Morning came and two redheads were sleeping atop each other in the middle of the forest. Jon woke up first pushing Aela to the side, he stretched his body and looked around himself. The scene turned him speechless.

  Aela also woke up with a messy hair and a dizzy head, he body was aching but she managed to stand and looked around too. Realizing what happened around the place, her jaw dropped.

  The forest…… it was obliterated.

  Not sure how or when but many trees were broken and the ground was turned upside down as if a storm struck or beasts fought in this place last night.

  Finding themselves in the center of the destruction, Jon and Aela wanted to believe that this had nothing to do with them but all evidence pointed at them.

  "If you two are worried about the scene, I would say that you should worry about the sounds the people heard last night."

  "And the beasts that ran out of the forest."

  "Yeah, that too."

  Alina and Jullanar appeared from behind some fallen tree.

  Aela covered her chest with her arms right when Alina and Jullanar appeared and Jon rested his back casually.

  "I am Jullanar from two days ago, this is Alina."

  "……" Aela was still not comfortable with others seeing her in a humiliating position.

  "So, care to explain?" Alina asked.

  Jon smiled wryly and pointed at Aela.

  "She likes it rough…… redhead, you know!"

  His reply was shameless and Aela glared at him.

  "Well…… we have our own redhead so we are used to his destruction. But two redheads…… wait! How did she survive a rough night with you?" Jull asked.

  "She is a werewolf."

  "Hey." Aela was upset at Jon saying that she is a werewolf out loud.

  "Aha! A werebeast like Nefertiti. I guess that makes her the one you go all ’S’ on. We survived." Jull and Alina fist bumped.

  The two had a normal attitude towards werewolf as they have experienced much already, Aela looked at them curiously.

  "Who are they?"

  "My fiancées."

  "And you seem pretty much comfortable cheating on them with me…… wait! Two of them."

  Aela noticed the absurdity and questioned what she heard.

  "You should know the answer already." Jull pointed at Little Jon.

  Aela just looked away.

  "So, why did you come?" Jon asked.

  "It is because two redheads wrecked the forest all night and made a mess out of the ecosystem. The wolves, bears and all most any living animal started to flee from the forest last night. They would have attacked the farms outside the forest if not for Nefertiti handling things."

  To Alina’s brief report, Jon and Aela became pale.

  "We also went to aid a village called Riverwood. Animals were making a ruckus there too."

  "Impossible!"

  "Riverwood is too far."

  Jon and Aela refuted.

  "Alina, have we forgot to mention that the earth was shaking."

  "Yes, we forgot."

  ""……""

  "No, we’re kidding about that part."

  ""……""

  Jon never thought that having sex in the wilds would cause so much ruckus. Aela too was terrified with what happened.

  "…… Okay, next time we are going to an isolated area."

  "Next time?" Aela seemed baffled.

  "Any objections?" Jon held Aela from her nape and pulled her closer to him.

  "……" She only glared back at him with her eyes gleaming sharply as if she is going to eat his liver.

  "Thought so." Jon released her and stood up. As he stood, clothes appeared on his body right away.

  Aela was still displeased for some reason. She didn’t hate the affair she had with Jon and was rather very satisfied. Her only displeasure was because of how weak she was compared to a magic caster like Jon. Even though his body was filled with scratches caused by her nails, it was healed when he slept and his body was perfectly clean. She also couldn’t continue the rough sex last night and had to give in to him, to her, she was utterly defeated.

  As other Nords, she is skeptical against Magic but the one who defeated her was not only a magic caster but also a warrior that a few members of the circle can fight on his level. Also, his Aura was not something anyone can withstand. And he seemed to have gone easy on her to not hurt her at all.

  She kept her eye on Jon for a while. Jullanar had to go and offer her a hand to stand up.

  ***

  "How is that possible?" Aela asked me on the way back to Whiterun.

  "What is it?"

  "You…… you are physically stronger than a werewolf. How can you do that?"

  "Is that why you were not accepting that I can beat each time."

  "……"

  "Don’t think too much about it. Alina and I can beat you up the same way too…… It is not that you are weak or anything. We are just absurd." Jull said with an eerie smile. She seemed to be asking for a round with Aela who was rather mentally exhausted to care anyway.

  My stay in Whiterun was being stretched by me. There is no real work in Whiterun now…… nothing that my employees can’t handle anyway. Also, summer in Whiterun was the best and I was really into the mood to spend some time lazing around this town.

  Still, Jon got to make a living.

  My schedule today was not that full so I went ahead and visited Jorrvaskr, the home of the Companions including Aela. My visit was brief and I met Wulfur there too. He was having a talk with Farkas and I joined in. It seemed that he participated in taking care of the beasts the fled the forest after Aela and I laid waste to the place. I came up with some excuse for not joining the fun and found the person I came here for right away. Harbinger Kodlak Whitemane.

  He is an old dignified man and someone all Skyrim respects. One of the reasons I came for his advice.

  He received me with a wide smile and friendly attitude too. I started talking to him about the current disputes in Skyrim and how the Companions operate then I went to the main point.

  "We in Winterhold are building a new settlement. As most of the hold is frozen wastelands and we were looking to expand our area of activity, a certain location caught our attention……" I paused to look at the man then whispered the location to him.

  As soon as I said the word, Kodlak Whitemane and the rest of the senior Companions around him froze and looked at me.

  "No one has ever attempted to do that…… no one even thought about it." Harbinger Kodlak said. "But why come to us?"

  "Not everyone will accept the idea right away. A tragic event that no one ever attempted to fix. There is too many dead around Winterhold and this place is a natural stronghold."

  "So you know…… still doesn’t explain why come to us."

  "The thing I am working on is not the same as the past and not even on the location itself, I am adding the word ’Neo’ before its name too."

  "I see. Why the word ’Neo’?"

  "It is a combination of ’New’ and ’Revived’. The Dark Elves also used it when the rebuilt the city of Vivec, it is now Neo Vivec."

  "I see. And you want us to advertise for it."

  "I know it is not what the Companions do but it won’t be much different. You will be doing what you people do best which is helping the people of Skyrim and this time find a good home and also opportunities. I am not saying walk around and distribute flyers, you can just visit the place and share your opinion about it. The Companions were formed by Ysgramor to do a certain task and that’s kinda how it was supposed to happen. Now, my actions will make a ruckus, some people with bad intentions will try to stop me and I need some popularity…… that’s all."

  "…… You do raise many good points and you know what you are after…… However, I am not sure how to reply to you about this. I am not the leader of the Companions…… no one is, so I will leave the choice to the ones who want to see the project you’re on. But there will be dissections first with the elders, I hope you give us time to reply."

  "Very well, thank you for your time."

  The meeting went good.

  The current big project I am working on is going swiftly. And it is a good excuse to drag Aela with me to Winterhold, win-win.
