Julie returned to the Underland after the battle, finding herself welcome among its residents as a hero. She wandered the streets, listening to the cheers and praises sung from the crowds. The Dunmer found herself surrounded by people, all cheering her name.

“Julie! Eilo! Eilo! Eilo!”

She sighed, forcing a smile as she waved and ducked into the Grove to escape the crushing amount of people.

The Grove was peaceful, serene, beautiful. She could hear running water as she wandered over to the mound of dirt in the middle, stopping to smell the Mara flowers. They were as perfect as ever.

As was this final resting place.

“Hey…” Julie whispered, a faint smile on her face as she sat down on the grass, reading the headstone that the Underlanders had put in at her request whilst she was away.

''Here lies Set Oakvale ''

''Friend. Husband. Hero. ''

''Perfect. ''

Julies smile grew wider, even though her lips trembled. She reached out and touched the gravestone, slowly stroking it.

“I hope you’re okay in here. It’s…this place is perfect. So calm and peaceful. It r-reminds me of when we frolicked.” She giggled, her smile fading for a second. “I really miss you, love. I was so…so tempted during the fight. I…” She sighed again, hanging her head as her grip tightened on the gravestone.

“I wanted to ask him to bring you back…” Julie wiped the tears from her eyes, closing them as she focused on her memories.

“I know, love. It wouldn’t be right.” She agreed. “But, at least you came out when we killed him huh?”

She chuckled. “Yeah. It was brutal as fuck. Pretty cool right? You woulda been so proud if you were there.”

“Y-yeah I guess you were sort of there.”

Julie leaned over, kissing the top of the grave and embracing it tightly as she cried. “I don’t know where to go now. I have to face a life without you in it…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Sets glow hummed within her gut, comforting her and stopping her tears. It almost felt like he was there holding her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah that makes sense. I will stay here, with Rie if she wants. We’ll look after you and I’ll have our baby here my love. I’ll bring it to see you every day…” The Dunmer breathed deeply, focusing on remaining strong as she stood up and brushed herself off. Her stomach was already well rounded, signalling she was at least three months gone. She turned away from her husband’s grave, exiting the grove for the day. “I love you…” Julie whispered, smiling with sad eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">~6 months and 10 days later…~

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">A loud scream pierced through the minds of several residents as they scrambled around a woman laying on her bed. Her short, scruffy red hair was matted across her heavily sweaty forehead. Blood surrounded her legs as well as a lot of water.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Push!” One voice shouted at her.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How long has she been going!?” another asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“About twelve hours ma’am!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Gods. And she has refused medication for the pain.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Look at her scars! She’s tough!”

<p class="MsoNormal">The midwives nodded as they continued to urge the woman to push, another loud scream echoing in their heads.

<p class="MsoNormal">“SEEEEEEEEEEET!” The voice screamed as she pushed, going with all her natural instincts, her legs being raised by magic.

<p class="MsoNormal">“C’mon! I can see a head! Eilonwyn! You can do this!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“I know!” Julie screamed, feeling his soul slip away. “I don’t want you to leave me! Set! Stay!”

<p class="MsoNormal">“She’s growing delirious!”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie howled and screamed and cried, shaking in her bed as another mage had to be called to keep her body still, or else she’d break the baby’s neck…

<p class="MsoNormal">“SEEEEEEET PLEEEEASSSSEEE! I don’t wanna be alone!” The Dunmer wailed as she struggled, the sweat on her face mixing with the tears.

<p class="MsoNormal">There was a moment of pure silence as Julie raised her head, defying the mages spell through sheer force of a will. A trait she shared with her husband, who was now standing behind the midwife.

<p class="MsoNormal">A cry shot through them both as Julie finally gave birth.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You’re the best Eilo…” Set whispered, his face full of pride and love. “You’re gonna make a great mother.”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie nodded in panic, realising that this was it. “I love you Set!” Julie cried, hiccupping.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I love you to Eilonwyn…” The Bosmer whispered as he faded away. “Now and forever…”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie howled again, her grief striking the midwives surrounding her newborn child as she watched the light blue vapour that was her husband float up through the ceiling, off to find his home in Aetherius.

<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll see you in a couple hundred years, Set…Julie thought before the crying of her child interrupted her train of thought.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It’s a girl…” The midwife cooed, wrapping Julies daughter in a towel and passing her to the new mother. “Did you have a name?”

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie didn’t hear as she gasped, panting as she moved the towel to look at her daughters face. A large grin formed on the mothers lips.

<p class="MsoNormal">The baby was gorgeous. Albeit slightly pale. She was a Bosmer with a shock of messy black hair.

<p class="MsoNormal">“My baby…” Julie soothed, rubbing its soft cheek with her finger. “It really was yours…” She laughed quietly when it opened its eyes, looking at her mother and gurgling.

<p class="MsoNormal">''One Red… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''One Green… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''One for me… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''One for you… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">''Set… ''

<p class="MsoNormal">Julie looked upon her child, wondering if she would get into as many adventures as her parents…

<p class="MsoNormal">“Eilonwyn!” The midwife snapped. “Do you have a name?”

<p class="MsoNormal">The Dunmer nodded, looking at the midwife and proudly stating it.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Lianne…”
