Chapter 3
knock knock
After the event that took place in Riverwood Syum and Vhal helped the other villages clean up the damage that the cultist caused. As a Syum drags the body to the pile a guard approached him.
Guard: You there! do you know anything that's just happened here?
Syum Looked at the guard coldly
Syum: No...i don't.
Guard: Hmph.... what about you elf know anything that happened here?
Vhal shook her head.
The guard walks away in suspicion
Vhal: Shouldnt we tell them about what that robed guy said?
Syum: Who's going to believe some kind of prophecy that a cat and an elf got from a dead cultist?
Vhal: We should at least try.
Syum: Aren't you worried about what will happen to us if we try?
Vhal: I'm even more worried about what will happen if we don't.
There was a long silence between them.
Syum: look Vhal we may not be friends but as an acquaintance know that no one is going to believe that some kind of massive threat is coming
Vhal: why not?...the oblivion crisis was enough for them to believe or the dragons returning.
Syum: Skyrim was able to push back the Daedra as for the dragons there hasn't been a single one since the defeat of Alduin.
Vhal: How do you know about Alduin?
Syum did not reply and walked away.
Vhal: where are you going?
Syum: I'm going home.
Vhal stood up from the tree stump and blocked Syum's path.
Vhal: Wait i'm coming with you.
Syum: What? no!
Vhal: Why not? besides i need a more private area to study my research.
Syum: what makes you think my place is a good place to study.
Vhal: well i want to work somewhere where i wont be criticized for doing necromancy or sacrificing people in which both i do not do!
Syum(sigh) fine but you live under my rules.
Vhal: Your a thief you don't follow rules.
Syum:(smirk) true. come on pack up lets go.
Vhal jumped in excitement.
Half an hour later.
Vhal and Syum are making there way to the house.
Vhal: (sing) our hero our hero claims a warriors heart, i tell you i tell the dragon born comes.
Syum: That's a good voice you got there.
Vhal: I may be a dwemer researcher but I'm also a bard.
Syum: your with the bard college.
Vhal: Actually i was taught by another bard i can never remember her name but her named started with an M.
Syum: Interesting... aahh where here.
Vhal took one look at the house.
Vhal: By the toes of Talos, this is your house?
Syum: yup welcome to lakeview Manor or whats left of it.
The house was not what Vhal thought it was. The house was old and corroded to oblivion. The garden was not tended to so the plants and vegetables would die.
Vhal: I guess is livable i think. why havent you fixed this place?
Syum: we never had enough money.
Vhal: we?
Syum: (smile) I'll tell you about it later lets get inside.
The two walked inside to find that there was nothing the house except two beds on opposites sides of the entrance and a cupboard full of food.
Syum: Make yourself at home i guess.
Vhal: Ok.
Vhal got a book from her bag she then laid the back at the end of the bed and looked at Syum.
Vhal: what?
Syum smiled. suddenly there was a knock on the door. Syum looked at the door in shock.
Vhal: You don't think anyone followed us?
Syum: in the woods anythings possible.
He walks towards the door slowly as it was still knocking. He then reached for the handle and opened it. Opening the door revealed a Thalmor justicar and three Thalmor soldiers behind him.
Justicar: Greeting sir, do you own this manor?
Syum: Yes i do...can i help you with anything?
Justicar: yes, witnesses saw you and a elf girl leaving Riverwood shortly after the attack. We are here to bring you in for questioned.
Syum: I assure you we had nothing to do with the attack.
The Justicar noticed a necklace on Syum's neck. It was a shape of the khajiit crest with talos symbol in the center.
Justicar: who gave you that necklace?
Syum: What's it to you.
The Justicar frowned.
Justicar: I'm afraid you and your friend are coming with us.
Syum: I don't think so.
Justicar: That wasn't a request.
Silence fell between them.suddenly Syum rolled out of the way as one of the soldiers tried to restrain him. The other soldier swung at him with a sword Syum countered it by dogging it grabbing his arm and breaking it. He then picked up the the sword that he dropped and sliced his throat. The soldier fell to the ground as he gurgled his last air. Syum stood ready for the two soldiers to strike. Suddenly Syum was hit on the back by a lightning bolt. stunned the soldiers grabbed Syum by both arms so that he could not fight back. The Justicar pulled out a dagger.
Justicar: goodbye Khajiit.
Before the Justicar could deliver the final blow a loud noise broke the silence. One soldier released Syums left hand. Syum picked up the dagger from the corpse and stabbed the other soldier in the chest the soldier fell dead. Syum stood up and pointed the dagger at the Justicar.
Vhal: Here!
Syum turned and grabbed the flintlock that Vhal had pass to him.
Vhal: Aim for the head and pull the trigger.
Justicar: Very well then kill me like any Nord dog would do.
Syum: no.
Justicar and
Vhal: what?!
Syum: Because as long as your alive you can pass a message to your superiors.
Justicar: Th... thank you. what message should i send to them?
Syum: Tell them that if they send more agents after me and my friend ill be coming for them.
Justicar: Yes right away.
The Justicar left the area in order to pass the message.
Vhal: Did you really mean all those words?
Syum: No i was going for intimidation, we should probably leave the manor by tomorrow.
