Blood for Gold [Arya]

[Arya the Unseen]

"A slip up I'm sure." She said with a shrug. "Who knows. I just want my money so I can leave. Some of these men give me looks I'm not exactly fond of."

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"You shouldn't be surprised at their gazes, you are an attractive Nord woman and any man in his right mind would at least sneak a peek." he responded truthfully.

[Arya the Unseen]

"Well... I, uh..." The obviously surprised woman managed to get out. The was a slight blush on her face, but nothing major. "Thank you."

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"You're welcome." he nodded as he shifted himself, resting his back against the wall of the tower. He looked toward the sky, an eagle flew over head from the West, the direction that the Imperials were supposed to attack from. I wonder what Pointy-Ears is up to, probably getting drunk, again. He won't be satisfied until we're kicked out of all nine holds. The Sellsword chuckled at this thought.

[Arya the Unseen]

"I hope that furball of a Legate is with them..." Arya accidentally said out loud. "She pays good money if she trusts in your abilities..."

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Furball?" he asked, her spoken thought brought him back to reality. "A furball Legate, are you talking about S'kvari by any chance?"

[Arya the Unseen]

"Yeah. She's pulled me from the Stormcloak front before with an offer usually double what the Stormcloaks are paying me." She said with a smile. "Though, I doubt they send a Legate to attack a pitiful fort like this."

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Well, the thing about that Legate is that she's like me, a Dovahkiin." he informed her as he stood up. He didn't particularly want to kill S'kvari, she had not wronged him in anyway. In fact, he had helped her before. But if she was to interfere with his job, then she was to die.

[Arya the Unseen]

"Wow, really?" Arya said, eyes lighting up. "I wonder how she always comes up with so much money. She payed me 20,000 one time to abandon the Stormcloaks... that was 4 times what I was getting paid...

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

"Those Imperials get their money somehow," he shrugged, "I've had to do several things I'm not proud of just to earn a few coins."

[Arya the Unseen]

"Same here. Seems like I never have enough money..." She admitted with a smile. Then something caught her eye. Men on the horizen. Quite a few of them in fact. "About time they showed up."

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

He stood up and rested his weapon on his shoulder. "Everybody wake up, we've got company!" he called to the Nords around him, several of them ran up the tower, taking position to fire a volley, but it was too late, the Legion had already sent off theirs. The Stormcloak soldiers scurried for cover as the projectiles came closer. Wilhelm stood between the arrows and soldiers, he flipped his battleaxe upside down and pushed the edge into the ground. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Fus, Ro DAH!" The power of his Thu'um sent the incoming volley back at the legionnaires. He chuckled as he lifted his axe up and ran towards the confused Imperials. "C'mon boys, you wanna live forever, don't you?!"

[Arya the Unseen]

Arya smiled and headed up top so she could do one of the things she was best at. Shoot people. After raising her bow and aiming, she fired. The arrow went flying until it sunk itself inbetween the eyes of the brave soul that was charging toward Wilhelm. The poor soldier dropped dead right at the male Nord's feet. All the Stormcloak archers gave her a look of amazement, since they rarely ever hit anything with they're bows, and if they did it was in the knee. Arya just smiled and continued to pick them off.

[Wilhelm Bear-Heart]

The Dovahkiin shot Arya a smile before damn-near knocking an Imperial's head off with a full-body swing with his axe, causing the man to do a back-flip prior to smashing into the ground. An officer, in their nice shiny armor, rushed at him, only for him to thrust at his stomach. The armor did its job, but made the soldier bend over. Wilhelm changed his stance and brought the blade up into his face, sending him flying from the blow. Sometimes he didn't have room to swing his weapon, so he used his body, elbowing, punching, kicking, throwing, and headbutting his way to more space. An Imperial's sword was broken and so he drew his dagger and rushed the Dragonborn, only for him to be planted by a full-force downward swing from the Nord's battleaxe.

[Arya the Unseen]

Arya, noticing that Wilhelm had the swordsman well under control, started focusing her attention on the archers. Though she was sure that Wilhelm could handle them too, she was sure he would enjoy a reprieve in arrows being shot at him. It didn't take her long to to kill all of them, so she went to shooting the ones farthest from Wilhelm.
