Borderless

New World

                             One
The twenty seven year old Siri Snow-Heart ,last Dragonborn of Skyrim  rode down the road to Hjarchen Hall ,where her parents had been living for almost two years now .  

She was only stopping by for a visit  and to bring news from her brother Thorald who was currently living in Windhelm where he worked for the High King of Skyrim ,Ulfric Stormcloak  as an assistant Steward now that Jorleif had decided to  travel a bit to see the world outside of Skyrim's birders .

Siri would stop by her parents once every two weeks just to maintain the relationship that had been mended with care .

Siri was the eldest of the Snow-Heart children . She was also the shortest . Nobody believed her when she implied that she was a Nord . Everyone always called her a Breton because of her height .

She had three more brothers and one sister . Two of her brothers as well as her sister lived in the city of Whiterun while only one lived with their parents since he had developed a knack for farming .

Siri was surprised when Gunther had  decided that he won't be leaving like the others . She was rather glad too because her job as Dragonborn often took her away from her family  most days .

Ragolf and Arnbjorn her two youngest brothers seemed to take the live in the ever growing city of Whiterun  pretty seriously . Bjorn was a Blacksmith in training  while Ragolf was a member of the most famous warrior group in all of Skyrim ,The Companions .

Bjorn was married to Braith the daughter of Amren the mercenary Redgaurd who had made the city his home and Ragolf had eyes only for  Mila the daughter of Carlotta  who owned a market stall . They were going to marry in a month .

Ira was married to Lars Battle-Born and was expecting her first baby . It had taken them long to convince Olfrid Battle-Born the head of the Battle-Born family to give them their blessing .

Siri sighs deeply as she thinks of how her siblings seems to have found people to love and she didn't because of her love for someone unreachable and far away .

Gunther had a wife too . She was a pretty  little Breton that was always busy brewing potions ,while  Thorald had married someone Siri didn't expect he would .  Serana ,the ex vampire .

Oh how I wish I had someone who I could have and hold forever ,she thinks as she watches the scenery of Whiterun Hold . Alas , there are only one man I would have ever wanted and he I cannot have because I cannot go back to Thedas even if I wanted to .

Her thoughts brought no comfort ,only regret for leaving Thedas .

Hjarchen Hall came into view as the horse rounded a bend .  Siri smiled as she could smell her mothers cooking wafting towards her .

Minutes later she halted at the small stable her father had built after the old one had not been to his liking .

The front door opened as Siri the Elder came out to greet her daughter . She was trailed by Arina  ,Gunther's wife .

"Siri ,your home !", Siri the Elder called .

" Yes ,Mama ,but only for a day or two because I'll be heading to Solitude  to see Jarl Elisif ,she has summoned me to her court ".
  " So soon ?,When are you going to settle down ?".

"Oh, Mama , I can't while I'm me ,my duty is to serve this land until I lay my head down one day and you know that ".

Her mother sighed and nodded . There was no use in arguing with her daughter .

              *************
" What do you mean there has been activity in Wolf Skull Cave again ,Falk!", Siri exclaimed in alarm as she stared from him to Jarl Elisif who seemed to hate her with a potion  since the war between the Stormcloaks and the Empire was won by the Stormcloaks  years ago when Siri was still a teenager .
