Shadowfire's POV

I waited for Fallow to return. It's been a few hours since she left. I just am not a murderer so I can't go and murder someone unless it is in self defence. Which is funny since I spent the first few years of my life training to kill people.

Wait, is that Fallow. She is coming towards me. She is covered in blood. I hope it's not her blood. She is limping which is not a good sign.

"Fallow are you alright"
"I'm fine just need to wash off Dooms blood. But apart from that and a cut on my leg I am fine"
"Lets get you washed up"
.
A few days later
.
Fallow needed to rest so after she had washed up, we packed and took a horse to the nearest town. This was so we were far from The Shadowhunters in case they went and tried to avenge Doom.

"Shade I think it's time to head back to the Companions now. We have been out for too long and they are probably getting worried"
"You're probably right Fallow. I will start packing our things and saddling a horse for your leg."
"Thanks Shade"

As I was walking out to buy a horse for Fallow these bandits leaped from the shadows and attempted to attack me. I ducked as one of their swords swooped over my head. I got out my blades (the twin daggers) and started to out manoeuvre them. As they realised that I was a bad choice of person to attempt to rob they started to retreat. The cowards.

I put away my blades and went to the stables. I payed 500 gold to the wealthy stableman and saddled my new horse. When his back was turned I used my stealth skills to take back my gold. He didn't need it. 

I meet Fallow and together we put our bags on the horse. We hopped on the horse (yes only one horse, poor horse) and galloped back to the Companions.
.
A while later
.
As we reached the Companions I put on my disguise and we walked and were greeted by many companions asking if we did good. Fallow went off to talk to the leader while I stayed and de-saddled the horse. I went to the stable in Whiterun and sold the horse. After telling the stableman to take care of the horse I walked back to the room I was staying in while I was with the Companions. I snuggled up in my bed and was gone from the waking world. It had been a long day.

"Shade you awake?" Fallow asked waking me up
"I am now. What do you want."
"The leader wishes to speak to you"
"I will be there soon"

After getting ready. I walked to where the leader of the Companions lived to meet the leader. When I was outside his room I knocked on the door.

"Come in"
"You called for me"
"Oh yes come in Shadowfire, come in and take a seat" I took the nearest seat which happened to be right across from him. "Now you are probably wondering why you are here"
"Did I do something wrong Sir"
"Fallow tells me that you are not an elf but are in fact an Argonian. Is this true"
"Yes it is true. I use alteration in a way that changes my appearance"
"I never knew alteration could be used in that way. But man the results are amazing. Please show me your true form" I stood up and removed my elf cover. "Why did you change your appearance. You look stunning for an Argonian."
"I was afraid that people would judge me and not accept me for who I truly am."
"Well here you don't need a hide. Because you are family"
"I am now a true Companion?"
"Yes and to become part of the inner circle you need to do a few more missions"
"You think I have the potential to be part of the inner circle"
"Yes I do"
"What do you wish me to do"
