Traveling through The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Unexpectedly, the cave was actually a tunnel. The draft inside was stronger than outside. This was really bad luck! Helgi stumbled behind me. I was really afraid that she would suddenly die. After passing through the tunnel and coming to a canyon, we found a hunter's camp. Three simple tents were arranged in a triangular shape, with a pile of extinguished campfires in the middle, a few animal skins thrown on the ground, and some tableware and supplies next to them. It seemed that the owner of the camp had only left temporarily.

I can't care about that anymore! I pulled Helgi over and stripped her naked in no time. The little girl was horrified. She couldn't understand why the friend who had just escaped together could do such a beastly thing! But she had no ability to resist now. She couldn't even shout for help. She could only let me do whatever I wanted. I picked up the blanket in the tent, helped Helgi dry her body, wrapped her up with a bear skin, and then put two wolf skins on the ground and put the little girl on them. I had no feelings for her young body at all. It wasn't because I was a gentleman, but because I was so cold that I couldn't have any thoughts about that.

I put our wet clothes on the top of the tent, found a few pieces of hard bread to share with Helgi, and then wrapped myself in the bear skin and crawled into another tent. It was the darkest moment before dawn. Although I wanted to stay awake and keep watch, I finally fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, it was already bright. Helgi had a low fever, but he was in good spirits. We could finally take a breath. The owner of the camp did not come back. We collected some pine branches, and Helgi used the fire tongue technique to light them and made a bonfire. My left foot was very swollen. The healing technique seemed to be for external injuries, and it had limited effect on sprains. The supplies in the camp should be enough for the two of us to support for about three days. There is also a stream pouring down from the mountain and merging into a small pond. I won’t say anything else. I have to boil a pot of pine needle tea first.

I explained hypothermia to Helgi and apologized to her. The little girl had already suffered a loss, so she could only express her understanding. Holding the hot tea, she suddenly began to cry silently, then burst into tears, and then sobbed to me.

Helgi has shown an outstanding talent for magic since she was young, and therefore she is regarded as the apple of her eye by her mother, the female leader of the tribe, Xinanmeng. The entire tribe knows that this girl is the next female leader. Her sisters have also accepted this fact, and they clearly know that they will lie on the altar and become the sacrifice in Helgi's transformation ceremony in the future. This is their fate as female Reach people, and there is no escape. The proud girl of heaven grew up in the stars, enjoying the best education of the tribe. She is smart, confident, straightforward, and hardworking. At the age of childishness, Helgi has made people believe that she can become an excellent female leader in the future.

Three years ago, one of Helgi's tribesmen, Zoltan, expressed his love for her. Zoltan was fifteen years older than her. As for who her father was, Helgi didn't know, because just like the chief of the Orc tribe owned all the women of the tribe, the matriarch of the Reach tribe owned all the men of the tribe. Naturally, Zoltan was also one of her mother's lovers. This man was quite favored by the matriarch, and was transformed into the Heart of Thorns by her mother's secret technique and ordered to lead the army of the tribe. The ignorant girl accepted this relationship in a muddle-headed way, and she fell deeper and deeper. Only the matriarch in the tribe had the power to give birth. Helgi felt a sense of excitement of touching taboos in the underground love affair. She had begun to look forward to replacing her mother as soon as possible and truly owning Zoltan.

The Snake Cliff Ridge Tribe is considered to be very powerful in the southern part of Rich Territory. Xinanmeng is also an ambitious female leader. She has been planning to seize the Sunshine Garden Fortress and has repeatedly urged her son to launch an attack, but Zoltan has been pretending to be submissive and finding various excuses to keep his troops in place. During a tryst with Helgi, he said that he was reluctant to leave his lover's side, so he disobeyed orders. Xinanmeng was very angry about Zoltan's behavior and even threatened to remove his military power. Helgi was very happy and thought that his sweetheart did this because he "loved beauty more than the country" and was extremely romantic. It dragged on for more than a year, and Xinanmeng's patience was almost exhausted, but compared with Zoltan, the other sons were like mud that could not be supported on the wall. The female leader is very old. Is it so difficult to build a strong tribe in her lifetime? !

At this time, the Nords in Markarth suddenly launched an attack on the Forsworn tribe in the south of the Reach. Xinanmon led the tribe to resist. The female leader felt incredible. Zoltan, who she relied on the most, refused to accept her orders! Standing with this damn traitor were most of the tribe's warriors, her 18-year-old daughter Stella, and Helgi! Her Helgi! It turned out that Zoltan had told Helgi that he had lost the favor and trust of the female leader and might be dismissed from military power at any time. Only by getting rid of Xinanmon could they keep everything for both of them. He and his army were willing to support Helgi as the new female leader, and the timing of the Nords' arrival was just right. They could kill with a borrowed knife. He had been planning the attack plan of Sun Garden Fortress for two years, and he had it in mind. The Forsworn who fled from other tribes could also be gathered together for his own use. Helgi will have a new territory, more tribesmen, and she will be the queen of South Reach!

Obsessed with love and greed for power, Helgi accepted Zoltan's suggestion without hesitation. Her joining stabilized the morale of the betrayers and even won more onlookers. Xinanmon was betrayed by his two most beloved children. In despair, he led his people who were still loyal to him and launched a crazy suicide charge, but was hacked to death by the Nords. Helgi and Zoltan took this opportunity to march south and successfully captured the Sun Garden Fortress. The funny thing is that Baron Sengard, who had been worried about them for more than two years, didn't know their plan at all, and naively thought that the friendly forces in the direction of Reach Territory belonged to the same imperial camp.

Zoltan, who took the fortress, finally tore off his disguise. It turned out that he and Stella were lovers. If it weren't for Helgi, Stella would be the most likely person to take over as the female leader. But the appearance of Helgi changed everything. Stella's talent determined that she would be the best candidate for sacrifice! Zoltan couldn't accept this outcome. He deliberately bought the hearts of the troops and secretly accumulated the power of resistance. However, the prestige of the female leader was too high and her strength was too strong. No one dared to really go against her. Zoltan thought of Helgi, the talented girl who was praised, worshipped and worshipped by the whole tribe. In his eyes, she was just a spoiled fool. He easily approached her, easily captured her heart, and easily got her body. Everything went so smoothly. Next, he will take back the tribe that should have belonged to him and Stella! It was even Zoltan who took the initiative to offer Helgi as a sacrifice. He simply disdained to continue to enjoy Helgi's body.

Helgi's whole world collapsed. His beloved mother died in despair in the war; his lover, who had made a vow to him, was actually his enemy who was plotting to kill him; his tribesmen, who had once held him in high esteem, now looked at him as if he were a suckling pig waiting to be cut up. Why did everything turn out like this? Or was it that everything had always been like this, but some idiots didn't know it? His short life was like a dream. Ha! Ridiculous, pitiful, and hateful! Helgi hated himself, his innocence, his stupidity, and his greed. He already had the best of everything, but he couldn't wait to get more, but in the end, he got nothing, which made his loved ones sad and his enemies happy.

Helgi was locked in the dungeon. She knew she was finished. She was calm about it. She deserved it. She deserved to die. But the expected sacrifice did not come. Instead, a frightened little boy was sent to live with her. The next day, the little boy was taken away. At lunch, his head and legs were sent back. Two people, three people, Helgi suddenly realized that neither Stella nor herself knew how to transform into a black-winged witch. Many of the secrets of the Rich were passed down orally and never written down. Xinanmeng once explained that only in this way could the secrets be kept and not learned by those with ulterior motives and used against themselves. Therefore, she would not die for a while.

Facing death is scary, but waiting for death that may come suddenly at any time is even scarier. In order to prevent herself from being scared crazy, Helgi chatted with every person who was imprisoned and listened to their stories. Every poor person could have her as an audience, but who would listen to her own story? Slowly, Helgi didn't want to die, or she was unwilling to die like this. She wanted to tell her story to someone else, let this person be the judge, judge her, convict her, and sentence her. If she died like this, who would know her sins, her grievances, and her regrets?

"Sir Knight, do you think I am guilty?"
