She walked up to the sleeping Katrina, stood there in silence watching her slowly breathe in and out then said, “My daughter, go forth and fulfill that which you were born to be. When you are done, missing home, come to us, we will be waiting, ‘Tiid, Los, Hin Dez’, ‘Time Is Your Destiny’ my daughter. We will be waiting.” With that the room returned to an empty silence and she slept the dreams of purpose until the first light of dawn filtered into the room and stirred her from her sleep.
Katrina slowly rose, slid her legs over the side of the bed to a sitting position. She sat there a while, trying to remember something about her dreams, there was something that transformed her here beyond what she already had become aware of. Her dreams were full of strange messages and memories of other people, other places.
One from last night was the last she remembered experiencing. She sat there pondering, then thought, “Mother, you were here! I remember now, you said to me, “Go forth and fulfill that which you were born to be.” Katrina paused then, closed her eyes and then both heard and saw her, “Tiid, Los Hin Dez, Time Is Your Destiny. Come to us when you are done, we will be waiting.”
The tears rolled down her cheeks from her closed eyes as she thought, “You were beautiful, I will come to you although I am not sure yet what it means, ‘Time Is Your Destiny’” She opened her eyes then, found a cloth she would use to wipe away the tears and went to an area set aside for reading with food and books all within easy reach.
Here she sat for a while reading, eating some fruit, nuts, and bread for breakfast. She knew she needed to begin her journey back to Whiterun soon. She wanted to make it back to the home that had been left for her. There she would plan her approach to release Whiterun from the hold of the Thalmor. Today she would go to meet her “Dez”, her fate.
