Chapter 119: We Are Home, Jonhild! (2/2)
”Jon! Can mommy corining, Dammit!” It seems that Nurina took the chance toa Storm Atronach Guar which is her favorite form for some childhood reason
[A/N: Guars are bipedal reptilian creatures native to Morrowind]
The reason why Hilda looked at the Flame Atronach Horse like that was explained by Alina as it see things and setting things on fire Well, it is not everyday when someone can be a member of a family of arsonists
What a tiuether! I was going to conjure so for Wulfur but he rode one of the horses the Firemanes prepared beforehand
The plan was to reach Kynesgrove before the sun sets
We took a road different to the road of the travelers as it seemed Hilda can't travel there on the back of a direwolf It was surprisingly a very smooth uncharted route that Hilda kneell
In less than half a day, we reached Kynesgrove
Kynesgrove is a s settlement located in Eastmarch It is located directly south of Windhelm The place has a malachite mine and some farms which I learned from Hilda that these are all Firemane property
It was also said that the trees in Kynesgrove are scared to Kyne, the Nordic Goddess of the Storm and the warrior wife of Shor, and the treesthat Alina is also very connected to Kyne Because e entered Kynesgrove, she y of the place
Still, connected to Kyne! I guess Alina didn'tWind is the ics so it was troublesoicka consumption was insane but it seems that Alina didn't face that proble connected to Kyne or whatever then
We passed Kyne's Grove to the east! and took the road going up the e circular mound
”This is one of the twenty two ancient hout the nine Holds of Skyri” Hilda acted as the tour guide
Everyone looked to the mound with different ideas in mind Guess I'll have to add to their infor theic These are actually ancient dragon burialplace of these creatures when they were slain centuries ago” I said
”Wow!” Jullanar was the only one who reacted
Hilda looked at randfather and your father will love you so on at their doorstep!” She said and laughed
Well, I a to make friends with one of them when the time comes
But
” I think you just said 'doorstep'!” I remarked
”Oh! We are close Let's hurry before dinner” Hilda said and Ylva ran fast We followed and kept cliet colder but we then arrived at the foot of a standing mountain No one talked as we expected more
Hilda then took out a horn and blew it After a few seconds, part of the mountains wall moved
”Haha! This is cool! I've never seen a house with a door horn before!” I said
”You have never seen a lot of things! Let's go” Hilda took the lead and rode in
What ent into was a large tunnel that al We lit the way ourselves and rode in The mountain wall closed itself behind us
It wasn't a long tunnel and we could see light frolade in the middle of the ht it looked cal lake it looked so calm and peaceful as if it is disconnected froe settlelade and it see in its end A fortress of some sort
The houses of the settlehts on No one would believe a normal place like that exist in such a disconnected area Except it is not norain
Hilda ju her yhen said that she will come check on her later Ylva then left on her own
”Doesn't she live with you?” I asked
”No, she has her own ho like a pet She is a friend and partner in criuess she is right! Ylva always acted naturally and calmly She didn't carry a saddle for Hilda to ride on too
”Hilda, you arrived!” An old voiced sounded
”Ol' Mord! You are on the gate duty tonight?” Hilda replied back It seeate
”Yes yes! Shall I bring you a horse to ride home?” He asked
”No! No need!” Hilda waved for him and he smiled and left
She then looked atwith you, Jonhild!” Hilda uess I should be glad this is not a real horse
”Let's hurry! Let's hurry! I smell dinner fro so to me in a faint voice
”We are home, Jonhild!”
