You had been travelling for two days, being unable to acquire any horses you were still two miles away from Riften. You and Hilda had set up camp under a low hanging cliff edge which was concealed by bushes and trees. The cold air lingered around you both, having only a small blanket to keep you warm.
"can we not light a fire?"
"it may attract predators"
"so! I'm freezing"
"would you rather be cold or be dead"
Hilda was quiet after, she hasn't been herself. She seemed upset and worried about something. She stared at the ground with a sad expression, you could see her eyes begin to water. You grabbed a plate of food and sat next to her.
"here eat this"
"thank you"
"you okay?"
"yes, I'm fine"
"Hilda, come on. You're clearly upset about something"
"I'm just worried about Nahkriin"
"don't worry, he'll be fine"
"I know but I can't help but worry"
You could tell by Hilda's expression that there was something else, something more.
"Hilda? Were you and Nahkriin..."
"what no no, well. We had spoken in passing and we would meet sometimes but since Alduin returned we haven't been able to speak that often and I worry that we have grown apart in each other's absence"
"I wouldn't worry Hilda, everything will be okay"
"I hope so"
The leaves rustled in the night wind. It was late and dark and becoming more dangerous with each passing second.
"come on let's get some rest, the earlier we set off the earlier we'll get to Riften"
"very well"
You laid down to rest under the night sky unaware that above you, flew the one that had caused you so much pain. Odahviing was travelling to a distant tower near Windhelm. It was an old prison tower, last issued when Alduin first came to Skyrim. Thought to be abandoned. Everyone believed that the prisoners died many years ago, but there was one who still remained. A sorcerer called Jagar Tharn.
"Jagar!"
"I was wondering when you would be back"
"I need another favour"
"I already gave you my staff what else do you want?"
"I need you to find someone"
"who?"
"The Dragonborn"
"I thought you already had her"
"She escaped"
"well done"
"will you help me or not!"
"what do I get in return?"
"your freedom"
"you've already promised me that"
"then was do you want?"
"The Dragonborn's blood"
"what?"
Odahviing was confused and slightly worried.
"A Dragonborn's blood can be used to create powerful magic, imparticular the portal to the divines and the drainer of life spell"
"what are you planning Jagar?"
"You want to rule over everything? Yes? I want to rule over the mortals, still following your rule of cause"
"very well, you can have her blood and the mortals but the rest is mine"
"Of cause"
Odahviing broke his chains and opened the door so he could leave but before he did. He put his arm in front of Jagar.
"Remember Jagar I still have the jewel"
"No need to worry Odahviing, I won't let you down"
"Find her and bring her back to the castle before the beginning of Frost Fall"
"that's three days away"
"then you better hurry up"
