At Riverwood, Martin and Viconia stopped at the sleeping giant inn for the night. While they were eating, a man in miner outfit, came in the inn. He was exausted, he seemed to have ran all the way down to the city from a mine. He said, « The Mine ! The others ! They- ». But he fainted before he could finish. Orgnar, the new owner of the inn, took him to a room. The man had a bad fever, Orgnar said he was babling in his sleep, something about the Silverfall mine, and something ununderstandable about his coworkers. Martin looked at Viconia with a big smile on his face. Viconia crossed her arms and said « You're not thinking about that, are you ? ». « What if I say... Yes ? » said Martin, with a smile. « We have a world to save ! » exclaimed the Drow. « And you know I can't say no to someone in need... » pouted the Nord. Viconia made a pause, and finally said, « One night of delight, and we can go... ». Martin turned red, « Wait, what ?! ». The Drow put her arms around Martin's neck, getting closer to him, she said, « You heared right... » with a playfull smile.
The next thing happen in their room. Martin was passing his hands over Viconia's back. Rubbing every of her curves. They were covered in sweat from the ambiant heat and their... activity. Viconia made a delighted grunt. « You really like my massage... » Martin said, laughting lightly. « You should never had made me discover that part of you. » she responded, enjoying every of his touch. Martin smiled and warned her, « Crack ! » and pushed with his two thumb on the end of Viconia's back, upon cracking a little, Viconia's body relaxed, while she, dive her head in the pillow. Martin gave a light kiss on her long elven ear and whispered, « Finished. ». Viconia complained « Does it have to ? », while Martin was taking his place beside her. She, then, jumped on top of him and kissed him with lust. When their lips parted, Martin said, « You know we should take some rest, right ? ». « Knowing and wanting, is totally different, mrann d'ssinss. » she answered, kissing him again. Martin knew he could not stop her, and in fact, he wouldn't want her to.
In the morning, the two adventurers woke up full of energie, and departed for the Silverfall mine.
Upon arriving at the mine, Martin felt something, a chill got down his spine. This mine had something... It was... weird.
They entered, and the first thing Martin saw was... nothing... the mine was as dark as possible. Even Viconia, who was a Drow, an underground elf, had dificuties to see. Martin got a torch out, and they saw the mine. It seemed to have been abandoned for many years now, cogwebs were everywhere. The couple began walking. They walked on a wooden corridor, when they heared a cracking. All of a sudden, the wooden floor under their feets broke, and the two adventurers got forcefully deeper in the mine.
After a long fall, they were lucky to end up in an underground lake. They quickly got out of the cold water. Once on the ground, Martin asked Viconia if she was alright. « Except for the cold water... I'm fine... and you ? » she asked. « I must admit that the water was cold... Besides the fact my armor must have half the lake in it... I'm good... » he jocked.
They decided to make a fire and dry their armors before anything else. Martin took some wood from a nearby construct and started a fire, while Viconia was removing her damp armor, fortunately for her, it was mostly in metal, so it was not too water keeping. Martin took off his armor as well and spun its furs to get the most water he could out. After some minutes close to the fire, Martin began to shiver. Viconia laughed lightly, got closer to him, and asked, « Cold ? You ? Am I dreaming of something ? ». « Ho shut it... It's not you who whore the fur, cold, damp, armor. » said Martin with a smile and a shiver. The Drow, again, got closer, and started to cuddle with him, « It's just... I never saw you feeling cold before. » she said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.
After what seemed to be an hour, the fire stopped, and the two of them got dressed. The torch was damp, so Martin had to follow Viconia, who was seeing pretty good this time. They began to walk, but then, a clanging sound made itself heard and a flash was seen. « What was that ?! » said Martin, preparing his swords. « Something feels odd here... » added Viconia, sword ready. « Let's not waste more time then... » continued Martin. And they resumed searching a way out. After a little more walking. They arrived in a small room, at its center was a table with two chairs, and some books on it. Upon entering it, a weird sound began, like someone using a bow to play a luth of something, and two skeletons appeared, sitting in the two chairs, but the two corps desapeared after some seconds. « Gods... what just happened ?! », said Viconia, still having some dificulties to understand what had happened. « I really don't like it... let's look at the books, maybe one of them will give us something interesting. » responded Martin, walking to the table to look at the books. Only one of them was of some help, it was the diary of a miner. It explained that the mine seemed like normal for the first days they were in, but that things got weirder and weirder by the weeks, that some sound was heared regulary, usually acompanying the events. Making the link between these informations and what happened was not dificult. They decided to resume their way up the mine. After passing through many other coridors in the mine, always ending up on a dead end. They saw a hole in the ground, and a light emanating from it. They had no choice, they jumped in it, and ended up in a small river. Following it's stream, they got out of the water, Martin and Viconia's boots were flic flocing as she say, « Great ! Now we are sure we will get a cold... ». « And we can't make a fire here... » sighed Martin. « Let's keep moving... » added the Drow.
Again, they resumed their way. Getting in a new corridor, they saw some kind of ghost, a floating skeleton with dark bones, and dark mist getting out of it. All of a sudden, the sound made itself heard, and the ghost disapeared, the way ahead of them got stuck by rocks, and something cracked behind them. The two turned around, seeing that another skeleton ghost was here. It entered by destroying a wooden wall and revelating a new passageway. After killing it, they entered the only way they had.
Continuing their way, they found a wide, new mineshaft. After walking it for some seconds, the same ghost apeared and a flash of black light transported the couple in a weird room. It was small, with only one door. Without a word, Martin opened it, instantly they ended up in a new room, with two doors. Viconia opened one of them and they ended up in another room, with three doors. And that followed like that, until they end up in a long corridor. They walked down it, every 2 meters, the clang noise could be heard, and each time, something new appeared and disapeared. Once, it was some blood stain. Other times, a moving wooden manequin. Other time, the two at the same time. Martin and Viconia both saw more frightening things in their lives, but they had to admit that, they were unconfortable. They finally saw the end of the corridor. They passed the door and ended up in a misty field, with a house in it's center.
Seeing that, Martin exclaimed « What in Talos' name is happening ? ». They couldn't go anywhere else, so they tried to enter the house. Unfortunately, it was locked. But Martin was full of surprise, he got a lockpick and a knife out, and began trying to unlock the door. After several failed attenpt, Viconia have had enough. She kicked down the door and entered. « Very sneaky, my love... » said Martin. « Look who is saying this. » she answered, lovingly hitting his arm.
Once inside the house, they were surprised to see that it was bigger on the inside. Martin gave a light laugh and said, « What's next ? A blue box who can travel through time and space ? », prompting Viconia to laugh a little too. They searched the house, and stopped at a chest in the bassement. When Martin was about to touch it, a stomping noise appeared and the chest ended up behind them, at the edge of the stairs. They approached it again, and it fled again. This continued until the chest was cornered in the first floor. Martin opened it and heared skeletons noise. He and Viconia turned around again and destroyed the two skeletons in no time. Martin, then, resumed searching the chest. He only found a key. The only thing they couldn't check was a locked room, maybe it was the good key.
It was, indeed, the good key. They found a diary and a bed in the room. They read the diary and found out that a thing, called the chaos stone, was responsible of what happened here. The stone was belived of being immaterial, and reachable only by someone's head. Viconia had no idea what to do next, and neither did Martin.
After many minutes of thinking, Martin had an idea, « I know ! If we sleep, maybe we could fight the stone, and destroy it ! ». « This is crazy. » said Viconia. « So is this place ! What does it cost to try ? » responded Martin. Viconia made a little pause and finally said, « Point taken... ». The two of them, then, tryed to sleep. After some minutes trying, they finally succeded.
Awakening in front of a big stone. They prepared themselfs to destroy what seem to be the chaos stone.
Martin hitted it with one of his sword, and had a shocking return, a shockwave counterhitted him and a bunch of skeletons appeared.
Once destroyed, some storm altronach showed up, shocking the hell out of them before they could even react. They got on their knees while the altronach were closing in. The lightnings were getting through Martin and his shock resist enchanted gauntlets were not powerfull enough to counter them. Martin had no more choices, he tryed to shout, but he couldn't, the shock was too powerfull. What he saw next was Viconia, getting up desprite the pain, and jumping on an altronach, planting her sword through it's ''face''. The other was distracted enough to try hitting her, but she hitted it with her fist, destroying it's head. As the gauntlet not be here, she couldn't had done it. She walked to Martin and held out a hand, helping him up. « How ? » he managed to ask through his pained body. « Pain is a handmaiden to my poeple... It was almost nothing... » she simply responded. Martin gave a light laugh and said « Remind me to never piss you off... ». Their peace was cut short by a skeleton sound. The ghost they saw so many time was here, alone. Martin had just the time to push Viconia out of it's lightning. Without a wait, he shouted, « WULD ! », cutting through the specter and destroying it.
It should have been the chaos stone's avatar, because once destroyed, Martin and Viconia woke up at the same time, in the inn's room. They looked at each other and asked in unison « Chaos stone dream ? », and responded, in unison again, « Yeah... ». The two of them laughed and looked at each other, Martin jocked, « No more odd alcohol mix before sleep... ». Viconia laughed too and responded, « I'll remember this. » she got her head on Martin's chest and fell back to sleep.
Before sleeping too, Martin saw something on the table, a key that looked familiar, just like the one in the house.
