    __________________________________________________________

            SuVahdin woke up to the silence and dark. Living with the Greybeards was quiet. Adopted by them, and lived with them for as long as she could remember. The only one that could speak was Arngeir, as the other's did not have the strength to speak as they could only release there thu'um. However, SuVahdin was always different, and master Arngeir recognized this. She had a natural ability to control her strength. Not only that but she was extremely aware of her surroundings as she could feel the vibrations in the ground, and the wind around her, however it was not great but she could at least sense others around her.

            She ran her hands across the nightstand until she felt her walking stick in the grasp of her palm. She got up and walked to the dining room. Realizing the Greybeards let her sleep in, she tried to eat quickly. As she was eating she felt a change in the wind and a familiar vibration in the ground. It was Arngeir. The vibrations he cast with each footstep dug deep in the ground not vibrating in a wave like movement that was very distinct.

            She turned around and tried to adjust herself to him as much as she could.

    "Good morning Master Arngeir." She said as she bowed

    "Good morning Su" He said with a graceful smile. "Can you cook lunch today? The Dovahkiin will be arriving today, with his family."

            She smiled and nodded her head in delight. She may have been blind but she was quite a good cook. Master Arngeir had grown to trust her in the kitchen.

            It was 10:25 and the Dovahkiin would arrive at 11:56. So she began cooking for the feast. The Dovahkiin arrived quite often but he rarely brought his family and when he did, the Greybeards welcomed them very well. He had two children that she adored. There was one 5 year old girl, Luna and one 3 year old boy, Sebastian. Su really enjoyed the company of children, the innocence and kindness of them. His wife Tara was always kind to Su, and was always talkative.

           She eventually finished cooking and then set all of the dishes and eating utensils out. She sat down tired from cooking and the heat from the stove but before she could relax there was the very rare sound of knocking on the door. Except it wasn't the usual 3 knocks then pause, it was a barrage of knocking and banging sounds from the door.

          She followed the sound and opened the door. Behind the door was two little kids knocking on the door and two annoyed parent's trying to pry them off of the door knocker. She smiled and hugged both of the kids and then hugged El'jar the Dovahkiin.

     

           El'jar was a short Khajiit full of personality. He also happened to be a bard and a beautiful singer. Su always enjoyed her Uncle El'jar's company. She was always shy and quiet which went well with El'jar's loud and charismatic personality.

    "I have missed your company very much!" Exclaimed El'jar with a smile

           She smiled and motioned him into High Hrothgar. Master Arngeir led them to the dining room to feast. El'jar and his family followed and sat down to eat. During the feast El'jar grew serious, an emotion he rarely shared with company. He looked over at Arngeir and said with a serious tone that pierced the air like a bolt from a ballista.

    "Arngeir, I need to speak with you in private."
