My name is Bronkah Dovahkiir. This is my story. It Begins where it might have ended -- if fate had not intervened...
The Imperials had caught Ulfric Stormcloak, Jarl of Windhelm and leader of the rebellion. The civil war could have ebded this day. But the black dragon had other ideas...



Here we were on the road to Helgen, to our execution and on to Sovngarde...
"Sic transit gloria Imperii - So passes the glory of the Empire", I thought to myself. 



I was called up to the block after the brave Stormcloak Soldier. But then, out of seemingly nowhere...



The dragon saved my Life, but I was far from safe yet...



I followed Ralof, the Stormcloak Soldier into the keep...



We made it out together. Now we were on the road to the village of Riverwood...

Meanwhile, at Lakeviwe Manor...

Vilja and Tindra had both given birth...

Aster didn't know yet, but both of us had become fathers to beautiful little girls. He, of course, was busy in Riften, in Honeyside...
"M'rissi, I have something to ask you," Aster said. "Then ask her already! Don't waste time, she's all ears!" she said. "I'd like to take a little journey to someplace nice. Don't we deserve time off?" "She thinks yes. All the running about, and dusty tombs of pesky undeads. A vacation is exactly what she needs. But you will come too and she will not allow you to say no!" "Of course I will. Are you ready to leave now?" he said. "She is of course! Let her grab a few things and we will go!" M'rissi said.



"Ah, she is happy here. This is a good spot, yes?" M'rissi said. "I think so, too. But listen, kitten. I didn't bring you here just to lay about in the sun," Aster said. "You did not? Then... Why? You are not having funny ideas she hopes! And don't tell her here's another cave to clear!" "No, nothing out of sorts, you have my word. But I have to ask you a very important question." "Well go on then, why hesitating so much? She does not like to wait!" she said. "We've travelled together for some time, and you've always had my best interests at heart and I yours. We get along well, no matter what happens. And we cope with danger very well. When one of us is sick or hurt the other does all they can to help. Because all of this I've come to consider you more than just my partner." "What... What are you trying to say to her? A-ask your question already," she said.

"I think I've fallen in love with you. I want you to be my soulmate. Will you?" Aster said and presented the amulet. "You... She... Umm... She doesn't want to sound ungrateful, because she really does like you, but she doesn't think she should marry you," M'rissi said. "I have to admit, that's not the answer I was hoping for." "She knows, but if she were to say yes and her heart wasn't in it, then it would be worse than just saying no from the start, yes? She will find a way to thank you for all the things you do for her, just give her time!" "You're probably right. In any case, thank you for your honesty," he said. "You're not mad at her, yes? She didn't want to hurt you..." "I understand. Anyway, I thin you should make your own decisions and take care of yourself." "Do you... want to part with her now?" she wondered. "I don't want to lose you again. Who knows what else might be waiting for us? I'll look after you, as kin. I propose to you a kinship," Aster said. "Kinship? Mrr... Oh! She remembers, S'ahara told her once! Yes of course, she would be honored to have you as her kin! And you would be so lucky to have her as yours, as much trouble she keeps you from. She honestly doesn't know how you survived before!" M'rissi said. 



"She agreed to become kin with me, so let's begin the preparations!" Aster said. "It will be a simple thing, all this one needs is a bit of gold and time," S'ahara said. "Very well, I'll let you see to it." "This one will return in a day's time. Come see her then."

"Here we have more of something interesting to read..." Aster said. "Really? She awaits!" M'rissi said. "Here's one called Cats of Skyrim."
M'rissi pokes her nose into the book...
"Ald... al-de... aldetu... Freow! Such big and pointless words! Read it to her, no?" she said.

Cats Of Skyrim
A Report By Aldetuile
I have been sent to this frigid wasteland to catalogue and study any of its indigenous cats, which has so far been uneventful. After months of wandering I have so far only encountered some variations of the same basic species.
In my travels I have encountered several khajiit outcast from their clans that have taken up residence in Skyrim. They have been most unhelpful, probably for fear I'd expose their locations. I can't say I'm surprised that there are few khajiit here, it's cold and unwelcoming.
Sabrecats are basic giant cats that have evolved two dangerously sharp front teeth.
The average sabrecat has a reddish brown fur which it uses to blend into grassy regions, but I have observed them skulking and sleeping on rocks so I don't believe the fur is for camouflage.
The primary attacks of the sabrecat are its biting attack, but it can also briefly rear up to attack with its front claws. I have also seen it pounce forward on its prey in a particularly powerful attack.
The snowy version of the sabrecat has spotted white fur which I believe it uses more for stalking more than its cousin in the plains.
The tooth of the cat is rumored to be useful in potions that restore the imbibers stamina as well as a potion that will temporarily give a more keen eye for smithing.
An skillful hunter can usually salvage the pelts and teeth of their kill, but report that the meat is tasteless and not fit to eat.

"Monsters of cruelty! How could anyone think to eat such godlike creatures. Such barbarity! Why not dogs, mer, and men with other such useless creatures! ... Don't take it personally," M'rissi said.

The girls transitioned from infants to fully grown faster than any of us could have imagined. With the transitioning came desires my young daughter didn't fully understand, but she felt urged to satisfy. Sofia took full advantage of this to sate her own desires...

I wasn't surprised when my daughter decided it was time to leave the coop and spread her wings. Only heidi, Aster and Tindra's daughter remained. But who knows for how long she would stay before she too felt the urge to explore and find a mate...

At Lakeview, my women kept me busy. Aster came by with M'rissi, but he didn't stay.

https://ibb.co/hy5d98L

First Mirai, then Vilja followed by Sofia. Then Tindra moaned about being left out. It was really Aster's job to satisfy her, but since he's been necglicting her and neither Vilja nor Mirai objected, Sofia just seemed interested in seeing if I really could handle another woman after just having sexually satified three of them. Thankfully, Sindra was just watching. I don't know if it's a kink that young girl has or if she's just waiting for me to make a move on her. Well, I got enoughof a chore with the women I have, don't feel so compelled to add another one at the moment. But if she sticks around, who knows, I might add her to my harem. Or maybe Aster will...

I don't know what brought Sindra down into the basement, but she arrived just before it was Sofia's turn. And she stayed til the end. She must have a thing for voyeurism.

Aster decided to show up...



Time to go out and do Dragonborn duty again...

"Son of a bitch had it coming. I can't thank you enough. I know you didn't have to help me," Kaidan said. "What's the story with this sword?" I wondered. "The question on everyone's mind, even mine. The sword belonged to my mother. I never knew her, but it's my only clue to finding out who she was. Listen, I owe you my life, and I am not a man who's comfortable being in debt. If you ever have need of me, I'd be glad to fight alongside with you till that debt is repaid." "I'd be glad to have you travel with me," Heidi said. "I am your sword and shield." "So, what happened with the Thalmor?" I wondered. "Aye, I guess I owe you that. I'd been trying to find a way to cross the border to get into Pale Pass. Ever since Helgen it's been near impossible to get into Cyrodiil without a stack of papers for the Empire to keep track of you. In the meantime, I'd been picking up bounty contracts to keep some coin in my pocket. Must have drawn too much attention to myself. I'd been camping ny the lake when they ambushed me. It seems the Thalmor don't need much evidence to bring in a susprct. They took one look at the sword, decided I'd be a good target for interrogation, and dragged me off to this prison," Kaidan said. "Weren't you scared?" Heidi said. "Brynjar used to say, if you're not a little afraid, you're not understanding the situation. Fear I can deal with easily enough... But, there was a moment or two where I thought it might really be the end of me. The Thalmor would never let me go, no matter what I told them. You've faced down mortality too, perhaps you know the feeling?" "Yes, but fighting it is the only way to beat it," I said. "You really are formidable, aren't you? I could almost feel sorry for your enemies," Kaidan said. "The Thalmor will come after you again, you know." "Probably, and I'll be ready for them. Live and learn, right?" "About your sword... I recognize the runes on the blade, this is written in the Dragon language," I said. "It is? Strange, that they would write in Dragon, and not Akaviri. Can you translate it?" "Zu'u... kiir mindoraan Dovahzul. I think I could translate this for you." "I appreciate it, just don't burn yourself out over it. I've heard about a rare book written on the subject too, Dragon Language, Myth No More. There might be others on the subject we can look out for too," Kaidan said.

"M'rissi, your voice is beautiful, you know? Sing for me, please!" Aster said. The young Khajiit giggles. "M'rissi knows! And not only her voice, hehe. Yes?" she said. "She's playing hard to get. This is all a game to her. Well, sooner or later her lust will become stronger than her resistance. And that is the day I'll bed her," he thought. "You promised to sing about your homeland. Elsweyr," he said. "Oh, that one... Listen then. Ahem... It is harsh, the wind from the south. But it blows away all our doubts! It carrie the smell of our kins in the air. Oh dear Elsweyr. It is scorching, the sun in the sky. And it burns our enemy's eye. It keeps warm our heart and shines like thousand stars! Oh dear Elseweyr. It is warm, the sand of this land. A dreadful desert with no end. It's where we belong, a place to call home! Oh dear Elsweyr." Aster appluads. "Can you walk through fire with ease? That's pretty scary," M'rissi said.

"Khajiit welcomes the traveler. This one is called Baa'Ren-Dar." "Pleased to meet you Baa'Ren-Dar," Aster said. "Khajiit has a very special mission, can only be trusted to one with very special... hmmm, qualities." "Is there somewhere we can talk in private?" Aster said.
