Carries on from the epilogue of the previous entry

 

We rejoin a defeated Aerina and the Mysterious Elf a few hours after she first administered the strange potion to Aerina.

Mysterious Elf: *Doubtfully* Come on... please work...

Aerina's eyes open slowly at first, as if she is waking up from an evening sleep... but then sharply open as she gasps to fill her lungs with air again

She shifts herself up against the tree and sees the other elf staring at her

 

Mysterious Elf: You're Alive! It worked!

Aerina: *Shivering* Wha.. who are you?

Mysterious Elf: Why don't you come over to the fire and warm up.

Aerina cautiously shuffles over to the fire, still dazed as to what is happening.

 

Spoiler

Aerina: So... who are you?

Elf: My name is ... *pause* ... Raynn

Aerina realises she has been given a fake name, but goes along with it.

"Raynn": How are you feeling?

Aerina: Cold, my head is a bit... fuzzy... what happened? Did I pass out?

ScreenShot1495.jpg.84c20d9eee285073ae525fdff5f95547.jpg

 

"Raynn": *delicately* In a way... you were kind of... well... dead.

Aerina: Dead! But that doesn't make any sense, how am I alive again?

Raynn: You'd been dead for at least a couple hours when I found you... you had started to turn pale.

Raynn: But I've been working on a potion that can bring back the recently deceased... it's only ever worked on small animals before...

Aerina: But that's impossible! 

Raynn: Not exactly, some healing potions can be mixed with nirnro... Sorry, you don't need to hear my obsession with alchemy given the current situation.

Aerina: At least you're not a Necromancer... Don't really fancy the idea of being someones pet zombie...

Raynn: *Chuckle* No, definitely not a Necromancer...

Aerina: I just can't believe I was actually dead...

ScreenShot1493.jpg.7013acc0b52c40806ac7098b2088db85.jpg

 

Raynn: Mind if I asked what happened? Do you have any memory of it?

Aerina: I remember being surrounded by three guys... they were part of some group

Aerina: They were with the Orsinium Resistance... I killed one of them ... but their leader.

Aerina: He strangled me to death while fucking me...

Raynn: I feared it might have been something like that... You were covered in cu... erm... very messy when I found you...

ScreenShot1496.jpg.b75c1c96a47ac07c0a5e79aca28d8580.jpg

 

Aerina: I have no doubt that he kept going... don't worry...

Aerina: I'll get my revenge...

Aerina: I don't suppose you have any spare clothes do you? I feel a bit silly sitting here like this?

Raynn: I do actually! Sorry, I should've offered sooner... Don't know if they will fit okay...

Aerina: Thanks! Oh, I didn't tell you my name... I'm Aerina by the way

ScreenShot1494.jpg.adb640c27ff50c5ec48552b3b4dcdd85.jpg

 

Raynn's jaw drops as she hears the name...

Aerina: What's wrong? Have we met before?

Raynn: *Shocked* That can't be... di... did you're mother move away when you were young?

Aerina: *Pause*... She did.... to Morrowind... With my Sist...

Aerina: Astrid!?

Astrid: Sister? Is that really you?!

Spoiler

Aerina: I haven't seen you in 20 years! You were just a baby when you and mother left!

Astrid: She told me I had a sister but I never though I would bump into you like this!

Astrid: Sorry about the fake name, Mum told me not to use my real name with strangers.

ScreenShot1502.jpg.73341551cfaec8e20f1a036d17dab1b6.jpg

 

Aerina: I thought I'd never see you again, I was only five when you left.

Astrid: That means you must be 25 then?

Aerina: And you 21... gods...

Aerina: Dad always said you two had to leave to stay safe... I still don't understand why?

Astrid: Funny... Mum said the same thing for why you didn't come with us...

ScreenShot1499.jpg.8c00dc2ecfe19591d82bab822d74c485.jpg

 

Aerina and Astrid hug each other with teary eyes as they move next to each other.

Aerina: I didn't thank you for bringing me back by the way... I'm just sorry you had to see me that way...

Astrid: Don't be silly... I'm glad I came along when I did...

Aerina: So what brought you to Skyrim... Get bored of the ash wastes?

Astrid: With all the alchemy ingredients there! no way! I'm actually here to meet with dad... Mum told me to give him a message...

Aerina: Oh? Well you're not far... he's should be in Falkreath... he's going to be so happy to meet you.

Aerina: *Giggle* Now can I really borrow those clothes from you?

Astrid: Right... sorry

Aerina puts on the clothes handed to her and rests down for the night

Spoiler

Aerina: Oooh yeah... they're a bit tight... but a lot better than nothing.

Aerina: I will take you down to Falkreath in the morning... My heads still feeling a little fuzzy so I'm going to get some sleep.

Astrid: Of course... with what you've been through you need to take it steady...

Spoiler

Aerina has a hazy dream about what happened to her... But this dream is strange to her, it's as if she is actually there watching

Astrid: Aerina Wake up...

Aerina's eyes open as she realises it was only a dream... but she has a strange headache...

Astrid: Sorry to wake you... Just thought you might want some breakfast before it's cold

Aerina: Hmm... Oh thank you...

Aerina sits up next to Astrid

Astrid: *Concerned* You have the look of someone who didn't sleep well.

Aerina: *Distracted* Hmm?... Oh yeah... bad dream

Astrid: About what happened yesterday?

Aerina: ... Yeah...

Astrid: I must say... You're taking it rather well

Aerina: I suppose I have to... if you let it... things like that will just wear you down...

Aerina: I guess you just can't shake of the subconscious side of things...

Astrid remains silent in contemplation...

The two finish up breakfast and Aerina suggests heading down to Falkreath to meet their father.

Aerina: Shall we get going then?

Astrid: Sure... if you feel up to it that is?

Aerina: Yeah... I could do with a walk...

Aerina stretches out... clicking every bone in her shoulders as Astrid straps a sword to her waist.

Astrid: So what's Dad like?

Aerina: *Smiling* Your typical Nord... Blonde hair... blue eyes... long beard

Astrid: *Laughs* Wonder where we get it from then hey?

Aerina: Not the beard I hope....

Astrid: *Chuckle*... I'm glad I'm with you though Sis...

Aerina pauses for a moment

Aerina: Me too sis... me too...

Hi guys...

 

Thanks for sticking with this one... A lot of reading once again...

 

I was going to make this part longer but didn't realise how many bloody shots i'd actually taken so there's a bit of a backlog for story stuff atm...

 

Hope you enjoyed it... thanks again.

 

 

Aerina
