I should be working on my other story "Successor of Shadows" but the idea just came up when I began to play Skyrim again with all the DLCs. This is a small chapter but don't worry, I'm already half way done with the second chapter and will never abandon any work that I started. This story will continue and because it is now break time from school, I have a lot more free time which would mean faster updates. Now read and please enjoy this small chapter and review what you think about it. Thank you.

I do not own Skyrim or the Elder Scroll series.

The picture for this story is from TheSpiritFromTheWoods.

Chapter 1

In the dark gloomy Summit of Apocrypha, the Dragonborn Allvis was kneeling on the floor and was using both his arms to support himself. Blood was everywhere around him...they were his blood. His wounds wouldn't stop bleeding due to the poison that is currently running in his veins from Miraak's staff.

There were large cuts on his chest, both his legs, knees, arms, both his hands and his back. He also had a enormous cut in his stomach that went though his stomach and intestines as well. He can feel the acids in his stomach mixing with his blood that is causing so much pain that he just wanted to pass out. His eboney armor was practically useless against Miraak's weapons.

He was breathing heavily and his body refused to move to his will, feeling as if all his body just turned to lead. It was even hard to keep himself in his kneeling position. He knew he will die in a few minutes, he have spent all his stamina and magicka while fighting and can slowly feel his life being taken away from him.

The fight against Miraak had lasted for hours. Both fought their best and with all their powers which led to the destruction of half of the Summit of Apocrypha. Shouts, spells and swordsmanship were all used in the battle. The result was a draw were both of them could not continue to fight anymore.

Allivs slowly and painfully raised his head to see what was occurring to Miraak. He was kneeling as well while using his right arm to support himself. He couldn't use his left arm because it was cut away to his elbow and it wouldn't stop bleeding as well. His body was full of cuts as well but it was not as bad as the ones Allivs currently have.

Allvis knew Miraak was breathing heavily as well from the gash of blood coming out from his the mouth of his mask every time he exhaled and knew that he also only has a few moments to live.

After a few seconds, Miraak raised his head as well to look directly at Allivs. Allvis can see his deep blue eyes looking at his with great intensity. There was anger, rage, hate and malice in his eyes but what shocked Allvis was that his eyes expressed other emotions as well, his eyes also looked very sad, filled with years of misery and acceptance of his inevitable faith.

Allvis remained motionless, too shock to try to break the eye contact with all the emotions that were running in Miraak's eyes. In that few moments, Allvis understood who his opponent really was. He only wanted to be free to decide his own fate, freedom that was taken from him which led him to live a life in a cage with nothing but a void. A cage that forced him to change to the worse.

A deep sense of guilt and pity could be felt by Allvis. He could have been like Miraak if he was forced to be imprisoned forever. Is this really what needed to happen? Does everything needs to ends with both of us fighting and dying? Is this really fate? He doesn't know, all Allvis knows is that he had just killed what could be the only mortal that could really understand him the most.

As they continued to look at each others, Miraak was suddenly levitated to the center of the summit. There a large black tentacle stabbed from his back which penetrated out from his chest. A loud scream could be heard as blood came out from Miraaks mouth and chest.

"Did you think to escape me, Miraak? You can hide nothing from me here." said Hermaeus Mora with a deep dark voice.

Seeing this, Allvis desperately tried to crawl to reach Miraak so he could try to help him. He doesn't know how but he would try. But his body refused to move to his will and pain was all he felt if he move just an inch from his position. He was trying desperately but could not move, all he can do was watch while being powerless to do anything.

"No matter. I have found a new Dragonborn to serve me." stated Hermaeus Mora

Miraak slowly moved his head to look directly at the Allvis who was currently on the floor looking at him with a miserable expression. Allvis couldn't see his expression due to his mask but his eyes was enough to know his expression. Miraak gave Allvis an expression of sadness and pity. As well as acceptance of his faith.

"May he be rewarded for his service as I am." said Miraak in a powerful voice. Putting all of what is left of his life and energy to his voice.

Slowly Miraaks body began to deteriorate into ashes and Allvis can do nothing but watch as Miraak slowly turned to dust. Before Miraak's head was deteriorated, he looked directly at Allvis and gave what Allvis thought was a sad smile. Knowing that in death, the First Dragonborn could at least have some of his freedom. His entire body quickly turned to ashes and Allvis just lowered his head to the floor.

Miraaks soul and well as all the dragons he has killed quickly went to Allvis as he was on the floor. He know it was useless because he was dying as blood continues to flow out from his wounds.

"Miraak harbored fantasies of rebellion against me. Learn from is example. Serve me faithfully and you will continue to be richly rewarded." informed Hemaeus Mora to Allvis.

Allvis slowly lost consciousness due to the pain and blood loss. All he can remember was dark tentacles approaching him before everything turned black.
