:clap: Awesome story, I assume this is the end for Inanna and Aphyd. If so, I enjoyed it very much. I have a question though, in an earlier update when Inanna went to get an Elder Scroll from the Orc at the College there was a Nord that left before Inanna and was looking for an Elder Scroll also, who was that?

Thanks :happy: . It's pretty fun, most of the time, to try to sync different characters together. It makes me feel like each character is more "real" to the in-game universe.

There's one more update for Inanna and Aphyd before the end.

That Nord woman was http://i.imgur.com/DaatqYX.jpg, my Dragonborn, doing part of the main quest. I only posted some screenshots of her journey without any story details, since it was pretty basic. Nothing particularly interesting outside of the normal main quest.

Glad there is one more.

Oh, I didn't know that was your other character, that's cool, kind of like a cameo/easter egg for those people who know her. That's cool. :thumbsup:

"Salessi, where have you been? I was so worried." http://i.minus.com/iSBRRckRTPArT.jpg "You just left and well... wait who is this?" her eyes darted cautiously to Kharjo when she realized I was not alone. http://i.minus.com/ib2JbRF15hCgy6.jpg I began to explain. http://i.minus.com/i9njA2yrHCaK2.jpg I smiled faintly at Aela. This was hurting my pride which was like a large piece of burnt meat... hard to swallow. "But... I think it would be best for our friendship and my place within the companions to continue is that I keep myself busy out there. So here are the snow bear pelts you requested and I would like another job if you have one. Just keep me busy."

http://i.minus.com/iJvoT6fIcW77s.jpg Aela took a moment to respond. "I know I had to come across a little harsh before but I would do it again if I had to. And I am glad you can see that I was not chasing you away."

"You have Kharjo to thank for that."

http://i.minus.com/iMzagYpnWoovs.jpg Aela thanked Kharjo but I could still sense some tension in the air from all of us. At least I had confronted my anger and the attempt was made to smooth it out. "I do have more jobs for you, but I really think you should see Skjor for one."

The moment of truth... was I really willing to forgive and move on? I took a deep breath and smiled faintly. http://i.minus.com/ibsaIcXp21xIWO.jpg

"Salessi... its not the importance of the job that matters. Its completing what you are asked to do regardless of if its beneith you to do so."

No truer words could have been spoken so I left Kharjo in her company and went down to see Skjor in the living area. As I expected, he made no comment about my week long absense and did in fact have a job for me. And it was beneith my abilities but I obediently took the job. http://i.minus.com/ibjZYMEUeFZxN4.jpg Skjor reminded me that beyond Riverwood was out of Whiterun's law so it was important to stop him. By any means which I took to imply I was to kill him and be done with it.

http://i.minus.com/i9egtZRCc90aH.jpg and with the moonlight http://i.minus.com/if4oqUcBBvemk.jpg I took aim at his head and killed him. As we stood there over his dead body Kharjo took a deep breath and sighed. "Khajiit understands we must report back now? We were rather hoping for more of a hunt."

"Well Riverwood is not to far off. Why don't we go there and trade some things at the trader there and take our time returning to Whiterun?" I suggested to which Kharjo replied that he found that to be a wonderful idea. He had made a comment earlier about how Jorrvaskr smelled like it was full of dogs and was glad to be out of there. I had only laughed but kept quiet otherwise. He had no idea.

http://i.minus.com/iCKBZPmj7h5yK.jpg We both remained silent as they argued about going how she wanted to go get it and him telling her it was to dangerious. http://i.minus.com/ibkKn1E6FlHknh.jpg When they were done arguing http://i.minus.com/irB2BvBATeazp.jpg as well as gems and other items http://i.minus.com/iblWW17MX109BE.jpg and http://i.minus.com/iReYXnBuVbVV2.jpg Then it was off to Bleak Falls Barrow.

It was clear we were on the right path http://i.minus.com/ibhHfdBq421z0Z.jpg we took out. http://i.minus.com/inOaipWn32CoV.jpg as our hunting senses helped us locate them without them seeing us. http://i.minus.com/imBjWiCmWFLYy.jpg despite the weather here which gave us the idea they thought something important and requiring that claw was crucial to guard. http://i.minus.com/iNaOdosgWGqj5.jpg

"Tempting Kharjo." I shivered "But I know that most nordic ruins are muggy and hot... smelling of the dead. You'll wish you could take off that fur."

"We shall see."

http://i.minus.com/ilXYndmgYeWsz.jpg We had overheard them talking http://i.minus.com/i96euGxk18CdW.jpg and how they were preparing to go after him. Well now instead of them going after him, it would be us. But now we had an idea of the numbers we would be facing in here. http://i.minus.com/i4BGGNrKDf62w.jpg to which I had no problems http://i.minus.com/i728FYJQGZdBk.jpg Or course I was kidding http://i.minus.com/i3oMlXTcPJXRR.jpg I liked how it made him grin in that whisker khajiit kind of grin and the way he would stroke his throat. http://i.minus.com/ibvruMNeueM6TA.jpg knowing that there was likely more then bandits down here so we http://i.minus.com/iXpsojZwMEgEf.jpg

http://i.minus.com/ibr4yZFCs2NRlP.jpg one of those rotating carvings Kharjo and I had encountered in Yngol's Barrow.[/url] I did not give him a chance to solve the puzzle before http://i.minus.com/iC70laeF6NJcj.jpg He probably would have gotten it wrong and caused poison darts or something to fly from the walls. http://i.minus.com/ibv29feGaJKt0s.jpg but now I noticed http://i.minus.com/iuIct4tLtE4bp.jpg I hate spiders, but that was no reason to stop. Though had I known it was going to be http://i.minus.com/ibjOjyKRN5Q91G.jpg

http://i.minus.com/ibqIlin9ijkRbl.jpg all the while dodging the poison it spat at us. http://i.minus.com/ipLWvRI1m9ip3.jpg I yelled back at him. Lucky for both of us we were able to pin it down and kill it http://i.minus.com/icZ6AoV5KyPK8.jpg "Thank the gods you arrived, now cut me down."

http://i.minus.com/ib0eEH5efpLc3S.jpg I replied before taking aim at his head and putting an arrow into it. I have no mercy now for the ones I might have considerd family not to long ago. And after searching his body we found the stolen claw. http://i.minus.com/igZgzmzR9Vv4m.jpg

I couldn't have put it better.

She's just got that look that says " you want me to what? I don't think so...." LOL

Inanna and Aphyd made a stop at the Guardian Stones to collect Inanna's stashed treasures from Hammerfell, then took the White Phial and Chrysamere and headed toward http://i.imgur.com/o3lBwCe.jpg.

"Sentinel must be really worried about your absense," http://i.imgur.com/L0MlOnH.jpg. "They'll be glad to have you back in one piece."

"Yeah, but I'm sure the palace will be quite angry with me afterward."

They passed through the gate.

"I've made a decision," Inanna began, "about who I want to give Chrysamere to."

"Oh?"

"I can only think of one Redguard warrior who is worthy of such an artifact."

"Who's that?"

"You." http://i.imgur.com/Jyz6P8v.jpg, "Aphyd, I'd like you to be my Champion."

"What?!"

"When I hired you as a mercenary, I never thought we'd become so close. If not for you, I would be dead now, or else I would have lost my mind to the Daedra. Or worse. You're...like a sister to me....and I want you to stay at Castle Sentinel with me and http://i.imgur.com/FCr7hRN.jpg."

"Inanna..." http://i.imgur.com/y0BZFa5.jpg. Finally, she spoke again, "okay. http://i.imgur.com/unLyJ2l.jpg...http://i.imgur.com/mLq83bB.jpg."

"http://i.imgur.com/U4uH0BM.jpg"

"http://i.imgur.com/fJwBJHY.jpg"

Inanna grinned, and the two girls set off for Sentinel. Aphyd got to wear Inanna's crown on the way back, and she felt like a princess.

-------

That's all, folks! The end of Inanna and Aphyd's story. I hope you guys enjoyed. :smile:

I currently have ideas for two new characters, and I can't decide which one I'll do next. I'll probably let you guys choose, but that'll be later.

Starting Dawnguard

Spoiler

http://i.imgur.com/5LUlLGj.jpg, the place she called home for so many decades. The rumors about vampire activity are to frequent to simply ignore, she thought, turning towards Windhelm she http://i.imgur.com/IBSZLHW.jpg as her body began to evaporate into a http://i.imgur.com/QsuFyw6.jpg only tohttp://i.imgur.com/ewmUDYi.jpg out of view in front of the great city. http://i.imgur.com/8vZGWG1.jpg, Rose thought as she http://i.imgur.com/GGL0qto.jpg. As she approached the large gate she stopped as a guard began to speak.

http://i.imgur.com/DbxswQA.jpg the Dawnguard? He finally did it then, I suppose it was naive to think I'd be able to avoid him, Rose http://i.imgur.com/UOk2HES.jpg without a word hoping to get more information before searching for Isran.

Rose began to wander the city, unsure of what to look for, as she rounded the corner towards the forge a rather http://i.imgur.com/nQXSWbz.jpg. "You, Nord, the Dawnguard is recruiting and you look like the kind of woman able to help." I guess Isran's little club is the only way forward, http://i.imgur.com/orGP02Q.jpg

"The vampire threat must be real enough if Isran is openly recruiting, I know where to find him and you can expect me there within a few days." with that she turned to leave without waiting for a response, the last thing she wanted to do was have to explain her past with Isran. Rose walked towards the tavern, it's almost morning I guess I should sleep some, she thought before http://i.imgur.com/9asCKd8.jpg As she walked through the door the inn keeperhttp://i.imgur.com/39ON5cq.jpg

"Hey, you Rose?" Rose was caught slightly off guard as she http://i.imgur.com/3g6HxIu.jpg.

"...Yes, why?" Who was this woman and how did she know who she was?

http://i.imgur.com/mNmf2p4.jpg Rose waited a moment before walking towards the room prepared for her. http://i.imgur.com/bZqrWMT.jpg. Rose noticed a package with a note attached off in the corner of the room.

Rose,

We had these made a long time ago but it seems no one ever really had a need for them and I thought you'd like them.

I'm not sure if we will see each other again but I wanted to say thank you for assisting us for so many years.

Just please be safe out there.

Carcette

How in the world does she do these things, I'll have to stop by later and say thank you, Rose thought. The package was a set of robes dyed black but more armored than the typical Vigilant set, Rose stripped down and http://i.imgur.com/tG0a2JC.jpg. It fit quite well and would provide for much more protection than the normal set of vigilant armor.

Rose set aside her old clothing and pulled back the sheets and slept for several hours until sunset, as she woke she grabbed a vial of blood and drank before leaving the in and the city. The journey to Riften was uneventful and long, finally Rose came upon the http://i.imgur.com/A9Ve4lR.jpg. http://i.imgur.com/9o7PA7m.jpg, Isran is not going to be pleased to see me, but he doesn't have a choice, even he won't be stubborn enough to ignore that. Rose pushed her way through the cave-like entrance before http://i.imgur.com/XGWjnuk.jpg. The short road leading up to the Fort was filled with the frightened voice of some farm boy come to join the Dawnguard, Poor kid, he won't last the week should we be attacked, Rose thought the http://i.imgur.com/2AbkF5t.jpg. As she walked towards the steps a familiar voice echoed through the canyon.

http://i.imgur.com/xBfxiJ3.jpg Celann was waiting on the steps to great new comers, "I'm glad you're here, we need all the help we can get, just don't expect Isran to be happy you're here." Celann smiled as he placed a hand on Rose's shoulder.

"Thank you Celann, it's good to see you as well, and I can handle Isran, you know that." Rose smiled before http://i.imgur.com/h2rQoXT.jpg

Without hesitation http://i.imgur.com/oHSxA3q.jpg and the Vigilant talking in the center of the room, Isran stopped mid-sentence as he spotted her.

http://i.imgur.com/gOpVw2V.jpg Rose cut him off angrily.

http://i.imgur.com/FZdM5eg.jpg Isran stubbornly brushed her off.

http://i.imgur.com/mdOwQIS.jpg I swear his smug attitude is going to get him killed one day, Rose thought before speaking.

"And I don't remember requiring it! Or have you forgotten, http://i.imgur.com/gYDoaLi.jpg" http://i.imgur.com/W7eozMv.jpg

"Please you two, the situation is worse than we thought, the Hall has been sacked, they killed everyone. Carcette, she's...dead".http://i.imgur.com/3eZZwMI.jpg, Carcette? But, I was just there! She could feel a familiar rage build up inside her as she http://i.imgur.com/guMWZbQ.jpg.

"I'm going to slaughter each and every abomination I find." Rose could feel the hate building up within her as she heard Isran speak from behind her.

"Hmph, fine you can help but if you get out of line I'll..." Rose didn't let him finish and within a heartbeat she was http://i.imgur.com/EOIHcGv.jpg.

"You'll what!? don't forgett Isran I could snap your neck like a twig! I am going to end these bastards, you can fall in line or step the hell aside!" There was a long silence before Isran finally spoke again.

"Very well, go to Dimhallow Crypt, the vampires are looking for something, find it and return." Rose turned away and left the Fort with a simple warning.

"Don't get in my way."

Hope you enjoyed it more to come a t a later time.

Bhatia and Ghorbash had walked for hours silently until finally stopping to rest at a http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998592963367/A842250502482DF97B8C746F58D2330F1206DAE2/

"Ghorbash, I have to apologize, I got you into this. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593239359/B60A379BAAD0C4209A915FBF319BA8264D4D2758/

"No," Ghorbash said staring out over the lake. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593244278/4DD2BF339948C763C51833AE8DABDFCC9A0A8F19/ That was a long time coming. There had been tension between me and Burguk since I returned from serving with the Legion. What happened was inevitable."

After getting some rest at the mill they continued south the next morning eventually ending up in http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593246999/AE48997CC705236522E1A5F116CDE57BD643E055/

"I would just like to be alone right now." http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593249195/66E74397D3DFDF91E1CEBD6A7A6AA948C03824B9/

Fair enough. Bhatia thought and set out to look for something to keep her occupied.

Well, might as well start by asking the Jarl what's going on. She thought http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593253539/CB62FE5F91AD592A7F5B21E0C753897C33817304/

"Hmm, a visitor to my town seeks council?" Jarl Siddgeir asked as Bhatia approached. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593257058/0087ED0F965DAB95593E7BC3B91C93E8BF140233/ Bhatia could tell by the tone of his voice and his cocky smirk that he hadn't done a days worth of real work in his life.

I know because that's how I would look now if I hadn't left my home. "I was just wondering if there was anything in town that needed to be done. Some bounties that need filled or the like." Bhatia explained.

"If you wish to speak to me I require a tribute." Siddgeir continued, seeming to ignore Bhatia. "Bring me a bottle Black-Briar mead. There is nothing like the sweet taste of Black-Briar fresh from Riften."

"Are you serious? http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593260555/02002B8EF3EA536E90296642C2AD6415AF943E42/ Siddgeir sighed, rolled his eyes and waved his hands towards the door.

Before Bhatia could leave she was stopped by Nenya, the Jarl's steward.

"You'll have to forgive the Jarl, he can seem a bit... abrasive at times. There is something that you could do for us. http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593266983/1B61DCA1DAC664B821E40555FA48FE2073909747/ Lately there have been disturbing noises emanating from it in the night. We'd be grateful if you could investigate it for us. I can't offer you anything in reward but I'm sure you could find something of value in an old ruin like that."

Bhatia shook her head. "That sounds fine, I'm just looking for something to do while I clear my head."

Bhatia set out as the rain began to clear and the http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593263517/56B57A3F25343A3567F71677D6E5C74F359A6B5D/ She climbed the mountain path leading to the old ruin, http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593272065/8A813ED2976E13AF8194E668ECC1B9D88D3CEBF2/

I wonder why Ghorbash didn't kill Burguk when he had the chance. She though as she fought through the ruins inhabitants. It seemed a coven of vampires had moved in, http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593291402/5750E6ED8763FE9D12BF0E8231C0655C03566FF7/

He could have taken the mantle of chief for himself, did he spare him out of respect? Or was it because of me? http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593293654/DCA24767F77B64AC56B385AC6D51A6E4C58F849C/

She continued to mull over her thoughts as she moved through the http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593296076/1544BA5EAD6F44E12B86E5BFC02DA1FEB07FB63C/ and http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593299705/4EBCBDAB257431B0FD174BD67092CC125CF14884/

What did he mean when he said 'It's not like that'. what is it like between us?

Bhatia soon found herself staring down a http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593308908/2A0600402C091325DE85C7D980226EAD23F33586/

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593314374/E36A76A4AD0F64A9BC7695490AA7A1ADD96AB30D/ A bit of searching revealed a chain that could be pulled to stop the flames. Bhatia moved forward and entered the room the flame traps had been guarding. Inside was http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593320032/A2CB2F30124B2A2C4485E1B94EAD4AB0914676F1/

Bhatia fought them with the full fury of Volendrung. When the master vampire was close to death she transformed into a http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593324586/DC04631F3869FF448E4189D7311C3A92970B5AE1/ and lashed out stronger than before. Bhatia was just able to bring her down. She checked herself after the fight to make sure she hadn't been bitten or scratched. Fighting vampres could be a risky business.

With all of the defenses gone she finally approached the main chamber.http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593329400/39F1F58E6A9BD713D366812D891427836DB7019D/ but he was no challenge after felling a master vampire and http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593331873/01AC48600B4269E3FEDD2B7F1760A7CBAC2FCBDD/

"This tombstone, http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593334733/405AF67EE7A99E97174CD37E6A0357BC40E85C78/ She said approaching the intricate wall.

"Foul. . . air?" She read. "Yes, the air certainly is foul here."

The final door led to an overlook on the mountainside.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081138998593339363/3DA315923C387D7F3F0B6EE79CAC419383113E04/
