Chapitre 41: 5.14:The Way Of The Voice
All three, Darius, Lydia, and Uthgerd were wearing the steel armor, looking like king's guards, they had just left Riverwood and were making their way to Helgen.
But why Helgen? It was so Darius could loot some corpse, some disgraceful act to earn gold, but not as disgraceful as Griffith getting backshots for money.
.

Having not encountered anything dangerous, Lydia was relieved, while Darius and Uthgerd were looking for a battle, for different reasons, of course.
Uthgerd, because she hated being ordered around, so she had to let her anger out somewhere else, and Darius, because he was bored.
But, their wishes could not come true, as they shortly reached Helgen. Uthgerd and Lydia were in shock at the destruction caused by the dragon even when they had already heard rumors of how much destruction the dragon had caused to Helgen, they were still surprised seeing it for themselves.
Darius told them to wait there, as he was going down alone, and they might not like what he was going down to do.
Uthgerd agreed in a blink of an eye, not having to be with him, even for a moment, was a blessing for her. Lydia would've protested if Uthgerd had not already agreed, as it was her duty to be with him, but thinking that she'd be alone with him, and he, for a fact would remind her of the embarrassing incident of last night.
So, she agreed with him as well, so they roamed above as Darius opened Helgen's keep with the key he took from Sonia, and headed down.
Entering the cave-like area beneath Helgen, Darius found no dead bodies, what was left were ashes, it seemed someone had deliberately burned those bodies, as they were stacked upon one another.
He walked further in, and what he saw shocked him, the lever bridge that was barred due to the wall falling on it was clear of the rubble that was blocking it.
'Did more Stormclocks come through after we had left?' Darius thought to himself.
As he walked deeper inside the cave, he found dead spiders, their bodies burned to a crisp, "Fuck!" Darius screamed.
"My loot!!!!"
.
.
.
It wouldn't have been more than 20 minutes, before Darius was back, knowing that everything was looted or burned below, he came back up, a bit disheartened.
Uthgerd looking at his face remembered a boy in Whiterun, who had made the same face when his Sweet Roll had fallen on the ground and before he could pick it up, someone stepped on it.
Remembering, the somehow hysterical event she laughed out loud, much to Darius's chagrin.
Pfftt!!
Hahaha!!
He glared at her and gave her a cynical smile, which shut her up for a moment, but knowing he was already going to make her work her ass off, she decided to double down and began laughing again.
Bahaha!!!
Lydia covered her mouth with her hand stifling her laughter.

A/N[From Purple to Green]
Darius was leading them, and they quietly followed. The path Darius found was going to be quite cold, as it was covered with 2 feet deep snow, but cold to a Nord is like water to a fish.
And all three happen to be one, except one, who was an exception.
They followed the path ahead, but there was a problem, just a few steps ahead of them was a camp, a camp of Falkreath's Stormcloacks.
'I don't think they'll attack, will they?' Darius thought.
As they moved toward Orphan Rock, They came across an abandoned camp of Stormcloacks. The camp was completely run through, and nothing of value was found. Darius felt even more dejected than before, but he put that matter aside as a possibility came to mind.
'Are these the same guys that came to rescue Ulfric?' He questioned himself, he stiffened and looked around, Lydia and Uthgerd were on their toes seeing him suddenly be so observant, Darius sighed soon after finding they were all alone, 'Well, they'll be in Windhelm already,' He thought and decided to let his mind be at ease.
They moved past the camp, the surroundings getting colder and whiter as they moved forward, crossing the ravine path leading them to the orange-leaf trees. The sudden shift in their environment felt surreal, but it was welcomed nonetheless.
They walked the mud path, now surrounded by orange-leaf trees, instead of snow hills, the leaf fell and flew past them along with a cool breeze, Soon they passed a Guidepost, telling them which way Ivarstead was, but Darius didn't need to look at it, because of the system, so they maintained their pace.
.

Inside Ivarstead:
They stood at the bridge over the river that ran beside Ivarstead, a man stood on the bridge talking with an elf, a wood elf specifically.
They walked past them when the bald man called, "Hey, big fella and the ladies!" Darius with a small smile, turned to him, his mind racing with ideas on how to empty this guy's pockets.
"Yes, what is it?" Darius asked.
"Passing through on your way to High Hrothgar? About to make a delivery myself," He said, walking up to them, now standing at the distance of two steps from the three.
Darius sighed in his head, 'Just say what you want to,' He thought as the guy in front was going all over the place except to the point, 'You're gonna pay me for playing along as well,' He thought.
"What types of Deliveries?" Darius asked, but stopped Klimmek from answering as he added, "Fishes and Fresh items for the Greybeards, right?" He said.
"Aah- Yes, exactly that, as Greybeard don't wonder out much," Kilmmek said.
"So... what's the problem??" Darius asked with a pause.
"Well, the Trouble is, my legs aren't what they used to be and climbing the 7,000 steps takes its toll,"
"So, you want me to do the delivery?" Darius asked.
"Only if you want to," Kilmmek.
"How much??" Darius asked. The sudden forwardness surprised even Lydia and Uthgerd, 'Greedy bastard,' Uthgerd thought.
"Uhm, well I can pay you 200 Septims," Kilmmek told him.
Darius turned around and started walking away, leaving Lydia, Uthgerd, and Kilmmek dumbfounded, Lydia and Uthgerd quickly ran behind him, after a few steps.
Kilmmek shouted, "500!" Darius stopped in his tracks. "What about the troll up there?" Darius asked him.
'Troll' Lydia and Uthgerd had that word stuck in their heads, Kilmmek gulped down his saliva and remembered something.
