Epilogue

It was several days of lying asleep on his bed at the The Frozen Hearth before Khalor finally awoke. He laid there quietly enjoying his long forgotten past. Names and faces circulated throughout his head as events of his life reminded him of who he really was.

Khalor. A native of Valenwood and it's city of Haven, on the southern shore, just near the border of Elsweyr. And what's more, he had family there when he had left. Or rather, when he had been forced out. It seemed that he had put the skills he was apt with to crime very early on in his life, and when his misdeeds were discovered, Khalor was given an ultimatum. Turn yourself in or leave.

He now felt regret that he had chosen to leave, rather then repent for his crimes. And he felt lonely. All the family he'd left behind over something so unremarkable. His mind was set on where his journey would take him next, and he arose from his bed to find Marcurio.

Marc was sitting in a chair by the fire, with a tankard in hand. He didn't see Khalor approaching and jumped in surprise when the Bosmer sat down next to him. "By the Eight, don't surprise me like that, elf!" Marc clapped him on the back in delight, "Good to see your finally awake!"

"How long was I out for, Marc? My joints are quite stiff..."
"Three days. I was getting uneasy, but Aranea assured me that you were alright." He paused. "Did it work? Can you remember everything?"

Khalor nodded. "Aye, it's all in there. Everything. I'm not proud of all of it, either, but it could be worse."

"You alright, K? You seem...distracted."

"Just thinking on what Azura said. She gave me one last warning before I blacked out. 'Do not act impulsively. It will be your undoing'."

"She probably means the Elder Scroll. You were considering to use it, weren't you?"

"I was, actually. That must be it. We need to get rid of that bloody thing. Any ideas?"

"The college might take it," said Marcurio. "They are always interested in those sorts of things. Urag would probably squeal in delight if we offered him an Elder Scroll."

"Good thinking," said Khalor. "But we something else important to address, Marc. I want to return to Valenwood. I've made my amends here in Skyrim, but I still have more to do back home. It feels like the right thing to do."

Marc said nothing. It was now he who looked...distracted. Apparently lost in thought at this latest development in their adventures. Khalor began to worry. Marc had been through so much with him, and had always stuck with it. A true friend in Khalor's time of needs, and someone he could always count on. Khalor didn't want to leave Skyrim knowing he'd lost one of his only friends for his own selfish endeavors. But, the silence was unnerving. He decided to take his leave for the time being, and head up to the college.

Urag was indeed delighted, when Khalor offered him the Elder Scroll. He even paid quite a sum for it, ensuring Khalor the means for his long journey. With nothing left to do, he headed back to the inn. Hopefully Marc would be ready to talk to him about it...

------------------------------------------------

As he re-entered the Frozen Hearth, he found his friend still sitting silently by the fire, but the tankard was now set down on the floor. Khalor sat back down in the chair next to him, and was about to address Marc, but was beaten to the punch, "Well, I suppose there's only one thing left for it, then," said Marcurio. He looked back up at Khalor, "When do we head out?"

EXCELLENT! Will you be writing them in Valenwood? That would be fun!

I'm considering doing that in ESO, but not sure about the time jump. And the lack of Marc. It'd have to be all head canon.

Thanks. :) It felt like the right time to wrap him up, and move off of the console Skyrim for good. I had fun with his story, so he may return at some point.

He's nudged me before, and I can see him nudging me again.

Can you two-box in ESO? I used to three box in WoW - two clients open on my secondary screen (for "followers" - my other accounts with toons) and primary screen with Jae or whichever other toon I was running - so I didn't have to deal with all the "social crap" and having to mess with people I didn't know in instances....

I don' know enough about ESO to know how - or if - it would work. But your rig should be up for it if you can do it - it's a lot better than the machine I three boxed WoW on!

Hmm, I'm not sure if you can. I have ESO for the PS4, anyway. I think I'm going to leave it there, for times when I can't use the PC.

Ah. Yeah, no can do on anything but PC. I'm not at all sure you can have more than one account - though I had seven in WoW, and five in RIFT.

I dabbled briefly in RF Online, and you could have multiple accounts running in the beginnings of that game. My brother was way more into it than I was, and used to have 6 accounts running. 5 mining ore in Crag Mine, and the sixth actually playing.
