The Return of Sithis, Volume 1: Awakening

Siegemund gritted his teeth. Who was this woman. He had patience lots of it.
With a grunt he jumped into the coach wagon and stared the trio down.
"You're right I can indeed wait, but I won't. I'm suppose to be turning in a quest and your wagon is in my way." He said matter of factly, showing the cuts on his face.

Annoyed at being ignored by the three people Siegemund kept off the carriage.
He couldn't help but here something about a temple which caught his interest.
"Mm. Maybe I might follow them." He contemplated. Or else get their attention.

" Hey! Guy with the Nice robes, where ya going?" He yelled.
This time he prayed he would not be ignored.

"I'm okay with that, but if you have other things to do, you don't have to walk me there," she said to Avenicci.

"Oh, you poor thing. I may have to teach you a few restoration spells. That is, if you're going to stay in Whiterun for a while," she said as they walked.

"I was just picking on you, and trying to make you forget about how nervous you were. But I really would love to teach you more about Restoration magic. Please? I love being able to teach other people, and if you could just learn a little, you would be a legendary mage!" she said, acting very animated and seemingly very happy.

Seeing that the two lovebirds had disappeared from sight, Siegemund opened up the door to the mead hall and ducks under a chair that Sailed out.
The Nord from before and a woman were brawling much to his disbelief.
"What is going on here?" A sharp voice came.

All eyes turned to a dark haired woman, with obsidian eyes.
She was dressed in black robes and a staff in her hand.
"Bela, we were just practicing." The male Nord chuckled.


Unfortunately, the female pol the opportunity to throw him across the room.
He slammed into the table and it cracked sending him to the floor.
" enough!" Bela commanded and turned her attention to Siegemund.

"Who are you?" She demanded. Siegemund pointed at himself," I'm Siegemund Grey-mane." He introduced.
Bela's eyes narrowed. " I don't remember. A grey-mane by that name." She said slowly, taking a step forth.
Siegemund didn't back down as he advanced, " recently came to Whiterun. Siglund is my Uncle." He explained.
Bela stopped her advancement and stared at him deeply.

Her state was unnerving to the mixed blood Nord an he quickly looked away.
"Abheim, is this true?" She questioned turning toward the male Nord who was standing up.
He dusted himself off and shrugged. "Not air about the grey mane part but I did assign him to a frost troll mission." He vouched.

Bela noticed the frost troll Talons in a small bag and grabbed them from his hand.
"True." She murmured before she looked at the boy.
"I assume you came to join the companions? If so, you are in and will be assigned a room shortly." She replied curtly and walked down the left hall.

Siegemund opened his mouth but Abheim caught him off.
" no good whelp. Bela is your superior in rank, refusing what she says is futile." He laughed.
Siegemund rolled his eyes and looked at the Female warrior that was leaning against the wall.

" welcome to the companions, here's the rules. We work as a team and are basically one big Family. We hint criminals and the like." The woman explained rudely.
Siegemund took in the information as she tossed him a bag full of Septims. "532 Septims for that." The Woman smirked.

She took a seat at the bar and it was only then Siegemund noticed a bartender and bottles of mead.
"Well I could do worse." He muttered and took a step beside the red clad woman. " Siegemund." He introduced, waiting for her response.
"Adarya." She replied and took a sip of her mead.

It was at that Moment Nephle walked through the door.
Abheim looked up with wide eyes and rushed over to her.
He leaned against the table and gave his best smile.
"Looking for a sign up list, because if you are then I'm right here."
He smiled.

"I'm sure she's take a frost troll." Siegemund snickered. He ducked under the bottle thrown at his head before addressing his imperial friend.
"Good news, I'm in." He told her simply.

Nephle took a seat in front of him, much to Abheim's frustration.
" you Aunt is looking for you. Said Siglund needed some help at the Skyforge." She informed.

Siegemund looked at a bottle of mead and contemplated drinking one.
" sorry kid, but we dot serve those under 20." The bartender gave a sympathetic smile.

Siegemund exhaled, and turned around ready to walk out the door.
" watch Abheim, he's a real charmer." He added.

Abheim took the time to take the boys seat.
Adarya spent the entire time chortling at his attempts.

"Got it." He said as he sort of half-carried her inside the nearby temple. "I have a patient seeking treatment for recurring headaches, nightmares, selective amnesia, and confusion."

Avenicci slowly set Lorelei down on a nearby stone slab for patients while one of the priests there began to tend to her, casting spells and reciting prayers while Avenicci went to talk with Dorian.

"What exactly do you think is going on with her?" Avenicci asked his servant as they sat down on a bench inside of the temple.

"I think she's either insane, not whomever she claims to be, or is faking the entire ordeal." Dorian declared unflinchingly as he took out a bottle of wine from his satchel. "Be careful, and don't get too comfortable. Remember last time?"

"Yeah yeah, won't do that again." Avenicci sighed as he turned away. "She doesn't even know who I am though, so she'd have little to no reason to stick around."

"She could be biding her time." Dorian commented before taking a large glug of the wine.

"To what end?"

"Because she can, and you'll fall for it."

"Why do you have to be so paranoid about her?"

"Someone has to. You seem paranoid about everyone else."

"Good point."

When Lorelei woke up, she could feel beams of morning sunlight on her face, because coming through the windows near the roof of the temple. As she blinked and her eyes began to adjust to the light, she started trying to figure out what was going on.

"Where am I?" she asked.

"What friends?" she asked, and then something else started bothering her. "And healing for what?"
