I was making arrangements with Adrianne by Warmaidens to help get the two fitted into some new armor. I had set up the arrangements when I saw the door to the Bannered Mare burst open and two bodies came tumbling down the steps. One of them being the bard Mikael and the other being that of Vinyl. "By the eight what now?!" I whispered running towards the scene. Vinyl fell on top of the bard attempting to land punches but before one of her fists made contact he spat in the visor of her helmet and his saliva hit her eye.

She recoiled back giving the nimble bard enough time to knock her off him. They both got up as the doors burst open once again and Octavia came rushing out to the gathering crowd witnessing the fight before them.

"GO FOR THE EYES!" Someone in the crowd screamed.

Taking the command Vinyl attempted to go for Mikael's eyes but was swiftly stopped by his boot kicking her. She keeled over and took a few steps back but shook it off.

"That is how true nord women fight!" I heard another say.

She ran for him again and when he attempted to give her the boot again she dodged it and grabbed his leg and pulled it up causing him to lose balance and land on his back once more. He spun around on top of his stomach causing her to lose her grip on his leg and he got up just as quickly. I ran in to intervene but the mass of people made it almost impossible, if he knocks of her helmet! With sudden ferocity I pushed down the people in my way. Vinyl was ready to charge again when she felt my hand stop her.

"Let me at him!" She exclaimed.

"Keep that Bitch! in line she placed her hands on me first!" The bard said brushing the dust of himself

"What did you just call me!?" I swear if I wasnt holding her, Mikael's eyes would be in her fingernails now.

"If you two don't calm right now I swear I will make sure you both can't walk!" I exclaimed.

I saw Octavia shudder a little. They don't have to know I wont right? Vinyl backed away a little and Mikael rubbed the dust off himself further.

"Just make sure you keep her on a tight leash alright." He said

"Oh I'll make sure you get one with my fingers wrapped round your scrawny!"

"Vinyl settle down NOW!" I heard a voice say from the crowd that was beginning to dissipate obviously uninterested in the aftermath.

Vinyl's head turned to the sound of a very angered Octavia facing her. Mikael went back inside the Bannered Mare leaving the two to argue among themselves.

"This isn't going to be fun" Vinyl said pouting.

"Vinyl Scratch that was a unnecessary act of violence upon that man, why would you start a fight with him for seemingly no good reason?" Octavia started

"I guess I thought he was insulting you." Vinyl said rasing her visor.

"I still think that was completely uncalled for and the next chance you get you will apologize to him."

Jeez I feel almost sorry for Vinyl.

"Okay mom, and this is the thanks I get for defending her honor." she muttered

Octavia settled down after releasing steam and I took them down to warmaidens to be fitted for their new armor. Octavia settled for the expertly crafted studded armor while Vinyl got herself the classic steel. After they were fitted Vinyls eyes wouldn't be much of a problem considering that the helmet covered most of her face although the glasses are now useless. Vinyl came up to me

"I need weapon too you know, Tavi has her special lighting powers and you have your cool daggers, when can I get something?"

"You'll get it when you get it." I said gruffly.

She crossed her arms at me and shook her head. "Come on, seriously dude?" I knew I had two options now, get her a weapon, or get badgered all the way to Winterhold. I went back to Warmaidens and was forced to buy a weapon for Vinyl. How has this become my life? She decided to get the steel war hammer. The thing felt familiar in my grasp and I gave it to her with one arm. She grabbed the bottom end with one arm and I let go. Moment I did the hammer fell to the ground breaking the stone a few inches away from her foot. "HOLY WHAT!" She cried out jumping by how close she was to getting a broken foot.

She picked it off the ground with one arm fumbling around to balance it.

"Your meant to grasp it with both hands, watch." I said taking it back and showing her how to hold it. She took it back and felt the weight shift to her advantage with a few practice swings aimed for nothing.

"Alright I think I got it." She said nodding her head.

I handed her the sheath and we left the city of Whiterun and outside the walls safe grip. At the stables they looked at the horses once again and Vinyl asked "Why can't we get one?"

"Because horses need food and that means there's and extra mouth to feed, so no horse." I explained. Want to know the real reason? I'm still scared of what Vinyl meant by "Bigger then most stallion's I met."

Vinyl nodded and we continued onwards. Vinyl managed to practice her weapon on some wolves that had attacked us on the path. It wasnt anything special just a few broken ribs and a collapsed lung. However she celebrated like someone on skooma. After her apparent birthday was over we began were walking the greenery of Skyrim's forests Octavia came up to me

"What is it like? being a werewolf I mean."

"In my current form or that of the beast?"

"The beast form."

"It feels... exhilarating! you feel like the most invulnerable thing on this planet! cowards run, warriors die, the wildlife bow beneath you and the feeling of blood touching your claws is!" I felt my teeth grow sharper at each thought "I'm spouting exposition again aren't I?" They backed away a few feet a little scared of my 'episode' as it were. "Sorry to scare you I meant to say it feels amazing." They relaxed a little.

"So where we going now scar?" Vinyl asked

"Scar?" I asked confused, was that an insult?

"Yeah you know cause that scar on your eye, how did you get that anyway?" Octavia's head drooped down.

"Well you see."

####

Vinyl was barfing into a nearby tree while I was blushing furiously at his AHEM descriptive explanation of how he procured that scar with his wife. I am definitely going to have to remember to lock that inside the vault. He was laughing watching the two of us suffer and that's when I had realized something. He was smiling! We had seen him chuckle but that was out of sarcasm or such not a real full-fledged smile. I guess he isn't made of stone after all.

After we recovered with a couple of gag reflexes from Vinyl we continued forward again. Then we felt the air get... warmer. A huge shadow soared over us causing the very ground to shake in its wake. I looked up but saw nothing, the sky was clear again as if nothing happened. Then I heard a roar tear through the sky. It wasnt like anything I had ever heard before and it was terrifying. Vinyl screamed while pointing at something heading towards us.

"DRAGON, GET DOWN!" Ti'look screamed before sending us onto the ground.

The huge creature landed where we were just standing. It was a reptile as by the scales but it was huge! Ti'look was right! they have dragons. Ti'look drew out his daggers to face the beast. The creature looked at him and spoke?

"Dovakhiin hin sohlon los vomedaas volunduv" It spoke gravely and Ti'look looked the dragon in the eye and spoke as well the same as it.

"Ahney ven hi fen dir naal dii haal!"

The dragon roared loudly and with it came fire. I witnessed Ti'look get engulfed by the flames. The blast of fire missed me entirely but I could still feel the heat from it from where I was standing. Ti'look was right in front of the dragon! I saw him standing in front of it seemingly unharmed with a strange aura surrounding him that protected him from the flames. What kind of magic do they have? We can control the elements but their magic seems primitive yet the same time more advanced than we can ever hope. I heard him yell again like back on the path but differently.

"YOL TOOR SHUL"

Moment the last word left fire erupted from his mouth enveloping the dragon causing it great pain. Wait? he just breathed fire? I reiterate, what kind of magic is this? The dragon flinched when the heat took it giving the elf enough time to draw his daggers again and charge the beast. The dragon was ready to get off the ground but just before it was airborne Ti'look was on its head! The last look on his face before he was sent above the cloud layer was one of pure determination.

####

What have I just gotten myself into? One moment I was on the ground the next i'm hundreds of feet in the air on the back of a dragon with my daggers in it. I tried to get sense of my surroundings but all I saw were clouds and the dragon's spinal plates. The wind was whipping my face, I pulled a dagger out of the dragon and lunged for a higher spot and pulled myself up. I did the same with the other one and reapeted so on and so forth. When I looked to my left I saw the things wing. I took out my dagger and propped my legs against it. In one swift and nearly costly moment I catapulted myself for its wing and now I was on the small part where the wing meets the body. I continuously stabbed the ligaments connecting each other. The dragon's wing went limp as I severed some nerves and now it was spiraling downwards at a very concerning rate towards the ground. I was getting dizzy and couldn't tell what was happening due to the dragons screams of pain and confusion. I saw one thing getting closer though, trees! I leapt off the dragon and now I was free-falling towards the earth.

####

The sky was filled with the roars of the dragon who was falling out of the sky with one wing limp and the other trying to regain control by flapping desperately. Then I saw a body jump off the thing. It was Ti'look! you idiot! I saw the body hit the tree line and disappear. I noticed a new problem now, and it was hurdling right towards us. Well crap! I rushed to Tavi who could only watch with astonished eyes. I pushed her down just before the dragon crashed down on the earth sending a small earthquake through the ground. After the earth settled I got up and moved to the thing, it was actually pretty cool looking missing the fact it was dead. Wait where was scar! did he not survive the fall? oh no!

I was just about to run for the woods to look for him but was stopped by a shoulder wrapping around my shoulder. I turned around to see Tavi who was trembling and pointing at the dead dragon. I turned around, wait? why is it moving? The thing was stil alive!? It's left-wing was paralyzed but it managed to stand on three legs by leaning its weight on one wing. The thing spoke again

"Dovahkiin los nid zuk"

It looked at me and Tavi with murderous intent. I clutched to Tavi and we both held each other tightly waiting for it to unleash its hellfire. I can't believe we were going to die like this! In a world not even belonging to us. Tears were coming down both our faces.

"Tavi I-I." Just before I finished I heard the sound of the dragon roaring in pain.

I turned to face the dragon and it was struggling against something. When I saw who it was I nearly cried out in joy when I saw Scar riding the thing like a rodeo with it thrashing wildly around while he was trying to separate its last wing from its body. The dragon's head turned to its attacker and clamped its jaws on one of his legs. Oh no! it tore him off his wing leaving the glass dagger in its wing and it let him go sending him flying through the air until he crashed into a tree that made the terrifying noise of breaking bones.

He fell to the ground like a rag doll clutching the other dagger and wasn't moving. When the dragon turned its ugly head I saw a purple streak of light make contact with its wing. I turned my head to see Tavi shooting bolts of lighting at the thing mercilessly. The look on her face sent shivers down my spine, her face had nothing but pure rage, like her eyes were devoid of any emotion except for anger. The lightning blast was so strong it tore off the wing. The dragon fell to the ground a look of pain on its face. I drew my hammer out of my sheath and approached it, it spoke again with a heavy rasp.

"You cannot win joor, los Dovahkhiin is dead, soon Alduin fen du hi pah"

I raised the hammer high above my head and let go with the combined forces of gravity and my swing sending it crashing down on the dragons skull caving it in. A few moments of silence went by and it started to emit an amazing glow of orange and blue. Soon the aura wisped away and when I turned my head I saw it going inside of Ti'look. When the energy dissipated I saw he still wasnt getting up but when my head turned to the dragon again and it was all bones. What just happened?

Octavia ran past me and was heading for Ti'look, I followed her to him. When we got to his body it was by some miracle he was still breathing, but barely.

"Get up!" Tavi cried holding his head and kneeling beside him. He looked like he was focused on another place entirely, the creepy part was his bones looked like they were threatening to come out of his body. He looked at Tavi and lifted his arm offering the dagger, he was trembling at every move he made.

"Take this to my daughters, find them and tell them both that daddy's gone."

Everything seemed to slow down. Tavi took the dagger from his hands and he let it go limp. More tears splashed on the ground from her eyes. The only sound that filled the air was of Tavi's silent sobs and of Ti'look's shallow breathing. Then his eyes slowly drifted to a close
