Refugees

Vincent entered the portal as Ciri accompanied him. They arrived at Highwind City and find the city more active than before. They walked through the city as Vincent was finding many more Elves around the city that didn't belong to Nirn.

Mina was administrating everything with the help of the others as Vincent approached them with Ciri and Vincent asks, "Who are those people?"

"Refugees," says Mina as she had a book in her hand.

Vincent looked closer and only found elders, women, and children between the people. Vincent wanted to say something when Mina stops him.

"They aren't from Nirn but Avallac'h's world. Mehrunes Dagon is working hard there it seems. The Mages from that World sent their people to a world that can be inhabited. What they didn't know is that you must have manipulated their transportation magic," says Mina as Vincent was seeing only a small number of the real number that took refuge on Nirn.

"I didn't manipulate it. Maybe it was Dagon himself who did that. He is after all going after a change, not after genocide. He has his own playground now that he will invade once every 50 years," says Vincent as he knew that he didn't manipulate anything there.

"Then he must have brought them here since they are defenseless not like the soldiers," says Azura as she knew Dagon better than anyone else present right now.

"Where do we take them? They don't even understand our language," says Vincent as Mina shakes her finger in front of Vincent.

"We used magic on them. They can understand us and we understand them. Also, we brought them to Akavir, Thedas, and Tamriel. They live under Mers for now while some brave souls live in the capital. It's good that the actual Emperor is a Bosmer," says Mina as Naomasa was still Single.

He hasn't found a woman that he could love. Almost all of them were after his power and not for who he is making it quite difficult for him.

"I really hope they don't cause any trouble I have already enough trouble on me," says Vincent as they entered their house.

"Ciri, you should enjoy yourself for now. In two weeks we will be going to your world," says Vincent surprising her.

"But the mirror," says Ciri as Vincent smiled.

"I repaired it a long time ago," says Vincent as Ciri hugs him and he petted her before she left the house.

"You are quite close," says Mina hinting at something.

"Yeah, but not that close," says Vincent when Anra comes out of their bedroom with a newborn child.

She ignored Vincent as she cleaned the child and entered the bedroom again when Mina asks, "What did you do?"

"I did something that enraged Kynareth," says Vincent telling them that he killed Lorkhan.

"You know that Anra served in a specific temple and you killed the husband of the Divine she has ties to," says Mina understanding Anra's reaction.

"I ha-" says Vincent before he was interrupted.

"I know that you had to do what you did. We all saw your expression when you read the book last time in front of Ciri and Avallac'h," says Mina putting him at ease before she continues, "Just understand that you will sleep on the couch beginning tomorrow since Anra will be sleeping with us women."

"Really," says Vincent as Mina smiles while touching his lip.

"Yep, we women need to stick together after all," says Mina as Vincent sighs.

Anra then returned into the bedroom with the cleaned newborn. Some minutes later a Mer woman left the room with Anra's help holding the newborn child in cloth.

"We modeled the house into an infirmary since the one lead by Merill is already full. Lyna and Theron are helping her as well as possible but there are too many that aren't accustomed to this harsh weather of Solstheim," says Mina informing Vincent why Anra helped the Mer woman to deliver when Ellana came down with a child that seemed to have a cold.

"Let's help those people by giving them some roof over their head by using the current vacant houses and rooms of households with free rooms," says Vincent as he didn't want a child to die under his watch.

Mina smiled knowing that Vincent would say that when she says, "We already did that. We are just organizing it so we don't separate family members."

"So I stopped you from doing it," says Vincent as Mina kissed him.

"Exactly, but let me tell you that I still haven't given up," says Mina as she left the house leaving Azura and Vincent alone in the house.

"You really had the guts to kill Lorkhan. I'm quite impressed and disappointed in you as a woman that lost her husband once," says Azura as she kissed Vincent.

"If he kept playing dead he would have survived," says Vincent as he didn't know that Lorkhan was playing dead until the Darkness attacked him.

"So he feigned death and ambushed you if I am correct. He deserved to die then but I feel quite sorry for Kynareth. She is or better said was a devoted wife. She would do everything for her husband except for killing someone," says Azura as she knew what Kynareth must be feeling right now.

"I just hope that she and I can bury this incident in the next few years," says Vincent as Azura shakes her head.

"She will hate you for all eternity. Don't think that she will forgive you after some decades or centuries. What would you do if someone killed Mina," says Azura as Vincent's eyes turned red from fury just thinking of it.

"There you have your answer," says Azura as Vincent calmed down.

"Shit, I need everyone to pull on one end of the rope to win against the Reapers," says Vincent as Azura kissed him again.

"She will help us since she loves every being on Nirn, excepts for you," says Azura stating the truth about Kynareth.

"But you should stay away from Anra for a month or two so she doesn't fall from Kynareth's grace as a Priestess of Kynareth," says Azura as Anra is still a devoted Priestess even if she doesn't work in a temple any longer.

"I will keep that in mind," says Vincent as he knew that Anra wasn't angry with him but she had to show Kynareth that she was displeased with what Vincent did.

Kynareth also knew that she couldn't make Anra deny her feeling for long since she was in love with Vincent.

"So in two weeks, you will be leaving with the group," says Azura as Vincent nods.

"It seems so, but we won't do anything since I will sleep on the couch," says Vincent as Azura smiled at him.

"Beginning tomorrow that means that you will sleep with us tonight. I want to know what you did in Sovngarde with Aela," says Azura curious since Aela was Vincent's first time.

"How do you know that she is there and not with Hircine," says Vincent as Azura smiled at him.

"You really think that Hircine would take someone from the Highwind Family to the Hunting Grounds knowing that the head could go into his realm and replace him as he did with Hermaeus Mora before," says Azura as she pointed out a fact why all Werebeasts of the Highwind family never enter the Hunting Grounds.

"But don't believe that he does that out of fear. He does it out of respect because you could command all werebeasts," says Azura as normally only Hircine could do that.

"Well, I could but that doesn't mean they will obey my orders," says Vincent when Azura smiled at Vincent.

"But they obey the laws you put upon them. That makes Hircine respect you and why he ignored Aela and her descendants even with them being Werewolves," says Azura explaining it precisely.

"Anyway, I should return to the smithy and begin to work again. The old man was quite proud but found some problems in the Energy Weapons that could be improved," says Vincent as he kissed Azura before he went to the smithy under the house.

Vincent begins to work again as he improved his weapons first by giving them some touches while his armor was next.

'It's time to exchange all the armors for the newer version,' thinks Vincent as he puts all his armors on stands while he carefully removed the Dragon Bone Plates or Dragon Scales Plates out of his clothes.

He inserted the new material into the clothes as they could defend him from a fatal blow while he began to created the outlook of chest pieces of all armors on the stands.

Then he retreated since he would only be able to sleep one day in his bed before they throw him out of the room. He was having fun excerpts for Anra who slept today in another with the mother and child she helped that day.

The next day he continued his smithing as he wasn't resting at all knowing that he needed to finish everything before he left for Ciri's World.

He finished three days before it was time to leave as he put a longsword on the table beside some daggers, a bow, a short-sword. Then he puts his armors and clothes back on to store them in the crystal as he did before.

He picked the daggers, the bow, and the two swords as he went up completely exhausted. The women could see that Vincent was quite exhausted from not sleeping the last week.

"I finished with the weapons for you," says Vincent as he gave Serana the short-sword and Karliah received the daggers and bow.

Then he turned to Kirvena and takes a sword out that every one of them recognized as the Dawnbreaker before taking a shield out that everyone knows as Auri-El Shield and says, "Now you should be fully equipped with weapons fit for a Paladin."

"It was time that you handed them over to competent hands like mine," says Kirvena jokingly before kissing her husband for gifting her the sword and shield.

"*yawns* I will take a bath before going to sleep," says Vincent as he kissed Kirvena before walking towards the bath when the women stopped him.

"Have you forgotten? We don't live alone in the house any longer," says Mina as Vincent yawns again and sat down.

"Are more refugees coming lately?" asks Vincent as Mina shakes her head.

"No, it seems Dagon is making his fifty years of rest right now. But we know that he has taken over three cities and seven villages before he stopped. That means he has now a foot in that world," says Mina as she gained that information by writing the registers for the refugees.

"That just confirms my theory that they are weak and rely on intimidation to win wars," says Vincent as he placed the longsword on the table.

"For who is this sword?" asks Mina as Vincent closed his eyes and fell asleep on the chair he was sitting making the women laugh that he fell asleep before he could answer.
