“I knew there was something else different the moment you stepped into this room.”

“What do you mean?”

Shaking his head, Ulfric stood up and grabbed her by the shoulders, motioning for her to stand up as well. “I’m not exactly sure how to explain it, I just felt it. And I couldn’t feel more proud.”

“About me being Dragonborn?”

He shook his head once more, gently squeezing her shoulders. His hands were big and warm, and she could smell a faint but sweet aroma from him, possibly mead.

“I’m sure you’ve spoken to the Greybeards. How is Arngeir, and the rest of them? When I left, it wasn’t in a good note.”

Ahing in understanding, Thales smiled and looked up at the high ceiling. “He said I reminded him of you. Actually, he was the first person to suggest you as my father.”

“He is an incredibly perceptive man, a Greybeard after all. I remember the good old days when he was my mentor.”

Thales’ face flushed in excitement; her and Ulfric had something in common other than their blood. It was an incredible feeling.

“He was hard on me, but I learned much from him.”

Sighing, the man let her go and began pacing again. “Although I am disappointed at the fact that you cannot remain with the Stormcloaks, I understand the justification behind your decision. After all, you have proven to be a valuable asset, and with good reason. When will you be leaving?”

Biting the inside of her cheek, the Imperial began to think about that little fact. It was better to leave as soon as she could, there was a horn she needed to retrieve for Arngeir. But she wanted to remain by her father’s side. They are finally together! And who knew the outcome of both of their wars. It was disheartening to think that they might not see each other again.

No, she couldn’t think like that. They are Ulfric, leader of the Stormcloak Rebellion, and Thales the Dragonborn and daughter of said man.

“As soon as I come up with a plan. I cou—”

“Do come and say your farewell to me then. After all this is over, Talos allows us, we will have all the time in the world to become acquainted with each other.”

With a nod, Thales saluted him but as soon as she turned to walk away, Ulfric grabbed her by her arm and turned her back around. With slow movements, he pulled her to his chest and softly kissed the top of her head.

~

Her heart quickened at the sight of Vilkas talking to one of the insufferable Thanes in this city. At least he seems to be getting along with the idiot. As soon as he spotted her walking towards him, the Companion wrapped their conversation up and walked towards her, meeting halfway.

“How did it go?” There was a giddy tone in his voice, probably anticipation on hearing good news.

“Vilkas, I honestly don’t know what to say. Perfect, that’s the only way to describe it.”

He smiled widely and grabbed one of her hands, bringing it to his lips so he could kiss it. “I’m happy for you, my dear.”

The endearing term knotted her stomach and she jumped to wrap her arms around his neck. His arms rapidly going around her body, pulling her to him as both kissed chastely. The beautiful moment didn’t last long as she backed away with a hiss. her ribs were still hurting, and maybe the adrenaline from meeting her father made her forget, but she can certainly feel them now.

“Your ribs. I have some potions with me, you can drink one once we go to the inn.”

“Let’s go. I need to speak to the others as well.”

The walk to the inn wasn’t long, but the cold made it unbearable. Vilkas had chuckled at her shivers and wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders in a chance to pass heat from his body to hers.

“You’re back.” Brynjolf spoke as they walked into the big room in the second floor of the inn. “I take it it went well.” His smirk didn’t bother her this time, she felt too lighthearted to care for his teasing.

“Yes, yes it did. But there’s been a change in the plans, so I need all of you to listen.”

Ralof stood up as soon as she was done with her sentence, ready to leave.

“You don’t have to leave Ralof, it’ll be quick. Afterwards you all can go back to having fun.”

“Are you sure? I don’t mind leaving, I should probably go to sleep anyway.”

Before he could walk, Sapphire grabbed his tunic and pulled on it as hard as she could, sitting him down on the chair. “Just stay out, you heard the boss.”

“Boss?” He whispered as he rubbed the elbow he hit with the table when the woman sat him down by force.

“Sapphire, we’re no longer in the ranks. If you want to go back to Riften with Brynjolf, that’s fine. The woman raised her arms in excitement, wincing as her body hurt all over with the sudden moves.

“Brynjolf, I’m going to have Farkas and Vilkas check on Serana, but I need you to go with them.”

The redhead man tilted his head in question, probably wondering why on Oblivion is he supposed to travel with a pair of Companions. “Lass, what could I possibly be needed for?”

“I need you to convince her to join us.”

Both the redhead and Sapphire exclaimed “What?” while Ralof was trying to figure out anything they were talking about.

“I can almost guarantee it won’t be a hard task. Unfortunately I can’t do it because I have some business to take care of, but I know you’ll be able to accomplish this for me Bryn.” She smiled at the man reassuringly, and he nodded at her.

“Is there anything else, boss?”

Shaking her head, Thales wrapped one of her arms around her middle and Vilkas immediately grabbed both of her shoulders from behind. Her stomach fluttered at the fact that he was always in tune to what she was doing.

“Okay, it’s time for you to take care of those injuries.” He began to pull her away.

“You still haven’t looked at your injuries!? This girl, I swear.” The indignant shout from Sapphire was heard by everyone, and it made Thales want to chuckle, but she suppressed the urge. She’ll laugh once she downs two or three healing potions.

Although she suppressed the chuckle, a giggle did escape her lips, and Vilkas’ ears perked in wonder at the sweet sound.

“Something wrong?”

“No,” a chuckle finally escaped her, and her middle hurt like a bitch, but she couldn’t help it anymore. Thales stopped walking and felt the love of her life press up to her from behind. His arms wrapping around her as he rested his chin on the top of her head. “Not a thing.”

Everything is finally beginning to fall in place.

Vilkas tucked some of her hair behind her ear as she downed the second potion. It tasted disgusting but his caresses made the deal a lot better. He took the bottle from her hands as soon as she was done, then placed it on top of the drawer by the bed.

Her ribs were numbing, the power of the potion taking effect in fixing her injuries. They weren’t severely damaged, so it wouldn’t take long before all she feels is a slight uncomfort, and she was glad about that. There were many things she needed to do in such a short amount of time, she wasn't sure if this is finally what’s going to drive her crazy.

With a groan, Thales let herself fall back on the bed. It wasn’t fair, she wants to spend as much time as she can with both Vilkas and her father. Now that they are all so close, her chest constricts at the thought of leaving them behind for her duties as Dragonborn.

With a low chuckle, Vilkas sat next to her on bed and turned to loom out of the light from the candles around the room. Thales smiled up at him, and lifted a hand to run it through his still wet hair. He had taken a bath as soon as both retired to the bedroom, wanting to be nice and fresh for the long journey tomorrow.

“Don’t worry, the potions will take effect soon enough.”

Thales rolled her eyes and scoffed at him. “That’s not why I’m feeling this way… I don’t want to go anywhere, I just want to stay here with you forever.” The dramatic tone made Vilkas smile and her hand continued to untangle some of his locks as she pouted.

Vilkas’ face became stoic for a second before smiling again, and it gave her butterflies in her stomach. He was gorgeous. “Well, we should make the most of tonight then.” He finished with a laugh and Thales joined him, a blush spreading on her cheeks. “But really, it’ll be over soon enough and we’ll have all the time in the world to be together, my dear.”

She closed her eyes for a couple of seconds, relishing in the sound of his breathing above her. He’s right, they’re still alive and going, the worst that could happen hasn’t happened to them but they’re resilient enough to overcome anything (as long as they don’t die).

“Look, as soon as Farkas, the thief and I find your friend, I’ll join you and we can fight these dragons together.”

Lifting herself up on her forearms, Thales almost forgot what she was about to say at the closeness of their faces. “Vilkas,no. It’s too dangerous, I would die if anything happened to y—”

With a finger, he quieted her protest and then he bend down a little in order to press his lips to hers. “I’ve been doing this much longer than you and I’m still alive, Thales.” He said but didn’t straighten back up. “Wouldn’t you like it for us to travel together again, fighting side by side?”

Yes, yes she did. To have him near her and know he was alive was something she wouldn’t, couldn’t, refuse. With a sigh, she lowered herself back to the bed, but this time she lifted her arms and wrapped them around Vilkas’ neck, her fingers threading his hair.

“I would love that.” With a smile, she pulled him down and their lips connected once more.

Vilkas twisted his lower half in order to turn and face Thales as his hands moved to caress her jaw, then her neck. Their lips parted and both breathed each other's air. His masculine scent reached her nose and her eyes clouded in ecstasy.
She whined his name, and Vilkas stopped the kiss to look her in the eyes. “Yes?” He asked, bumping his nose to hers.

“I wish you knew how much I love you.” She said. Thales’ face was reddened, and Vilkas decided to move back and pick her up in his arms.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m making you my woman tonight.” His brashness, which Thales thought endearing, didn’t phase her as she raised her eyebrows in question.

“You mean I’m making you my man tonight.”

Gently, he set her down on the bed so she could lay on the pillows, and then caressed her cheek again. The soft skin, the sweet scent, and the delicious heat was something he couldn’t stop wanting. “Thales, you made me your man the first time you almost broke my nose.”

With a snort, Thales let herself fall back as she laughed at his words. “You sure know your way to a lady’s heart!” Vilkas shrugged before beginning to remove his tunic.

“You’re the only lady’s heart I want, and as long as it works on you then I’m satisfied.”

This is a side of him that she misses. His dry, but clever nonetheless, humour that always has her smiling.

When his tunic came off, Thales looked up from where she was to marvel at his amazing physique. He wasn’t big and burly like Farkas and Ralof, but somehow this body fit his personality more. She couldn’t explain it much, the anticipation was hindering her thinking. The heat pooling in her lower abdomen was proof of how much seeing him half nude affected her.

“It’s weird.” Vilkas was about to pull his bottoms down but stopped at her words.

“What?” He asked, frowning a little.

Pushing herself up fast, Thales grabbed on to his hand closest to her and kissed it in apology. “I wasn’t talking about you. I was just thinking that I never thought we’d be like this.” With a smile, she decided to make herself useful and help him take his clothes off.

She didn’t mean to turn this awkward, and she hopes goes away with her explanation.

Vilkas smiled again and then pulled the rest of off with her help. Not letting her get a full view of his naked body, he bent down on one knee by her feet and began helping her remove her clothes.

“I know what you mean. But we’re here now, and I love you and I cannot wait to be inside you.”

His words pulled something within her, it made her get a surge of confidence, which was a good thing because she’s never done anything like this before.

“Well, what are you waiting for. Come closer so I can make you my man.” With matching grins, both closed the gap between them and resumed their kissing.

Vilkas grabbed on to her top and pulled it off, her arms lowering to grab on to his face and pull him closer to her. The rest of her clothes followed soon, and then they were both facing each other on the same position, mouths still connected. Moving back, Vilkas caressed her tights and lowered his head to kiss her stomach. With swipes of his tongue, he made his way up to kiss and nibble at her bare breasts. She was gorgeous just sitting there with her head back, enjoying his caresses.

Her feet rubbed his waist as he played with her nipples, the feel of his hot skin against hers drove her mad. They began this not long ago, and she already felt like she wanted to reach the maximum denouement. She has a feeling that they weren’t going to be doing this for long.

His hands were fast at grabbing on to the back of her knees and pushing them up in order for her to fall back on the bed. He stood up and she had a chance to see him bare, to which she wasn’t sure how to react. Vilkas looked like a God, standing between her legs, smiling down at her with tousled hair and dark stubble.

Bending forward, he crawled up to her and both kissed again, his hand grabbing on to himself and placing his arousal against hers to rub as both moved along with the kiss. It was so odd yet exhilarating to feel him along herself, hard yet skin soft, and so very hot. With a groan, Vilkas moved to kiss and nibble at her neck, and Thales’ arms wrapped around his neck. Her fingers lightly scratching his shoulderblades.

Oh yes, they were not going to last long. But it was fine, this wasn’t some sort of marathon, this was them expressing the love and passion they have for each other.

Feeling she was sleek enough, Vilkas moved his hips back a little, and then he moved his hips forward again, his arousal pushed into her, sliding in little by little with tiny thrusts. Thales didn’t want to close her eyes, she wanted to stare at him as their bodies connected, but the sensations would be heightened if she did. The moment Vilkas gasped and buried his head on her shoulder, she closed her eyes and focused on feeling him slide in. It wasn’t painful, on the contrary, it felt amazing to finally have the feeling of fulfillment.

Once he was, she assumes, completely inside (an odd thought, he was much bigger than she thought men were supposed to be, but then again, he’s a Nord), Vilkas raised his head and kissed her mouth, then her nose. Both stared at each other lovingly, one of his hands moved along her side to grab a hold of her buttock as he pushed himself up with the other arm. He smiled mischievously as she felt him move back, and then push back into her. She spread her legs a little more in order to give him room, the sensation of him moving into her felt amazing and she wanted more of it.

Soon enough, that was all it took and then they were rocking against each other. Thales wasn’t too sure what to except for moving her hips as she felt more pleasurous, and Vilkas didn’t seem to mind that she wasn’t doing much. His grunts and moans made her stomach tingle, and her arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him down so she could kiss him.

As their movements intensified, hearing him moan her name over and over was driving her mad. It wasn’t before she was gasping his name “Ah—Vilkas..!” and throwing her head back, a surge of feelings and sensations running through her body from head to toes. His hips snapped back and forward harder than before, and she kept having those sensations, her head finally liberating from some sort of pressure. Burying his head on her shoulder again, she felt him bite her neck gently as he jerked and stop moving save from small rocking.

Sighing, Thales turned and caressed his hot and somewhat moistened back as both laid next to each other, as close as they could possibly be. They’re finally home.

It was moments later when both decided it would be best to clean up and get ready for bed. Pulling his tunic on, Thales turned to smile at a sleepy Vilkas laying on the bed, waiting for her to join him.

“Mm, you might have to wear my clothes more often, my dear.” He said tiredly, but a smile didn’t fail to adorn his face.

“Oh really.” Pulling the furs back, Thales got in bed and breathed out deliciously. She was tired, but the good tired, and the ache on her ribs was minimal.

“So, shall we discuss the plan for tomorrow?” He yawned and pulled her tight to his chest.

“We go separate ways, and once you guys are done with Serana, you can travel back with Brynjolf. I’ll meet you in Riften and then we kick some giant lizard ass.”

Chuckling, Vilkas kissed her forehead and then rested his chin on it. “Then you better hurry and get whatever you’re getting.”

It was with a smile that Thales fell asleep.

~

Fastening the thick cape, Thales stood watching her father walk towards them. The wind was getting stronger, sharper, surely a blizzard approaching the city. There were two guards and Ralof along with him, and she smiled as the blond waved graciously at her. When her eyes met her fathers, her smile faded, her eyes hardened, but not from hate or displeasure. She was standing in front of a great man, she deems him respect regardless of her thoughts on the war.

“It’s time.” He said, approaching her and standing about two feet from her. She nodded, and saluted him, getting a salute back from him. “I have something for you.”

She watched as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of jewelry. Her eyes widened at the item, it was an amulet of Mara (she’s seen them before). Both reached to each other, and she grabbed it, rubbing the pad of her fingers on its surface.

“I got it made for your mother, I got thinking last night, it would be best if you keep it from now on.”

A prickling in her eyes told her she was about to start crying, so with a wide smile, she offered it back to him. With a subtle smile himself, Ulfric reached over and placed it around her neck, moving back and admiring the result.

“Thank you, father.”

With a nod both moved again at the same time and hugged, tight and strong. With one last deep breath, the hug ended and she lowered her head to him in respect. “I’ll contact you as soon as I establish a permanent base, that way when I write you, you can write back.” The thought of it made her stomach jump, it was strange saying those words.

Ulfric nodded and stepped back as Thales walked away from him towards an empty patch of land.

She exchanged looks with Brynjolf and then with Ralof. Sapphire walked up to her and hugged her, whispering “Take care, okay? Don’t get killed because we have to find my father.”

“It’s a promise.”

Once the woman walked back to a safer distance, Thales turned and breathed in as much air as she could, and then shouted “Dur Neh Viir!” A bright light, then turning dark colors flashed in front of everyone, and the wind began to wildly cut. With a screech, the dragon appeared and flapped its enormous wings before reaching his head down towards her.

“Dear Talos!” She heard Ralof shout in astonishment, but was soon interrupted by the dragon asking her what he was being called for.

“We have work to do, I hope you’re up for a trip.” Turning around, she saw Ulfric standing proud at the sight of her daughter and a tamed dragon, and then Vilkas began to walk towards her.

“I will be seeing you soon, my dear.” Both kissed again, but not for the last time.

“Until then.”

Climbing on the dragon’s neck, Thales waved one last time to her friends and her family, and then was lifted up high, and very fast into the sky. The sombering feeling of despondency she’d been overcome with began to disappear as the bodies of her friends became more and more blurry.

She found her father, she found her love. Everything is going to be okay.

~

Well guys, this is the END! I would like to point out that I know that you in fact cannot ride Durnehviir, but I love him so much I just went ahead and used him for the ending haha. Notes on the love scene: I felt that the best course of action was to keep it simple and short, it seems more realistic that way, I sure hope it was enjoyable! :) I want to thank all readers and all reviewers, you guys rock my socks! And although this is technically the end, I will still do a short (super tiny) snippet of the future to wrap some things up and just to add fluff to this big story. So you can chose to end it here completely, or read the extra part I'll be doing soon. THANK YOU! Have a nice day!

The intimate part was perfect! very simple and very well done !! I could feel the love between the two! I like your Vilkas and I love Thales! Ulfric as a father is amazing! The finish is exciting and for sure I'll be here for another chapter or two or as many as you'd like to add! Look for more love between Thales and Vilkas but also because I need to Serana and Brynjolf!A good day for you and lots of cookies!

“Thales, you made me your man the first time you almost broke my nose....THIS IS VILKAS!!!ehehehehehe

“I know what you mean. But we’re here now, and I love you and I cannot wait to be inside you.”...ohhhwwwwww !!!!!!!!!!!

I am still waiting for you !!! :)

OH GOSH!! I'm so sorry!! This derp a!a forgot about this last chapter!! (I recently started school haha my brain automatically cataloged this story as finished). I'll have it posted soon! :3 I apologize! XD

Have a good school, and in the meantime look for you! Happy to hear from you!

Her eyes moved from corner to corner, every cavity on the walls and halls but there was no sign of the little bundle of joy. With quick steps she walked down the long hall and bursted out into the main hall. For a moment her ears perked up as she heard laughter and the sound of metal hitting stone. He better not be doing what she thinks he’s doing.

She just arrived from a long journey along with Serana. They decided to go raid her family castle of some much needed items for the guild, and luckily both made it back in time for the feast. This day is one her father reserves to have a big, fancy dinner and celebrate the day they met for the first time years ago.

“Haren?” Her voice echoed as she made her way to the courtyard through the war room.

The sound stopped and a small child turned to smile toothily at her with bright green eyes. “Mama! You’re back!” The little thing dropped the sword (larger than his own body) and ran to her arms as she bent down to wrap them around him.

“My darling, I missed you so!” She stood up with him in her arms and kissed his face over and over as he giggled in delight.

A hearty laugh from behind her interrupted their sweet reunion. Thales twitched to accommodate the child on her hip as she held him up against her then turned around to see her father smiling at them.

“Father, you know he’s not allowed to be near any weapons. He’s only four!”

“Aye, take it up to your man. He left me here to watch him while he fetched a shield small enough for him to hold.” Ulfric walked up to her patted her shoulder warmly (or as warmly as he could) then ruffled the child’s dark hair.

“Oh no,” Vilkas said from the entrance of the courtyard, almost dropping the shield he has between his hands. “It’s not what it looks like.”

She glared at him, but then Haren wiggled out of her arms and jumped down, running to his father and reaching up for the shield. “Can we fight now, papa?” He asked, smiling enthusiastically at Vilkas.

“Hold on a second, let your mother murder me first,” he said jokingly as he approached her and kissed her forehead. “How was the trip back?”

Sighing, she watched as her small child tried his best to lift the heavy shield. “Not bad. I checked up on Sapphire and Vilkas on my way here. They’re definitely having twins.”

Vilkas let out a loud laugh and slapped his thigh a couple of times. “I knew one of us would have twins. How interesting, Haren will have family to play with besides your father and his guards.”

She smiled tenderly down at said little person. Who would’ve thought that everything would play out perfectly and harmoniously. Five years ago she thought she’d die inside the belly of a dragon, today? Today she wakes up late, feeds Haren and Aventus, the other child of hers, then they spend some days either playing outside of learning from Wuunferth, Ulfric’s sorcerer (and proclaimed educator of her children).

Rarely they hear of a dragon attack, thus leaving her (and Vilkas) to enjoy their life to the fullest.

“Yes, it’s good. They could come over and stay with us, or he could go with them and help out with the infants.”

“That would certainly teach him responsibility,” Ulfric added as he bent down to tell Haren how to ‘properly’ hold on to the shield and the sword.

Vilkas nodded and then wrapped his arms around her from behind. “Aventus is going to be happy too,” he added softly by her ear.

Speaking of. “Where is he? I thought Brynjolf would be back with him by now.”

“He’s probably held up. Don’t fret, woman, he’s staying a couple of days to talk business with you is he not?”

Nodding, they pulled apart from each other and decided to make their way inside. While she was exhausted, she still needed to bathe and eat something.

Ulfric stayed out with his grandson, and she trusted him wholeheartedly to take good care of him as he plays around with the weapons.

“There you guys are,” Serana spoke as they walked into the main hall.

Vilkas smiled and nodded at her in acknowledgement and she did the same.

“Sorry, I had to see Haren before retreating to bathe. Want to join? Thales asked her and the other nodded immediately.

“Yes, I want to change clothes as fast as possible. I’ll just borrow some of yours.”

Vilkas rolled his eyes at the ladie’s chatter and walked straight up to the long table and served himself some mead.

~

Washing her hair, Thales looked up as Serana scrubbed her arms. “Hey, Serana, are you ever going to look for someone?” She asked, hoping the question wasn’t too abruptly brought to the table.

The Nord woman stopped her scrubbing and looked up at her in surprise. “Why do you ask?” She frowned slightly, but Thales knew it wasn’t in anger or anything alike. They’re very close friends now, she’s the closest she’s ever been to someone besides Vilkas.

“I’m just wondering. It seems like everyone is now finding a place in the world. I don’t mean to insinuate the place is with someone, but…” She waved her hand in the air before continuing washing her hair.

“Hmm,” she hummed in thought. It was recently that Serana decided to be at peace with her past and turn herself a mortal. Something her mother didn’t agree with, but at this point Serana was sick of living forever. She wanted her life to run along with Thales, and that warmed her heart.

“I’m sorry, I was just curious. I always thought you and Brynjolf would—”

“Would what?” The woman interrupted her with an amused expression. But the light blush on her cheeks didn’t go unnoticed her Thales.

“I don’t know, you two seemed to be getting closer and closer the more I saw you.”

Serana looked away and smiled teasingly, “maybe, who knows.”

And that was the end of the conversation. They finished and quickly got ready for supper. When both walked out, Thales was delighted to see Brynjolf standing by the hallway that led to the private rooms.

“Bryn!” She called out to him enthusiastically and walked up to hug him. “I was worried you weren’t going to show up.”

“And how can I miss to see your face when you find out that Aventus wants to come live with us.”

The redheaded Imperial backed away in surprise and then looked around to find the young man with her eyes. Aventus was looking for a good apple to eat from the table, and once he found one he turned and both stared at each other for a moment. He was still young, fifteen winters to be exact. But to the world of Skyrim he was old enough to do as he pleases.

“Woman, don’t worry about it. We can talk it over another day,” Vilkas said to her, trying to be reassuring and supportive.

“I,” she began to say but then shook her head as if trying to clear out the thoughts from her mind. “Yes, that sounds perfect.” She smiled at Vilkas and then asked, “when is the food going to be ready, do you know?”

Her husband shrugged. “No idea, but let me ask the cooks.” With that he walked away and disappeared through a stone hallway leading to the kitchens of the palace. It didn’t take long for him to appear again to tell her it’d be out soon.

Not much later, domestic workers began to fill the room moving things around and setting plates, cups, tankards, and more on the long table. Every place at said table was being set with everything any noble or closest friend of Ulfric’s could ever need.

The first time he held this party, she had been pregnant with Haren and nervous. So very nervous. Unlike her father, she didn’t grow up amongst royalty and nobles and such. Her life had been out on the streets. Being forced to spend time with people who couldn’t comprehend that kept her on edge. But now, now she’s calm and collected about it. In fact, she’s even made friends with some of them.

No one knew she was the Dragonborn aside from those she told years ago, and that helped her calm down as well. No one would bring up questions about it or comments on it.

Vilkas grabbed her upper arms from behind her and then rubbed them up and down. “Don’t be nervous, it’ll be alright.”

“I know.”

~

Ulfric stood up and held his cup high in the air. Everyone immediately turned their full attention to the High King of Skyrim, as they’ve been doing for the past couple of years.

“Today marks another year that I got to spend by my daughter’s side. A brave and strong woman, worthy of the legacy she carries with her. To Thales!”

She blushed (as she does every year) as they all lifted their drink up in the air and then took a sip. A laugh escaped her as she saw Haren imitating the rest of the men and the woman with her cup of milk. Then her eyes swept over everyone, noticing little things she knows about, but still warm her heart. Like her father looking down and serving her son food, or Vilkas chatting like never before with some of the nobles around him. It didn’t go unnoticed by her the way Brynjolf sat closer to Serana, talking in low voices with her.

It’s moments like this that she realizes how good she has it. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she’d end up with this much wealth, and she’s not necessarily talking about gold. A family, friends, safety, health. It’s wonderful, and it’s something she’d always dream of when she was still a lonely, homeless child traveling Cyrodiil and Hammerfell, and all those places she got to know before arriving at Skyrim.

“How do you feel?” Her father asked, looking up at her from where he was cutting some meat for Haren. She probably looked dazed and somewhat lost with the look on her face as she took everything in.

With a smile that was brighter than what Ulfric was expecting, Thales closed her eyes and shook her head gently. Her hand shot out to hold Vilkas, who turned to look at her with a loving smile before giving his attention back to the nobles.

“Never been better.”
