Pride Of The North [Chapter 2] - Old Friendship
South of Rorikstead, on the edge of the Reach
Elynea: My village was burned on the grounds when a Thalmor was hidden.
So many innocent souls...
I'm ashamed, but I have nowhere to go, maybe Analande can help me while I've get to compose myself.
By the Divines, what happened here?!
Forsworns!
Nanwen! Oh no!
Later, in the Manor
Halbora: Ma'am! It's so good you came, the mistress was seriously injured!
Elynea: Take me to her!
Analande: Elynea, I-I can't move...
Elynea: Don't be afraid, this spell will help!
Analande: Thank you...
Analande: Where is Nanwen? I heard he went after the Forsworns, but he hasn't come back since...
Elynea: I'm sorry, but he's dead...
Analande: No, it can't be... he's so strong, he can't leave me here! What will happen to me without him?!
Elynea: I know it's very difficult now, but you have to calm down. With the help of magic, you are out of danger, but you must rest!
Analande: I don't want to calm down! He was my life, I...
Elynea: Ana!!!
She fainted...
Halbora, lock the doors, I'll be back soon. Don't let her get up, she's still very weak...
Halbora: And if the Forsworns come back?!
Elynea: Don't worry, they won't!
Later
Elynea: So these scumbags camped here...
In prison I understood, I have to release my anger... Maybe I will succeed again...
I'm gonna destroy you all!
What happened to my beloved land? Stormcloaks, Forsworns, the Dominion are also pushing further north...
I thought nothing would ever change in that little village... Reality kicked the door on me...
Rosethorn Manor
Elynea: You are safe now, for now...
Halbora: The gods sent me, madam, I thought all...
Elynea: Shhh. Ana, How is she?
Halbora: She is sleeping. In addition to her injuries, she must have been a very big shock.
Elynea: They were a couple for decades, Nanwen's death may never get over her. Now go get some rest and I'll look after her.
Halbora: Thank you.
Few days later
Analande: W-where am I?
Elynea: In your home. Everything is fine now.
Analande: How could everything be okay after this? I wanted to spend my life with him...
Elynea: You can't give up Ana. Not here, not now.
Analande: I feel like nothing makes sense anymore.
Elynea: This is completely understandable, but over time, when the pain subsides, you have to live your life.
Analande: Those filthy natives, I'll kill them all!
Elynea: They don't cause problems anymore..
Analande: I should have gone with you and had my revenge!
Elynea: Your revenge is to survive.
Analande: Hmph...
Elynea: I hate to ask you about this, but how could they attack you so unexpectedly? I thought the Manor was well guarded.
Analande: Most of the guard were mercenaries, but most of them joined the Civil War armies because they were promised better money. They ungrateful bastards!
Elynea: You can't live like this here for long, we should ask for help.
Analande: I don't trust anyone after this, I don't ask for help from the nords anymore!
Elynea: I came here via Rorikstead, but everything seemed fine there. Maybe you could be safe there too...
Analande: The Forsworn raid the area from time to time, but they always leave Rorikstead untouched. They say there's something they're afraid of...
Elynea: Since when do you believe the rumours?
Analande: Facts are stubborn things. I don't want to interact with people anymore...
Elynea: I'm trying to ask for help, I did deal with those who attacked you, but word gets out quickly, and I'm not enough against a larger army alone...
Lock the doors, I'll be back as soon as I can!
Is it really true? Is Rorikstead hiding dark secrets?
Still, my only chance to tell someone...
Frostfruit Inn
Erik, The Slayer: Come on in beautiful girl! Here you will find everything a tired traveler could wish for!
Elynea: Thank you. I really need help. We need people for hire.
Erik: What can I do for you? I will also follow you to Oblivion in exchange for some septim.
Elynea: Are you enthusiastic, but not a little inexperienced?
Erik: It's true that I'm a novice, but I'm tough and strong! Try it and see, you won't be disappointed! Dragonborn believed in me and now I'm here!
Elynea: The Dragonborn? What do you know about her?
Erik: She helped convince my father that I was not destined to be a farmer. I wanted to be a fighter and she supported me. Her name is Aeliana and she is beautiful like you...
Elynea: I'm blushing already... Maybe you can prove me, but there are only two of us.
Elynea tells what happened at the Manor.
Erik: We didn't know anything about that. The truth is that neither the guard nor the population cares about anyone but themselves.
Elynea: We can't wait here forever while another mercenary makes a mistake, I have to go back as soon as possible.
Erik: I'll go with you.
Elynea: Ana, I tried to get help, but... Oh, I didn't know you had guests.
Analande: You may remember my nieces, she is Kilisia and Laanari. I know few more skilled Altmer mages than them. They will take care of the protection, we don't need a human...
Erik: I think they don't welcome me here and I would just be a burden, I'm going back...
Elynea: It's already late, wait for the morning. I called you here, I don't want you to get into trouble because of me.
That night
Kilisia: Our aunt Ana told us a lot about you when we were children.
Elynea: I remember you, but you were really small, so I didn't recognize you.
Laanari: Come drink with us! The way I see it, you should relax a little!
Elynea: I think you are right. Cheers!
A little later
Elynea: There's something wrong with this drink. I hardly drank any of it, but my body is swimming in intoxication...
I feel like I'm floating...!
Kilisia: It's okay, let yourself go!
Laanari: This is going to be a magical night...!
Elynea: What are they doing?!
This is not allowed, they...
Their lips as they touch my skin...!
AAAAHHHH!!! More, more, more...
The next day
Elynea: Ana, we need to talk!
Analande: Did something happen?
Elynea: Your nieces mixed something in my drink last night! I fell into a complete trance, and they took out their desires on me!
Analande: Maybe you didn't enjoy it?
Elynea: It's not about that! The point here is that they were taken advantage of me! Don't you think that's a little scary?
Analande: I've known for a long time that they're both attracted to girls, and I know that you've also had dealings with women.
Elynea: It's not about who is attracted to whom. I was recently raped by soldiers, they played with me like a rag doll, I was their object!!! This almost happened again yesterday!
Analande: I didn't know that dear, please don't be angry. I will punish them, according to its order and manner.
Elynea: I can't stand this. I have to go now...
Analande: Please don't. Stay with me. Grief is still very close and I can't go through it alone. I promise they won't go near you again, but please stay.
Elynea: I don't know...
Analande: I have always loved you and your family, the bond between us is so old, only with you do I have a chance to get over what happened.
Elynea: It's fine, I'll stay for a while, but only because of our past.
Analande: Thank you, I am so grateful!
Analande: I remember your friend, that nord, he left early this morning.
Elynea: I thought at least he would say goodbye...
Analande: He wasn't one of us, and he could sense it. He wouldn't have been able to do much on his own anyway...
Elynea: Maybe...
Days later
Halbora: Help! Somebody help me!
Elynea: What happened? By the Gods!
How did this get in here?!
Elynea: Are you hurt?
Halbora: Fortunately no, thank you.
How did a full grown Chaurus Hunter get in here? Is the magical protection of those two bitches worth that much?
The basement...
Ana disappears for days and We don't know where is she...
Maybe it will be revealed now...
Auri-El have mercy on us...!
Analande: Now you're falling asleep...
Elynea: Where am I?! What is happening to me?! HMMMMMPFFFF!!!!
Kilisia: She will be the first perfect subject, the mature offspring will be much stronger than any before!
Analande: I'm sorry Elynea, but I had to do this. For me and us, for the survival of our species.
I can't let the cursed people take everything from us and shame us! Recently, my spouse...tomorrow everyone will be die!
Elynea: You're completely crazy! Get this worm off me!!!! AAAA!!!!
Analande: I had to make a sacrifice. That victim is you. We have no other hope...
Elynea: No...
No...
NOOO!!!!
Laanari: Her power keeps growing, I can't stop her...!
Elynea: I ran away from the soldiers, slaughtered the Forsworns by myself, yet you underestimate me! I can't let you continue this sick shit. Nanwen is rolling in his grave, ashamed of what you've become, and I'm ashamed too!
You were once a friend of my family! But you threw away senses in exchange for madness! That's why you must die!
Damn it! Teleport spell!
But one of them won't run away...
Erik: Is anyone still alive here?! I'm in the back!
Elynea: So you didn't leave...I wish you had. I'm so sorry to drag you into this...
Erik: It didn't look like they just started this whole thing. They were confident and determined. I guess they meant me for dinner, or worse...!
Elynea: I simply don't understand how this could happen. Analande wasn't evil, she would never do that. But I have to find her before she claims more victims...
To be continued...
