Never mind sorry guys hope you can forgive me for the threat last chapter but to be honest I realized this has become my favorite story so far and there is no way I will ever stop posting for it, other than that dreaded curse, writers block. Anyways don't let that stop you from reviewing, so on to the review responses. By the way I will be posting review responses at the beginning of each chapter from now on so if you send a review just wait for the next chapter and I'll answer you there, however if I know I'm going to take a long time on the chapter then I'll just pm you the answer early and then it'll be in the chapter just in case it answers someone else's question too.

Evolution Yes I can see how one would be curious about link's interactions with the daedra. This, however, is another one of my personal views effecting the story. In my most personal opinion, the daedra and the aedra are two sides of the same coin one of which thrives on a more personal worship that is focused on the relationship between mortal and god while the other is a more primal interaction where the mortals worship their selected gods out of fear or for the benefits or for any other selfish reason. Link, as both a champion and worshiper of the three golden goddesses will generally not care about the daedra themselves however those people that do exhibit evil qualities, such as Harkon, will be considered enemies. Now don't think that I forgot you're second question, and yes healing magic would in fact probably be useful. However I probably will only have link using magic that he learned in Hyrule however I plan to add mastery in alchemy as a skill he learned in Hyrule. Thankfully links knowledge of Hylian potions ought to make up for his inability to heal, that and I'm gonna give him about 35 bottles. Thanks for the review, if you have any other ideas just send another.

Ultima-owner Thank you very much. I appreciate your support.

The world traveler yes I've had a similar mod before too in one of my link playthroughs so I understand however because link is going to be a literal spirit of the forests in Skyrim (just wait till he meets some wood elves.) I am having a hard time thinking of a good meeting that hasn't already been done. Of course I can see link with a wolf as well but I don't think that it would work out. I'll keep it in mind and if I can work it out I'll do it but yes there will be some romance but the story is not romance centric, I'm hoping to keep the story as an adventure story that does not try to juggle too many main characters. I plan to have no more than Sarah, link, and Lydia for most of the story until either one of three things happens. I finish the main arch and go fetch Serana, some one submits an OC that I can use (I'll ask the author trust me I'm tenacious), or I finally come up with one (meaning that I quit being so god damn indecisive and just pick one out of the, I don't know, I guess 90 I thought up). Trust me I need help in more ways than one.

As the group of four left the small cave Ralof and Sarah let out a sigh of relief when suddenly Hadvar crouched down and told everyone to hide. As everyone scrambled to find a good hiding spot the black dragon swooped over their position and took off into the distance.

"I think he's finally gone for good now." Said Hadvar.

"well then we shouldn't stick around here, best we head for Riverwood, we can split up there I guess. No point in sticking around this imperial dog after that." Said Ralof

Sarah for her part decided that she was fed up with the fighting between the two boys. "oh for the love of Akatosh! Can you two put it past yourselves for once please. I mean seriously the whole time in the cave all we heard was Ralof or Hadvar bitch and whine about how their best friend grew up to betray their country. For goodness sakes Ralof he's the same guy you used to play with all those days as a kid. And you Hadvar you know you would do everything in your power to support Ralof despite him being a stormcloak so just admit it. Now the two of you make up and we are going to Alvor's to sort everything out!"

For a few minutes everyone was silent as every nord male who had come of age knew that the ire of a woman was never worth water it was you felt you needed. After traveling a while in silence Hadvar finally had the nerve to speak.

"hey kid, what was that thing you did with that bear? I've always known them to be so very territorial that we were close enough for it to maul us. Heck it Was going to maul us but you started playing that strange instrument and it calmed right down."

"that's right I swear to talos that that bear was dancing." Said Ralof

"right so what was that song?" asked Hadvar.

"Saria's song, forest music."

"so you used it to calm down a cave bear?" asked Sarah

"Saria governs over all animal. Life is her domain."

At this point the group had made it to three standing stones. After an explanation from Hadvar link walked up and immediately accepted the Warriors blessing. Sarah walked forward and although she touched the Warriors and Mages stone she ended up with the Thiefs blessing which worried the two soldiers. After accepting their blessings the group of four continued their trek down the mountain and into Riverwood. On the way they came across a few wolves an a lone bandit. Link ran forward and played with the wolves until they just decided to walk away, the bandit, however, fought with Sarah until link knocked him out by sneaking up behind him and bashing him in the head with a stick. The four spent an hour deciding what to do with the bandit until they finally tied him up and left him on the side of the road with nothing but his undergarments. After they finally made their way into Riverwood they decided that Sarah plan to go to Alvor was probably best given his house being neat the mill.

"Hadvar is that you? Are you on shors bones what happened to you boy? And why are you with the stormcloaks? "

"please uncle we need to discus this inside." Said Hadvar.

"very well"

Once inside everyone was glad to finally see some food. Before the hungry guests could look any more pitiful Alvor told them to dig in. As Ralof, Sarah, and Hadvar dug into the food like three little nor children the actual child of the group showed an etiquette that would make even the emperor blush. After everyone had their fill Hadvar explained to his uncle all that had transpired during the day and exactly why they were travelling together. After his story and a few questions from Alvor to diminish his disbelief, Alvor besought the four to travel to Whiterun in order to seek aid from the jarl. Sarah and link agreed to go however Ralof and Hadvar both had other business to attend to so the group was splitting up after dinner. Alvor gave Sarah a fair set of leather armor and boots before she left as a gift to get her out of the stormcloak cuirass that frankly did not fit at all.

Because the sun had already set for the night the two travelers decided to sleep at the local inn for the night. As the two entered the Sleeping Giant they both noticed a few things. One was there was a bard butchering his craft over by the fireplace. The other thing they noticed was that despite their own distaste for the man everyone else seemed to be hating him just as much. As Sarah went in to order some food and reserve their rooms she saw link walk over to the bard.

"you mind I play, everyone might like change every once in while." Link told the bard, in their minds everyone was begging the man to agree. Sarah, however, was busy being surprised at how fast link was learning common.

"sure then if you know what you're doing kid I'll gladly turn over to you, but if you don't preform up to par you are gonna have to pay." Said the bard earning a few growls from the audience but link quickly agreed.

"sure"

As the bard sat down and Sarah sat down with their food link pulled out a small oval shaped object that was blue and raised it to his lips. Confused by the strange instrument the entire tavern was on the edge of their seat as link began to play a song that he was taught by one of his best of friends. As Saria's song echoed through the tavern people would start to get up and dance in wild and uncontrolled glee. As the song came to it's end everyone was laughing and smiling and just having a good time with each other. As everyone found their seats Sarah realized that with all the action she and everyone else had lost all of their fatigue of the day and some were getting ready to start drinking again and that was not something that Sarah could let happen.

"hey link, do you have something slower, maybe something to get us ready for bed?"

Yes link had the song. Would he use it is the question after a moment of debate he thought why not and played the second song he ever learned on his ocarina. By the time he was done everyone was asleep. Link didn't even know what to do so he just ate his food and curled up by the fire. In the morning Sarah was the first to wake up. Once she realized what happened she grabbed link and ran, she didn't even know of anything bad that could've happened but it was in her nature.

The trip to Whiterun was uneventful, after a while link woke up and walked by himself. It was nearing evening when the two reached the farms. The companions complained that they didn't help fight a giant but link completely shut her down by saying that not only is it dishonorable to help it's also dishonorable to fight a lone opponent as a pack. Thankfully Sarah had decided to help link with his common throughout their trip to Whiterun so other than the occasional word or phrase that doesn't translate link was speaking fluent common by the time they had left the woods if not strangely proper common. Thankfully that was worked out before the confrontation with Aela. After Aela managed to calm down from the obvious challenge to her honor she told link to come by the jorrvaskr if he felt that the companions were no challenge. Sadly (or maybe thankfully) he took the bait. While the companions started with their after battle duties Sarah and link continued on up the path to Whiterun.

As the two intrepid explorers were passing a particular farm link suddenly took a vice-grip hold on one of Sarah's legs and hid behind her like a toddler hiding from an abusive parent. The sudden thought for some reason filled Sarah with great anger causing her to scan the area for who it was that was causing the boy such distress. For a moment she looked around to notice that there was no one there not even animals other than the chickens when she suddenly realized what she was doing. She was getting emotionally the involved, of course she agreed to help the blacksmith whose name she couldn't even remember because she hated being in debt to people but this was too much. Once she finished with the jarl she was going to have to go her own way. But until then she needed to get the kid off her leg, she could barely walk.

"what's gotten into you? Their just chickens, after all that big talk you had with the companions and you can't handle a couple of chickens?"

"chickens? No, no those are like those cockoo's. They are not to be taken lightly, it's a curse. Maybe it's only me, maybe it's just my ottek, my family. But they are a vicious and evil creature that I can do nothing to, they just shrug off every one of my attacks." Said link.

"Whatever just get off my leg!"

At that all of the chickens unnaturally turned to look at the two. Links face shifted from a look of denial to pure and absolute terror as he took off screaming, chickens in tow. Sarah didn't know what to do, for a moment she found herself once again standing around flabbergasted. After the initial shock wore off she continued on up the hill after the boy only to find him curled up in a tree crying, surrounded by his tormentors. After checking on his physical state she found him with hundreds if not thousands of claw shaped cuts and bruises and chicken feathers all over in his clothes. Deciding she might as well help him down Sarah took the boy in her arms and carried him the rest of the way to town.

"well I'll be damned they really are vicious little things aren't they?" Sarah asked in hopes of lightening the boys mood. She thought it had worked when he stopped crying but what the boy said nearly made her drop him then and there if not silence him for good.

"I thank you for trying to cheer me up but I blame you're shouting as the cause of the chickens anger, not to metion I do not know if I should trust you with the secrets you yet hold. I will not force you to tell me of your past neither will I look into it with my own skills, but if we are to work together it would be nice to know at least part of the truth from my comrade. Do not worry I've worked with assasins before and you are quite capable."

"Do not speak of this again." Said Sarah in a dark voice.

"on my honor."

And like that all of Sarah's plans of leaving were gone. She couldn't leave the boy now he already knew too much and after travelling this much with him she couldn't get rid of him. She had to keep an eye on him from now on to ensure nothing else got out. Sarah put link down and the two continued on to the front gate. After arguing with the gate guard and explaining why they were there the two were let in. On the way in they heard the common rabble of the city, a man at the blacksmith ordering some swords be made, some snob at the market stalls complaining about the quality of a stall owners goods. As they made their way through town a group of kids came running through and bumped into link. The girl in the front turned to yell at the person that got in her way but just laughed when she saw that link was only a little over half her height.

"Hah look at this runt, acting like he's some sort of adventurer, bet he's never even left mommas side. I doubt you can even use that sword!" Braith said but before she could go on she was stopped by a shout from link that seemed louder and deeper than it should have been which got the attention of a nearby guard.

"WOMAN YOU HAVE OFFENDED ME AND MT PARTNERS HONOR, YOU SHALL SELECT A CHAMPION TO REPRESENT YOU IN A DUEL. GO AND FIND THIS TOWNS BEST FIGHTER FOR YOU WILL NEED HIM. TOMORROW WHEN THE SUN IS HIGHEST IN THE SKY HE IS TO MEET ME INSIDE THE FRONT GATE IF YOU ARE NOT THERE YOU ARE FORFEIT TO THIS MATCH. NOW LEAVE ME."

As link finished the nearby guard whisked away the stammering Braith before she could retort and took her to explain the situation to her father. Link started off towards dragons reach with a huff followed closely by Sarah. Once the two made it to dragonsreach they spoke with the jarl and had him send troops to Riverwood. After their meeting with the jarl they were asked to help the court wizard with his project by going back to bleak falls barrow and finding some rock. On the way out Sarah decided they should stay at the local inn so she went and rented some rooms and bought some food. Sadly she had to use the last of her money on the food and only bought one room so she hoped they would be able to get some sort of reward for this stone to get by, in the meantime she would have to loot the ruins. After link finished his food he walked over and curled up by the fire before falling asleep. Sarah could feel her emotions moving around again and quickly stomped them before picking link up and carrying him to their room.

The next day Sarah woke up to find link gone. Suddenly remembering his challenge from the other day she quickly got dressed and ran out to the front gate. When she got there she found Braith, her family, and the entirety of the companions in a semi circle with a few guards who had come out of interest.

"so who will represent this girls honor as I defend both mine as well as my companions. Be warned to not underestimate me for being a child."

At this Farkas tried to step up only to be stopped by his brother Vilkas who stepped forward. Link had already explained the rules of the match to the audience and if it weren't for the companions nearby the guards would not have agreed so readily. In Hyrule to defend ones honor is considered a match to the death. Thus the gruesome and vicious rules which link dictated were 5hings only the inner circle of the companions were inclined to agree to. As Vilkas stepped up the two squared off and Sarah finally made it to the front as they drew their weapons.
