The Imperial remembers the late night conversations her and Vilkas would occasionally have back in Jorrvaskr. He was a smart man, the smartest she’s ever met, and waiting to hear the stories he would tell her about the first Companions or about Skyrim was the best part of her day.
The day she absorbed her first dragon soul a loud and thunderous sound erupted in the skies, and everyone started freaking out as much as when the black dragon destroyed Helgen. They all spoke of the Greybeards who at the time she didn’t know what or who they were. Thales then decided to keep the soul absorbing a secret from everyone, at least until she understood what was going on.
At the time she was still somewhat new to Skyrim, and the only person she thought of asking about the rumors was Vilkas. He had explained that the Greybeards were an honored order of monks that lived in silence and also masters of the Way of The Voice, and they were calling the Dragonborn to them. He then proceeded to explain that the Way of The Voice was the idea that the dragon language is dangerous and should only be used for violence when truly needed.
The next thing he explained to her had shocked her at the time. He told her that the Dragonborn was a mortal with the soul of a dragon, who was able to end the immortality of the beasts by devouring the souls of said beasts. The thunderous sound that erupted the day she absorbed her first dragon soul had been the Greybeards calling to her.
She had visited them and with hard work but in a short time learned the Way of The Voice. The last time Thales was up in High Hrothgar was to talk to Paarthurnax about an Elder Scroll that she fetched along with Serana from deep within Blackreach.
What was odd about the vision Dinya had was that she is to visit them regarding her father. The Greybeards live secluded from anything going on in the world below them, how could they possibly help her figure out who her father was? As far as Vilkas told her, no one ever goes up there to chat with them because they deny everyone the entrance to the temple.
This all seemed very confusing, but the only way to figure it out is to go and ask.
Grabbing her cloak tighter around her, Thales walked the seven thousand steps as fast as she could. From what she can recall from all the times she’s been up there, she was close to the end of the climb and her nerves were starting to stir.
What if she gets greeted with disappointment? She’s never had her father, so if she is unable to find him, nothing would change. But deep inside her being she wants him to be alive.
The strong wind blew her hood off her head then the back of it filled up with air pushing her back. She needed to get there fast before the winds blow her off the mountain. Upping her speed, the young woman saw the beginning of the temple ahead and smiled to herself.
When she reached the last steps right before the big, metal doors, the Imperial exhaled and pushed them open. The warmth of the inside welcomed her, and she could see Borri meditating in the center of the main room. Bowing her head in respect, she walked past the monk looking for the one that would speak with her.
