Release the Spirit

Where I returned to Whiterun, everyone had weapons drawn, and there were bodies in front of Jorrvaskr. When I entered Vilkas, came to me and demanded where I was. I told him of Kodlak's quest, and with sad eyes he told me that the Silver hand had attacked Jorrvaskr, and killed Kodlak. However I told him right after that I had discovered the last shard of Wuuthrad. I could see that despite Kodlak's demise, he was incredibly happy to know that the companions now have all the broken pieces to Wuuthrad. After Kodak's funeral the circle went into the under-forge to discuss the next step. I told them of my mission and the cure and we thought it might be possible to cleanse his spirit. Aela piped up, " but that would require Wuuthrad to be reforged". Just as she said that Eorlund Greymane, another of the distinguished companions came in, holding the ancient axe, reforged.

After the Funeral while we went to the under-forge Eorlund took the pieces and in the fires of the Sky Forge and with the ashes of Kodlak, he reforged the axe and it was ready to do battle again. The Circle agreed, it should be me to wield Wuuthrad into battle. So the next day we headed to the Tomb of Ysgamor, where the spirits of the companions were resting before being taken by Hircine.

Once we arrived at the tomb we all went inside weapons drawn. It was Vilkas Farkas Aela and myself, we moved through the tomb and from within coffins ghosts of long dead companions rose from them and attacked. We battled the Ethereal enemies and kept moving forward. As we came to an entrance, covered in webs it was assured that there were spiders guarding this tomb as well. Vilkas, admitted that spiders were where he drew the line, and told us that he would return to the entrance and guard the entrance. Farkas went with him to help. So Aela and I continued through and killed what spiders there were in the next chamber and entered the final room.  in the middle surrounded by coffins was a large stone torch. Standing in front of it was the spirit of Kodlak. He instructed us to burn the witches head and his wolf spirit would be separated from his human one. When the witches head began to burn and the spirit split it attacked us and we fought it till it had vanished. Kodlak was free to go to Sovingarde. As Aela was ready to leave I told her that I had a second head, that I wanted to cure myself.  So we burned the second head and my own spirit wolf attacked us and once it was defeated I felt the strain of Hircine's power leave me. It was done.
