Aura bangs on the door but there is no response. She tries to make her way to the exit of the Underforge but suddenly, the entrance to the Underforge is locked. Skjor and Aela begin to walk away from the scene. Aura immediately feels a sharp pain as it begins to travel down her throat. Skjor puts his dagger away and speaks to Aura “the blood calls sister.” Aura slowly walks up to the cauldron and takes a deep breath, scoops her hand into the blood, brings it up to her mouth and begins to drink it. Blood starts to leak from the wound and pools up into the cauldron directly in front of her. He grips his dagger and makes a small cut on Aela’s arm. He pulls out his dagger and slowly walks up to Aela. She is filled with fear but also a sense of determination. Aura let’s out a huge puff and stands up straight looking Skjor the eyes and says “I’m ready.” She’s made up her mind. She has dedicated most of her life to the companions since she joined up “Am I really going to do this?” She ponders. We will not force you.” Aura ponders more on what to do. “Are you prepared to join your spirit with the beast world friend?” Aura builds up her courage and asks “what if don’t want to become a werewolf?” Skjor quickly answers “that is your choice. Skjor is serious and finally asks one final question. “To reach the heights of the companions, you must join with us in the shared blood of the wolf.” Aura is completely frozen after hearing what Skjor has said. “So we take matters into our own hands.” Skjor continues. How can something that gives this kind of prowess be a curse? Aura can hear what Skjor is saying but is still in complete shock. ”We do this in secret because Kodlak is too busy trying to throw away this gift we’ve been granted. She’s agreed to be your forebear.” Aura’s eyes widened “Aela?! She’s agreed to be my what?!” Aura’s mind was racing. I would hope you recognise Aela, even in this form. You are due more honour than some calls and feasting. That pitiful ceremony does not befit warriors like us. It’s been a long time since we had a heart like yours among our numbers. Skjor approaches from Behind her and begins to speak. Aura is shocked when what comes into her vision is non other than a werewolf. Once the door is fully opened, the howl of a wolf can be heard from inside. “What is that?” Aura is becoming frightened. As she slowly opens the door, she can hear cracking sounds and growls and groans. Step inside when ready.” Aura hesitantly inches forward towards the door of the Underforge. “For you next step in joining the circle. “Prepared for what?” Aura says with some worry. Skjor immediately notices Aura and her presence. Aura approaches Skjor who’s waiting outside. Straight away she notices Aela entering a door shaped into the rock wall below the sky forge. Aura gets up out of bed and puts her armour back on before heading outside via the back door of Jorrvaskr. When Aura awakens she remembers Skjor mentioning about meeting at the Underforge. Aura decides that she has done enough adventuring for the day and returns to her quarters, removes her armour and lies down in her bed for a well needed sleep. That’s all I can say for now, we’ll speak later tonight.” Aura nods and walks away. It’s a door located underneath the sky forge. Aura was confused “The Underforge? Where is that?” Skjor in quick response says “oh right you’ve never been there. “Yes but not here, we will speak tonight at the Underforge” Skjor answers. Aura thought “something special? What could it be?” Aura wanders off to find Skjor in his quarters. He has something special planned for you. Instead of the same usual banter of a Jarl asking for the companions help, She responds with “Still eager to please. Soon after Aura asks Aela again “I’m looking for work”. After returning to Jorrvaskr, Aura approaches Aela for the reward of hunting down the bounty.
