Queen of the Flames

The DragonStone

Rowen Moonwalker & Drizzt Do'Urden- Rain's Hand (Turdas)

"Do you know me?"

Drizzt's heart dropped to his stomach as she said the words. Had she not had the visions? He swore he could have screamed right then and there. Why had she not felt what he did?
"What? No...you-you I don't understand"

Rowen crossed her arms, staring at him. He wasn't going to hurt her, she could feel it. She could only hope she was right.
"I don't either. But you seem to know more than me."

Drizzt pinched the bridge of his nose. "I don't. Really" Rowen scoffed lightly "Tell me how you know me"

"I don't-

"You know my name."

He sighed, apparently he did know more than her "I had a dream..a vision almost. Mielikki, a goddess, told me to come here. She told me-

He stopped.

It sounded stupid. He knew that. How was he supposed to tell someone he just met that she was his destiny?

"Told you what?" Rowen asked, getting impatient.

"You won't believe me."

"Try me"

He hesitated "She..She said you were my destiny" he said. He wasn't going to lie, and he didn't know how else to say it.

Rowen raised her eyebrows, expecting him to go back on what he said. He didn't. She tried to not laugh, she really did. But she couldn't help herself.

Drizzt watched her, letting out a small chuckle himself. He knew how crazy he sounded, but he need her to believe him.

"I know it sounds crazy."

She shook her head "There's not anything in my life that hasn't been. What's your name?"

"Drizzt Do'urden"

"Well, Drizzt Do'urden, I'll make you a deal"

He tilted his head at her "A deal?"

She nodded "Yeah. Come into the barrows with me, and if I still like you by the end of it, maybe I am your destiny"

"And if not?"

She shrugged "Then I'm not, and you leave and I act like I never met you"

Drizzt thought for a moment, he didn't plan on hurting her. If this was the only way he could stay with her and find out what everyone meant, it was a fair deal. If he was in her position, he would be hesitant to.

He shook her hand she'd stretched out "Deal." She smiled "Alright then"

Rowen walked off, and he followed closely behind "What are you doing here anyway?"
She looked up at him,  "Dragonstone"

"That tells me a lot" He said sarcastically

"I know. I'll have you know, I'm quite wise, thank you" She said back, just as sarcastic.
He scoffed "Then tell me, wise one, what's a dragonstone?"

She put her hands out, as if holding it "It's-It's like a map of dragon graves. A stony map"
Drizzt laughed, shaking his head "A 'stony' map?"

Rowen nodded, shivering "Good gods, It's cold" Drizzt agreed "Is it warm anywhere in Skyrim?"
She shrugged, pulling her cloak further around her shoulders "I don't know. This is my first time here"

"So you've decided to start your time in the country by traveling into a cave to find a stony dragon map?"

She sighed, she didn't really have much else to do here or anywhere if she didn't have a family to go to, or is she even had one.
But it's not like she could tell him that right out, she just met him. "I did. Maybe I'll find out I'm a demigod! You don't know. You are not the wise one"
