Here is my next Skyrim fanfiction, Seradia is not dragonborn. June will be in this story and yes the romance of the story is with Ancano. Why you ask? Because it's different and the idea popped up into my head while I was doing the college quest's, I know he's a jerk but maybe there's a heart in that jerk xD (Don't judge me.) This story is going to mainly focus on the building up romance and story, there won't be as much smut in this story as there was in my others. (If this is your first time reading my stories, you should start reading Hated Love because if you start with this story you might get confused.) I hope you like this story, please enjoy it! (Be careful not to jump to conclusion in this story because the ending might be different than you think ;) ) Yes the story will have spoilers.
Seradia was a young Breton in her mid 20's, she left her home in High Rock to join the College of Winterhold. She was always fascinated with magic and wanted to become a master of destruction magic but also restoration magic. She arrived at the college about 6 months ago and it seemed there was never a boring moment in the unfamiliar land of Skyrim.
About 3 months ago rumors of dragons have been spreading all across Skyrim, and not only that but also a new Dragonborn as well. She was curios about the tales if they were true or not but not that interested in them to go off and chase after them. All she knew was that the Dragonborn was a Female and a Nord, typical she always thought. She found herself to become jealous of the Nord's, they were strong and mostly good looking.
She never really cared about her looks before, but when she would see the Nordic women with their tall curvy forms and perfect perky breasts she couldn't help but feel a little jealous. She only came to be interested in a few men since she moved to Skyrim but they were always drooling over the more attractive women around her.
Than about a month ago a Thalmor representative named Ancano came to the college to be the Arch-Mage's "advisor" is what she was told but it still didn't make any sense. She couldn't make any sense of anything anymore, she had yet seen a dragon so to her it was just a rumor and something else destroyed the village Helgen, there's a war going on so it could be a cover story from whom ever attacked it, she always told herself. The only thing important to her was completing her goal and becoming a master mage, she had just ranked up from Apprentice to Adept and was able to move to a new quarters on the second floor in the Hall of Attainment.
It made her happy because it meant she would get to be closer to Enthir, he was one of the few men she found herself admiring and growing attached to but he showed no interest in her. It wasn't because he was drooling over anybody else, he just kept to himself and just didn't seem to be interested in anybody or maybe it was just her. She sighed closing the drawer finally finishing up moving her things from her old quarters, she sat up rubbing the back of her neck looking around examining everything.
It was a little bigger than her last room and she had her own desk which she was very grateful for. She found herself buying more and more books from the Arcanaeum lately, it was hard to resist he had an interesting collection of books. She turned her head noticing a medium sized mirror hanging on her wall, she walked over to it examining her appearance. She brushed her fingers through her medium length curly dark brown hair, she had high cheek bones and pale green eyes. She wrinkled up her nose a bit thinking she looked messy and it was no wonder that Enthir showed no interest in her, but at least he spoke to her often and it seemed they were becoming good friends.
She placed her finger on the tip of her nose and slowly rose it up to where it looked like a piggy nose, she smiled a goofy grin sticking her tongue out making stupid faces at the mirror. "Hard at work I see!" She heard a familiar voice laugh out from behind her. She quickly turned seeing it was Enthir, he was leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed and laughing at her a little. Seradia clenched her fists lowering her head down to where she was looking at the floor, she let her hair fall in front of her face to hide that she was blushing from embarrassment.
It seemed like she made a fool of herself every time he was around. "I was just.." She started to explain but couldn't come up with an excuse. "Being childish?" He said jokingly with a smirk on his face, she looked up wrinkling her nose at him and than looked away crossing her arms. "You should try it sometimes, having a stick up your butt all the time can't be good for you." She said not being able to hold back the smile on her face. "Hey I'm not as bad as that Ancano guy." He said sitting up walking into her room a little, he looked around seeing she had re organized and moved everything.
She watched him a little and than turned grabbing one of the books off of her desk. "Yea he doesn't have a secret fencing thing going on like you do so there's the difference." She looked back at him. "Shhh! Keep your voice down about that and there's way more than that to tell the difference between us!" He sounded a bit offended and Seradia couldn't help but laugh at him for it. "Well I guess I should stop being childish now and go get some things done." She said giving him a small smile and than walked past him leaving her room, Enthir smiled back watching her leave.
It seemed like everybody was cautious about Ancano and that they didn't like him very much but Seradia didn't know enough about him to have an opinion. He had hardly said a word to her since he's been here and she didn't think he even knew her name. But she would sometimes catch him looking at her but not only that watching her, he would look at her a certain way that she was unfamiliar with . A part of her felt uncomfortable by it but than another part of her kind of liked it, no one had ever looked at her like that before and it gave her a weird feeling through out her body.
He was tall like every High Elf and he was handsome she thought, she liked his long white blonde hair and couldn't help but admire his strong jaw lines. But he was also kind of rude and acted like he was full of himself so she would normally steer clear of him for her fear of his judgment. She opened the door and was greeted by blowing snow and a freezing wind that made her teeth immediately begin to chatter.
She quickly pulled her hood up over her head and walked quickly towards the Hall of Elements. She saw Mirabelle and Tolfdir both talking and just standing in the wind, she didn't know how they ever got used to this cold wind but she hoped she would to soon. "Yes, yes I'll make preparations for the rooms soon don't worry!" Tolfdir said turning his head a bit noticing Seradia from the corner of his eye. "Ah! I've heard congratulations are in due my dear!" Tolfdir said with his usual warm smile.
Mirabelle smiled at Seradia. "That's right, she just ranked from Apprentice." Mirabelle crossed her arms nodding to Seradia. "Ah it's an exciting thing to happen! But you must always remember to be safe and careful with what you learn, there's nothing more dangerous than magic out of control!" Tolfdir began to lecture her, Seradia sighed hugging herself beginning to shiver in the cold wind. 'Here we go.' She thought to herself looking down a bit.
Mirabelle smiled shaking her head a bit. "Oh leave her be Tolfdir, I'm sure she has some work to do." Mirabelle glanced at Seradia. "Alright we'll continue some other time." He said nodding at Seradia. She gave him a small smile and than hurried off to get out of the cold as soon as possible. She pushed open the doors and than shut them quickly behind her, she lowered her hood back down and than shook her head a bit getting snowflakes that got caught in her hair out.
She rubbed up her arms trying to warm herself up and to stop her shivering. 'Moments like this, I miss my home..' She thought to herself, she looked up seeing Nirya was approaching her. "Have you heard anything?" She asked Seradia crossing her arms. "Heard what?" Seradia asked raising an eyebrow. "Has she said anything else about me?" Nirya furrowed down her eyebrows. "Who? Faralda?" Seradia said smiling a little. "Who else has it out for me?" Nirya looked away in aggravation.
Seradia laughed a little and shook her head. "I think your just a little too paranoid about it." Seradia tilted her head a bit looking at her. "No I'm not, I know she says things behind my back." Nirya snapped her head back towards Seradia a bit offended. "Okay well what ever you say...Hey I'm going down to the Arcanaeum wanna come with me?" She asked looking down at the ground a little. Nirya raised an eyebrow a little and than gave her a small crooked smile. "You're not still scared of Urag are you?" She said with a teasing voice.
Seradia snapped her head up wrinkling her nose up at Nirya. "No! I just thought you might wanna tag a long to get new books." She stuttered a bit looking away. "Just admit it, you're still scared of him." Nirya said with small laughter. "I am an Adept mage I am not scared of anyone!" Seradia glared at her a little. "Yes you're very scary." Nirya rolled her eyes. "Shut up and come on.." Seradia gave up and turned around walking down the stairs with Nirya following and laughing behind her.
When Seradia first arrived at the college she was quiet and hardly spoke to anyone. The first person that spoke to her was Enthir and was mainly insults because she tripped going down the stairs and tumbled into Enthir causing them both to fall. But since then she had made some friends like Nirya, even though when they first met it didn't seem like they would ever be friends but things happen.
As they reached the end of the stairs Seradia opened up her bag and pulled out the book she borrowed last. "So did you hear the college is getting some new apprentices?" Nirya said watching Seradia. "Really? How many?" She asked a bit surprised, she was the last one to join and it made her a bit excited to know that their will be more. "Three I think." Nirya replied. "I'm not sure when they're suppose to get here though I just know what was told to me." She shrugged and came to an immediate stop almost running into Seradia who suddenly stopped.
Nirya looked up seeing that Ancano was in the Arcanaeum and was in an argument with Urag. "You call this a library? It's selection is pathetic." Ancano complained glaring a little at Urag. "If you don't like it than get out!" Urag yelled at him in aggravation. Ancano sneered at him and than turned around walking away. "Prick..." Nirya whispered watching him, Seradia froze feeling her nerves begin to act up as she noticed the way he was looking at her again. She held the book close to her chest and looked down nervously as he got closer to them, he stopped in front of her looking down at her in silence for a moment.
Nirya furrowed her eyes brows watching him, Seradia slowly shifted her eyes up looking at him. "That book you have, what is it?" He asked keeping his eyes on her, she slowly looked down a the book. "I-it's called the Sun's Dawn V2." She said with a nervous voice. "I suppose I'll have to do with that one." Ancano said with sigh as if it were a big deal, he held is hand out. Seradia slowly placed the book in his hand and Ancano nodded to her and than walked away from them both taking one last glance at her.
Seradia turned watching him walk away and than turned back looking at Nirya who had an eyebrow raised in confusion. Seradia just shrugged and began to walk up to Urag's desk. "You hear for the next volumes?" Urag asked raising an eyebrow at Seradia, she nodded giving him a warm smile. Urag got up from his seat walking over to a pile of books and grabbed a couple carrying them back over. "Here you go, you gonna buy them or just barrow them?" He asked crossing his arms. "I'll just barrow them." She said placing a small coin purse on the desk and than picked up the books.
She nodded to Urag thanking him and than turned walking back over to the stairs with Nirya. "You're not going to get anything?" She asked raising an eyebrow at her. "No I haven't done much reading lately." Nirya replied looking at the book shelves as they passed by them. "So what was that look that Ancano gave you?" She couldn't help but ask. Seradia clenched her jaw looking away a bit. "I didn't notice anything.." She mumbled quietly. "How could you not notice?" Nirya furrowed her eyebrows down at her. "It was kinda weird." She smiled a bit. "If only Enthir would look at me like that..." Seradia whispered to herself. "What?" Nirya raised her eyebrows.
Seradia's eyes widened realizing she said that out loud. "I didn't say anything." She shrugged looking away as they began to walk back up the stairs. "Yes you did, I heard you say something." Nirya smiled looking at Seraida. "You're hearing things." She said keeping her eyes away from her, Nirya kept her eyes on Seradia for a bit and than just shook her head looking forward as they walked up the stairs.
They kept small talk going as they walked up the rest of the stairs, Seradia pushed open the door and was greeted by Mirabelle. "Ah just the person I was looking for." She said approaching them both. "I have put your new robes in your quarters." She explained. "Alright, thank you." Seradia said, Mirabelle nodded to her and than turned walking away. Seradia and Nirya both walked out the door and hurried through the blowing snowy wind to the Hall of Attainment.
They rushed through the door and quickly closed it behind them before any snow could find its way in. Seradia held the books close to her chest as she shivered walking towards the stairs with Nirya behind her. They walked up the stairs, once Seradia reached the top step she saw Enthir was sitting in a chair reading. She quickly looked down feeling her face grow warm, Nirya couldn't help but laugh a little noticing her actions.
Seradia went to her room placing the books on the desk, she turned her head seeing the new robes nicely folded on her bed. Nirya turned away giving Seradia some privacy while she changed into her new clothing. "I think it's a little too big.." Seradia said quietly, she walked out of the room and once Nirya saw her she just started to laugh. The sleeves hung over her hands and the robes were baggy on her.
Seradia slouched over glaring at Nirya beginning to feel a bit embarrassed, her face turned red once she heard Enthir's laughter from behind. He got up from his chair and walked over joining Nirya in laughter. Seradia crossed her arms sneering at them both, she was shorter than they were especially Nirya and was always small. "Now you really do look like a child!" Enthir laughed even more at the glare on her face. "So adorable!" Nirya patted the top of Seradia's head laughing even more.
Seradia quickly slapped her hand away and stomped back into her room cursing under her breath. "You're both not that much older than me! Stupid..." She mumbled the last word pulling her robes off, Enthir quickly looked away realizing she was getting naked. "What? not liking what you see?" Nirya asked looking at Enthir with a wide grin. "It's called respect." He said keeping his eyes away. "From you? That's surprising.." Nirya mumbled with a smirk on her face.
'A child!?' Seradia thought too herself, she found herself becoming angry at that comment from him. 'Is that how he sees me?' A frown formed on her face as she finished putting her old robes back on, she looked down at her bed for a moment feeling her nerves begin to act up. 'Idiots..' She thought too herself again slightly looking to the side at them both. Nirya looked back into the room and frowned a little noticing the look on her face. "We were only joking around Sera." She said raising an eyebrow at her.
Sera was her nick name, the other scholars in the college gave it to her and it just stuck, Seradia quickly picked up the robes and walked past them both not saying another word. 'A child..' She kept thinking to herself, it really bothered her. Enthir and Nirya quickly exchanged looks and than turned back watching Seradia walk away and than disappear as she quickly walked down the stairs.
