Arngeir took the horn from the Khajiit's hands. He congratulated the pair, then taught Do'mah the final word of power for Unrelenting force.
"Now that you have gotten the last word, what will you do?" Arngeir asked.
"Well, we're going to head over to Kynesgrove. There Is a dragon nearby. I'm going to kill it." Do'mah replied.
"Then I wish you the best of luck Dragonborn." Argneir then bid them farewell.
...
"So you turned up after all," Delphine said In a condescending voice.
"As much as I hate the concept of proving myself, I can't let Innocents die." Do'mah replied, Irritation seeping Into his voice.
"Look!" Pentel raised her hand and pointed to a black mass In the sky.
"Is that…" Delphine spoke.
"...The world eater." Do'mah finished her sentence.
As they looked on In shock, the ground rumbled as The world eater spoke. Soon, the mound was torn apart.
...
The Khajiit stood, sword In hand, as the dragon rose from its tomb. The beast roared and turned to the Dragonborn.
The dragon's voice boomed as he spoke "I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair! My lord Alduin requires your death! I am glad to oblige him."
Do'mah replied, "Then let this be your final act of service!"
Sahloknir roared In defiance and opened his mouth, frost tumbled out, flying towards the khajiit. The khajiit answered with a blast of fire.
With his ice negated, Sahloknir flapped his wings and began to fly Into the sky. With his massive form an easy target, Pentel loosed arrows into the dragon. Sahloknir roared and shot a fireball towards the Bosmer.
Do'mah unleashed his thu'um and Intercepted the blast, dispersing it.
"Your Thu'um is strong, for a mortal!" Sahloknir roared
Sahloknir then raced towards the khajiit, Intending to crush him with his body. Realizing this Do'mah put his hand on the ground and concentrated. Focusing all his available Magicka, he encased himself in an ice sphere.
Sahloknir crashed into the sphere but didn't break It. Do'mah quickly destroyed the sphere, which quickly hardened into spears, which shot towards the dragon. Cutting through one of Its wings.
Sahloknir crashed to the ground, his wings too cut to allow him to fly. Delphine stood to the side, impressed at the Khajiit's skill.
The pair began to approach the grounded dragon. Do'mah once again formed an Ice Spear, and struck the Beats In the neck. Pentel began to loose arrows Into Its legs.
Sahloknir's life slowly faded, and His body began to burn away, with his soul being absorbed by Do'mah. As the soul entered his body, and Sahloknir's body decayed, Do'mah's vision grew dark.
What the hell?
The feeling gradually went away leaving Do'mah perplexed.
…
With Sahloknir dead, kynesgrove was safe. The group began to discuss their next move next to the bones of the beast.
"I have a feeling the Thalmor are Involved," Delphine said.
Do'mah scratched the back of his head and replied "Hmm. I don't think the thalmor would be foolish enough to revive the world eater."
Pentel spoke next "I agree. I think we're giving the thalmor too much credit. However, I think It would still be smart to look Into them first."
Delphine and Do'mah nodded and they concocted a plan.
…
Racing through the halls, the pair searched for their target, eliminating any thalmor soldiers In their path. Eventually, they found them. Pentel guarded their rear, while Do'mah retrieved the papers.
"Here they are!" Do'mah spoke triumphantly
He quickly scanned the paper, making sure It was the correct one.
When he confirmed It was he went to close the chest, another paper caught his eye, he picked It up to examine It
Thalmor Dossier… Ulfric! And Thalmor Dossier… Esbern?
His eyes widened In surprise, His vision darkened for a split second, startling the khajiit.
Again? Maybe, Its exhaustion
Having retrieved the documents The pair rushed out of the Embassy.
…
They handed the documents to Delphine who examined them.
"You were right Do'mah. It doesn't seem they have any more knowledge than we do." Delphine spoke after she finished.
"I did find something that might be an interesting thought." Do'mah said, he then handed her the Esbern report.
As Delphine read It, her eyes lit up In surprise "Esbern, he's alive!".
…
After reading the report on Esbern. Delphine sent the pair to rescue him. They quickly maneuvered through the ratway, carefully avoiding the thieves guild. When they reached Esbern's location they quickly explained the situation. He eventually agreed to leave, but the thalmor were hot on their heels.
Pentel ran ahead with Esbern, leaving the khajiit to face the small group of thalmor In front of him. Do'mah blocked a strike from a soldier and kicked him down a ledge.
"Damn cat!" a mage yelled out, before launching a blast of frost at the khajiit.
Do'mah quickly cast a ward, before shooting a fireball back at the group. The projectiles collide, creating thick mist. Using this chance to escape, Do'mah used the damp environment to cover their route In a thick wall of Ice.
…
After escaping the Ratway, and heading back to Delphine. Esbern revealed what he knew. The group decided to head to Karthspire. They headed there separately when they arrived the group easily dispatched the forsworn In the area, before proceeding Into Karthspire. The group then made their way through the caverns, then they solved the puzzles and entered Sky Haven Temple.
The group entered the temple. Esbern Immediately rushed towards a wall.
"So what was this prophecy?" Pentel asked
Esbern took a moment then answered "It's written right here… this last panel is talking about Alduin contending directly with the dragon born! Ah, wait…"
Esbern took a moment, he inspected a panel closely then continued "It seems the Nords used a shout to defeat Alduin!"
Do'mah furrowed his brow and responded, "I'm assuming there Isn't a location?"
Esbern inspected It for a moment then answered in a slightly saddened voice "Right. There Is no location here."
"Great. So we are stuck at a dead-end then!" Delphine said In an irritated voice
Do'mah though for a moment, then spoke "Not necessarily. If anyone will know where I can learn this shout, It'll be the greybeards."
The former blades members reluctantly agreed and decided to stay at sky haven and await further news. The pair made their way back to High Hrothgar to ask the greybeards about the shout.
…
"Where did you learn of that?! Who have you been talking to?" Arngeir immediately exploded at Do'mah.
"Arngeir calm down. I was with former blades members, we discovered a wall that spoke about events that happened In the past, one of them mentioned a shout that helped them take down Alduin!"
One of the other greybeards whispered to Arngeir who looked down for a moment then responded
"I apologize for the outburst. I don't know about this shout, but there Is someone who does."
Do'mah looked on with curiosity "Who?"
Arngeir began to walk towards the path leading further up the mountain as he responded
"Paarthurnax"
Arngeir then taught Do'mah another shout, one that would let him climb the mountain and meet Paarthurnax. The pair headed up the mountain, stopping frequently to use the shout again. When they finally reached the peak, the throat of the world, They saw… nothing.
"What the hell? The only thing here Is this wall." Do'mah said
"Unless… Is that even possible?" Pentel said, speaking to no one In particular.
A large shadow blanketed them for a moment, both of them looked up In surprise. With a large crash, the Dragon landed atop the wall. Out of reflex Do'mah reached towards his weapon.
I can tell, He's stronger than any dragon I've ever fought! It's something about his presence!
As his mind raced, his vision once again went black, then returned. The dragon did not attack. It just sat there.
"Wait a minute…" Do'mah gradually relaxed his tense muscles
"Drem Yol Lok. Greetings, wunduniik. I am Paarthurnax. Who are you? What brings you to my strunmah...my mountain?"
Oh! I see! Do'mah thought to himself
"Paarthurnax, I am the Dragonborn! I've come to seek knowledge on a shout that the nords used to defeat Alduin In the past! It is critical to the worlds-"
Paarthurnax Interrupted the khajiit and spoke as he got off of the wall.
"Drem. Patience. There are formalities that must be observed, at the first meeting of two of the dov. By long tradition, the elder speaks first. Hear my Thu'um! Feel it in your bones. Match it, if you are Dovahkiin!"
Paarthurnax turned back towards the wall, and let loose a massive breath of flames, melting the snow In its path, and Crashing into the Wall. After a few moments, Paarthurnax halted his breath of flame. Do'mah squinted his eyes, and could see a new glow on the wall.
He slowly approached the wall and learned the knowledge of the new shout. Unlike the first time he did it, all that time ago, he didn't feel as fatigued from learning the new shout.
"A gift, Dovahkiin. Yol. Understand Fire as the dov do. Now, show me what you can do. Greet me not as mortal, but as dovah!"
The khajiit took a few deep breaths and turned towards Paarthurnax he then unleashed the new shout onto Paarthurnax, flame erupted from his mouth, striking the mighty dragon before him.
Paarthurnax spoke soon after "the dragonblood runs strong in you", even if you are a joor"
After the formalities, Paarthurnax offered to answer the pair's questions, eventually, they got onto their main topic.
"Can you tell me how to learn Dragonrend?" Do'mah asked
Paarthurnax answered the question "While I do not know It, I believe It would be possible to learn It by returning to the time of Its use."
Do'mah looked down and muttered to himself "First use…"
Paarthurnax continued "To do that, an Elder Scroll would be necessary."
Do'mah looked back up towards the dragon "Do you know where to find one?"
Paarthurnax answered the question quickly "No. I do not."
Do'mah looked down, slightly saddened "I see…"
Pentel, who had been listening to the conversation from the side then chimed in "What about the college of Winterhold? They must know where to find one!"
Do'mah looked towards her, eye filled with joy "Pentel that's brilliant! The college has existed for a long amount of time, they must know about its whereabouts!"
The pair quickly excused themselves and headed towards the college.
…
"How hard could finding an elder scroll be?" Do'mah said as they walked back out of High Hrothgar
…
The pair walked into the room. The large apparatus holding the elder scroll hung over their heads. Do'mah walked up the slope, While Pentel stood ready to claim the Elder Scroll.
"Stupid cube… Stupid college… Stupid falmer…" Do'mah angrily spoke to himself as he pulled Arrow after arrow from his armor.
After dropping the last, blood-soaked arrow, The khajiit inserted the cube and began punching buttons, In any order, until gradually the elder scroll was obtained.
...
Opening the Elder Scroll, Do'mah's mind nearly went numb, but he persevered. He saw the Nords fight a doomed battle against Alduin, he saw them use dragonrend and saw them eventually be forced to throw him into the future. He got what they needed, he learned Dragonrend.
…
Closing the elder scroll, Do'mah fell to one knee. The act of all that knowledge being thrown Into your head was both mesmerizing, but scary. A loud booming voice shook Do'mah to his core, It was Alduin.
"Bahloki nahkip sillesejoor. My belly is full of the souls of your fellow mortals, Dovahkiin. Die now and await your fate in Sovngarde!"
Do'mah got up, he had to face Alduin, It was do or die!
"Lost funt. You are too late, Alduin! Dovahkiin! Use Dragonrend, if you know it!" Paarthurnax spoke
Alduin's mouth was engulfed by flame, as he shot It towards the Khajiit. Do'mah rolled out of the way, and released his shout "Joor Zah Frul!"
Alduin's body spasmed and his wings failed him. The great dragon crashed to the ground. Do'mah focused his Magicka and formed a Dozen Ice Spears, and launched them towards Alduin.
Alduin quickly batted them away with his tail and then turned towards the Dragonborn. Opening his mouth, he let out a great roar that quickly turned Into a scorching flame, which sped towards Do'mah faster than before.
Do'mah quickly used his Magicka to create a blizzard, and launched it towards the breath of fire. The two massive projectiles clashed and were both destroyed, merging Into a massive cloud of thick mist, blinding Do'mah and Pentel.
The massive tail of Alduin broke through the fog, striking Do'mah and launching him off the throat of the world. The khajiit was caught Mid air by Paarthurnax, who then landed, dispersing the cloud of mist.
As the mist dispersed, Do'mah jumped back to the ground, Alduins wings began to flap once again, and Do'mah quickly used his thu'um then shot more Ice Spears towards Alduin.
The Dazed Alduin wasn't able to stop them, and they embedded themselves deep Into the World-Eater, who screamed out In pain. Do'mah motioned towards Pentel, who began to harass Alduin with Arrows.
Using his bought time, Do'mah quickly drank Magicka potions, then using his replenish Magicka, He created a dozen rune's under Alduin, then snapped his fingers. A dozen Ice spears launched into Alduin from the ground below. Alduin screamed out In pain once again.
Alduin shouted, and moments later, meteors fell from the sky. Do'mah looked up In shock, and using that Opening, Alduin broke free from the spikes and Launched a breath of fire towards the Dragonborn. Do'mah unleashed his thu'um and shot his own, which clashed against Alduin's. The fireballs clashed for a moment, before exploding.
A booming voice from above got the khajiit's attention.
"Meyz mul, Dovahkiin. You have become strong. But I am Al-du-in, Firstborn of Akatosh! Mulaagi zok lot! I cannot be slain here, by you or anyone else! You cannot prevail against me. I will outlast you... mortal!"
Looking up, Do'mah gritted his teeth. With that, Alduin retreated. panted heavily, the khajiit, made his way towards Paarthurnax.
"We... won." Do'mah said between breaths
Paarthurnax responded," Yes, but this isn't the end. He is weakened, you have to find him again, and kill him. One of his minions may know where to find his hiding place. I will teach you the shout for one of his minions, Odahviing."
With the shout to call Odahviing learned, Do'mah and Pentel then headed to Whiterun, to discuss trapping him there...
