 The Twins grew noticeably quiet as they listened to Serana's explanation of the strange purple portal, they had just stumbled across! "I had no idea that any of these were still in existence!" Serana exclaimed earnestly, to an interested Graykin. "Much less that they were still functioning!" She continued excitedly. "But according to the ancient texts I read, you could travel instantly to certain areas by activating one." "Hmm... " mused Graykin thoughtfully, "Well, how do you activate one and how do you pick a destination then?" His curiosity was stirred. "According to what I read, you simply had to touch one to activate it and it would then somehow make it clear where you could go!" Serana grinned at Graykin, picking up on his interest. Then she frowned and spoke, "Ah... there were some stories that occasionally something went wrong with the portal and..." here she hesitated and glanced meaningfully at Graykin, carefully winking at him so no one else noticed. "Yes? Go on, what would go wrong?" He responded, sounding appropriately concerned. "Yes Serana!" the Elder Twin blurted out, "For pity's sake, tell us!" as her sister vigorously shook her head in agreement! "Well... if the legends had any truth to them, people would sometimes arrive at their destination, with some of their parts all mixed up!" Serana announced with a relish! "You might have your eyes and ears switch places or even," here she lowered her voice dramatically, "appear with one of your arms sticking out of your Butt!". At this point, both Serana and Graykin collapsed on the ground helpless with laughter, as both Twins stood stunned and aware, they had been pranked! |

 Speaking to the Twins, Graykin asked them to put away their bows, as the humidity was high enough to affect them. "So, when we fight now, we'll be getting in close, OK?" He starred at them both intently. "Sure!" the Elder Vilja exclaimed, "We're not afraid of staring the enemies right in the eyes!", as they checked their weapons confidently! |

You know what I just noticed? In recent screenshots you've posted, everything is nearly gray-scale except for the forehead dots (gems?): those are high-saturation pure hues.  |

 Suddenly Serana stopped and with her acute hearing stated, "It sounds like a large pack of Werewolves is coming rapidly in our direction!" At which Sophia, in shock blurted out, "Wha.. what! No! Holy crap! Don't get me wrong, It's not that I'm scared of Werewolves, but for Odin's sake! Every time I get into a fight with them , I have to completely wash all my armor afterwards!" she sighed resignedly, "it's just the smell I can't stand!" Sophia moaned, as the rest of the group started to snicker a bit to themselves! "Oh no... And the fleas!" She sighed again! The Elder Twin spoke, looking directly at Graykin, "Do you think , if we moved slow enough, we could let them catch up to us?" she said hopefully. Graykin could only shake his head and chuckle to himself, "Perhaps, who knows? We may get lucky after all!" At which point the rest of the party, (except for Sophia of course  ) started to look much more cheerful! |

 Both Emma and her daughter have beautiful voices!   Even after 8 years of their company, I will still hear them say something new! (a perfect expression on her face also!)  The humor is usually right below the surface!  My favorite thing to do with the Twins! |

 Staring at the apparition as it suddenly landed before them, the Twins were momentarily frozen in surprise! "Fascinating... a Dwemer Dragon!" the Elder Vilja muttered under her breath, while the Younger Twin wasting no time in speculation, simply screamed, "You made a serious mistake dragon!" in a blind rage! Seconds later, the mechanical dragon was hit by an assortment of spells and weapons from everyone, to the degree that within a single minute, it was a smoldering ruin! |

@graykin Did you get Serana un-vampired? Actually, that was Serana's choice! I guess her relationship rank towards me was high enough to start that option? I did add her enhanced conversation mods also. |

 A bit concerned, a little confused and puzzled by the riddle Nela had just told them, the Twins and Serana were thinking furiously to themselves, trying to solve it! 'The creator is not communicating, The muse is missing, The motivation is malfunctioning, The magic is misty, The matrix is blue! [But then, Hope springs eternal! ] |

Yes, I feel their pain. As W.B. Yeats wrote
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

 So far, Summerset Island has lived up to it's reputation as a center of magic, way beyond what the Vilja Twins and companions had expected! On a floating island the view kept them in awe and even speechless, as they gazed out over the beautiful and mysterious landscape! |

 After acquiring a very nice manor house (including staff!) The Twins and friends, (yes they are actually considered family now!) have decided to take some much deserved time off and do absolutely nothing, for a while! As the Vilja sisters love to sing, they are serenading Serana and Sophia by the fireplace! 'The Blacksmith's Song'! " And if I were with my love... I'd live... forever "! |

 Meeting an attractive High Elf female at an outdoor bar, for information regarding a missing royal person, Graykin couldn't help but notice how closely observant the Twins and company were acting. While they were Trying to be unobtrusive about their behavior, it was completely apparent to everyone nearby! Graykin sighed thinking to himself of afterwards, just how he would be grilled without mercy by them all! |

I imagine you had to place everyone via in-game console or some such? |
