The Knights of the Nine were escorting the crusaders to Bruma. Despite the crusaders having agreed to come peacefully, the Knights still kept their hands on their weapons. They didn't trust heretics.

Ysabel continued northward, searching for Reman on her own.

Wrath watched from outside. He wasn't going to get involved to kill just one woman. He'd let his Sins do that menial task for him.

The keep was of decent size. It was built of stone and had rather sturdy walls. Katrina and the Court Wizard had been in the throne room, in the second story of the keep. She was right at the front windows, overlooking the town.

There were no guards outside and all the remaining inhabitants were either hiding in one of the many rooms or had traveled to the dungeons to try to escape. That included what remained of the guards. They were being led by the Housecarl, escorting the Jarl's family to safety through the secret passage in the dungeons.

Svenja grunted angrily. "So there is more than one of them. That must be why Stuhn showed himself, to warn me of their numbers. Bastards...first Falkreath now Helgen. They will pay for this."

"Falkreath? You came from Falkreath?" The woman asked.

Svenja nodded. "Aye, I'm all that is left of Falkreath. I came after the bastard that did it, but it seems that he has friends."

"If you came from Falkreath, did you see my husband? He and his unit were heading there to investigate." The woman asked.

Svenja remembered the dead guards she encountered on the way and realized that one of them was this woman's husband. "Mam, I'm really sorry to tell you this...but I did run into your husband. He is dead. No doubt killed by the same ones that destroyed Falkreath."

"Mendel...no." Lisa said and fell to her knees, crying.

Svenja knelt beside her and tried to comfort the woman.
