Chapter 1

The Mission.

Shadow climbed up the slope to The Throat of the World. He carried his faithful dragon bone great sword and wore his dragon bone armor. He reached the top where he found Paarthurnax the old dragon who was leader of the Greybeards. Paathurnax turned and looked at Shadow.

"Drem Yol Lok Dovakiin." Rumbled the old dragon. Shadow nodded and waited for Paarthurnax to start the traditional dova greetings. Paarthurnax drew in a deep breath and roared "Yol Toor Shul". Flames erupted from the dragon's mouth and covered Shadow. As the flames dissipated Shadow looked on unharmed and waited for his skin to stop burning. Shadow pulled back his head and uttered the same three words. But, unlike Paarthurnax it wasn't much of a stream as it was more of a fireball. The fireball hit Paarthurnax and he nodded. "Your Thu'm is as strong as ever Dovakiin."

"Paarthurnax, why have you summoned me here and why did I need to retrieve the elder scroll?" Shadow asked.

"I asked you to bring the Kel the elder scroll because I have sensed a great problem. Dovakiin there are more lands in the world other then Tamriel. One is the land known as Alagaesia. In this land joors of all kinds live there. Including elf, man, and dwemmer." Paarthurnax said. "A land where joors ride dovas. But, one dova rider betrayed the others and now he rules over Alagaesia. Now, the last free Rider has joined a group known as the Varden to defeat the king. But, the king is strong warriors and the rider and blue dova will need your help. They are located in a group of mountains as tall as this strummah and are resting in a dwemmer city. Warn them of a coming battle and assist them in the battle."

"How will I keep up with this dragon rider? I will not run around below him." Shadow objected.

"Did I ever say I was sending you alone?" Paarthurnax said. Shadow looked up as a roar echoed off the mountain. He saw a dragon with red scales. Shadow smiled for he knew this dragon. It was Odahviing a dragon who had turned against Alduin and helped him defeat him. Odahviing landed with a loud crash.

"I am ready for this journey if you are Dovakiin." Odahviing growled. Shadow chuckled and took out the elder scroll. He pulled it open and a strange light covered his vision.

"Don't worry Dovakiin. I will be with you in your mind and you will still have my council." Paathurnax roared.
