Morning's light #14


I stood in the snow, with the wind blowing at my back, staring out at the sunrise. The sun's ray's playing in the ash from Red mountain in the distance, It was incredibly beautiful. I shivered in the cold, I would see about getting a fur cloak or wrap before leaving the village this day.

I heard the crunch of snow under boots and smiled as I felt the warmth of Ash's arms envelop me in his cloak. The heat coming from his body welcome , his presence more so.

"Such heavy thoughts for so early a morning." the warmth of his breath tickled as it passed my ear. "A worry shared is a burden halved."

"Hermaeus Mora, that was his realm I was in, but this Miraak has dominion over it or great power in it. This worries me, I fear that Ole Mora will interfere and our Lord will have to give more of a presence and we know he does not like to do that."

"I think, no.. He would not send us against a Deadric Prince all unknowing. Their is something, some wedge that is between them that can be used, we will find it or it will present itself. For now we will go see about this Word of Power that the Shaman told us of. Anything that will lessen Miraak's power is something we need to cultivate."

"Your right, it's a beautiful morning and we have much to do, but first".. and I turned in his arms, we didn't needs words for a long moment in time.

As I absorbed the word from the wall the Shaman had sent us to, I found I had only a base idea of what the word meant and would have to meditate on it.

I was sad and furious about the dragon that had been attacking some of the un-dead in the ruin's that surrounded the Word Wall, when it attacked Ash and I we had no choice but to kill him. Before his soul could pass to the Immortal Plan, Miraak showed and absorbed it.

I caste one of my most powerful fire spells at him, but it passed through him and did no harm. He looked in my direction and though he was wearing a mask, I could feel the smirk on his face and hear the snicker... as he taunted me to come and get him.

"Ash, I wish to head to Raven Rock and spend a couple days there, I would really like to rent a house to ourselves. I need to meditate and I need some advice from our Lord. We will go and talk to the Shaman and get the location's of the other Stone's he wishes me to cleanse, I will try the words on the stone nearest the Village and see if my imperfect understand will work." He nodded at me and we set out.

A week later we entered Raven Rock for the fourth time in as many days. The only way we could rent a house was to do some favor's for those in charge. I was tired and pretty out of sorts, two more dragon's had attacked us, both times Miraak came and absorbed their souls and I could do nothing but stand and watch and weep afterwords.

After getting the key to our new home, it seems I had "bought" it with the favors done, we went and got provisions and went to see what needed done. The rest of the day was spent cleaning and putting our thing's up.

I was making the bed when I felt Ash's warm arm's wrap around me, " A nice soft bed, privacy and hope." His voice a rumble against my spine, sending shivers all the way to my toes.

"Hope?"

"Yes, the hope that you aren't to tired to see if the bed will hold up to more than sleeping." I chuckled as I turned in his arm's then grabbed his hand pulling him as I walked backwards to the bed.

"Well we will just have to test that out, won't we?"

As my leg's bumped into the bed frame, Ash leaned down, the dim light dancing in his eyes. The world and all it's troubles went away.. Ash's lip's hot on my cool skin, sending shivers down to my curled up toes. The sound of our breathing and the creak of rope being stretched to it's limits the only sound for a very long time.

Ash's soft laughter in my ear stirred me out of the pleasant drift I had been in. My head on his chest, our hand's entwined on my breast, I could feel his other hand playing with the end of my braid.

"What is so amusing?"

"Huh.. we aren't on the floor, so at least we know the bed will hold up." I rolled over and then knelt straddling his hips.. leaning forward I nipped him on the chin.

"Well we aren't on the floor, yet, but the night is still young." and it was and the bed held out, at least for this night. I drifted into sleep wrapped in Ash's arms as the Sun came up in the morning and the birds sang their song's.

Lovely, sis! The last time I did the whole of Dragonborn, I only had Miraak steal one soul - I was surprised, because the first time I did it, he got every one!
