Chapter 57: Chapter XXX: Honoring the Sixth House



I groan slightly as I open my eyes, after looking around for a bit it appears I somehow ended up in one of the luxury rooms. I prepare to get up but stop when I notice a weight on my chest under the covers.

'please don't be a dude, please don't be a dude, please don't be a dude..'

I lift the cover and am met with the sight of gold skin and orange-brown hair.

I blink a couple of times 'This is..... better? I think...'

My nightly companion stirs and slowly opens her eyes, meeting my own.

I stare at her for a bit and slowly ask "So... how exactly did this happen?"

Faralda of all godsdamned people gives me one of her signature chilling smiles "Why Reyvin, you already forgot your declarations of eternal love to me?" and then makes a small pout.

I roll my eyes and chuckle "I know I was drunk, but I sure as hell was not that drunk"

Suddenly I receive an electric shock on my leg and spasm slightly "Ok, ok, point taken."

Faralda lets out a tired laugh "Don't worry my dear student, we merely got drunk and decided to have some 'fun'"

"Riiight..." I drawl out, and then a terrifying thought assaults my mind "Please tell me it was a safe day for you" I ask in a very concerned voice voice.

She laughs and gives me a teasing look "Have no fear, even if you were rather careless last night there won't be any little Dagoths running around"

I let out a relieved sigh, I am not ready to deal with children again, or for the next five decades thank you very much!

We both lie down in silence and just when I am about to drift off to sleep again I hear a knock on the door, from the other side I hear one of my employees speak "Master Reyvin, it is well past morning, you told us to wake you if you slept in"

I groan and yell back "Thank you, ill be up in a minute" I turn to Faralda "Well, I guess it's time to get going, you need anything?"

She shakes her head "No, you can go on." and adds with a pout "I will stay for a bit longer, I am quite worn out and I refuse to get up this early."

I chuckle and get up, summoning my robes because actually dressing normally is for peasants. "Well, with that nice ego boost to start my morning I am off, see you later then." I wave behind as I leave the room.

(A/n: Before anyone asks she is absolutely not the 'main waifu', this doesn't however mean that the mc is celibate)

I walk down the stairs into the common room and the eyes of all those present turn to me. Bor gets up from his chair, still groggy from last night, and asks me dramatically "You are alive?!"

I narrow my eyes "And what is that supposed to mean?"

I hear quiet chuckles around me and Bor smirks "Well you did basically challenge the Master of destruction to a drinking competition and halfway through just throw her over your shoulder and carried her upstairs"

I blink slowly and let out a whistle "God damn, now I am disappointed I don't remember most of last night"

He approaches me and shakes my shoulders "Seriously man how are you alive?"

I narrow my eyes "I've recently encountered the same name" He looks at me worried for a moment and I explain the letter I found in the Dwemer ruin.

"Be very careful with this, right now you might not have drawn too much attention from them because you were part of a group, but if you start targeting them they will find out and hunt

you down" he warns

I nod "Of course I am not an idiot"

My father snorts "Says the kid who straight up stabbed a Telvanni Master and had a talk with

Mephala in the same day"

I cough into my hand to hide my instinctual embarrassment that one can only feel in front of

their parent "Yes, that may have been... a bit hasty"

He looks at me with a raised eyebrow as if to say 'a bit?'

Forcefully changing the topic I ask "So, I was expecting to see grandfather here as well, any reason he might have chosen not to appear?"

Vyren shakes his head "About a century after his death I tried summoning him time and time again in an attempt to make amends, but he is either unwilling or unable to be summoned."

I raise an eyebrow "Think his spirit might be stuck in the Red Mountain still?"

He nods "Possibly, though I wouldn't recommend checking it out until you are very powerful and capable of surviving the current state of Vvardenfell"

"True... Ill keep that in mind. On a more interesting note, think you can show me some

destruction tricks, now that I don't completely suck at it?"

My father hums and says faux-arrogantly "Hmmm, I guess I can be convinced to give up a secret of two to the lowly apprentice in front of me"

I roll my eyes and he starts showing me how to better cast some spells. After proving to him

that I am far better than he hoped he even tells me how to better strengthen the third eye while doing Magika exercises.

This goes on for almost the entire day until late in the evening he is forced to leave to avoid going insane, we give each other a somber goodbye and I promise to summon him again in a

year.
