Frostback Mountain lived up to its name quite literally as the chilly weather gave a frosty reception for Elissa and Honovi as they moved onwards to their destination. It was a quiet journey but luckily danger didn’t rear its ugly head, all was well and good however getting to Orzammar and out of the frost bitten weather was going to be even better. Young Elissa didn’t mind yet she was thinking about her dear friend Amity and how he fared against the cold, soon she smiled underneath the hood of her velvet green cloak as her eyes caught glimpses of a set of stairs leading upwards. Slowly she headed up the stairs alongside Amity who was actually faring quite well!
There her grin grew as she came upon a small encampment which sat just to the left and right of another group of stairs. Just above them was a large stone door while two dwarf guards was to the left and right of each other, as the weather eased a little Elissa pulled back her hood and sighed in relief. With a nod to Honovi she marched onwards past some more dwarfs and finally up the staircase to stand before the entrance to the home of the Dwarfs. Mixed feelings coursed in her mind as she looked forwards at the stone door, the teenage girl felt excited and curious at the same time.
Upon standing still one of the dwarfs scanned Elissa and Honovi with his beady eyes, while the other gripped his weapon tightly. But the one who looked at them spoke first in their traditional voice of focus and confidence. "Halt surface dwellers! None may enter the great city of Orzammar, especially you two. Begone from here!" Elissa simply couldn’t go back on her word and if she wanted to do something then she would do it, well almost.
With a look of respect to the dwarven guards she stood up straight, sighed and spoke out loud. "I am Elissa daughter to Bann Lenard and Bann Sophie of the Vuronia family in Amarathine! I seek to enter Orzammar to observe and understand Dwarven Culture and learn its proud history. This here is my friend and guard Honovi" She said as her eyes pointed over to Honovi.
Both dwarfs looked slightly stunned and quickly talked amongst themselves. This lasted only for a few minutes before they went back over to their guard positions and the spokes person or dwarf replied in a rather surprising. "You have travelled a long way and your words speak truly, however we must first ask. Do you have the sign of your family?" Elissa immediately nodded and gently took just a few steps up towards the guards.
There she pulled her arm out from underneath the folds of her velvet green velvet cloak and showed them a golden ring which clearly revealed the insignia of the Vuronia family. The dwarfs nodded to each other and once again spoke. "You are welcome to enter the great halls of Orzammar, your brother had set word that you were coming. Enter now" Slowly the doors opened widely revealing a square hallway leading into her destination.
Elissa pulled her arm back underneath her cloak and immediately looked towards Honovi and spoke in a rather disappointed and sad tone. "I guess this means your mission is complete".
