This week 2/2.
Enjoy~♥

"So let’s revise what you said from the very beginning. That girl tried to kill you, the Thieves Guild asked you to solve the problem, you infiltrated Castle Duar and made a contact with her, with Rusning you were the ones who killed Sibbi Black-Briar, and after you left the city you returned back to set fire in the castle and break her out, now you guys are lovers?" Wulfur was getting bigger and bigger for so reason.
He was truly in the mood to scold .
"Hmmm! Amazing, right? No one except can pull such a thing off!" I said trying to make the situation look better.
"Yeah, you are right! No one is idiot enough to pull such a thing off!" He was not going to let it go at all.
"Sigh! I thought you are the one with a brain among us, Jon." Wulfur said as he finally got tired.
"With a brain? Co on, let’s see, I am a multi-tasking cat-lover magic-casting freak, you have so sort of steel fetish, Akara is a Khajiit who doesn’t fluff, Ysolda is a coin digger, Svidi has developed a third personality by now!"
"Whose fault were these?"
".... not !"
"Really? Let’s see, I was a healthy young man until you started showing these weird tools from your so-called past life, Akara got creeped out by your cat fetish until she learned how to talk the way humans do, Ysolda absorbed so many ways of making money from you until she lost her common morals, Svidi’s songs are no longer the normal stuff bards sing."
Every ti he spoke I lower my head more.
I could only raise my hand and whimper, "Guilty!"
"Oblivion, you are!"
His anger seed to be less than before.
Sigh!
"Once again. Jullanar, this Wulfur, my brother. Wulfur, the is Jullanar, my girl!"
I made a proper introduction.
They were still glaring at each other.
It was Jull who tried to kill once, and it was Wulfur who hit her with the hamr and sent her flying.
"I am this guy’s brother! He is a kind idiot who forgives people for the strangest reasons! I heard you have done well to this town so I will overlook the past, for now."
"I am Jon’s faithful follower! You may think of whatever you want, I don’t care."
""Humph!""
Sigh! Kids.
"Jon, what’s with that giant cat this morning, you cheated on Akara that fast?"
"Fufu! You an Nefertiti! A cute little thing, isn’t she?"
"A cute little thing that killed three pirates in less than a second! I am not able to keep up with you anymore! What’s her story?"
"Well, it started like this..." I started telling him my story with Nefertiti since the day we t when I rescued her until the thing with Hircine.
"Damn! My life was compared to yours. Except for the part about Bjorna, of course! Once she was going to leave, Ongeim ca and saved from the boredom."
"Good for you, bro! How is your life in our town!"
"Never dull, brother! Your friends from the ’Creation Club’ are sothing else! They have a lot of your work and the things we built are all around your basent!"
"Oh! About that..."
I started giving Wulfur my new requirents.
"Stronger! Co on, what’s your ga?"
"I want stronger magic cannons that can be fixed on the defenses we are about to build! I want the pirates to be killed in the sea before they ever set foot on land!"
"Even if we can build such a thing! Not even the Soul Gems mine and the hunt squad can provide us with such amount of Filled Soul Gems!"
I grinned!
"Who said anything about Soul Gems?"

Wulfur went ho after we had a few drinks that night and I went to bed.
The next day, a large ship carrying the banner of a lion with a mane of fire was spotted near the shoreline. The Bloodsail’s ship was nowhere to be seen.
Hehe! As expected!
The Firemanes are here.
They followed the rules of the official docks and wouldn’t co to the dock until the first light.
Well, we are no official dock yet but thanks.
I gave orders to give them the permission to dock right away.
After that, I got dressed in so civil clothes and went to see Nurina!
She was no where to be found but when I asked around, I learned that she was summoned by Savod Aren, the Arch-Mage.
I only had to wait for her in her chambers then. Putting thoughts into actions, I headed to the Hall of Countenance.
So people I know didn’t recognize at all. I guess that’s given due to my appearance change. Well, the Seal of Nurina that I have can take anywhere.
Just as I reached her chambers, I discovered it was magically locked with different thod than Nurina’s usual. I can break through it but it seems there is soone inside.
The magic signal is not bad but it is far weaker than Nurina. Nurina’s magic signal can cause to throw up if I tried to detect it. It is just massive.
Anyway, let’s wait in the lobby!
I put my hood on so people stop looking at and found so place to sit.
A few minutes later, Nurina showed up followed by a Laaneth and Faralda!
I went up and stood near the place they are walking.
"Hey, beauties!" I said in a provoking tone.
"Hmmm! Do you know who are you addressing, Fool?" Faralda lashed out in a cold tone.
"Fufu! Teacher Faralda, as cool as ever, even when you lash at soone." I said with a smile.
"Faralda, this is just a brat! Don’t lose your anger here, let handle him!" Laaneth said as she was ready to kick so ass.
"Wait!" Nurina spoke.
"Arch-Wizard he is just a kid, let handle him!" Laaneth said.
"Yes, big sister! Don’t worry about such scum!" Faralda got heated up too.
"You guys can beat him well alright but if he decided to escape, you won’t even catch his shadow." Nurina said.
Hehe! Dammit!
She approached and held the nape of my shirt.
"Why did you get that tall?" She asked in a bone shivering tone.
"It seems that it has to do with the blood lineage!"
Nurina looked at with complete disdain.
"Laaneth is fairly tall for a Dunr..."
Laaneth shivered.
"... that little girl Faralda is idioticly tall too..."
Faralda’s face got pale.
"... and now! You!"
Crap!
Nurina is sensitive about height.
She is not short but everyone she knows is taller than her.
She pulled down and removed my hood.
""Eh! Jon!"" Laaneth and Faralda exclaid!
"Hey, Teacher Laaneth, Teacher Faralda!"
The were still in a daze from my change in appearance.
Nurina took a deep breath and looked at coldly.
"Other than your head! The rest of your body is not my son anymore! Laaneth, the knife."

[Alina’s POV]
Scary!
I couldn’t sleep at night at all.
Last night I ca to master’s chambers and requested to see her.
Once I was let inside, I saw a golden skinned woman sleeping in the bed of master Nurina.
That was teacher Faralda!
I knew the rumors about their relationship but it seems that master is not even shy about it at all.
"What’s with it, girl? It is late!"
"Oh! Master! I am very sorry for disturbing your sleep!"
"I wasn’t sleeping! Sothing happened?"
"Ehem! Reporting to master, this disciple has t with Senior Jon this day!"
"Stop talking like that, dammit! Hmmm! Did he treat you well?"
"Yes! Master, he was a very interesting person and I learned so much from being around him."
"Fufu! Just don’t catch the bad habits!"
"By your wish, master!"
"Sigh! What are you here for?"
"Master! Since the day I started following you, I know how caring and lo..."
"Cut the crap, Alina! You want sothing!" Master said it straightforward.
"Let hide in your room, Master! I beg you!"
"Huh? Did sothing happen?"
"Yes, master. My clan wants to wed in another clan that has strong ties with us. One of that clan’s figures just appeared in town! I am already known in town and I will be found sooner or later! Please, Master!"
Master looked at and started thinking then she nodded.
"You are right, without your consent, I should protect you from a forced marriage!"
"Thank you very much, Master!"
"You can sleep on that sofa!"
And that’s how my Master agreed to help .
***
The next day ca and Master got summoned by her cousin, Arch-Mage Savos Aren. She went in a heavy mood.
After an hour, she returned back with teacher Laaneth and teacher Faralda. They were laughing for so reason.
"This rascal! To think he would escape from !"
"I was surprised to my wit’s end when he used that spell. Congratulations Big Sister."
"Congratulations, Arch-Wizard!"
"Thank you guys! We need to celebrate even though it is still early morning. Oh! Alina, co! Master is inviting you to a breakfast and an early drink!"
"Eh! Thank you, master!"
"Laaneth, I am sorry but go look for him! I think he returned back to town by now! And Faralda, order a servant to bring us a breakfast!"
"Right away, Arch-Wizard!"
"Okay, Big Sis!"
They both went away!
"What is the happy occasion, master?" I asked.
"Oh! Fufu, I caught Jon a minute ago and he managed to use a very advanced spell to escape from ! I can’t tell you the spell as I heard that you too will ne having a duel!"
"Well, congratulations, Master! I should congratulate Senior too for his achievent."
After a few seconds, teacher Faralda ca and said thst she ordered a lavish breakfast, then sat on the bed and held a book.
*knock knock knock*
"Who is it?"
"Lady Nurina! A person ca from outside the College with your seal, she said she is, ehem! A drinking buddy of yours."
Drinking buddy? To master?
I can imagine it and can’t imagine it in the sa ti!
"Oh! Finally, bring her! She must have brought a ton of drink this ti!"
Oh! Master ran? Wow! Didn’t see that side of her before!
She is mostly dignified and cold.
"You must be wondering, what’s going on!" Teacher Faralda spoke as if she read my mind.
"To Nurina, very few people in the world deserve her attention! Laaneth, , you and Jon are one of those ones! there are few other people like her Master and that drinking buddy, they share a strong bond!"
Oh! I know that Master accepted after she assessed my talent! Even though we both were forced on each other, she could have just sent away any ti she wants.
But I am still curious who can be a drinking buddy to Master. It must be at least another Arch-Wizard or sot...
"You old crone! Look at you, still short as ever!"
"Shuddap! Everyone in this world is so damn tall! Just leave alone, I am a normal person!"
"Bet you are! Haha! Where is the boy?"
"I sent Laaneth to find him, he must be finishing business in town!"
"Fine, let’s wait!"
I could see the silhouettes of master and another woman coming through the chamber’s door.
"Co, Faralda is here! I also want you to et my new disciple, this is..."
The two ca across the doorway and everyone could see the other clearly.
Impossible!
"Oh my..."
"Oh no..."
"My cutest Alina!"
"Auntie Hilda!"
