Rhia sounds very smart as she figures out that something is wrong in the city - using her senses, reason, and critical thinking skills to make sense of her observations. Interesting that Despairs influence is stronger outside than inside. Perhaps the comfort of home, fires, etc. helps combat the general maisma of her influence.
Enjoyed the exchange of oaths and handshakes between Sigyn and Rhia - well written and very fitting of two powerful warriors like these two. There business chats are great and I now like Rhia much more as she is willing to here both sides of Faolin's stories. Of course Sigyn is not wrong in her thinking in the sense that A) she saw "Faolin" stab her and B) she is to close to be objective. Consquently I don't blame Signy for her conclusions. Her mage brother is the one to truly hate. Still I am glad Rhia is having an open mind.
If I were Rhia I would have told Sigyn to meet her outside of the City, perhaps at the farm down the road or at the Inn at Kynesgrove. When you gut is screaming that the very city is under some unhealthy influence you don't decide to spend the night in it. Course I have the knowledge of what is happening so I would not write it off as just a case of nerves.
Enjoyed the story very much
I think just about anyone getting to Windhelm would feel that there is something odd, more perceptive traveler would surely know that something if wrong. That was my view on why Despair influence wasn't as noticeable on the inside, the comfort of him and the warmth of a cozy hearthfire. Then again, should she wish she could affect the entire city in a much worst fashion..though that wouldn't be wise of her to do so.
Figured that their handshake couldn't be anything but firm and to some extend manly for those two warrior ladies. Mercenary not always an easy way of life. Really wanted Rhiannon to be more the kind that wants to know all sides of a story before passing any kind of judgement. True that Sigyn can hardly be impartial in this situation..as Faolin DID stab her when she went to get the Jagged crown..though not the reason for what she thinks... It's really not gonna be anything pretty when light is shed on all of Aenar's misdeed. Rhia might have an open mind..but there is some promise to see some major personality clash with Lubis..they aren't quite polar opposite but well they are far enough to cause some clashing.
Well, They will most likely see one an other before her departure ;-) So maybe she will share her feeling on what is wrong with the city..though if Sigyn acknowledges it or not is an other story.
Glad you enjoyed it dear
It is very interesting how Rhiannon has such heightened senses that she can sense Despair's aura, wile others, even Sigyn just doesn't feel it. I bet for Sigyn it was very pleasant encounter since Rhianon might remind her of good old days when all siblings were together. And Rhiannon is very perceptive one that she did not believe those accusations against Faolin a second, although Sigyn's words about him wounding her gave her pause... yet if she was hired to track him, Rhianon would still listen to his version of story, unlike Sigyn who was always fiery tempered. I like Rhiannon very much and I m so looking forward to her interactions with capricious and arrogant Lubis, who has certain drama queen feeling about her... Their road trip sure must be something!
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful work and I will look forward for continuation!
She have keen sense with her being a scout, but also unlike Sigyn or much of the people that live or been in Windhelm for a long time, she doesn't have her mind clouded or affected by Despair's aura. Faolin also seem clear of that influence. The encounter sure took some weight off Sigyn's shoulder..as Rhiannon presence allow her to solve some problem she's been having...namely the one with Lubis wanting to leave Windhelm. Rhiannon doesn't know of the possible proof that were brought to Sigyn's attention, but she doesn't believe those accusations..as to her it seem to far fetched from what she knows of Faolin. Though yes, it does gives her some pause to know that he did actually wound Sigyn. It's a good thing that at least Faolin would have someone on his side..or at least willing to listen to his side..however not quite sure if they will ever get to talk before Rhiannon leave with Lubis. The interaction between Rhiannon and Lubis sure will be very interesting..as they stand further away in personalities.
Hmm... Despair backing off? I expect some mischief from her if only for her own amusement...
I can't wait to see what happens next.
Love that you interject humor "Azura's tits
.....Or should I say, "Hircine's hairy balls that was a good chapter!!"
Wonderful work dear!
Backing off or more like making her presences less noticeable. But one thing is for certain, she's still around and is just waiting for the right time to jump into action..which should be to far from now.
Really wanted it to have that old friend kind of feel to their banter, hence why the slight touch of humor in there..and Rhiannon usual way of talking by using Daedric Prince parts to swear lol.
Interesting how Rhiannon senses Despair's presence over Windhelm and just be being around in the town the presence seemed to back off slightly. I wonder if she accompanies Lubis out of the city on her 'baby-sitting' task who Despair will follow? Sigyn or Lubis? And if she DOES follow Lubis, what will Rhiannon's presence mean? Very interesting indeed.
Great new character to add into the mix; I really love your Rhiannon.
Either Despair is backing off a bit..or making her presences...less noticeable (second option being the most likely). It's no major spoiler..rather no spoiler at all..to say that Despair have no interest in Lubis now, she already served her purpose in Despair plan..so if she's escorted out of the city by Rhiannon, it won't matter much to her. Rhiannon will have her part to play in Lubis character evolution and i'll leave it at that
Glad you really like her dear !
