AN: This is the chapter where things start getting disturbing and dark

Aadarm: no...for now because she isn't the same kind of dragon. You see the System altered Tamrielic history to fit her in so in this world rather than making 1 kind of dragon Akatosh made 2 but was trying to make one. One had immortality and the power of the voice but were driven to dominate and destroy (Alduin, Paarthurnax, Oodaving, etc.) while the other could breed and grew stronger the longer they existed but were little more than animals (Drogon, Verserion, Raegial, etc. etc.). In my mind I think of it as one kind was made of fragments of Akatosh's soul while the other from drops of his blood and thus both are 2 halves of a far greater whole

Previously
'I really need to eat some mages so I can increase my Magical Power' I thought as I neared my cave but as I entered I discovered something that ruined my good mood.
'WHERE THE HELL IS THAT BRAT!?' was my thought as I roared in outrage.

"So you're telling me we have a mage running around summoning daedra, burning my people to ash, and kidnapping a, potentially more, child is that correct?" I asked my court mage who was kneeling before me.
He raised his head and looked me in the eye "yes my Jarl I believe so."
I stood up and looked at my second in command "Galmar order the guards and soldiers to keep their eyes open for anyone looking suspicious we don't need this on top of the war and our current murder problems" "of course Jarl Ulfric I'll see to it personally" he said before leaving the room.

Now
I ran and I ran and I ran even after the point which I would have normally collapsed from exhaustion. When I heard the enraged roar behind me I sped up. Just as I crested to ridge and saw Windhelm in the distance a weight slammed into my back sending me to my knees and my face into the snow. As I went to rise I felt a set of jaws grab my neck and a pair of wings beside my head.
(You know pet I'm going to have to punish you don't you?) I heard in my head causing me to break down as it's jaws left my neck only to grab and tear off my clothes as something hard and rigid pressed against my bottom. "Please don't" I beg as tears well up in my eyes. (But sweet little pet you misbehaved so you must be punished) I could feel it's anger and sick pleasure in its words right before I screamed as it entered me and forced me to look at Windhelm knowing my salvation was so close but out of reach.

I relaxed back in my cave as I watched Sofie curled and crying herself to sleep as thick steaming (literally) white fluids poured out of her and covered in claw and teeth marks.
'Now I need to figure out a way to avoid a repeat of her escape as well as learn some magic. Any recommendations System' I ask.
[For it's utility I would advise the Skill Magic Circle]
[While it doubles the cost of spells cast with it, it allows you to cast numerous spells from various locations]
'Yeah that would be useful and the doubled cost isn't even that bad' I thanked it as I started to imagine a magic circle symbols and script in Dovahzul with an image of me biting my own tail in the center all a dark purple color.
[Skill Created: Magic Circle]
[Magic Circle (Passive/1): can create 1 circle per level and place it anywhere within 10 feet per level and cast a spell through it/them. Doubles cost of spells cast using a circle]
Alright now to make some attack spells and maybe some other types as well.

'That last one while not quite what I was trying for is still very useful' I think as I crawl over and curl around Sofie who had fallen asleep and decided to join her in the land of dreams.
—————————————————————————————————————
As I woke up I noticed I'd grown again though only from the size of a large dog to a small horse or large pony. My tail snapped out and wrapped around Sofie's waist (you aren't trying to escape again are you?) I ask her as I open one of my eyes to see her squirm. "No I just need to use the restroom" she nervously responded, likely fearing that she'd said the wrong thing only to sigh as I retracted my tail.
(Very well but be quick we will be moving soon so as not to draw more attention) I inform her as she moves to an adjacent chamber causing her to momentarily pause before nodding her head and continuing on. 'Now where to go? I know some good defensible locations but they are already claimed and defended' I thought as I got up and stretched. One place comes to mind as it was one of my favorites in the game 'Deepwood Redoubt, of course all I have to do is seal the main entrance through the tomb and tada a stronghold that can only be entered via the air or risking a great deal of harm by climbing. All I'll have to do is 'evict' its current resident' I internally cackle at the thought of eating all those forsworn. As I see Sofie come back I toss the pelts of the foxes to her before walking towards the exit.

I sigh as I drop my rucksack on the snow covered ground and sit on a nearby rock lost in thought while Lydia continues to stand watch over me. 'Who would of thought that little Nila Snowstorm a Nord Altmer halfbreed would end up being the legendary dragonborn?' I couldn't help chuckling to myself Lydia looked over "my Thane?" I waved off her worry before asking as I dug out my water skin and some jerky "how much farther do you think it is the High Hrothgar Lydia?" She looked around and thought about it for a moment before saying "I believe we are half way there so not too much longer" I nodded as I golped down my water before tearing a chunk out of the meat. I looked up seeing that we had a few more hours of sunlight left and stood up grabbing my sack "well come on I'd appreciate a warm bed tonight" I said as I took the next step up.

As the certain mountains I was looking for came into sight I activated Forcefield and readied to use Magic Circle to bombard the Forsworn with spells so as to practice and level them up but first things first. As I near Deepwood Redoubt I make sure to pour fire all over the entrance to seal it off and drop off Sofie there.
(Now pet don't run off because if any Forsworn see you they will do worse then me to you) I warn her as I take off again and fly over the mountain to begin my bombardment starting with Fire Bolts. Shortly afterwards at about the same time they started attacking back since I was doing this during the day and from what I saw there were at least a hundred of the rodents down there.
[Fire Bolt is now level 2]
[Magic Circle is now level 2]
I make another circle this time firing Ice Spike. And so my target practice continued for some time.
—————————————————————————————————————
After several hours and the sun setting all those out in the open were dead or had fled inside the ruins while I well I was doing great.
[Fire Bolt is now level 40]
[Ice Spike is now level 40]
[Lightning Bolt is now level 40]
[Wind Cutter is now level 40]
[Magic Circle is now level 40]
[Forcefield is now level 20]
Yeah I was definitely doing great as I canceled Forcefield and landed as my Energy was starting to get low. First I knocked down the entrance to the front ruins and poured flames in to destroy it before turning around and heading towards the main ruin all the while eating the corpses of Forsworn, Prisoners, and Cattle.
As I approached the main entrance I saw one of the older men exit arms wide and unarmed before yelling towards me "we surrender, great dragon please spare us and we will serve you!"
'Well that wasn't what I expected' I thought as I stopped approaching and considered the proposal. (Very well but on one condition) he seems momentarily surprised but answered anyway "what would that be Great One if it is within our power to provide it will be done" (bring me all your young girls) I reply giving a Draconic facsimile of a smile.
He hesitantly nods before turning around and reentering the ruins.
[Telepathy is now level 2]
After a few minutes the old man comes back along with 3 girls, one hand curly black hair and green eyes and appeared to be a little older then Sofie so I'd say she was 12 maybe 13. The second had straight brunette hair and grey eyes and was maybe 9. The third and final one had ash grey hair and pink eyes and looked the same as Sofie so maybe 10 or 11. (Come closer girls and tell me your name) I order as I focus on them

The first stepped forward and pointed to each of them as she introduced them "I'm Mila, this is Sara, and that is Sil Great One." (Good little ones now come stand beside me as I finish up here) I order as I turn back to the old man.
Once the girls are out of the way I pour flames from my maw and reduce the old man to ash and continue on to those inside even as the girls scream and beg me to stop.
