Chapter 4: Dovahfiik
The snowy storm in Winterhold continued its rage into the morning. The trio of adventurers carefully paced themselves into the high premises of the College. "Welcome to the College of Winterhold, travelers. This is the place where magic is at its best. What brings you here on this occasion?" Faralda, the gatekeeper had greeted the trio. "One of our friends is hurt from a recent battle in the snowy fields outside. He needs medical attention immediately." Heatherean exclaimed. "Oh... and also! I carry something that I would like to seek assistance in finding out on." Vokir followed in immediately. "Other matters can wait, let me bring you to our Archmage. He may be able to help." Saying that, Faralda escorted the trio into the College.
"What brings us these three faraway guests? They are not familiar faces..." Savos Aren questioned. Faralda approached him and explained the situation, and Vance was escorted away for treatment with Savos. "So... you mentioned about something you would like to ask...What is it?" Faralda asked. Vokir reached for his belt and took out the powerful gem carefully sealed in his woven pouch. Upon its reveal, the gem radiated with golden rays once more. Its magical energy could be felt by all. "This is...very special. And it feels extremely powerful. You can talk to Sergius. He may know a thing or two about such precious stones and enchantings. Let me show you the way." Faralda signalled.
"Wow, that thing you had there... Where did you get it from?" Heatherean asked in curiousity. "From a raid during at Dawnstar. Me and Vance had sabotaged some evil mages' plan to destroy the entire town there. They were using this to their advantage. Now I want to know what power it bears, and if certain enough, can equip me with a way to kill a Dragon." Heatherean broke out into a laugh. "A DRAGON? You must be joking. You did see how it took three of us to just take down a native bear just yesterday night." "I know. But my parents were killed by the dragon. Amongst the whole village, no one else was hurt. It was bent on taking them away from me. I want to know why. I already have nothing else to lose." Vokir replied solemnly. "I'm sorry for your loss." Heatherean quietly ended the conversation.
"Meet Sergius Turrianus, the master of enchantment. He will guide you with his profound knowledge of such matters. I have more things to attend to. Pardon my disappearance." Faralda said and left the chamber abruptly. "It's nice to meet you. What may I help you with travelers?" Sergius asked. Vokir approached him and revealed the gemstone to him. "Oh my goodness. I can't believe my eyes. You have the Gem of Dovahfiik! Up until this time, it still holds such great magical vitality... Where did you attain it from?" Sergius murmured in awe. Vokir explained the story to him in detail. "Is there any way its powers can be used? What kind of magic does it contain?" he asked in response. "This gem... If it had the power to consume Dawnstar, do you know what you are dealing with? This gem is the essence of a reflection. Dovah - Dragon, Fiik - mirror! This gem contains the power of retaliation, truth and forecasting. It can give you answers to the future, reveal even the most cunning deceptions and even the power of seeing into the far beyond, according to its old historical legend, where it was possessed by the dragon priests of Skyrim to worship the Dragons." Sergius explained, while drawing an old dusty book from the top of the bookshelf. "Look, this is the lore behind the gem. I never expected that one day I would be talking to someone about it. If legend is true, this gem can give you answers with regards to your birth parents and the dragon and sufficient power to seek revenge. But are you sure that the truth is the best option for you? Through my years of practicing magic and the arcane arts, it had given me tremendous power... But the more knowledge one attains, the more worries and troubles you have. My piece of advice to you... Think carefully about this!" Sergius explained. Vokir responded with the desire and determination to attain its power. Heatherean was amazed at the corner. "Very well. According to the legend, the power can be unlocked to the holder as long as you are able to successfully commune with its soul. There is a certain lost spell held by the ancient dragon priests that lays buried in the ancient ruins of the Draugr remains. There is a underground cave deep beneath Bleak Falls Barrow, where the chamber lies. If you can retrieve the spellbook, learn and master its spell, use the spell to create a magical platform and commune with the crystal to seek its power, it will grant you its response in return." Vokir understood and replied, "Thank you Sergius. Your assistance is greatly appreciated." Sergius smiled and requested, "While you are at it, when you have finished the spell, do donate that spellbook to the College. It will do great to keep it away from the dangers of evil men in Skyrim." Vokir nodded and accompanied Heatherean out of the chamber room.
"You're not planning on doing this right now are you?" Heatherean asked. "Definitely not. We will wait till we are sure Vance is completely recovered and then set off to look for the spellbook." Vokir replied. "But you still do not have any powers from the gem yet. Are you sure you want to go into deep dark Draugr gravesites and hunt for a rumored spellbook? It's way too dangerous!" Heatherean exclaimed in worry. "Yes, it is dangerous. But if we have each other, it can make things a lot easier. Will you help me?" Vokir questioned. Heatherean broke into a heavy sigh. "I must say I admire your courage... I...Oh... Okay... I'll help. I just can't see you sending yourself straight into a death pit like this." Heatherean answered him. "Thank you. Now, let's go and see how Vance is doing." Vokir smiled in reply.
Back at the Archmage's Quarters, Savos Aren was channeling restoration spells towards Vance. He appeared to look better in condition. "Heatherean! Thank you for saving me. I didn't have the energy to thank you previously... So, what did you guys find out about the gem?" Vokir explained everything to him. "It's worth a try... The more people involved the safer. We're stronger in numbers. I'm tagging along too. Savos says that I will be well recovered by night. We can move off next morning." Heatherean and Vokir nodded. The trio hence got some well deserved rest, for the day ahead, another long journey ensues.
