think this lead would go anyware but they wouldent know unless they took a look.

Home warmth and food, Zev sometimes wondered why he ever went outside, Oh yea killing things was fun sometimes. Though he would still have to give the damned horn to the graybeard he was going to rest a little before he made that joreny.
He had to stop himself from getting to exicted he knew that the chances of Farkas acctuly waiting for him were next to nothing. He didnt want to seem like a lost puppy, pun not intended, " you know jest calling me Zev is fine, its my name after all." He said taking his helmet off, he was still getting used to having a title, he never thought he would. "and the job...about as good as killing dragons normaly go" He decided to leave out the hole Sonja also being dragonborn thing for now, this didnt really concern anyone else and he didnt want to put Farkas in danger "Its getting bad out there, Is the bigging of winter always this bad here" he was not going to get used to this any time soon
