Prologue
16 years ago (4E 210)
Light all that I could see was light, I have suceeded were others have failed Alduin has been defeated and my journey across this frozen land has ended. But something is bothering me more than Alduin had ever done, what do I do now? I have defeated miraak, ended the tyranny of the sun, made friends, made enemies it seems to me that I have done all there is to do, as the blinding light begins to fade I begin to reminise I started this adventure as nothing more than a prisoner bound for execution at the hands of a falling empire. Now I am a hero to my homeland I hold great power a gift from the gods but throughout my adventures I always found A tang of lonliness I had companions yes but never did i truly have a friend that is until I met Metyra a breton skilled in stealth, archery and creative use of the dagger and sword,he was nothing more than a thief a cutpurse when I caught him trying to steal from me I was about to berate him for disturbing my morning (yes i wasn't to bothered about the act we all have to make a living) as I looked into his eyes he burst out laughing and something about the event made me also laugh and to my own suprise he asked me if i wanted to go for a mead and of course i agreed that was the start of our freindship He was the first person to recognise me for who i am not as being the dragonborn of legend where others would worship me, he would criticise me on my posture or fighting style to the shock of onlookers he was my one true friend in a country that loved me. When the light faded fully I was greeted my snow and cold and to shouts of 'Alduin thuri' from the assembled dragons as I looked around the summit I was greeted by my mentor, the dragon by the name of Paarthurnax he seemed happy that his brother had been defeated but he also began to speak in a voice that was not his own. ''The tale of the dovahkiin is now over and the die is cast once more a new journey shall begin 16 years from now when the dovahkrin meets a child of shadow with a great burden good shall be uncovered from behind a veil of black a war is approaching were the fate of man mer and beast shall be held in the balance as a great evil rears its head to bring the dominion of man crumbling down'' The old dragon paled and spoke with a quite demeanor ''a new prophecy I must meditate dovahkiin'' with a final roar he took to the air to say i was shocked was an uderstatement I practically fell towards the path down the mountain and i jumped as a great red dragon landed in front of me ''Drem yol lok Dovahkiin'' ,proclaimed Odahviing, I am sure you are as puzzled as I at the old ones prophecy please dovahkiin ask any questions you have it is imperative you know as much as you can about this prophecy'' I thought of a question as many emotions swum and jarred inside my skull ''what does Dovahkriin mean'' I asked at last,
Odahviing chuckled ''Dovakriin in your tongue means Dragon child as in child of the dragon your child Dovahkiin'', ''What!'',I gasped suprise obvious in my words ,''I dont have a child Odahviing...,not yet,'' the last part was almost silent secretly a son or daughter was what I wanted the most but yet there was only one women I ever showed any affection for but our child would be shunned by society a half nord half dark elf child would be prejudiced in skyrim. I was awaken from my thoughts as Odahviing shouted startling a shadow behind the rock ''What are you doing here Dovahkiin PahlokFahdon (Arrogant friend of the dovahkiin) you are not welcome upon the summit'' Odahviing shouted as Metyra skulked from behind a rock,''How long have you been there Metyra'' I exclamed, ''long enough,'' Metyra stated humour evident in his voice, ''Radior do you suppose we could leave the mountain I am freezing my arse of here'' I had to laugh Metyra had a knack for getting me into trouble with the dragons but he also had a knack for lightening the mood. ''We best go Metyra,'' I have things to think about and I think Brelyna has irritated the greybeards beyond recompense at this point'' I explained as we began the trek down to high hrothgar.
