When we wake up we both sigh. I pull at the dragonblood amulet. You sigh and get ready to travel. I get dressed and check on our baby. You come in and see me pulling Krimson out of her crib, she sighs happily at being carried in her sleep.
"First things first... I'm tired of this place.. it just... holds some memories and I could use somewhere new."
I nod and smile.
"I have a place... I bought it back when you were gone. Just in case."
You look at me in surprise.
"Hjerim... in windhelm."
You smile remembering it from a mission you did there.
"Do you...."
I stop you with a kiss.
"I have stuff for a baby there already... and its warded. I can... maybe move us there... but I've never taken three souls through."
You shake your head and we sit for breakfast. I watch you feed kenithia and you watch me lick my lips hungrily.
"I forgot... you need blood.... can... you fe..."
I shake my head and smile.
"I'll hunt on the way. "
You nod and I take Krimson setting her in a carrier on my chest. You grab your bow and I hold out a sword for you. Pitch black metal with blood red inlay. Looking more like a bloody razor than a sword.
"Take it... its special."
As soon as your hand wraps around the hilt you feel the enchantments activate. It's easier to breath and you can see better.
"The blood blade of ghaul. It helped him fight better and longer. It's a deadric artifact... almost."
You smile and set it on your belt. When we leave the gates and start on the road I sing.
Cold, the air and water flowing
Hard, the land we call our home
Push, to keep the dark from coming
Feel the weight of what we owe.
This, a song of songs and daughters
Hide, the heart of who we are
Making peace to build a future
Strong United working till we fall.
A couple of nords that we pass nod to my song. We stop at an in about halfway in a small town. After paying for the room and setting down our gear, Krimson whines and reaches for her mommy.
I laugh and hand her off only for you to spring her around making her squeal in happiness. After feeding her we both lay down. I pet you and tell you to sleep. I'll watch over everything.
