[SKYRIM]: The Name of Time - Miraak & Female Dragonborn Fanfiction

Chapter 4

"That was a warning for you Ammra. You'd better watch your back and act fast. He might regain his power already." She scolded herself while walking down the city entrance toward her house—Breezehome. 

Ammra knew Miraak was not joking about backstabbing her, but he did not do that when they were attacked at Windhelm. He had the chance. He had the blade. "Then why didn't he do that? Perhaps he still not aware that he did not need me to regain his power? Yes! That was why he spared me. Geez...Ammra, you'd batter take advantage of this." her mind scolded again. 

"Mama, you're back!" a cheerful voice greeted her when she opened the door. "I have something for you." Ammra smiled and hug the child.

Miraak was surprised to know Ammra had a daughter. He did not expect her to have married. She looked too young to marry in fact. Suddenly a burst of strange annoyance filled his chest. He felt his jaw tightened and an unexplainable subtle but boiling rage flew beneath his skin.

"What is it, Sofie?" Ammra asked while kneeling to her level. The child gave a piece of dessert and let Ammra bite it from her hand. She brushed Sofie's hair with her hand gently. "Thanks, sweetie," Ammra said. "Where is Lydia? I need to see her."

"Welcome back, my thane." Lydia greeted as she walked down the staircase.

"Hi, Lyda. It's good to see you. I need your help. I'll go to Solitude. Would you please help to prepare?"

"No problem, my thane." She replied. "Are you traveling alone or this stranger will join you too?" she asked and Ammra just remembered she had Miraak behind her.

"I will go with him."

"Papa? Will he be my papa?" Sofie chortled with a happy voice. All of them were stunned by the sudden question. Ammra snorted to hold her laughter.

"Sofie..." Lydia said. "Go play outside. Your mother is tired." The child let out a disappointed aww then walked out.

"Wait here Miraak, I will be right back." She climbed the stair and walked to her room. "By the way, Lydia, meet Miraak, Miraak, meet Lydia." Her voice was heard from above.

Miraak gave a cold gaze to her who also stared at him sternly. A moment ago she looked quite calm but now she seemed to ready swing her sword. "You can ignore what the child just said. My thane had never had a man visited the house." He strangely felt a slight relief hearing those words. "My thane adopted her. She is kind and that is why someone like you will never have a chance to ask for her hand. Especially after some cultists that you sent to murder her."

He just smirked. "Don't worry. I am not even interested in her."

"Guys, please don't fight inside my house," Ammra said casually as she walked down the stair. "Let's go Miraak!" Lydia glared at him as they left.

As the two walked down the city road, the guards who happened to be passing regarded Ammra with respect. Words like: 'Greetings, my thane', 'Stay safe, my thane', 'Hail Alduin slayer,' etc rang. Ammra simply replied with a smile or nod. Some other citizens who were her friends waving their hands from distance and smiled when they saw her. 

Miraak heard her grunted in annoyance while obviously turning in the corner of the street to choose an emptier road. "So many people." she sighed. "Anyway, please don't mind what Sofie said earlier. Don't get offended. The kid didn't know what she said." Ammra said without looking back. Miraak caught her acting more relaxed compared with when she walked the street with more people.
