The Lost is Found.

I am driving home from another long and hard day at school and my mind is absolutely fuming with rage.

“I swear that kids don’t get what autism is and because of that they relentlessly bully me!” I shout out loud to myself. “If only they really knew who I was, that I could wipe them and all they love out without even trying they might actually leave me alone, or better yet respect me!”

My name is Chris Labrador and I am an 18 year old high school senior. My eyes are a crystal blue and my hair is a light dirty blonde color. I am Caucasian male standing about 5’4” with a stocky build, wide shoulders and powerful legs from holding up my heavy upper body. I am a normal teenage boy, but that statement it itself is not entirely true as there is something special about me that sets me apart from all the rest. It is not in my outward appearance but what is contained inside of me. Biologically speaking I have the same insides as a normal human, but it is my soul that sets me apart. For when I was born, God had blessed me with a great gift. I was born with the body of a mortal, but inside of me lies the soul of a demon prince, a dragon or Dov in the demon language. However, that was not the only thing that made me different as in I had inherited the power of the dragons as well…the power of the thuum. This is a great power that relies on the voice to manifest itself, a power that is unmatched by almost anything else. In the demon language I am known as being Dovakiin, but in are tongue it would translate to being…Dragonborn.

Quickly observing my face in the mirror I notice that it has turned blood red and my eyes are starting to turn an evil red and are glowing with pure hatred. Seeing this I quickly look back at the road and take a deep breath in and count to ten. After I exhale my breath the color in my face starts to return to normal and my eyes stop glowing red and return to their normal blue human blue color.

“No need to lose it now and use a shout, it could hurt me and others.” I say to myself sighing. “Oh but how I wish one day, I could ride Alduin to school and make everyone tremble in fear and Fus Ro Dah the front doors in then use the fear shout to drive all my tormentors crazy to the point they have to be put in the loony bin, man that would be great, but I know I can’t do that so I will just continue to live this for the rest of my time in high school.” I say while letting out another sigh. “I just can’t wait to get home, at least Alduin is my friend and he respects me.” Alduin, the massive blacked scaled dragon, head of all the Dov, the literal Devil in the flesh. His deep red eyes show that of unimaginable suffering and his wings are massive enough that when fully spread, can block the sun out over an entire city block and a thuum powerful enough to shatter entire armies and level entire cities. His very voice riddled with the sounds of Hell and damnation. From his head he sprouts 2 massive horns that curve back and then straighten out to face the back of his head that along with some spines that run across his head make it appear that he is wearing a crown of pure darkness. A very angry demon prince, his despise of humans was only rivaled by that of his hatred of The Divine Father…God. But yet despite all his hatred and want to damn all mankind and feast on their souls, me, his biggest enemy, the only one who could kill him and seal away his soul, he has now became close friends with and is one of the only things I know that would not relentlessly bully me.

...

After another 30 minutes of driving I pull into my ½ mile gravel drive way and notice the charred black bones of a 12 point buck. I stop for a second and laugh to myself.

“Guess Alduin was hungry, not easy to feed yourself when you are 5,000 pounds of scale, muscle, and powerful wings that are using to wondering the skies every day.” I say quietly before continuing up the driveway.

30 seconds later, I round a corner and come into a clearing with thick trees on both sides that extends another 500 feet were thee trees thin branch off in two directions. A large wooden Japanese style house sits on top of a small hill and the driveway winds off in two directions. The first leads to a circle with several large trees and a beautiful garden in the center. The other path goes to my parents’ small and big shed were we do a lot of the work around are land. Straight ahead of me is a wide open field that is bordered by trees and goes up to a massive open area with a huge berm that we use to shoot into. From there the path winds back down a hill into a swamp that dumps into a small river nearby. The land is rich and wonderful to the city person, but to me it is just everyday life. Pulling up the last few feet of the straight away, I turn my jacked up jeep into a rock circle and park in front of the walkway that leads up to the house. Turning the key I cut the jeep off and take off my seat belt and am just about to reach over across the seat to grab my backpack when my phone vibrates. I lean back over and pull out my phone to see that I have a new text message from my dad. It reads ‘mom is out of town with friends and I will be training new cadets at the courthouse until tomorrow afternoon there is food in the fridge love you.’ I quickly text back ‘thanks and I think that me and Alduin are going to flying, I will be careful.’ Then I push the power button and put my phone back in my pocket while grabbing my backpack and opening the driver side door before stepping out and shutting the door I then put my backpack on and start to head up a small slightly worn trail towards a field approximately 100 yards away. As I walk I can start to hear the faint sound of a dragon, but Alduin is nowhere in sight. Not wanting to go hunt for Alduin all over hells half acre, I instead use one of my shout to call to him.

“Al DU IN!” As soon as I finish the last word the sky around me distorts slightly and a loud boom echoes through the trees making them shake slightly and some leaves and branches to fall off. I continue to walk along the path through the field and notice that it is strangely quiet, a little too quiet. I stop in place and listen…nothing but the wind blowing through the trees. BOOM! I quickly whirl around to see Alduin flying about 400 feet off the ground in a hunting style flying pattern. His red eyes quickly find me and he starts to dive down at an angle at me. Immediately I take off running in a full on sprint in an effort to get to the center of the field where I would be able to evade him. However, quickly the thought dawned on me “Hey I am Dragonborn!” Stopping dead in my tracks, I turn back around and face the charging dragon. He is now roughly 10 seconds from impacting me and without even thinking I instinctively shout. “Fus Ro Da!” (Unrelenting Force!) A massive circle of blue emanates from in front of me and a colossal boom radiates out from my mouth as the dragon continues to fly straight at me. Upon the blue circle hitting him, he instantly is launched backwards and he lands on his back and skids 100 feet into a tree.

“You got to be a little more original than that if you want to ever beat me at these little games!” I shout at the now face up dragon. He groans slightly in pain as he struggles to get back to feet while knocking over the up rooted tree.

“You…are…foolish Dovahkin!” He says while struggling to get up to on his wings. I laugh hard at this statement. Now if any of the other dragons had said this to me I would have used the instant kill dragon shout on them and absorbed their soul for shits and grins, but with my friend Alduin things were a bit different. After a few seconds of struggling to get up, Alduin manages to roll to his side and then while groaning manages to get on his wings and back legs. He then unfolds his wings and shoots up into the sky and flies for a second and then lands in the middle of the field where the berm is. I quickly turn frontwards and run the rest of the way to the middle of the field where Alduin landed at.

“That was a good time huh?” I say brushing some dirt off of his right wing. Alduin snorts.

“Maybe for you, but for me it was very painful.” He says while shoving my slightly with his wing. I stumble backwards slightly and have to put a hand out to keep myself from falling on my back.

“Oh stop being a sore loser.” I say taking a verbal jab at him. Alduin then sighs and rests his head on the ground.

“Okay already, now tell me about your day Thuri.” Alduin says with interest. Walking over to where Alduin is, I sit down and lean against his wing.

“Well nothing much, the usual.” I then proceeded to tell him of all the bad things that happened and how people disrespected me and that I was getting fed up with the whole concept of ‘you have a developmental disability so let’s pick on you’ mentality that it seems all people have in high school. Alduin said his usual that they were lucky because if he ever found any of them he would kill them and devour there souls. We talked back and forth for about 30 minutes until I bring up an unusual topic. “Hey Alduin if I asked you a strange question would you not laugh at me?” Alduin simple laughs and gives me a stoic look.

“Zu'u los griindol ol wuth ol tiid niil meyar, ful ni pogaas hi vis saag tol Zu'u lost ni doraan.”(I am almost as old as time its self, so not much you can say that I have not heard.) This statement from Alduin calms me down and I give a slight smile. Even if Alduin is supposed to be this big bad demon prince who hates mankind and God, the truth is he’s one big softy.

“Thanks man, I knew I could trust you.” I say before taking a long look into Alduin’s eyes. . “I am feeling really lonely Alduin, as if my usual terrible existence could get better if I had a special someone, but I wonder if there is truthfully someone for everyone.” I say while still holding my gaze with Alduin. He then gets a strange look on his face and backs up slightly while clearing his throat.

“Thuri, were friends okay…but I do not like you like that.” My face instantly goes into one of surprise and confusion.

“No man that’s not what I mean!” I say with slight anger. “What I mean is that…I want someone, aka a girl to like me for who I am.” I say putting emphasis on the girl part. Alduin slightly relaxes in his posture and closes his eyes and sighs.

“I really have no experience in this area Chris, but I can tell you…the path of both the Dova and Dovahkiin are often paths of great power and glory, but most of the time you are by yourself because you either scare people like myself, or you function differently like yourself.”

“Yea I guess you’re right, thanks Alduin you really are a good friend.” Alduin gives the dragon equivalent of a smile and then turns around.

“Were are we to fly today Thuri?” I quickly run forward to where Alduin’s head is at and climb aboard just behind the back of his head.

“How about Hatteras.” I say to Alduin who then shakes his head and starts to flap his massive wings. Soon we are air born and circling around the field to make sure that his wings are functioning correctly and plan out the course so that we would not be spotted by any humans on are way there, the last thing either of us needing is to make the news. However as Alduin is making a pass over the berm my ears catch an interesting sound over top of the wind and Alduin’s roars. I know that sound from somewhere. Deciding that it was somewhat important I tap Alduin on the side of the side of the neck.

“Yes Thuri.” Alduin says with a concentrated voice. The weird sound has now grown in intensity and it is starting to sound like a chant of many men.

“Can you hear that?” I yell over the rush of the wind.

“No what is it?” He asks in a loud voice.

“Hover for a second then see if you can hear it.” I tell him and he immediately stops flying and hover over the middle of the field. The sound has now gotten even more intense and now I can clearly hear what sounds like many men with deep voices chanting. Alduin hears this and instantly his attention shift towards the west.

“That is a dragon wall, more specifically one with words of power and by the sound of the chanting it seems to have more than one, actually by the intensity there probably is 3 or more words on that wall, but that makes no sense.” Alduin pauses slightly. “The only one who can construct those are either the Dova, Daedra or Dovakin, and mine is in Hell and you have not built one so that means only one possible-” Alduin however is cut off by a loud roar coming from the same direction that of the chant. After hearing this roar we both exchange glances and quickly Alduin flaps his wings hard and rockets off in the direction of the sounds.

“What is going on Alduin?” I ask while trying to hold on to the rapidly flying dragon.

“Thuri, I don’t know but be prepared because I have a feeling we are walking into a fight.” I nod my head and place my Daedric helmet on and instantly the rest of my Daedric armor appears out of thin air on my body. Then I reach up to see if my Daedric great sword is on my back. When I feel the hilt I instantly start to think.

“Time to do what I do best…kick some ass!”
