Prologue
"NOOO!" yelled a woman as she awoke from her sleep. A nightmare plagued her mind for the past few weeks now. Every time the same one, always awaking in cold sweat despite the cold whether of Skyrim, but that was the curse she bore. She is the seer of the Monks of Samio a mountain temple on a continent distant from Tamriel and north of Akavir. She had many dreams some clear and to the point others shrouded in deep mystery, but this dream was beyond clear and brought terror into her heart. She saw people waging war against a mighty dark dragon. Its wings darken the skies of nirn, fire fell from the skies destroying many a city. Men and women both mer and man fought to vanquish the dragon but all fell before the power of its voice. As she began to remember the dream streams of tears fell from her eyes as she heard the voices of the fallen. It wasn't a voice of pain and suffering, no. It was the sound of hope as the dragon continued to burn away their lives.' Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin,
Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal!
Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan,
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!
The louder they song the more angrier the dragon became until the darkness he casts over shadowed the world. The grief she felt in her chest was great, even unto death but then." Dovahkiin…Dovahkiin…naal ok zin los..vahriin…" she began to whisper into the wind." Wah dein yoku mahfaeraak abst vaal…" she lightly began to sing as to not wake her sleeping companions around her." Ahrik fin norol zaa; graan fod nus thon zondro zaan…Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal.." she finished then she she suddenly felt the wind pick up outside her tent. She timidly got up from the wrapping of the blankets exited the warm sanctuary, for reasons unknown to even her. The wind picked up again, but it had an echo to it. It's the same song from her dream, the same song she just finished singing. 'have the Thalmor found us?' she worried in her mind sense the Thalmore have been trying to wipe them out sense the monks introduce themselves to Tamreal. She felt herself drawn to the music as it called out to her from the forests. She seemed to fall into a trance as she stumbled blindly into the forest searching for the source of the songs, but suddenly she fell into a hole near the center of the forest. She was covered in snow all the only light she could see was the light of the moon from the hole in which she fell in. then she saw it. A giant statue of a man in armor or atleast only its top half. Its lower half seemed buried in ice and snow. It came much to a shock to her that the eyes of the statue began to glow bright, then out of nothingness a bright light shined illuminating the dark revealing a bright figure who pointed at her." Be at peace Freya child of mankind for you have found favor in my sight." The bright figure said."
"Who are you?" Freya asked timidly shrinking at such a sight." I am Amon…elder God of the worlds before Nirn, and I have found you favorable in my sight." The figure then moved from the light revealing the same man the statue depicts. Her mind seemed to calm though her heart felt like it was going to burst from her chest." What have I done to earn such an honor."
"I have heard your prayers this night after the dream of the end plagued your mind. It is true..Alduin's return is nigh…" with that said she lowered her eyes in sorrow, the end of the world was upon them." Take heart.." he said as he lifted her head gently." For I shall give you a bless child…and you shall call him Aramis. He will live, he will love, he will hate, and he shall be a paragon among men and manifestation of victory." As he said this he placed a gentle kiss upon her lips, she then found herself just outside of camp in wonder in what just happen. She walked back to he tent shaken to her legs as laid back down on the fur blankets. She then gently passed her hand on her abdomen and began to hum the song of the Dovahkiin.
(9 months later in Atherius)
In a bright room filled with many thrones one stood out amongst the others a great white throne with a giant statue sitting behind it. Several beings suddenly appeared to there thrones in a bright light." What is the meaning of this Talos!" said the one who sat on the great white throne." Why have you summoned us?" He continued to the man in the throne just across from his own." I was summoned just like yourself Akatosh." Talos replied stroking the hair on his chin in thought." If not you then who? Arkay?" Akatosh asked as he stood from his throne to look upon the rest of the 9 before him." It was not I." Arkay replied as Julianos stood up as well." I don't believe it was any of us that summoned this meeting my lord Akatosh."
"It was I…" said a voice before a bright light appeared in the center of the room. In both shock and awe all the aadra in the room feel from their thrones and bowed their heads all except Arkay and Talos who looked confused." Bow you fools! You stand before our elders! The children of Anu and Nirn!" Debella said from across the room, which at first caused a look of indifference on both their faces before they bowed reluctantly." Ah Talos God of war and hero's we meet at last and you Arkay keeper of souls keeper of life and death." Amon said as he stepped from the light." Brother Amon…I thought you and the twelve were in your eternal slumber. It is good to see you." Akatosh said rises up and shakes Amons hand." Akatosh, my brother it is good to see you though only if it's a short while.." Amon said turned to a crystal globe model of Nirn floating just above them." Why have you summoned us brother?" Akatosh said as the rest of the 9 stood to their feet." The time has come Akatosh…" suddenly the look of dread crossed Akatosh face." No not this again." He gritted his teeth in anger turning to his throne." Akatosh…" Amon said sternly." Don't you start! I will not kill my own son!" Akatosh spat with venom as the room grew silent over the tension." Alduin has brought this on himself, if he is not stopped all that our father Anu and our mother Nirn-"
"Your Mother!" Akatosh interrupted." Do you know what its like Amon? Hmm?" Akatosh began." DO you know what is like being born of conflict between two brothers. Then having my closest friends die to save what was left of that conflict. For beings that are at constant war with one another wishing to wipeout the others race? Then suddenly you come and tell me I should kill my first born son for them?! You have a lot of nerve Amon." Akatosh said looking Amon straight in the eyes." If you do not Alduin will destroy all Nirn, your friends would have died for nothing and he wont stop there no…He will go to oblivion and devour the souls of the Deadra then he will come here and destroy all of you for your aid in his banishment." Amon words sunk in as the divines began to chatter amongst themselves. Talos was the first to speak out." Akatosh I cannot sit and watch Alduin destroy all of creation. Anu would not want this. His father the ALL MAKER would not stand for it!"
"Do you pretend to know the mind of the All MAKER Talos?!" Akatosh contested as they both now stood toe to toe ready for a fight." Enough!" Amons voice shook the room." Akatosh when you came into being we charged you in not only the ruling of the 9 divines in the protection of the realm of mundus and plain of Nirn…" Amon walked pointed an area on the model of Nirn." There now a child shall be born with the blessing of the stars. My only son." Akatosh then looked at him in shock." You would put your son in such danger?"
"I must do what know is to be right. Though I do not do so lightly. I understand why you are hesitant to raise your hand in this matter brother. But for the good of Nirn we must do what is necessary…that is our charge. Our DUTY." Amon said placing his hand over the spot as his hand glowed bright over the area of Nirn." I Amon Elder God of the twelve realms. God of Righteousness', and victory do bless this child before Anu and the ALL MAKER." The rest stared on as Talos placed his hand over Amons as his hand began to glow as well." I Talos, God of war and hero's do bless this child before Anu and the ALL MAKER." Arkay fallowed then Stendarr, fallowed by Julianos, Debella fallowed hesitantly behind Zenithar." Why must I? Why should I? For them?" Akatosh tighten his fist in anger until Mara placed her hands with the others." Mara…?" He was shocked his own wife Goddess of Compassion assists in the destruction of her son." Our son chooses a path of destruction and cruel rule…the path of Sithis. It is merciful to not only them but to Alduin. For I cannot bare to watch my son continue on as the monster he is." Mara said before her hand began to glow as well. Akatosh slowly walked next to her wrapping his arms around her to comfort her." I understand…" he said placing his hand over hers." I Akatosh chief of the nine divines soul of Anu, do bless this child before Anu and the ALL MAKER…and do greant him my blood…Rise form birth in the image of man but born of Dragon blood. I dub thee…DRAGONBORN!" A light shined unto nirn like never before as the sound of the first cries of a child is heard throughout the room." Amon..my brother how do you know he can stop him? If he fails?" Akatosh began but was met with Amons determination." He wont.."
