Hello everyone, I am Nikrael. This will be the very first fanfic I Have ever created. Let me know what you think. Please be honest I don't have time for creating poor quality stories. I want everyone that reads my work to fully enjoy themselves and feel as if what they read was worth their time. Now that I have given my thoughts, allow me to entertain you with my piece.
Chapter 1: Priest and Hylians and Dragons! Oh my!
"Poor souls. Bandits must have gotten them. Seeing how they have pointed ears and height I would say that this boy is a wood elf. Strange dress for a wood elf though. I've been to Valenwood recently and none of them wore clothes like him. May the nine devines watch over their souls." The stranger then begins to unravel his sack full of equipment and picks up a shovel. "It's only proper for me to give them a rightful burial." As he digs, a stir begins in the Autumn foliage as the girl begins to regain conciousness.
"Oh, my head." She whispers She turns around and sees the boy lying beside her. "Link! Link, wake up!" She yells. This startles the man digging the graves as he jumps and drops his shovel. "By The Nine, you're alive!" Exclaimed the man. He then apologizes and introduces himself as Nikalus the traveling priest of Talos from the town of Riften. The woman bows and introduces herself. "My name is Princess Zelda of Hyrule. And this is my betrothed, Link. Priest, do you think you can heal him. I can faintly feel his heart beating but if waiting much longer I fear he will die." Nikalus nods and begins using a restoration spell on Link. Link begins to respond to the healing as his foot twitches. His eyes flash open as he lunges up and then falls back to the ground face first do to a sudden sensation of dizziness.
"Link!" Zelda screams as she tries to catch him but fails. "Easy Friend." Nikalus chuckles as he helps the young man up. "You must not be so hasty. You may hurt yourself."
"Zelda! Are you hurt?" Link questions. She shakes her head. "No, I am fine. It is you who were hurt the most." she replied. Nikalus looks at them both and asks them puzzlingly, "So where are you folks from again? Hyrule? I have never heard of such a land." Zelda looks bewildered and asks,"Is this not The Lost Woods of Hyrule?" Nikalus responds saying,"No, this is County Rift. You are in the land of Skyrim, the province of Tamriel." Just then in the distance a loud thunderous roar erupts from nowhere as a gust of wind and the sound of great wings flap loudly. The three look towards the direction as the noise gets closer. Link tells Zelda and Nikalus to go hide behind the boulders. As they do a mighty dragon comes within sight and within seconds is upon Link. The dragon lands and roars fiercely towards Link and charges. The beast misses and runs into a mountain side as Link dodges. Link then draws his sword and jumps on the dragon's back. It then begins jumping and doing all in its power to remove the Hylian from its back When nothing seems to work it takes flight and Link imbeds his sword deep into its back this causes the dragon to wail in pain. While flying the dragon stars spinning, diving, and then does a loop that finally removes Link.
Link quickly pulls out his long shot grappling hook and fires it masterfully at the dragon's neck. The hook penatrates the animal's neck and draws Link quickly back to the sword again. He gives the blade a sharp twist, sliding it perfectly between the dragon vertibrae, severing its spinal cord. As the beast lets out one last scream before it dies it begins to fall from the sky. With little time to spare, Link performs a spell of his own called Nayru's Love. This spell covers him in an impenatrable field of energy and he lands taking no damage from the fall.
With the dragon dead Link sheathes his sword and gives the clear that all is well and safe. The two come out of hiding and marvel at the great beast that now lies lifeless on the ground before them. Nikalus is the first to speak. "You are the first person that I have ever seen kill a dragon since I first met the Dragonborn. As for you two's situation I am headed to the village of Winterhold to visit the Archmage there. He may be able to send you back to your kingdom. May I be your escort?" Zelda laughs with excitement as she approves of this idea.
