The Tales of Two Fangs

Ancestor Glade

To say both vampires were disappointed would be an understatement of the last 3 centuries. From what the moth Priest said both women expected a shining, spacious and more beautiful grotto, more beautiful than the Eldergleam sanctuary.

Instead the small cave was overgrown with bushes, plants, small trees and grass and a log fallen over across the center of the cave. Harley turned back to Serana and held in a giggle at her unamused expression.

The blonde knew her dark haired lover was a sucker for scenic views. The view of Skyrim from the throat of the world, the dragonsreach palace balcony view, blackreach and more are some examples of the places Harley has taken Serana several times just so she can see the wonderstruck look on her face. 

"Are you sure we're in the right cave and not just a bear den. I swear to Sithis Harley if a bear or troll comes through that entrance any second now I will throw you into its mouth." Serana faced her younger companion and jabbed a finger on her chest. Both women sniffed the air for any traces of bear or troll satisfied there wasn't.

"He might be blind but he wouldn't misdirect us. He's a moth priest! He devoted his whole life to elder scrolls and knowing where these groves are. Maybe there's more further in." With a quick peck to the older ones cheek, the young vampire started off towards the log. She barely heard Serana fall into step beside her.

"If this ends up being a wasted trip, your friend Dexion and I are going to have some words when we get back." Glowing orange eyes gleamed with playfulness and hunger while the elders tongue glided across her fangs giving the blonde an idea as to what kind of talk the priest would be getting.

"Love, we don't eat those helping us stop your father. If this is a waste of time however I will let this rule be bent one time. Now come on I see light up ahead." Grabbing her girlfriends hand, the Dragonborn pulled the vampire alongside her picking up their pace until they passed through the small pathway and into an opening.

Both vampires stood awestruck at the sight before them. The small cave they stood in moments ago forgotten, before them was an open cavern basked in the light from an opening in the rock on the roof of the glade. Trees neither woman had ever seen grew alongside rows and beds of flowers all over the cavern. Running water could be heard throughout and small streams and waterfalls led to the center where a light beam illuminated on a strange rock formation. 

"Wow... Look at this place. No one's been here in centuries. I doubt there's any other place like it in Skyrim. It's Beautiful." As Serana spoke and looked around taking in every detail, Harley watched her intently. Softly she smiled at her taller lover while feeling warmth take over her undead body. 

This was one of the many reasons she had fallen for the vampire. Serana took beauty in everything around her, she'd been locked underground in an eternal sleep and after Harley freed her and agreed to help her, she hadn't been subtle with taking in the world around her. Not only was Serana deadly but she was also kind unlike most vampires and even most humans, Seeing her interact with children and talk to townspeople while also putting aside time to help them made the younger woman wish she'd found out about the Dawnguard sooner. If only they hadn't betrayed them.

"This is the kind of thing I've been waiting to see, I'm glad you're here with me." The black haired vampire turned to the Dragonborn and looked deeply into her eyes. The two women had shared many quick pecks to the cheeks and forehead but hadn't had their first kiss yet. An unspoken understanding meant neither felt rushed or pressured into when the kiss should happen, trusting that when the time and place was right it would happen. 

"There's no one else I'd rather experience this with either. I don't think I can go back to traveling alone now that we've been together for so long. Nothing feels right without you by my side." Harley turned into Serana fully and nestled her head into the crook of her neck, she wrapped her arms around her lovers middle enjoying the moment together.
