TheQahnaarin
Son of Skyrim
Mine happened today on my current character. For the first time since one of my very first characters I was using Lydia regularly and got pretty attached until I got to the main quest in blackreach. After getting down to blackreach for mostly RPing reasons I told her to go home at the entrance cause I wanted to get the elder scroll and face alduin alone and so I ran for the tower. I guess she got caught up fighting Falmer and that instead of leaving, and when she never showed up and dragonsreach, I even bought breeze home hoping she'd show up there. Nothing, not even a letter of inheritance. I was pretty sad, there was no sign of her for the longest time. After finishing the main quest and the main quest of dawnguard, I was going through dawnguard radiant quests and Florentiius gave me the rescue one. And who should it be I'd be rescuing but Lydia!! I've never been so happy and surprised at skyrim or any video game before. Not only did I get her back, but i got to rescue her too. Today was a good day
