"Go ahead Natalie, but for Bianca's sake, this better be crucial"
"Yes commander chief, *ahem* Bianca has been watching the humans"
Bianca's mouth drops, how could she? They are sisters by blood, both underwent a ritual to gain more wisdom in magic however were unknowingly transformed into Hagravens because of it. Many decades have passed since then, but Bianca still remembers the day vividly.
"And why was she viewing the humans instead of helping the colony with food!?"
Bianca starts to subtly shake from fear. She's going to die today, she's sure of it.
"The Dragonborn is there in Whiterun"
The rest of the colony gasped, it's impossible. There haven't been one in centuries. Could this be true?
"She is doing more than just finding food for us. She has been trying to identify who this Dragonborn is."
Mumors spread throughout the cave that they resided. Questions and statements were passed around the colony. The cave became increasingly active.
Sensing the nervousness and anxiety spreading through her colony. Maureen asserted order in the meeting.
"SILENCE!"
...... Her booming voice echoed in the cave, rattling the stalactites that shimmer beautifully, reflecting the light from torches strewn across the cave walls. The whole cave fell silent.
"Bianca, is this true?"
"Yes Commander cheif"
Maureen gets up from her throne and walks down towards the the kneeling subjects.
"If that's really the case, then we need to find out who this Dragonborn is and eliminate him before he eliminate us. Yvonne, take four more members into your group. We must find out who he is"
Bianca's cousin Yvonne begins to speak however was interrupted by Natalie.
"We mustn't. With larger numbers, we are now at risk of getting caught. It will be much safer to have only us three searching for the Dragonborn."
Maureen rubbed her chin in thought and contiplated the conundrum. It is true that the increase in bodies would give their plan away. However if something were to occur to her best scavengers, the tribe will starve.
"Mmm.... Fine. But we must be quick at identifying the Dragonborn. It could mean life or death. Continue with the search"
The trio bows in respect and merges with the crowd. The question still lingered through the tribe. Who is the Dragonborn?
Everyone but the trio. Especially Bianca, her mind was still on the Knight that she bumped into. She wants, no, needs to see him again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Night consumes the sky and is the signal for the scavenge trio to head out again. Drinking an invisibility potion to allow them easy access into Whiterun again. Yvonne took ingredients that helps make potions, Natalie and Bianca took food. They would switch these roles periodically.
Yvonne went towards the castle of a building where the Jarl and his guards resided. The other two walked towards the tavern again.
"Naty, thank goodness you heard about the Dragonborn, but where should we start looking?"
Natalie looks towards the direction of her invisible sister. If Bianca could see her, she would have seen the sarcastic look on her face.
She scoffs, "Bii, there is no such thing as the Dragonborn. I made it all up. You were clearly oggling that knight that you ran into."
Natalie reaches towards her sister and places her hand on her shoulder.
"There's nothing wrong with dreaming, but you need to snap back to reality. The human world is no longer for us. Come on, we need to grab extra because of what happened yesterday. You go to the left, I'll go to the right"
Bianca listens as her sisters footsteps grew quieter and quieter into the darness. Turning around, Bianca heads the opposite direction, thinking about what Natalie had said to her.
"She's right, love is no longer an option for someone like me."
Fighting back the tears, she spots some flowers that are commonly used for making health potions. She stuffs them into her pouch and glides towards the produce stands in the middle of town. There are usually plenty of cabbage leaves and animal meat that have been dropped from transactions earlier that day.
Bianca turns towards the tavern to look at the spot where she encountered her crush. One lit torch illuminated the path walking into the establishment. Right around the corner there was the spot that the man stood last night. If only she could see him just one more time. Bianca's mind started to wander and bubble with glee and disappointment.
"Those flowers are very lovely miss, they pair perfectly with your eyes"
A familiar gentle masculine voice comes from behind her.
Bianca jolts up and lets out a tiny squeak, startled by the sudden compliment. Her face was flushed red from embarrassment and flattery. When did he get there? And for how long?
"I picked some more flowers for you, I hope that you like them."
From his napsack, he pulls out 4 more flowers. These flowers are usually used for making magic restoration potions.
The knight hands the flowers to her, but Bianca is still in shock and awe. No one has ever gave her a flower ever in her life. Is this a dream?
He sheepishly places the flowers in front of her and points over to a hill right outside of the town walls.
"There's a dead Mammoth near that hill. Perhaps you would like to cook that instead of leftovers...."
The man slowly turns around and walks into the darkness. Bianca, still flabbergasted, continues to sit in the same spot for a few minutes.
"psst, Bianca. where are you?"
Yvonne was holding a couple bottles of potions, patting the ground to guess where her cousin is.
Bianca gives out a quiet whistle noise to alert Yvonne where she is.
"Hey, are you ok?"
"Hmm? Oh yeah.... I'm fine. I found some flowers for potions and I think I spotted a dead Mammoth over by that hill"
Bianca stuffs her flowers into the pouch and starts walking towards the hill she mentioned.
"That's awesome! Let's find Natalie and head over there. I wonder if her potion has ward off yet"
A chill ran up her spine, the potion! She has been invisible this entire time. And yet her knight crush saw right through it. Who are you?
