So this is a completely new Skyrim fan fiction with the companions and Vilkas with a new Dragonborn OC. Why? Because I created a new character on Skyrim and just made her into a thief and this idea popped up in my mind and I really wanted to do it. I'm really busy lately so I will try to update as much as possible so please stay patient with me ^.^". WARNING THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS AND LANGUAGE SO BEWARE. Also many parts of this story are things I made up but it will have things that actually happened in the game. (sorry for my skyrim Vilkas fanfiction spam -3-"") Enjoy.
Vilkas laid still on his bed just staring at the ceiling, he had been laying there for quite a while with thoughts running through his mind. Thoughts of her. It has been about five months since he had first laid his eyes on her. He slowly closed his eyes and started remembering that day like it was yesterday.
He was on a small job with Ria, they were hired to take out some bandits for the Yarl of Falkreath. The bandits were targeting caravans that were carrying a lot of trade between Falkreath and other cities so the Yarl had requested that the companions take them out. It wasn't a hard job they were a small group with mostly archers so it only took an afternoon to take them out.
Ria and Vilkas decided to go ahead and stay in Falkreath for the night and head back to Whiterun in the morning, but on their way to Falkreath they heard a sound that neither of them have heard before. It sounded like giant wing beats as if coming from a giant bird but no, it wasn't a bird. It was a dragon, soon after the sound of wing beats came a ferocious roar and that's when they knew it was a dragon.
Vilkas quickly looked up with wide eyes seeing the giant beast hover right over them. "By the gods!" Ria yelled with the sound of fear in her voice. "Look out!" Vilkas yelled quickly grabbing her and throwing them both out of the way from the line of fire that came from the dragons mouth. He rolled off of her and looked back up at the sky quickly grabbing his greatsword with a shaky hand.
He gulped while he watched the dragon circle around and head right back towards them. 'I can't believe this, how do we fight such a beast.' Vilkas thought feeling his stomach begin to turn, he quickly shook his head shaking the fear out of him. "This is no time for that!" He shouted trying to pump himself up for the battle that was about to begin.
Ria quickly got up drawing her bow and immediately started shooting arrows out at the dragon but they barely made a scratch only a few actually stuck to it. "Ahh!" Vilkas yelled out charging right at the dragon but the dragon quickly opened its mouth and blew out a fire ball right for Vilkas causing him to jump out of the way loosing his balance and falling to the ground.
Ria kept shooting arrow after arrow, she managed to get one right in its eye. The dragon roared in pain and shook its head around violently attempting to get the arrow out of its eye. "Good shot!" Vilkas yelled to Ria quickly getting back up to his feet. "Now's my chance!" He shouted charging right back at the dragon. He swung his sword with all his strength and sliced it right underneath its head but it still wasn't enough.
It seemed like all it they did just pissed off the dragon more and more, the dragon let out another loud roar and swung its body around hitting them both with its tail sending them flying. Vilkas was slammed right into a tree knocking the air right out of him. "Dammit..." Vilkas coughed out in anger. He held his side and looked up at the dragon, it was preparing to shout more fire at them. 'I don't think we're gonna be able to beat this thing..' He thought to himself in anger.
He looked around trying to find Ria and he saw that she was thrown farther than he was, he cursed underneath his breath while he tried thinking of ways to escape and that pissed him off. He had never run from a fight before but he knew deep down in his gut that this battle was just to much for them and he couldn't risk Ria's life for his pride.
Just right when Vilkas was about to jump to his feet he saw that the dragon had paused, and its attention was no longer on them. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion but than he heard a loud thundering voice come from behind him. "FUS RO DAH!" The loud roar like shout came and hit the dragon with so much force it made it slide back, the dragon roared in pain and anger. The sound of footsteps came running and than a figure jumped right over Vilkas and charged right for the dragon.
Vilkas sat up to a kneeling position trying to see what just happened, the shout caused dirt to stir in the air and it was hard to see anything. He rubbed the dirt out of his eyes and than quickly opened them back up, behind the settling dirt in the air he saw a human figure, a female figure. Once the dirt finally cleared away Vilkas couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment. The woman in front of him was fighting the dragon like it was nothing, she had what looked like a dwarven bow and she was quickly shooting arrows at the dragon hitting it in all of its soft spots.
The dragon snapped at the woman but she quickly jumped out of the way throwing her bow down to the ground pulling out a sword and jumped right onto the dragons head. The dragon roared in frustration and shook its head violently trying to throw her off but it didn't work, she quickly threw her arm up in the air and shoved the sword right into the dragons head, the dragon let out one final roar and than fell over dead.
Vilkas sat there in amazement, he watched as the woman tried to pull the sword out but it wouldn't budge, she gave up and climbed down from the dragon. Vilkas opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by a sudden gush of wind appearing, he held his hair back away from his face watching as the dragon's corpse began to glow brightly and streams of light flew out of it and began to swarm around the woman.
His eyes widened at the sight, the lights glow increased making her look like as if she were a divine herself. She slowly turned around and smiled at him, he examined her carefully. She had long blonde hair with a single braid in it, her eyes were bright green like grass in the spring time, and he could tell she was a nord by her figure but she wasn't thickly built like most Nordic women but she did have a good build to her body. He could also tell she was Nord by the tattoo marking on her right cheek.
He examined her armor seeing it was scaled armor and saw only one more sword on her and her bow that she was using. She walked over to where she threw it and sheathed it back in its place and than began to walk away with out a word to them.
Vilkas quickly looked back to the dragon corpse and was shocked to see it was nothing but a skeleton now, he got up and was about to walk over to the corpse but he heard a small cough come from Ria and quickly turned around. 'I had almost forgotten about her.' He thought in a panic running to her. Ria slowly sat up rubbing her head, she had hit it on a rock with the dragon hit her with its tail. "You okay?" Vilkas asked her standing over her. "Yea I'm fine." She said with a small smile.
Her eyes widened when she saw the skeletal corpse of the dragon. "What happened?" She asked in a quiet confused voice. Vilkas quickly turned around realizing he has also forgotten about the woman for a minute, he opened his mouth to speak but quickly closed it once he saw she was gone. He felt a pit form in his stomach when he saw she was no longer there.
He had never seen a woman like her before, she was beautiful, she was strong and fast, and when that mysterious light came from the dragon and glowed around her she was almost blinding. "You okay?" Ria asked seeing the frown on his face.
Vilkas quickly erased his emotions from his face and turned his back on Ria. "Yea I'm fine, come on let's get back on the road to Falkreath before it gets dark." He spoke in a low voice. "Uh okay but what the heck happened!" She said quickly following after him. Vilkas could feel his stomach begin to knot up, he couldn't help but feel regret that he didn't speak to her when he did.
Vilkas quickly opened his eyes and just stared at his ceiling for a while. He sighed loudly, ever since that day he thought of her often. Who was she, where did she come from, what was her name. Those were questions he often asked in his mind and a lot of times he would make up the answers and sometimes make up conversations between them.
He found himself frowning again feeling his regret grow, what made it worse was that wasn't the only time he saw her. It was three months ago when he got to lay his eyes on her again.
He had just returned from a job and decided to stop by Belathors General Goods Store to sell some things he had gotten on the job, he walked into the store and saw a woman standing at the corner. He didn't recognize her at first, he could only see her from behind and she was wearing a lavender colored dress. He just ignored her like he did all the other citizens of Whiterun.
He waited patiently behind her watching her make exchanges with Belathor. "These are quite nice, where do you find such things?" Belathor asked examining a silver cup with strange designs on it. "I don't think you would believe me if I told you." She said with a small giggle after it. "Well come back anytime!" He said to her as he handed her a coin purse.
She nodded to him and than turned around, Vilkas's eyes widened and he froze in his place once he saw her face. It was her, she was there in town and right in front of. Better yet he got to hear her voice and it was sweet but strong. "Hey are you going to buy something or what?" Belathor said loudly grabbing Vilkas's attention. Vilkas jumped a little realizing he had spaced out and was just standing there.
He looked around and saw that she was now gone, he frowned realizing he let her go again with out talking to her. 'Pathetic..' He scolded himself. 'All I did was just stand there like a fool.' He kept scolding himself, he sighed and stepped up to the counter placing his bag onto it.
Vilkas let out a loud sigh keeping his eyes to the ceiling. A loud knock came to his door causing him to jump a little. "Hey are you gonna be in there all day!" He heard Farkas's voice coming from behind the door. "I'm coming, I was just resting a little." He shouted out to his brother. Vilkas got up from his bed and quickly got dressed into his armor.
He opened his door and frowned a little at his brother for bothering him. "What more could there be, I've been doing jobs non stop for the past two weeks." Vilkas said crossing his arms. "There's always work to be done but it's not the usual job, Kodlak just wants some work done on Jorrvaskr there's some spots on the outside of the building that needs to be boarded up." Farkas said walking away with Vilkas following behind him.
A grin slowly formed on Farkas's face. "So day dreaming about the love of your life again?" He said with a small chuckle. Vilkas glared at Farkas a bit annoyed. "There is no love of my life, that stupid joke is getting old." He said looking away, ever since he had first met that woman Farkas had been teasing him about it, he deeply regret telling his brother at it. "Well the way you talked about her that one time makes me thing differently." Farkas replied.
Vilkas rolled his eyes. "Yes that one time I mentioned her to you, it's time to drop it I do not love a woman I know nothing about I was just simply explaining that I was impressed was all." Vilkas explained keeping an annoyed look on his face. "Sure." Farkas said with a small smirk. Vilkas quickly gave Farkas a good punch in the arm and than walked a head of him and up the stairs to the main room of Jorrvaskr.
The room was filled with most of the companions and most of them were sitting at the table enjoying some fresh food that Tilma had made, his stomach growled at the smell of the cooked meat but he just ignored it and walked past the table. 'I can eat when I'm done outside.' He thought to himself. He walked outside with Farkas following behind him and they both walked over to the piles of wood that was laid out for them.
Repairing the outside walls of Jorrvaskr didn't take as long as they thought, after they were done they grabbed some food and sat outside to eat. It was a fairly nice warm day, Vilkas looked up at the sky seeing only a few clouds in the sky but other than that it was its usual bright blue. "Is there anymore work to be done today?" Vilkas asked thinking he might actually wanna do some more. "I don't think so, we haven't had much request today and the ones we did have Aela and Skjor took them over." Farkas replied taking a sip of his mead.
Vilkas drank the rest of his mead down and than got up from his chair. "Than I'll do some training then." He said grabbing his sword from the weapon wrack and than made his way to the practice dummies.
