''Why am I here? Of all places...''

When Eilonwyn felt the warmth of the sun on her face she opened her eyes. Her heart sunk as she gazed upon her surroundings. They were dull, tightly packed and grey.

Windhelm...

She was standing outside her old home. Happy memories resided there once, but Eilonwyn only remembers the bad ones.

Guess he wants me to relive this so I can grow stronger...

Thinking Nish was controlling this portion of her dream Eilonwyn nervously opened the door and peered inside.

"Hello Sweetie." A female Dunmer smiled.

''Mother!? ''

"Back from hunting so soon?" A booming male voice laughed with glee.

Father...

"Erm...yes. It wasn't very successful however..." Eilonwyn responded.

"Ah not to worry dearest child.  There are plenty more deer in the forest." Her father encouraged.

"Y-yeah..." Eilonwyn walked in and sat down next to her Dad. He was tall, he almost stood equal to an Altmer. He smiled as he ruffled her hair.

"It's okay kiddo.  Don't beat yourself up. Your mother has made her famous Venison stew! Eat up and try again in the morning."

Eilonwyn found herself laughing as she took the stew.

I could just stay here...

"So, Eilo, have you met a lucky guy yet?" Her mother asked.

"C'mon Ma..." Eilonwyn shrugged. "I might have."

"Oh? When do we meet him? What is he like? What house does he belong to?"

"H-he-he isn't a Dunmer.." She whispered.

Her parents looked at Eilon in stunned silence.

"Well...as long as he makes my daughter happy, I can't complain!" Her father accepted.

"Of course dear. Your father is right. Will we meet him soon?"

"Yeah you will Mother. Tomorrow sound good?"

"It does! Now its getting late! Off to sleep with you!" she laughed, shoving Eilonwyn playfully into her room.

"Goodnight my dearest daughter."

Sleep...Why do I feel like I had something important to do involving sleep?

It was the middle of the night now and Eilonwyn lay awake in her bed.

''I can't seem to sleep...I'll go see if Mum or Dad are still awake. ''

As she walked out of her room the world transformed around her. She now found herself staring at the graveyard in Windhelm. Her mother was there, tending to the grave of a family friend, when a figure crept up behind her.

"No wait!" Eilonwyn shouted. It was a futile attempt however as she watched her mother get her throat slit with her own two eyes.

"Mother! You bastard!" she yelled at the figure. "I'll kill you!"

The world changed again as the figure ran away. Eilonwyn was back in her home. Looking at her fathers dead body. His own arrow in his neck.

She looked down at the letter that had appeared in her hand.

''My dearest daughter. ''

''I am sorry, but I cannot continue to live without your Mother. I love her more than anything else in Nirn. I can no longer stand the feeling of being empty inside. You will understand one day. When you find someone special to you, you protect them okay? Never let them die. I'd hate to think of you going through the same pain I did.''

''We both are proud of you my little Eilo. Remember. Stay strong and that strength will rub off on others. ''

''Time for me to say hello to your Mother now. ''

''Goodbye Eilo. ''

Make us proud.

The tears ran down Eilonwyns face as the world shifted once more. This time she was in the plains outside Whiterun.

This is where I first met...

Eilonwyn gasped in realisation. ''Nish! ''

She whirled around quickly, looking for any sign of him. All she saw was a shadowy figure approaching her on the horizon.

Eilonwyn had to squint to see it correctly but the figure was flying. Had long horns and wielded two daedric swords.

The abomination retracted its wings as it landed in front of her.

"How do you like this little world I made for you?" Drabalsan taunted.

"I hate it. I know its just a dream. If Nish isn't controlling it, that means you corrupted it." She stated pulling out her sword. She was ready for a fight.

"Hm. Straight to the point?" The abomination queried. "Not sure if I like that."

"You won't have time to like it when I'm done with you!" She yelled swinging Ifrit right at Drabalsan.

The abomination dodged back and pulled out his own swords.

"Weak mortal.  I will destroy you before you get the chance to speak to him again!" The abomination called as he began to sprint at her.

Eilonwyn wasn't scared. She let off a battle cry and charged right at him. Swinging her sword just as he swung his own pair. A loud screech gave off and sparks flew as the three blades clashed again and again, long into the night. Neither Eilonwyn nor Drabalsan showed signs of tiring.

They clashed once more, but this time Eilonwyn held her ground. The two fighters threw their weight onto their swords hoping one would give way before the other. The abomination infront of her was stronger than Eilonwyn, she could sense that.

Quickly, Eilonwyn stepped to the side and slashed at the abomination as he was caught off balance.

He screamed in pain as the wound Eilonwyn gave him burned.

"Fire enchantment. Perfect for demons like yourself!" Eilonwyn taunted.

Suddenly, the fighters felt the ground shake. Another battle could be heard in the distance. The sun was rising over the plains...

"Thank you stranger! It would have had me for sure!"

''Wait thats...of course! ''

"Just focus on killing it! Before arguing about loot! Okay mate?" A Breton called.

''The first time I met you. ''

"Alright fine! But I don't want to mate with you!"

Eilonwyn cringed. ''Did I really say that? ''

"Don't worry. You definitetly aren't my type." Eilonwyn could see Nish smirk from here.

Oh how times change!

Eilonwyn turned once again to face Drabalsan. "That's right. I have better things to do than waste my time with you."

She pointed her sword out at the abomination. "Taste the hellfire of my blade asshole! I have to protect Nish!"

Eilonwyn charged at Drabalsan with all her strength and rammed the sword into his chest.

"This is only a copy of me!" He hissed.

"So get out of my face!" She finished with a slash, causing the abomination to vanish.

Eilonwyn watched as she fought the giant with the man she loved. If only I knew what I was getting myself into...she thought with a smile as this world faded away.

Eilonwyn now found herself in an as of right now, unrecognisable place.

''This must be the real dreams of Nish. We are so close now!''
