Skyrim: Forging of Two Blades (COMPLETE)

The Companions

Strofdir exited the Bannered Mare and walked towards the hall of the Companions, Jorrvaskr. Jorrvaskr was a boat, it was lifted upside down, it's history was built around the Skyforge. And the history of Whiterun was built around Jorrvaskr. He wasn't sure if anybody was there though. Bursting through the door were two boys, about the same age, one maybe younger and they looked similar, they were brothers.

"Give it back," the younger one screamed, "it's my sweetroll!"

"Finders keeper!" said the other.

"Farkas! Vilkas!" said a female voice. The two boys turned to be yelled at by the source of the voice. It was a girl. She had red hair, chest length, and she had pale grey eyes. "Stop this foolishness, we have training to do! Now, Farkas, give Vilkas back his sweetroll!"

Farkas protested, but got himself in further trouble. Vilkas started to laugh, "Thank you Aela." Farkas and Vilkas walked back in to the hall, and Aela went up to Strofdir.

"Who are you," she asked.

"I'm Strofdir, I came to join-" he was cut off.

"The Companions? Well, good luck getting in. If you want a part of being a companion, go talk to the our Harbinger, his name is Kodlak."

"Umm... thanks." Strofdir walked into the Jorrvaskr and asked one of the maids where he could find Kodlak. He went down to the sleeping quarters and found Kodlak. "Excuse me, you are Kodlak, yes?"

"Yes," he replied, "do you wish to join the Companions?"

"Yes, sir."

"Very well," he continued, "you are how old?"

"Fourteen winters, sir."

"Yes, hmm. You will prove yourself, to make sure you do not die, we shall make sure you start out with a brawl. You will go against Farkas, have you met him?"

"In sorts..." Kodlak and Strofdir walked to get Farkas, then to the courtyard. Strofdir stuck out his hand to shake Farkas'. "Hello, my name is Strofdir, nice to meet you."

"I don't like you," Farkas said, "I'm going to have fun beating you." Kodlak gave him a stern look.

"The first one to get their knee on the others chest," Kodlak announced, "wins the brawl."

The fight began. Farkas went for a left swing, missed. He did a right swing, missed. Went for a kick in the gut, Strofdir grabbed his leg and Farkas fell on the ground. Strofdir placed his right knee on Farkas' chest. He had won. Kodlak gathered a meeting of all the Companions and announced the new member, Strofdir.

Later in his celebration, Farkas went up to Strofdir. He looked at him straight in the eye and stuck out his hand. "Nice to meet you too, Strofdir." Strofdir shook Farkas' hand. Kodlak had assigned Aela to show Strofdir around. She gave him a personalized training schedule.

"Wait," Strofdir began, "why are three of you teachers?"

"We are the only ones willing to help the recruits," she replied, "except for Aegis, she is always willing to help. Now go look for Skjor, he's around here somewhere." Strofdir found Skjor, he showed him around Jorrvaskr, and told him the history of Jorrvaskr and the Companions.

Night was falling, Strofdir went to his bed in the sleeping quarters. He laid down on the bed a closed his eyes... when the silence was broken, by a group of howls...
