I
had planned to stop in Riften no longer than to restock supplies and
tell the priests and priestesses at the temple of Mara that I had
completed another task for the divine, before making way on foot to
Ivarstead and then up the Throat to High Hrothgar, but I was given
another task from Mara, and to complete it I was handed an Amulet of
Mara. As soon as the amulet touched my hand, I had a realization. The
final task given by Mara was to help two dead lovers find each other
again in eternity. looking across the room at Mjoll, I realized that
I wanted to spend my eternity with her. I walked over to her where
she stood waiting for me, and put the amulet around my neck. Mjoll
accepted my proposal. Never have I felt so terrified and relieved and
excited all at once. We wed tomorrow. So recently I had no desire to
marry, but now I'm sure: I want to spend as much time as I can with
this woman. I love her.
Rather
than travel to High Hrothgar before meeting with Delphine, we will
say our vows tomorrow, celebrate our union, and then take the
carriage over night to Windhelm. Then, morning after next, we will
travel to Kynesgrove, we will learn if Delphine is correct, if the
dragons are rising from the dead, and I will prove my identity as the
Dragonborn to her. Then the following day we will meet with the
Graybeards and I will give them the Horn. For this reason Mjoll and I
will treat tonight as our wedding night.

We
were wed this morning. My heart beat so fast that I thought that it
would fly from my chest as I told Mjoll with more honesty than I have
ever mustered before, that I would stay by her side forever. Mjoll
promised the same, and I kissed her. We made plans for her to live in
Riverwood with me. Many of the people who we have helped throughout
Skyrim came by cart for the wedding, including Lucia, with Lydia at
her side. I apologized to Lucia for being away for so long, and
introduced her to her new mother. Then I kept my promise to the girl
and walked with her to Honor Hall Orphanage down the street and made
my adoption of her official in the eyes of the Empire.
Back
in the local inn, I promised the Argonian barkeepers to find the
gemstones that they need to make a traditional wedding ring, as they
have no money to buy the stones, or time to go out looking
themselves. Then Mjoll and I celebrated. We drank, fought, and made
love, and now we set out with Odvar, Barbas and Meeko still at our
sides for Windhelm, and the next leg of our journey. We should be in
Kynesgrove by noon tomorrow.
