Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He grinned almost wickedly, "You think I'm hot?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
That s not what I said! She hissed, cheeks burning just as hot as her ears.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Ok, ok!" He said, "No need to get so defensive. By Talos, woman.."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime crosses her arms over her chest and glared at the snow, too embarrassed to look at him. Can you do anything else?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"I can also freeze things.." He said, "But that isn't very cool...I can also sprint really far using my thu'um as well.."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Like it makes you move faster? She blinked, looking over at him again.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Kinda? It's hard to explain but it's kinda like taking one super huge step and immediately getting from one end to the other." He said.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Isn t that dangerous? What if you ran into a wall? She asked.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Well, I guess I just have to make sure there's no wall, huh?" He grinned cheekily
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
I don t know, what if I said I wanted to see you run into something? She said and turned her nose up.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"That would be rather mean of you, Mego. After I made it stop snowing no less." He replied.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime. She corrected, huffing softly. I want to go back, it s boring out here. She muttered, turning and heading back down the path to the city.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Wha hey!" He called and chased after her, "You're rather brutish for a girl."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
I am not brutish! She retorted. I ve done nothing to even remotely indicate such a thing!
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"You're rude and standoff ish.." He pointed out.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime nearly choked on her spit. That s just because you re abrasive and overly forward!
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Don't girls like boys who are like that?" He asked genuinely
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
No, why would they? She said blandly.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He blinked before shrugging, "Not sure.." He replied.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She rolled her eyes as they entered the city, Megohime making her way back toward the upper districts to her home.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"So I'll come get you for supper at sunset?" He asked when they stopped at her door.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime put her key in the door, cheeks dusted pink. If you still want to. She said with a small nod.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Ok! Great!" She could hear his excitement, "I'll see you soon! Ja!" He said and jogged off.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime couldn t help the smile, she couldn t help that her heart beat like crazy in her chest Why was she so happy?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Masamune headed back to the Palace of Kings where Kojurou was finalising everything. "She's letting me take her to dinner!""Who?" Kojurou asked. Masamune grinned."The cute girl from the other day Megohime. She's letting me take her out."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime was so nervous to meet up with the boy who said was going to make her his bride, she had actually gone quite early to their meeting place. She still wore the pendant he had gotten her, dressed up in a dark red dress and heavy overcoat for the snow.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Hey!" Masamune jogged up in one of his nicer coats, his messy hair pulled back into a rather short ponytail. He looked rather handsome, "So I pulled some strings and you're gonna have dinner with me in the Palace."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime blinked in shock, cheeks dusted pink, as she looked at him. I In the Palace of Kings? She echoed, a little shocked, not expecting to eat in the palace itself.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Yeah, that's the only Palace here." He grinned, "Come on, Ieyasu wants to meet you "
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime nodded, red faced as she moved to follow Masamune, more embarrassed than ever. She had to meet the Jarl of Windhelm now?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He walked with her to the Palace and let her in first before walking inside. The table was already set and everyone was coming in to eat. "Come on, we're near the front."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime s heart was pounding in her chest as she followed him up toward the front of the long table where Ieaysu and his housecarls sat. She was nervous, so nervous in fact that she shuffled closer to Masamune and actually held onto the sleeve of his coat.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He glanced at her and frowned, "Hey, you ok? What's up?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Her cheeks flushed and she pulled her hand away. Something was on your coat. She muttered, looking away.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Oh, what was it?" He asked, trying to look, "Did you get it?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
J Just some snow, you re fine now. She said, mentally scolding herself for getting worked up and holding onto him.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Cool, thanks." He grinned and grabbed a bottle, "Wine or ale?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Wine. She answered, but was still a bit unsure should she even be drinking?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"It's fine, just the one glass. And if you don't like it, I'll get you something else!" He said. Who was this boy? Surely not the one who had been trying this whole time to win her hand.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime nodded, still blushing even as she went to her seat, feeling her heart pound in her chest and her hands sweaty.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
When Ieyasu entered, everyone either bowed or curtsied out of respect. He merely grinned."Please, sit! Let us enjoy our time together here."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime was sat beside Masamune, but away from Ieyasu, watching everyone mill about as they gathered their food before returning to their seat.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"You're doing great. You don't have to talk to anyone if you don't want to." Masamune told her softly.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
I I m fine..! She whispered back, looking away from picking at her potatoes. I m just listening is all..!
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He smiled and gently took her hand, "I'm sorry if this is too much. I figured I would prepare you for what Riften would be like once we got married..." He told her softly, "I'll take you somewhere quieter next time. In fact, I'll let you pick."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Her entire face lit up when he took her hand, but she didn t pull away, only nodding. O Oh... Ok. Was all that managed to tumble out of her mouth.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Is that ok?" He asked, "I honestly expected venom from you "
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
I could just take you to the pig farmer and have him feed you along with his pigs. She muttered, still holding his hand and blushing.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He grinned and chuckled, giving her habd and squeeze, "That's more like it."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
The dinner went relatively smooth, Megohime and Masamune mostly keeping to themselves but still enjoying the company of the others.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Is this your future bride?" Ieyasu asked as he approached. They didn't even see him move. "I'm honored to meet you in person!"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime s gaze immediately shot to Masamune, face red again. You re telling everyone that ridiculous boast?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He grinned even wider, "Not a boast it's the truth. Yer gonna be my bride. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but one day."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Megohime sputtered again, turning her head away from Masamune. Jarl Ieyasu, don t listen to anything he s saying..!
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Ieyasu was smiling brightly, "And why is that? Has he said something wrong?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He s only being proud! Why would he ask my hand in marriage when he s only just met me? She protested.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"There's just something about you, I just..." Ieyasu glanced at Masamune as the Dragonborn looked upon Megohime with an admiration and love he hadn't really seen before.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
The two could almost see steam coming from her ears she was blushing so hard. She didn t have any words left, only looking down at her lap. I still think it s just a cruel joke. She muttered.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Ieyasu slunk away as Masamune tightened his grip on her hand, "I wouldn't joke about something like this..."Sasuke continued to try and help his mother remember how to speak and how to move. She had been dead for so long, he didn't expect her to immediately remember anything.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Moving around had proved a simple task, only needing time for the rigidity of the corpse to fade away, and in no time she was able to function as normal. She could walk and jog, and even grasp things, but her speech was coming along a bit slower. She could say his name Sildriel, and a few other simple words, but senten...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Just take your time, it's ok, there's no rush." He soothed as he sat with her, "I'm just so glad you're back.."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Sildriel... I I... She looked frustrated, not able to say what she wanted, the words just not coming out. Different.... It didn t seem like the word she wanted, shaking her head with a soft frown.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He furrowed his brows, "Don't strain yourself, take your time...everything will still be really jumbled."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She let out a soft breath, but nodded, still looking a little disappointed with herself. Yes.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He held her hand and smiled, "It'll be alright. It'll sort itself. You'll be back to normal in no time."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She gave his hand a squeeze, smiling back at him and giving a small nod. Happy.... to... be.. back...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
His heart skipped and he could cry right there. She was getting it. Slower than a snail but it was sparking. "I have some contracts to take care of but I'll be back in a bit. Let me know if you need anything, ok?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She nodded. Fine.... for.... now. She said, offering him a small smile. She didn t quite understand what he meant by contracts, but was happy to be alive again, even if it was in a different body.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He nodded and kissed her forehead before leaving the room."How's your corpse mother?" Arnbjorn asked snidely as Sasuke passed. The teen shot a glare at him as he kept walking."A far better conversationalist, to say the least." He remarked.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She rarely left the room, even with Sasuke with her, she was a bit skittish and afraid of the others, not like they minded not having her around though. It felt strange, being inside a corpse that wasn t her own she knew she had died from the moment she woke again, but it did take a while for all of her memories to ret...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
It was always about killing. Killing, killing, killing. What did Sasuke get himself into?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She was far too scared to open the door, even though Sasuke left it unlocked and had never told her she couldn t go out, she simply preferred not to go.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Sasuke always brought her fresh food and water and clean clothes when he returned, always happy to be near her. He seemed way different with her around than he did when he left. He always became so stoic and emotionless when he left her.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She would always seem so happy to receive the things he brought her, embracing him and smiling brightly. While he was away she practiced her speaking, and gradually improved.It had been storming for the last few days, but the Brotherhood inside the cave hardly noticed at all, life continuing as usual.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"You aren't too cold, are you?" Sasuke was drenched from the rain only because his cloak was not prepared for the heavy downpour. He traded out his wet armor for warmer clothes and had them hanging to dry by the fire as he kept bundled with his mother. "I can get you another blanket.."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She shook her head, keeping the blanket wrapped tightly around herself. No... I m fine, th ...ank you.. She was staring at the fire, a soft frown on her face. Sildriel...?
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He looked up with concern, "What's wrong? You ok? The others weren't mean to you, were they?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She shook her head, looking to him, a look of guilt crossing over her face before she looked back down at the fire. No... I m not... mom.. She said softly. Not.... your mom...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Sasuke sat silently for a minute before shooting up and pacing the floor."What do you mean you aren't my mother? Who the hell are you then?!" He yelled.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She flinched and cowered when he yelled, averting her eyes. A Ama...ya. She sputtered our. Amaya? The name was familiar oh right.Amaya had been a girl he knew from his time as a slave. She was a little Dunmer girl, with short white hair and large blue eyes, living in the home next to his.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Sasuke was furious. Sithis conned him out of being with his mother again. And for what? Some slave girl he hardly knew?"Get out." He ordered.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She looked hurt and confused, standing and reaching out to Sasuke. S Sildriel...? He never had been friends with the girl, slaves didn t have friends. In fact, he hadn t even spoken two words to the girl, he had only seen her around occasionally until one day she just stopped appearing, then he got away from his own li...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He moved away roughly, glaring with angry and heart broken red eyes, "Get out!" He repeated, raising his voice.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She slowly pulled her hand away, face twisting in sorrow, but she turned and headed for the door, pushing it open and disappearing outside the room.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Did you get into a fight with your baby boy, corpse mother?" Arnbjorn was on her as soon as she left the safety of Sasuke's room, "You smell of death and sadness. Pitiful."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She spun around when she heard the werewolf s voice, eyes wide as she took a small step back. N No.. She rasped out softly, clutching the blanket to her chest.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He inched closer, "You're barely even a snack." He snarled lowly before snapping his teeth at her.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Her eyes widened at the sight of his canines, and even though she was a corpse, he could smell her fear. Without another word, she abandoned the blanket and ran, going anywhere but there. She ran hard and fast, not caring where she ended up, eventually ending up outside the cave, where the rain was falling in sheets. S...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
After a long while of sitting out in the rain and bushes,she stopped feeling the rain pelt down on her. Upon examination, she saw it was Sasuke holding a cloak out likea cover over both of them."You'll get sick out here." He said.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She was shaking, completely drenched and still crying, not that he could tell though. When she saw it was him, she almost started crying harder. I m sorry..! Sorry! Didn t mean... to trick you..! She cried like a scared child, after all she had been only a few years younger than him, even if she was in a body older tha...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He exhaled, "It isn't your fault. Come on. Let's get you warmed up before you die again..."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She nodded and stood, staying close to him, but not trying to reach out or touch him again. She sniffled softly, wiping her eyes with her hands.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
He took her inside and set her by the fire before moving to make her a stew at the cooking pot."Babette, could you make her a resist disease potion?" He called. The Unchild peeked out before making a noise."I'll be a but a moment." She said and disappeared back behind the doorway.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She watched the fire again like before, hair and clothes dripping with rainwater. Sasuke should have known, he should have known something was off when he first resurrected her. His mother had light colored hair, so it wasn t unusual that her hair was beginning to change to a lighter color, but it wasn t white. The sam...
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Maybe he didn't want to notice,maybe he was just so happy to maybe have his mother back that he didn't really look. He was an idiot and Sithis abused his trust and gave him someone he didn't really want.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
Amaya wished she could have told him sooner, told him she wasn t his mother, but with her struggling to talk for so long, she just wasn t able to. I m sorry. She said softly after a long moment, keeping her gaze down.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"Not your fault." He replied bitterly, "I just wish Sithis wasn't a fan of cruel jokes."
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She blinked, looking at Sasuke for a moment before looking back at the fire. Sorry.. She didn t know who Sithis was, but he sounded mean.
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
"You're fine. Here." He filled a bowl with pheasant and tomato soup and handed it to her, "Let it cool a little first, ok?"
Distant Horizons (1×1 w/ Jikkah)
She took the bowl with a nod, holding it carefully as she blew on it to cool it, listening to the fire crackle. The entire situation confused her, why had she been brought back to life? Who was Sithis and where exactly was she?
