    Whew! That was a long one, sorry.
    As you can see, I've got even less time to spend, so I'm a very rare guest here. Know that I miss you all!

    It seems that unlike fire-breathing dragon and foe, Uthgerd was not so easy to deal with, she had quite the calm and patience in the face of the reluctant dragonborn hiding within Saga and quite the loyalty to Saga as a friend, worrying that the Saga she knows might slip away and become a foe lead by the whisper in her mind, that she is being drawn down that dark path. I do hope she finally faces her role as the dragonborn, that she lets her true friends help with the loneliness she feels and the burden on her shoulders rather than a dark hum in her head, that she does not come back as Uthgerd's foe. Another beautifully written chapter, you do have a wonderful way with writing evocative descriptions, Kayol

      Thank you for your kind words!
      Well, I can't spoil the story, but I really hope she will turn to the light, too. Actually, I have two branches of the story prepared in my mind, one happy and one... not so happy. We shall see which one will be written down.
      Thanks again!

    This was my favorite line from the whole story, "The linen sheets she was lying on definitely smelled like the ones in her rented room in Candlehearh Hall: the unforgettable aroma of sweat, grease, and a faint memory of soap."

    It really shows how well you write. That simple description does so much to convey the sense of where she is. A faint memory of soap ... in the dark ages, in some place where people are dirty as a way of life. Travelers on the road in the cold with no modern conveniences. Dirty and sweaty - washing is hard work. Only a faint memory of soap remains from the last time it was washed.

    Oh ... and I have never liked Uthgerd until now. Now I love and adore her. You really wrote her well.

      I'm so glad you like Uthgerd! I'm quite fond of her myself so I really hoped my interpretation of the character worked well. Thank you!
      And thank you all the kind words, my friend. It means a lot.

    Just great to see you and Saga around these parts every now and then Really enjoyed this part; quite unexpected that Uthgerd would let her go; though it does make sense - after all Uthgerd is right - the choice is one Saga has to make on her own; and in a way that gives the sounds in her head some form of validation - she is alone in that regard.

    Even if I think she can make a decision to be both; who is to say the Dragonborn has to be all nice and shiny .. who is to say that the hero of the world can't be one that kills for Sithis and Coin; that keeps the darker family at heart while trying to struggle through fate's jokes.. So I'm quite interested in seeing how this will; in time; move along! Well done!

      Hey, long time no see!
      Yeah, I think Uthgerd had to make a very difficult choice there: in all her other appearances in the story she was always the one pushing Saga forward, trying to make her embrace the same principals she herself believed in. Here, I think, she was trying to do what a friend was, according to her, supposed to do: let her friend make a choice and hope it would be a right one.
      You're absolutely right about the Dragonborn not necessarily being virtuous and gallant
      Thank you for your comment!

    Finally, I found enough time, to read your story.....and it was more than worthy
    I enjoyed the reading very much. I like your style....how you described the dream, the awakening, the meeting with Uthgerd and the kind of dialoge, they had to each other...so soft and so sensitive written...
    Saga is such a vulnerable Dragonborn....I'm really glad, she found a way, to be strong inside.

    I also like the wonderful pictures, you made....fantastic facial expressions, dark and moody.

    Fantastic work
