Many months have passed. Tamriel was at peace from any threat or Armageddon once again, thanks to Luke the Dragonborn. For he slew Alduin, the world eater himself, and the threat of him shall no longer rise. Not only that, but he helped the Dawnguard defeat the evil Volkihar vampire clan and kill thei leader Harkon with the help of his new friend, Serana, who happened to by the vampire king's daughter. Furthermore, he saved Tamriel the third time by defeating Miraak, the corrupt first dragonborn in the lair of his former master, Hermaues Mora on the Morrowind territory of Solthstheim. Luke did many things he was proud of, and things that he was not, most of them were good deeds anyway.
His shoulder-length brown hair has grown a little longer than before, but besides that, he didn't really psysically change that much. At the moment, he was sitting on a chair in his bedroom in his own house within Markarth. He wore fine clothes and Dawnbreaker was on the table.
Meeko, the poor dog that lost his previous owner in the shack close to Solitude was with him, sitting right next to him. The pooch was really happy to meet Luke as his new master. He barked happily and panted. The dragonborn turned around and petted him "oh, who's a good boy?" He said playfully. Meeko barked in reply. "Oh yes. I hear you." Then he made a little sigh. "I really don't know what to do next." He thought. "I did so many adventures out in Skyrim and mind of out of it, but what now?"
"is everything alright, my Thane?" Asked a deep, tough, but calm voice. It was Argis the Bulwark, one of the dragonborn's personal housecarls.
"I'm fine, Argis." He replied. "I... I am just a little lost. I just... Don't know what to do. I saved everyone from the world eater himself, and other doomsday approaching them, but I feel like... Like I have. A greater purpose."
"really, what kind of purpose?"
"I don't know. That's just my point." Meeko whined with sympathy. "I got so many houses, I did many good things for people by Doug. Them special favors, but I want more."
Argis chuckled. "Don't worry, Luke." He said. "There is always a new adventure everyday. In fact, every new day is a new adventure."
Luke smirked "that's true. Oh, and another thing. Argis, Are you familiar with the blades?"
"I have. I thought they were long gone."
"me too, but there are two left."
"I know, you told me, Esbern and Delphine. Did I get those names right?"
"of course. The problem is they want me to kill Paarthurnax, my master to my other mentors."
"Oh that's right, you said your master was a dragon, right?"
"yes. He helped me so much in my fight against Alduin. He knows the way of the voice very well. I told the blades I would never do that, and then they banished me from the blades until I killed him."
"that is just not right."
"Now that I think if it, Arngeir and the Greybeards were right. They are no true helpers to me. The hubris of the blades doesn't have any limits after all."
"ah, you're probably better off without them."
"you're right." Then he got off the the chair with an idea. "That's it."
"what's that?"
"I have so many new friends with me that, and there are still some conflicts going on in Syrim and all of Tamriel." Luke clarified
"ah, you're going to start you're own blades instead of working with them?"
"that's exactly what I should do. Besides the blades are supposed to follow the Dragonborn. I am not supposed to follow them."
"exactly. That's my thane!" Argis said proudly. "I bring so much praise to you, Luke. You make me feel lucky to have someone to protect like you." He sipped a cup of nord mead.
"I know what I have to do now. Thank you so much Argis. And if you want to join my blades, you are more than welcome to.
"of course. Honor to you, my thane. And I thank you for that, but I don't know if I would want to join the blades, but in your case, I will do anything to protect you. I am your sword and shield."
the dragonborn was really flattered by this. "Good, but I still need someone to watch the house for me even thought you are a member already"
Argis chuckled. "Of course." Luke the. Went to his mannequin and put on his Dragonborn armor. Then he got his other weapons and items that consisted Miraak's sword, Molag Bol's mace, Wuuthrand, and other weapons for old time sake, along with Dawnbreaker and
"come on, boy. We're going to do some unfinished business." The dog barked happily and ran with his master out of the house
The dragonborn returned to Sky Haven Temple to meet with Delphine and Esbern. He went up the stairs and took a breathe before slowly opening the door. He saw Esbern reading out of the old library, looking quite fascinated.
"Esbern." Luke said flatly. "I want to talk to you about."
"ah, dragonborn. Has Paarthurnax served justice at last?" Said Esbern. Luke felt the anger and rage building up inside of him
"no, but listen-"
"I told you that you are no longer welcome here until Paarthurnax is dead."
"listen to me, it doesn't have to be like this. Besides,the blades are supposed to follow me as a leader, not the other way around."
"I know, but Paarthurnax must still die for the crimes he committed in the ancient times."
"are you sure there is no other way to change your mind?"
"no. I am afraid not. Now you must leave and take care of business with the dragon." The dragonborn had a blank look on his face and sighed.
"So be it." He finally said. Without him knowing, Luke drew Dawnbreaker and did what he thought is the most unexpected thing he had ever done before. He slashed Esbern straight through his neck, and his head flew across, landing with a loud thump on the floor.
"no." Said a voice from behind him. It was Delphine. "No!" She rushed over to Esbern's corpse and was completely horrified.
"what have you done?!" Delphine exclaimed. "How could you do such a thing?"
"you brought this upon yourself, Delphine!" Luke exclaimed. "You will never convince me to kill Paarthurnax!"
"you- you murderer!" Delphine shouted. She pulled out her double blades' swords and charge at him. Luke pulled out one of his favorited and strongest weapons, his powerful glass sword. "They both clashed and sliced and dodged at one another.
Meeko ran to the far side of the room so he wouldn't be killed accidentally.
Delphine did a scissor slice with her swords, but Luke dodged just in time before they could cut him
"after everything we do for you, this is how you repay us?!" Delphine yelled. Luke then sliced on her side and kicked her chin in an uppercut, causing her to briefly ragdoll backwards.
"that's rich coming from you Delphine." Luke remarked. He charged at her and did an acrobatic move at her by jumping over her and hitting his glass sword with hers. They gritted their teeth at eachother begrudgingly and Delphine parried Dawnbreaker out of the Dragonborn's hand. She almost sliced his face, but Luke retaliated by shouting "FUS RO DA!" At her, causing her to ragdoll again. It gave him time to recover Dawnbreaker and they clashed their blades once again.
"I expected more from you!"
"Au contraire." Then Delpnine kicked his face three times then she got her hair pulled really hardly in return. Her hair began to become loose. Turns out the band that was keeping it a ponytail had come off. The Dragonborn smash her head to the wall multiple times as he was grasping her hair, then Delphine knocked him to the ground. She was about to finish him off, but Luke recovered just in time and rolled out of the way.
The grudge match continued as Luke was fighting her fiercely, and the same thing for Delphine. They were in front of one of the three back doors and Luke slashed at Delphine's face, causing her cheek to bleed out.
"you call yourself a blade?! Huh?!" Luke shouted. Then he gave her a powerful kick to her chest, causing her to fall right outside with incredible force. They were pushing their swords against one another. "The blades should follow the Dragonborn, I shouldn't follow you!"
"you naive fool! The Greybeards are senile!"
"no!" Luke said while still fighting. "Esbern is the one who is senile, and you are a slutty has been just playing dress up in the legacy of the true Blades!"
those words made her raging made and charged at him with full zeal again. Is time, she was hitting harder and harder, but Luke didn't hold back. The Dragonborn knocked one sword off of her hand and left her to filing with only one. He punched her with his fists mercilessly, then without warning, he cut both her arms off, making her roar in agony and tears streaming down her face.
"I didn't want to do this, Delphine, but you left me no choice." Luke firmly said. He noticed that they were kind of close to the cliff and decided to just finish her.
Delphine was still sobbing on pain and begged "no! Please! Don't do this."
alas, Luke had no sympathy for her left, and ignored her.
"we only wanted to help you-!"
Without a second chance, Luke exclaimed "FUS RO DA!" Once more than Delphine screamed at the top of her lungs as she was falling from the mountain. Luke just watched her begrudgingly and was heard a faint thud down below.
"I'm sorry. You left me no choice." He said to himself. Then he sheathed his swords and pulled out his shield. Thus, with Esbern and Delphine dead, the Blades were no more. Or so it would seem.
Meeko came outside and went to his aid.
"you okay?"
the dog barked happily in reply
"good. Well, the deed is done. Now I want to create the blades how there are truly meant to be, and this time, I will teach them my way to be protect those in need of help in all of Tamriel." He looked at his surroundings. "So where should we go first?" Well, first thing's first, I might as well tell Arngeir, the other Greybeards and Paarthurnax that they will no longer be a problem and tell them that they were right all along." He has great support for his masters on the Throat of the World and knew that nothing could get in the way of his meditating with his mentors now.
Today was a new day in Skyrim. Yes, a new day for something that will benefit not all of Skyrim, but all of Tamriel too.
"come on boy. Let's go get Shadowmere and ride to Ivarstead." The dog was reall excited and he followed Luke out of the temple. When he mounted on Shadowmere a little distance away from he Forsworn settlement, they both ride to the small community.
