This is a double chapter for the votes of 5K and 8K last week
Part 1:-
People fight for four reasons For faith, for resources, for faht for faith is to have an idealism you want to spread or protect Toover the weak, to spread justice and to create hope for the future
To fight for resources is not soe to We live in a harsh world where everything is limited People need what makes their lives better and other people e wars and ht for family is the most noble of causes There is no need to explain here, it is the highest calling of them all dare I say more than faith Man without family is but a lone broken beast whose back is to the wind ever exposed Without faht for honor is to find the poetic ht and ht call None will ever understand this sort of fighting unless those who knohat honor is In truth, Honor wraps up every reason there is to fight and every reason there is not to fight So only understood by those who are true warriors
Noe face a tyranny of an oppressor whose ai but for its own advantage and every Nord soul we take is a man who could stick a spear in the hearts of those enemies
We are the many, they are the few
They fear us
This is how I see things
It doesn't mean I look down on your cause orelse completely different
What side would I be on?
Skyrim, the Nords, Winterhold
Am I worried about the Thalmor?
No, you saw me kill them like weed and cover the land with their blood
What about the ones who assaulted et But I kno to defeat and oppress them how I see fit
Am I afraid of retribution?
No I don't fear retribution or bloodshed and I'd kill half of Tale hair on my cat let alone my family
I'd bear any sin in the world to prove that and I fear nothing for I a
Those High Elves I killed were too h Elves is a father and a son, how many families did I ruin just in five minutes?
Of course, I have no sympathy for Altmer enemies but Nords are a different story They are hters of Skyrim ere born under the skies of Kyne and the bones of Shor
What about Talos?
He is the Dragonborn God, it would take more than some lowlife elves to diminish him from divinity
All in all, there is no reason for acy of Nords and everything they fought for I don't know about that but best of luck, you are facing the Empire
The very same Empire that already fell apart and faced the Aldmeri Doed to reach a stalemate despite the odds
You sure you want to put Nords in front of that?
Do as you wish, I won't stop you but don't co for my aid in this pointless bloodshed
” that answers your question, Jarl Ulfric I aht for ot really intense for a second” Alina said sneaking beside Jon
”Yeah, thank you for bailing out like that”
”Oh, your mood is quite the foul one Also, Ulfric looks like o”
”You did such a thing?”
”Yeah, I wanted to impress Master but I found out that she sleeps whenever she hears them”
”Yep, those are her poison”
Jon took an empty seat with a tired mood
”Hooman, do you need some fluff?”
Out of Jon's shadow, Nefertiti juirl”
Jon cuddled with Nefertiti right in theher tail
The rumors of Thane Jonhild's weakness to cats seemed to be true after all
After a couple of es stepped towards Jon and spoke
”Thane Jonhild, may I…”
”You smell like hidden motives Get away from me”
Jon's reply ift and theback where he caain your sass!” Alina shook her head wryly
”Yes, I aood now Thank you, Nefertiti”
”You welcome, Hooman”
Nefertiti took her place on Jon's lap and didn't pudge while the latter was actually enjoying being chosen by her meowjesty
”Jon, may I have a word” A voice called for him
”Hey, Vittoria”
”Alina, may I borrow him for…”
”No”
” Okay”
Vittoria felt aard by Alina's hostile reply so she sat on Jon's other side
”So… we really didn't get the chance to speak ever since you came but… do you prefer Jon or Jonhild?” Vittoria started to talk nicely
”Both are fine but I'm used to Jon”
”Fine Well… I was really worried about you the last few ether and…”
”How is your fiance, Vittoria?” Alina interrupted
”Who? Oh, you uess”
Alina looked at Vittoria with annoyed eyes as the latter acted shamelessly around Jon, Alina's fiance
”Okay, tone it down What is the deal, Vittoria? Anything social let's leave it for the night, I a a party at ho II wanted you to take note of”
”The Imperials?”
”Indeed These people are associated from the Imperial Palace but not officially Court Wizards They are from the Synod”
”Okay”
”Just ree in Skyrim, the Synod are very involved in politics and would do anything to curry favor to His I?”
”They are after you After discovering you are the child that the Thalo, the Ih Council invited the Cult of the Ancestor Moth for testimony The Moth Priests decided not to interfere with you as it is their interference the first time hat caused trouble to you Soents to search for you and recover you to the Iency reported your full state in front of the Elder Council as you are a capable warrior and a strong e which may need interference from the Imperial Arch Wizards to invite you in”
”Seriously?”
”That is the case The Cult of the Ancestor Moth is going to send some priests to invite you peacefully and offer you protection in the I to contact you and lastly, the Synod are surely here to make a move”
”This is fucked up”
”I know your say in this but as far as we can tell, none of theoing to proceed with extreme caution”
Jon turned silent and closed his eyes Even Alina, who didn't like Vittoria very rateful for her constant help
Jon opened his eyes and nodded
”Thank you, Vittoria I owe you a lot now”
”Come on, that's what friends are for Just re with the Imperials, you must know that the politics of Skyrim and the politics in the Es The Synod, the Cult of the Ancestor Moth and the Penitus Oculatus are just three factions coveting more power and you are a major asset for any force in the E to happen I have my own plans”
”You will reject the Empire's summon?”
”With a splendid twist”
”What if the Emperor himself sent you an invitation?”
”You see, Vittoria Those people froe over me You knohat that is?”
”What is it?”
”They can all kiss my ass, I can't”
””PFFFT!””
Alina and Vittoria lost it at the sa Nefertiti to wake up from her nap and switch to the Shadow Realm for some quietness
”Ah! My sides hurt” Vittoria said as she calmed down and cleared her eyes
”I am aware of the Penitus Oculatus and the Cult of the Ancestor Moth but what should I expect frouys?” Jon asked
”Ehenificant aenuine haters for Necroeneral which are basically what you are faers and hoarders of ical artifacts frouess their interest in your collection”
”fuck, they are robbers in the end”
”That's what the nobles call thehty, they may be used for the sh politics in Skyrim Looks like I need an extra dose of sass” Jon opened a mead bottle and directly drank from it
”Just to let you know, these Synod will try to pressure the High King by threats like lowering the food exports of the Eendas sometimes They are mostly empty threats as I am the one in control over those her thanmay not try to suppress the food from the Empire”
”I see, I'll keep that in mind”
”I'll leave you to your preparations then Alina, can you introduce me to Patriarch Tormund Firemane? I really have some business proposition I want to discuss with him”
Alina looked at Jon who nodded to her so she took Vittoria and joined another group of people
Jon kept sipping so for hio to Viarmo but someone blocked his way
”What do you want, Elenwen?”
Without replying, she sat where Vittoria sat beside Jon
