The Dragoon In Skyrim

Chapter 22 - Sofie and Snow

They leave Windhelm and walk towards the stables were Behemoth almost broke out because he saw Vincent approaching and was happy that his partner was alright. Vincent pets Behemoth, who rubs his head against Vincent showing his care for Vincent.

"Did you miss me that much," says Vincent while petting.

"What is that?" asks Sofie curious about Behemoth and Mina explains to Sofie what a Chocobo is when Vincent takes an egg the same size Behemoth was in before.

"Mina this is your Chocobo. You should touch the shell of the egg and it shall come out," says Vincent as Mina touches the shell of the egg and it begins to break. A pink Chocobo wearing a black mage armor came out of it and it seemed like it also could fit three people on it like Behemoth. The Chocobo begins to rub its head against Mina and Vincent says, "Pet it and give it a female name. It is yours after all."

"Really?" asks Mina confused.

"I had to ask someone for a favor. They gave me the egg as well as a gift with some items that can't be found around Tamriel," says Vincent explaining how he got to the egg.

"Lily is a fine name don't you think so," says Mina petting Lily, who agreed to the name while rubbing her head against Mina.

"Now how about we leave for now," says Jack, who turns around to Sofie and asks, "Who do you want to carry you, me or Mina?"

She walks over to Vincent and he helps her up on Behemoth before he mounted him. Mina mount Lily and they begin their journey home. The days on the road were quiet with no trouble like they would always confront while traveling. When they slept outside Mina and Sofie slept in the same tent while Vincent slept with both Chocobos outside.

Arriving at Whiterun's stables Skulvar sees both arriving with two Chocobos and says, "So you encounter another one in the wildness. You really are a lucky man Vincent."

"The lucky ones are Mina and Behemoth. Lily belongs to Mina and Behemoth won't feel that lonely now and run away to search for another Chocobo with Lily around," says Vincent as he hands over the leashes to Skulvar.

"How long are you staying?" asks Skulvar needing to know if he needs to care intensely for the two so they are ready to travel tomorrow again or if they can rest well.

"A week maybe two before travel again," says Vincent and Skulvar now knowing leads both Chocobos inside the stables while Mina takes Sofie by the hand and Vincent takes Sofie's kitten and backpack in his hands and they walk towards the Gates of Whiterun.

"Do you live here?" asks Sofie curious.

"Yes, Vincent got the house as a gift from the Jarl of Whiterun. Your father is a good friend of the court mage Farengar and saved his life before," says Mina explaining to Sofie how Vincent got his house in Whiterun.

They pass the gates and the first face they meet is Lucia that was with Adrianne to repair her staff that was broken in two from all her training. When she sees Mina and Vincent she drops everything and runs towards them and says, "Mom Dad, you are back."

Once in front of both, she gives them a big hug and sees Sofie and asks, "Who is she?"

"She is your new sister," says Vincent explaining to Lucia that they adopted her and brought her back.

"So she is my new sister," says Lucia looking at Sofie, who was still in her dirty clothes. Sofie was a bit embarrassed until Lucia takes her hand and says, "Can she get one of my dresses until we go later buy some for her. We need to buy her some cute clothes and some for training like mine. But first, let's go I need to present you to the others."

Lucia then runs off with Sofie to present her new sister to her friends, not even caring how her sister looked like from the excitement of having a sibling. Vincent was laughing about it while Mina was worried that Sofie will be uncomfortable being in those clothes.

Vincent walks together with Mina towards Adrianne and picks the staff up and takes a close look at it and Adrianne says, "She was training hard since you left as you can see."

"She did good that shows her determination to learn the way of a dragon. Can I ask that you make one out of Iron for her. I will make one out of wood," says Vincent and Adrianne nods while pointing 5 fingers up and Vincent takes out 50 gold and Adrianne began to work on it as Vincent and Mina walk towards their house.

Once inside they see Lydia cooking, who says after seeing them, "Welcome back was the adventure successful?"

"You could say yes, but we will leave in two weeks again to retrieve the Horn and bring it to the Greybeards. I hope everything will be over after all this and we can rest for some time in this town and see the girl grown-up for a while," says Vincent hoping that after bringing the horn away he could rest for a while from all this traveling.

"That must wait for a while I think. You got a letter from the Jarl of Falkreath," says Lydia as she hands over the letter and Vincent reads it.

"He is inviting me to Falkreath for an important task," says Vincent curious what it could be. Then he looks at Lydia says, "Lydia how about you make some more food. We have two new family members. One is a girl we adopted the other her kitten."

"We should consider buying a bigger house. This one suffices for now but a bigger house will be needed," says Mina to Vincent, who was thinking about it.

"How about buying land around Whiterun. The land across the Battle-Born Farm can be purchased for a little sum. You just need to build the house as you want it," says Lydia informing both about this solution.

Vincent was already making sketches for the house as well as about his clothes as a Summoner/Scholar hybrid while Mina left the house to look for Sofie and Lucia to go buy Sofie some new clothes. After making the sketches he makes a wood staff for Sofie to train her the same way he did with Lucia.

"I'm out for a while to Dragonreach to find out how much the land cost you talked before Lydia," says Vincent as he leaves the house.

"Good Luck my lord," says Lydia.

Vincent walks towards Dragonreach and finds Sofie's kitten being surrounded by guards until the kitten runs towards Vincent and jumps onto him climbing to his shoulder.

"My lord is that your cat?" asks the guard.

"Yes, it belongs to my daughter. Why do you ask?" asks Vincent curiously because the guards were quite nervous.

"It's just that it looks like a Snow Sabertooth kitten. If it belongs to you Thane we don't need to be scared since you can defeat a dragon. A Sabertooth is a child play for someone like you," says the guard.

'So this little one will grow into a Sabertooth. We really need a bigger house for when it grows,' thinks Vincent while crawling the kitten as he continues on his walk with the kitten on his shoulder. He enters Dragonreach and meets Farengar that was eating on the table.

"It's been long Vincent. How are you?" asks Farengar.

"Fine came from Windhelm with another daughter," says Vincent as he pets the kitten.

"Quite interesting seeing a Sabertooth kitten this easy to handle," says Farengar seeing how Vincent is petting the kitten.

"It's my daughter's pet. You might have to ask her how she made it. But I'm here to talk to Balgruuf to buy some land to build a house on it. My family is growing and it needs space to keep growing. Just think about full-grown Sabertooth in Breezehome. We wouldn't have space to walk around," says Vincent explaining to Farengar that he wanted to buy land near the Battle-Born Farm.

"Then you should talk to Balgruuf or Proventus with the help of the guards you could build the house in a month maybe two," says Farengar.

"Hope I have that much time when I return from High Hrothgar. I will leave again in half a month to finish the task the Greybeards gave me," says Vincent.

"You are a busy man now it seems," says Farengar.

"Thanks to you," says Vincent as he leaves Farengar to meet with Balgruuf.

Vincent explains to Balgruuf that he would want to buy some land and Balgruuf makes Vincent a lucrative price that was more than fair for the land across of the Battle-Born Farm. Vincent buys it and Proventus gives Vincent the doc.u.ment confirming that he bought the land around there.

"If you need some help ask the guards to help you to build your house with you," says Irileth to Vincent while accompanying him out.

"I will begin once I return from High Hrothgar again," says Vincent as he leaves Dragonreach. He arrives at the marketplace and sees Sofie and Lucia playing with the other children. Sofie was already in new clothes that Mina bought for her. As he pets both girl's heads. Lucia was really happy while Sofie still had to accept Vincent and Mina completely as her parents.

Vincent then left Whiterun to see the land he bought and thinks, 'Well it is big. It's enough to make a big house on it as well as a stable for the chocobos and Sofie's sabertooth.' He was already planning everything before returning to Whiterun. Once at home he sees everyone eating dinner.

"Sofie, I have a question for you," says Vincent and Sofie looked at Vincent as he continues, "Did you know that your kitten is a sabertooth?"

"Yes, I found it alone when I was picking flowers to sell. It was all alone like I so I took it in," says Sofie.

"Good since the guards wanted to kill it if I didn't intervene. Just make sure not to let it roam alone in the streets alright," says Vincent putting the kitten down and asks, "What's it name by the way?"

"It's Snow because of its white fur," says Sofie as Snow curbs up on Sofie's t.h.i.g.hs.

"Are we going to sleep all together as you promised?" asks Lucia and Vincent was now sweating a little hoping that the bed will survive.

They finish eating and Lucia shows Sofie their room and then they walk up when Vincent was already in bed while Mina was waiting for both. They jump onto the bed and Mina lies beside Sofie while Vincent was beside Lucia.

"From tomorrow on you will sleep in your room, Lucia. Now that you have a sister with you. You won't feel alone sleeping in your room," says Vincent.

"But it's more fun sleeping here," says Lucia.

"But your Mom and I want to have some private time too. But let's sleep for today," says Vincent as they all four sleep in that bed.
