The Wonders of Skyrim
Chapter 14 - Dragonrend
Previous ChapterWe continued our trek up the mountain, we soon found ourselves in a rock avalanche zone, but just as luck would have it, a few timberwolves were sleeping in our path. I held up my hands, one glue ice blue, the other a dark indigo. I used muffle first, than I turned invisible, Narsis followed suit, with muffle than he drank a potion. I took a few carefully placed steps, which is two times harder, because I was invisible.
Suddenly I bumped into Narsis, I fell backwards landing on one of the sleeping timberwolves, it yelped and jumped up snapping its maw where it thought I was. It was an inch off, I jumped to my feet, my body began to glow lavendar as the spell wore off, it was then that they all jumped up and the entire time we tried to sneak was practically worthless, I looked over my shoulder seeing Narsis become visible just then. I slid my katana out of its sheath, Narsis followed likewise, his Elven dagger now had a ice blue hue to it.
We charged, I shouted, "FAAS, RU. MAAR!" The wolves that were affecting began, prancing around, fear enveloped their minds, as the thu'um did it's work. Narsis lopped off a wolf's head, and I slashed at its leg, then I got a lucky hit in its neck. It dropped dead as soon as my sword left the wound. That left 4, they prowled around us, trying to flank us no doubt. I emitted my hand with a orange glow, fire began to cackle in my hand, it was almost begging to be release upon these wooden constructs.
I let loose a wall of flame, encasing two of the wolves, I watched in grim satisfaction as their bodies burnt to husks. I spun around to be met by, another wolf. It lunged and I rolled to the left, evading the blow, when it landed it swung its great neck towards me, I brought my blade down upon it's unknowing head. It was split into two, my ears caught the howl of a wolf, goddamn it are there more? My question was answered by another feral howl. I shouted, "MID, VUR, SHAAN!"
Our weapons glowed as they begun to lighten in weight, dramatically. The wolves came into sight, they were in the path we had to take to get to the top. I did a quick count, about 13, they charged and we held our ground, I began placing runes, and firewalls, along with lightningwalls. When they came running into the traps, they literally dropped from 13 to 2 in 5 seconds.
He took the one on the right, I got the left, after we slayed them we continued our walk upwards. It was then I noticed the ground had begun shaking, I mentally face palmed, we were still in the avalanche zone, I'm amazed we didn't set it off earlier. Rocks began to tumble down, along with boulders, "Narsis! RRRUUUUUNNNN!!!" I screamed. I didn't know if he was following me or not, because I ran like death was chasing me, heh, he may be. As suddenly as they started, the rocks stopped.
My feet stopped moving and I looked around for Narsis, I walked back intent on finding him, turns out he was just behind a boulder. "Hey, Jiques?" I looked over, "Yes?"
"How much farther do we need to go?"
I took a quick glance at the map, "Not very far, in fact we are almost to the top."
I saw his emotions turn from despair, to glee. Couldn't really blame him, I wanted to hurry up and get out of here fast too. The path rounded the mountain, and we soon found we had to jump across a small gap to continue on our way forward. We gave a little hop, it wasn't too large a gap, but if you weren't careful, you could fall down and die. I thought about it for a moment, wow that would be a very sad fate, falling down a small hole, only to go splat on the ground below. I shook my head trying to get these thoughts out of my head.
We finally reached the cave that was told to hold the dragon until the ponies Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity got it to leave. I never heard the whole story, but it was probably something I should look into. We reached the peak, the view was amazing, we could see for miles on end, if I reached up I could touch the clouds! Now that is amazing.
"Narsis, I'm going to need you to back up, I don't know what this might do to anyone in the vicinity." He obeyed and backed away a good 15 feet. I inhaled, than exhaled, and opened the scrolls. The same blue intricate web greeted me, except this time it didn't hurt so much, just a small pinprick of pain.
The world turned black, than orange, I was atop a mountain, I could hear a few people talking nearby, but they were interrupted by a landing dragon, they dispatched it quickly, they began asking each other, why hadn't Alduin come yet? But it was then he showed, his fierce some black hide, seemed to suck in all the light, one of the three, shouted at Alduin "Joor, Zah, Frul!" Alduin became encompassed in a blue glow, it almost seemed he was forced to land.
He screamed at the people, "What have you done? What twisted foul words have you made?" Alduin then took out one of the people, a female it seemed, and began attacking the Nord, leaving behind the old withered mage, he opened the scrolls, and began to chant. So this is what happened. The world turned dark once more, and I found myself back where I was, I closed the scrolls, and said "Narsis, I know what we have to do now..."
**************************
I felt glee building, we were finally going to attack! And I just couldn't wait to feel the crunch of bones, and flesh in my maw. The taste of the blood of my enemies. And last but not least, kill the one that slayed many of my kin, in fact I have no idea why he trusted me. Because, I wouldn't...
