Chapter 3 A Dragon Through Time and the Escape
Alduin's POV
'Cold' is all I think as my wounds from the recent battle is coated in the freshly fallen snow of the Throat of the World. I don't know what happened, one minute I was fighting against a large uprising, then i was called out specifically by three Nords who where somehow trained in the way of the voice, after I arrived they used a shout that I had never heard of, it felt like it was ripping apart my soul and it forced me to land, after killing one of them a portal opened up and I wound up here lying in the snow.
"Damn those mortals" I growled out, all of a sudden I hear the familiar beat of wings i look up and see an aging gray dragon, Paarthurnax.
"Alduin Thuri it is a miracle to see you alive we all thought you were gone forever" said a surprised Paarthurnax.
" Do not take me for a fool Paarthurnax I know that you trained those mortals in the voice they had your accent" I said simmering in rage
" Tell me why I shouldn't tear you apart for your betrayal" I roared in rage.
"Calm yourself Thuri yes I taught them the voice but it was to bridge the gap between human and dragon I did not foresee them to start a rebellion" Paarthurnax stated calmly. after calming down he started to explain to me that i was thrown into the future because of a elder scroll and that the Nords were now in the control also the presence of a dragon soul in a mortal a new Dovakhiin.
" This Dovakhiin could be dangerous before I leave and resurrect our brothers and sisters I will go and deal with him" I told Paarthurnax before flying away. flying to the south I came upon a small village with a small wagon train heading into it then I saw him he had snow white hair that went down to his shoulders that had a small part of it dyed a rusty red color most likely from dried blood. he also was wearing mage robes that I had seen destruction masters wear, a clean shaven face and icy blue eyes that seemed to hold a massive amount of hidden power.
'weak' I thought as I examined him but slowly I started to admire his features more his strong muscled body that looked like it had been trained for speed unlike most Nords also the small scar that he had on his nose probably from a sword or dagger. suddenly I felt it a small pull that I realized was a long dormant mating instinct.
'No! I will not be a mate to a weak mortal' I thought in rage as I crushed the small pull and started to fly down to the village to destroy it and kill the Dovakhiin before he can become a threat. landing on the main tower I looked down to see the Dovakhiin laying down next a headless corpse.
'must have about to been executed' I concluded 'think of this as a slight mercy so that I may crush you later, it might even be a slight challenge' I thought before I let out a ferocious roar " Dovakhiin" the sky started raining down meteors at the strength of my Thuum I lifted off to continue to destroy this village as out of the corner of my eye I saw the Dovakhiin running into one of the towers.
Suleykaarliz POV
"Ulfric" I said as I realized who was pulling me up
"Suleykaarliz good to see you, although it seems every time were together something always go wrong" he said chuckling slightly
"Jarl Ulfric what is that thing, could the legends be true" Ralof exclaimed
"legends don't burn down villages" Ulfric said "can you guys get these bindings off" I called out to Ulfric and Ralof. Ralof quickly picked up a discarded dagger and cut off my bindings. as soon as they where off I instantly felt my magicka coming back and used a grand healing spell to fix the aching headache I had.
"As much as I would like to catch up we need to move now" Ulfric yelled at me and Ralof
"To the top of the tower there could be a way out" Ralof called out I wasted no time running up the stairs and encountering a stormcloak soldier trying to move the rubble out of the way, before I had the chance to tell him to move over so I could help the dragons head burst through the wall next to him instantly killing him.
She looked to me before before shouting out "Yol Toor Shul" suddenly a large jet of fire shot straight at me. I barley had time to cast a Greater ward as the heat from the shout washed over me she finished her shout and flew off most likely to go destroy more of the town.
I looked out of the opening she made and looked out to see a burning inn that looked close enough to jump into "We have to jump to the inn" I shouted and jumped over to the inn Ralof and Ulfric close behind me. We landed on the wood floor it was slightly smoldering no doubt from the dragons mighty fire breath. We jumped down through a hole in the second floor to the ground level. When I landed on the ground floor I saw a man on the ground bleeding out in the open area with a young boy trying to help him up.
"Haming you need to get over here now" yelled the imperial soldier from before who was holding the list.
"I'm not leaving my dad" the young boy yelled as he was trying to help his dad. as he was saying this I saw the dragon coming in to land in front of the father and son duo I quickly rushed forward and using a freeze spell I made a wall of ice between the dragon and the father and son right before the dragon let out another roar of fire breath. my ice was just able to hold being my magicka hadn't completely recovered from being sealed off and it was very hastily casted but it still did its job.
"Thank you mister" the young boy said "no problem" I said to him as I used a heal other spell on the boys father.
"He should be fine but you need to get him and yourself to safety" I told him. he nodded his head and helped his dad up as they retreated back to the inn. After my wall shattered I called to Ulfric and Ralof and we kept running through many alleys and open areas dodging meteors, dragon fire, and imperial soldiers, we finally made it into the keep.
"Finally" I called out as we made it to relative safety.
"Looks like were the only ones that made it" Ulfric said somberly
"What was that spell you used Suley" Ralof said I see he has already called me by a nickname i'm fine with it as my name is long but I still enjoy being called by my full name.
"That was a spell called freeze simple but very powerful it lets me freeze the water in the air to any shape I want it could be a wall, a shield, a sword, or I could freeze the air around you to freeze you in place" I explained.
"Creative, and I see you've already kept your promise" promise Ulfric stated. suddenly I heard the moving of heavy armor and a familiar voice shouting out orders.
"Quick against the walls" I said as the imperial captain was nearing the gate. hearing it slide open I sprung into action using icy spears to impale the two guards before finishing the captain off with an icy spear to the heart her heavy armor doing nothing to stop the sharp ice projectile.
"See if she has a key there is a locked door at the other end of the room it could be the way out" Ralof said as he was checking one of the imperial soldiers bodies. I started to check the imperial captains body finding the key that we needed to get out.
'convenient' I thought before yelling out to the others that I had the key. I quickly moved to unlock the door and we continued on through the keep moving down a staircase we saw a long hallway although when we started to approach it caved in on itself and we were forced to go through a small storage room. Inside the room was two more imperial soldiers seemingly looking for potions of some kind. one was taken out by a well placed ice spear another taken out by a clean cut through the chest by Ulfric.
"lets see if we can find the potions they where looking for" said Ralof as the three of use started to look for the potions, after finding some healing potions we went though the other door that let us out back into the hallway past the cave in we continue down the path until we heard the sounds of fighting after going down some more stairs we walked into a torture room that had two fellow stormcloaks fighting against what looked like a torturer and his assistant. After a quick ice storm spell the torturer and his assistant where frozen and the Stormcloaks thanked us saying that they where going to help any other survivors that they saw. We quickly continued down the path finding more cages filled with skeletons and dead Nords eventually finding a hole in the wall that we quickly moved through. We came across a opening with four imperial soldiers two with swords and another two on the other side of the clearing with bows. I started to launch icy spears at the two with bows while Ralof and Ulfric engaged the other two with their axes one of the archers got a lucky hit on my shoulder before I reflexively shot an icy spear hitting him in the head with it I fired another one and hit the other archer in the chest.
With both of the archers down I turned and looked to see that Ralof and Ulfric had handled the other two soldiers I ripped the arrow out of my shoulder before healing it with grand healing 'great the first of many" I thought as I saw that it left a scar the size of a small Septim in my shoulder. 'That's what I get for not being careful' I thought I decided that this was the time to cast my ice armor spell it was experimental so I was hesitant to use it but, it could help in the long run it acted like a continuous ebonflesh spell for the exchange of constantly draining magic it had the plus of freezing whatever hit me.
We continued down the path as we were crossing a bridge a massive rock fell and destroyed it just as we had crossed. We continued to follow the path that eventually bled into a river as we walked down it shifted back into a actual pathway. We went down a corridor before finding another opening in the cave that was covered in spider webs. Suddenly frostbite spiders started pouring into the room Ralof and Ulfric imminently drew their axes and I redyed an ice storm spell after firing of spells and slashing away with axes eventually we cleared them all out. continuing on the path we came upon a sleeping bear seeing no need to bother it we sneaked around it, Just after the bear we saw the cave opening up we walked through the opening and out into the cold evening air.
"Okay now that were out how about we catch up old friend" I said looking to Ulfric
