Ella arrived at the frozen city of Bruma, instantly getting hit with the cold mountain air after she took a break from it, when she entered the large wooden gates. She stopped and looked around in breathless awe as she saw the city's many residents scurry about the streets, buying and selling their wares.

The Nord wasn't used to the busy nature of cities, she had always lived in one village, making her accustomed to seeing the same faces day in and day out. She missed it sometimes, often getting a quick glimpse of Torr, the blacksmith, whenever she'd see another blacksmith or Gladdice, the baker, whenever she looked to one of the stalls. If it wasn't obvious enough, Ella was homesick, which she had plenty of reason to be. She had been torn away from the loving embrace of her husband, the ghost of her son's body could be felt, whenever she folded her arms.

Ella missed her neighbours, the aforementioned shop keepers, the priest, who ran a small chapel, the old gossips and troublesome little scamps, who would often be seen running for their lives as old man Guthor would run out, with his walking stick. This time of year wasn't very exciting, thankfully. In Hearthfire, she'd be missing a treat as Farmer Halem would bring in his harvest and invite everyone for a banquet. He was quite a generous man, sharing his pumpkins with the town. He couldn't sell them as they'd go bad soon and they were seasonal, importing them would be too difficult, so he would often hold a small party where they'd devour them all over the course of five hours. An annual tradition, that was the like the New Light festival to the people of the village...

She missed that small blot on the map, almost as much as she missed her own home but her family came first when it came to her worries. What if Ferrin was right? What if war came to Fredrick and Eric? How would Fredrick move him out of the house? Eric is not fit for travel, far from it...

She sighed, heavily, knowing full well that these what if scenarios were just going to stress her out. She needed to think logically, rationally and help her family. Ella pushed onwards, knowing that her objective was far more important, she grabbed the Nord pressed on, inside the city to see if this 'Kaizen' had indeed been here.

Gods, let him be here...
