Chapter 58 - Avulstein's Wedding

After returning home Vincent had the next appointment that led him and his family towards Morthal. Since Behemoth and Lily couldn't carry everyone Vincent compromised himself to carry everyone.

"The second wedding we are going," says Sofie excited as she was in some fine clothes fit for a princess of Skyrim to visited such an occasion.

Hroar was looking a bit uncomfortable in his clothes while Runa liked hers pretty much. Vincent took a peek on what the women are going to dress as his clothes were already organized by Mina and Elisif.

Vincent put them in his bag since somehow when he isn't using an armor his dragon form would rip his clothes apart. He found only out that his armor, as well as the reinforced clothes, had either Dragon Bones or Scale in them making them melt with him as he turns into a Dragon.

He then looks at his children and says, "You all look so cute today. I think my girls will steal the show."

He really wanted to pet their head but didn't do so because it would ruin the hairstyle the others worked so hard to make for them. As he turns to Hroar and says, "And you look pretty manly. Maybe a girl at the wedding will fall for you."

"They are still too young. Maybe we can talk about that when they reach adulthood," says Elisif as she came in a beautiful blue dress that suited her.

"They could have some childhood sweethearts. Even though I really never did but they could," says Mina as she was always on the run and didn't have one.

"We should rather concentrate on the topic or we will be late," says an old woman voice that entered the house.

It was Fralia that entered the house with Eorlund, Olfina, and Jon. Jon was quite nervous since his relationship with Olfina still was a secret to his family. Fralia walked over to the children seeing them wear the necklace they got from Eorlund as she complimented them on their outfits.

"Where are your clothes?" asks Fralia as she looked at Vincent like a mother would do.

"I need to wait since I will be carrying you all over. After arriving I will change into the clothes Mina and Elisif chose for me," says Vincent with a smile as he hugs Fralia before hugging the other three when he whispers into Jon's and Olfina's ears, "Your Wedding will also be soon too. I will be the matchmaker. That way no one can say anything about you two getting married except they want to go against me and feel my fury."

Jon and Olfina were happy as everyone could see their blooming smiles on their faces. Vincent then goes out and says, "I will await you all outside."

Vincent turned into a Dragon and he placed them all on his back as he says, "Are you all ready we are going to take off."

Vincent takes off and for some it was the first time on the back of a Dragon as they arrived almost in a blink in Morthal because of Vincent's size in his Dragon form.

Once overlying Morthal many knew the High King was about to arrive since he was the only one that can ride Dragons. Vincent landed beside the mill as everyone was awaiting them.

Avulstein and Idgrod the Young were in the front row with the Jarls as the people were behind them. Vincent helps them down as Eorlund and Fralia were the first with the children then Jon and Olfina with Vyrve and Susanna and as last were Kirvena, Ysayle, Serana, Mina and Elisif.

Then Vincent turned back as some people were on guard since Serana was a Vampire but they dropped it when they saw how Vincent was interacting with her and the others.

He hugs Avulstein and Idgrod before saying, "Congratulation. Now let me find a place to change before the whole Wedding begins."

They both smiled and a guard showed Vincent the way towards the Inn to change into his clothes. After having his clothes on he reunites with the others as the Wedding would begin in an hour.

They toured through Morthal or at least through there was since it was a small city that was beginning to grow again because of Avulstein's help.

The Wedding began and Vincent was sitting behind Eorlund while the children sat beside Eorlund and the others making Avulstein's standing rises higher in the Nord's eyes since Vincent wasn't sitting on the seats prepared for the High King and his family but on the Grooms family side even if it was on the second line.

After the rites and giving their yes the party began as it was now Vincent's most hated activity, Socializing. Many wanted to talk to him and he really hated it.

'I had an easier life as a Dragoon or Dragonborn. No one wanted to talk to me except for some people that knew me,' thinks Vincent as he was talking to Erikur who is listed on the same list as Maven.

'Sooner or later you won't be smiling like that,' thinks Vincent when the conversation was over and he walked to the next person to keep talking before Elisif finds out that he ignored everyone.

This went on for a while until he was exhausted and retired to be with the family after having talked with every person Elisif told him to talk to.

"Hard day?" asks Avulstein seeing Vincent sitting on a chair as he had his eyes closed.

"You have no idea," says Vincent as he opened his eyes and asks, "Where did you leave your beautiful wife?"

"She is talking with mother and your wives," says Avulstein who sat down beside Vincent and asks, "Why talk with every person?"

"Because if I don't do it my wife would kill me for not gaining support from the nobles in Skyrim. Also, we are almost ready to go to war and we need as much support as possible," says Vincent as he explained to Avulstein why he was talking with the people when he sees Avulstein laugh and Vincent says, "Don't laugh about my situation. Sooner or later you will also be in my position having to talk about some dry topics you aren't even interested in."

"I hope not Morthal is a quiet place after all," says Avulstein as they continue talking about Mina and Elisif that he could clearly see that are pregnant.

After some time the children came over with there new friends. One was the brother-in-law of Avulstein while the other was an orphan girl that was taken in by a suspicious mage that lived in Morthal.

Avulstein told him that the mage named Falion is a good man just that he hates to Socialise. It seems that Agni had magic talent while Joric seems to have inherited his mother's talent maybe even more.

"Joric is quite different, isn't he?" asks Vincent as Avulstein had a sad smile on his face.

"Yes, many think he is mad but he really isn't. He is just mostly in visions and that makes him sometimes walk aimlessly around the town until I or my wife catch him and bring him back. But it seems he really likes the company of other children. I hope more people come to Morthal to repopulate it," says Avulstein as Vincent puts his hand on Avulstein's shoulder.

"Sooner or later it will. I'm also stuck with rebuilding Winterhold beginning next month before I go to war," says Vincent as it was quite difficult to rebuild an almost dead city but Vincent likes challenges.

Once the day was over they stayed at the Inn and slept there and bid farewell the next day as Vincent transforms into a Dragon and flies back with his family. Back in Whiterun Vincent was already scheming as he sent two letters one was for the Battle-Born Clan while the other was for the Gray-Mane Clan.

In the letter stood that as High King of Skyrim he wants both Clans to become close again by making Jon Battle-Born marry Olfina Gray-Mane. Both will establish a new clan named the Battle-Mane becoming a bridge between the Battle-Born and Gray-Mane Clan.

Vignar was the first to protest while Eorlund gave a fuck about his brother. The Battle-Born Clan had only two people against it that being the head Olfrid and his son Idolaf. But both backed off when Vincent just glanced at them while Vignar didn't. He kept saying he was supported by the Companions when suddenly an old man with white hair entered.

"Vignar, I heard you use our name quite frequently this makes many of the Companions believe that we have a second Ragnar the Red between us. Do you want to share the same destiny as him? That is my question since one specific Companion would gladly do that," says the white-haired man as he looked at Vincent looking a bit in disbelieve before recovering and says, "Yes, you would be a good leader to follow. Maybe it is time for us to dissolve and become part of what Talos told me in my dreams."

"Or maybe we should wait for some month to not drag too much attention," says Vincent as the white-haired man nods.

"Maybe, my name is Kodlak Whitemane. I'm the Harbinger of the Companions. I give advice when advice is required to a request we accept," says Kodlak as Vincent presented himself and Kodlak says, "So you were the brat that didn't let me sleep that night Aela was screaming my ears out. I don't think anyone could have slept that night."

"That was most likely me," says Vincent a little embarrassed that this came up after so long.

"Well since I said what I came to say I will retreat since this doesn't need my nor the Companions approval," says Kodlak as he leaves he passed Eorlund and you could hear Eorlund whisper his thanks to Kodlak.

"Now since no one had anything against it the wedding will be in two weeks. I can wait to wed my other three women in a month," says Vincent as everyone nod making at least the women of both Clans happy since they thought the feud was a silly thing between them.

Vincent was returning home when he encountered Aela on his way and she packs his arm while showing a lewd smile and says, "You are mine tonight. I already informed Mina about it."

She then dragged him with her to Jorrvaskr as he asks, "How was your work?"

"It was exhausting. I had to pass the border to Hammerfell kill some beasts and their tamer that were bandits. It really made me miss you a little but now that I see you it seems I really missed you more than I thought since I'm already excited," says Aela as they entered Jorrvaskr making everyone know they won't catch a wink tonight.
