Chapter 2: The Death of a Hero
The Dragonborn was sitting in his bed at Lakeview Manor, a house he had built himself many years ago. When suddenly someone walked in. "Argon?" asked the person softly, "Are you awake?" "Yes, come in." said Argon, the Dragonborn The source of the voice walked in, it was Serana a vampire Argon had met in his adventures. They had many adventures together like trying to stop her father from blacking out the sun and allowing the vampires to roam freely whenever they wanted. If that happened then everyone would have been killed or made a vampire. They had succeeded in this quest and along the way they fell in love, they never actually got married but they lived together at Lakeview Manor ever since it had been built. Serana had cured herself of vampirism a few years ago so she would now age on. But the Dragonborn had aged past the way she looked and while she looked young even though she was very old, the Dragonborn seemingly outaged her. She had ditched wearing her armor everywhere when Argon had decided it was time to retire and stop the adventures because he was growing to old. So she now wore purple fine clothes that she had sent their steward Marlion, who was the son of their previous steward Reyya who and been killed in a bandit raid on the house, to go and buy for her from Radiant Raimnent in Solitude. She had finally decided to let her hair grow out, so it now fell past her shoulders and stopped half-way down her back. He long brown hair fell back in such a way it looked as if it were a waterfall of chocolate.
"A few people are here to see you." Serana said as she walked in the room followed by four other people.
In walked Sissel and her adopted sister Dorthe. Both had been adopted by Argon and they lived with him and Serana as a happy family along with their bard, carriage driver, and steward. Sissel had orginally already had a family when Argon met her at Rorikstead, but she was always beat by her father Lemkil and her sister Britte. It seemed that Lemkil would beat both his daughters, but his beatings were worse for Sissel. This angered Argon, and somehow for some reason one day Lemkil went crazy and went on a frenzy and he attacked the people of Rorikstead before slain by a whiterun guard himself. Nobody really knows why he decided to go on a killing frenzy but we can be sure it was not because of Argon. After Lemkil's death Sissel and Britte were sent to the Honorhall Orphanage in Riften. The old mean caretaker of that place had been killed about two years before they had been sent there. So, Argon taking pity on Sissel, especially since the beatings from Britte just got worse at the Orphanage, decided to adopt her and separate her from her sister. After she was old enough to move out she decided she would move to Whiterun, Argon gave her Breezehome for her to live there so she had some place to stay.
Dothe's parents Alvor and Sigrid, had both died in dragon attacks on the little village of Riverwood. They had both been close friends with Argon so as soon as they had died, Argon decided that he would adopt her. She happily accepted because she had warmed up to him soon after he had come to Riverwood after the dragon attack on Helgen. He had lived there for awhile and he played tag and hide-and-seek with Dorhe and her friend Frodnar almost every day he had live there. Dorthe had lived with them a long time like Sissel. When she was able to move out she went back to Riverwood to be the blacksmith since she owned the forge and her father was the old blacksmith.
After Sissel and Dorthe came their boyfriends Lars Battle-Born, who had had an amazing increase in strength and agility making him as strong as his father, and Frodnar who had become much more mature and did not play pranks on people anymore. The two boys had been introduced to each other when Dorthe decided to stay with Sissel in Whiterun for a vacation. Since then the two boys had been on a few adventures togteher seeking riches and fame. They had helped make the two girls very rich but the girls did not want to show it off and brag about it.
Dorthe was dating Frodnar and the two were supposed to be married next month. They had become friends again when Dorthe moved back to Riverwood, which Frodnat had inherited from his parents. Eventually the two fell in love and had been togther ever since. Sissel and Lars were an easy pair since they had both had no friends for a couple of years in their lives and they were both not all that strong at the time. The two were also supposed to be married right after Dorthe and Frodnar.
Both girls had grown up to be beautiful young women with Dorthe looking a little bit like Serana and Sissel kinda like Olffina Gray-mane. Both had long hair that stopped halfway down their backs like Serana's.
"Oh, hello girls. How are you?" asked Argon
"Hello Pa. Everything if fine, how are you feeling?" asked Dorthe
"Old. Time has finally come to take me away." said Argon
"No, Pa. Don't say that. You are not allowed to." said Sissel
"Hey, if you die. I will prank you." Frodnar joked
"Then you had better get your pranks ready."
"Come on Argon, you can't die you can do anything. I always knew that." said Lars
"I'm sorry. I know you would like it if I stayed, but I can't I have to move on. It is time." said Argon
"But, Pa, what will we do without you?" asked Sissel, "You took me in after my father died you gave me such a good life. And I was never able to repay you."
"You don't need me, you have Lars to take care of you. I know he would never let anything happen to you. Right Lars?" asked Argon
"Yes, sir. I will protect her until death." said Lars
"Good. And you have paid me back, you let me watch you grow up to be strong, amazing young women." said Argon trying to reassure everyone it would be okay.
"I'm glad I was able to meet you. And I promise I will protect Dorthe not only for Alvor and Sigrid anymore. But also for you." said Frodnar
"I'm glad I was able to meet you also, and I am glad you finally stopped being so annoying and mean. I know a lot of people that would like to have killed you." Argon joked... Or was he joking?
"Haha, always the comedian. Just make sure that when you die to tell all the heroes I said 'hey.'" said Frodnar
"And Serana. You were always an amazing person and I know you will do great without me. Watch over the manor for me please?" said Argon
"I promise I will protect it as best as I can." said Serana
"Good, then I guess it is time for me to go." said Argon
"Goodbye." said everyone in the room
"I hope to see you again someday." said Argon
"We will all miss you dearly." said Serana
"And I will miss you. Goodbye, until such a time as we might meet again." and with that Argon died.
