Sif the Dragonborn
Summary: On her way home back to Whiterun after almost being killed, Sif meets Aela. A woman she finds herself incredibly drawn too but Sif's older brother doesn't want Sif near the Companions. After learning she's Dragonborn, she's hoping everything will change. Yuri/Femslash/Lesbian
Disclaimer: Skyrim does not belong to me. Sif, her brother Sifkni (who will go by Kni and yes Sifkni is a boy's name), Astrid, Fraki (Sifkni and Sif's father), Rostei (Sifkni and Sif's mother), and Viguri (Sifkni and Sif's baby brother) belong to me. However the whole Dragonborn stuff and anything related from Skyrim doesn't belong to me, that belongs to…well crap I can't remember who but it's not me.
NOTE: Sif isn't one race in this, she's half Nord and half Imperial cause I mean I don't see why who different races couldn't get married…hell somewhere down the line Sif will marry Aela who is a nord-werewolf lol.
Warning: Will have swears, gore (if I can actually write some detailed stuff lol), and lesbian stuff.
Don't like Lesbian stuff? Then leave now…
Chapter 1 - I just want my life to change
Sifkni always knew there was something different about his sister, Sif from the moment she was born. His young sister had been named after him, using the female version of his name but just getting rid of the Kni part but she acted nothing like him. His sister hardly talked unless she knew she could trust the person so she only spoke to him, their parents, and their younger brother. One year when Sif was ten, she had been out in the yard behind their house that was in the mountains when she came in saying she saw a Dragon, of course their parents didn't believe her…nobody has seen a dragon in years. Her parents not believing her made her cry and Sifkni did all he could to cheer her up…saying he believed her when he did. However that one loud roar that made them all freeze in their tracks told them other wise.
Their parents, Fraki and Rostei ordered Sifkni to get Sif out of the house while they ran back inside to get their younger brother Viguri who was still in their room. However moments before they got out the Dragon choose it wanted the house to be on fired. Their parents never made it out, forcing Sifkni to grow up early at the age of 13 to take care of his 10 year old sister, he had his girlfriend Astrid to help but Sif never trusted Astrid, so Sif never talked to her unless it was the younger girl yelling at her about something. They moved to Whiterun was Sif was 14 and Sifkni was 17 because him and his stupid girlfriend got married and her parents bought them a freaking house! How much could a young girl take?…enough to force her to run away at 19, trying to cross the border illegally to get out of Skyrim and only to get caught by the Imperial Guard who accused her of being a Stormcloak…she had no idea what a Stormcloak was!
They apparently didn't like her attitude and choose to know her ass out. She could remember it clearly cause when she stirred her head was throbbing and she knew why it was. "Ah, you're awake." said a voice making her open her golden yellow eyes. Some of her black hair stuck to her face from sweat and dew since it was early in the morning.
"Trying to illegally get into Skyrim huh?" asked another guy.
"I was trying to get out of Skyrim." she said. Her voice sounded raspy but that was because she hardly talked, she hadn't talked in four or five days since she ran away.
"Well you walked right into an Imperial ambush young lady. Same as us." said the first man from before who was a blonde Nord.
Sif just nodded and looked down at her tied hands. She knew who the people where, except one but the man in front of her was a Stormcloak and the man beside her was Ulfric Stormcloak, the leader. She heard the Nord talking to the Nord beside him, apparently the other man was a thief. She looked around and saw that Ulfric had a gag over his mouth making her sigh and look at her wrists. She then realized something that made sit straight up and look around widely.
"M-My stuff!" she said with her raspy voice.
"The Imperial's took your stuff little one." said the thief making her look at him with wide eyes.
"I…no!" she said making him look at her. "I need my stuff!"
"You don't need to worry about your stuff." said the thief. "Worry about if they're going to execute you or not!"
She went quiet and was twisting a hand trying to get the ropes loose and she groaned. She pressed her fists to her forehead before sighing heavily. She wished she didn't run away now, she wanted to go back home. "This is Helgen. Used to be sweet on a girl from here. Wonder if Vilod is still making that mead with the juniper berries mixed in." He laughed softly but more in a scoffing way. "Funny, when I was younger Imperial walls and towers used to make me feel safe."
The carriages came to a stop and she heard the Imperials yelling at them to get off. "When I call your name go up to the block!" shouted a man. "Ulfric Stormcloak!" The man with a gag walked over towards the execution block making Sif's eyes widen as she stared at it. "Ralof of Riverwood!" She watched him walk after Ulfric. "Lokir of Rorikstead!"
She watched the thief walked forward. "No I'm not a rebel! You can't do this!" he shouted before running off, hoping to escape.
"Archers!" shouted the female Imperial and she watched the arrows kill the man, his body hitting the ground making Sif's eyes widen in fear. "Anyone else feel like running?!" oh Sif had been planning to run but after watching Lokir…she choose not to.
"Wait." said the man. "You there…step forward." Sif swallowed and stepped forward until she was a couple feet away from him. "Who are you?"
She looked at him and said nothing making the woman glare at her. "Sif…Sif from Whiterun. Half Imperial, half Nord."
"Why tell us your race?" asked the woman.
"Just…felt I had too." whispered the younger girl.
"What do we do with her?" asked the man holding a list. "She's not on here."
"She goes to the block like everyone else!" snapped the woman.
Sif was standing in the small crowd of prisoners who where going to be executed and watched a man walk up telling the priestess woman to just stop talking and get it over with. Sif flinched as she watched the man's head get cut off making Ralof look at her. As the Imperial woman kicked the body over they heard a loud roar that echoed around them and Sif's eyes widened. That roar it sounded so…familiar. She saw everyone looking around wondering what the roar was but she had a feeling she knew that it was.
"Next up is Sif from Whiterun!"
Sif walked forward and stood in front of the block when the woman put her onto the block, she had her head turned as she looked up at the executor and the sky. Her eyes widened as she saw a Dragon flying towards them from behind the mountains. She saw the man raise his axe when the Dragon landed on the tower behind them and it roared making the Executor look, the Dragon sent out a powerful blast from his mouth sending people staggering backwards. She moved away from the block as she stared up at the Dragon and she realized it was the dragon that…killed her parents and younger brother. She ran towards it, she didn't know why but Ralof ran at her and grabbed her around the waist before running towards one of the other towers where people where running towards.
"Running towards a giant Dragon isn't smart!" he shouted before putting her down onto her feet.
As Ralof was talking to Ulfric, Sif was walking up the stairs of the tower when the dragon bust through the wall making her run backwards but her foot slipped off a stairs and she fell back down the stairs. Ralof was luckily right behind her and caught her as she fell. "Jump out of the hole into the house!" said Ralof as they walked to the hole.
"What?!" asked Sif with a shocked expression.
"I'll try and catch up! Just jump!" he said pushing on her and she jumped out the hole and caught a support beam of the house and swung herself down. She landed on her feet of the house and heard the Dragon roaring and people screaming. She ran across the floor and leaped down the ladder before running out and an Imperial caught her around the waist and yanked her out of the way as the Dragon let fire come out of his mouth.
"Still alive Prisoner?!" asked the Imperial from earlier. "Good! You want to stay that way follow me!" He ran and she ran after him. They jumped down behind a house and wall. "Stay against the wall!" He was right to say that because the Dragon landed on the wall and roared, it's fire coming out of it's mouth. The wing narrowly missed hitting Sif in the face.
They ran through the houses and out into the open when the Dragon came flying and roared. So much chaos, so much blood on the ground from wounded or dead people. She ran after the Imperial when the Dragon slammed onto the ground between her and him making her back up. The Dragon turned towards Sif, growling softly as it started at her before roaring and knocking her back onto her ass. It opened it's mouth to go and bite her but Ralof was faster, he grabbed Sif under the arms and pulled her with him towards the wooden doors which they went into.
"You alright?" he asked pulling a knife out and cutting the ropes around her wrists to free them.
"Y-Yeah thanks."
"Well your voice sounds better then when I first heard it."
"I don't talk much. I used to only speak to two people because I could trust them. I trust you, I trusted you the moment I saw you." she said.
"Nice to know." he said patting her shoulder when he held up a bag that made her smile.
"My stuff!" she grabbed it happily and hugged it.
"I found it by the carriages and grabbed it before it was lit on fire. I remembered what your bag looked like before the Imperials caught us."
"Nice thanks." she said putting the bag on her back.
The two where making their way through the tunnels, having to fight Imperials here and there and she found herself some armor which she took off an Imperial woman who Ralof killed. She pressed herself before they continued any further but she had to continue wearing no shoes because they didn't wear boots that fit her. She tightened the straps on the iron braces that where around her wrists and smiled at Ralof who chuckled. "So where you going to go?" he asked as they walked into a cave.
"Back to Whiterun. I suppose I worried my brother and his wife enough." she sighed.
After escaping from Helgen, Ralof brought Angel to his hometown of Riverwood and she was allowed to crash at his sister's house before leaving the next day and going home. She had a sword sheathed on her side and she heard running making her withdraw it. A man swung his sword at her making her swing her arm quickly and the tip of the sword sliced the man's throat and he fell down. She looked at the sword and sighed, so her brother's sword lessons came in handy after all. She crouched down and searched the man's body, she found twenty-five gold which she took and pocketed and also found a weird stone thing that had Dragon script on it but, after looking at it once she could read it.
"Here lie our Fallen Lords, Until power of Alduin revives." whispered Sif standing up and holding the stone in her hands. "Wait…how did I know what that meant?" She shook her head and put it into her bag before running off.
She was taking the road down to the few farm houses that where before Whiterun when she saw a Giant fighting three people. She took off running towards them and leaped over a fence. She pulled her sword out and cut the leg of the giant making him turn and she squeaked. Her eyes widened as she stared up at him and he swung his club at her but felt a hand grab her ankle and she was yanked onto the ground, the club racing over her face. She was yanked between the giant's legs towards the red haired woman who hoisted her up onto her feet and held her around the waist. Sif spun the sword around and threw it, the sword actually going into the Giant's head and he fell onto the ground dead.
"Nice work there." said the woman making Sif look at her. She had three thick dark green lines going down across her face at an angle. "We could use someone like you in the Companions." Sif said nothing as she stared at the woman. "Do you talk? I mean I heard you squeak and that was extremely adorable."
Sif's cheeks turned red making the red haired woman smirk. "Sister Aela you're making her blush!" laughed a Companion.
'Sif she saved you and she called your squeak adorable! Just talk!' thought the black haired half Nord, half Imperial.
"I talk…it's just…" started Sif before sighing and smiling at Aela. "Thank you."
"Do you know what the Companions are?" asked Aela.
"Yes. The Companions live in Whiterun in Jorrvaskr. I'm from Whiterun so I know who you people are."
"From Whiterun, eh?" asked Aela staring at Sif who looked at her and blushed again making Aela smile. "Come on I'll walk you home."
"Word of warning…" started the black haired girl. "My brother might blame you."
"For what?"
"I ran away about six or seven days ago." said Sif walking away from Aela.
Aela walked with Sif into Whiterun and followed her to one of the houses up by Dragonsreach. Sif went to open the door but stopped and sighed heavily making Aela look at her. Aela reached over her and knocked on the door making Sif look at her. After a few minutes a blonde woman opened the door and looked at Aela then Sif before sighing. "Is this yours?" asked the red head.
"This?" asked Sif.
"Shut up and stop being adorable." said Aela kissing her head making Sif smile.
"Kni! A Companion found your sister!" shouted the woman. Sif heard the way she said Companion, it was filled with disgust and she knew Aela would pick up on it too.
"Why did she say Companion with disgust?!" asked Aela.
"My brother and his wife think the Companions are…a bad group. Well not in the sense you kill people to kill people but in the sense that…"
"They're a bad influence." said a male walking up making Sif sigh heavily. "Where have you been young lady?!"
"Oh trying to get out Skyrim, got accused of being a Stormcloak rebel, was taken to Helgen, almost had my head chopped off until a Dragon came by and kill people. I escaped with a rebel named Ralof, stayed in Riverwood last night then came home today. Typical day Kni."
"Get inside!" he snapped before looking at Aela. "Stay away from her."
"Excuse me?!" snapped the red haired woman.
"My sister isn't one to fight. You Companions fight, all you do is fight! I want you to stay away from her!"
"She just helped us kill a Giant!" snapped the red haired Companion.
"What?!" snapped Kni looking at Sif.
"He used to be cool before he married Astrid." stated the black haired girl.
"HEY!" shouted Astrid, the blonde girl.
"It's true!" snapped Sif.
Kni went to shut the door when Aela put her body in the way. "What?" he snapped.
"Can I at least say good bye to her?" she asked making Kni sigh and walk away. Sif looked at Aela who moved hair out of the younger girl's face. "If you need me, you know where I am. Also, remember what I said. We could use someone like you in the Companions."
"Yeah I'll think about it." she said before Aela leaned over and kissed the girl's head. She then left Sif standing in the door way.
Sif dropped her bag onto her bed and grabbed the Dragonstone before heading towards the door. "And where are you going?"
"Dragonsreach. I was sent by Riverwood to let the Jarl know of the Dragon attack. Is that okay with you brother?" snapped the black haired girl.
"Watch the attitude." said Kni making Sif roll her golden yellow eyes.
"The Dragon that nearly killed me was the one that attacked our house." stated Sif making Kni stop and look at her. "It was going to eat me but Ralof, the Stormcloak rebel got me out of the way in time."
Sif left the house and was walking to Dragonsreach holding the Dragonstone in her right hand. She saw Aela talking with another Companion and the red head looked at her before winking and going inside the Companion headquarters with her Shield-Brother. Sif pushed the heavy wooden door open before walking into Dragonsreach. As she walked up the stairs she said the Jarl's House-Carl Irileth walking towards her with her hand on her sword. Irileth stopped however she saw who it was, Sif considered herself Irileth's friend even if the Dark Elf didn't see it that way.
"Sif I'm working."
"So I am…I guess. Riverwood has sent me because of the Helgen Dragon attack." said Sif making Irileth nod. She lead Sif over to the Jarl and Sif bowed her head a bit.
"What is it you need little one?" he asked making Sif look at Irileth.
"She doesn't like talking to people she doesn't know and trust all that well so she'll relay the message to me and I'll tell you." said Irileth making the Jarl nod. The Dark Elf walked to Sif who whispered in her ear. "She says, I come from Riverwood to tell you that they wish to have some help incase the Dragon that attacked Helgen decides to attack the town."
"A dragon?" asked the Jarl's assistant. "Don't be absurd!"
"I was there you ass!" spat Sif making them look at the black haired girl. "I was nearly eaten by the dragon!"
"Enough!" snapped the Jarl. "I will not sit by while this Dragon burns my villages and kills my people! Irileth, get some people together and send them to Riverwood."
"At once my Jarl." said Irileth before walking away from them.
"Also I have this." she said holding up the Dragonstone.
"Interesting. Take it to the Wizard Farengar. He's over in that room there." said the Jarl pointing.
So Sif did as asked and brought Farengar the Dragonstone which he took happily. After a while Irileth came running in telling Sif to come with her because a Dragon was attacking and she wanted to know if it was the same Dragon that attacked Helgen. She was running along side of Irileth towards the Watchtower that had been attacked, her hand on the handle of her sword the whole time. Once getting there Irileth ordered everyone to spread out and search for survivors so Sif was walking up towards the entrance of the Watchtower when she saw a soldier standing there shaking a bit in fear but before she could say anything to him he walked out of the tower and onto the broken path. He started shouting about how it wasn't safe and that it was still around the area when they all heard the roar from the Dragon.
Sif leaped down as the Dragon came flying at them and she dodged the Dragon's mouth. It's eye watching her the whole time it flew by her, it almost felt like everything had gone in slow motion for her. The Dragon slammed down onto the ground and roared before shooting fire out of it's mouth towards some soldiers. Sif ran over and stabbed it in it's eye with her steel dagger making it roar and shake it off, she smacked into Irileth making the two fall down. The Dragon brought a paw up and managed to get the dagger out of it's eye and Irileth shoved Sif off her.
The Dragon swung it's tail knocking the Dark Elf aside making Sif glare at it before running and leaping onto it's head. She flipped and landed on it's neck, she looked around as the Dragon thrashed around trying to get her off. She pulled her Sword out and stabbed it at the point where it's neck connected to the back of it's head and the Dragon roared before it's body slammed onto the ground making everyone look at her. She got herself off the Dragon as it started to disappear into fire, as she walked towards Irileth she froze as she felt something and colorful streams of light spun around her making her look at Irileth with a confused expression.
"She's Dragonborn!" shouted a soldier. "She absorbed the Dragon's soul!"
"Irileth…what did I do?" asked Sif towards the Dark Elf.
"Dragonborn or not! Sif killed the Dragon and a dead Dragon is a good Dragon in my opinion." stated Irileth trying to change the subject after seeing how uncomfortable the black haired girl was.
"A Dragonborn is someone who is born with the blood and soul of a Dragon." stated a Solider.
"What are you…" started Sif when she felt something. "Fus!" A blast came out of her mouth which threw her off balance and Irileth caught Sif under her arms to hold her up.
"Go home Sif." said the Dark Elf.
"Okay." said Sif before running off from the Soldiers and Irileth.
As Sif was walking up towards the gates that lead into Whiterun she heard a loud booming sound above her making her look up as she heard people speaking a language she didn't know. Her eyes looked at the sky as it sounded like multiple men but all she did was run through the gates and run towards home. She went inside the house and found her brother asleep with Astrid in her arms making her gag at the sight. She sat down at the table and wrote a letter for her brother before gathering her stuff and running out of the house to go up to Dragonsreach and tell the Jarl what happened, after words she knew where she was going. So once explaining to the Jarl what happened he told her that the loud noise she heard was the Greybeards summoning her to High Hrothgar.
She was walking towards Jorrvaskr, she pushed the door open as she reached the building. She saw Companions walking around and she looked around to see if Aela was anywhere around. The back door opened showing the red haired girl. "Aela!" shouted Sif making people look at her.
"Sif. What's up?" asked the red haired woman.
"I uh…"
"Ran away again?" asked the woman making Sif sigh and nod. "It's fine. I take it you came here because you want to be a Companion?" Sif nodded once more. "Alright go talk to Kodlak Whitemane. Then after that come to me unless he has you spar with someone first then come to me."
"Aela…what's is Dragonborn?" asked the black haired girl.
"Dragonborn?" asked the woman. "It's a mortal born with the soul and blood of a Dragon. They are said to be the ultimate Dragon Slayer, knowing where the weak spots are and being able to absorb the soul of a Dragon. They speak the language of a Dragon though shouts."
"Thu'um." added Sif making Aela look at her. "I um…I have to show you something."
"Alright lets go to my room and talk. Kodlak is down stairs so we'll stop at my room first." she said taking Sif's hand and leading her.
Aela took Sif's bag once they reached Aela's bedroom and she set the bag down before shutting the door behind them. "I asked you about the Dragonborn because…" whispered the younger girl. "Mm…"
"Just tell me."
"I…" started Sif when she inhaled before closing her eyes and thinking. "Fus!" The blast came out of her mouth and actually staggered Aela who stared at her with wide eyes. "I absorbed the Dragon's soul."
"Don't tell Kodlak." said Aela grabbing Sif's arms and looking at her. "He'll automatically accept you. Keep it hidden until he sees you doing that shout or absorbing a dragon's soul."
"Okay." answered Sif.
So Aela introduced Sif to Kodlak who said Sif looked like she had fire in her heart but had been sheltered most of her life which was true. He had Vilkas spar against Sif who ended up knocking the older man onto his ass with her fighting skills, which she had learned from her brother at a young age even if she never really used it before the events of Helgen. Kodlak said that Sif was to be a new Whelp, which she smiled about cause she was apart of the Companions in a way until she was given her trial. When Farkas was showing her to the room where the new recruits slept Aela caught up to them and wrapped an arm around her waist. She glared at one of the recruits who seemed to be annoyed that Sif was a new recruit but the woman never said anything .
"Hey Aela…" said Sif making the red haired woman look at the girl sitting on the bed. "Will you come to High Hrothgar with me?"
"High Hrothgar…why?"
"The Greybeards summoned me." whispered the younger girl so only Aela heard. "I don't want to go by myself."
"Alright alright, we'll go tomorrow morning. How's that?" asked Aela making Sif nod with a smile. "Go to sleep." she pushed Sif down onto the bed making the younger girl laugh.
"Night Aela."
"Night little one."
