I do not own Skyrim, I do however own Greenalda, The Castle, The Vault, The Bloodling Vampires, The Healers and The Fire Spell that destroyed the Castle.
"Go, Lydia, go!" I said as I was running towards the bedroom to grab my personal armour and weapons. "Get the kids and leave Lydia, now!"
"But my King, what about you? What will Skyrim do with out its High King?" Lydia, my wife asked.
"Skyrim can go with out a High King for a bit of time again Lydia, but if you don't get the children and yourself out of here right now, you won't be able to take my throne as replacement, now leave!" I yelled to try and get her out.
"Okay, but when this is all over, I will come and get you back, my Love." Lydia, High Queen of Skyrim, said to me.
"Thank you my Love, but please get the kids and run." I told her as I strapped on the last of my Daedric Armour and grabbed my two swords, bow and arrows.
As I walked to the stables to get my long time friend and head to the Preservation Vault to trap the remaining Thalmore and myself inside to save Skyrim, I looked out the window to see the Royal Carriage hurriedly make the right turn down the hill towards the Imperial Boat to take Lydia and our little boy and girl to safety. After getting my two Daedric Swords strapped on with the Daedric Arrows at my back and Daedric Bow in hand, I pushed open the large ornate stable doors. Seeing that the stable hand, a young female Orc that I saved from both a dragon and Forsworn attack, Greenalda, had Shadowmere saddled and ready to go.
"Thank you, Greenalda." I said courteously, "As of now, your debt that you insisted to repay, is settled."
"Thank you King bloodkin, however I will stay and defend the castle with the rest of the staff and guard." Greenalda answered with a bow.
"Greenalda, no one will blame you for leaving the castle to live, Orc Chieftains now know how deadly the Thalmor truly are. Please, I insist that you get to safety, remember, Orcs are highly susceptible to magic." I warned her.
"Yes, I know we are weak to magic, but with the help from the Huntress, I have learned how to hide and jump for an ambush." Greenalda said with a bit of sternness.
"I see Aela also taught you how to but heads like her, okay keep yourself hidden until the last Thalmor walk past you, then strike. I know how Aela used to fight, she always was impatient." I said with sadness in the last part at the remembrance of Aela The Huntress's body when I saw her at the Temple of Akatosh.
*flashback*
Aela, Farkas, Vilkas and two other Companions went on a raid on the very last Silver Hand Fortress, I was planning to go, but when Karliah came to me and said something was wrong, my plans changed. After I got done talking to Nocturnal and convinced her to let me move her portal to my Preservation Vault to protect the Skeleton Key, I came back to a castle in chaos. Upon getting the report from a guard, I found out that the Silver Hand Fortress had been taken over by twenty creatures of a different species, the Companions had no chance in winning. Aela fired an arrow at what she thought was an oblivious Silver Hand, only to hit and luckily kill one of the creatures. The report went on to say that they quickly found out it wasn't Silver Hand but vampires, ancient and powerful vampires called Bloodlings, when the nineteen left swarmed, the five companions made a retreat with Aela in the back as she was the best archer. After being chased thirty-two kilometers, the nine vampires left, turned around and went back. Farkas stayed back with the two Companions as they refilled the water canteens so Vilkas could go werewolf and carry Aela to the nearest Hold, Winterhold.
The only healing mage at the collage, Colette Marence, could only sustain Aela as they went to my kingdom, two hundred forty-one kilometers away. Upon admittance in the Temple of Akatosh's special ward, where all the top of the top healers are and know all the secrets of Skyrim, they immediately sent word for Babette, the Dark Brotherhood Vampire. It was Babette that told me the news, that even with both her wolf blood and the help of Colette, that Aela was lucky to be alive, but that the burns were from an ancient fire spell that could only be countered with an ancient healing spell made by the dragons. So with Babette, Aela and one of the healers, we went to the roof made for a dragon to land on. I called Odahviing, after he arrived and checked Aela over, he told me only Paarthurnax knew the healing spell, but with the Blades going behind my back and killing him, the spell was forever lost; not even the White Phial was old enough to save her. Aela asked that I end her suffering, with a sorrowful apology for not being there and one swing, Aela was with Hircine, and her body burned in the Skyforge. After that, Farkas, Vilkas and I slaughtered the nine Bloodlings, ending their time in this world permanently.
*end flashback*
After the recollection, both Greenalda and I went our separate ways, I mounted my longtime friend, Shadowmere, and knocked an arrow.
"Fus." I shouted to open the doors. Releasing the arrow, I killed a Thalmor agent that managed not to get blown back by the door. Nudging Shadowmere , we went out towards the direction that the carriage went. Before turning left, I killed another seven agents. Stopping just at the turn, I looked back to make sure the five Thalmore were following me. What met my sight was an explosion from a fire spell I had hoped and begged they would never find.
"NOOOOOOOO!" I shouted as I ripped off my helm, holding onto it by one of the top horns.
"There! Kill the Dragonborn!" One of the Thalmor shouted.
As all five Thalmor started running and shooting spells at me, I had Shadowmere continue down the left path that lead to the preservation vault under what was the castle. Upon reaching the vault door, I dismounted and reequipped my helmet and explained to Shadowmere why I was sending him to Savngarde instead of Oblivion.
"Listen Shadow, there are two reasons I'm sending you to Savngarde. First, I do not know the spell to open the Oblivion Gates. Second, even if I did know how to open the gates, I don't know how to bring you back." I explained.
Through his body movements, Shadowmere asked, How long will I stay?
"If everything goes right, two months at most." I answered.
Good luck. Shadowmere answered.
Having worked everything out beforehand, I shouted, "Hun." to call forth Gormlaith Golden-Hilt to ride Shadowmere into Savngarde. "Hun Kaal." I shout to call forth Felldir the Old so he could close and activate the vault. He walked behind the door to hide.
"Thank you Gormlaith, tell Ysgramor thank you as well." I told her as she rode through the Gates of Savngarde with Shadowmere.
"Your welcome and I will." She called back.
Right after the gates closed and disappeared the Thalmor were right there. Turning around and entering the vault, they followed me inside.
"Now you're trapped Dragonborn! Prepare to die!" The head Thalmor, Elenwen, yelled unnecessarily.
"Two things. First, you don't have to yell, Elenwen, and finally you still haven't learned my name." I stated. "Get used to the site Elenwen, J'datharr, Ondolemar, Shavari and Valmir, because this is all we are going to see for a while. Now Felldir!"
To everyone's surprise, the door closed. J'datharr tried to turn and get out the door only to receive a bloodied forehead. What they didn't know is that the vault is four meters of magic moved rock on the outside, two meters of iron in the middle and three meters of steel inside. The vault is twenty meters long, ten meters wide and forty meters high.
To the left of the door is shelves going from one side to the other and all the way up with mannequins for all kinds of armour found and made in Tamriel and on the upper levels were simple hide armour with enchantments and ladders interspersed all the way up. Along the back is racks for every type of weapon with ladders interspersed all the way up and along the top was simple iron daggers with enchantments. On the right side was shelves for books, Daedric Artifacts, soul gems both filled and unfilled, gems, dragon priest masks and dragon bones scales and heart scales with ladders interspersed going all the way up. In the middle is the carvings to open Nocturnal's portal with the skeleton key hidden on one of the top shelves to the right of the door.
With the door closed, the special preservative liquid I made started to fall and fill the vault quickly.
"Damn you, you filthy beast! Take this!" Ondolemar yelled as he dual cast a fire and ice spell, glancing me on both sides of my body.
With the racks of weapons at my back, the spells were harmless to them, not so much to me, even with my armour on. Grabbing my sides, I said, "Crap, I was going to kill y'all befo..." With that the vault was completely sealed.
