It’s a long lonely road with my brother and our friends. Kobold’s had ambushed us twice in the area before we dealt with them and their leaders in the caves. For the first time I was scared as I lay dying watching my brother dying as well as I was powerless to stop it. I realize this was why Arjhen was so protective of me and we learned to fight as a cohesive unit for a good reason. His protective nature always felt like a drag and a hinderance but now it feels more like shield of strength. Even so the feeling of dread as my eyes closed for what I thought was the final time, I couldn’t help but think of our parents and other scattered Dragonborn that we weakened for dying there in those caves.
Heroes we may be but our near deaths in the caves make my resolve tremble a bit. Whether unlucky or not it took nearly all of our strength to end the Kobold threat and in doing so showed me our mortality which is considered a weakness for the Dragonborn. I admire Arjhen as he seems more confident than ever as he cheated death and came out stronger for it. He marches on as if he faced death and death blinked first. Was it more than luck? Is there something in his destiny and perhaps mine that favored us?
Or could it be our roguish friend Tilverton who has once again saved us with his last minute heroics. His charm could be his own undoing but his skill and luck is a real boon as is his friendship. I cannot express the relief I had when I opened my eyes and saw a bloodied Tilverton and Pieter standing over my brother and I. We quickly looted and returned to town to receive our rewards and rest our battered bodies.
Our next quest seems to be to find out what is going on at the ruins of Shadowfell although most of the town including the Lord seems to think nothing to going on there except the whispers of the past on the wind. No one seems to have gone there thinking there is nothing happening there and that in itself could be our danger. As our group moves forth I hope to persuade them to be more cautious and better prepared for the unknown as the like the caves the unknown could be more deadly the next time.
