Alduin flew through the air with sheer freedom. Relived that she had escaped the prison outside of time. Now she was even more free knowing exactly where the one bearing the similar ability is within her talons. Helpless and harmless as for the time. She knew he will stand before the dragon race once more, and so she shall deal with him before hand. She moved through the air freely as she thought she had won. To finally win the war she had waged among the humans, dragons, and traitors.

"E-Excuse me!" Shouted the man between her talons as she just huffed. He had no right to talk to her. She than felt him tap the back of her foot. "C-Can't we talk t-this out?" asked the cowardly human as he was obviously scared mindless. "I'm finished talking to your kind. After all we did you still revolted against our rule." she hissed as they flew closer to the ground. "C-Can we argue o-on the ground then?" He asked as she just gave an annoyed growl.

She had him right here and now. She could put him down gently or make him plummet from the clouds. It was a simple choice and she could easily choose the former. Though knowing the state the dragonborn is in currently she decided. She landed in a snowy clearing while tossing him some distance. "You run and I roast you alive."

Drakar complied with her threat and dusted himself off and walked in front of her. She watched each movement he made as he simply sat in front of her. "So you said something about a revolution?" He asked wondering what she had been talking about. Alduin nodded as she began to recall the events. "Us dragons and humans lived in harmony, dragons being kings and humans being servants." She said with pride remembering the great empire. "I reigned as an empress and ruled with a loose grip." She said, now confusing Drakar. "Then the dragonborn, a kinsman that has the soul of dova, but the body of man." She said staring at him, sensing the dragon soul within him. "And you said I was dragonborn? You gotta be kidding me. I've lived my entire life not knowing a thing about the "dragonborn"" He said crossing his arms and revived a surprised look from the dragon.

"Your own race doesn't praise you? You were the one who "freed" them from us thousands of years ago." She said with a slight frown. "Not that, but I find it ironic. You saved me from death by execution. Just because I crossed the border at a bad time to black marsh." He explained and revived a frown. She knew that the dragonborn was to be the emperor of the humans and rule as a monarch, but why was he to be executed? A king has a right to cross borders in his own kingdom.

She than observed his attire. Ragged clothes and foot wraps. "Are you at all of noble descent?" She asked only to get a laugh. "Sorry, but I wouldn't need to leave Skyrim if I was a noble." He said with a chuckle. She was extremely confused. She knew they couldn't see his soul, but he had to have come into contact with the amulet of kings at one point. "Have you ever touched the amulet of kings?" He reacted with obvious confusion. "Why would I want to? That's just asking for death." He said knowing nobody would buy or steal something so important to the empire.

Alduin just rolled her eyes as she now knew that the dragonborn was now a lost legend. In an odd way he seemed relatively harmless. Though just by looks he was more confused than she was. "Also, you said you "ruled with a loose grip". Was what you did that lean?" He asked remembering imperial history and the tale of the dragons.

The dragons ruthlessly killed and tortured thousands at a time until the human rose to strike them down. Drakar scratched his head in confusion with no major understanding of her intentions. She also stared with confusion as she nodded. "Housing, food, and work seems pretty fair ruling to me." She said with confidence. This troubled him slightly as he knew genocide and torture wasn't the best rule, but she had to be lying about this.

"Those are just the basics of human life. Not to mention you killed millions and enslaved the survivors!" He shouted and received a dangerous growl. "I rule how I see fit. I've never tortured or killed those who didn't deserve it!" She growled as she approached. Drakar knew this was stupid but he had an idea. "You want proof? Let's find a burial crypt. I can uncover something if I skulk long enough." He said only to get a disgusted look from her.

"You speak of grave robbing as if it's normal!?" She growled getting closer to him. The heat from her breath was signaling the preparation of flame breath. He took a step back and began to explain. "These aren't normal graves, their the graves of cursed nords that dragons denied their rest from a peaceful death!" He said with honesty. Alduin simmered down a little, but gave a growl. "Fine. In and out, you don't come up I'll assume your dead, or otherwise." She said with a grim voice.

Drakar nodded as they also arranged rules for each other. "So it's settled then, shall I give it one last gloss over?" He asked receiving a nod from Alduin. "First: In the even should dragons be resurrected, you will not raid or destroy settlements and engage in negotiation with mortals. In turn I or nobody else are legally obligated to hunt or slay dragons." He said with certainty as Alduin gave a nod. "Two: Dragons will not attempt to recreate events that happened centuries ago. Humans will not attempt to belittle OR become racist to dragons." Drakar said glancing up into the sky. "Third: My "Riding" privileges. No touching of scars, wounds, or the... base of you tail." He said with some confusion. Alduin gave a growl that suppressed his question quickly.

Once mounted up, Drakar noticed his extreme lack of gear and looked at Alduin. "Anyone outside the crypt will need your charms since I don't have any weapons." He said getting a annoyed growl. "Fine, no more than that then." She said as they took off.

(Drakar POV)

This is crazy. No, insane. I'm riding on the back of a legendary dragon. Hundreds of feet off the ground and I could see as far as the throat of the world. The view was stunning and took my breath away. The only way you could see something like this was on the highest peek in the Skyrim and yet, the movement, the air rushing past me. I felt so attached to the air around me, ignoring the bitter cold. I took a look at Alduin's body and noticed the multiple scars from past battles. She wasn't just powerful, but experienced and could kill even her own kind with ease.

I smiled as I saw the sun cradled between the crook of two mountains. It was obvious I was in love with the view as I heard Alduin snicker. "Your first time flying without plummeting to the ground?" Asked the dragoness as I just shrugged. "If I had known this was waiting for me, I'd hold the imperial wizards hostage to give me wings." I said as I watched the clouds pass under us. Alduin was now landing close to a place that I had taken noticed before.

What was it? Bleak Falls Burrow? We landed and bandits were already moving towards us. Alduin rushed off to take care of the archers and I charged a man with a war hammer.

I dodged a over head strike that dug into the snow and ice. I rammed my fist into the man's nose and ripped the hammer out of the ground. I slammed the metal head against his jaw and watched it bend and shatter unnaturally. Another one with a steel sword took a swing. I was in a bad position due to the weapon's weight. I quickly took an opening between his swings and slammed the end of the hilt into his stomach. I than swung up the head and made him nearly do a flip as the heavy weapon crushed his jaw from under.

I pulled the sword from the snow and turned my attention to Alduin. She was finishing up another bandit by roasting him while he squirmed under her talons. "Weak vermin. You joor must really have poor law with out us." She said looking at the charred corpse between her talons. It made me shiver at the fact that could have been him. I grabbed some armor from the corpses. After some fitting I looked at myself and smirked.

Hide and leather armor. He was always a fan of being sneaky, as it came with the title of thief. Alduin stared me up and down and I gave her a questioned look. "If your into humans than you need to find some else, or get me some stamina potions." I said sarcastically as she gave a threatening growl. "You insult me! I would never mate with a joor! Much less you!" She shouted, fire flaring up by the sides of her mouth. "It's a joke hot head. Learn to take a couple" I said before getting inside to avoid getting my behind roasted.

I was now inside the cavern. I crouched down at the sounds of voices and maneuvered my way toward a view point. Two, one male and another female. He grabbed a long bow from a nearby dead bandit, possibly killed by skever, and aimed two arrows. The minute he let them fly they dropped. He soon observed each body and grabbed their coin purses. He had also secured some more arrows and a chest. He than move around the halls, snatching up coins and potions if their of any use.

He than stopped at a bandit pulling a lever. Instantly he was shot up with poison darts and slumped onto the switch. I pulled him off of it and observed the room. Three symbols layed around, one collapsed on the floor in rubble. I looked over at some pillars and pushed them a bit to find a secret button, only to be surprised that they moved. I nodded and observed the symbols on the sides and then the symbols, including the broken one, and put two and two together. I arranged them accordingly and prepared to pull the lever and jump out of the darts at the same time. Once the lever clicked back a gate ahead opened to my relief. I walked through and slashed past some skever.

"Dir Vollan!" Shouted a ancient tongue as I dodged a swing from behind. I pivoted on my foot and rammed my sword into a dry corpse. I looked at it's face as the light from it's eyes slowly snuffed out. I released the sword and it dropped onto the ground. Seeing as the sword was stuck in it, I picked up his own and admired the still sharpened relic. The thing was known as draugr, ancient undead. I continued forward, killing anymore I found until I saw a mass of webs. I cut past them to encounter a screaming man. "Hey help!" Shouted the man as a giant spider dropped from a massive hole in the ceiling. It spit a web at me and I dodged it, only to find myself staring it down.

(Alduin's POV)

I tapped my claws on the ground waiting for the man. Why was I? His ancestors killed my kin and nearly killed me. I just grumbled as I really wanted to know what he meant by "torture and enslavement.". I never permitted such acts upon the humans. Not to my knowledge at least. I looked at the snow and it's gleaming crystals. I loved Skyrim's cold, yet beautiful weather. I looked around as I waited. I picked out the details in rock and the soft fall of the snowy climate. I than started convince myself he was dead. Shame, I would have loved to have know were those moronic lies came from before killing him.

I got off the ground and flung myself into the air. With the wind under my wings I breathed the sweet taste of the air around me. I loved this new sense of freedom and perhaps thanked those who imprisoned me to cherish my next kingdom more closely. I flew forward towards a burial of an old mate I had taken interest. He wasn't strong or cunning, but was adorable and young.

I landed to the burial site and looked at the stones the wrapped around the area. The human had celebrated his death. Each one of the dragons to be precise. I shouted my words of power into the grave and heard him roar to life and explode from the ground.

"Zu'u alok!" He shouted from the grave. I gave a soft chuckle as he glanced at me. "Alduin!? Empress I am grateful! I shall pay the humans back a thousand fold for this!" He said gratefully, but hissing at his defeat. "In due time dear Mirmulnir. For now we must plan." I said as he gave a low growl. He was already about to jump off on a killing spree, but I didn't want to resurrect him more than once.
