The Rise of Miraak
By: Miraak Dragonblood
He was once one of them, a dragon priest, he ruled here in their name, ruled over Solstheim, but he did not serve the dragons, he devoured them and like them he seeks to return. He was the first … Dragonborn
The realm of Apocrypha, a place filled with nothing but knowledge and danger, otherwise known as my prison. My name is Miraak; I was banished to this place to serve my master after I lost everything in the mortal life. I lost my kingdom, my respect, my love, and my power. The only being that I have for company here is my master hermaeus mora. I can complain thought because he was the one that spared my life by bring me to this place. I walk through the many hallways made up of endless black books. The knowledge in the books could range from a cooking recipe to the key for immortal life. I let out a long breath as I picked up a random book off of the ground. I found a bench and started to read. The book intrigued me, I described how the dedric princes received there immortality. Each prince was created using a black dedra heart, compared to the normal red ones. I put the book down and got up, that knowledge does me a lot of good now. Considering there were not dedra around here and the chases for stumbling across one in this place were none. I gave a short bark of humourless laughter and kept walking. I needed to find a way out of this place and back to the mortal world. I need to regain my power so I can regain and free my kingdom of Solstheim from the dragons. That was my land to rule and they think that because I did not want to serve them any longer they can take that away from me. Then they send another priest to take my place. That is my kingdom and I will not see it in the hands of someone else.
I continued walking until I hit a dead end. Sitting up against the wall was a pedestal with a massive black book on it. This book felt different than the others, this one radiated power. I carefully opened the books and immediately black tentacles shot out and wrapped around my neck and chest, pulling me into the book. I saw nothing but darkness, but then the voice of my master sounded from all around me. My servant, he said, I have seen fit to allow you to change your fate. I am sending you back to the time were you still served the dragons. Use the knowledge from your past experiences with them and the knowledge that you have learned in my realm to accomplish what your heart desires over all. Use this to gain the power you seek to save the one you love. Go now and remember that knowledge and memory are the keys to achieving what you seek. I wish you luck with your up and coming journey, and with that the darkness around me seamed to fade as lines of colour come rushing by. I felt a flash of nausea and a spike of pain. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself kneeling in front of a large stone platform with six reptilian eyes watching me.
