The Fall Of Alduin (ON HOLD)

Ch 7:goodbyes

We sat down in his quarters, with him telling his story for a good few hours because it was a very long story. I learned many things like how he is a werewolf now and I was shocked at first, but it didn't much bother me, because who was I to judge what he wanted to do, but lately he has been having feelings of changing back into a nord. he had sleepless and restless nights and if he decided to change back then he had the necessary materials to do so. I supported whatever role he wanted to do and I also learned that they wiped out the silverhand.

He too had some great adventures like I have, but I kinda envied him in a way because he had better and normal adventures, while I had to fullfil a destiny that was set for me. Though now I can finally have the time to explore skyrim the way I want...hopefully.

I ate a small apple on the table as we talked for a little longer, until it started to get late. Luckily I had a house here in whiterun, but I gave it to Ulran to live in when I left and I don't know if he has been using the house.

"Ulran have you been living here or at our home?"I asked curiously after he finished talking.

"Home of course, I wasn't going to leave it unattended,"he said as we walked down the hallway of the jorrvasker.

I nodded,"is my room still the same, I hadn't had time to look around. I had to deliver materials to the skyforge"

"Of course, it hasn't been touched since you left, "he said with a small smile.

Since it was now getting late we talked to Vilkas and Farkas for a little bit about our plans and headed out the jorrvasker. We walked on the paved road of whiterun, heading to the breezehome as we talked a little more, but never mentioned anything about Alduin for now. I was still thinking about how to deal with this situation because even Paarthurnax would say that I'm crazy or would be mad that I kept his brother alive instead of fulfilling that destiny. I should tell him about this if I'm ever ready, I don't even know what Odahviing would say to this.

It didn't really matter now because what's done is done, so we travled on the pebbled road and already pasted the small market, until we finally stopped in front of the breezehome. Ulran went in the cozy house first, with me following behind him as I saw the fire still running, meaning someone has been home.

"It's always so cozy here,"I commented as my brother started to go upstairs.

"of course, that's why i rather live here,"he explained while he opened a door to my own room."Go ahead and get some rest. I will be downstairs making dinner for the both of us."

I nodded,"thank you brother."

He chuckled,"your welcome little sister."

After that he went to walk back downstairs while I closed the door and sat on the animal fur bed quietly, still in my thoughts. It has been a long day and I just needed a little nap before dinner, so I took off my armor and stripped down into my dark sleeveless shirt, but left my armored trousers on and boots. I took off my gauntlets and kept my hands wrapped in white bandages.

due to my training and my handle in heavy armor and weapons I had a little muscle in my arms and legs, but I was also slender with an hour glass figure. Though some nord females had a better build then me, sometimes looking slightly muscular. It was still nothing compared to a warrior nord male who had bulky muscles and sometimes looked big, but some was slightly musclar with a good build. like farkas for example had bigger muscles then vilkas and my brother had a good build too like vilkas.

I shook my head, confused as to why I was thinking about that just now, but ignored it and soon got out my room once my brother called for dinner. We spent most of the time talking about our adventures and other things as we ate and enjoyed our meals for the night.

****************************************************

It has been a week now I have stayed in whiterun and during my time I have spent it with Ulran at the jorrvasker, doing odd jobs or spending time with the companions. I managed to make a bit of money of my own to travel again and bought a horse for the travels this time, so I'm not walking. I could have asked odahviing to fly me where I needed to go, but I much rather travel by horse to see more, even though I have found myself craving to fly again like a dovah.

odahviing was right it only made me envious of a dovah since that day, but I tried to ignore my dovah instincts.

I picked up and paid Eorlund for making my dragonbone armor again, but this time he threw in a nordic battle axe as a gift. Eorlund insisted I take the two-handed weapon, so I did and gave my worn out ebony battle axe to Ulran who could put it to better use. Urland though helped out with getting the supplies for my travel, like food, a few potions, and some camping materials. I stocked myself up on a few things that I needed such as lock picks and maybe sold a few gems and diamonds that I found in the nordic ruins.

Not to mention sometime during my stay I had to go back to Balgruuf and have a talk about Alduin and any future plans, though I didn't tell him that Alduin was still alive of course. He wished me luck on my future travels and after that I spent time in the jorrvasker, until it was time for me to leave. Today was the day unfortantly and I got up early to start gathering up supplies, including buying the horse and prepping it to carry some things for me.

It was a long morning, though eventually I was outside near the stables finishing a few things as my brother Ulran stood behind me. I already said my goodbye to Vilkas, Farkas, Alea, and the others around whiterun before heading here.

"So how long will it be before I see you again?"Ulran suddenly asked.

I finished hooking up my horse and turned to him.

"I don't know honestly, but I'll make sure to keep writing to you and maybe visit again,"I said with uncertainty in my voice.

He crossed his arms with a sigh as I bit my lip a little.

"Alright, just be careful, especially with Alduin,"he said as he sighed and placed his hands on my shoulders to pull me in for a hug.

I nodded as I hugged back for a little bit, until we parted and he helped me onto the horse. We said our final goodbyes before I departed on the peppled road, heading in the direction of a cave in the moutains that was near windhelm. It was the best place to send Alduin at the time because I had to quickly think before the others knew what I was doing. I still felt nervous about this whole situation I put myself into, but being dragonborn seems to have it's disadvantages, especially with walking into danger everytime, even when I don't mean to.
