Dragonborn: The Legacy 30 – All Grown Up

Chapter 30 - Ben and Selene 45E 20, 26 Sun’s Height
Ben took the time to enchant a black hood to give himself some protection from the sun; and he, Rowan, and their parents set out for Riften the next day. Since Odahviing couldn’t carry four people, Selene and Brynjolf borrowed horses. Ben teased his father, who was in his mid-fifties, about such a long journey on horseback.

“Are you sure your bones can handle the ride, old man?”

Dragonborn: The Legacy 29 – Nocturnal’s Demand

Chapter 29 - Selene, Brynjolf and Karliah5E 20, 21 Sun’s Height

Dragonborns with Fangs Eleven – Free for All

“I’ve got these guys,” Selene told Blanche, sensing a drastic change in her scent. “You take care of her. Mul qah diiv!” She was instantly covered in orange and blue light that took the form of dragon scale armor around her body, and she drew another arrow and waited for the next group to come out of the dorm.

Five of them filed out, and Selene shot the first one as she tried to ignore the urgent, low tone of Blanche’s voice behind her as she poured out a flurry of words.  But the scent of the dark-haired woman she spoke to was off, and she wrinkled her brow. “Hey, is she a—what on Nirn is she doing with the Dawnguard?”
