CHAPTER ONE : FRATICIDOUS DUEL
For numerous days now,they were fighting,not that they were aware,time seemed to stop while they were both trying to gain the upper hand in what we could call a fraticidous duel The First Dragonborn,against the Last,Miraak,against Revan.
One who wants to escape his past,and the other standing on his way,to protect Tamriel,after saving it from Alduin's wrath 2 years ago
For days,,the duel looked undecided,Revan having the advantage at close combat,being a better swordsman,with his 2 dragonbone swords,which he swinged swinged fastly enough to be the only one to attack in close combat sequences,Miraak could only but parry at the beginning of every close combat sequence but he would slowly but surely lose his balance at each blow,an begin to get cuts and bruises from Revan's swords.
But even when he would be down,one knee on the floor,
"WULD NAH KEST"
he would still manage to escape from the killing blow thanks to his Thu'um,absorb a dragon's soul from the ones who were watching the battle,to heal himself,and then attack from distance with flames,ice,and all forms of destruction magic,and would take the advantage,Revan would have to dodge every attack before thinking about getting close again at Miraak.
Revan would also use his Thu'um,but even after alll his adventures,his knowledge of the voice was far from Miraak's
He tried numerously to gain the advantage from Miraak from distance with his shouts but Miraak would already know how to respond
When he would shouts fire breath "YOL TOOR SHUL",Miraak would have already anticipated and shouted frost breath "FO KRAH DIIN",and it would go the other way around too and as Miraak's Thu'um was more powerful,it would be Revan who would end up having to dodge fire or frost and occasionally get hurt.
This is the way their fight had been until now.
But now the end was near,Miraak had no more dragon to use,and Revan's Nightingale armor was wrecked.
Both were now too tired to keep swinging swords or using magic
"Fine,said Miraak,let's end this the way Dragonborns shall do"
Revan knew it would disadvantage him,the dragon aspect Miraak gave him the advantage on Thu'um,his would be more powerful then his rival,but something within Revan seemed to have been awaken in this fight,someting that made him feel proud and powerful.
This,and the fact he was too tired and hurt,like his opponent,to swing his blade even one more time,he had no choice.
Even though,his reason told him to refuse,knowing he would not stand a chance,but for the first time in his life,his proudness spoke over.
"As you wish" he simply answered However,Revan knew he would have to take the same aspect as Miraak only not to be beaten by one shout,he would have to ignore his fear of wielding a power too great for him for this time.
He had to,and so he did shout "MUL QAH DIIV"
As he took the same Dragon Aspect as Miraak,he felt now even stronger and ready to end this.
"Impressive for sure" said Miraak "I honestly didn't think it would come to this,you have my respect,Revan,but still,it won't be enough,you're far from ready for this,it's over."
-Enemies who underestimate me are my favorites,keep going."
-Sadly for you,I'm not underestimating anyone,just doing a statement,though I have to admit I never got so many bruises and cuts,they all came from your swords,your Thu'um on the other side,has been useless,you are a great swordsman I give you that,but a poor Dragonborn.
-From what I heard and read,Vahlok wasn't Dragonborn and he still nearly killed you."
-Your insolence won't help you to escape your fate,Revan,I spent eons working on becoming the master of mine again and I won't fail so close against a kid who has never been the master of his own destiny."
-Look who's talking about insolence,it has been your undoing thousands years ago,Miraak,eons have past and you didn't learn from your biggest mistake,the way I see it,it's far from over,now let's do this"
As he sayed those words,Revan decided to shout first "FUS RO DAH".His Thu'um was now more powerful than ever,but Miraak still managed to escape the unrelenting force wave with his own Thu'um "WULD NAH KEST"
Miraak and Revan stared at each other a long time before one of them finally decided to expose himself and attack as Miraak shouted "VEN GAAR NOS" unleashing a cyclone in which Revan was taken,and after few moments he began to fall,but when he was about to crash on the floor,
"FEIM"
He shouted only one word to become ethereal at the impact,giving him the ability to get away with no damage at all,as soon as he got up,he stroke back,"YOL TOOR SHUL","FO KRAH DIIN" Miraak replied almost at the same time but,unlike before Revan took the Dragon Aspect,this time his Thu'um matched Miraak's,and both had to get covered from their shouts before getting up seconds after to continue their fight.
For hours their Thu'um echoed in all of Apocrypha,which summit,where the fight took place,became a total mess.
After numerous shouts,they both were exhausted,barely standing up,but when both thought of what would happen if they were the one to loose,Revan could not stand his vision of all Tamriel ruled by a Dragonborn,like him,even though a part of him could only but understand Miraak's frustration of being imprisoned for eons,still,they both managed to gather all their last strengths to unleash one more shout.
"FUS RO DAH" they both yelled at the same time,both urelenting force waves tried to overcome each other for a long time,after what they both came back to the two Dragonborn who both got violently sent to the edges of the summit of apocrypha.
After getting up,both too tired to keep unleashing their Thu'um,they both began to run to each other like savages,both wanting to win this fight even with only their hands left.
They were about to get to each other when suddenly a tentacle appeared and stabbed Miraak,who cried in pain,in his back,then elevating him to Hermaeus Mora who just appeared.
"Did you think to escape me Miraak!?You can hide nothing from me here!" the anger in the daedric prince echoed in all of his realm "No matter,I have found a new dragonborn to serve me."
Wait,whaaaaat? Revan thought, no f***ing way I'm going to serve this monster I thought I've been very clear about that with him.
As he heard Hermaeus Mora laughed while holding a beaten Miraak in pain,defenseless,Revan felt his own anger rise,the fact that he felt powerless didn't help him controlling it
That's when he heard Miraak,ignoring his pain to defy the evil God one last time,with only sarcasm in his final words "May he be rewarded for his service as I am"
That's it,Revan couldn't let Miraak die like this,but he couldn't let him live either,he had to think fast,before acting against a God in his own realm,
This cursed book is the link between me and this realm,only a God's artefact can destroy another of his,I guess,I mean I hope he thought to himself
But what if that doesn't work,does Miraak deserve us to save him,and then get imprisoned instead of him,he wanted to rule all over Tamriel? he then considered,debating in his mind alone,before thinking again
He wanted to be free first,and i can only but understand,we have to free his soul,it's his last wish,and somehow,I don't know why but I feel like he would have done the same for me,and even if I'm wrong,this is the right thing to do.
Well I guess I have chosen Revan thought while smiling a little
Then he acted quick,took his last stamina bottle,a little one,but it would be enough,took his blade,run to Miraak and drove his sword into the First Dragonborn's heart just when Hermaeus Mora was about to end Miraak's life.
Neither the Daedric Prince or his former servant saw it coming.
"Enjoy the afterlife in Sovngarde,it's a nice place you'll see,anyway,you're free now,don't mind if I borrow your sword?You won't need it anymore" Revan asked
Miraak then understood,before offering his sword with his right hand and simply answerring "Thank you" after what he unleashed his last breath,in peace.
Just when Revan stood up with Miraak's blade he saw the sky darkened by tentacles with at the center,hundreds,thousands, maybe more googly eyes staring angrily at him
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Hermaeus Mora yelled "YOU COULD HAVE BEEN MY MOST VALUABLE ASSET,BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN MIRAAK EVER WAS,AND YET YOU DECIDE TO DEFY ME,DESPITE SEEING WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES?YOU SHALL PAY,DRAGONBORN,I,HERMAEUS MORA,SWEAR YOUR SOUL WILL BECOME MINE!"
That's when the Daedric prince saw Revan lifting Miraak's sword above the black book that allowed him to enter Apocrypha "It would have been with pleasure my lord,but I got plans,and most importantly,sweet rolls waiting for me on Tamriel,I'm sooooo sorry,Bye!" Revan sarcastically answerred before driving Miraak's sword into the black book That's when he felt himself fade away,losing his connection to this world,his vision darkening
"NOOOOOOOO,YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS,NOBODY CAN ESCAPE ME,NOT THE SKAALS,NOT MIRAAK,AND DEFINITELY NOT A PATHETIC MORTAL LIKE YOU!" Hermaeus Mora yelled again,throwing his tentacles at Revan who disappeared before the daedric prince could get him...
