Hello everyone, I haven't gotten caught up playing Fallout 3 after getting the game for the first time in my life, I don't know what you're talking about. Also check my story titled "updates" for more info. In other news, I recently had an interesting epiphany. For the longest time, I assumed that most people joined the Stormcloaks. Apparently, all those Fan Fics out there where the Dragonborn is with the Imperials says otherwise lol. Well I've before somewhere said that I feel the Imperials gave a very bad first impression. With the exception of Hadvar. That guy is awesome. General Tullius turned out to be awesome as well. Also, I've advertised in Team SVGD, but any I highly recommend any Imperial fans check out The One She feared by Baldor Omnuik. He brings the Dragonborn to their maximum potential.

Also, I noticed there have been some misconceptions about M'Rissi, these misconceptions I feel, aren't giving her a fair chance in the pairing voting. So, before you vote for the pairing, I recommend you either download the mod M'Rissi's Tails of trouble or watch a playthrough of it. For the playthrough, I'd recommend Zero Period Productions, he's who I watched, and how I discovered most of my mods that I use, including M'Rissi's Tails of Trouble. It's a great mod, and won't take too much of your time. In fact, I also recommend you do so before proceeding with the story. Plus, it'll better help you understand what I mean when I say M'Rissi isn't your typical Khajit. And why I have her act the way she does and say things like "Mrow." Plus, you won't have to wait for me to explain her backstory via flashbacks (which I'm doing for those who don't do so). Anyway, I will not say the pairing score this chapter. Also I have some unfortunate news. I have to take Serana out of the contest. I am so sorry for this but I came to a situation I hadn't thought of when I made the pairings. You see, I have a certain plot point I want to do for this fic. I won't say what it is as it'll involve spoilers. But I would not be able to do that plot point if Serana was paired with Hawke. Again, I am so sorry, but I had not thought about that when I started this fic. Any Dragonborn x Serana fans, I'd recommend my other fic The Dragonborn Returns- Team SVGD, in which the Dragonborn is basically Captain America.

Anyway, I will have the scores up next chapter. Also so far I have had one review saying yes to including the Nerevarine, and zero saying no. So I will include the Nerevarine in this story. Just a heads up though. He will not physically appear until about the end of vol 3 – beginning of vol 4. I will however have references to him throughout the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Skyrim or RWBY, if I did, the Blake character short would have actually been about Blake.

Chapter 4: Alliance

Skyrim a few years ago

Hawke was standing the ruins of the Hall of the Vigilant.

He looked around and found who he was looking for.

Keeper Carcette.

Due to his demonic nature and his vampire heritage, he and the vigilants never saw eye to eye.

A few of them even tried to kill him a few times.

Carcette however, he had nothing but respect for.

She even offered her condolences after hearing of the fate of his father.

She appeared to have gone down fighting.

He kneeled down and closed her eyes.

"If anyone deserves Sovengarde, it's you," he said.

He then decided to hunt down the one who did this.

For he knew already who did this as there was only one vampire bold enough and powerful enough to do this.

After all these years he finally had some kind of Solid lead.

He was finally about to face harkon.

After hearing rumors of the reforming of the Dawnguard, Hawke decided to follow up on it.

He joined a young man name Agmaer on the journey to the fortress.

Hawke saw Vigilant Tolan having a heated discussion with the leader whose name was apparently Isran.

"Tolan it's been a while," said Hawke making his presence known.

"Hawke?" asked Tolan noticing him there.

"I've come to join the Dawnguard," said Hawke.

"Are you sure Hawke?" asked Tolan.

"I think I know who took out the Hall of the Vigilants," said Hawke.

"Do enlighten us," said Isran intrigued.

"The one I've spent many years hunting down, the Vampire Lord Harkon. He's the only one who would be bold or arrogant enough to something this drastic," Hawke explained.

Hawke had just entered a chamber.

Tolan was dead.

Hawke went through the same ritual he went with Carcette.

He was wearing full Dawnguard armor now by the way.

He had also just had his hand impaled.

Just to see what would happen he went through the puzzle and a cofiin came out with a vampire woman.

What was more she was daughter of Coldharbour like his mother.

"Who are you?" she asked, "Are you like me?"

"Sort of," replied Hawke, "the name is Hawke."

"I'm Serana," she said.

Hawke noticed the elder scroll but decided to inquire about it later.

"So how long have you been in there?" he asked.

"I don't know who's High King right now?" she asked.

"After the Civil War Ulfric Stormcloak became the High King."

"Civil War? Oh boy another squabble who were the contenders?"

"The Stormcloaks supported Ulfric, while the Empire supported Elisif."

"What Empire?"

"The Empire of Cyrodil."

"Cyrodil is the seat of an entire empire?"

"Holy shit you have been gone a while. You missed quite a lot of shit going down. The Red Mountain erupted, a bunch of gates of Oblivion opened and were invade by Dremora, the Mother of all wars happened, oh and Dragons came back. As did Alduin. He's gone now though."

Serana just blinked.

When Hawke agreed to bring Serana home, he had no way of knowing that her father was Lord Harkon himself.

He couldn't even hear him when he was THANKING HIM.

It took every ounce of his will power to draw his dwemer gun blade on Harkon right then and there to hell with the consequences.

Serana actually picked up on this thought that was mainly cause she was right next to him.

Harkon offered him a gift.

He gave Harkon a few choice words and left.

"You left Harkon with an Elder Scroll?!" shouted Isran.

"I had no choice," said Hawke.

"You could have ended him there," said Isran.

At that point Hawke snapped and grabbed Isran by the throat and pinned him to the wall.

"Listen here you bastard. There were way too many of them, and I was in the lion's den! I couldn't be sure he would die there! Nobody wants to kill Harkon more than I do so don't ever question my resolve again!" shouted Hawke.

He then let Isran down, "I'm sorry about that, I just had a lot of bottled up anger at the situation of not being able to have my vengeance," said Hawke.

Isran could tell Hawke truly felt bad about losing his temper.

Hawke showed up at fort Dawnguard with Gunmar and Injard.

"Please wait a moment while I test you all for Vampirism," said Isran.

A light began glowing and Isran was clearly shocked by what he detected.

"By Stendarr!" shouted Isran.

"What on Nirn did Harkon do to you Hawke?!

Opening (play Courtroom Revolutionairre Vocal version by adriasaurus)

(instrumental)

Follow your heart out of the Darkness

Stand up and rise from the ashes

Back to the Start, far from the madness

Come alive again

Break off the chains of hesitation

Your voice will be your salvation

Look to the light of liberation waiting at the end

I'll chase away all of the phantoms that haunt in your sleep

Don't be afraid of your emotions

Give into them and run to me

I can hear you calling out for me

All of the Discord in your heart reveals

That you need me now

So I won't leave you—this I vow

(instrumental again)

Once I was young, once I was frightened

But now I stand here enlightened

No longer bound by my own silence

This is here and now

Walk every road, fight every battle

Let judgement fall with Gavel

Stand unashamed

What good is faith without a bit of doubt

I'll chase away all of the phantoms that haunt in your sleep

Don't be afraid of your emotions

Give into them and run to me

I can hear you calling out for me

All of the Discord in your heart reveals

That you need me now

So I won't leave you—this I vow

(more instrumental)

You'll be safe for now

I'll never leave you—this I vow

(End Song)

Akavir/Remnant Present Day

Hawke and Raven just stared at each other for a bit.

"Well I can see Yang takes after you in terms of looks," said Hawke.

"Where have you been?" asked Raven.

"You know it's funny, all my life I was wondering the same thing about you and Qrow," said Hawke.

"But I came from beyond Remnant a land called Tamriel," said Hawke.

"We know this place as Akavir, a land of mystery," he continued.

"And from what I understand, Qrow seems to take after our father while you take after our mother, and I got both ends of the stick," added Hawke.

Raven was confused at first, until Hawke explained.

"Our father Volgar was a Nord war Veteran, who fought in the last great war, our mother Safiria was a pure-blood vampire, Nords really love to drink, and I don't think I need to explain vampires," explained Hawke.

"Wait so we are half demon basically?" asked Raven.

When Hawke nodded she said, "That explains so much."

"I actually envy Qrow," said Hawke, "his excessive drinking has actually caused his demon half to become sedated," Hawke chuckled a bit at that.

"But while I'm enjoying this family reunion and all we are dancing around the most important issue," said Hawke suddenly becoming serious.

"Why did you leave?" he asked.

Hawke could feel Raven's guilt.

"I wanted to find you. I had this whole plan to show up with you and surprise everybody. But then you found us. What can I do now? Just show up like nothing happened? Like I didn't just walk out on my own daughter," said Raven with tears running down her eyes.

"I just feel I can't just show up, and I need to do more than just say sorry," she added.

"I understand," said Hawke.

"I will not tell them that you're still around though or how you actually feel about them," said Hawke still stern, "you should do that yourself."

Raven sighed, she was really going to have to bite the bullet on this one.

Then she remembered something.

"Oh by the way, Dimitri and Lilith send their regards," she said.

Hawke's reaction was not at all what she was expecting.

She heard him mutter a single word.

Matari.

3 days later

Hawke was entertaining Yang and Ruby (plus M'rissi) with stories of his adventures in Skyrim when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it," said Tai Yang.

He went to the door to see a rather large Panther Faunus man.

"Excuse me, does Hawke Branwen live here?" he asked.

Tai Yang nodded.

"May I speak to him?" he asked.

Tai Yang gestured the man to come inside.

"Hawke you have a visitor," said Tai Yang.

Hawke having just finished the story got up and looked at the man.

"May I help you?" he asked.

"Allow me to introduce myself my name is Ghira Belladona, Chief of Menagerie, and head of the White Fang, on behalf of all of us, I want to thank you for freeing my people from those Thalmor, especially when one of their captives was my daughter,"said the now named Ghira.

"You're little Blake's dad?" asked Hawke

"I wanted to do more than thank you though," explained Ghira.

"You see the group I lead, the White Fang is meant to bridge the gap between Faunus and humanity. There are some racists out there who still treat us like animals though. The group you lead though, the Stormcloaks has actually inspired many, with not only its valor, but its diversity, and many faunus actually want to join your cause. So I'm proposing an Alliance, you would join us in our peaceful protests, while also providing security, and you would have more troops to fight the Thalmor," explained Ghira.

Hawke thought about it for a bit and agreed.

"Good I'd like you to accompany me to Menagerie for a bit to make things official and finalize our agreement," said Ghira.

"Good, I should bring M'rissi and Jhzargo as well, M'rissi because she's attached to me, and Jhzargo as he's my chief diplomat," said Hawke.

Menagerie sometime later

Hawke looked at the state of Menagerie in pity.

It reminded him too much of the Old Gray Quarter back at Windhelm.

He was very grateful that Ulfric decided to improve the conditions once the fallout from the Civil war was over.

He may have had to replace half of the Windhelm Guard, but it was worth it.

Can't have racist guards now can we?

But anyway one snake faunus went up to Hawke and said, "What do you think you're doing here human," she said.

"Easy Ko," said a familiar voice.

Sure enough it was old Sienna Khan.

"This is Hawke Branwen," she said.

"Wait, you're Hawke?" she said.

"Yep," he said.

"I'm surprised you're human, with how much respect Sienna has for you I figured you'd be faunus," she said.

"I'm surprised myself to see Sienna has so much respect for a human," Ghira said grinning.

"Don't think this changes my opinions on humanity Ghira," said Sienna, "Hawke just happens to be the exception. We understand each other."

"Anyway I'm Ko Ophiucus," said the Snake faunus, "And my semblance is hypnosis."

A wolf faunus came by, "So you're Hawke Branwen, it is honor to meet you. I am Akhil Lupus," he said, "And my semblance is Pack mind."

An orange haired monkey faunus came by and beat his chest with one hand and having a partially eaten banana in the other hand, came by.

"Yo I'm Lou Wukong, and my semblance is battle beats," he said before taking a bite of his Banana.

"As good as it is to see you again Hawke I believe High Leader Belladona wants to discuss things at his mansion so we will leave you be for now," said Sienna as she and her friends walked off.

Upon arriving at Ghira's house, Hawke's leg was immediately assaulted by a small form that screamed "Mr. Hawke!"

"Hey Blake," said Hawke smiling.

"Can we play?" she asked.

"I have to make the alliance official with your father first," said Hawke.

Blake then made… the face.

Even with all his demonic power, he could not resist the face.

Jzhargo just smiled, "Jzhargo will take of things, this one should play with the little Kitten."

Blake jumped for joy as did M'rissi.

Jzhargo then went into the next room with Ghira.

Hawke just pulled out his Lute, "Who wants to hear a ballad?" he asked.

"This one is an ode to the Stormcloaks since they were first formed. It's called the age of Opression."

We drink to our youth to the days come and gone

For the age of oppression is now nearly done

We'll drive out the empire from this land that we own

With our blood and our steel we will take back our home

All hail to Ulfric, you are the High King

In your great honor we drink and we sing

We're the children of Skyrim and we'll fight all our lives

And when Sovengarde beckons every one of us dies

But this land is ours and we'll see it wiped clean

Of the scourge that has sullied our hopes and our dreams

All hail to Ulfric you are the high King

In your great honor we drink and we sing

We're the children of Skyrim and we fight all our lives

And when Sovengarde beckons everyone of us dies.

Blake clapped very happily and M'rissi purred.

"How about I tell you a story now?" asked Hawke.

"This is a legend from my homeland. The legend of the Dragonborn."

"You see long ago dragons ravaged the world. They were led by the worst of them all. Alduin the World Eater. His eyes were blood red and his scales were black as night. They say when he took to the sky his shadow blocked out the sun. People had thought all hope was lost. But something happened that even Alduin hadn't counted on. He was betrayed by his own second in command. Parthurnaax. Pathurnaax proceed to teach the mortals the Thu'um, or Dragon shout, so they could combat the Dragons. Three heroes eventually combated Alduin in a final stand with a Thu'um they made on their own. The Dragonrend Shout, causing Alduin to fall from the sky and making him feel mortal. They used an Elder Scroll to defeat Alduin and thought he was gone forever.

They were wrong.

You see Alduin was never really destroyed, he was simply shot forward in time. And he began resurrecting the dragons. People thought all hope was lost again.

But then, he came, in their tongue he was Dovakihn, with body of a mortal and the blood and soul of a dragon, he was the one they feared, he was the Dragonborn.

You see normally when some killed a dragon, their soul lived on and the Dragon could potentially return, but when the Dragonborn killed a dragon, he absorbed their soul.

Also as Dragonborn, they bridged the gap between mortality and immortality so he was the only one who could defeat Alduin.

In order to learn the Dragonrend shout he sought out Parthurnaax at the Throat of the World. With the Elder Scroll he was able to peer through time and learn the Dragonrend shout.

Alduin who had sensed this came to do battle with his foe. Teaming up with Parthurnaax the Dragonborn fought Alduin. Alduin was no match and was forced to retreat. The Dragonborn pursued Alduin on the back of a Dragon named Ohdaviing, all the way to Sovengarde. There he teamed up with the three heroes of old, and fought Alduin one last time. Alduin was defeated and never seen again."

Blake listened to the story with stars in her eyes.

Little did either of them know, there was a young Bull Faunus standing outside the Window listening to everything.

6 months later

"So what bed time story do you want this time? The tale of the four maidens again?" asked Hawke.

"No," said Ruby who went to the book case and pulled out a book, "This is my other favorite one," she said.

"The Father of Aura?" said Hawke reading the title.

Yang got stars in her eyes at this.

"Ooh that one is awesome," she said.

"Well then Father of Aura it is," said Hawke opening up the book.

"Long ago before the Shnee Dust Company made Dust available everywhere, and before the Great War, people struggled against the Creatures of Grimm. Armed with nothing but regular weapons they fought back. Some succeeded, some barely so, many others did not make it. People lived in fear each day, and with that fear brought more grimm.

It looked like humanity might go extinct, but then a miracle happened. A mysterious adventurer appeared. Clad in Golden Armor, wielding two blades. After fighting off a pack of Grimm that was attacking a village, he gave them a gift. He gave them Aura, and by extension Semblances. Therefore, giving humanity the edge against the Grimm they had been searching so long for. People now had less reason to fear the Grimm. Before the man left the people asked him his name.

He responded 'I am known by many names but I am most known as…'" Hawke paused as his eyes widened at the name. He couldn't believe his eyes. "'…The Nerevarine' and just as soon as he appeared he vanished never to be seen again. We will never forget you Nerevarine, Father of Aura," Hawke finished as he closed the book.

Seeing that Ruby and Yang were asleep, he stepped out with the book and sent a message to Ozpin.

We need to talk ASAP

Ozpin texted him back quickly.

Meet me in my office

Hawke proceeded to head out the door, when he was approached by Raven.

"What do you want?" asked Hawke.

"I can make your trip to Ozpin go faster," said Raven pulling out her Katana and creating a portal.

"This portal will take you to Beacon Academy," she said.

Hawke just nodded and went through the portal.

Hawke went up to a blonde woman who he was sure he saw at Summer's funeral.

She wasn't too bad looking either.

But that was irrelevant at this point.

"Excuse me I'm here to see Ozpin," he said.

Glynda Goodwitch was just thinking about life when Hawke Branwen approached.

She actually blushed when she realized how good looking he was up close.

The last time she saw Qrow and Ravens long lost brother was at Summer's funeral and he made an impression then.

Back then he reminded her of a cross of Qrow and Ironwood.

Composing herself she said, "Right this way Mister Branwen."

They stepped into the elevator and Goodwitch blushed at how close she was to Hawke.

Little did she realize Hawke was blushing as well do to being so close to someone in "such a tiny elevator."

They arrived at Ozpin's office who greeted them with a sip of Coffee.

"Welcome Mr. Branwen," said Ozpin, "What was it you wanted to talk about?" he asked.

Hawke just held up the copy of The Father of Aura, and said, "I'm curious as to why what is clearly is history book is labeled as a 'fairy tale,'" he asked.

"What makes you say that?" asked Ozpin, though inwardly he was on his guard.

He felt Salem's shadow over him when he spoke to him at Summer's funeral.

It was only assurances of both Qrow and Raven that he decided to give Hawke the benefit of the doubt.

"Because it mentions the Nerevarine," said Hawke.

"I fail to see what a fairy tale character has to do with anything," said Ozpin trying to maintain a calm façade.

"Because the Nerevarine is not only real, but is still alive today," said Hawke.

Glynda got into combat stance immediately but Ozpin stopped her with a hand gesture.

"And just how do you know this?" asked Ozpin.

Hawke smiled, "Because like me, the Nerevarine originally hailed from Tamriel, he was given a disease called Corpus that stopped his aging, and he disappeared 200 years ago to Akavir, or rather Remnant is it's called by its inhabitants."

Glynda put her crop down and Ozpin released a breathe had no clue how long he'd been holding.

He wasn't working for Salem, that was relief.

"Well Hawke I was going to wait a bit before doing this but you proved yourself trustworthy enough," said Ozpin.

The elevator then opened and a woman with brown hair came in.

"Hawke I'd like you to meet Amber Autumn, the Fall maiden, and the woman I want you to mentor," said Ozpin.

Glynda had to resist the urge to chuckle at Hawke's mind blown expression.

"Welcome to the Brotherhood of Remnant," said Ozpin.

End chap… wait what, what's happening…

Vale was on Fire, Beacon was crushed, and the top of Beacon Tower was removed.

But was interesting was what was happening at the top of the tower.

Two people were in fierce combat.

On one side was Hawke Branwen.

On the other side was a raven-haired, amber-eyed woman in red dress wielding two swords and the power of the fall maiden. She also had a few cuts for some reason.

Hawke was wielding Summer's Storm.

There was a Grimm Dragon circling the tower.

"What do you mean break the cycle?" the woman asked.

Hawke just growled, "I'm through try to break through that thick skull of yours Cinder Fall!" he shouted.

He lunged at her and she parried.

"You think you know so much about me?! What I've been through?! WHAT I'VE LOST?!" he shouted slashing at her with each sentence.

"WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU KNOW ANYWAY!?" shouted Hawke.

Cinder kicked Hawke away and conjured up a storm of fire balls and sent every one of them at Hawke just in time for an older Ruby (probably 15) to see this.

"UNCLE HAWKE!" she shouted as Silver lights came out of her eyes and everything went white.

In the whiteness we see Raven standing with one of her fellow tribesman.

"I see," said the Tribesman, who was wearing a geist mask.

"This is disturbing," he said.

"For as long as I can remember, I keep having the same nightmare," Raven said.

"But why does this disturb you so much?" asked the tribesman.

"You remember my semblance?" asked Raven.

"Future sight yes," said Geist mask.

"Then tell me why," said Raven.

"Why what?" Geist mask asked confused.

"Why can't I see past this point?" said Raven.

Now End Chapter.

Oh my goodness this took a while. And I even finished with Fall Out 3. So we have our first mention of the Nerevarine.

Also I've said this before in other fics and might have said it here, but I'll say it again.

With my fics, 95% of the story is planned out ahead of time, the other 5% is made up as I go along.

Some examples this chapter include the bits with Jzhargo and Hawke's interaction with Glynda.

Also this chapter was a lot more Lore heavy then I thought it would be lol. Also what do you all think of the opening. I plan to come up with scenes to go with it in the future, I just feel this song fits well with my story.

Anyway, I'm building up to a major chapter called The Battle of Patch, which is going to involve the next major battle with the Thalmor. That chapter is the deadline for the voting on pairings.

Which is why I decided to have that interaction between Hawke and Glynda, if she wins the vote, I want at least some kind of build up.

Also apparently Ruby's birthday is Halloween, lol. With RWBY volume 5 just around the corner I'll see you later.

And I still haven't heard whether people like the idea of Summer Rose in Sovengarde Omake series.

Also LONE RANGER 97 please let me know if there was any more sorcery removing parts of this fic. I really appreciate you catching it in my last two chapters.

Anyway if you have any comments, questions, concerns, suggestions, constructive criticism, or you just want to say hi, please leave a review. I do read each and every one and that is how I've been keeping track of the votes.
