Mason backed up in shock upon her opening her glowing eyes allowing her to hit the floor.

She gasped in more so irritation than pain "You sure know how to make a first impression don't you?" she spat however Mason saw no true venom in her words.

"I'm sorry, here let me help you." Mason outstretched his hand which the woman brushed away and brought herself to her feet.

She looked around her brow furrowed, she was evidentially confused by her surroundings and finally asked "Um, I don't remember this place looking like this…..um who is high king of Skyrim right now?"

Mason now was confused by her question but he answered "Well Jarl Elisif has recently won the right to high queen after a recent civil war…"

The woman stared in disbelief "I've never heard of a Jarl Elisif and a civil war? By the eight… how long was I in there?"

Mason stared in disbelief but he came to the realization, the eyes and now this, it all made sense now "You….You're a vampire!"

The woman stared at Mason who now had a hand on his sword. "Wow it took you that long? No matter, I need your help, my name is Serana."

Mason looked at Serana as he warily removed his hand from the hilt of his blade. He took a second as Serana stared at him expectantly. "Alright what do you need help with? Also you can call me Mason."

Serana smiled at Mason's response "Aww that's such a cute name!" she smiled playfully.

"Yeah I've heard it before now what do you need help with?"

Serana looked at him "Well since you're not in the mood for conversation…." She began "I need you to take me home it's a place of the northwestern coast of Solitude."

Mason looked at her and after a minute gave her his response "Alright you've convinced me, but you should know… If you so much look at me funny you'll wish that you never left that coffin." And with that he turned on his heel and started heading back the way he came when he suddenly froze.

'What is his problem?' Serana thought to herself as Mason wiped his face and started moving down an alternate path seemingly enthralled by something "What is it Mason?" she asked now concerned by his rapid movement she now was jogging to keep up.

Mason didn't answer all he heard was a word whispering in his head, a word he needed to see, a word in the dragon tongue. It mesmerized him, it felt like a gentle whisper that soothed him as he went, he needed to read it.

Serana stared at Mason as they moved she now having come to the conclusion her savior was insane. 'What is he doing?' she thought as they entered a chamber complete with a puzzle gate and draugr. Serana watched as Mason effortlessly dismembered them and opened the gate 'He isn't stopping, what has him like this?' she asked herself when they entered what appeared to be an enormous auditorium with a large wall adorning the center , Mason was making a beeline to that strange wall.

Mason smiled as he felt the rush of wind surge around him as the word glowed as the 60 previous had. The word grew brighter and brighter the word ringing through his head, until in an instant it all stopped and Mason smiled.

"Gaan." Mason whispered as Serana stared at him.

"What?" she asked "How did you read that?"

Mason looked at her and it dawned on him "Oh sorry, I'm Dragonborn so thi-" he was cut off by Serana.

"Dragon what?" she asked.

"You don't know about the Dragonborn?"

"No never in all my years."

Mason furrowed his brow as he thought of a brief explanation "I have the soul of a dragon and can read and speak their language."

"That's….Incredible" Serana breathed.

Mason looked indifferent "Yeah it's fun but…"he gestured at a small light peeking through an opening in the cave wall "Don't we have somewhere to go?"

Serana looked hurt by Mason's lack of interest to her but she took in a breath "You're right let's go vampire hunter." She spat.

"Fine by me…Vampire." Mason retorted as they exited the cave and headed to Mason's new horse.

Mason looked at Serana before saying "Wait here if you move or touch my horse I'll kill you." And with that he headed back into the cave.

Serana looked at her savior pondering on whether or not she should steal his horse when her thoughts were interrupted by Mason lugging a large body from the cave.

Mason said nothing and proceeded to place the body on a bush and say something in a tongue Serana didn't recognize.

"Aal him sil siiv drem." Mason smiled as he lit the bush and body on fire. "Good bye Tolan." Mason said sadly then in an instant turned on Serana. "Let's go I've had it with this place."

Serana had no reason to argue as Mason mounted the horse and offered a hand to her, which jerked her up more rough than she'd have liked. However Serana found herself strangely drained and in seconds slumped onto Mason's back in a deep sleep.

Mason looked back and frowned "Great now I have no one to talk to… I shouldn't have been such a jerk this wasn't her fault." He muttered to himself now alone with his thoughts. 'Who cares about her she's just a pretty face.' He thought to himself yet he didn't feel that way as they slowly trotted and Serana murmured something in her sleep.

Mason looked back but not enough so she would fall off the horse. 'Why me?' He thought as the horse carried on it's path Mason leaned on the horse's mane realizing how tired he was. "Hey buddy, I hope you know where we're going because I need to sleep." And with that Mason passed out.

Mason once again found himself in the field but this time it was in flames. Mason drew his sword as he searched the sky fear in his eyes. He surveyed the carnage and turned around facing her again, her face once beautiful now scarred and burned.

"Why Mason? Why?" she said softly. Mason's voice was caught in his throat there was so much he wanted to say to her but he couldn't find the words.

He looked up and this time Alduin stood behind her. "Geh Dovahkiin why did you allow her death? You always let down the ones who are closest hm?"

Mason screamed at Alduin "I killed you stay dead!" He turned his attention to the girl "And you, you died eight years ago why are you here!?"

Alduin made what seemed to be a smile "No Dovahkiin I am not dead… as long as you live I will survive."

Mason awoke when he hit the ground hard. "Gah what the-" he was cut off by Serana landing breast first in his face.

"Hey!" Serana yelled.

"Don't flatter yourself you fell on me." Mason countered.

"Oh flatter myself you didn't seem to mind my breasts in your face." Serana spat and Mason smirked as he got up and offered his hand.

"Well you wouldn't be wrong." He smirked as Serana grabbed his hand. Mason almost shuddered her hands were as cold as the snow.

Mason now took the time to stretch and look around he knew where he was now.

"We're at Northwatch keep." Serana noted that Mason shuddered upon stating their location but was immediately distracted by a castle looming in the distance.

"There's my home."

Mason stared at her "You never said you lived in castle…"

Serana smiled revealing her fangs "I didn't want to complete the damsel in distress look."

"Alright then, let's get you home vampire." Mason began towards a small dock complete with a dingy.

"Get in."

"You actually think that will float?" Serana asked.

"Well if it doesn't I have you as a life preserver." Mason smirked at her glare at him.

Serana begrudgingly entered the dingy as they began their short boat ride to the castle.

Serana almost jumped to the castle gates when they reached land her dislike of boats now apparent. "Welcome to Castle Volkihar vampire hunter." She smirked as Mason stared in awe.

Finally Mason looked at her his face changed as he spoke "I'm sorry for being so rude to you." He began Serana staring at him in shock "It's just I lost a friend to your kind and I had to put the blame somewhere you know so I'm sorry" he finished.

Serana gawked at Mason as he spoke and replied "It's okay I understand Mason and I'm sorry about your friend."

Mason smiled "Alright princess let's take you to daddy." He smiled his tone more playful this time.

Serana made an exaggerated curtsy "Why thank you milord." She smiled as they made their way to the main gate but were halted by the gate guard.

"Stop right there nobody gets in….by the eight Serana is that you?"

Serana stepped forward "Yes I'm home and ready to see my father." And with that the gate clanked up and the guard had the door wide open. Mason walked cautiously behind Serana he didn't trust this place as far as he could throw it.

Serana was greeted in the grand entrance by a high elf whose vampirism began to deform his body making it seem bat-like. "Milady you've returned come Harkon must see you!" he said as he bowed amazingly low. Mason smirked 'I never knew high elves could bow' he thought to himself.

His thoughts were cut off by the elf yelling "Our lady Serana has returned!" which was met with roars of approval and excitement, Mason rushed to the grand room and almost vomited at the sight of vampires feeding on tens of bodies. He walked slowly down the stairs with Serana when he felt a power of likes he never felt before or since Alduin.

He looked and was amazed that the source of the power was a man who bore a remarkable resemblance to Serana down to the glowing eyes.

"Serana you've returned! And excellent you even brought my Elder Scroll with you." The man whom Mason guessed was Harkon began.

"Yes father I have the scroll glad to know you cared about me." Serana snapped.

"Oh you misread me daughter I'm ecstatic of your return!" Mason smirked he could tell the bastard was lying.

"Would you care to tell me who your savior is Serana?" Harkon continued.

Mason stepped forward "I'm Mason and I can introduce myself."

"Well thank you for saving my daughter I believe a reward is in order." Harkon replied with a cold smile.

"My blood I can make you a vampire lord."

Mason stared at him "Sorry but the werewolves beat you to it." Mason sneered.

"Ha I knew I smelled a dog but I can change even that with my blood, perhaps you only need convincing? BEHOLD MY POWER!" Harkon's body began to violently convulse as a new hideous form ripped from his body and Mason was overwhelmed by the power he felt.

"So Mason, will you join me?"

Mason sneered defiantly "Never." He stated.

Harkon sneered "Then you are banished from this castle you only are leaving because you saved Serana tell your friends if they wish for war…they have one." With that Harkon waved his hand and the room began spinning so disturbingly quick Mason almost blacked out.

When the room stopped spinning Mason was outside Fort Dawnguard. Mason looked and knew he had to warn Isran and sprinted into the fort.

"ISRAN!" Mason yelled as he entered the main room.

"What is it boy?" Isran's gruff voice replied.

"Tolan's dead and there's a whole castle of vampires they're preparing for war on the Dawnguard."

Isran looked around at the new recruits "Well this is a problem we need more people who have experience."

Mason looked at him "Just say the word I'll go get them."

Isran smiled "Good their names are Sorine who is in the reach and Gunmar who's near Hjallmarch good luck."

Mason smiled but before he could respond the voice of Celann rung out "VAMPIRES AT THE GATE!" Mason looked at Isran who replied.

"Kill those vampires then move we need Sorine and Gunmar as soon as possible."

With that Mason burst through the fort's doors.
