Skyrim - Blood and Honor

[SinnerShadow]

The elf was really grating on his last nerve and the b***h seemed to know it. His fist was clenched so hard that he knew his knuckles were bone white from the fury he was holding in. His horse was picking up on his growing ill temper and began reacting by whining slightly in fear and tying to back up despite having him on her back. "I'm not a lost mutt." He growled out with more force than he intended while wondering if it would be such a bad thing to turn and rip her head off her shoulders.
No he couldn't do that! He had refused to transform and though despite giving in once turing the attack on the Silver Hand he hadn't changed sense than. Though h couldn't deny how easy it would be to kill her right now she was weaker and thus wouldn't be able to keep up with him. It would be so easy.

Alva knew she was getting him mad, she could see how heard he gripped the rains on his horse, and the horse itself was getting scared. Vilkas was fighting the beast inside him right now. It wasnted out she could sence that much. "really because you look like one from whare im sitting" she knew that at this point he could easely kill her, and he was probely thinking about that right now. He didnt need to fight it, though he apperntly didnt know that. He was lucky in a why on how he got the beast blood, she had been attacked as a child.
She also wanted him gone, this had nothing to do with him, but his horse was freaking out so she might be able to get some what of a head on him. she told her hose to start troting again before he went to a gallop, the Nord might get mad at her for this but he was already mad and she really didnt care.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Vilkas was distracted by his horse starting to panic more than he would have aned her to.When he heard Alva taking off that was in his mind th last straw for his control. He ad been frightening with control nearly the whole trip and he snipping at him, normally he wouldn't care, but she got under his skin. But that didn't matter at least at the moment he didn't even notice that his hore was pancing even more considering the sudden and very dangerous change in his denouncer.
Frnakly he no longer cared what she was aiming to do in Marketh or anywhere for that matter. It didn't matter anymore.
What did matter was that he got his hands around her throat and tear it out. The net thing he noted was that he was on the ground and should be feeling pain from how he landed his horse was boltingin the same direction Alva took off in though the mare was running for dear life rather than escape, perhaps they were actually the samething.
He wasn't evne fully awre fo what was happening and when he did notice he found he wasn't caring ehtier. He felt his body shifting and the painful burning that came with it.

-I eeded a wolf changing scene also I think it'll just make this atlittle more intresitng lol-  

[anubisgirl]

Alva looked over her shoulder to see if she was being fallowed or not. "he wont give up will he" she said, seeing not a Nord but a wolf comeing after her. She knew it was Vilkas, she could smell it was him. Well atleast he wasent repressing himself. This however proved a problum since if she tryed to transform she could open her wounds again. She wouldent be able to suvruve if she was cought ether. looks like they were going to have some fun. To bad there wernt many trees around, stupid planes if there was some trees she could give him a real hunt. this she could only hope her hose could keep up the pase and not colapse. If she lost her horse she was going to charge him for a new one. "so you finaly decided to have some real fun" she taunted. stupid maybe, fun, deffently.

Early Evening

Vilkas chased the elf for what felt like hours, when it had really only been a little over one. his mind hadn't registered much save for the fact she needed to be caught and he needed to be the on to do it. Her horse, which was practically killing itself to keep going. He had chased her south closer an closer to the thick pine foress and he knew what she was trying to do and evrytime he made sure to leap at the hors and foree it in another direction that suited him better.
The pounding in his head hadn't sotpped it was only getig louder with every passing second. The brief knowledge that they were closer to hunter territory, hunters in the south were more prone to hunt werewols.

Vilkas's trail was cold or lucke warm at bst and that irritated farkas. He didn't want to speclate something having ahppend. Zev was waiting patiently by the horses while he had gone on a bit ahead ot make sure he could still find the sent. He ould yes but it was getting fienter with evry pasng hour and they were still in the the most norther part of whiterun.
"He's sent is irrataic." He thught allowed more to himself.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev could sence that there was a change that happened, the was no dought in the sent, even if it was nearly cold, Vilkas had transformed, that was eather very back or extrimly bad, Vilkas wouldent jest transform fot no reasion, he had only ever seen him do it once and that was with the silver hand. That worried him, maybe hunters were around and were hunting him. It was all he could do to keep the horeses from bolting at every little sound. the sent, even and old sent, of a were wolf seemed to freak him out.
A snap close by, he knew some one was there, weather they were friend or not he didnt have time to tell, he didnt even have time to draw his sword as he was attack, by Vilkas he assumed, after all his sent was there, and this was deffently a werewolf. though he didnt exactly get a good look, as being attacked from behind and getting a good stroge hit things went black as he hit the ground and the horses ran for it.

Alva was still having fun with this cat and mouse game, most wouldent think to keep her away from the trees but he did. Vilkas was smarter than most nords. that was a good thing, Though they were heading away from ware she needed to go and time was not something she could wast. "as fun as this is, i cant play anymore" she said knowing that he wouldent like it but she didnt care "this should be enough for you though, get some of that engery out" if anything Vilkas should feel a lot better after a good run in wolf form.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Farkas had been distracted and later he would blame himself for not noticing the werewolf approchng. but he was knocked flat before he fully reacted, again later he wold hate himself for it.
Later and Farkas couldn't even tell how much time went by hoenslty he just lsowly came to. His head hurt a lot and he felt heavy.and he couldn't tell where he was because .. where was he? 'Why do I feel so heavy?'/I] He thaught as ha hit in the head shouldn't hurt this muh or make him feel like this. Wait where was Zev..? "ev?" He groaned out.===

No she was not just leaving because she wanted to! Vilkas darted at the horse again, not caring for the reatures well being and this time he was fully intending on killing it. And he wouldhave except a sharp pain suddnely went threw his leg causing hm to fall and raor in paina d confusion. Suddnely n the ground and snarling he tried to get up again and lunged only othave the pain intensiy making him look and see that a trap had clamped onto his leg digginginto fleah and bone.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev wasent to sure what happened. he rembured that they were looking for Vilkas then well something attacked them. He growned as he blinked his eyes to have them ajust. "by the nine" he muttered to himself. If that was Vilkas then he wondered why he had attacked, he didnt think he pissed him off that much. "Farkas?" he asked hearing the Nord say his name. He felt heavy and his head was swimming a little "Are you alright, damn it why do i feel like a saber cat fell asleep ontop of me" he said. he wasent sure what had happened but he was going to ask Vilkes when he saw him again.

Alva hurd the tale tale sound of a leg snare. He reallywas a pup if he didnt notice it. She had her horse slow to a stop, the poor thing needed a rest and thought about jest heading on on her own. This would be the best chance she has to get away. Though the thought of him pulling her out of the snow when she was near dead made her growl to herself. SHe was a thife but also a buseness woman, and she hated being in dept to anyone, and as it was now if she left she would still be in dept. She got off her horse and made her way back to the trap the werewolf was in, being sure to stay out of his reach "So...lets talk about a deal...I know you can get out of there yourself...eventuly...but youll damage your leg more if you try....I get you out, my dept to you is repayed and you stop fallowing me" she said.

 

[SinnerShadow]

Faraks felt relief wash over him hearing Zev's voice and even more knowig he was alive. "Good to know we're both not dead." His head was swmming and the sudden appearance of antoehr unknown male made him start.He treid darting but only made himself dizzy.
"Glad to see your both alive." Garreth had heard them moving around as he had been working in the far corner and they apanrlty only just became aware of him. "You can relaxed your safe I would hate for you to reopen your wounds. Father did work rather hard on saving you both." He shrugged walking from Farkas to Zev. "Also nice seeing you again sadly I wish it were under better circumstances." Admittidly Garreth hadn't anticipated seeing Zev again but things were moving in directions and ths here they were again. "Garreth incase you forgot or your memory is rattled form the werewolf we hunted together when last we met." He added the last part as the larger nord had fixed the regarud with a curiosu stare.
"You two know each other?" Farkas asked beore he stopped himself.
"We hhunted together once before and I was inpressed if I'm to be hoenst. Also he fact you both are awake is good enough of news my father will be pleased ot hear as he was working on you both to save your lives. also don't worry all your limbs are still there." He addd with a smrik for amusment.
"Your father?" Farkas asked while focing himself to sit up and nticng he didn't have his armor, aparnelty Garreth and his father had to remove their armor to work on them.
"Yes he doenst usuefully go ot fo his way to help total strangers but he felt your situation warrented his help. When you botha ble enough he would like to speak with you outside.Take your time but don't be to long." Garreth left little room to talk after that as he got up and left threw the front door.
When Farkas was sure that the other male was gone he looked at Zev fully funally. "So what do you think?" He asked.

Vilkas glared and growled at Alva despite the pain in his leg no he would not let some elf women save him. His pride forbid it. Though the pain in is leg was giving a rather lovey counter argument. The fact she was staying just out of his reach both infurtiate dhm but he oculd understand her motives easily enough. No sense in being snagged and torn to peics when your pursuer was held back.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev was a bit suprissed to see Garreth again, after that one night he figured that would be the last of it. He was glad that he had come bu though since he didnt know how long him and Farkas were out. Though the last thing he expected to hear was that Garrths father wanted to see them, he didnt know ware they were exactly. But he was bandged and that explaned why he must have felt a little off, his armer was off. He thanked Garreth before he left the room before he looked over at Farkas "I never expected to see him again" he said. He would jest stick with the hunting story, after all that would be good enough. "Do you rembure what happened. I jest know that something took me by suprise while we were out looking for Vilkas" he asked. though he knew that it was a werewolf. "I think it was a werewolf" he got up and found his armer easely enough and started putting it back on.

"Oh you want to stay in that trap. i would think that you of all people would be smart enough to take help when its offered to you' Alva said. She was not going to let herself get hurt further jest because of some Nords pride. "and honestly, if you lose that leg i dont want to be around your brother when he sees that" she knew that Vilkas couls hurt her, and she knew that Farkas was even stronger than he was so that was the last thingshe wanted. "unless you want to try and get that trap off yourself and risk werewold hunters comeng around i saguest yu let me help"

 

[SinnerShadow]

Farkas fallowed suit of Zev. He was sore and stiff but alive and fully intact. "Had to be it's the only thing that could have snuck up on us, or a vampire but we'd bot be dead if it was." Also vampires only got that physically aggressive wen hunting groups.
"Before we head out there. That guy," He tilted his head toward the door where Garreth ad exited. "He's a werewolf that's obvious enough but what do you think of this?" Farkas realize dhe wasn't making much sense so he attempted to elaborate. "Him and his father he said? I don't know maybe it's waking up and not knowing where I am with two strangers I'm just .. on edge."

Vilkas though seeing the wood elf's logic didn't like it. That also meant she had a debt she could collect on hi, maybe this was how she felt back in Winterhold. Oh well. His pride aside Vilkas possessed enough self control and thought ot know this was the only real option he had. So as much as he hated it h sensed the growling, not fully but it was more like a low hum now. his teeth retracted bak into his mouth but he still watched her wih predator prescient.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev was on guard as well. Even though he had met Garrth once, that was still est once. All be it it was fun that one time but he didnt know still if he could still fully trust him or his father. "were ether very lucky or are about to have a fight for our lifes" he said. it was going to one of those and he was going to have to be on guard. "I only met Garreth once before, like he said, but meeting once dosent mean he can be trusted. he didnt kill us off so that might be something as well" Well they wernt getting anyware like this. "we can go talk to his dad then get back to finding Vilkas" he said putting on the last of his Armur and strapping his great sword onto his back.

Alva smiled knowing that she had won, in a sence. she could get close enough to undo the trap and not get her hand bitten off. she walked bast him to the leg snear trap and pryed the thing open so Vilkes could get his leg out. After it was clear she let the trap snap close again, it wouldent go off again till whoever set it came back to check it. "now was that so heard" she said with a little smirk on her face "were even now"

 

[SinnerShadow]

Apron agreeing that they should get this over and done with the two exited the hut into he sun, blinding them in the process. It seemed to be late afternoon if Farkas was any guess sense the sun was high but the forest was very thick where they were and the chill couldn't be ignored. Farkas thaught he caught a glimpses of Garreth walking off a bit aways but it was clear the other was staying close, the old man sitting on a stone near a fire he assumed was the father. Farkas eyed the old man wearily feeble looking with a loack that looked far to big for him the hood hid his face but didn't mask it. The hands were coverd in freying gloves that exposed pasty white fingers that looked ike bones with skin on them.
But something else.. Farkas's nois gave a twitch as he sniffed carefully and he smelt it. Magic.
This decrept old man was a mage.
"Both awake and alive." The mans' voice came and at first Farkas didn't realize e soke until it registered with him. The voice desite the frailed body sounded strong enough yet a distinct sound of amusment was evident. The mouth was fixed ina sirk o amusment which Farkas couldn't tell if he liked or nt.
"Yeah." Farkas could only reply.
The old man turned his head to look at both men and Farkas once more found the old an to be an unsettling creature, problaby because he was a mage living int eh wilderness, thosw ewere the worst in his mind. Also his eyes were sharp and cunning with tredmendous amusment shinnign in them.
"When my son tld me that Id be having help save two wonders who were ambushed by a werewolf I was half tempted to tell him to elave you two!" The old man laughed in a cacling manner at his own joke. "But as you two can see your both alive and fully healed. Your welcome by the way." Farkas was getting the feeling tha the should have at least thanked the strang eman also the man had a way of making him feel somewhat guilty of not syaign ti right off.
"Um thanks.." Farkas was not good at this ethier.
"Bah! Makes no difference to me one way or another thigns sort themselves out. But I'll admit havng the Dragonborn as a resident in my humble home now that was a surpsie!"

Im going to kill you.
Was all Vilkas thaught and what he made evident in his glare to Alva. Alva though dint seem to care as she had pushed herself carefully away form him while he limped back some. His leg hurt and it was bleeding not as badly as it could be but still Farley bad. he wouldn't give this women the statisfaction though but at the sameitme common snese told him his ankle needed attention.
her wounds were helaing but still the two of them could still rip en another to pieces in no time at all if they weren't careful. Realsing a barely less aggressive growl as a way fo saying 'Thanks' though eh didn't bother making it all ncie for her.

 

[anubisgirl]

Zev wasent sure he could trust this man, though he didnt have any reasion not to, he could smell the magic as well and from past experinces mages in the woods tended to be a bad thing. Though for all he knew this was one of those few that ended up jest likeing living on his own with his son. still it was better to be carfule.
"thank you, very much for your help" he said to be polite. He wasent sure that he trusted the fact that he seemed to know that he was dragonborn, He didnt hide it persay but he didnt go around telling everyone that he was ether. So he assumed it wouldent be to heard to belive that he had heard about it from Garrth or something like that.
"who knows what could have happened in your son haddent come by when he did" that was partly true, though he thought they would have ended up alright they also could have ended up dead. "is there anything i can do to repay you" he figured that at most he could leave a few septoms for the old man or if he asked for a chore to be done that would be alright. Though he still wanted to leave as soon as possabul.

Alva smirked knowing that she would be able to get a head start now. Vilkas would have to tend to his ankle and that would slow him down enough for her to hopefuly get those wrightings before he picked up her trail. Not that she though he really would trail her again after this, she wasent worth his time after all. "you should get that healed before it becomes infected" she said turning her back and walking away from the werewolf.

 

[SinnerShadow]

"Don't act so surprised that I know who and what you are boy. Anyone with an ear to listen and sense enough int heir head would know. Eyes to see and all that. That goes for both of you." The chuckle the man released was at least ot Farkas more demeaning than anything.
"What do yu mean both of us?" He asked just now getting the last comment. He was beginning to feel his hair sand on end.
"I know a werewolf when I see one my son is ne or did you forget that?" The man had a full tooth smirk at this point. 'The tongue of a snake and the teeth of a wolf.'/I] Farkas thought before he could stop himself.
"So yeah that well uh .. thanks um .." Farkas realized that they had been saved be total stranger. "we uh never learned your name.." He admittedly awkwardly.
"Ah names have their uses yes but when you gee to be my age they somewhat loose their meaning. But if you wish a name to call me you may call me Axhidal." the man hadn't moved from his spot sitting but Farkas jus felt .. or maybe he was still very on edge to need to run. "And as for repayment for your lives young man I have but one small and simple request. Fulfill your destiny, go to the Greybeards and bring the other dragon to the matinee top. Fate is a cruel and unforgivneg mistress and it is best to not let her wait."

Ankle be damned no he wasn't lettgner just wlak away like that. Vilkas longed forward and end up in front f Alva once more. A glare and growl conveying everything all in one. 'I'm still going.' He wouldn't let te elf walk away after such an insult besides he needed to kill her personally and having

a broken ankle wouldn't get in his way.
