We leave the collapsing cave and duck behind a rock as the dragon soars over.
"Never in my life have I seen a dragon able to do that."
"What do you mean seen? There haven't been any dragons since Tiber Septim."
Hadvar says as he looks at me like I lost my mind.
"We have dragons that are called high dragons where my men and I am from."
The dragon roars and soon disappears into the skyline and we stand up.
"Well I need to find my men, they went that way. Is there any close town or city over there?"
"Falkreath hold is that way, an hours walk, but be careful bandits have taken to the roads like flies to horse shit."
Caerin says and they both wish me luck and safe travels.
Okay this way and lets hope theres not much bandits.

Krem's pov

"Krem go tell the others that Falkreath is just up ahead."
"Of course Lady Cassandra."
I salute and run off back towards chief and the others as I hear Cassandra grumble and smirk.
"Chief!"
"What is it Krem? Trouble?"
"Nope, we found Falkreath and Cassandra sent me back to tell you."
"Good job and now hopefully boss can find us."
"I'm with you there, Arissa told me that she was going to explain some things."
The rest then walk a little faster with me leading the way and we soon meet up with Cassandra.
"Good we're all here and now we can go in and hopefully find a a tavern and wait for Arissa."
We all walk to an entrance and a guard stops us.
"Halt, state your business and where you are from."
"Its your time to shine seeker."
Cassandra sighs and steps forward.
"You wouldn't know who we are for we are a month away from the sea up north, our ship crashed here in a storm and we are stranded hear. Where we are from we are called the inquisition and help protect and keep peace in our lands. Our leader got separated from us at Helgan when a dragon attacked and we are hoping to wait here for her."
"I see, keep your nose clean and cause no problems and we'll be good. Welcome to Falkreath, I would advise going to Dead Mans Drink, its our tavern own by Valga Vinicia, tell her that Erik sent you there."
"Thank you."
We all head into Falkreath and I see a black smith and trading post.
"Chief its so tiny."
"Yeah heaven was bigger than this if only by a little bit."
"Theres Dead Mans Drink."
Varric states and points to show that its across from the trading post.
"Chiiieeefff."
"Yes Krem."
"Can I explore, pleeeease."
Chief sighs and I knee I won.
"Swear you act like like a child at times, but yes just stay close and cause no trouble."
"Aye aye Chief."
I salute and run off to the blacksmith.

Varric's pov

"Kid has a lot of spunk. Lets just hope he does manage to stay out of trouble."
I say as I chuckle. we all pile then into the inn and and see a woman behind a counter who looks at us in mixed shock and surprise. 
"Well I guess that its good that I don't have a full inn today. Take a seat and i'll have Narri grab you something to eat."
I spoke up before anyone else.
"Sorry Miss Vinicia but we don't have any coin."
"Yes a guard named Erik had sent us hear to wait for our leader."
"Ah Erik, should have known well still sit down and i'll have Narri get you something to eat while I get a map. Erik always sends lost travelers here and pays for them latter."
"Well now ain't that nice free food and drink."
Dorian says and I roll my eyes. Before I speak Blackwall beats me to it.
"Get only one thing to eat Dorian and one drink."
"Fine."
We all then sit down close together so that the residents can still come and eat and soon some one comes and begins to sing.
"This song is one that we all know and love. The Dragon born comes."

Arissa's pov

"I swear if I see one more wolf or bear I'm going to lose my mind!"  I soon come across a wall with a guard standing by.
"You must be the woman that Erik told us to look out for. Head to Dead Mans Drink and you'll find your companions, quiet a group your traveling with miss."
"Thank you."
I walk in and hear a familiar happy voice.
"Arissa! Thank which ever being lives in the sky your alive." 
I look over as I see Krem telling a smith good bye.
"Hello to you too Krem."
"Damn you look like shit."
I know that Krem is talking about my complexion that was once white with a blue tint to it now being a grey and covers in blood along with my braided white hair now being a tangled mess.
"You try fighting a bear and four wolves at the same time, its quite hard when on your own."
"Ouch, well lets go in and see the others."
We walk into the tavern and hear shouts of joy.
"THE INQUISITOR IS ALIVE!"
"PRAISE THE DIVINE!"
"PRAISE THE MAKER!"
"This feels like heaven all over again."
Krem whispers before I'm surrounded by our friends and people.
"Alright break it up, the inquisitor looks needs to breath."
Cassandra and Bull have the rest give me breathing space and I give them a greatful smile. They all then go back to there groups after telling me that their happy that I'm okay.
"So your the one that these fine people were waiting for."
I look up from sitting in between Cassandra and Varric.
"Yes I am miss, they have behaved well I hope."
"They were just fine ma'am, I have the miss here a map of Skyrim and don't worry about your mens food and drink a friend of mine is paying for them."
"Thank you for your hospitality."
I tell her and she nods.
"Now how would you feel about getting cleaned up?"
"In all honesty I would quite like that. The smell of blood is terrible."
"I have a dress you can wear but.no armor if that's fine with you."
"Its fine, I can wash of the blood and grime in a lake or river."
"Perfect come with me, Narri handle the people please."
"Yes Valga."
She leads me to two big barrels and I see a hidden stairwell going down.
"Head down and there is a big barrel that a person can fit in that is filled with water. Don't worry it isn't cold and I will be back with your clothes."
I strip down and put a hand in the water and see that indeed.it is quite warm and get fully in. I sigh and dunk my head down in the water and resurface. Valga then knocks on the door and comes in.
"Here is your dress and here are your boots. Come out whenever you wish."
"Thank you again."
She gives a nod and heads out while I sink back into the warm water.

---------------------
So it just occurred to me that I didn't put a picture of Caerin and that I didn't do a disclaimer. So all characters are not mine except for Erik, Arissa and Caerin. And then the plot is all mine. 

Here is Caerin I didn't put an image for Erik because he was probably a one time appearance
