An: all conversation with Dragons or the Thu'um will be bold, also for any words of power I do not know I shall simply use bold as well.
June 18/2017. This story is currently on Wattpad, I am the real writer for this fic so please no messages about it being on both sites
Issei pov.
They say when you wake up after a near death experience, you usually appreciate life more.
I am not one of those people.
The only thing we agree upon is the near death experience part. Stirring from my sleep, I wake up in my bed, it was a basic full size bed. My room wasn't really small or to large. Few posters, a Xbox one (or Japanese version) and a 30 inch tv. Tha basics you know. But honestly I don't spend mutch time home these days, see my father was transfered in work, so for the next two years I'm alone in the house, and it can get kinda lonely.
As I went to get up I felt a weight on my chest, and my left leg as well. I look over there and quickly look away, blushing furiously.
The Crimson haired girl from last night was in my bed. And she was completely naked. She had her head laying on my bare chest. Her deep Crimson hair cascaded over the covers, her ample bosom pressed firmly on my left arm. As her legs were tangled with mine and her right arm was streached out over me hugging herself to me.
All in all, not a bad way to wake up.
Before I could do anything the girl next to me starts to shift, she then opens her eyes. She yawned cutely, and streached her arms over her head. Doing wonderful things to her breasts. She looked at me with a smile. She said
" good morning, how are you feeling?" I raised my eyebrow, but my reply wasn't sarcastic.
" about as well as you could expect. It's not the first time I have slept off a mortal wound, but it is the first one that involved a beautiful woman with me when I woke up." She smiled at the complament, it was obvious she liked the praise to her natural beauty. I then continued my words
" now to the matter at hand, who are you? Why are you in bed? And for the love of Talos why are we both naked!" My embarrassment took over at the end of the sentence. I may have slept with women before, but all the hormones of being a teenager again is messing with me.
'Dam you puberty!'
She just looked down at her boobs, she then said " well to answer your questions in order, 1) I am Rias Gremory, and I am a Devil." She spoke with utter confidence in her words. And as proof she manifested a pair of bat - like wings on her back.
'Well, this is interesting. I thought. 'So the people yesterday were fallen angels after all. In eather case I need to tred carefully with her. She may have saved my life but I don't know what she wants.'
"The answer to your second and third questions is that after I revived you yesterday, I had to heal your body. The best method of healing you involved skin on skin contact, so the best way was to sleep next to you in the nude." She stated matter of factly. Almost as if she had given this talk before.
I nodded my head, it made sense that if she could heal people by having contact with there skin, the best way to do it would be this way. But my mind snapped to a realization of one of the things she said, I then ask. " Sorry for all of the questions but, what do you mean by revived me?"
She seemed to get a little uncomfortable with the question, but she answered honestly
" I'm afraid I wasn't able to save your life yesterday. By the time I got there you were dead. But I was able to reincarnate you as a Devil."
She said a little timidly, it was rather cute. I smiled at her, hey I wanted another chance right? Well at least this way I won't be so rusty with my powers. I said
" relax Rias, I'm not mad. I'm going to make a guess that the strange person standing at the corner of the station handing out flyers yesterday worked for you?" Seeing her nod I continue " well then my next guess is that it was a summoning circle? " again she nods.
" and it activated when my blood touched the paper, causing it to react with my thoughts, thus summoning you to grant me a wish?"
She just stared at me, she said. " how do you know all this? Granted the information isn't really classified. But most people don't look this stuff up now a days."
I respond " true, but do you honestly think you and the Fallen angels yesterday were my first taste of the supernatural?" The waiting response to my statement was as expected. She raised her eyebrows, and held a skeptical visage about her.
Before she could say something I said " thank you Rias, you have completed my wish for another chance at life. If you don't mind, can you tell me the price for my wish is?"
My statement made her flinch a bit. She looked down with a guilty expression. This did not inspire confidence in me. She took a deep breath, and released it in a quick burst. " The price for a new life as a Devil. Is that you must serve the one who reincarnated you. I'm sorry."
...well shit. But maybe it won't be so bad, I mean in one day of getting my powers back I'm killed due to me not paying attention. If this works like I think it does then I'll be able to get back in shape. Nodding to myself I grab Rias by her chin, and I had her face me.
I said " I may have not chosen this Rias, but honestly it's not the first time I have served someone. As long as you promise me you won't harm innocent people, or anything of the sort, I'll serve you."
She seemed suprised, but not even three seconds later she smiled like a child at Christmas.
" Understood, and just so you know most of the things about Devils sacrificing children and the like is mostly superstition. In fact there are laws against such things." She stated matter of factly.
She then got off my bed, once again streached out her arms and walked over to my desk. Which apparently is where she left her clothes last night. As she began to dress herself, my mind wandered to my other life. All the adventures, all my friends, it was a good life. But I can't let the past control my future.
Rias snapped me out of my thoughts by waving her hand in my face. She said " You okay? "
She seemed worried about me, which is something I wasn't used to in a Master, servent relationship. Usually the Master just lords over the servent, even if the Master was a nice one. I should know after all before I went to Skyrim I was forced into servetude by a noble in the white-gold tower.
" I'm fine Rias, just remembered I'm hungry." Ironically my stomach decided to shout it's displeasure about being empty. I scratched the back of my head in embarrassment. She just giggled at me. I told her to go down stairs so I could take a quick shower.
Ten minutes later I am in my kitchen making a quick batch of eggs, bacon and toast. We both ate at a semi-fast pace considering school was a twenty minute walk from my house, witch starts in twenty-five minutes. So we need to haul ass.
By the time we got to school we had ten minutes to get to class. But our entrance was funny. Everyone was standing there looking shocked to see Rias and me walking together. Most of the girls were saying stuff like
"Eeeeh?! Why would Rias-onee-sama walk to school with that idiot that hangs out with those perverts!"
"I'm not to sure about him being a pervert, but I hear he was one of the best in the kendo club until he quit last year."
"Really? I thought he was in the Karate club?"
"That was only until about a week ago."
As you can see it was more gossip than anything. But for the boys...
" DIE BASTERD! !"
"Hyoudou, I'll kill you!"
I turned to the voices that shouted for my death (not the first time) to find both Matsuda and Motohama charging to punch me.
Reacting on my old instinct I duct under Matsuda's right hook, and pulled him into the path of Motohama's right jab. The result was both ending up in a heap in front of me.
Both pulled themselves together. While all the other students started to mumbling and muttering about me. I just looked at the idiots and said " You should know that next time I'll do more than stop your attacks."
With that said I got Rias an headed into the school. Before we parted ways she said " I will send someone to bring you to the club room during lunch. Please be ready for an introduction. Well see ya later. " She then left, heading to her own class. Her beautiful crimson hair flowing down her back and a rather seductive sway in her hips.
I shook my head clear of those thoughts, but another one was
Huuuugh... what is with me falling for redheads? First Aela now Rias.
Timeskip to lunch
History just ended, with all the knowledge I remember from my time in Skyrim this class became even more boring, in fact most of the things in school seem more mundane than usual.
A comotion came from the door, all the girls were crowding the person that walked in. I could tell by the Aura that the person wasn't human, most likely the person Rias had sent to fech me. Out of the throng of girls came the boy everyone called the prince of Kuoh Academy - Kiba Yuuto.
The boy was about my current age, he was blond, had a kind face and a slight feminine build, all in all the classic pretty boy.
As he neard me he said " good morning Issei, president Rias asked me to bring you to the club room for introductions. " I said nothing, I just stood up and followed him out of the room. As we exited the main school building we began to head to the old school building. I said.
" well, I can see that you guys have a good strategical veiw, after all if your HQ isn't in plain veiw than its harder to be discovered by the normal students. "
Kiba smiled as he nodded at me. We entered the building and went up the stairs to a room on the third floor.
He opened the door and walked in, I followed close behind.
Inside were three people, one was Rias, the second one was another girl that stood next to her. She was about the same age as Rias, with raven hair that was tied into a pony tail with a yellow ribbon high in the back, her face was what most could consider the perfect Japanese beauty.
The high cheek bones, the unblemished skin, and the calm Arua she seemed to release. Her physical atributes were also something to admire, large breasts, mile long legs, slender waist and wide hips. The perverted duo would have already passed out from blood loss.
The last person in the room was also female, she was short, almost like a 13 year old. But if she was in highschool she must be at least 15. She had white hair, and hazel eyes, her face was cute in a stoic way. In her lap was a bag of sweets. In fact she reminded me of a cat.
I remember there names, the brunette is Akeno Himejima, and the small one is Koneko Toujou. Both of them are very popular in this school, if my memory serves me right both Rias and Akeno are called 'the two great ladys of Kuoh Academy. While Koneko is the unofficial school mascot.
And by the feel of the room, all of them aren't human. The room looked like an old-fashioned Victorian living room. The chalkboard in the back of the room had a magic formula with strange runes, in the middle was a symbol.
Before I could ask about it Rias said " welcome back Kiba, thank you for bringing Issei here." Kiba just nodded and sat in one of the signal chairs. The only open seat was next to Koneko, as she sat on the couch. As I sat down she moved her bag of sweets over to the other side of her.
Understanding what she thought I said " don't worry Koneko, I don't really eat sweets. " She seemed to calm down, even though she has a nutrel look on her face she is just too cute.
Unconsciously I reach over and started to pet her head. Within a second her face went from stoic to happy as she started to pur and leaned into my hand.
Cat like indeed.
" Ara ara, usually Koneko doesn't open up so much to strangers, I wonder what makes you so special. " Akeno said as she handed Rias and the others a cup of tea.
When she offered me a cup I just shook my head. I could never drink the stuff, I guess my Nord blood didn't forget that even if my mind did. When she asked I said " Sorry Akeno, but tea doesn't agree with my digestive system. But if you have it I'd like a glass of water." She nodded and grabbed me a glass.
" here you go." She said. I smiled and said " thank you Akeno. " After she sat down next to Rias opposite of me and Koneko, Rias asked me
" so Issei, you said this morning that yesterday wasn't your first encounter with the supernatural? What did you actually mean by that?"
I thought of what to tell her, so I decided to give her half the story.
" I was traveling around Norway with my family one summer, seeing as my... father was going to be transfered there soon. "
She picked up on how I hesitated with calling my human father as such. I'm not sure why I did ether to be honest. Maybe I'm a little screwed up in my head from memory overload.
" well in one of the small villages in the area we stayed in, there was a legand. That once when the land was known by another name, dragon's ruled the world, they were said to be fragments of a long forgotten Pantheon of gods.
The chief god if I am correct. Akatosh, the dragon of time. Was the father of the dragons. His eldest son, Alduin. Took the world as his birthright, but he was too arrogant in his views of mankind. He misled his people, after generations of abuse the Nords of Skyrim. (The name of the people and the land respectably) formed a rebellion against there masters.
It was mellennia after his supposed defeat that he returned, and in a last ditch effort to save the world. Akatosh bestowed one mortal with a gift..."
As I looked at there faces, I noticed there rapt attention. They were on the edge of there seats. The most suprising being Rias herself. She had stars in her eyes and the expression of a kid does when they see there favorite superhero in a live action play. All in all she was adorable, although I didn't think she noticed how she was acting.
In any case I continued with my story. " well as I was saying, Akatosh gave a chosen mortal the soul and blood of a dragon. The person could not only speak in the language of Dragons, which if one was of certain blood, the language alows the speaker to bend the world to there could say three words and blast a mountain to dust, or kill an army of thousands with not but a whisper.
Hell, according to the legend the Dragons could revive other dead dragon's with there shouts. Well in any case the Dragonborn went to the Nordic afterlife in pursuit of Alduin, as he had traveled there to consume the souls of the dead. They clashed, they fought sword vs claw, Voice vs Voice. And in the end the Dragonborn gave his life to end Alduins reign of evil once and for all. "
They all looked at me, but Akeno was the first to speak . " so that's it?" I just smiled and said " not by a long shot. The real ending of the story is that Akatosh saved the dragonborn from Alduins final curse, but he was doomed to never walk the world again. So he asked his father to bless a certain artifact of his, his sword. Which was named after another Title of his. Dragon of the north.
With all his knowledge and skills, and powers, even his dragon blood and soul. He had it placed in his tomb, even if his body wasn't placed there it was the most well guarded tomb in the land. Well while my family was in that village I fell into a sink hole. And guess what I found? " a look of understanding crossed there faces. As they sat there I pulled at my magic, a white mist type of fog appeard in my hand. As I cast my spell, my sword fades into my hand.
" This is Dovahsebrom, and it is a blade that is hard pressed to find an equal. " I said as I showed them my blade. Kiba in particular showed a great intrest in the sword.
" This blade was Forged from the bones and scales of a legandary Dragon, Solakahnir. The only dragon to ever come close to the power of Alduin or Akatosh himself. This blade was blessed to control the elements, and be deadly to dragons and it will cause a devil serious pain. It can also channel my magic into it to unleash a powerful blast of pure destruction as we-. " before I could continue though Rias tackled me as she hugged me tightly. She began to gush about how happy she was about making me her servant.
Her expression of pure joy and happiness were so beautiful, even if she was a devil I thought of her as a angel. But I probably shouldn't say that to her out loud. But either way she was quickly becoming someone I cared about. Also the way she was laying on top of me was doing both wonderful and terrifing things to a certain part of my body.
...Dam you puberty! ( I need to stop saying that)
" Okay, okay Rias I think we get it, could you please get off me?" I asked while blushing slightly.
She seemed to snap out of la-la land as she looked at me, then to how she was sitting on me. Her cheeks were tinted light pink when she said " oh sorry Issei. " She didn't sound sorry though. If anything she sounded like vex does when she found a guy she wanted to bed.
Trust me when I say that is a SCARY thing.
She got off me and went back to her seat. The others were doing there best to not laugh at me, but they failed. So I decided to get back on topic. " so, any questions about my powers? " Koneko was the first to speak " what can that... shouting thing you do, do exactly? "
That was probably the first time I've heard her speak the entire time I've been here. I just smile mischievously and said " Fiem, zi gron."My body started to glow, and I turned blue as I became Eathereal. The others were dumbstruck as I walked to the door and out the room without opening it. As I walked back into the I turned back to normal as I sat down on the couch.
" anything else?" I said with a smug grin. Kiba was the one to answer. " you said that you found his sword in the tomb, did you find anything else? " He raised a good point, did I still have my other weapons or my armor?
Another spell came to mind, and my hand was covered in a blue mist. As I cast the spell, my favorite bow popped into my hand. I smiled as I held my father's bow to bear.
" This Kiba, is the bow of Auri-EL. The Human form of Akatosh. This bow when used causes extreme damage to any undead such as zombies, vampires and things of that sort. And if you used one of these arrows" I pulled out a sunhallowed arrow from nowhere. " to shoot at the sun, the effect it would cause would rain down holy light on any the user considered an enemy. " I noticed the shivers that went down there spines at the word Holy, but considering that there Devils I could understand.
I put the bow back into the pocket demension that my stuff apperantly was, and both my hand were shrouded in a crimson mist this time, when I cast the spell, a red energy glowed around me, after it settled down I saw I was wearing my old armor.
The chest piece was made of crimson dragon scales and ebony that mixed beautifully together, the shoulder pads were replaced with a black cloak that looked like the one from my Nightingale Armor. It was held on by two clasps ingraved with the dragon symbol of the Empire on the left and right pectoral muciles.
The hood was down and so was the face mask. The arms were covered in black cloth and dragon scales and ebony gauntlets with clawed nails for both better grip when climbing a building or clawing an enemy in a fight. The boots were made of the same material as the rest of the Armor. Last but not least was the shield mounted on my left arm, it was rather ornate, made out of dragon bone with carvings of the Dragonborn from Alduins Wall.
All in all the Armor would be right at home both on the fields of Battle and in court.
As the armor vanished with my dismissal I reached into the pocket demension once again and pulled out the last weapon I had. In my hands was a paired set of dragon bone daggers, both enchanted for chaos damage. And turn undead.
" and these twin blades, are fang, and talon. " I held the right one up then the left in order. " They both have the ability to cause either fire,cold, or electric damage to a target randomly when they cut them, as well as being extremely harmful to the undead. I mostly use them when stealth is in more demand then raw power of head on fighting. "
I put the daggers away and turn to Rias, she seemed suprised with what my options for combat and my equipment were, she then said " Issei, if you don't mind me asking, but if he left his soul in his blade and you have it now, then what happend to it?" I raised my eyebrow, I actually hadn't thought of that, how to lie, how to lie, oh I know.
"The simple answer Rias, is that his soul wouldn't have let me use his powers if there wasn't a connection between us in the first place. His soul, personality, and even mind were almost like mine in every way possible. So when I picked up the sword, our souls merged."
Everyone was stunned, and I couldn't blame them, In Tamrel the mere thought of two souls, one living and another dead merging into one like that was impossible to even comprehend. Akeno shakingly asked " what... exactly do you mean by that? "
I leaned forward, my eyes cold and my tone hollow I said " It means Akeno, that I have both the memories of myself, and the Dovahkiin in my head. That my body has subconsciously subpressed them until I was old enough and phisically strong enough to handle his powers.
It means that should I wish, I could use his twenty-five years worth of battle experience to literally rip apart an army should it threaten anything or anyone I hold dear to me." I smirked and then added lightly.
" It also means that I'm technically going through puberty a second time. " The group of Devils looked at me for a span of three-seconds before they all-minus Koneko- started to laugh slightly.
Rias seemed to realize that I changed the topic of discussion to one less serious, she then said " Well Issei, the thing is, if your powers were supressed then do you know why the Fallen Angels were after you? "
I shook my head and said " nope, not a clue. They said something about a, what did the blonde one say... oh sacred gear! Do you know what she was talking about? " She shared a look with the rest of the group, and they nodded. She was about to speak when a draconic voice beat her to it.
" I believe I can answer your question, partner. " as the voice spoke my left arm glowed, after the glow died down a red gauntlet was covering my left forarm. It was of the same design as the one my armor was, except it had a green jewel on the back of the hand and four yellow spikes on the sides. The voice spoke again, this time adressing us all.
" I am the Welsh Dragon. Draig, the red dragon Emperor! " The now identified Draig shouted proudly, I on the other hand, ( wasn't aiming for a pun there, and don't think it is funny myself ) was wondering how the fuck did a dragon get stuck in my hand of all places.
Draig then said " well, I never thought I'd ever have a partner that had the body of a Devil, yet the blood and soul of a dragon, let alone one who remembers the legands of Akatosh. This should definitely be interesting. "
I nodded and spoke the words of greeting. " Dreim, Yol Lok. It is a pleasure to meet you Draig, my human name is Issei Hyoudou, but my name in the Thu'um is Dov,Ah,Kiin." This seemed to suprise the dragon, but soon he started to laugh. " hahaha, now that is truly a rare thing, most Dragons today have completely forgotten about the Thu'um. Even the white one and I have forgotten our true names. And to hear you speak it as if it is your birth tounge is truly a novalty experience, i think we'll get along just fine. "
Third pov.
This is all just too much for Rias, the boy who she thought might have a sacred gear, who had summoned her when he was about to die, actually had powers from a lost Pantheon of gods, could speak a language that could potentially be able to destroy the city, and apparently held one of the thirteen longinus, and not only that but the Boosted gear?! The gauntlet that boosted the users power by double every ten seconds!
Rias began to wonder if this was a lucky find, or an omen of things to come. The odds were so beautifully impossible that it was histerical, no make that laughably insane. It had been an hour since that conversation with the Welsh Dragon. Draig seemed pretty down to earth to Rias, and he was easy to talk to. Although with his colaberation of Issei's story about his powers she knew that she would have to contact her older brother Sirzechs to gather information about them.
It was at that point that Akeno wispered to Rias that a stray Devil had been located, and the busty redhead let a predatory smile out.
If nothing else, she just found a good target for her stress.
CHAPTER END.
