Chapter 11: Sea Battle

( Arcos's PoV )

Already a day passed since Teldir and I parted ways, according to him his allies are waiting in a secret house near the port of Windhelm. From Winterhold towards Windhelm wasn't the longest way but I have to get past some mountains to get there, which proves to be more exhausting than I thought. But there wasn't a single other soul out here except some wolfs and other animals for which I'm thankful, a quiet and peaceful trip is just what I want.

I hope Arcos makes it… the World needs him. But I should focus on getting this Elder Scroll for him so I can at least take one of his worries away. Though he always seemed to be a bit troubled when he talks about the Scroll… or maybe I'm just imagining things again, it's not important. I heard bad rumors about Labyrinthian, people are avoiding this place whenever they can and this will have a reason. And if Tolfdir was right, then I'll have to prepare myself for Draugr. Also this place is located in the mountains, it will take some time to get there…

But I will get this Scroll, for Arcos's sake.

It took me some days to finally get to Windhelm, I should have taken a carriage instead but with the luck I have there wasn't a single one in Winterhold at the moment I've been there. But now I'm here so it doesn't matter. I followed the path towards the stone bridge which led to the Main gate of the city. But when I was about to enter, the two Stormcloak guards who were guarding the gate noticed me before one of them spoke up.

"Oh, Dragonborn! It's an honor to see you!", one of them said in awe. Wow… I really didn't expected that…

"Oh, ehm… thanks.", I shyly replied before the second one spoke up.

"If you should run into trouble, just search us.", he said friendly before they even opened the gate for me. I was shocked at how the guards are treating me here. I already noticed some guards looking at me at the bridge but this is… just wow. It was certainly on a different level than in other cities. When I entered, I was surprised to see Ulfric Stormcloak currently walking on the streets with someone else who was wearing a Stormcloak officer armor behind him. I haven't seen Ulfric since Helgen, I don't think he remembers me. However my thoughts were crushed because when he saw me he immediately seemed to notice me before he walked towards me. I stopped in my tracks when he spoke up, it would be rude just to continue now.

"Arcos, right? It is nice to see you again, words of your deeds have already spread through the city. Many of my soldiers are already viewing you as a hero. Especially Ralof talked highly about you.", Ulfric said friendly, but I wasn't quite sure how exactly to respond. Ralof sure must have told him that I'm not going to side with anyone, right?

"I already noticed that by some guards, I like to be here.", I replied with a small smile.

"I'm glad to hear that. However, Ralof also already told me about your opinion of this war, and I respect your decisions. The least I can do for you is to consider you as neutral. But know that you're always welcome here. Should you change your mind, you know where to find me.", Ulfric said before he took his leave. This went better than I thought. But I feel comfortable to be here, I can't deny that. The only thing which I hate is the fact that some of the Nord here are evil towards any other person who isn't a Nord. They would have deserved to be thrown into jail.

But I still haven't bought a house of my own and I just don't know what to do with my gold… but that's something for another time. I continued my way towards the port of Windhelm, though I couldn't do otherwise but notice the special and friendly behavior the guards I encountered had towards me…

It took me several days to reach this place but I could finally see the big entrance to Labyrinthian. It had a big courtyard with two separate places on the left and right and one big stone door which led into the main building of Labyrinthian. Snow covered everything and there is a small snowstorm raging right now, which made it especially hard to see the ice trolls which are living here in the cold. I only heard a growl in front of me and instinctively fired a lightning spell in front of me which made the troll stop for a moment before I used a strong fireball instead which sent him flying. I didn't bothered myself with anything else now and just opened the giant stone door which led into the main building in the mountain.

"Finally I can see clearly.", I muttered and sighed. I took in my surroundings, it was a main hall with a single iron gate at the end of it. Some skeletons laid on the ground too… but which caught my interest was a red book which one of the skeletons had in his left hand. I picked it up and looked at it, it had a tree symbol on it.

'An Alteration spell book…', I thought before I opened it and went through the text. I smiled when the Knowledge of it came into my mind, I could finally use a Telekinesis spell. I laid the book back on the ground and used my new spell at one of the skeletons and threw it against a wall with ease. This is certainly useful for me. I continued my way towards the little iron gate and pulled the lever before the gate opened.

I gasped when I entered another giant room. It had a strange circle in the middle of the room…

I walked a bit closer but stopped when this circle suddenly burst open. I got ready and prepared myself, but I couldn't have expected that a skeleton dragon would crawl out of it…

I reached the port and looked around, searching for the house Teldir meant. I came to a small stone house which was locked. I took out the key Teldir gave me and opened the door. As soon as I entered it, a blade was held against my throat. But when the figure in front of me looked closer at me he immediately took his sword back.

"I apologize Dragonborn, we have to be careful. My name is Brelof.", a Nord with a whole steel plate armor said. Behind him were 16 other soldiers with the exact same armor and steel swords already in a fighting position.

"It's alright, is everyone already here?", I asked to which Brelof nodded.

"Yes and we're waiting for your orders. We have trained for this day and you shall lead us to victory.", Brelof said before the soldiers bowed before me. How did Teldir manage to gather them… I couldn't possibly hope for more.

"I will, I promise. How do we get to the Emperor?", I asked before Brelof mentioned me to follow him. He looked around for a moment when we left the house before we continued to walk to a big ship which was currently at the port.

"With this ship. We have prepared everything and are ready to go. It has catapults on board should we engage them.", Brelof said while the soldiers already went on board before he continued.

"The Emperor will have his best soldiers from the Penitus Oculatus. But we wanted to see him dead for a long time now. No matter what, we will stay by your side.", Brelof said, and though I couldn't see his expression because of his helmet, I knew he had to be smiling with confidence.

"Thanks for your believe in me. We have to reach them before they can get to Solitude, we will have to spend at least two days on the sea before we can catch them.", we both made our way onto the ship where the soldiers were already getting it ready to sail.

"You reached us just in time, we couldn't have waited much longer. If Teldir was right then they are already on the sea for two days.", Brelof said before we finally left the port.

'I wonder how many of us will get out of this alive…', I thought…

How could a skeleton dragon still breath ice? He even had assistance from some nasty skeleton mages and archers but they were the weakest enemies I've ever encountered. I dodged another ice breath with a protection spell before he started to try to bite me. It broke through my shield and I had to take this hit, this bite still hurt. But instead another idea came into my mind. He tried to bite me again but I quickly used my Telekinesis spell and threw several of the skeletons at him. It just seemed to annoy him at first until I started to throw rocks at him. He tried to dodge them as best as he could before I took all of my magicka and threw the biggest rock I could find against his head. The skeleton dragon could only look as the rock knocked the head from its body away. Nothing can stand against my magic! I quickly continued and walked towards the wooden door at the end of the big room and continued. Suddenly a blue light appeared in front of me and I felt all of my magicka vanish before a weird and dead-like voice spoke up.

"Wo meyz wah dii vul junaar?", it said in a rather masculine voice before the blue light disappeared again and my magicka slowly began to recover. What kind of magic is this? And who else is here!? I ignored the voice and continued through many corridors before suddenly spectral versions of Draugr appeared from the ground, charging immediately at me. I prepared lightning spells when the blue light and this voice appeared again, draining my magicka and making me weak and unprepared for the incoming enemies.

"Nivahriin muz fen siiv nid aaz het.", I had no choice and ran back a bit until my magicka could recover before I shot those Draugr ghosts into pieces. Whatever kind of magic this is, this voice has something to do with it and I have the feeling that soon I will find out to whom this voice belongs. But for now I have to survive. I continued and walked into the next room where a stone wall with an iron gate was keeping me away from the next door which led further into the ruins. On top of the wall were some skeleton archers and mages which I would have eliminated in an instant if this stupid voice wouldn't interfere again.

"You do not answer...must I use this disgusting language of yours?", the voice spoke again. Does he expect me to know the weird dragon language from before? Maybe Arcos could understand this but he isn't here now. What matters is who this person is. But I won't answer, whoever this is will face his death sooner than he could react. With my magicka recovered I shot the skeleton from the walls and opened the iron gate before I walked to the next door leading into another corridor. There were other spectral Draugr which were no challenge. They didn't survive long enough before the blue light and voice appeared again.

"Have you returned, Aren? My old friend?", now this surprised me, what does he mean? Aren, the Archmage of the College… has he been here before? I came into another room, but this one was bigger this time. Only that in the middle of it was a stone chair where suddenly another spectral Draugr appeared. I got ready and wanted to burn him into ashes when he suddenly did something else.

"Fus Ro Dah!", he shouted me against the stone wall before he took his spectral axe and charged at me. I didn't had the time to get up and fired lightning spells instead. He was about to slice me into pieces before he had to give in and fell dead to the ground. That… was too close. I have to focus more.

"Do you seek to finish that which you could not?", the voice and light appeared again. I want to cut your head off! Or whatever I can do to you. I ignored it yet again and continued towards the next wooden door which led into a small corridor again. But the voice just continued.

"You only face failure once more…", I wonder what background story Aren had here… and I will ask the Archmage myself once I'm finished here. At least Tolfdir could have warned me. But I shouldn't blame him, maybe he really didn't know. Luckily no enemy was around while this voice was speaking.

"You… you are not Aren, are you? Has he sent you in his place?", well this conclusion didn't came really fast. I continued and walked towards the next door, before I stopped. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a small other room on the left. I curiously walked towards it and opened the little iron door before walking in, which immediately caught my interest was the old Nord helmet and sword which lay on the ground near a small fire, I could already feel the magic power both items held. I took both things and looked a bit closer at them. The helmet was having a strong fire resistance while the sword was making fire damage.

'I could destroy them and learn the enchantment…', I thought before safely putting them into my bag. However when I left the room the voice decided to speak up again.

"Did he warn you that your own power would be your undoing? That it would only serve to strengthen me?", it spoke in a mocking tone. This was getting on my nerves. But when I came closer to the next door, I could feel the power and magicka behind it.

"Come then. Face your end."

We're on the sea for a while now, at least a day had already passed. I stood at the side of the ship and gazed into the distance, but none of my thoughts were directed towards the incoming battle. Instead my thoughts went to Alduin… I remembered every Encounter I had with her, I had every one of them burned in my mind.

Isn't it your destiny to challenge me?

Or are you already growing soft on me?

You will never stop me…

I closed my eyes at those memories, I just wanted to forget them, they are only there to pain me… but I couldn't, as much as I wanted to I couldn't. My heart ached and it was never getting any better. Was it truly so hard to have a normal life?

"Arcos, here you are.", a voice suddenly spoke up from beside me. I opened my eyes again at looked at Brelof who had stepped beside me, looking into the distance too.

"Deep in thought, eh? I can't tell which tasks you have but being the Dragonborn himself will mean something. I wish I could help you somehow.", Brelof said kindly when suddenly a question came into my mind.

"Could you answer me a question?", I muttered.

"Everything which isn't beyond my Knowledge.", he almost replied instantly.

"What makes life truly precious for you?", I asked a bit uncertain. His eyes widened for a moment before he smiled instead.

"A place which you can call home, a nice work, and somebody you truly love and loves you back.", Brelof replied warmly before he looked at me with a small smile.

"And I'm sure that you will have all of that. You deserve it, never think otherwise.", he said before he walked inside of the ship again. What have I done to get such friends… I will do everything I can to protect them. Somebody I love and who loves me back… I wonder if somebody like that even exists. At least I feel a bit better now… I looked into the distance again, my eyes slowly getting a bit tired before I decided to close them for a moment. Only for a moment…

I suddenly awoke in a chamber, the walls around me were made out of stone but seemed to be very old. And instead of a door it just had a big opening on one side… where am I? I felt really cold for some reason, and I realized that I didn't had my armor on but instead I only had pants and shoes, the cold night air from outside making me shiver slightly even with my resistance. If I would only find a shirt of some sort…

Suddenly I heard a roar from outside, I turned around and saw a certain black dragoness flying into the chamber, landing gently in front of me. I gasped when she growled while eyeing me passionately.

"I hate being without you. You look cold…", Alduin said quietly before she stepped closer towards me. She licked my chest before she pulled me towards her and wrapped her wings around me, shielding me from the World… my thoughts were clouded, I couldn't do otherwise but let her. She was so warm… I could feel her bladed tail wrapping around my waist while she looked into my eyes.

"My beautiful Dovahkiin…you're mine."

"Another ship in sight!", a voice suddenly brought me out of my dream. How much time passed? What was that? My eyes quickly shot open and I looked into the distance where a soldier was pointing at and saw another ship, still small in the distance and sailing into our direction. It didn't look like a pirate ship and I could slowly recognize the flag it had. The Imperials. A soldier ran towards me, bowing.

"Orders, sir.", he said and looked at me.

"They still don't know we're enemies. Make the catapults ready and load them, if we can destroy the ship instead, then all the better.", the soldier nodded and spread the news. I wonder why they haven't joined the Stormcloaks if they hate the Emperor… maybe those are the ones who despise the Emperor as much as they also despise the Stormcloaks. Neutral, just as me…

I turned around and walked towards some of the soldiers who were loading a catapult, Brelof also standing there. When he saw me he spoke up.

"Do we have a plan if they are trying to escape?", he asked while watching the soldiers.

"Yes, don't worry. It would be pathetic from them, but I have a plan. But it is risky, we have to win.", I muttered and looked at the ground but Brelof quickly assured me.

"I have no doubt we're going to win with you on our side.", he said kindly before helping the soldiers loading the catapults. I wish I would have no doubts… no matter what, I will make sure you're all going to survive. I'll protect you all as best as I can. The Imperial ship became bigger the more our ships came closer to each other. But I still can't see what they're doing…

"We're ready to fire at your order, sir.", a soldier beside me said. I only nodded and looked at the enemy ship again… this is the time for me to test a new shout I've learnt when I asked Arngeir about this Meteor shout of Alduin. He didn't know what kind of Thu'um Alduin used but he had something else instead…

"Strun Bah Qo!", I shouted towards the sky, everyone looked at me in confusion and awe, when dark clouds started to form on the sky and it heavily started to rain, while thunders came down everywhere too, especially on the Imperial ship. But they were never hitting us, that's the good was when suddenly big stones were being shot from the Imperials and towards our ship, some of them crashing against the wood of our ship.

"We're under attack!", one of the soldiers shouted.

"So it begins…", I muttered. Brelof ran towards me with a bow in his hand.

"At your command, Arcos.", he said while the soldiers waited for my orders, everyone looking at me. I sighed and looked up again towards the enemy ship.

"Fire.", I muttered.

"Fire on!", Brelof shouted and my soldiers immediately returned the fire towards the Imperial ship. More stones crashed against our ship while I took out my own bow, gettin ready when both of our ships came closer.

I sat on one of the big stones in Skuldafn, thinking about what Mother said to me…

I suddenly perked my head up when I could clearly hear the voice of Arcos in the distance.

"Strun Bah Qo!", so he is facing one of his enemies if Odahviing was right… Arcos has learned much since my first Encounter with him…

Little yet so strong… and his soul… was Mother right? Should I just decide otherwise? No… I can't, I just can't! I have to prepare for the upcoming battle… there everything will end.

I took an arrow and fired it against the first Penitus Oculatus Agent I saw on their ship, hitting him in his chest which killed him. The stone fire changed into an arrow fire, my soldiers standing their ground while the Imperials tried to invade our ship, using wooden planks to get onto our ship. Thunders came down onto them, burning them alive while others were being shot down by my soldiers. An Imperial charged towards me before I threw my bow away and pulled out my steel sword to engage him. He slashed his sword at me which I quickly blocked with my own before he tried it again which I also had to block but this time he used his sword to push me back a bit. He charged at me again before I slashed my sword against his knee making him stagger for a moment before I slashed two quick hits against his chest and face, killing him. I looked around to see all of my soldiers engaged in battle even though we had the Advantage with the thunders, those Penitus Oculatus guys were well trained. I didn't had time to recover when two other Imperials charged at me, both slashing their swords at me at the same time. I didn't had the time to counterattack and continually had to block every hit. This is enough!

"Fus Ro Dah!", I shouted them from the ship, before I charged at the next soldier standing between me and my way towards the Imperial ship. However this one didn't had time to even try to attack me when a quick arrow into the head sent him into the death. I looked behind and saw two soldiers of mine running towards me.

"We're right behind you, sir!", one of them said before they both pulled out their steel swords as well.

"Good, follow me.", I ordered and the three of us got onto the enemy ship, five other soldiers of mine already trying to stand their ground there. We're slowly pushing them back… suddenly an arrow hit one of my following soldiers into his chest, killing him before the Imperial who did this charged at my second following soldier. I boiled with anger, he will pay! He looked at me when he suddenly saw me charging towards him and changed his target before he tried to slash his sword at me instead but I blocked before I rammed the hilt of my sword against his face before I cut his head off.

"You alright?", I asked my second soldier to which he nodded.

"Kinda, thanks sir.", he replied before I mentioned him to follow me again before I suddenly heard Brelof calling for me. I turned around while he ran towards me through the battle.

"Arcos, you must hurry and go inside of their ship and find the Emperor. We will finish this, don't worry!", he said before another Imperial soldier attacked him. I looked at my following soldier.

"Let's go.", I said to which he nodded before we both made our way towards a wooden door which led deeper into the ship. An Imperial was just about to go outside when me and my following soldier suddenly entered the lower deck. I was stunned for a moment but my soldier quickly reacted and pushed the Imperial to the ground before slashing his sword through the Imperial's chest to which he didn't got up anymore. We both searched through the ship until we came to another door where two other Imperials were currently in a conversation, with their swords ready.

"We have to protect the Emperor, don't let anybody near this door!", one of them said, probably the leader of the soldiers.

"Yes captain!", the other Imperial replied before they both noticed me and my soldier. My soldier already had his bow and an arrow ready and fired it into the chest of the captain who fell dead to the ground while I charged at the remaining soldier. He blocked my first hit before I pulled out my dagger with my free hand and quickly slashed it at his throat to which he fell dead to the ground. I looked at the door the captain had been talking about.

"This one had a key, sir.", my soldier said while looting the captain of the Imperials before handing me the key. It opened the door smoothly before we both got ready to enter.

I pushed the door open and we both entered, but the sight in front of us was unbelievable. The Emperor lay dead on his chair in the middle of the room, a sword pierced through his chest. A Breton and an Imperial soldier were standing in front of him, before the Breton turned around to look at me. He was clapping.

"I'm amazed you managed to get here, that my soldiers still haven't killed all of you.", the Breton laughed.

"Who are you!? What have you done?", I almost shouted, my soldier and the Imperial soldier eyeing each other, ready to tear each other apart.

"My name is Amaund Motierre. Just a simple member of the Elder council, nobody you have to worry about. I mean, you have proven to be much more useful than those fools of the Dark Brotherhood.", he chuckled.

"Explain yourself.", I muttered without any emotion. What the hell is going on…

"You still don't know? I've been helping you to kill the Emperor, it's as simple as that.", he continued with a smirk.

"What? I don't even know you!", I replied with disgust.

"But you know Teldir. And where do you think this fool got his information from, hm? He's been playing his part as blind as you have. You know, I've spent many years of planning to get this far. And originally it was my plan to use the Dark Brotherhood to deal with the dirty work, but they've proven to be useless… when all of them were killed.", he continued.

"What the hell are you talking about? Why should you want the Emperor dead? The dragons are not even your problem to solve and I doubt you would care about it!", I muttered with a glare but he only chuckled.

"Oh, I almost forgot that little detail. This little lie worked out better than I thought. You see, when the Dark Brotherhood was destroyed by the Penitus Oculatus, I had to think of a new plan to get rid of the Emperor. And then you came into my mind, I mean, the great Dragonborn everyone here is talking about. Maybe you would prove to be more useful instead of those fools who call themselves assassins. So I only had to think of something which could… gain your interest instead. So I just had to think of something to which you would react. A simple lie that the Emperor is such an evil person who wants to get the dragons on his side, and there you are, ready to help me. If I would have only known how easy it it to get your help… do you even know how ridiculous that sounds? The Emperor trying to get the dragons on his side… even though you didn't know it.", Motierre said with a smirk. What!?

"N-no, this can't be… all of this… everybody who died here only because of you… it was just a lie!?", I shouted with complete anger. The Emperor was innocent? And his soldiers… they had no idea… and were just trying to protect him… while this rat just used it as an opportunity to kill him while he was unguarded!

"If you want to put it simple, then yes. The Emperor is dead, and I got what I wanted. You don't even know what service you have done for Tamriel! But I presume you don't really care about politics, right? But it doesn't matter anyway. You know, my soldiers out there still don't know about the death of the Emperor. How about this? I'm going to kill you and tell them that you were responsible? I mean, who would they rather trust? A member of the Elder council or their attacker? I wonder... And while I'm about to do this, your soldiers out there will be torn into pieces. I got what I wanted, and you have been a really useful tool for me.", he chuckled before the Imperial soldier behind him pulled out his sword. He can't be serious. I will cut his head off. I looked at my following soldier who was already ready and looked at me. I could imagine his expression. He wanted to kill those cowards as painfully as possible and this time I couldn't argue with that. Those two have deserved the worst fate I could imagine.

"You have no idea.", I whispered.

I pushed the door open and was met with an amazing sight. I saw two spectral ghosts shooting some kind of blue magic at a creature to keep a barrier around it. This creature… it was like a Draugr but head special kind of robes and a Mask on… also it had an interesting staff… it had to be one of those special Dragon Priests I've read about. Those Masks are powerful artifacts. It is said that Alduin herself had given a few special Priests one of those Masks… but which was the most interesting and important thing was the Scroll this Dragon Priest had on his back. The Elder Scroll.

I looked at the two ghosts who were keeping the barrier around the Priest. Looks like this is the only way to get the Scroll for Arcos. I fired several lightning spells at the two ghost to which they disappeared before the barrier around the Dragon Priest slowly began to fade. Now I have to defeat one of the strongest Dragon Priests from ancient times…

The Priest didn't bothered to look at me for too long and instead fired strong lightning spells at me which I absorbed with my protection spell. Somehow he could use really much spells while his magicka doesn't seem to vanish… this Mask has to give him special powers. He used another spell and a lightning shield appeared around him. But instead of using another destruction spell he charged his staff instead and fired a blue and strong energy beam at me. Since he could drain my magicka almost instantly before I didn't doubt that it had to do with this staff.

I took my magicka together and focused every bit of energy on my next lightning spell before I fired it against the blue beam of light and counterattacked with this. The two energies collided and struggled for dominance, I had to focus while he had to give more power from his staff into the attack. It is just a matter of stamina…

The earth itself began to shake slightly at the energy which was released, the room was filled in a bright light before the energy exploded in a giant shockwave knocking both of us back and sent us flying against the wall which took the air out of my lungs for a moment. Everything was dizzy and I felt no magicka at all within me right now.

I opened my eyes and coughed, I could see the staff on the ground in front of me… he must have dropped it. I tried to move but my whole body refused to and hurt like hell before I fell forward. I can't give up now, I came so far! I pushed myself forward with my arms but on the other side I could see the Dragon Priest slowly recovering as well, trying to get to the stuff too. I made haste and was just about to reach it when suddenly another hand grabbed the staff. I looked up to see Morokei floating in front of me with the staff now in his hands again.

"This is your end.", the Priest spoke before he charged a last attack with the staff. I saw an old Nord sword on the ground only a few meters away, before I looked back to the Priest and then to the sword again. It doesn't matter now, I have to try! I focused again and used every bit of magicka I would possibly have and used my Telekinesis spell and grabbed the sword when it was in front of before I brought my strength together and pushed the sword through the priest's chest.

I only heard a pained cough before the Dragon Priest looked at the sword which was now pierced through his chest before he turned into ashes, leaving only the Mask, staff and Elder Scroll. I've done it!

My following soldier just cut the head of the Imperial soldier off while I threw the sword of Motierre away before hitting him with the hilt of my sword to which he fell to the ground while my soldier stepped beside me, seemingly enjoying this and so did I…

"W-wait, maybe I can make you an offer and you-"

"Silence! I will let you feel how it is to die.", I muttered coldly.

"N-no plea", he couldn't continue when I interrupted.

"Yol Toor Shul!", a wave of fire burned him and made a quick deal with his flesh until only the ashes were left, I didn't care that the wood had caught fire, this ship should burn along with this coward!

"Let's get out of here.", I said to which my soldier nodded. He left the room while I took one last glance at the Emperor before guilty hit me.

If only I would have known…

When I came out of the lower deck, I was met with the sight of the Imperial soldiers dead on the ground while my soldiers cheered when they saw me and the dark stormclouds began to fade away. Brelof walked towards me with a happy expression.

"You did it! We have won! Why the sad expression? Oh, oh I'm sorry for the soldiers who have died during this battle…", Brelof said but I shook my head.

"It's… it's not just that… I… I just can't talk right now. Let's get out of here.", I muttered while looking at the ground before we got onto our ship again, from the 16 soldiers were 10 left. The soldier who had been with me during the battle with Motierre went to explain the situation to Brelof as far as he could instead and I was grateful for Imperial ship was already starting to sink when we were sailing back towards Windhelm… but at least we've done it.

And that's it! This is the longest chapter I've written so far and I hope you liked the changes I made.
