Chapter 10- Awaken

Alduin's wings, they did darken the sky. His roar fury's fire and his scales sharpened scythes. Men ran and they cowered, and they fought and they died. They burned and they bled as they issued their cries.

The song rang in his mind. Though he had never heard of it.

We need saviors to free us from Alduin's rage. Heroes on the field of this new war to wage. And if Alduin wins, man is gone from this world. Lost in the shadow of the black wings unfurled. But then came the Tongues on that terrible day.

He smiled. The song had a lovely tune and excellent words. Though he felt he never heard it, some part of him thought he knew it well.

Steadfast as winter, they entered the fray. And all heard the music of Alduin's doom. The sweet song of Skyrim, sky-shattering Thu'um. And so the Tongues freed us from Alduin's rage.

He opened his eyes slowly. But the song rang continually in his ears, refusing to leave him.

Gave the gift of the Voice, ushered in a new Age. If Alduin is eternal, then eternity's done. For his story is over and the dragons are... gone.

He was awakened now but he hummed oh so quietly, loving the song that he heard. It sounded like honey to him. Then he looked toward the door that was opening and stared at the familiar face looking back at him.
