Sorry about the long hiatus, first my computer broke, then I've been busy so that is why I'm a little late
After finally finding a beggar he heads home to rest and recover, he removes his weapons and leans them on a wall, and then takes his armour and leaving the black shirt on and sits on the mattress to relax, he then remembers the toy he got and takes it out an puts it on his bed.
Feeling his eyes get heavy he decides to lie down and get some much-needed rest, after all even Dragonborns need a good night sleep.
After a while he hears noises and wakes to see Hestia and Bell arriving back holding a few small bags which is emitting a faint smell.
"You guys are back." He rubs his eyes to get rid of the tiredness.
"Yeah, Goddess Hestia felt a lot better so we decided to get back and we also stopped and got dinner." Bell shows the bag more clearly.
Drago hears his stomach growl and gets up to get his dinner, taking a seat on the couch and eats his sandwich.
The next day Bell and Drago decided to head to the 7th floor killing all sorts of creatures and collecting their magic stones.
Drago jumps back avoiding the pincers of a giant ant and quickly stabs it in the head killing it instantly.
Bell rushes forwards and slashes at the side of the ant killing it.
With the last of the creatures killed, the two adventurers decide to take a seat on some rocks.
Bell looks to Drago with a smile "So, want to head back up? We did manage to get a good amount this time?"
Drago doesn't say anything and stares down a random path, as his dragon soul is telling him something is wrong.
"Drago are you alright?" Bell asks his friend.
The Dragonborn turns to the boy "Yeah, listen Bell I'm going to the deeper levels."
Bell blinks confused, "Why? The deeper levels are where the stronger monsters are…" he stops remembering that he's a level 6 "Sorry I forgot you are a first-class adventurer."
"No need, you head back up this is something I want to do alone, so tell Goddess Hestia I won't be back soon." And with that heads off to the deeper level.
On the 16th level he is surrounded by black wolves all with fire in their mouths, feeling not like fighting he takes a deep breath "KAAN DREM OV!" a wave of purple energy covers the area, pacifying the beasts and making them no longer interested in Drago.
Now that the monsters leave him alone, he continues his way to the 18th floor to see what is like.
The 17th floor is a large white room, not liking the look of things draws his Nightingale Sword and moves in slowly not wanting to be caught off guard as that can normally spell a quick death.
Once he is half way through the ground starts to shake violently and the side of the walls starts to crumble revealing a large monster bigger than any dragon, even larger than Alduin.
Even Drago is not suicidal to take that thing on, so he starts running to the entrance he could see on the other side of the room.
The monster goes for a grab, but Drago quickly slices its hand making it recoil in pain,
"WULD NAH KEST" with the power of his voice, he is rushed over to the other end, and when he stops the ground isn't flat but slops downwards "Carp." Drago braces when he lands and slides down.
The Last Dragonborn sees the exit and at the last second, he jumps and when he lands, he rolls on the ground to break the fall.
"In the name of Akatosh, why is there a monster of that size above us." He says as he dusts off his armour.
Drago notices the forest surrounding him which is quite odd for being so deep underground. That trees are growing, he then looks up to see a large crystal lighting the area up "Oh, so that's how the trees grow down here."
Hearing some people, he hides in the shadow, and sees a small group of adventurers, one female and two males, the male and female carrying swords and shield, as well as lightly armoured, the other male is wearing no armour but clothes with a cape and wielding a staff, Drago guesses he is the spellcaster.
"Man getting here was tuff." The male swordsman says while putting his hands behind his head
"At least we took the alternate root, I would've hated to face the Goliath on the 17th floor." The Male spellcaster says while holding the staff tightly.
"I've got to agree, taking on a Goliath when we are only level 2s is suicide." The female swordsman agrees.
Drago on the other hand felt a bit stupid, if he knew about the alternate route, he would have taken that over going through that death trap.
Deciding that the best course of action would be to follow them as they could lead him to civilisation.
After a short time, he sees a small village with poorly constructed buildings, and people selling items, some of them in poor quality.
But something is amiss, this town is to quite not as active as it should be, as he walks, he passes by a strange fellow wearing a hood with bandages covering his face.
Drago stops and turns to look back at the man, something about that man screams dangerous he could also notice a faint smell of death clinging to him like bad cheese.
Turning around he decides to follow him, he sees him turn a corner and quickly follows him, Drago turns the corner to be greeted by nothing but an edge.
In case of an ambush Drago draws his Nightingale Sword and walks forward taking each step carefully, he reaches the edge and peers over to see literally nothing but a sea of trees, "this day keeps getting weirder by the second." Sheathing his blade and turns around.
As he is walking, he keeps his guard up in case that person tries to pull a fast one, but that is not the only thing that is bothering him, he feels like someone is watching him and that makes him very uncomfortable.
"Hey you're that guy from Monsterphilia." A high-pitched voice calls out.
Drago snaps out of his thought to see Lefiya, Aiz, Tione and Tiona along with the green haired elf and a short blonde-haired boy, "It's you, what are you doing here?"
"we were just going for stroll in the dungeon, we were about to rest in the Inn but we found a body with his face crushed, his name was Hasahana Dorlia, he was a member of the Ganesha Família." Riveria explains.
Interested in the situation he decides to ask further question, but gives a tone that he doesn't care "And? adventures die all the time what makes his case interesting."
"The man was a level 4 adventurer and someone managed to kill him with ease shouldn't that make you at least a bit worried." Tione tells the Breton.
"I've faced far worse; whoever this person is they should be the ones to watch out I ain't going to run in fear." With that Drago walks past them and allow events to play out and intervene when the time is right.
One a ledge far from the city a masked figure is standing looking at the city feeling a rival force, "Now Dragonborn let us fight again and this time fate will be on my side,"
After a while Drago is hiding in the forest looking at a large gathering of adventurers with the Loki Família presiding over a large group of suspects.
A man with an eye patch steps forward crossed arm "Listen up, a man was murdered due to being seduced by the most cunning of enemies a woman's seductive charms." Then a large grin appears on his face "So that means full inspection of the girls, clothes off!"
At that moment all the girls have a look of anger while the men start to lose their cool and smile with perverted grins, all the while Drago couldn't believe what he heard, that guy must be an idiot.
He continues to observe the situation and is wondering how people like the Loki Família could exist with members like that Amazon with the large breasts, as she is kicking other girls away who are surrounding the small boy.
On the corner of his eye he sees a girl try and sneak away holding a brown sack thinking he might have found the killer he uses an invisibility spell and quickly tails her.
She enters the forest to try to cover her tracks she stops and takes a few deep breaths to catcher breath, once she catches her breath, she starts running but her body suddenly feels heavy and topples over.
"I'm glad that I studied the paralysing spell before leaving the College, I knew it would come in handy." Walking over he turns the body over and grabs the sack and looks down at the girl "You've should have been a bit more careful kid, you don't know who is prowling the woods, especially with a murder about." He chuckles to himself.
With that joke said he decided to see his prize, but a couple of adventures join the party, both Lefiya and Aiz see Drago holding a sack with a body of a chienthrope on the ground.
They draw their weapons and ready for a fight, but Drago defuses the situation "I didn't kill her, I just paralyzed her, she should be back to normal in half an hour."
"No, we won't, I'll remove the paralysis spell ." Lefiya goes to the girl kneels and cast a cure spell on the girl.
The girl's body relaxes and she quickly gets up and looks around realising that she doesn't have the bag anymore she then notices it in the Dragonborn's hand and tries to get it back but having the superior strength he holds her back.
"Give that back, you stole it." She takes another swipe, but the Nightingale jumps back. "stop moving!"
"That's rich coming from a thief who steals from the dead, if you're going to steal have the decency to steal from the living." He dodges another swipe.
"I didn't steal it I was told to get an item from an adventurer on the 18th floor and bring it back to the surface." The girl explains while taking deep breaths.
"What do you mean?" The Sword Princess asks.
"The guy gave it to me, and told me go back to the surface as fast as possible." The dog girl explains again.
"And what could be so important that you had to get back up there." Drago takes the item out of the bag and is surprised of the content, a small sphere the size of an apple containing some sort of insect like creature. "What in the name of Akatosh is this?"
"Let me have a look." Aiz requests to look at the thing, which Drago happily obliged, Aiz stares at the object, her hands shaking and then she drops it clutching her head in pain.
"Miss Aiz." Lefiya helps Aiz with the pain.
Drago picks up the sphere and stares at it, he notices the eyes are open but are starting to close, he then puts the ball back in the bag and throws it back to the girl. "Now that things have been cleared up, I'm going home I've had more than enough fun."
"Wait, I want to know your name." the dog girl asks quickly following him
"No." he continues his walk and try to find an alternate route out of here, but he suddenly stops as he can feel a powerful presence no two presences.
"Come on, I'll tell you my name and what Família I'm part off." The girl begs and Drago draws his Katana and the girl jumps back in fear "Eep, I'm sorry sir I didn't mean to offend you in any way." She pleads now.
"Drago."
The Girl blinks "what?"
"Drago, so what's yours."
"Lulune, Lulune Louie."
"Lulune, go get Aiz and the elf and go back to the city." Drago orders the dog girl.
"But why? There is nothing out here." Lulune questions
"Just go!" Drago shouts
Scared of facing the Dragonborn's wrath she did as she was told and headed back to Aiz and Lefiya.
Once they left, he turns to his left to see an enemy "Miraak, why am I not surprised." He points the sword at the First Dragonborn.
"I would've been more disappointment if you've forgotten me." Miraak draws his sword and gets into battle stance
Drago also into readies his blade for the battle to commence, both Dragonborn charge and with swing of their weapons strike each other's sword creating sparks.
Both try again with another strike but this time they interlock coming face to face.
"What's the matter Drago, why are you holding back? You should be stronger by now." Miraak insults as he pushes The Nightingale back.
Drago pushes back creating a deadlock, he then does a front kick to make Miraak stumble back but he regains his footing in time to block a slash to his head.
He pulls the sword back creating sparks as It grinds on the sword, he pulls back and aims for the heart intending to impale the Fallen Dragon Priest.
"FIEM ZII GRON" Miraak shouts making him enteral and the sword slip harmlessly into the Dragon Priest.
Quickly deciding to make a retreat and so that he can rethink his plan of attack, but one thing is been bothering him, "What are you planning Miraak?"
The Dragon Priest regains his solidity "Drago it should be obvious, if I cannot have Tamriel then this world will suffice these gods are weak willed and will easily fall under my will." Miraak points sword at Drago "And the only thing stopping me is a certain thief pretending to be a hero."
Drago snarls and is about to charge in again, but an earthquake hits the area and makes The Last Dragonborn lose his footing he looks to his let to see the same plant monster that attacked him during the festival appear.
"FUS RO DAH" Miraak shouts, surprising Drago and making him be pushed back while destroying a few trees hitting the wall and making a small rumble.
Drago shakily gets up and grabs his head, when his vision steadies, he growls and looks around for his sword to see it lodge in a rock, so he quickly runs to it and takes it out.
He turns to direction he thinks Miraak is to see nothing.
"AAAAAAAH!" He hears a scream of particular Elf, he then realises Miraak is now after them.
"So, you are the one that has the object she wants, can't imagine why." Miraak says as he makes his way to Lulune and Lefiya.
"Stay back, I warn you." Lefiya threatens.
The First Dragonborn doesn't stop and continues his way.
Lefiya prepares a spell to kill him "Spirits of the Forest, hear my cry grant me the strength to defeat this opponent and cast his soul to be judge." She points her staff to Miraak "Judgment Arrow!"
"FIEM ZII GRON." The arrows go throw him and hit the area behind him creating small explosion.
"B-but how it should've hit him." Lefiya says with confusion.
Lulune draws her knife and charges at Miraak, but Miraak cast a spark spell pushing her back and causing extreme pain as electricity surges through her body.
"Lulune!" Lefiya charges in swinging her staff but the Dragon Priest catches the staff disarms the elf and grabs her by the neck lifting her up with ease.
"You are a feisty one, but shame it won't save you or your friend." Miraak increases the pressure around her neck slowly killing her.
"Miss Aiz, please save me." The elf pleads.
"Tempest."
Miraak jumps back barely avoiding a slash letting go of the girl and stopping the sparks.
"So, another pest joins the fight no matter I am the First Dragonborn and no mere mortal can defeat me." Miraak bouts.
"Dragonborn what is he talking about, he looks nothing like a dragon." Lefiya wonders what he is saying.
"Enough Miraak, the girl is mine." A new voice calls, to the First Dragonborn.
"That wasn't the deal we agreed to, I would deal with these pests." Miraak complains.
"Deals changed I will deal with Aria." The person in question is a man wearing heavy armour with half of the face covered in bandages.
"Do you have a reason to fight that girl?"
"That is none of your concern." The man tares his face off to reveal a woman with red eyes with slit in her eyes.
Everyone besides Miraak and Aiz have a look of horror as she was wearing an actual human face, and takes out a large sword.
"Very well, if you want them, I'll take the elf and dog." Miraak prepares to take them on.
"Miraaaak!" a man shouts, and with a large thud, Drago arrives covered in enteral armour in the form of a dragon "I'm not done yet."
"Drago how nice of you to join the fight, I was worried you ran off like a coward." Miraak insults the Last Dragonborn again.
The Last Dragonborn looks to the Loki Família "Don't interfere with my fight with Miraak."
"Very well Drago." Miraak takes a deep breath "MUL QAH DIIV." Like Drago the Dragon Priest is enveloped an in ethereal dragon armour and drawing his sword.
"Just who are these two, and how do they know each other." Aiz wonders as he looks at
The two charge at each other the force of their swords making a small shockwave, then Miraak takes a leap into the forest with Drago right behind him.
"How powerful are they!?" Aiz puzzles as she sees the two Dragonborns fight.
"Aria you should focus on me, and not on the both of them." The woman calls to Aiz
Aiz focuses on the woman and points her sword "Lefiya take Lulune and get out of here, I'll take her on."
"YOL TOOR SHUL" Miraak shouts
Drago quickly counters "FO KRAH DIIN."
The two shouts collide in a grand sceptical of magic fire and ice splashing all over, some fire hits the trees catching on fire while some ice imbed in the trees forming an ice coating.
The two shouts weaken until they disappear leaving two panting dragonborns
"Just what are you planning Miraak? Its not like you to join forces." Drago asks
"Well, you'll have to wait and find out." Miraak takes a few steps back.
"You've got no where to go Miraak." Drago smirks, this might be the chance he been given.
"I wouldn't say that." Miraak takes a deep breath "GOL NAAK NAHOLT"
Drago stops in his tracks wondering why Miraak shouted Earth, Eating, Silent, then he feels the ground shaking, and then he realises that he called a dragon.
The dragon arises from the ground this one looking a bit more unique, the heads looks flat but rugged with small bumps protruding from its head, it had longer claws then normal almost like they were designed to dig through rock.
"Now Drago I'll leave you to your new challenge, but before I go, ask those people about the Black Dragon." With that Miraak falls back into the hole.
The Nightingale rushes forward and tries to catch him, but it is to late as all he can see is a dark void. Pushing that aside he has a new winged pest to deal with and he notices it attacking the town and so he rushes over.
"Run it's a dragon!" an elf shouts before being cooked alive.
"Archers take aim and shoot that monster down." A man orders
The men aim at the dragon and unleash a cascade of arrows some managing to pierce the hide of the beast but most just bounce of the scaley body.
The dragon uses another fire breath destroying several buildings.
"Archers reload your arrows!" he orders again.
Before the archers could fire again Drago rushes past them, his Dragon's Aspect now gone and with a deep breath he shouts a Dragonrend forcing the giant lizard to land.
Now that the monster is in range, he draws Dragonbane and starts hacking at the lizard, it tries to take a bite but being more nibble, he manages to jump on the dragon's head attempting to pierce its head.
The dragon tries to shake Drago off, but he quickly grabs the horn and with a final thrust he penetrates the head and with a final growl, it flops on to the ground, with The Nightingale jumping off.
Breathing heavily, he swipes his sword to the side removing the blood from the blade and sheathing it and as he does that the Loki Família arrive to see the dragon defeated.
"Wow that guy manages to take on a dragon all on his own, not many adventures can lay claim to such a feat." One guy looks on impressed
"What Família does the guy belong to? The Freya or Loki Família." Another one asks.
Just then everyone jumps bac as they see the corps of the dragon burning up as pieces of the dragon start to flake off. Then the flesh burned up and a strange colourful energy surrounded The Last Dragonborn, leaving the dragon just a skeleton.
Drago takes a deep breath and closes his eyes as he can feel new strength entering his body, while everyone else looks more on the weary side, not knowing what to say.
Aiz wanting answers walks to The Dragonborn ready to draw her sword but the halfling stops her and orders her to stay back while he deals with it.
Finn walks towards the Nightingale with a smile to show he is no threat "Excuse me, I couldn't help but be curious about that ability you have."
Drago looks down to the pallum, "I just simply took its power and knowledge for myself."
On the side lines continues to look at Drago with anger, wondering does this guy have connection with the Black Dragon.
"And how is that possible." Finn tries pushing for more answers.
Drago turns around and starts walking away "Unfortunately that is a secret."
Aiz out of instinct charges to the Dragonborn with intent to get answer but Finn steps to stop her from doing something she is going to regret later.
"No Aiz, if you attack him, it could make the situation worse, let see if he is a threat then we can deal with him." Finn stops the Sword Princess.
Drago walks back with a question. "I've got a question; do you happen to know of a black dragon called Alduin."
Everyone steps back out of fear, while Aiz looks even more angry and this doesn't go unnoticed "I can see that name is known here."
"How do you know the Black Dragon's name?" Lefiya asks
"In my homeland, Alduin is known as the World Eater and was worshiped as a god, by the Old Nords." He gives glimpse into Skyrim's history.
"What do you mean worship as a god?" Riveria asks.
"Its just as I said, Alduin was considered an ill omen and a coming of the age of the world as like I said he was said to devour the previous world, which began ours, hence why he thought as both bringer and destroyer." He deeply explains the history of that dragon
Aiz heard it all, but couldn't believe that any race would worship that vile dragon as some sort of deity, she was about to demand more but that proved difficult as The Dragonborn cast an invisibility spell and sneaks off.
On the other end of the forest the spell ends making him visible again, he leans on a tree and takes a deep breath to try and process things.
He lowers his hood and mask revealing his face "By the Nine, things have gotten complicated quickly, Miraak is here and now Alduin might've returned." Drago takes a deep breath and makes a move out of the dungeon.
After a long trek through the dungeon he arrives back at the Hestia Família with a weary sigh he enters the rundown church.
And when he entered the living area, he sees Bell fling off Hestia with his Falna still activated. "I've got magic!"
Drago rubs his head, not appreciating the loud noise "What in Oblivion, is going on here."
Hestia quickly stands up "Oh, Drago when did you get back?"
"I just got back." Drago leans his sword and razor to the side of the wall and takes off his armour and puts in the closet. "Bell tomorrow I'm going to shop around for some new clothes, so you are going solo in the dungeon." He then lies on his bed and ignores the conversation.
and done hope you guys enjoyed it.
