"The Dawnguard has armored battle trolls that they use when fighting vampires."
Chapter 1: DawnGuard.
The snow poured down heavily on the city of Winterhold as people tried to take shelter for the night or the guards switched out for their evening shifts. The snow poured down so heavily on the Hold, that no one could see a thing in this weather.
"LOK...VOOR KOOR!" someone Shouted into the air, stopping the snowstorm and revealing a beautiful night sky. The Shout, came from The College of Winterhold.
"Good job Gajeel!" a female Nord with blue hair said while looking at the sky "I can't believe it, there actually is a sky."
"Gihihihi." Gajeel Redfox, the one who released the Shout laughed "Been so long we've seen it, huh Levy?" the blue haired Nord called Levy smiled at her husband; yes, husband. The story behind these two is quite a facsinating tale.
About four months ago, Gajeel Redfox was facing execution for crimes he didn't even commit; but it changed when a dragon named Acnologia, attacked the city of Helgen. Gajeel managed to escape with his life and soon discovered he was Dragonborn, someone born with the blood and soul of a dragon and not only capable of taking the souls of dragons, but was also gifted with the ability of using Shouts like dragons. It had been three months since Gajeel slayed Acnologia and a lot had changed since then. He married his Housecarl Levy, immediately after he slain Acnologia, moved into a house that was up for sale in Whiterun and now, was taking one day at a time. Since he slayed Acnologia, he hasn't had much adventures like he used to. A few petty bountys here and there that resulted in him almost losing his life and getting a crappy pay in the end. So, since there wasn't much to do, and the house was beginning to get cramped, Gajeel decided to grant his wife's wish and have them both sign up for The College of Winterhold.
That was an adventure they literally didn't expect. Certain events occurred at the College which eventually lead to Gajeel becoming the new Archmage (and he didn't even want that responsibility!). But now here they were, a week after Gajeel was crowned the new Archmage of The College of Winterhold, looking at the night sky from the rooftop of the school.
"It's so beautiful tonight." Levy admitted.
"Yeah," Gajeel grumbled "but fuck, it ain't as gorgeous as you." a blush crept up on Levy's cheeks and Gajeel leaned in to kiss his wife.
"ARCHMAGE!" screamed Gran Doma, the man responsible for the classes "We have a dire emergency!" Gajeel broke off the kiss and growled at Gran Doma.
"The fuck you want pal?!" Gajeel growled "I was gonna get some here!"
"We had reports of anomalies near Riften." Gran Doma explained.
"And what the fuck should I do about it?!"
"We need you to handle it as soon as possible, it's side effects from the Eye of Magnu-"
"You should've thought twice about bringing that Godsdamned thing in the college and having that fucker of a Thalmor here! Thanks to you guys I gotta clean up the mess!" Gajeel took a deep breath and breathed out "Just give me the location and the Mrs. and I will go after it first thing tomorrow." Gran Doma nodded and walked back into the college.
"Godsdamn it." Gajeel groaned "I hate it when someone is killing the mood."
"Well," Levy sighed "that's what we have to deal with until we get a new house."
"Yeah, sucks we can't get a new place."
"I mean, I want a home with my own library, a bit more private, and is not so cramped!"
"I want a training ground." sighing, Levy began to walk to the door.
"Let's go in Gajeel, it's getting late, we need to be in The Rift first thing tomorrow." nodding, Gajeel went into the college and joined his wife in their slumber.
"Fuck where's this anamashit?" Gajeel grumbled as they treaded through the forest.
"I think you mean, anomaly dear." Levy sighed.
"Yeah, that shit. So where the hell is it?" an odd sound suddenly ripped through the air before they looked up and found a blue portal right smack in front of them.
"That must be it." Gajeel pulled the Staff of Magnus out of his inventory and pointed it at the anomaly "Ok babe, bring out the weapons, time to kick some weird shit's ass." Levy nodded and pulled out her best swords. Gajeel began to attack the anomaly. Magical wisps started coming out of the anomaly.
Levy swung and attacked each one, doing her best to protect her husband. As Levy stabbed the last one, Gajeel managed to gain enough Magicka to close the anomaly once and for all.
"Thank the Gods." Gajeel puffed "That was- what the fuck?!" Gajeel suddenly pulled out his war hammer and blocked an attack. He looked at who attacked him and was shocked. It was a human in light armor; but there was something different about this human. Their eyes were an orange yellow, bordering red. Their skin was pale and their face was distorted into something ghastly; it wasn't a human, but a vampire.
"Die mortals!" one vampire hissed "The tyranny of the sun will end once and for all!" the vampire backed up and suddenly began to use a magic that made Gajeel feel like his health was being sucked away.
"What's up with these guys?!" Gajeel panted. He began to run over to the vampire and put his weapon behind it and bashed his head against the vampire's ,breaking it's skull and killing the un-dead creature. Levy ducked underneath the vampire she was dealing with and stabbed it in the back then the heart. She watched the vampire fall to the ground, dead.
"Are you ok Gajeel?" Levy asked her husband.
"Was gonna ask the same thing gihi." Levy suddenly pulled out two potions and drank one. A white-gold aura surrounded her and took effect.
"Take this Cure Disease potion for safety. Vampires carry Sanguinine Vampiris, and if left untreated you'll turn into a vampire within three days." heeding his wife's warning, Gajeel took the potion and the same thing that happened to his wife happened to him.
"What were those vampires doing out here?" Levy asked out loud "Vamparisim is illegal in Skyrim and normally, vampires don't come out of their hiding places. So what were they doing out in the daylight?" Gajeel began to search the corpses for any clues and found none.
"I ain't got anything on their bodies." Gajeel grumbled "But I remember the one I was fighting said 'The tyranny of the sun will end once and for all!' or something like that I don't know what the fuck."
"The tyranny of the sun? That sounds bad. We better head to Riften and warn the guards to be safe."
"Agreed Shrimp, while were at it, find out what the fuck is going on with these damn vampires." nodding to her husband's idea. Gajeel and Levy pulled out their map and Fast Traveled to Riften.
Levy and Gajeel spoke with the head of the guards in Riften and told them everything about what happened.
"Thank you for warning us." The head of the guards sighed "I will send a warning to the other Holds and get more guards on patrol." Levy and Gajeel smiled.
"Thank you sir." Levy smiled so brightly it would give the sun a run for it's Septims.
"Come on babe," Gajeel said while putting an arm around her "Let's go figure this all out." as they began to walk out of the Guard's barracks, they suddenly overheard two guards talking.
"I've noticed these vampires have been becoming a real problem lately." one guard said.
"Thank the Gods the Dawnguard had been reformed." the other said "I've been thinking about signing up to fight against these vampires." Levy's eyes widened at those words.
"The Dawnguard is back?!" she said surprised.
"You heard of them?" Gajeel asked surprised.
"Yeah, they were vampire hunters in the past. They were disbanded due to corruption. Them coming back at a time like this doesn't seem like coincidence to me."
"Where can we find these corrupt bastards?"
"They used to have a fort called Fort Dawnguard in Dayspring Canyon, so I'd check there." with that, said Gajeel and Levy left Riften and began to make their journey to DaySpring Canyon.
They arrived in a beautiful canyon where nature was completely undisturbed, a beautiful waterfall was flowing and butterflies flew around the canyon.
"It's beautiful!" Levy said in awe "I've never seen anything like this!"
"I gotta admit though," Gajeel grumbled "fucking place is bright as hell, no vampires are coming here any time soon." just as they walked the path, they looked up and found a stone fortress "Damn. Can imagine the Library in that dump, gihihihi." as they walked the path up to the fortress, an Orc was practicing his aim on a crossbow.
"Never seen you two around." the Orc mumbled when he saw them.
"Well no shit, first time we've ever been here." Gajeel growled.
"Gajeel..." Levy warned.
"Heheh!" the Orc laughed "I like this Nord. If ya here to sign up for the Dawnguard, speak with Arcadios; he's inside." nodding, the two Nords thanked the Orc and made their way into the Fort.
The Fort was very large on the inside and showed signs of age; but also of recent repairs. There were cobwebs all over the building, sunlight shined from above, torches were lit, and a tall Redguard with an odd looking nose, wearing armor meant for members of The Dawnguard was standing in the center of the main room. No doubt about it, this had to be Arcadios. Just as Levy was about to greet the Redguard, she was shocked to see his face turn into disgust.
"Why are you here, Darton?" Arcadios growled "The Vigilants and I were finished long ago." Gajeel and Levy looked behind themselves and found an older man, possibly a Brenton with odd shaped eyebrows, walked over to the Redguard.
"You know why I'm here," the man called Darton replied "the Vigilants are under attack everywhere. The vampires are much more dangerous than we believed."
"And now you want to come running to safety with the Dawnguard, is that it? I remember Keeper Kama telling me repeatedly that Dawnguard is a crumbling ruin, not worth the expense and manpower to repair. And now that you've stirred up the vampires against you, you come begging for my protection?"
"Arcadios, Kama is dead. The Hall of Vigilants... everyone... they're all dead. You were right, we were wrong. Isn't that enough for you?" Levy's eyes widened, The Vigilants of Stendarr were a group dedicated to stopping all Daedra Activity, and Levy admired them for that! But now hearing the news that they were destroyed, really shocked her.
"Yes, well..." Arcadios said in an unsure tone "I never wanted any of this to happen. I tried to warn all of you... I am sorry, you know." Darton nodded and left to go sit down. Arcadios looked at Gajeel and Levy, unsure what to say.
"Who the hell are you two and what do you want?" he asked.
"We're here to join the DawnGuard." Gajeel growled at the taller being "We've had a run in with those vampires and my wife and I wanna kick some vampire ass." Arcadios laughed very heartily.
"I like your style. Ok, you both are in. Your first test as members of the DawnGuard is to head to Dimhollow Crypt. Brother Uosuke told us that the vampires have an ancient artifact buried deep under there and they're going after it."
"And you want us to get it before them?" Levy asked, Arcadios nodded.
"If it means avenging my fallen comrades and teaching those vampires a lesson, then you need to find out what they're up to."
"Fine by me." Gajeel grumbled "Come on Shrimp."
"W-wait! Gajeel!" Levy asked suddenly. Gajeel stopped in his tracks and looked at her.
"What?" he asked.
"What about The College? Shouldn't we tell them we stopped another anomaly?"
"Eh. Screw them. They can wait a while, this is more important. Let's go!"
"Wait!" Arcadios suddenly called out. The two Nords looked at him in a questioning manner "Here's your crossbows. They're standard for members of the DawnGuard, beats those vampires when they're running to you." Gajeel smirked, took the crossbow and gave it a shot, he had been improving his archery skills the past few months and with one shot, got a bulls-eye.
"Not bad." Gajeel smirked. Levy gave the crossbow a try and like her husband, got a perfect shot.
"Thank you for these" Levy thanked Arcadios "We'll head out to Dimhollow Crypt right away." Arcadios gave her a smile.
"What I like to hear." he said.
