The World Eater's Redemption Chapter 2
A/N: Hello, everyone! Here's chapter 2 of The World Eater's Redemption for you guys to enjoy! Keep in mind that I do update as I continue to write the chapter that I'm working on. So if you see that my story is getting longer/a chapter is changing every 5 minutes, don't worry about it. As always, reviews and constructive criticism (such as what I can improve, grammatical errors, etc.) are welcome, but no flames are allowed. All flames will be used to fuel the pits of Tartarus.

The moment Eclipse walked into Whiterun, all hell broke loose. The guard standing at the gates ran away screaming his head off as soon as he saw Eclipse carrying the World Eater over his shoulder. The Dovahkiin groaned out loud, but kept on walking towards Breezehome, ignoring everyone else's yells of terror and disbelief. He did not have the time or patience to explain anything to the people of Whiterun.
He opened the door to Breezehome and set Alduin down on the ground, gently nudging the pint-sized World Eater inside with his foot. Eclipse followed soon after, closing the door behind them, and lighting a few candles for some extra light. He then took off his ebony boots, setting them down by the door. The Dragonborn walked over to the mirror that he had placed above the bookshelf, scraping off a lot of the dust that had accumulated on the reflective surface ever since he had last left Whiterun, which was almost two weeks ago.
Eclipse grabbed his steel plate helmet and, for the first time in over month, he took it off. His normally short, straight strawberry-blonde hair was matted down with sweat, making it a dirty blonde in color. His dark sky-blue eyes were slightly narrowed into the beginnings of a glare, but he adjusted his facial expression to a calm, passive one. His lightly-tanned skin was an unusual characteristic, considering the fact that he was a Redguard.
Eclipse turned around to face Alduin, who was currently gazing around the room. The Dovahkiin had almost forgotten that his worst enemy was inside his house. How in the name of Oblivion he could have forgotten that a vicious, fire-breathing dragon was inside his house, Eclipse would never know.
Alduin stopped looking around the room as soon as he noticed the Dragonborn staring at him. The World Eater snarled, "What are you looking at me for, pathetic human? Just be thankful that I have not burned down this pitiful little wood shack that you call a home!" Alduin showed off all of his teeth, and growled in an attempt to intimidate Eclipse.
Needless to say, the desired effect never came, considering that Alduin was now the size of a large dog instead of being the size of a house. Eclipse just rolled his eyes, scooping up the mini-sized World Eater onto his shoulder.
Alduin gave a yelp of protest, but when he saw Eclipse's glare of pure malice, the tiny dragon went silent. If looks could kill, that glare would have made the World Eater spontaneously combust/explode.
Satisfied that Alduin had finally shut up, Eclipse walked up the stairs, took a curve to the right, and entered his room. The Redguard's bedroom was modest, with a few decorations set up on the walls, and some pieces of furniture still in the exact same position that they'd been in when they had been delivered to Breezehome. Next to Eclipse's bed was a large basket that contained a blanket and some fluffy pillows.
"I originally bought this for a dog that I wanted to buy for a pet, but since you're stuck with me for a while, then you might as well have a comfortable place to sleep," the Redguard said as he placed Alduin inside of the pet-bed. "Now stay there and go to sleep, alright? I'll be over there by the door if you need anything. Goodnight, Alduin," Eclipse told the World Eater as he blew out the candles that lit up the master bedroom.
The room grew dark, and Alduin hesitantly laid down, curling up like a dog, and closed his eyes. Soon, all that could be heard from the World Eater was the sound of a dragon snoring lightly.
Eclipse sat on one of the chairs by the door, holding Dragonbane in his lap. Since he had the blood of a werewolf, he figured that sleeping wouldn't do much good, anyways. Tonight, though, something felt different to the Dragonborn. Everything was a lot more relaxed, and he didn't feel like he needed to stay awake. After a long internal argument with himself, he hesitantly got into his bed, pulling the covers over his body, and fell asleep for the night.
A/N: Sorry if this chapter is a lot shorter than what I usually do! I just felt like ending the chapter where it did. Anyways, reviews and constructive criticism are welcome, but don't just flame me. I'll see you all later! Ciao!~
