While having an overpowered ability was nice, the drawbacks were awful! I can't speak properly and my throat burned every time I did! Whatever happened during the fight probably forced me to use the Thu'um to push those dragons away.
"Brother? Do you need something?" The golden orb asked. Speaking of, Aria, the golden orb, is officially my contracted spirit. While not as strong as she once was, she still has a lot of interesting knowledge, namely stories.
I just shook my head no and looked at the book in front. It has been a few hours since I woke up and while most of the pain and damage I received were healed by a combination of numerous close wounds, Healing, fast healing spells, and Elven magic, my throat was not a part of those. I had to rely on Aria to talk.
Thankfully, whatever I did to that dragon made them back off and not talk to me. Except for King Green, who seemed like he was growing some spine. Having nothing to do, I looked at my skills.

Where are my necromancy spells?! I invested in those! I want to spam Bone colossus over and over again! Fucking unbelievable! How was I supposed to be a shadow monarch now?!
If I can't... I can just be a destruction mage. Oh yeah, I'm a sword singer or something according to the class. If I remember this correctly, a sword-singer is basically the Elder scroll's version of Jedi knights.
But it also said I was a sith lord rip-off. Okay, without my enchanted gear, it would be more efficient for me to stick with the basic version of my spells. My staff also needs to be recharged but I do not have any soul gems with me. I only know basic knife fighting from Arnis and I can use them with both Chaos fang (my Stahlrim dagger) and blade of woe.
Apparently, I am a mortal tongue. It appeared in my class description alongside with Pseudo-Dovakhiin. False Dragonborn? Maybe it's because of the way I got here.
Pseudo-Dragonborn: While a Dragonborn is a mortal with the blood and soul of a dragon, you are completely human but with the souls of numerous dragons stored in your human soul, powering it. While unable to instantly learn words of power, you will have a faster rate of understanding with them compared to the non-Dragonborn.
Mortal Tongue: You are a human blessed by a goddess with the ability to use the voice of the dragons.
Yeah, while I can use the Thu'um I would probably not be as strong as the last Dragonborn, Miraak, or Vahlok. Vahlok... Honestly, that guy is amazing! Mad respect! Defeating the first Dragonborn by himself and separating a chunk of land that later became Solstheim? Nice!
I can daydream about the thu'um all I want and while it is powerful, there is a problem. I live in a world filled with demigods and I'm sure I only survived that dragon attack by luck. No memories returned from the time I was blacked out, but by the way the Fahliil looked at me, I knew I helped deal with the Dragon. I need to learn how to fight with weapons and fast!
I might be a mage but I prefer using weapons more. Speaking of weapons- I focused as much as I needed to (not much) and looked at the bound spells I have. Mostly, weapons. Let's pick this...
A miniature purple vortex appeared on my hand and a see-through Daedric sword appeared on my hand. It was sharp and seemed like it had a mind of its own. I wish it was the same as the cursed grass sword that Finn had from adventure...
Oh... wait. Let's see here-
Bound weapons are lesser Daedras that takes the form of weapon. While a summoning is often done and there is a time limit to how long a bound weapon can remain, a contract may be made between the Daedra and the summoner. Each contract may be beneficial only to the summoner or Daedra but most summoning is often on a time limit.
Ah, so basically a familiar in weapon form? While the sword was weightless (and I am definitely not planning on using bound swords as a lightsaber) it was also beautiful and hummed with delight.
Huh?

Powers? Active effects?! Since when did I have... oh yeah, I only focused on my items, not my magic. I mean, my character was a badass werewolf warrior... that only becomes a werewolf to travel faster after hoarding a lot of things.

So yeah, I have all my powers from my Solstheim adventure but no black books. Also, a meditation on the words of power and a nightingale? How?! As far as I know- Oh no! I think one of the thirteen dragon souls I have belongs to my Skyrim character, an imperial male.
Meh, I have better things to do so let's check out my active effects without enchantments.
Seeker of Sorcery: reduces spells' cost by 10% and increases enchanting skill by 10
Magic
Magic Resistance III: Resist 3 out of 10 spells sent your way
Atronach: absorb 3 out of 10 spells sent your way
Recover: recover Magicka 50 % faster
Expert destruction: All destruction spells up to the expert level cost half the required amount.
"Excuse me," An elf, an albino that asway too energetic! Red eyes shined with something similar to excitement. "His majesty has summoned you,"
Why?! I just want to laze in a single space! Having nothing to do! But this asshole of a king just wanted me to meet him in a place with a lot of people?!
Knowing that I would probably not be able to escape.
"Are you alright, little brother?" The grand spirit of wind and my new older sister according to the contract that was signed when I was asleep asked. Other than my throat, I was fine.
"Yeah," While speaking still hurts a bit, I could say some words and only feel a pinch on my throat. It has only been a few hours since I woke up, after all. Curiously, it seems like the battle with the dragon took several hours as King Green told me that they have looked around for a few hours to find me, and when I woke up, it was around dawn.
Luckily, my thieves guild armor set was completely fine and I still have something to wear. The only thing that I have that was similar to something formal was my vampire armor set. Checking my inventory, I quickly equipped the Red and black version of the armor along with the boots.
"Here," The grand spirit of the wind said and I could feel a dent in my magical reserves. The feeling was similar to how a water bottle has its contents thrown and drained away. I could feel a pair of soft hands on my head and styling my hair. After she was done, Aria, now in a semi-corporeal form) held a small mirror and showed me my new hairstyle...
Oh no!
Why do I look like Sir Lances-a-lot-of-married-women?! The hairstyle is neat though! The black and red vampire armor reminded me of the shrouded robes that I did not like to use! I like something that can protect me, thank you very much! There has already been a dragon attack and to be safe, I equipped two silver rings on my right hand's pointer and ring fingers with each one enchanted to have magic resistance of around 20% as well as Fortify Destruction and Restoration of 25% each. While I can't spam any spells as much, I can probably defend myself.
Huh? The pin on my vampire armor is different. Usually, a vampire armor's pin in the game is a rudder wheel/Eye hybrid of some sort but mine is different. It now has a wind symbol over a sword? Not my problem.
"Thank you," I told my contracted spirit. She should rest a lot more.
Saying nothing, I followed the Albino while preparing myself for whatever that will happen. Telekinesis, unlike the game version, was quite useful and I might or might not have plans to use them. Making sure my Chaotic fang was ready, I took a deep breath.
The damaged double doors of the kingdom's throne room, are those scorch marks? The doors opened to reveal the semi-filled room with numerous people. Am I getting executed?! Nope!
"Why not give them a chance?" Aria said, her soft voice echoing in my ears. "I'll be able to buy you some time for you to escape but since you saved them, it may just be a ceremony."
Eh? But I hate crowds!
"Go on," The great spirit said and I could feel a gentle breeze push me inside. Having nothing better to do, I kept myself unnoticeable as I walked ahead.
"You are a Dovah! You might be a Joor! But you have the souls of over a dozen in your soul, Qahnariin." A rather intense voice whispered inside my soul.
'Good morning, Grima,' I greeted one of the thirteen dragon souls inside my own.
"Stand Straight, do not let these fools know your weakness," Grima told me.
Following what he said, I straightened my back and walked with as much purpose as I could.
"Ren Cruz," The king of this forest and its elves said. "You have been imprisoned here after trespassing unknowingly in the Alf's Royal forest, despite this and your attempted murder at the hands of one of our own, you have risked your life and protected the kingdom."
Okay... I only helped because I had to or I might die. Besides, I don't remember much.
"For that, we could not offer you any higher thanks," The king said and I could not help but think of one thing.
'Make this end...'
"I, Larfal Ljos Alf, the king of the high elves, hereby proclaim you, The storm-voiced human, Ren Cruz, Thane of Alf's Royal forest and keeper of the Forest's mysteries."
What the fuck?! Isn't this way too fast?! This isn't Skyrim and you aren't Jarl Ballin'! The gasps and muttering around me also let me know that those positions have powers and I do not want anything to do with anything like that!
I don't want any responsibilities! I don't want to be the hero! The magic is cool but please, no!
I could only watch in muted horror as the king mean, no longer green, took out a staff. A staff that got some loud reactions from a lot of people. Why? Why?! No! No! Take that back! I don't want that!
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
"This is a staff made from the bark of the forest's sacred tree. It will be your badge of office and a symbol of your status as a thane, may it serve you well." I could only accept the staff in muted horror.
Why?! I don't want this! Why did my throat have to hurt like this to the point I can't talk that much!?
"Good, they are recognizing your worth," Grima whispered and I could feel the delight he felt, not because of my pain but because he believed that these elves acknowledged me as their superiors.
"Now presenting, The Loki Familia!" Some random elf said and I could feel my heart drop. Why?
"Oh, glad to see my Riveria's home is still standing," The red-haired deity, Loki, said with a cheerful grin. Our eyes met. Oh, no! "Yo, Tongue-Chan!" The trickster greeted me with a shit-eating grin.
"You know him?" A blonde child? Asked the deity.
"Nope, but I have an idea who he is," Loki's eyes opened, showing narrow slits that sent shivers down my spine. Before I knew it, the closest people to me were passed out with the exception of the king, who was sweating a lot. "Drem Yol Lok, Mulnu Dovakhiin. Praad Ahst Laat?"
"Vir Dreh Hei Mindok Dovahzul?" I asked in shock, forgetting the pain as the downloaded mastery of Dovahzul let itself known despite the fact that my throat ached.
"Anu and Padomay taught me, after all, I helped inspire those tongues to develop that shout."
Phew, finally done. THat was tiring! Loki knows Dovahzul? How?
What will happen next? Stay tuned and find out. Chirith out.
Omake: Ren and a dragon priestess
A beautiful green-haired elf dressed in a rather beautiful set of clothes greeted him with a smile while she laid on a bed. She was a high-elf but she lived in a single great tree and on top of it. She has nice tits. No, focus on the price...
Squish. Ah, so soft! I want more! Squish, squish.
"You can stop poking my cheeks, now, Storm-voice." Oh, she is awake!
"Ren, stop being a delinquent," The voice of Aria called out in the kitchen. "You are setting a bad example for Bell."
Taking a peek out of the bedroom, the young man saw the numerous females fawning over the said boy.
"Tell that to Bell! Most of the girls I met in those work either hates me, ignores me, or wants to kill me!" Noticing a passing by female, their eyes met. "Morning, ant me to cast that spell again?"
"No need, I have to test them." The woman around his age said and he gave her a nod. "Okay, I'll eat out at Mama Mia's, want something?"
"A suitable future wife for Bell."
"Understandable,"
"Overprotective Tsundere Aunt," teased the male.
