Shadow had packed what little belonging she had owned and prepared to head from the Riften when a courier had darted up to her, he wore a legion outfit and shadow examined the slender, short man and she frowned inwardly remembering a time when the Imperial Legion worn heavy full plate with silver weapons, killing deadric warriors attacking the world. Now seeing them in leather padding over decently thick clothing, the skirts had to send chills down the legionaries spins in Skyrim. Shadow snapped from her train of thought and looked at the boy before sighing slightly.<strong>"Do you have something for me. . ?"</strong>Her voice was low and slightly filled with annoyance as she watched the courier rummage through a small letter bag before handing her a sealed envelope, the Legion seal on it. She stared at the seal a moment before thanking the courier and handing him a few silver pieces for his trouble and pulled the letter open heading out of the gates of Riften. Shadow read the letter as she walked down the road and smiled inwardly,<em>Ironic this'd come to me right as I decide to start traveling the lands once more. I suppose I'll go to Helgen then. . . </em>She thought to herself looking at the night sky. A smirk crossed her face under the mask and hood of her armor.<br/><br/>Shadow jogged down the road, her body used to extreme physical demands after long, long years of training and fighting. If she truly had a mind too she could jog all the way to Helgen with only few breaks, however Shadow wasn't in the biggest hurry to be honest. As she jogged down the roads she ended up aiding some legion soldiers being assaulted by bandits. After slicing a few of the bandits open the rest rand into the thick forest, tails between their legs. After discovering that the soldiers themselves were headed to Helgen she decided to travel with the small band of soldiers. Their journey hadn't been as eventful as the groups meeting besides the occasional wolf or two, and on a really bad day a few trolls. As Helgen's walls cam into view from the distance Shadow bade the group farewell splitting away from them, heading to the large snow covered mountain, Helgen bordered.<br/><br/>Shadow began her descent up the icy rocks and snowy ledges, she never slipped once as she reached the place she had picked out she sat on the ledge over looking the small fortress. Shadow uttered a silent prayer to Nocturnal and jumped from the ledge onto the roof of the closest building. Once upon the roof she hopped down to the back of the house and slipped to the main street before calmly entering the tavern, her face still shrouded by the mask and cowl of her nightingale armor. As she entered she witnessed the blonde girl insulting Blind-Eye, the reaction of the soldiers was normal in her eyes however Blind-Eye seemed saddened after his initial comment. Shadow looked at the ground sadly a moment remembering all the blade she had known in her past and she sighed before looking at her large scaled friend.<br/><br/>She pulled the the hood back behind her head and smoothed her messy jet black hair a bit before walking over to Blind-Eye and pulled a stool up next to him, She lightly seated herself sighing mildly and pulling her hood back up but pushing her mask down.<strong>"Well, you're looking good for your age, Corvinus. Barkeep, I'll take a glass of chilled milk. . ."</strong>She smiled at Blind-Eye, his features hadn't changed in all the year they'd been apart. He seemed ageless, just like her, though not a single person knew of her curse. Not even the Dovahkiin, which had been a dear friend to her, the thought of his death saddened her and she sighed sadly before taking a sip from the chilled milk the Barkeep set down in front of her. Shadow handed the Barkeep a few coins for the milk.
