Axe was traveling to his manor, Deep Rock Hall. He was on a horse with Karliah in front of him. Masson was on a horse next to Axe with Ashr also in front of him.  When the sun hit Karliah's face she would groan and hide her face. Axel saw the red trees of the Rift, the manor is not too far. They reached Shor's Stone, at the very end of the town they took a dirt road on the left. They reached a mountain with a crack in it. Axel got off the horse with Karliah in one of his arms. Masson and Ashr jumped off of their horse, Axe squeezed through the crack followed by Masson and Ashr.

They walked through rose red and  bark brown trees under the soul gem blue sky . Half an hour later they came across three dirt paths, Axe took the right path.

 "It is the right path because it is the right path leading to the manor," Axel called out. 

Their feet clanked against the stone path. They reached a gate leading into a big clearing with stables, a pen for animals, and a pile of hay. They walked down a dirt path through the clearing and up a hill. Axe walked up to the front gate leading to Deep Rock Hall, he stood there staring at his hall that he had made. He walked up to one of the outside walls .

  Deep Rock Hall was an Unique manner. Between the one foot of clay and wood beams were steel and rock walls, pure iron bars helped hold the rock and claytogether. Axel built this three story house with a cellar in only a year, Paarthurnax helped a little.

   Axe opened the front door revealing a clean room with sanded down oak wood floors. He walked over a black bear's hide and opened the double door showing a huge main hall. By the door there was a couch full of hay and straw. Ashr walked over to the couch and sat down sighing in relief.

    "your rooms are on the third floor," Axel chuckled.

   "C'mon, I'll show you," Masson smiled.

   Axe opened the first door on the right, which was his room. He set Karliah on his bed, Axe laid next to her shutting his eyes. He stirred when someone shook him violently, the person had enough and slapped him.

   "AXE!"  Paarthurnax growled.

   "Wha-"

   Axel looked over, Karliah had black horns that looked like the horns on the Daedric helmet but smaller. Her wings where a bit longer than her arms, they were also a light obsession color like her horns. Paarthurnax ran the back of his fingers on Karliah's horns, she tilted her head towards Paarthurnax.

   "I'm her favorite," Paarthurnax smirked.

   The next morning Axel walked out of his room to see Karliah wrapped in a cave bear's hide. She was fast asleep in Paarthurnax's arm. Paarthurnax slightly opened his grey eyes, he smirked and closed them again.

   "I'm her favorite," Paarthurnax whispered.
