When he arrived back at camp, the sun had set, he moored the boat, walked towards Rose who was stirring something in the pot that hung over the campfire. He thought to himself, \u201cthat smelled great, I hope that is for all of us to share.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He walked up without saying another word, looked over at Rigmor who Rose had dressed in some sort of burlap looking garment. He mused, \u201cNot my choice of material but its likely easy to work with when Rose is attending her wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He then stood, looking at Rigmor then back to Rose. He quietly pondered, \u201cThere is something about this Rigmor and of course Rose too. Why is this happening? Are the guiding hands of fate at work here.\u201d Then Rose spoke, \u201cWe\u2019ll did you get the stuff from Anise?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\"There's\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer replied, \u201cYeah, I suspect she was expecting me. We\u2019ll maybe not me but someone.\u201d Rose asked, \u201cWhy do you believe that?\u201d He replied, \u201cEverything we needed was laid out on a table in her cabin together as if she knew exactly what we would want.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose took the stuff from him, put the meat and vegetables in the pot of bubbling water. She then stood up and went and sat down on a stump, watched him for a moment waiting for him to come over to talk.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"She\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer went over and sat down too. Silence descended on the campsite. Rose then asked, \u201cWhat did Hedren say?\u201d He turned towards her and replied, \u201cHe didn\u2019t like it one bit. He said there were people nosing around. Looking for Rigmor, you know the reward and all. He said you owned him big this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She giggled then said, \u201cHe need not worry, I find a way to pay him back. I knew he would help. \u201cThe adventurer look at her and asked, \u201cAre you and Hedren, you know?\u201d Rose blushed and replied, \u201cNo, were just friends that\u2019s all.\u201d The adventurer replied, \u201cI\u2019m sorry, I didn\u2019t mean to be so nosy. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n

\"Are\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose thought a moment then said, \u201cYou know I was thinking when you were gone. With Rigmor recovering, you don\u2019t need to stick around if you have other places you need to be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer replied, \u201cIt\u2019s okay Rose, I want to stay. I want to help both of you.\u201d Rose paused then replied, \u201cYou know, you are kind and generous. I don\u2019t know what we would have done if not for all your help. I\u2019ll have to think of a way to pay you back. \u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer replied, \u201cNo need to do that Rose, you are a beautiful, kind, and with a heart of gold.\u201d Rose blushed, \u201cThank you, I like hearing that. It\u2019s not often heard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose then replied, \u201cYou know when Rigmor recovers and we help her get to where she was going, what then? Have you given it any thought to what you might do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer replied, \u201cI don\u2019t really plan that way, my life is different, it seems that when I try and plan something, life comes at me and says, \u2018On no you don\u2019t!\u2019\u201d He chuckled then asked, \u201cWhat about you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose replied, \u201cyou know I am not getting any younger, with the war between the Empire and Stormcloaks, an increase of Thalmor in the area, and other types such as magic users I was thinking it might be time to head for somewhere else. Like maybe the Gold Coast area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked at him waiting, nothing was said so she said, \u201cYou know its rumored that on top of that mountain behind us is a temple. It is said that it is full of gold and treasures. No one has ever come back though that ventured up the mountain to investigate it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want me to go, and see?\u201d She responded, \u201cIf you find anything we\u2019ll split by halves.\u201d The adventurer replied, \u201cOkay, if anyone deserves it is you. Tell me though, why haven’t you had Hedren go and fetch it?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rose replied, \u201cBecause I don\u2019t trust him to not get himself killed. I consider him a friend, you know. I wouldn\u2019t want any harm to come to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer replied, \u201cI guess that means you trust me.\u201d Rose replied, \u201cYes, I do, we were brought together by this girl, and you have been so kind and helpful. I know it\u2019s a lot, but well never mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer smiled then said, \u201cWhere do I go, what do I look for to know I am on the right track.\u201d Rose replied, \u201cgo up this mountain path behind us. You will continue across and upward until you see a gold ore location. Once you see that look up and then you will see a rough trail made of old stairs and rocks that lead up the side of the mountain to the temple or whatever is up there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The adventurer stood up and replied, \u201cOkay, wish me luck and take care of our girl while I am gone looking for this shrine on the mountain top. \u201c<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
