-Etaret-

"Urggrrraaaaaahhh!",Etaret struggled,pushing the giant boulder up the hill.He only had help from two other people,the rock wasn big enough to fit anymore people pushing on the same side.But it definitely need more people pushing it.

He had arrived back at Whiterun from white river watch almost two weeks ago,as soon as he had the jarls housecarl had grabbed him and Brychan and escorted them to Dragonsreach.A courier had arrived,the forsworn had joined the falmer.Since then every one in the city had begun to help build defenses.Even children had been asked to help,running messages,bringing food and water,small things like hammering.

Etaret and the rest of the companions had been called on to help.They were being paid,which Etaret thought was ridiculous.He would have helped for free,this was a crises after all and even the companions would be killed if they couldn't defend the city,but the circle had demanded pay.So they were paid.But the jarl had made them work much harder than everyone else.They also weren't given the free food that the jarl had demanded the farmers give the other workers.

At least all this work is paying off.He thought,and he was right.Already they had put spikes on top of the walls and roofs so the falmer couldn't climb them.They had put mounted crossbows on the walls,fortified the entrance gate,fixed the drawbridge so it raised and lowered fastered,dug trenches,and put barricades on the main road as well as hid traps all around Whiterun.

The people who arrived from Winterhold had also been a big help,although Etaret and Roran had to ride out to escort them around the traps.The mages were working with the court mage nearly non-stop,setting runes here and there,healing the sick,setting up a ward cast eternally by grand soul gems to fortify the main gate.

It wasn't just Whiterun,the people of whiterun had also fortified Riverwood,although they didn't leave any healthy villagers in it,and all the roads leading to it.Although not nearly as much as Whiterun.Of course their biggest defense was probably the mammoths and the giant.

The companions along with the college's mages and Rivnar,who appeared to be in some sort of leadership position,had rode out and together,using illusion spells and chains and hooks,they captured one of the giants at Bleakwind Basin as well as it's mammoths.Etaret saw the usefulness of the mammoths,they were calmed pretty easily and could be used for labor,but he didn't see the need for the giant.It couldn't even fit in the city.Oh well,i'm not in charge.
