Honohall Orphanage

"So back to traveling," complains Mina that was riding on Lily following the street with Vincent, who was on Behemoth.

"It can't be helped if we don't stop this crisis who will," says Vincent seriously.

"How about the Dawnguard. They are after all Vampire Hunters. They should know how to stop them," complains Mina again.

"That's why we are traveling to their Headquarter to find out if they have a solution to this problem," says Vincent as Behemoth wants to fly for a bit and both Behemoth and Lily begin to fly through the air towards Riften making a stop in Ivarstead to sleep there before continuing their travel.

They arrive at the gates of Riften and wanted to rest in the city when they get stopped by the gate by a guard, who says, "Stop stranger. If you want to enter the city you need to pay a fee."

"Does the guard have a death wish or does he really not know who he is talking to," says Mina, who was now angry because she wanted to enter the town to rest for today.

"It seems it hasn't made much of a round yet that I'm High King of Skyrim let's talk to him first," says Vincent, who turns towards the guard and says, "Man it would be for your best interest not to stop me here and let me enter the city before I have to take drastic measures against you."

"And what would that be, bore me to death. Just leave if you can't pay the fee," says the guard again when he then felt killing intent coming from Vincent's direction.

Vincent's aura could be seen as he says, "I want to talk to Jarl Laila Law-Giver right now. Tell her "Her King" is here. I really want to know about what this fee is you are talking about. If it seems you are misusing your position for your own gain I will kill you myself for doing so."

The guard now realizing what was going on goes to his knee and says scared, "I-I di-idn't kno-ow it wa-as you, my lo-ord."

"You should have listened when I warned you first now it's too late," says Vincent as he sees a group of guards arrive at the gate.

"What is going on here?" asks the captain wanting to know it.

"This guard demand a fee to enter the city. For what is that fee used is my question. You Jarl never informed me about this," says Vincent making the accused guard feel shivers run down his spine.

"There is no such fee. If he really did so we will take care of this person," says the captain wanting to take the guard in custody when Vincent's spear was faster and killed the guard on the spot.

"Are you crazy. Even if he was a criminal you shouldn't have killed him," says the captain angry also not knowing who Vincent was.

"I want to see your Jarl. She should have arrived here from the Moot already," says Vincent as the aura behind him growls.

"How do you-" says the captain before being interrupted.

"Because I was there too. Now either you bring me to her and take this body away or I will have to send new people to guard Riften after I'm done," says Vincent making the guards shiver from hearing him.

"Yes, sir," says the captain before turning to his underlings saying, "Take the body away and clean this place up."

They then enter the city following the captain to the Mistveil Keep were they enter and they see Jarl Laila Law-Giver sitting on her throne.

She sees Vincent in his armor and stands up and walks towards him and knees in front of Vincent while saying, "My King. I didn't await you."

"So it seems even when you should have. Since the Dawnguard Headquarter is right behind Riften. I want you to discipline your guards a bit so they don't misuse their position by inventing some fee to enter your city. I killed the one that tried it against me earlier," says Vincent making Laila feel shills.

"I will do so my king. Will you be staying here?" says Laila wanting to find out.

"Don't worry I will sleep in the inn after inspecting the Orphanage. It came to my ears that the one leading it is a foul person," says Vincent remembering Sofie's sentence about a boy running away from here because of the caretaker.

"Do you need some guards to help you?" asks Laila still afraid that her head could roll any moment.

"The captain will be enough company for this inspection. I only hope you do as ordered or next time it will have consequences," says Vincent making Laila know he won't overlook it the next time. Then he looks to the captain and says, "Bring me to the orphanage."

The captain nods not being able to speak from the shook he got some seconds ago and guides them to the orphanage.

"You looking for more children to adopt?" asks Mina interested.

"If they are worthy. I will since a little competition between siblings is good," responses Vincent as they arrive at the orphanage.

They enter and find a lovely girl cooking food for the children while the children were listening to a horrible history that an old hag was counting. That made Vincent angry when he heard it and points his spear at the hag and says, "Woman do you think an orphanage is to be lead like this. I should just kill you and make the girl that is cooking the next Headmistress of this orphanage."

Grelod not knowing who Vincent was and says angrily, "And you are who to tell me how to lead an orphanage."

"Your King. Captain take this woman away and make it silently. I don't want the children to know about this. Give the girl that was cooking the job as Headmistress from today on. She looks far more qualified than the old hag," says Vincent and the captain takes Grelod away making the children somehow happy to find out that Grelod wasn't in charge any longer.

'Now let us look at the children maybe there is some talent to be found within them,'thinks Vincent as he looks at all four of them and find the boy named Hroar and the girl named Runa Fair-Shield interesting with Hroar having ambition to became a great warrior and Runa having a vast Magicka reserve for a child her age.

"When we return back home we should take those two with us," says Mina while Vincent was thinking over it.

"Yes, we should. Hroat would make an excellent warrior if trained right and would be an excellent protector. Runa is my worry. I know almost nothing about magic and would need to get a teacher for her from the college or even sent her there so she could learn," says Vincent thinking about them as if they were his already.

Then he turns around and says, "But first we must go to the Dawnguard Headquarter. After that, we can adopt them and bring them to New Haven (The name of the House he built)," says Vincent as they both talk to the girl Constance that was now the Mistress of the Honorhall Orphanage and made the papers ready.

They wanted to leave when they see Runa peak out to them and Vincent says, "Maybe I can train her after learning myself since she has a talent for stealth too."

"What do you mean?" asks Mina confused.

"She could be an excellent Ninja if trained right. Its something like the Nightingales in your history just that ours kills too. They are like a mix of the Dark Brotherhood and the Nightingales," says Vincent shocking Mina since the Dark Brotherhood is not well seen in Tamriel.

"So Ninjas kill for money and fun," says Mina a little angry by misunderstanding Vincent.

"No, they do so to protect their lord. They are serving a person in a high position and protect him and his people from the shadows. Sometimes it's killing another it's manipulating and another just simple stealing. Runa has talent in it and now I want to foster her even more," says Vincent as both leave the orphanage.

They walk to the inn and order a room for tonight and sit on a free table when the Argonian waiter says, "Weren't you born under the Hist like every other Argonian. If it is so it would explain why you have so little scales on your body."

"No my mother carried me like every other child until I was born. I'm not an Argonian sorry to disappoint you," says Vincent.

"I'm Talen-Jei, my love Keerava owns this Inn. It just rare to see a new species walking in Skyrim. Must be since the war is over and you have nothing to fear any longer," says Talen-Jei before been called by another client.

They were eating fine while two people were looking at them one was a woman that was already a little old to be interested in Vincent and the other was a man with a goatee both were in different places looking at him.

"You are quite popular don't you think so," says Mina, who also noticed them.

"The woman seems like I meet her before. But the man is new," says Vincent trying to remember the woman and then he says, "Right, she is Maven Black-Briar. She is one of the most influential persons in Riften and in all Skyrim. She wanted to become Jarl of Riften but I wanted to keep the Jarls as they were. She must have a grudge about this. Tullius was sweating like he was a skooma addict that didn't have his skooma for weeks after hearing me reject that proposal."

"That could be bad don't you think so. Having someone like her around you right now. What if she blows your cover," says Mina worried.

"Don't think she would or she would lose her footing in Skyrim by angering me. Everyone knows that the High King controls Dragons. I don't think she would try to do a foolish thing as to try to kill the only person that is holding the dragons back from killing some humanoids and making them slaves again," says Vincent explaining why he didn't fear Maven.

"True, but what about the other person?" asks Mina curious.

"Either he worked together with the guard that I killed an hour ago or he is a family member of him," says Vincent making some theories about the man that was looking at him a little angry.

"We should go up now that we have eaten," says Mina as she stands up and Vincent gives Talen-Jei the money for the meal before following Mina.
