Elishka!
That girl with a sinful body from Solitude Bathhouse.
In Winterhold?
I rember she was going to get married and settle in her hotown!
Oh! What an interesting fate!
So she is from here?
And seeing how her face got pale when she saw only ans she is panicking!
If I knew she was here I would have pretended that I don’t know her but we lagged to each other now.
Sigh! How awkward!
"May I get two bottles of ad, normal Nord ad!"
"Yes! Anything else?"
"Thank you."
She is a married woman now! She may be the first woman I slept with in this life but I must know my boundaries!
After a minute she brought the ad. Morbagog ca after buying his stuff.
"Hey, Morbagog bro! Is there any establishnt like a bathhouse in Winterhold!"
He looked at and it seed he did get the aning.
"Don’t you like the bath in our dorm! We bring water from the sea and treat it with magic. What can a normal bathhouse offer?"
This guy is an innocent person! Too bad he may get influenced by .
Or there is already Eliel, but it’s a wonder this guy is taking everything on good will.
"You know! Bathhouses offer so sort of companionship."
"Hm! What do you an?"
Dude!
"Bath wenches, I an!"
"Eh!" He seed to have finally got the hint.
"What are bath wenches?"
Or not.
"Get closer and don’t utter a single word."
He got closer and I started explaining to him! He was exclaiming with ’Eh!’, ’Aah!’, and ’Wha!’.
"So things like that happen in Bathhouses!"
"Yes."
"No, Winterhold has no such thing! I heard of so boys and girls hanging out in the ’Midden’ but it normally ended in scandals."
"This is sad."
The ’Midden’ is the underground and the underworld of the college, all sorts of unauthorized stuff happen there. You’ll find traces of undead, dark rituals, or a dead student. It’s the danger zone of the college.
"So no one in the college can practice the ’private needs’ this easily, huh?"
"Well, yeah!"
This is gonna be tough!
After this, we dragged from conversation to another!
From Morbagog, I learned about the boy I hit this morning. Apparently, he is a big pain and problematic person. He was involved with so accidents but there was no dust on him.
"He made a team of many mbers and stolen a lot of researches from the other teams! He mostly enjoys it."
"What about that Nirenil?"
"Orthorn and Nirenil on the sa day? I don’t know how to react to that! Nirenil is the opposite kind of pain. She is convinced that she is so sort of ’Elite’. Orthorn knows that he breaks the rules but Nirenil doesn’t even recognize them! She may do anything to acquire power or knowledge!"
Good grief! Idiots are really everywhere.
Not that I am complaining! Idiocy is a cosmic law. Seeing this kind of people reminds of my past life. I had a boss and a senior who were that idiotic. I am a rebel by nature, but when it cos to money, I think I was disadvantaged at that ti.
Sigh!
"Don’t look disheartened. At least you have a background."
"How do you know about my background?"
"In the college, there are hardly any secrets. And you my friend is the hottest topic today!"
I knew this would happen.
Sigh!
Couldn’t help but sink into my chair and feel depressed, praying that the world may give a break.
Yet how can this world answer to a non-believer like ? Accidents always happen.
"What is that noise?"
An inn patron raised a question as there was so noise from outside!
A dragon attack?
No, still four years early for that.
"What is it this ti?" I asked and Morbagog went out to ask. I am too lazy to care.
"A collapse in ’Whistling Mine’!"
A collapse! In a mine?
That didn’t happen in the ga before.
I guess this is the price of an imrsive world.
People went into an uproar!
Seems like it is not a usual event.
"Let’s ask the jarl for help!"
"We need to get to the mine first."
"Gods! How did this happen?"
The people started running around trying to do sothing.
’Whistling Mine’ if I rember is the smallest mine in the ga.
Basically, so landmark to fill an empty barren road of snow.
The interior in the ga was small and icy with only two iron veins.
"Morbagog! What are the details?"
"A boy ca running all the way from the mine to here, he said sothing about the mine collapsing and people trapped inside. The Jarl is questioning the boy."
"How far is the mine?"
"If what I heard is correct, a day and a night walk."
"The boy ran from there to here?"
"He seed to be the mine guard!"
This is amazing! Even I can’t run for a full day.
"Look Jon! The college doesn’t want us to interfere with the locals, so let’s just keep to ourselves."
"I know but..." I don’t know how to think about this.
"Let’s just see how the Jarl will react!" I said and headed outside carrying my stuff.
The people were standing around the entrance of the Longhouse and Jarl Korir appeared to be giving a speech.
"Folk, we will deal with this. I’ll send whatever guards I can and everything will be fine, back to your business or whatever." Korir spoke half-heartedly and dispatched twenty guards!
Only twenty! On foot! Not going yourself?
The townsfolk’s faces took all colors, black from disappointnt, yellow from shock, pale from fear, red from crying.
The guard was a boy donned in the usual ga’s armor yet it covered more than the ga, of course, so purses on his face as he seed to have suffered from the damage himself.
Who was tending to him on the side were two won one of them was Elishka.
I sowhat was considered so I went to their direction. And as if she sensed , Elishka tried not to look at directly.
"Hey, mind if I help? I am a healer."
As if my help was not expected so people eyed with strange eyes.
The guard boy looked at and his eyes lit, "It’s you!"
"You know ?"
"Ah! I do, I was in the tournant too. You are the champion."
Oh! He is not the participant so I guess he was just a helper.
"Get healed now, talk later!" I evoked ’Healing’ and channeled it on him.
"Tell what happened." I whispered to him.
He looked around and nodded.
It seed that his na was Trudvar and last night he was on duty and there was so night shift. As he heard sothing heavy falling, he ran inside.
The mine owner was not hurt but it seed that so other miners were inside the tunnel that collapsed and now, they are trapped inside.
Also the tunnel was a new one and so of the miners were new workers.
"The people outside have supplies? Did the guards take any?"
They looked around but it seed the answer was no. The guards were dispatched hurriedly with no leadership, and the mine lost most of the supplies under the rubble.
So nas were said that made Elishka sob. From what I understood, she managed to get so holess girls an opportunity to work in the mine.
"The sun is setting so the people under the tunnel have at least one more day." I said, normally people can stay under rubble for two days.
"Bring so food in a sack, behind the inn, I’ll go after them."
Elishka heard and nodded.
I then left Morbagog with a ssage to Nurina or Laaneth.
~~~~~~~~
"Thank you for helping us. Please save those girls." Elishka was making a sad face behind the inn, there was no one else so she talked to .
"I’ll do what I can." I took the sack and tied it to my back, "I also want to speak with you about sothing if you don’t mind."
Elishka stiffened from what I said.
Actually, I have no ill intention or anything.
"Relax, nothing if the sort. I just want so information." I said, "I’ll go bring those girls."
As I said that, I evoked the spell and I wanted to use and here it is, my beautiful Fire Mare.
Elishka sure took the shock head on. Hehe, witness how aweso the horses can be.
Now, let’s put the saddle and the reins which were enchanted to resist fire.
Can’t wait!
As I jump on it for the first ti I get the feeling of how cool it is to be on such a beautiful creature.
Now now, let’s move ahead, slowly at first.
Amazing, even though it has no temperant of a horse, it has the sa normal movent.
Finally on the road. Let’s see how fast it can go now.
"Okay, buddy! It’s you and now, give everything."
The horse wouldn’t move from just these words, it still needed my direct command by magic.
I cast ’Flaskin’ just in case, it’s a different variation of stone skin but protects against fire with so physical armor.
Now! I am ready
~~~~~~~~
"Now from zero to sixty, let’s..... Uaaaaaaah!"
"WHOOOOO!! WHOOOOOOOOOO!!"
That’s amazing!
Let’s just admit it! It was awkward in the beginning.
I didn’t imagine that the Fire Mare may possess this speed.
It’s just ridiculous.
I have seen its performance one ’ESO’ but that ga didn’t give it any justice.
Maybe the reason is .
I didn’t design any offensive features to this shape and made it just for beauty and speed.
This thing is fast to the point that I am not sure if that is still called galloping.
This is madness on four.
I’ll just ask Jull to write a poem about it later.
I was supplying it with Magicka from ti to ti so it doesn’t get dispelled.
The effect ’Transfer’ is sothing I just learned opened the spell ’Magicka Transfer’ so I can keep the horse from running out of energy.
Atronachs, unlike the ga, had no ti limit, they had energy limit, if it got depleted then the Atronach will go back to Oblivion. With this spell, I can make it last as much as I can.
I was also thinking of casting ’Accelerate’ on it, but that was a scary idea.
[A/N: Accelerate is ’Haste’ and ’Longstride’. I’ll post Jon’s spell at the end of the chapter passed on the latest edit.]
I have already run past the guards and gave them a scare, these idiots were taking it easy.
After two hours of nonstop riding at a fast speed, I killed a bear that thankfully not a big one.
In reality, bears are sothing I ate only once and I would do anything to eat it again. But all I could do was to just leave it all behind with a broken heart.
The mine was not that far after that, I saw a man standing with a torch on the road so I guessed he is a miner from his appearance.
"Traveler! ...By the nine! What are you riding?"
"I am from the college, Is the mine close by?"
"Wha! Yes, it is, it is over there. Did they just send one man?"
"There is more! Show to the collapse!"
The man nodded and ran ahead as I followed him!
Upon entering the mine, the first chamber seed to serve as a camp but rubble took most of it down, to the west is an ice tunnel that leads to a second chamber where the collapse happened.
So big rocks were blocking the way and two n are trying to remove them.
"Move aside please."
They looked at not knowing how to react but the man told them to move.
I evoked two spells then cast them, two bulky Frost Atronach appeared.
One was a Miner Atronach with two spikes as arms and was a Hands Atronach.
Now carefully, let’s start the rescue.
