章節 53: Chapter 53
We walk through the small passage, for more than 5 minutes, luckily the two imperial girls know the Candlelight spell so we don't have to go in total darkness, as always I go to the front, followed by Svalhild and the Stormcloak that she was carrying who after taking her potions she is better off walking on her own, carrying a bow.
After us come all the wounded, being carried by an imperial each, and at the end Kurumi and Kuroka, who seem to be more calmer, well we are already a long way from Helgen, so it is normal, according to my map we are about 4 or 5 km from Helgen, the only bad thing is that we have been here for almost an hour, and the person in the mountains has not moved from there, I hope he is not seriously injured....
After a while we arrived at a passage like the game, thanks to the skeleton that is on some rocks in front of us, I quickly took the potion and the bag with coins in the place and advanced to the right, seeing a little further ahead some iron bars broken and the exit of this tunnel, after that I turn left, going up to the small dirt platforms on the right side and we walked a few more minutes...
"We are lost right?" One of the Stormcloaks girls says, making everyone stop, turning to look at her and then back at me.
"No." is the only thing I say while I continue another 50 meters, until I stop in front of the correct passage that leads to the spiders and I turn to see them. "Are you coming or not?"
"You can accept it, no one will blame you, after all the tunnels and passages we went through it's easy to get lost." Svalhild says, maybe trying to defend me? As we walk along the passage, that it begins to slope a bit, taking us down.
"Yes, don't worry Leonhard, to tell the truth very few know where these tunnels lead to, the important thing is that we get away from the dragon and with the amount of food we bring we can survive several days here while we find the exit." Hadvar talks next, and from what I can see no one really blames me for anything and they don't stop following me either.... well except Kurumi and Kuroka both of them just stare at me, hmmm? Kuroka seems a little stiff....
Further on we turn to the right and we see light at the end of the tunnel, everyone cheers up a bit but I make a sign to stop them and tell them to keep quiet, I take one of the bows that we found before and slowly approach the light. Behind me Svalhild and the Stormcloak girl with the bow come crouching, ready to attack whatever is in front of them.
"Be careful there are Frostbite Spiders, kill them all from here, we don't have antidotes in case any of you are poisoned." I tell them while I prepare the bow and shoot an arrow, easily killing a Frostbite Spider, quickly taking another arrow killing the other two on the ground.
I move forward a bit and quickly take out another spider as it descends from the ceiling, killing it even before it hits the ground, Svalhild and the Stormcloak girl take out the other two before they even know what's going on. We go all the way down and see that there are no spiders anymore, although we do discover some people who clearly died recently.
To my surprise none of the women flinched at the sight of the human-sized spiders, if it were up to me I'd rather burn the whole damn place than go into a place infested by them. Kuroka also climbed the small mounds of earth where the light enters, but the passage is too small and rocky to get out there.
"Let's go this way it must be the exit." I tell them as I move to the left where again we have to go down a bit, although this time we can easily see the end.
"How do you know this is the exit?" Ralof asked me.
"The air smells fresher down there, so either it's an exit or it has more ventilation, plus the spiders must have an exit to go hunting, Kuroka if we find a way out downstairs i want you to go back and burn all those egg sacks kay?" She tensed a bit but just nods and we continue down, in the next 'room' mysteriously I don't see the bear, although I do see some traces of people passing through here... so I guess I know where the bear went, I hope not find it on the way out.
We walk further forward and you see some bodies in the bear lair, which Svalhild and the other Stormcloak woman quickly approach to check them, we see an opening in the ceiling but I think only Kuroka, Kurumi and I could get out through here and after a few more turns we see the exit of the caves and all the others cheer, I turn to see but Kuroka is no longer behind us and Kurumi only points back with her thumb.
Although a few seconds later I see how she arrives behind Kurumi and nods to me, we walk towards the exit but when I see Kurumi and Kuroka petrify, I quickly move them towards them and enter the cave again and I see how the others throw themselves under stones or bushes, covering themselves, again the injured people do not make a single sound, we hear a roar and see how Alduin fly over us away.
"Looks like he's gone for good this time. But I don't think we should stick around to see if he comes back." Hadvar says, among all of us who managed to get out, only the Stormcloak with a broken leg is the one who can't move, the potions seem to have had an effect on the others or at least they can move more slowly.
"Closest town from here is. My uncle's the blacksmith there. I'm sure he'd help us." Hadvar says, as he turn around to see us.
"Not only him, my sister Gerdur runs the Riverwood sawmill, she will help us too." Ralof says next, and I see how the other two Stormcloaks take the one with the broken leg.
"It's probably best if we split up here Ralof. Good luck. We wouldn't have made it without your help Leonhard. We need to go to Solitude if the rebels have themselves a dragon, General Tullius is the only one who can stop them." Hadvar says as the two other imperial women go and stand behind him.
"What? I don't think even Ulfric could pull a dragon out of his pocket! Lucky for us it attacked when it did, eh? I wasn't looking forward to getting a shave from the Imperial headsman." Ralof says next.
"Stop it both of you, you don't have to be fighting here with a giant lizard destroying towns, Ralof you won't be able to travel far without her being healed and Hadvar you clearly don't want to fight, can't you just put on legion uniforms and split up afterwards?" Both of them see me, they look at each other and with an annoyed grunt they both turn away.
"What will you do Leonhard?" Svalhild asks me.
"We have to find the rest of my companions, so we'll search the area for a bit." I clearly see that she wants to stay with us... but she's really going to set us back a lot if she does...
"My lady you should go to Solitude and join up with the Imperial Legion. We could really use someone like you." Hadvar starts his recruitment speech
"Don't pay attention to him, lady. You should go to Windhelm and join the fight to free Skyrim. You've seen the true face of the Empire here today." Ralof also does the same. But....
'Why aren't they inviting me? It's not to brag but I'm a very good effective... maybe because I am too effective... it's good that I only thought that...'
"And again they start fighting... they really are best friends, don't you think?" I tell the rest of the women that they simply observe the fight between their superiors, it seems they really want to travel together and I don't blame them, they have nerves of steel but even so, anyone would be affected by this, even Kuroka and Kurumi are somewhat affected.
""WE AREN'T FRIENDS!"" both of them yell.
"Svalhild I think that the best thing is that you accompany them, prevent them from killing each other and take care of the rest, whether or not I can find our companions, I'll probably go to Whiterun which is where we headed before the bandits attacked us." When I say that, Hadvar turns around and stares at me...
"Do you continue with that story? Look everyone here we saw how you stood in front of the Dragon, challenged it and he escape from you, thanks to you we were able to evacuate almost all the civilians of Helgen, so unless those bandits are a group of dragons or gods nobody will believe you." After he says that everyone nods their head...
"I don't know why you tell that story, but the fact is that you really have something to do, you already helped us enough, thanks to you many sons of Skyrim were able to survive, in fact I'm sure Jarl Ulfric will want to reward you for it even the imperials will, I will warn you about the Thalmor, they will surely want your head, but if they want it, they will need to bring some of their armies to give it a try, if you need any help you know where I am." Ralof says, putting his hand on my shoulder and Hadvar nods, so that's why neither of them invited me to join their side...
"Be careful on the way, I... will wait for you in Whiterun." In the end Svalhild put her hand in my shoulder too and says no more and begins to walk with the others, down the hill, heading towards the path that leads to Riverwood. Even so, on several occasions Svalhild and the imperial girl who, according to the system, is called Arielana turn around, so before they disappear from our vision I start to move to the left, heading towards the mountain.
"Poor things nya, why don't you make a harem nya, if you had said so, those two would have followed you without problems nya." Kuroka immediately comments, now with her tails and ears visible..
"Yes, apart from the fact that they are both beautiful, I don't think you can find other women like them who agree to be with you Onii-san." Once Kurumi says that I stop and turn to look at her.
"What do you mean with that?" Without saying anything, Kurumi points to her face and then to mine... in all the time I've been 'alive', it's the first time that they look down on me because of my appearance, how long it had taken... I thought I wouldn't last a week at most before someone insult me with that.
"Hey, don't feel bad nya~, you made a promise to meet her again in White-something, meanwhile you will have the honor of accompanying us, I'll let you carry our things nya~." Sigh,,, it will be a long stay in this world but I can't be mad at this cat...
"For your information I already have two beautiful wives and a couple dozen.... of suitors after me, so I really have a lot more than I could ever want. Let's hurry up, the other person who came with us hasn't moved from his place for an hour and.... I fear the worse." I say and immediately start to climb the mountain using all my skills, Kuroka easily follows me jumping and Kurumi decides to fly together with us, which is imitated by Kuroka with a pair of bat wings after a little.
"Is there another person nya? How do you know that he hasn't moved, besides how did you know how to navigate through those caves, you really have a lot of explaining to do nya." Kuroka speaks but, I can notice something strange about her, I wonder if her race is more sensitive to this kind of things, she still looks quite tense compared to Kurumi
"It's a lot of explanation, I'll explain everything when we have the other person since I don't want to repeat it, but in short I have a skill that makes maps, I marked the person who fell with us, someone in Red by the way, with it and since then the map has shown me that it was haven't moved." I immediately add when I see that Kurumi has taken her flintlock. Although still she points it at me.
"It's not good to lie us Onii-san." I don't really feel like she's going to shoot me even so I'm curious what damage her bullets could cause me...
"I'm not going to lie to you, at least I have no reason to, plus I'm just a nervous man being accompanied by two beautiful women and I really don't know what to do!?" I hug myself and pretend to tremble, but at no point do we slow down almost reaching plateau of the mountain. Now that I think about it, why am I acting so casual with them?
"Even if you're not physical attractive you shouldn't doubt your bravery Onii-san, the fact that those two women did everything to get your attention proves it... or do you like men!? That's why you don't react at all!" Kurumi looks at me with a surprised face, and I almost tripped when she said that. We arrived at the place that is where I see the chapel of Talos in Ilinalta Foothills. I just turn to see Kurumi who smirks at me, in the end I decide not to answer is better to show proofs and I know very well that I will lose and the situation in front of me is more worrying.
Here we can see several dead people, and unlike the game there are 4 dead Thalmor dead in the ground too, all around one sphere of white light, which is covering a girl with red hair in a waist-length ponytail, curled slightly into a loose ringlet, she wore a brown overbust corset with a vertical strip of lighter brown in the center. Additionally she wore an elastic, black, A-line mini skirt and brown opera-length gloves on both arms. She wore a red ankle-length sash that wrapped around her skirt.
She had elaborate bronze greaves that started below her mid-thigh before continuing downwards into her boots as well as a pair of cuisses that began mid-thigh and ended slightly above her knees. Underneath her hair, she wore a brown circlet, she also sported a large bronze gorget around her neck there was a small circular bronze plate on her right hip opposite two pouches with both connected to a belt (Copy/paste from wiki).
"Is this the person we are looking for nya? She really is beautiful... Are you bringing us together to try to make a harem nya~?" Kuroka starts looking around, checking for something out of place without going near the sphere
"Yes, as I told you, I only saw something red falling, I did everything possible to protect her and at least she doesn't look hurt, and no, I didn't plan any of this and I like women Kurumi." I take out a cell phone from my inventory, while I see the name of the young lady in front of me.
[Name: Pyrrha Nikos Race: Human Affiliation: Sanctum Academy LVL: 42]
'Another person I don't know... at first glance and by name and attire she seems Greek... could she be an Amazon?' I think a little while I see her, giving up as I turn on my cell phone and start browsing it.
"It's rude to secretly take pictures of women Onii-san~, you should at least ask for permission~" Without saying anything I present my cell phone to her hand. She takes it but stares at me. "What does this mean?"
"Those are the photos of my wives, the woman with purple hair is Kirkena, the blonde is Ruri, the others are... my suitors? Well you can browse this let me see what I can do with... the sleeping beauty." I move towards the girl, while Kurumi stares at the cell phone screen, Kuroka stands behind her too and I see how they are looking at the photos.
And of course I have a sacred album of nude photos, but those are on my other cell phone, on this one I only have normal photos with the girls... now, before I wake up Pyrrha, I have to see the elephant in the room... so without further ado I walk towards the statue of Talos, that since we arrived I have felt how it stares at me.
Suddenly everything around me goes dark, I can't see my hands in front of me, I'm in total and utter darkness, a figure appears in front of me, a middle aged man stares at me, black haired with... I don't really remember his face, what the fuck? He wears intricate golden armor, engraved with the face of a dragon and its wings under the chest, He studies me carefully, to tell the truth I have never felt so weak, no matter what I do, I know I couldn't even defend myself against this person...
[Name: "#$%? Septim (T"%os) LVL: $%#" Race: Drag?n/M!n]
"Step forward, adventurer. In two hundred years, we have never known hope. But for the first time, it seems that someone may succeed where we have failed. I must ask you to press forward where I could not." the man, Talos talk to me I don't know how but instinctively I knew it was him.
".... What you want me to do?" Now I understand why they say that you can never say No to a god.
"In two hundred years none have stood against us and lived. Step forward and claim what is yours by right. May your faith be true." Talos continue talking...
"What do you mean, I just got here, I don't know what I have to do. I have to slay the Dragons, the Thalmor?" I asked I really don't know what the hell he is saying.
"I'm sure you will have no trouble finding the Relics on your own. You clearly need no aid from man or god. But someone built a shrine upon the site, where the Elves tormented the people in a final act of revenge. I can show you where it once stood. Perhaps it is there still. Fare thee well."
And just like that, I appear again where I was, from what I see I didn't leave for a long time, but I have no idea what happened, I look at my map and my quest section but nothing appears... So I have to do something? Save the world? Now I also understand why many hate the gods, they can talk and talk and in the end they just want you to work for them, and yet they still speak in tongue twisters and things like that, they can't just say: Hey you, go there and kill that guy.
And how the hell am I going to know what I have to look for if I were a fortune teller I wouldn't be here in the first place....sigh... I better see how I can get Pyrrha out of that sphere. I turn around and see how both girls continue to stare at my cell phone, scrolling through several photographs very seriously, turning to see me occasionally, although I don't know why that makes them occasionally gape while looking at it....
'What am I going to have to find... do I have to found the Knights of the Nine again? The Blades? Make Svalhild take the throne? Destroy the Empire or The Dominion... kill some Daedra? Destroy Nirn?' I approach the sphere and think a bit about what to do, but just like that, the sphere suddenly breaks and I have to move quickly to prevent Pyrrha from falling to the ground, that makes the other two girls turn to see me, without further ado I place my hands under her legs and I have her in princess carry, but thanks to her weapons it is somewhat uncomfortable.
"Let's get out of here, if we cross this mountain you should see a small cabin, night is coming and it will be a good place where we can finally talk." From what I see, she doesn't seem to have any health problems, at least according with my system. I wonder what artifact she brought that allowed her to create a defense system to protect her or did some god take care of her until she saw that we had arrived?
However, before continuing walking, I stop thanks to something that appeared in front of me.... a blue box....
'I don't really like this... '
