♤Y/N's P.O.V♤

I slowly opened my eyes. At first, everything was dark until my eyes adjusted and saw light coming threw the small window on the wall.

I put my hands in front of me and stretched them out. But then they touched something bare.

I opened my eyes fully and saw a bare chest. Oh Irean. Please tell me I didn't..

I looked up and saw a sleeping Travis.

My eyes widen and I moved away from him. But I ended up falling off his bed.

I put my hand on my head and rubbed it where I had whacked it.

"Ow.." I mumbled.

"Mmm, Y/N?" I heard Travis say sheepishly.

I heard the bed creak as he sat up. He looked down and toward the ground where I was.

"Oh my Irean, Y/N, are you ok?" He asked me.

"Yea, I'm fine, just whacked my head off the ground." I say with a small smile.

"Here, let me help you up." He said getting off his bed. He stood up and held out his hand.

I grabbed it and he helped me up.

"Thanks. And thank you for uh, letting me sleep In here." I say.

"Oh, no problem, like I said, if you need anything, you can come to me." He said.

"Again, thanks." I say, he smiled and I awkwardly walked out of his room and toward the living quarters. Until, I realized that I was still in my clothes from yesterday.

I shrugged and walked upstairs to the mead hall.

There, I saw Garroth, Zane, Vylad, Katelyn, Aphmau, Gene, Dante, Jeffory and Laurence sitting at the long table. Laughing and eating.

"Hey Y/N! Why don't you join us!" Aphmau said with a warm smile on her face.

"Um, sure!" I say walking over to an empty spot beside Garroth.

He smiled at me as I sat down.

"Isn't this place great?" He asked me.

"Yea it is. It sure isn't anything like O'Kasis." I say.

He nodded and continued to eat his Salmon Steak.

"Alright guys, you know the Companion tradition. Who's turn is it to sing a song?" Gene asked the group.

"I think Y/N should sing for us." Katelyn said.

"Yea! Me too!" Aphmau said.

I looked at Garroth, Zane and Vylad.

"Yea, we've heard her sing before. She's a good singer." Zane said.

"Alright, it looks like you'll be singing us a song Y/N." Gene said.

I smiled a little and stood up. I looked over and saw Travis sitting down beside Dante.

I walked over to the front of the table.

"Ok, uh, I do have a song." I say.

I looked at Garroth. He nodded.

"We drink to our youth, to days come and gone. For the age of aggression is just about done.

We'll drive out the Shadow Knights and restore what we own. With our blood and our steel we'll take back our home.

Down with Shad the killer of kings. On the day of your death we'll drink and we'll sing.

We're the children of Ru'uan, and we fight all our lives. And when Sovngarde beckons, everyone of us dies!

But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean. Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams.

Down with Shad the killer of kings. On the day of your death we'll drink and we'll sing.

We're the children of Ru'uan, and we fight all our lives. And when Sovngarde beckons, everyone of us dies!

We drink to our youth, to days come and gone. For the age of aggression is just about done."

Someone out there, wrote a song about Shad killing the high king. Which was my father. I admit, they did a good job but, why would anyone write a song about that.

At the end of the song, tears threatened to spill out of my eyes.

Singing that song, makes me think about my father more.

Everyone looked at me.

"I-I'm sorry, I-I." Before I could finished, I turned around and pushed the front doors of Jorrvaskr open and walking out of them.

Father, I wish you were here. I miss you so much.
