Act I
Gwynolda's Daily life
Chapter 2
A few days passed since the knight came, she offered to teach me and help my quest of knighthood.
She gave me a few books and asked me to finish them before she returns.
The books are mostly about worship of Lady Dibella in Tamriel, ones which are not from Skyrim.
I guess knowing the differences are important to avoid mistakens as acting wrongly on the people as future knight,
As each province has their own ideas and image of Lady Dibella.
Outside that, she gave me a list of the previous Sybills of Skyrim, not sure why.
A piece of history? Or just to show me that, we don't have no Sybill right now..
However one of the name's got my attention, "Saoirse"
who doesn't have anything written down.
Almost as if she is erased
But enough of history and study..
I struggle to keep my mind on it
It is hard to forget the few good things in Markarth, letting it go with everything along with the bad..
Memories of my life they are still haunting me .
Leaving was easy, moving on is harder
I had someone years ago, before things went bad, lately she is on my mind a lot.
She lived in the worst part of Markarth..in the Warrens
I often visited it, to help the ones in need, heal the sick
Of course the latter just worsened my relationship with the Temple, as they refused to heal the Reachmens in the lower districts
They charge for the services, what the people living here couldn't afford
I couldn't agree with it and behind their back, I came here to help.
But in the end, I was caught and punished for it.
Temple forbid me to do anything anymore here
I was only allowed to visit my girlfriend here
But it was heartbreaking to let everyone suffer and forced to watch it as I walked here.
People often asked about me, greeted me, even if I could not help anymore.
Mostly about mundane things or how are the things between me and her
Asking blessings from me, only some of them.
It was just one of the small things on I could do, even the smallest things can distract them
From seeing the misery of the Warrens.
Warrens used to be mines back in the day of the incident, one of the city's silver mine.
Now it's been rebuilt as home for the poor, orphans and workers from the Reachmens of the city, since the incident, people are forced to live here.
It would been my life, without the temple, even with my treatment, I was better off..
And there we are, place my girlfriend used to live
She used to live in one of the "houses" in Warrens.
My my, the prettiest sister of Dibella visiting me, it isn't Gwynolda?
Haha.. funny, you know I'm not the prettiest there, it's been while love
For me you are, don't tell me you find those nords pretty? Should I be jealous?
They have a few who are not nord
Her name was Muriel
You mean yourself? For me you are the prettiest.
She was my first love
I'm happy too see you really, I admit, I missed you
I missed you too! I would come earlier.. but I was punished again..
For what this time? I swear they punish you for everything nowadays
I know right?! It was for the reach markings you gave me and that I healed people without payments.
They said I make political statements with it and worsens the standing of the temple..
That is stupid, you are Reachmen like us, you are allowed to express it and help those who need, it's your job.
Nords..
They also refusing their duty to help the weak and sick and punish those who do it!
I often complained about the temple to her, while I listened to her problems from the warrens, guards, work.
We listened to each other and comforted, it was easier to handle things due to that
So what was your punishment this time?
They made me to clean their feet for a month.
That's it?
Well outside the usual self whipping, but this time in front of them and not going out for a week.
I feel they getting more stranger as they seem to enjoy hurting me.. or humiliate me with newer things.
Hmmmm, it sounds a bit odd. Based on what you tell me, these do not really seem the way Lady Dibella handles things.
I know...
What about you? How are the works in the mine?
On my side?
It was really my comfort to spend time with her, I enjoyed every minute of it.
What happened in the last week,
work was hard and tough and the Nords raised the amount they expect daily again..
Since the Silverbloods are in charge, things are worser for us in the mines.
They do not punish people for working slow yet, but who can trust them
give them a few month and they do the same as every cursed silver mine they own
Silverbloods? A new clan? These clans all sound the same to me
Yeah, rich Nordic clan, who lately got a lot of mines in the past twenty years, they are the same as others, just more cutthroat, they got quite confident since they got the prisoners, they mine them along with us..
But enough of the bad Gwynolda, we are not here for listening how miserable others treat us!, it's our time!
You are right love
Let's have some fun, been a while. I miss your gentle touch.
Do you wanna do it in the dirt?
No, sweetie in our usual place, but you can take off that robe a bit for me, tease me a bit!
Fine fine.. but anything more outside love
You're looking gorgeous!
Are you happy now?
Yes, I am, now take the rest off!
.....
You know what, let just go outside, it is dark now.
We often hid in the dark, outside the Warrens,
when it was night
We just sat there, looking at the sky, the city was quiet as always and we enjoyed the peace
It was just all ours, without anyone bothering us.
Do you remember how we met? Time really flies
Yes I do.. few months ago in the Warrens
You were the first person who really helped me, healed me, fostered me, without you I wouldn't be here.
But why are you bringing it up?
I often think of the future, you know I don't plan spend my life here in the dirt. I plan to leave the city in the close future
Where would you go?
I don't know yet, maybe to the tribes, maybe to Karthwasten
I see..
What about you Gwynolda?
Let's leave together then!
I hoped you'd say that, I could not leave you behind
I can be a priestess in Karthwasten or Old Hroldan too, I'm not stuck with this temple, you know . I'm sure they would be happy to get rid me
I hope not, you are one of their few healers, I fear they might not let you slip that easily! [is that right?]
I'm sure I will find a way, they can't stop us and our love! We settle down first outside of Markarth. Rent a house together, build a garden to practice for farming! I take my knight oath, so I can protect you and our future family! And..
They will extinguish the fires soon. Before we spend the entire night talking about the future plans
Yes..
We should enjoy the serenity of the night together while we can.
So why don't start kissing it? I know you like it.
Kiss it?!
Come on, don't be shy.
You are mean you know! (giggles)
(chuckles)
Fine, Fine..
Now it's my turn, relax and enjoy the art of Lady Dibella.
Ohhhh? What's on your mind?
Wait and you see!
So this is..
You came faster today, I guess I was better than last time.
You are quite confident today.. really, someone taught you well
Well I have a good teacher.
It's my turn right?
Maybe later, I rather would just enjoy the night and cuddle with you
We embraced each other in our lay and watched the sky together til the sun risen..
Hoping for a future together life, but things didn't worked out.
Not much point to think on her or my past right now, outside to make myself sad...
Sadly it is over now.
I should get ready for my training, my goal to be a knight of the Lily
she will be back soon.
And see where is these lessons going..
End
Author's notes
Ohhh dear ?
This chapter was a lot harder to write than expected, especially the dialogues
And I fixed up my grammar and structure a bit.
Right, it is all jpeg now, so hopefully it loads faster ?
