(A rather unforseen turn of events :P)

Kay assumed Dacian was ignoring her on purpose and sighed, resting her head against the wall.

She quickly fell asleep...

The campfire danced and sputtered as Dylan tended to it. He stretched and kicked back, wrapping his arm around Nissas shoulders. The couple giggled, happy to be in each others presence.

A small Breton watched them from the opposite side of the fire. He smiled, finding the couples antics incredibly endearing.

"Scott..." Dylan said, laughing heartily. "Why are you watching us?"

"Heh.." Scott smirked, looking at his feet out of politeness. "You two remind me of my wife and I."

"You had a wife?" Nissa asked, clearly surprised. "What was she like?"

"Have." Scott corrected, his eyes shining. "She...is the best thing in my world. Never down and she always has the biggest smile on her face. I can't wait to see her again..."

The three of their voices carried over the camp to the pointy ears of an Altmer studying a map.

''Hm. Just a couple of days walking and we'll be at High Hrothgar. ''The Altmer thought, glancing over to the campfire. His stern eyes softened.

''We've alredy lost so much, I'm surprised they've stuck around. ''His eyes settled on Nissa the longest.

''Covered in scars that are mostly my fault. The drive she has to protect everyone is simply inspiring...''

''Soon, it'll be over and we can finally move on to being 'normal'. ''

Just two more d-

"Saruille."

Saruille sighed, dreading to look up and deal with more of her complaining.

There goes my peaceful nights rest...

The Altmer looked to the voice. The Imperial stood before him was young, only in her early twenties yet her silver eyes carried the hardened look of a seasoned warrior. She too bore some scars. Not as many as Nissa, but it was not a competition.

"What do you want, girl?" Saruille asked.

"I want her gone. You know how much of a liability she is."

The old High Elf sighed and stood to his full height.

"No matter how easily she is lead astray by her emotions, Nissa is the strongest of us, you know that."

The Imperial raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding me? Saruille, half the people we lost were because of her! She's insane, can't you see that!?"

"Kay. Please. Now is not the time. I'm not getting rid of our best when we are so close to finally ending this."

"But Saruille! What if it happens again tonight? Do you want to wake up in the fire?"

Saruille sighed, the young Imperial Kay was far too irrational. A trait she shared with the Dark Elf she apparantly hated so much.

"That hasn't happened yet, and I doubt it ever will."

"But-!"

Saruille raised a hand to cut Kay off. "If you are so intent on this, why don't you keep watch tonight?"

Kay groaned, knowing there was nothing she could do.

"Fine. I'll keep you wastes of space safe for tonight." She muttered, turning and walking off to sit on her own, far away from the tents that were pitched around the massive fire.

Saruille shook his head in frustration. Two more days...

...

Kay hugged her knees, staunchly looking out over the horizon. Her lips trembled and she soon found herself crying, which only annoyed her more.

''Fucking...why don't they see? The woman is not right in the head! I feel so sorry for Dylan. Surely he must have noticed...''

Kay sighed, glumly looking at the Throat of the World. Its blackness loomed over the land and was a constant reminder of how they were being constanly watched.

Kay shuddered, feeling scared. She even let out a little yelp when she felt hands on her shoulders. She looked up instinctively and relaxed as soon as she saw who it was.

"You look down Kay, everything alright?"

"Y-yeah." Kay mumbled, wiping her eyes hurriedly. "I'm just...I just want this to be over."

"Well, it won't be long now right? We'll get to go back to reality soon enough."

"Aye." Kay agreed, smiling.

"Want to go for a walk?"

"I'm supposed to keep watch..." Kay mentioned, glancing back to the Throat of the World. "Who knows when she might turn again."

"Then...we should get away while we can..." The male whispered, right in her ear.

Kay couldn't help but blush. "Yeah, things'll be fine for a couple hours. L-let's go."

The Imperial stood up, holding hands with her friend and quickly walked away from Blizzards Rest.

Kay woke up silently, hoping nobody noticed she was awake, as she'd only been asleep a couple of hours again.

Quietly, she rolled up her shirt and looked at her stomach with a sad gaze. It was covered in several scratches, punctures and scars. Most notably, a large one running right up to her chest.
