(Somewhere deep in Wolk's mind)
POV: Wolk
I never realised that being asleep in your mind could feel so peaceful. Well it was peaceful until my head started to hurt and I couldn't find Alduin anywhere inside my head. I was standing in front of Akatosh when I felt something wasn't right at all, I quickly turned towards Akatosh and asked "Where is Alduin and why isn't he here with you?"
"What do you expect of me, I only pop up when you are here in your head. The same cannot be said for Alduin who is able to roam around inside your head."
Before I could say anything else my head felt like it had a migraine. I shook my head to try to get rid of the pain but it just kept hurting. I turned to Akatosh and asked "Do you know why I'm having a headache?"
"I don't know......it might be Alduin, I haven't seen him. The last time I talked to that worm was when you were asleep."
I growled a little as I took off and began to fly around. I grunted as the pain increased as I continued to fly around the void that was my mind. I felt his presence but I also felt the presence of other creatures. I also noticed that my surroundings were starting to change. I looked up and when I saw the sky I immediately recognized where I was.
I was in Sovngarde and I flew as fast as I could to where Alduin was. But I felt a great amount power in the direction I was flying in. I knew something was fighting Alduin, and whatever was fighting him was causing the head pain.

POV: Spike
Needless to say things weren't going as well as I hoped it would be. All of us except Fluttershy were trying to hurt Alduin. But it looked like we weren't doing any damage to Alduin. I was making my way over to Twilight who got knocked down by Alduins fire breathe. Well I was trying my best anyway, it didn't help that I was his target.
"Stand still you little pest!!!"
I replied saying "I'd rather not get hit thank you!" I noticed a smirk on his face as he swung his tail at me. I wasn't able to duck in time and his tail smacked me right in the face. I'm pretty sure that I felt something broke when it connected with my face. I held my paw up to my face and wiped right underneath my nose. I noticed a little bit of blood but nothing to serious.
I saw Rainbow try to hit him but Alduin just swatted her away like a bug. I noticed that his gaze was fixed upon me and I felt the same chill I felt earlier go down my spine. He smiled a little at me and said "You fight bravely for a dragon your size, but you could be so much stronger if you left these ponies.... "
This time it was my turn to laugh, he seemed a bit surprised by that. I replied saying "I may be treated not as fairly as them but I would never join an evil being such as yourself. I saw the conversation that Wolk was having with Paarthurnax. He said that you just use others for your own gain, so in short I will never join the likes of you."
"Such a shame you would've been a great asset to me. But I do admire your loyalty and bravery, to bad it is put to waste on these ponies." I saw him getting ready to use his fire breathe on me. Just as he was about to fire I heard a shout come from above me.

(Third Person)
FUS RO DAH.
The shout slammed into Alduin as Wolk landed on the ground. Alduin staggered a little and the two dragons locked eyes.
Alduin's serpent smile began to creep onto his face. Alduin and Wolkiimrel began to walk in a circle opposite of each other.
Alduin spoke first "I was wondering when you would show up. I thought you were going to cower away in your own head."
Wolk replied but his voice was deeper then it was before. "I will not cower away because you think you are strong. Need I remind you that you are in my mind."
Wolk stopped moving and Alduin stopped along with him. They both quickly flew up into the air all the while the others were regrouping. Twilight was rushing over with the others behind her. "Spike are you okay!" She was checking all over Spike's body.
Spike replied saying "I'm fine Twilight just a bit sore and there's a little pain around my nose."
While Twilight was checking on Spike the others all gathered around. "We need to leave his mind immediately, we aren't safe here." Luna said with some reluctance.
"What?! Why! We need to help Wolk and help defeat Alduin." Rainbow of course wanted to stay and help.
However Celestia spoke up "We will only get in his way. I have confidence that Wolk will beat Alduin, we weren't able to do any damage to Alduin."
She turned back to watch the fight overhead and said "Wolk has dealt with dragons before he has more experience with his kind thanks any of us do." Reluctantly they all agreed and Luna began to pull them out of Wolks mind.
During all of that the two dragons were taking shots at each other. Wolk used his ice breathe while Alduin countered with his flame breathe. Both of the dragon's elements slammed into each other and they both increased the intensity of their attacks.
They were both locked in a contest of who could last longer. Alduin began to overpower Wolk and Alduin's fire breathe smashed into Wolk. Wolk was pushed back by the blast all the while trying to stay in the air.
Wolk managed to shake off most of the damage but it still hurt him. Alduin began to taunt "I honestly thought you would put up more of a fight, I am disappointed on how weak you have become."Wolk flew up to Alduins height, exhausted from fighting Discord and Alduin. Despite being tired Wolk was still ready to fight Alduin.
Wolk fired back at Alduin saying "After all this time you still forgot how persistent I am. Believe me I was more than disappointed when I didn't get to kill you myself and now I actually have a chance to off you myself!"
Alduin only glared at Wolk and said "You are only deceiving yourself, you and those ponies that are your call 'friends' will die just like you."
Wolk was tired with all the talking and used one of his shouts. Wolk put all of his remaining power into the shout and distanced himself from Alduin.
STRUN BAH QO
With that shout Wolk retreated a little to get some breathing room.

POV: Wolkiimrel
I can't keep fighting like this, I'm already sore from fighting. I know it is a cowardly thing to do but retreat might be my only option. Just as I was about to retreat I heard Akatosh in my head.
"Wolk, I know a way you can defeat Alduin." The storm I created was about to run out, I looked back to see Alduin dodging lightning.
I sighed as I said "Okay tell me because I am out of ideas and I dont think I can keep fighting for much longer."
"There is a way we can seal off Alduin, but it won't be easy to do...…."
I felt my power slowly leaving my body and my voice returned to normal. "I don't care at this rate I just want to get through this alive and with Alduin gone."
"We can seal him off if I can send his soul elsewhere."
I grew confused and asked "What do you mean? Explain quickly because my Storm Call is about to run out."
"I'll be there to help you in a bit, but I need you to get him to be in one place. If we do this right I should be able to send him to some other realm."
I looked back and watched as my shout disappeared and said "Alright let's do it! How long do I have to hold him off for?"
"Hold him off for just a minute, I'm almost there just hold him off till I get there."
Realizing I had nothing to lose I agreed with the plan and I flew up into the air. I yelled out to get Alduins attention, "Hey Alduin!"
Alduin glared up at me and said "There you are you coward come down here and fight me!!!"
I made a fake yawn and said "Why would I come down from here and fight a dragon that lost to a bunch of nords." I could notice him getting angrier, he tried to attack me but I kept avoiding his attack. I just kept avoiding and each time I did he seems to get angrier. We were flying all over the place, I built up enough energy to use a shout on him. I turned around and slowed my flying speed and waited for him to get in range.
FUS RO DAH
The shout hit him but he didn't hit the ground and I didn't want to do another shout. I was trying to think of a plan until I heard Akatoshs voice.
"Okay Wolk I'm ready! Get him on the ground and I'll send him to another realm."
I was somewhat skeptical and asked "Will he do anything there, I don't want to be the reason some other beings in another realm get killed."
I assure you the place I am sending him, he won't be able to hurt another living being.
I regained my focus and I began to try to get Alduin on the ground. I flew straight down at a very high speed, I almost though I wasn't going to be able to pull up in time. I slowed myself down as I was nearing the ground. Alduin landed not to far away from me and the look on his face was just pure anger.
"No where to run now Wolk, this is where your story ends!" I just smirked as he charged at me, with my remaining strength I moved out of the way. When I dodged his attack he hit the rocky wall behind me. I quickly got behind and prepared a shout to help keep him pinned to the wall.
FO KRAH DIIN
The ice shout hit Alduin's wings and it froze the wing to the wall. Just for safe measure I hit him with my tail to make sure that he stayed down.
I was about to hit him again, but Akatosh showed up in front of me and was glaring at Alduin. I took this as time to regain my strength incase Alduin gets up again. "Alduin you never really learn do you? I should have done this when I first saw you here. You will never be able to rule, you weren't even suppose to be alive now."
I decided to speak up before either one of them could say anything. "Hey sorry to interrupt but can we get rid of Alduin. I mean he won't stay like this forever if we stand around." I turned back to see Alduin glaring at me and it put a smile on my face.
Akatosh then sighed and said "Yes I do suppose that we should rid this realm of him...…………..You may want to step back.
I was curious so I asked "Wait, if his soul is in my body will it do anything to me."
It may wake you up, but I know for sure that this will hurt. After all getting a soul ripped out of your body hurts. I didn't want to question how he knows what that feels like but I just waited behind him.
Akatosh then turned back to Alduin and they both began to glow. I was surprised when Alduin didn't say anything at first but he spoke. "You better watch yourself Wolk, I may have not been able to defeat you but if I couldn't do it then someone else will..... Before I could reply to him my everything went white and the next thing I know is that it is dark.

POV: Wolkiimrel
Again I was sitting in a void, after waiting a minute I could hear a voice "......Wolk!Wolk! Are you alright?Wolk can you hear me?"
I opened my eyes a little bit before my vision and hearing came to. I was awake and noticed that the Elements, both princess and Spike were looking at me. Before I could do anything, I felt a sharp pain all over my body. I had to power through the pain and I didn't want to make all of them worry about me so I just powered through it and tried to hide the pain I was in.
I noticed Spike was standing on my snout, I said to him "Spike if you could kindly remove yourself from my face that would be appreciated."
He immediately got off of me and said "Sorry about that I saw you move and I went to see if you were awake." I was able to get up and before I knew it all of my mobility came back.
I heard Celestia ask "Wolk what happened to Alduin?"
"He wont be bothering us princess, Akatosh moved him to somewhere where he wont be able to hurt anybody here." I saw all of them relax when I said that. I began to look over my body for injuries and sure enough there were a few scars from the fight.
I noticed that Luna had walked up to me and said "As much as we want to talk about this mess we must return to Canterlot. Are you going to come with us?"
I shook my head in reply and said "If you don't mind I would like to stay here for a bit."
Celestia replied before Luna could "That is fine, I guess while you are down here we will discuss with the nobles all that has happened and we will see what happens from there." At this point I noticed that Pinkie was missing and I didn't want to question it.
I turned my head over to Twilight who had paper and a huge smile on her face. Needless to say I knew what was coming but I couldn't fly due to my wings being sore. I sighed and put my head down on the ground, I knew all of them had questions for me, but for now I just laid down and waited for the questions to be asked.

POV: ????????
I watched as the dragon began to talk to the elements. I slipped a little and I noticed that the dragon looked my way. Luckily for me the bush I was hiding in was thick enough for me to be hidden. I decided now would be a good time to report back to the queen. I slowly crept away from them and sprinted back into the forest...…..
