Tiberionus charged forwards without warning. Julies eyes snapped open as the juggernaut approached her. She smiled, dodging out the way at the last second, her blade on her shoulder since she’d thrown the sheath into the grass. She came to a stop after a few steps and watched as her foes momentum carried him straight into a tree.

Well…it should have.

Tiberionus chuckled, digging his heels into the dirt and stopping just before his face made contact with the bark. He spun round planting his enormous Battleaxe into the ground. “That the best you got JJ? I ain’t even tired!”

''Stop talking like him… ''

“I guess you must really want to stay with me huh? I knew it! We’ll be together! Fuck…I can’t wait!”

Julie was shaking, rage and anger building up in her soul. All at herself. She roared as she charged the male Dunmer, her sword dragging in the ground before she tore it upwards, flinging dirt in his face as the blade came to a sudden stop. Julie winced, breathing in heavily since her sword arm was now caught in Tibs strong palm. He smiled as he pulled her closer. “C’mon, think about it…” He cooed, leaving his axe in the ground as he stroked Julies face with the other hand. “I can give you a place to stay. We can raise your child together. You will be a Queen…”

Julie struggled, pounding Tiberionus’ chest, growing more annoyed as he shrugged it off. “I don’t wanna be trapped in a fucking cave with you! I don’t wanna r-raise my kid with a bunch of assholes!”

Tib laughed, roughly throwing her into the mud again. “But JJ! Where else do you have to go?” He picked up his axe and slowly stepped towards her until Julie could feel the blade on her neck. “Unless, you want to die? Do you? Do you want to die?”

Julie looked up to the sky, her eyes shimmering. She found it so easy to cry these days.

''I broke my own heart. Even worse…I broke his… ''

She slowly nodded, blinking as the tears fell. “I’m worthless. I’m a shit person and I’d be an even shitter mother. Why would I inflict myself on my kid?”

Tiberionus sighed, walking away and leaning his axe on a tree. Julie just lay there, having no will to fight anymore. Not now that she was alone. She rolled her head to the side, watching as Tib came and sat next to her. Julie felt herself be lifted. She floated like she was in a dream, unable to stop Tib from resting her head in his lap. He stroked her long red hair again.

Maybe this is a dream…Julie thought, noticing a large scar running down Tibs shimmering face as he hummed to himself, trying to calm her down. ''All this is a dream. I never left S-set. I’ll wake up any moment now and I’ll be right next to him, curled up in bed. He’d still love me…I’d f-feel good about myself… ''

Julie only cried harder the longer she thought. She placed her hand on her stomach, resting the other on Tibs thigh.

The male Dunmer cocked his head, smiling down at her. “It’s okay…” He soothed. “I’m not going to hurt you…”

''Not like Set would care anymore if you did. He’ll probably just laugh… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“C’mon JJ. What’s got you so upset?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie shook her head, obviously too pained to talk about it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“That’s fine. We have all the time in the world to sit here until you do.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I already said. I’m worthless. I have nothing to live for anymore. Not since I…” She paused, swallowing back the lump in her throat. “I abandoned the best thing that ever happened to me…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tiberionus sighed softly, wiping a tear away from her face as her gaze fell to the sky. “What happened?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julies eyes welled up again. It was funny in a way. She was so tough. Yet now that she was alone, it seemed like all she could do was cry. Despite being a mother in waiting, Julie felt emptier than ever. “My fiancée.” Julie whispered eventually, staring at her hand and realising that they never had a ring.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Guess we were never truly engaged… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Tiberionus glanced down at Julie, his eyes full of pity for her. He gently rocked her back and too as she began to speak in his head again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I abandoned my fiancée. He deserves better than me. All I do is hurt the people I’m closest to. And nobody was closer than us…”

<p class="MsoNormal">The male Dunmer sighed again, rubbing Julies arm as he sat her up to face him. “Surely leaving him will have hurt him more than whatever you’ve done before?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie shook her head, tearing up some grass as she crossed her legs. “He can move on now. It’s better I’ve left him. He can find s-someone far more amazing than me. He…he can l-love s-someone e-else…” Julie winced, clutching her belly as she rocked herself, tears pouring out her eyes now. Like the very thought of him being in love with another person was actually killing her… “A-and all I have to do is not be st-stupid and get in-injured or s-sick…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“What do you mean?” Tiberionus asked, clearly confused.

<p class="MsoNormal">“S-set and I…our souls are connected. I have a bit of his soul in me and he has a bit of mine in him. It w-was the on-only way to bring him back f-from the d-dead…” Julie gasped, her hand flying to her mouth as painful sobs continued to rack her body. “We a-are bound together. W-whenever I get h-hurt, so does he…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tiberionus nodded, scratching his chin as he thought. “So the two of you are quite literally, soul mates?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie nodded, wiping her eyes, and hiccupping. “He’s a tough guy though. I kn-know he’ll be fine with-without me ruining his life. I just have to…s-see him one last ti-time. Let h-him know he’s g-gonna be a d-dad…”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well…the way I see it.” Tib muttered, folding his arms. “Is you hurt him. Pretty badly.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie nodded in understanding, hanging her head.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are you sure he even wants to see you again after what you did?”

<p class="MsoNormal">“P-prob’ly n-not…” Julie mumbled. “But h-he has to kn-know!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Tib sighed, pulling himself to his feet and offering Julie his hand. “Come with us, then. We’re travelling the world and spreading the word that Morrowinds true ruler has come at last. We can search for him, together.” Tiberionus smiled warmly, his eyes shining in determination.

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie looked up, her gaze swimming before her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You aren’t useless, Julie…”

<p class="MsoNormal">''Set…I really am… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“I mean look at you. After all you’ve been through, and I am just guessing here by the amount of scars you have, you’re clearly capable. A fine woman to rule by my side. You’re tough Julie. Tough as nails…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julies head snapped up to look at Tiberionus. She took his hand and was pulled to her feet.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Even if I never see him again. At least…At least I’ll have my child to remind me of him. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Set…I love you… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie scoffed, smiling at Tib with watery eyes. “Got the scars to prove it…”
