Is this even Skyrim? !

by Musashi The Samurai Cheem

Have you ever gone to sleep then woke up in a different body, and inside a world that you thought was once a game? No? Because that's what happened to me. I'm not even the main character! I'm just the sidekick! I guess my long painful days of being Shouted off mountains and the likes begin now... [AU Skyrim Gamer] REWRITE INCOMING!

13. Chapter 13

(?)

"The way she is using Enchantments and switches between the most optimal ones on the fly is just superb, even I have never thought of such a thing! And look at that giant knight, that's so cool!" In another Realm, a very excited voice spoke up while the owner stared at a large hole in reality.

The hole in reality was showing a massive battle between a giant knight and a dragon while a woman rode on the knight's shoulder, releasing incredibly powerful spells one after the other while also commanding the very earth to come to her aid.

"It is indeed very fascinating. Her skills are clearly that of an Adept Class, but the power of her Enchantments are almost on par with Master Class ones." Another voice piped up, this one sounding older, ancient even. "Enchantments that boost an entire school of magic, not just a specific element… none of us ever thought of such a thing. She has a good head on her shoulders, that's for sure." The other voice hummed and nodded in agreement, throwing another snack in their mouth while they watched as the epic battle between giants came to an end as the knight sliced the massive dragon in half with a well placed counter-attack.

"Oh man, that was so damn co-" The voice suddenly froze when the mage riding on the knight's shoulder removed her hood and mask, revealing her appearance to them. "There's no fucking way!" The voice shouted as they stood from their seat, their shout making the entire realm rumble and shake.

"L-lady Konahrik…?" The other ancient voice spoke up with a slight tremble to their voice, causing the other being to turn towards them with wide eyes. "But she died… I am sure of that… I buried her corpse personally…" The owner of the ancient voice took a step back, their voice filled with sorrow and anger.

"That's a Nymph, right? Didn't that fucking moron kill them all back then before he got his ass destroyed by Vahlok? And how does she even look like that monster of a woman?" The less ancient voice spoke up, narrowing their eyes and cupping their chin in thought as the image in the hole froze and zoomed in, showing the woman's face more clearly to them. "Yep, she definitely looks like a younger version of Konahrik. I'm sure Konahrik wasn't pregnant before her death, but even if she was and this girl is her daughter, how did she end up thousands of years in the future?" The ancient voice kept silent, making the other sigh and slump back down in their seat as they waved their hand to unfreeze the image.

"How did that monster of a woman even die? Didn't she like, yeet Molag Bal through… five or six dimensions when he tried to rape one of the Nymphs? Hell, she was about to ascend to Godhood!" The voice questioned their companion, who remained silent as they stared at the woman confront their old companion who had gone astray.

"… What does 'yeet' even mean?" The ancient voice finally spoke up after a while, sending a strange look to their companion, who just shrugged. "Anyway, to answer your question; She was stabbed with a highly poisonous dagger, a lethal stab too. The poison was one that targeted her Mana, making it so that the more Mana she used, the quicker she died." The other being hissed when they heard the ancient voice words before shaking their head while sighing. "To this day, I still do not know who could have managed to sneak up on her and inflict such a lethal wound. I have truly failed her…" The ancient voice sighed regretfully while sadness flashed through the eyes of the other being, but that flash of emotion disappeared just as quick as it appeared.

The two kept watching in silence as the battle finally reached it's climax, but it didn't take long for Hevnoraak to fall and for his body and soul to be destroyed by the Master Class Restoration spell.

"That was truly something. I honestly didn't expect to learn these new Enchanting trick when I decided to watch this battle, but you mortals can always find ways to impress me." The voice hummed while clapping as the warriors celebrated their victory over such a powerful force.

Only for Alduin to come in a ruin the celebrations by smashing into the ground with enough force to put meteors to shame.

"Welp, guess everyone's dead."

(?)

"So this is where you were, old friend." Paarthurnax mused as he landed heavily on the Throat of the World, his massive eyes landing on the minute figure of a mature and beautiful woman with long, flowing blonde hair and brilliant emerald eyes wearing pitch black robes. "My sister has been looking for you." The woman hummed, her eyes staring towards horizon, and even beyond that. Staring at things that only she could see.

"I was busy disciplining some dragons, then I came here to clear my head a bit." Paarthurnax snorted softly at that, shaking his head before stepping forward and sitting down beside her. He already knew how she 'disciplines' the dragons that do something bad.

"So, how many dragons do I have to bury this time?" The woman chuckled and shook her head, a teasing grin soon spreading across her face.

"Who said I left corpses?" Paarthurnax just groaned loudly, making the woman laugh at his exasperation. "Jokes aside, this time it was nothing bad. Your son just got into a scuffle with a few other dragons, and ended up creating one too many volcanoes around the place." Paarthurnax groan only grew louder at that, making the woman laugh once more.

They soon fell into a comfortable silence while they stared into the distance, watching as dragons and other creatures flew around a massive tree with purple leaves, or around the sky, their roars echoing across the skyline.

"Soon, I'll be able to fulfill my promise to you." The woman whispered, a warm smile spreading across her face as Paarthurnax's eyes widened in disbelief. "There will soon be complete peace between dragons and mortals, and I'll soon be able to raise a continent for you dragons to lay down your own history." The massive dragon kept staring at her in quiet disbelief for a few seconds before he finally chuckled and rose his head to stare at the boundless sky far above.

"Thank you, old friend. Truly, I thank you from the very bottom of my heart and soul…" Paarthurnax bowed, an action unbefitting for a dragon, but he did not care. He'd gladly throw away his pride if he could stop the endless bloodshed of the world.

The woman, Konahrik, smiled warmly and reached forward and stroked his scales lovingly before turning back towards the horizon, her smile quickly fading away as she sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose.

"I better go now before Alduin starts flipping mountains and cities to find me." Paarthurnax chuckled and leaned back, watching as the woman took a step forward and shattered space itself with a single thought before walking and disappearing into the small white crack in the air.

"Peace, huh?" Paarthurnax mused as he laid down and folded his wings. "I truly hope we are able to attain it…" He breathed out, then closed his eyes to rest.

Only to open them back up again.

"Just a memory…" He mused as he stood up, dust and snow falling off his body as his aged eyes looked towards the battle in the distance, specifically, towards the girl looking down at Hevnoraak.

He knew very well that the young Nymph named Flora did not appear from a Time Tear. How could he not? Dragons are very perceptive to Time and anything related to it, so of course he'd always know if and when a Time Tear appears anywhere on Tamriel.

And the last Time Tear that ever opened was the one Alduin created by ripping reality apart to come out of her weakened seal, and Alduin was the only one to come out of it.

So the question is, from where did she come from?

He shook his head, deciding not to ponder on such things, before he suddenly froze and turned his head to stare towards the horizon.

"Sister…" He breathed out, watching as the sky itself started growing dark from her presence alone.

He stood up, spreading his old wings and giving them a few good flaps, ready to act in case he needs to, even at the cost of his life.

(Flora)

There is no fucking way that we can win against such a being.

I can literally feel my own Domain cower and go out of my own control just because she is standing right there!

My ears were still ringing from her roar, but I quickly stood back up and looked at the chaos behind me. The walls had been decimated by her roar, and anyone on them was sent flying off. Thankfully, everyone survived because the Master Class Restoration spell is still active and it soaked up the fall damage and instantly healed it.

I gritted my teeth as I looked around. I could easily grab Aurash, Dinara, Aela and some of the others and bring them away from here, but then the rest would all be doomed, and like hell I'd do that! I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night if I did some cowardly shit like this!

I turn my gaze towards Alduin and see her gathering energy in her massive jaw, sucking in Mana as if she was a Black Hole. She was going to release a roar, and it looks like it's a roar containing all five of the fucking elements somehow.

Can I stop it? I do have almost a hundred or more Expert Class Ward Scrolls and Staffs so maybe…

I take a deep breath and call out Hercules once more, giving him the gigantification Enchantments and making the secondary ones just magical defense boosting ones. Then pull out the giant shield I had Aurash make in case for emergencies.

I throw it in the air and let Hercules grab it as it grow to an enormous size, then he slams it into the ground in front of us and holds it there as a titanic wards soon spreads out from the shield, a ward inspired by the Spellbreaker shield.

I waved my hands, and hundreds upon hundreds of staffs slam into the ground, all of them with Double Ward Enchantments. I spread them out in a massive wall-like formation starting from the giant shield, then use scrolls as way to connect them.

I have many Expert Class Ward scrolls, and I'll use several dozens of them at the same time just to be safe, mixed with the staffs and the other Adept Class scrolls.

This has to block the roar, or at least be able to stall until Alduin stops it. It has to!

"Flora!" I turn my head and give Aurash a grin before putting on my mask, mostly to hide the clearly visible fear on my face, but also to boost myself with more Enchantments after I down yet another Mana potion.

I wave my staff, summoning every last one of my Cruel Sun scrolls as I float myself up on top of Hercules shield while turning all my Enchantments into Destruction boost.

A titanic white-hot sun soon appeared above me as all the scrolls crumbled to dust. I know that this won't be enough to stop it, but the power behind it should weaken the roar just a bit so that the Wards can hold on, but if they aren't able to hold on for too long, then I'll use the Master Class Destruction Scroll I made.

I hurled the titanic Cruel Sun forward, making it release a powerful shock-wave as it flew straight towards the enormous Alduin, who had just charged up enough energy for her roar.

I didn't waste time and floated back down, summoning a Bound Staff and adding a Double Alteration boost on it, then switched the Enchantments on my armor to match it before slamming both staffs on the ground.

Alduin roared and released a titanic beam of multi-colored light that instantly broke through the sound barrier out of her jaws, which soon slammed against the giant sun. The sun exploded on impact, successfully pushing back the beam for a few seconds before it ripped through the massive cloud of dust created by the explosion, only for it to instantly smash against one giant wall of earth after another.

I gritted my teeth and switched the Enchantments to Restoration boosts, then flew back and on top of Hercules head as I crossed both of my staffs.

I was feeling both hot and cold, I felt electricity coursing through me, I felt my body getting heavier and small petrified spots started to appear over my arms, and the beam didn't even reach the last wall yet!

The last wall soon started cracking, freezing, melting and crumbling at the same time, then it finally exploded and let the massive beam of light through.

The titanic ward released by the shield grew ten times in size and gained over ten layers to it as I activated all the scrolls and staffs on the ground, powering it with my own Mana as I gritted my teeth even harder.

The beam slammed into the Warded shield hard enough to push Hercules back, but the big guy pushed back and stood his ground without a problem even as the first layer of the Wards started cracking.

It soon shattered, letting the beam slam into the next layer of the Wards, a much stronger one, but it still pushed Hercules back.

"Get everyone away from here, now!" I screamed towards the army as the ninth layer shattered too, making me grit my teeth as I downed yet another Mana potion, then pour my Mana into the massive shield that was stopping Alduin from erasing all of us from existence.

"Morons from the College, if you want to make yourself useful, now is the fucking time!" I roared towards the mages that had come with Savos Aren. Mirabelle Ervine was a Master Class Restoration mage, so she could at least cast a Master Class Ward no?!

I grunted as yet another layer exploded, pushing Hercules back once more as the army kept retreating and running back. Good thing they weren't running straight back like idiots, but are running in a direction that allows them to get out of the way of the beam.

My eyes narrowed when I saw Savos Aren bark and order towards the mages, but instead of having them come and help, the grouped up around him and another man before a dark purple magic circle appeared beneath them. A teleportation Rune.

They soon vanished with a beam of purple light, and I smiled coldly at that. Good, I'll remember that. I'll tear their College down once I'm done with this shit and kill all of them, I don't give a fuck anymore.

I threw out a few more Expert Class Ward scrolls to power up the remaining layers even more, hoping that this damned beam will stop soon.

"Flora!" I turned my head to the side as Dinara and Aurash jumped onto Hercules shoulder, then his head, without a problem. I smiled at them from under my mask, feeling much better with them at my side.

"You two should get out of here." I told them softly, but Dinara shook her head instantly, her eyes slightly red and full of worry while Aurash looked like she wanted to just grab me and run away.

"Like hell I'll leave. If you die, I'll die with you." Aurash and Dinara say the same thing at the same time, making me tilt my head at them as I fail to hold back a snort as they turn to stare at each other with very intense gazes. Oh damn, are they jealous?

"Girls, I love the both of you, but this isn't the right time for this stuff!" I tell them, then all three of us pause at my words. Only for me to shrug at it soon after. I mean, it's the truth, so I won't take it back.

"W-What?!" Dinara squeaks, her face going bright red while Aurash snorts with a massive satisfied grin on her face. Yeah, they're both very happy from the revelation.

I remove my mask for a bit just to make kissing faces towards Dinara, just to fluster her up a bit more before I put it back on and turn towards the massive Ward, which now had just three layers remaining.

I breathed out as another layer exploded, and I threw out the rest of the scrolls to make them stronger before cutting off my stream of Mana as I was running out, then downed a Mana Potion and simple sighed. I did what I could, and I doubt the Master Class Destruction scroll will do anything more than just stop her for a bit.

I closed my eyes as yet another layer shattered, leaving just one, then the shield. Once those are destroyed too, I'm dead. Everyone's dead.

I sigh and reach over to hold Aurash and Dinara's hand before I closed my eyes. I tried everything and used everything, but against absolute power, all schemes are useless.

Or are they?

Both Paarthurnax and Hevnoraak recognized me. Hell, Hevnoraak was scared beyond belief when he saw me. Whoever I look like to, she must have been someone terrifying enough to terrify even the Dragon Priests, and Paarthunax's final words after our first meeting made it seem like my resemblance to that woman could be used to stop Alduin.

"One last gamble." I breathed out, removed my mask, and quickly pecked both Dinara and Aurash on their cheeks before I flipped my gravity and threw myself into the sky, then flipped it again and launched myself towards Alduin even as Aurash and Dinara shouted after me.

The last layer shattered, leaving only the Warded shield to protect everyone, but I gritted my teeth and made gravity heavier to launch myself faster towards Alduin, quickly reaching her massive head and glowing red eyes.

"Alduin!" I screamed, smashing a powerful thunderbolt against her scales. There were no pupils in her eyes, and just standing by her made my very skin crawl in utter terror, but I had to do this. "Look at me!"

Her eye moved, then shifted to me, and then she froze.

The beam instantly stopped, sparing Hercules and the rest, making me release a sigh of relief. Only to gulp when Alduin slowly turned her head towards me.

Her eyes kept flashing between red and white, making my eyes narrow as she retreated back while trembling. She wasn't shaking in fear thought, that much I could tell. Just who is this woman that I resemble that she can bring out such a reaction even from Alduin?!

I gulped and flipped my gravity to launch myself away as Alduin spread her wings, releasing an immense sonic boom as she flapped them while releasing a terrifyingly loud roar before taking off into the sky and instantly vanishing from sight.

I'd be relieved, but the more I think about it… the more her roar sounded like a heart-wrenching cry of pain and sorrow.

(A few hours later)

"Then we shall split up here, old friend. It was an honor to fight along side you." Ulfric smiled as he shook hands with Balgruuf before they shared a big brotherly hug with hearty laughter. "If you are in need of assistance, then you just need to whistle and I'll come running." One of the Stormcloaks in the background joked about how that was similar to a dog, only for Ulfric's right hand man to slap the back of his head hard enough to throw him on the ground, making everyone laugh at him.

"The same goes to you, Lady Flora. You protected us all from that beast when I know you could have easily saved your own life and ran away, and for that, you have my deepest thanks and my respect." Ulfric stated, then slammed a fist against his chest and bowed slightly. The Stormcloaks behind him did the same while shouting gibberish at the top of their lungs, and I'm pretty sure I heard some love confessions too with a few marriage proposals here and there.

"I could have indeed saved myself and a few others, but then I wouldn't have been able to sleep well at night if I left you all to your death." I simply waved their thanks off with a gentle smile, refusing to accept such flattery and nice words, but of course Ulfric insisted and I could only sigh and accept. But maybe I can use gratitude to my advantage for something.

"I actually would like to ask for a small favor: Could you please put the war on hold for a while? At least until all this dragon bullshit has been dealt with." Ulfric blinked at my request, then stroked his beard in thought. I know he will accept, but the only problem for him will be General Tullius. "Of course, I'll send a warning to Tullius. I'll kindly tell him that if he insists on keeping the war going, then I'll throw the whole of Solitude into the sea." Ulfric and the Stormcloaks burst out into laughter at my words, and it's not mocking laughter, because they very well that I can do that after seeing me fight that giant dragon by myself. Well, I had Hercules, but still.

Besides, Solitude is placed on a massive rock that I can easily snap to make the entire place crumble. That's not a very strategic spot for the city.

"As long as we do not get attacked then I don't mind keeping up this treaty until everything is settled." Ulfric confirmed, and I nodded my head in thanks. As long as Tullius doesn't do stupid shit, then I can focus fully on the dragons and spare more manpower for battles that will actually matter.

The Stormcloaks soon broke of and walked towards the remnants of Falkreath, planning on searching and burying the rest of the bodies before using the Waystone there to return to Windhelm.

Meanwhile, the rest of us decided to just walk back since we had horses waiting not that far down the road. Well, everyone else but me. I'm planning on splitting off from them for a while as I need to do a few urgent things.

"I'll be going on ahead for a bit and split off." I told Aurash and Dinara after I pulled them aside while the army retreated. "I need to do a couple of things that have become incredibly urgent now, and even though I really want to have you two with me, I can move much faster by myself." Aurash nodded in understanding and pulled me into a very tight hug that I happily returned, then I broke off and went to give the very shy Dinara her own tight hug.

"It shouldn't take too long, two or three days at most."I told them as I jumped onto Fenrir's back. "And please, look over Danica while I'm away." I blew a kiss towards them before I had Fenrir rush forward, waving at Balgruuf and the others as I passed by and rushed towards my first destination. I had everything I needed that could help me, and Dinara gave me back the invisibility Daedric Dagger, which will definitely come in handy in a lot of different scenarios.

I also really hope that Farengar goes ahead and absolutely destroys the College's reputation after the stunt those fucker's pulled. Which means I must take a trip to Saarthal and take the Eye of Magnus before any of those morons discover it, but I won't do that for a while as I doubt I can take on a Draugr that has been bathing in Mana for thousands of years unless I use a Master Class spell.

My first destination is the closest, and it's the spot where the Eldergleam used to be before it fell underground.

It doesn't take long to reach the rocky hill thanks to Fenrir's speed, and I quickly get down before Enchanting my armor and staff with Alteration boosts.

I put Fenrir back into the Pet Space after giving her a lot of scratches and kisses, then started softening the ground before pushing it aside constantly to descend down, almost like a very quick elevator.

I create a flame in my hand to make some light as I descend further and further down, still not feeling anything within my Domain, so I just keep on going. There must have been a lot of earthquakes for the Eldergleam to end up buried so deep. Good thing that I recovered all of my Mana while we recovered from Alduin's attack.

It wasn't until a full minute later that I finally felt a blank spot in my Domain that kept on growing bigger the more I descended. It was a very large cave from what I could feel, and only when a burst through the ceiling did I realize that it wasn't large, but utterly massive.

The air was brimming with vitality, and just breathing it in made me feel incredibly relaxed. It was addictive.

The place was filled with trees and fruits of all kinds, bushes, plants, herbs, a small lake and so much more, There were all kinds of animals with Spriggans tending to them or just tending to the trees and herbs. I also noticed that there were dozens of different tunnels that should lead to the surface, and that's how the animals managed to wander down here.

And then at the end of the massive cave was a giant tree with brilliant purple leaves, only for the tree to rumble the moment my eyes landed and release a massive golden wave that pushed me back.

I float back and avoid the golden wave, landing at the other end of the cave which had barely any grass or anything else, just some dirt and rocks.

I rose my head up to stare at the golden barrier that had now formed in front of me. I tapped it and it rippled, refusing to let me through and making me frown. This should be the start of the Divine Trial then, but how do I even begin the trial?

"You found this place sooner than I expected." I jumped slightly at the sudden voice, my hands tensing for a fight as I turned to my left, only to freeze when I saw a woman made out of golden energy stand there.

She had long flowing hair, a curvaceous tall body and was wearing a long dress, everything made out of swirling golden energy.

"My friend is aging far too fast for my liking, and I decided to not waste time and go grab any useful artifact that might be of help." I told Kynareth, because this is definitely her, as I turned my head to stare towards the Eldergleam. I couldn't help but notice that the area changed too, and that now there was a long straight path leading towards the ancient tree.

"Don't let me hold you back then. The Trial is simple…" The golden barrier rippled, then slowly became more transparent. "All you have to do is walk down the path and reach the Eldergleam." I rose an eyebrow at that and turned my head to stare at Kynareth in confusion. This is just too good to be true, far too easy too.

"Of course, all you have to do is just walk. If you stop, you fail. If you do anything other than walk, you fail. If you stray from the path, you fail." My eyes narrowed even more at her words. 'If you do anything other than walk' means that I can't even think, or am I overthinking too much? But I doubt it, this is a Divine Trial we are talking about, of course even thinking can be a way to fail. "I'll wait for you on the other side. Take all the time you need to get ready." I watched as she faded back into the barrier before turning towards the path and humming to myself.

I know this won't be simple or easy. There has to be something that will happen the moment I step through the barrier and that can make me instantly fail the trial, but what?

If I do anything other than just walk, like wince for example, can get me kicked out of the trial. I'll have to expect anything and rely fully on Gamer's Mind to not react at all to anything since it can keep me calm and focused. It's just a few dozen meters to the tree, I can do it.

I stared down at my armor, then stared at the path ahead. If I fail, I fail. I'll find another way to restore Danica's youth, maybe even see if she wants to turn into a vampire so that she can live longer and give me more time to search, after all I can erase any and all urges she may have.

I store all of my armor inside my inventory, leaving myself fully naked and defenseless, then take a step towards the barrier and slowly slip through, then place my foot on the ground.

And the first thing I feel is pain. Constant, never ending pain. But I quickly take a step forward, and then another and another. I don't run, nor do I walk fast, I simply walk at a normal pace.

Each step brings horrifying pain through my feet, but Gamer's Mind keeps me calm and focused and I don't even take my eyes off the tree, my breathing remains steady and calm.

And then animals burst from the bushes and from behind trees. Bears, Sabretooth cats, wolves and insects of all kinds.

The first to reach me was a bear, and it swiped a claw at me even as I kept walking. The claw phased through me, but I felt a horrifying stabbing pain through the spot it passed through.

It was soon followed by being bit, stung and clawed by the rest of the animals, all of them snarling at me and growing more and more violent the more I walked forward.

It hurt a lot, but I had to thank Gamer's Mind for keeping me completely focused. Of course, the pain slowed me down a great deal. My body felt like it was on fire, and my legs felt like they were as heavy as Ebony, each step just making them heavier and heavier.

I breathed out, took a deep breath, then smiled. I faced Alduin and stopped her fucking overpowered roar just a couple of hours ago, this thing is a cakewalk.

My steps quickened even as my body started growing numb from the pain and my ears started ringing from the constant loud roars, howls and buzzing.

And then I finally reached the ending of the path, and approached the massive tree as the animals retreated back into the underground forest. Thankfully, all of the pain stopped, so I could finally stop relying on Gamer's Mind.

I sighed and slumped against the large tree, taking large and deep breaths to calm my raging heart as my body slowly recovered from the horrifying pain. How long did that even take? I think it was only just a few minutes, but it felt like hours. I hope not all Divine Trials are as horrifyingly hard as this.

Hell, I doubt anyone can pass this damn Trial without a sort of Mind Power like Gamer's Mind. Illusion Magic can kind of do that, but it lacks the 'ignore pain' effect unless one Mind Controls themselves to go towards the tree without stopping, making them easily ignore the pain. But of course, all Mind related Illusions spells are around Master Class.

Hevnoraak was able to control so many people and undead because he probably had a lot of Ancient Spells in his arsenal, which are way better than any kind of spell we may have in this Era. I'll have to find a way to get my hands on them if they still exist somewhere.

"Congratulations my child." I perk up as a golden pulse is released from the Eldergleam behind me, making me stand up as Kynareth used the golden energy to manifest herself once more, a warm smile on her glowing face. "You have easily passed my Divine Trial, albeit not without pain. I am so proud of you." I feel warmth bubble up in my chest at her words, a giddy smile spreading across my face, but I quickly recollect myself. Of course I'd be giddy from being praised by the mother of all Nymphs.

"What happens now?" I looked at the underground forest and at the animals living there, and I couldn't help but notice how all the spriggans were kneeling towards me. "I don't want to take the Eldergleam away from them. This is their home." Kynareth's warm smile grew bigger at my words, and she reached forward to gently and tenderly caress my cheek.

"Would you truly leave without nothing even after passing such a hard trial?" She asked, and I shrugged before I tore my gaze away from her and looked towards the animals hidden in the forest. This was their paradise, where they can live without worry and fear of being hunted down or look for food.

"I can easily just take a branch and grow my own Eldergleam." I stated with a cheeky smile, making Kynareth laugh as she pulled her hand away and walked towards the tree. I watched as she placed a hand against it, causing the tree to light up with golden energy that soon started focusing in the palm of her head, then take shape into a miniature golden tree.

"The reward for the trial is not the Eldergleam itself, but a copy." Kynareth stated, flicking her hand towards me and causing the miniature golden tree in her hands to turn into a ray of light that shot past me, making me turn around to see where it went, only for me to notice that it had curved around once more and landed on my back, causing a strange warmth to spread all over it.

But just as I was about to turn around again, I was interrupted by a golden floating box appearing in front of my face.

[Divine Mark of Kynareth obtained!]

What the hell? The Status screen changed, it looks even better and shows even the blessing I gained from the Mage Stone. What is going on?

Is… is the Gamer System growing stronger with me? Is that a thing? Is it perhaps using me to gain strength, or what?

I shake my head, then focus on the warmth on my back, causing golden light to erupt from my body and turn into a massive tree floating in the air, looking exactly like the Eldergleam behind me. And it was a real tree too, not one made out of Mana.

"Not that I'm mad, but why do I get a copy?" I asked as I turned towards the slowly fading form of Kynareth, who smiled kindly at me. I'm satisfied with the one I got since I know I can make it produce the sap that I need to cure Danica and remove Dinara's scars, but am just curious.

"Because this is not the Eldergleam, this is just one of it's many branches." I blinked at her words, then slowly stared at the branch she mentioned and gulped. Now that I paid attention to it, there were no roots connecting it to the ground and I could feel that it was very deep underground. "The Eldergleam is the source of life for all of Tamriel. It's main body is very far underground and at the very core of the world. The Eldergleam was my creation when we created Nirn, and later on I created the Nymphs." I nodded my head at her words, remembering reading about how the Eldergleam was said to be the source of all life on Tamriel. Without it the planet would be a literal desert and void of all life.

"Makes me wonder what the other Divines created…" I mused aloud before shaking my head and pulling the floating tree behind me back into me, feeling it return onto my back. I summoned a Spirit Raved and had it send me an image of what was there. What I received was the image of a dark golden tattoo that covered all of my back, from slightly below my neck to slightly above my butt. In fact, some of the roots spread around my hips and were visible on my belly. I guess this is why it's called a Divine Mark. "Can I get a small hint on where the other Divine Trials are?" I asked, trying to act all cute towards Kynareth and appeal to her for information. The Eldergleam is an incredible reward that will definitely come in handy since I can control it without any Mana cost, of course it depends also on how tough it is, but I'll test things out later.

"Well, Magnus Divine Trial is also in Skyrim, so maybe you'll be able to find it with some luck." I blinked as Kynareth finally faded after leaving those words behind, making me light up with excitement.

Are you fucking kidding me? Magnus Divine Trial is in Skyrim?! Is it where the Eye of Magnus is then?! Oh Gods, I can't wait to go and check it out!

I turn around and get ready to leave, putting my armor back on and pulling out my Fake Ebony staff. But before leaving, I take a stroll around the place, both to relax and pet all the animals around, and also to harvest the many herbs around the place since there should definitely be many precious and rare ones.

I wonder if Ariana can use some of the Eldergleam's sap to make Health Potions stronger, or maybe make ones that regrow limbs? Or maybe even make a potion that is a mix of a Health and Mana potion. So many combinations and possibilities to try out.

Luckily, it didn't take long for me to look for rare herbs since I requested the Spriggans for help. It's sad that I can't understand them since I'd love to know how to create more of them. Does it rely on how much Mana a tree has, or on the amount of vitality? I lean more towards Mana because Spriggans are fully magical being that die only when they run out of Mana, and they retreat back to their trees to recharge their reserves.

"And every single Spriggan around lives inside the largest of trees…" I mused to myself, tapping my staff on the ground as I hummed, then turned to a random tree and willed it to grow more and more, stopping only when it reached the same size as the other large trees.

I've become more susceptible to Mana recently, probably since I've gone past level 50, and I instantly noticed how the Mana inside the tree started gathering and condensing once I stopped growing it, thus answering all of my questions.

Spriggans take time to form, and they are only born from the oldest and more Mana rich trees and are tied to them. I doubt I can speed up their birth, so my plans of having an army of Matron Spriggans are dashed.

"Well then, I shall take my leave now little ones!" I waved goodbye to the Spriggans and animals before inverting the gravity around me and taking flight, then going through the hole I created when I first came in. Of course I made sure to seal it as I don't want others to find this place.

I looked around, then threw myself into the sky and then used gravity to hurl myself towards Morthal. It was a fun way of flying to be honest, just inverting gravity and making it heavier to throw myself across the sky.

My first destination was Morthal, quickly and stealthily register myself into the Waystone, do the same at Solitude, then take off for Wolfskull Cave. It won't be hard to find the cave as long as I go to Dragon Bridge and take the path that leads to the mountain, otherwise I can simply ask for directions. I'd rather take care of Potema's problem instantly, and I have a feeling those damn Necromancers are already preparing for the ritual.

It didn't take long for me to reach the mountains and fly across them, but as I did, I couldn't help but marvel at the ancient and enormous old city in the distance. The ancient city of Bromjunaar, capital of dragon-kind.

The game truly didn't do it any justice. Enormous walls and buildings, temples built inside the mountains along with massive holes in them clearly reserved for the dragons. And then there were two massive doors built inside the biggest mountain, and I am sure that deep beyond those doors is Morokei and the Staff of Magnus.

I shook my head and turned away from the majestic ancient city and pulled out the Daedric Dagger as I descended and went invisible. Whoever decided to establish Morthal barely a few hundred meters away from Labyrinthian was truly a moron.

I flew into the city and quickly found the Guild, mostly because it's one of the biggest buildings in the city, then used my Domain to find my way to the Waystone. I quickly dropped a drop of my blood on the Waystone to register myself, watched as it glowed for a few seconds, then quickly left and flew back into the sky.

This time I decided to recover the Mana I used so I flew a bit further away then called out Fenrir and had her carry me towards Solitute. I could barely see it beyond the horizon, but I'm sure Fenrir can reach it in less than an hour, maybe in just twenty minutes.

I could have taken a trip into Dymhollow Crypt and freed Serana, but I'll do that on my way back, and after grabbing something that will help me fend her off in case she turns hostile when I'll refuse to take her back to the castle.

Fenrir quickly broke the sound barrier and shot through the rivers and the mud covering the whole area leading towards Solitude, barely even being slowed by it.

Now then, I have a few scrolls to prepare while she takes me to Solitude. Once I stop Potema's ritual, she'll flee through a hole in the ceiling and return to Solitude if I remember right, where then she'll start some more shit that I do not want to take care of.

So what I'll have to do is simple, I'll seal her inside a Soul Gem, but to do that I'll need the Soul Trap spell, which is an Expert Class spell. Soul Gems can capture all souls near them by themselves but they can't do that for the most powerful Souls, that's something that took me a bit to learn.

Stronger Souls don't matter for Enchanting, it doesn't change anything, but if I capture the Soul of a powerful monster then I can turn it into a Conjuration Spell, and that's what I want to do with Potema.

I should have done the same with the Tower Bosses inside Mephala's Dungeon, but those are far too stupid to even be useful minions, so of course I'd want to capture someone as powerful and as feared as Potema and bind her.

Of course, I'd need a few more scrolls for the Bind spells too, mostly because I want to be sure to capture her instantly. Good thing I also have a very large Soul Gem too, one even bigger than my head.

Soul Gems can hold all souls here, unlike in the game, but they need to absorb a certain amount of Souls before they are filled instead of a single one. The bigger the Soul Gem, the more souls it needs to be filled.

I can't help but wonder how those that created the Enchanting branch of magic knew that Soul Gems would be needed to place Enchantments on items for those that are starting out. I can make my Enchantments stick onto any equipment without the need for Soul Gems now, but I still fill them because Aurash will need them to recharge her weapons. And because I want to have my own minions in the future, possibly even a Dragon Priest.

The reason I decided to turn Potema into my minion is because she is known as a terrifying Necromancer and Mage, and I've asked Dinara about her since she is the one that knows the most about the Septims.

Turns out that Potema was a natural born prodigy, but also a sociopath that enjoyed sowing chaos, especially by bringing back the dead and having their loved ones fight them for her amusement.

She had become a Master Class Conjuration mage by the age of twenty-three and was also an Adept Class Illusion Mage, Adept Class Alteration Mage and an Expert Class Destruction Mage with a Fire affinity. Dinara also said that she could have become the Archmage of the College if she hadn't turned out to be such a vile and disgusting woman.

The only reason Potema even lost the war is because she lost her temper in the middle of the battle and Conjured a Titan, but while the Titan was terrifying, she barely had much Mana left and the Titan ended up fading away after barely a minute, thus leading to her execution.

I was also absolutely sure that I could bind her to me, mostly because it was clearly know that she was a prodigy in Necromancy and not in binding or Conjuration spells. In fact, the Titan may have actually been her very first Conjuration.

But I better not let my guard down and be prepared for anything, so I'll make extra scrolls just in case. Good thing my Mana reserves are even bigger now.

(One Hour Later)

I have to say that Solitude is a lot bigger than I thought. Hell, it was massive, especially the protruding rock where the Jarl's palace stood.

Now that I looked at it, that giant rock kinda looked like a dragon's jaw. I truly hope there isn't a dragon skeleton beneath all that rock, otherwise it'll be a horrifying disaster if Alduin revives it.

Well, it'll be a disaster if she actually visits any hold. One roar and everything is just dust.

I shake my head and quickly float my way up into the city, then quickly realize that finding the Guild will be very hard since every single building in Solitude was very large. It's a very rich looking city, especially the Jarl's palace, that's especially extravagant.

I decide to go and look for the Daedric Gate instead since that will be the fastest way to actually find the Guild. It won't be hard since the Gates are incredibly tall and eye-catching.

And of course Solitude's Daedric Gate is the most eye-catching. Why? Because it's sealed. Large plates of steel and iron were all wrapped around it, either hammered or melted together, leaving not even an inch of the gate visible.

What the fuck did Sheoggorath do to make them seal his Daedric Gate? Like damn, the gate is inside the soldiers training field. The Guild was nowhere to be seen, but the Waystone was right beside the Daedric Gate so that's all that matters.

Perhaps the rumors that no one even came out of Sheoggorath's dungeon are true, else they wouldn't have sealed it since I've never heard about dungeon monsters pouring out of the gate.

Oh well, I don't really care. It's not like I planned on going inside his Daedric Dungeon anyway, too much of a risk to meddle with anything related to that psychopath.

I quickly registered my name on the Waystone, then shot myself into the sky and towards the snowy mountain range. I remember the general location of Wolfskull cave, but mostly because it was right behind the Statue of Meridia, so hopefully it's still the same here too.

I quickly rise into the mountains and then rise further up to look around and see if I can find the Statue of Meridia, but hopefully finding it shouldn't be too hard.

And luckily it wasn't. Barely a few minutes later I catch sight of a massive statue, but I don't know exactly if it's Meridia's statue since the stone was eroded so much that the statue looks featureless, just with a female body.

If it's hers, then there should be a World Wall right behind her… yup, there it is. So then if I follow the path to the main road, I should find the cave nearby.

I remember how Potema's spirit escaped through a hole in the cave's ceiling, so I float float myself up looking for it while I have Fenrir sniff around by the main road to see if she can find the entrance herself.

And of course it doesn't even take a minute for Fenrir to sniff out the entrance of the cave, and I quickly fly down to where she was to find her standing over three mutilated corpses in dark robes and lots of skeletal remains. Guess she already took care of the necromancers standing guard in front of the cave.

I had Fenrir shrink down and enter the cave with me while I take hold of the Daedric Dagger, but I don't go invisible just yet.

I scrunched up my nose as I walked deeper. This place smelled horrible, good thing I'm already used to the stench of burning bodies and other horrible stuff.

My eyes widened when I entered a small clearing in the cave, half of it being filled with decaying corpses of Imperial soldiers and townsfolk. These guys must've been here for a long time already since their skin is now a disgusting grayish color.

I covered my nose and washed the bodies with Sunfire, turning them to ashes and letting them pass on before I walk into the next tunnel with a grim look. I really hope I'm not too late and that they haven't Bound Potema just yet.

I started feeling the Mana grow heavier as I walked deeper into the cave and I could feel through my Domain that I was close to the large buried fort where the ritual is actually happening right now. Good thing I decided to come here then!

I quickly reached the old decayed fort and stared at the top where a large swirling blue mass of concentrated Mana was gathering with several people in black robes standing beneath it and chanting, then quickly floated me and Fenrir to a secluded spot and hid there.

I never heard of Spells that require chanting, but perhaps chanting is for Rituals only? I should look that up once I'm done dealing with my chores and go back to Whiterun.

I wait for them to fully summon Potema's spirit, then I'll dispose of them and quickly seal her before she can escape. And if I can't seal her, I'll just Purge her.

I pull out Hevnoraak's mask to study while I wait, but no matter how much I try, I cannot comprehend the Runes swirling around the Mask's surface. Just looking at them made my eyes hurt, and as I kept looking I started feeling a growing headache.

Just what kind of skill level did it take to create such horrifyingly powerful Enchantment? I remember seeing it in action for just a bit, but Hevnoraak was able to turn everything into a powerful acidic poison. I presume that a single drop of it can kill anyone in seconds and ruin even steel. I wonder if I can even use it with the amount of Mana I have.

"Yes! Yes! Return me to this Realm!" I perked up when I heard a woman's echo through the cave, making me look up to the now much bigger sphere of concentrated Mana, a woman's figure now clearly visible inside of it. I've been focused on the mask for a bit too long, I almost missed my chance to act.

Golden energy erupted from my body as I summoned the Eldergleam's body, then the cave cave rumbled as it's roots shot around at incredible speeds, piercing and cleaving through stone with ease and impaling all the necromancers and draugrs around in a couple of seconds.

I whistled at how easy it was to control the Eldergleam, and a massive grin spread across my face as I watched it cleave through everything with ease. Yeah, this tree is definitely much harder than normal trees, maybe even harder than steel.

If I can use it to tie dragons down then it will be even better!

I placed Fenrir back into my Pet Space as I floated myself up to join the ten very shocked necromancers with a smile on my face as I pulled out the scrolls I need to bind and seal Potema.

"Sorry folks, but I'll be taking her!" I smiled kindly, then controlled a massive root to swipe by and cleave them all in half before they could recover. Besides, they were still busy with the Ritual and they couldn't just leave in the middle of it for combat, that much I know.

"Hello there Miss Potema!" I greeted the silent woman flying above as I controlled the Soul Seal scrolls and placed them around the swirling sphere of Mana that contained her soul. All that concentrated Mana is pretty much all the Mana she had when she was alive, damn. "This may seem a bit sudden, but I'll be turning you into my minion! Not that a disgusting woman like you deserves any better!" I pulled out the large Soul Gem and tossed it into the swirling sphere of Mana, making Potema shriek in utter rage and also fear.

"You whore! You will never bind me! Neve- aaaaaah!" I snorted as I activated one of the scrolls, causing light purple light to lock the sphere of Mana and make it shrink into the Soul Gem. "Don't you fucking dare! You foolish bitch! Who do you think I am?! I won't be your dog, I won't acc- noooo! Stop!" And another scroll activated, making the sphere shrink to half it's original size and flow into the glowing Soul Gem.

"Man, what a vulgar woman…" I chuckled and shook my head, activating yet another scroll and causing Potema to scream again, but this time her screams sounded weaker and more distant than before. Good thing I prepared quite a few scrolls to deal with her, she just has so much Mana!

"Stop! Stop! I'll give you whatever you want if you free me! I'll let you have entire cities! Continents even! So free- No! Stoooo-" Her screams and peals faded away as I activated the other scrolls, stuffing all of her Mana and Soul into the Soul Gem successfully, making me grin like a lunatic.

It was incredibly easy to seal her inside the Soul Gem because she can't really act and control her Mana in that state, but if I don't hurry and bind her then she could shatter the Soul Gem from the inside and flee, ruining my plans and efforts.

I placed the glowing and shaking Soul Gem into both of my hands, then coated it in my Mana to lock it down while preparing a portal to Oblivion. If I bind her perfectly, she'll be sent to the void of Oblivion where all the minor Daedra are born before they move between the available Realms of the Daedric Princes.

I pull out the Binding scrolls and instantly activate one as the miniature portal to Oblivion envelops the shaking Soul Gem. As the Bound Scroll activates, the Soul Gem becomes slightly more transparent, making me grin and quickly activate another as I feel Potema's efforts to break out growing more chaotic and desperate.

I watch as the Soul Gem is almost fully gone after the I used yet another scroll, so I quickly use the last one and watch as it fully fades away into the miniature portal to Oblivion before I close it, and I instantly feel a certain connection settling down.

Now I just need to check if the binding has been done successfully and check if Potema will actively follow my orders, else I'll just Purge the bitch out of existence.

I called out Fenrir and the Eldergleam just in case things go bad before I summon Potema, and I held my breath as the portal to Oblivion swirled into existence, and out of it walked a very much human looking stunning woman.

"Why the hell are you naked?" I tilted my head as I stared at the stunning black haired and blue eyes woman. The records aren't wrong, Potema is truly a stunning woman! "Never mind that. Raise your hands up above your head, start clapping and jumping on the spot while spinning until I tell you to stop." I order her, and I feel the order settle down through our connection as Potema instantly raises her arms above her head, starts clapping and jumping while spinning on the spot.

I let her keep doing that for a full minute, still on guard, and ignoring how her very large chest bounces up and down with each of her jumps. She may be a sexy milf, but I still see her as the evil bitch I know about.

"Okay that's enough." Potema finally stops, not even out of breath and with a still blank look in her eyes. I know that she won't betray me thanks to our connection, but I'll still give her the order just in case. "From now on, you'll listen to any of my orders and will never try to betray me or even think about it. No fighting or killing unless I order you to either." Potema nodded at my words as I felt my orders settle through the connection, making me finally smile and relax, then pull the Eldergleam back into me.

Gods was that stressful! But it was incredibly worth it since I now have the Wolf Queen herself as a damn minion! She'll be incredibly useful in combat, and knowledge wise too. I also can't wait to see Dinara's reaction when I introduce her to Potema!

"Good, now let's leave this place and go down to the coast to rest for the night." I sigh and give my body a stretch, then pull Fenrir back into my Pet Space and float myself and Potema out of the hole in the ceiling. Of course I make sure to give her some damn clothes first.

I won't have her summoned for too long because she takes quite a bit of Mana to keep her here, but I want to reach the Adept Rank in Conjuration too before I leave for the Forgotten Vale so I can place a Teleportation Rune where I camp and use it to quickly reach Solitude then use the Waystone there to go to Morthal so that I can reach Dimhollow Crypt much faster.

Now all I have to do is kill a vampire Snow Elf and get Auriel's Bow, and maybe the Shield too.

(The Next Day)

The Forgotten Vale is an absolutely stunning frozen plot of land. I probably spent the past hour just running around with Fenrir to admire it.

So many ancient buildings built by the Snow Elves are scattered around, and there were so many animals and even herbs that I have never seen. I also ran into so many Ice Spirits, which are very mean and violent for some reason.

I've ran into quite a lot of Frost Trolls and Mammoths, killed the former and kept their bodies for materials while having Fenrir eat a Mammoth before I placed the rest of the bodies inside my Inventory. Finally, she can eat something better than some fucking spider corpses.

"Still, finding the castle will now be much harder…" I sighed as I looked around. No matter how deep I went, there were far too many ancient buildings and forts, and I can't seem to find the ancient castle where the vampire is at no matter how hard I look. This is kinda troublesome.

In the game you had those teleportation thingies that moved you around the Forgotten Vale in order to reach the castle because of a tradition or whatever, but I can't really do that right now since I don't remember where the cave to do that is. Albeit I do doubt that I can't find the castle without it, I just need to spend more time looking around.

I do remember that there are two dragons somewhere here with a Word Wall for the Drain Vitality Shout which I think Aurash doesn't have. I'll probably just rip it out of the ground and put it in my inventory if I can.

"Fenrir you can stop here, let's take a quick break." I sighed and shook my head as I had Fenrir stop before jumping down from her back as she sniffed the ground, causing the snow to melt with her breath alone.

I was just about to toss out the remaining carcass of the Mammoth she was eating earlier before her head snapped up, then she growled towards my left. I turned to see what she was growling at, but all I could see was the smooth side of a massive ice cap.

"Fenrir, what's wrong?" Fenrir kept growling towards it and she looked ready to pounce, but she also looked scared. "Sweety, it's just ice!" I tried to reassure her, so I threw a Fireball at the ice to shatter and ease her worries, but to my great shock the ice did not shatter or even melt

And then everything started shaking.

I gulped and drew back as what I thought was a massive and smooth ice cap started rising, then it opened, revealing a massive slitted eye that could swallow me and Fenrir whole. What the fuck is this thing?

"Konahrik?" A beautiful but powerful female voice rang out from the eye, making me realize that the owner of the eye is a massive fucking dragon comparable to Alduin herself! How many dragons the size of Alduin are there!? That bitch is already almost three times bigger than Paarthurnax!

Wait, did she say Konahrik? Isn't that the name of the unique Dragon Priest mask that one can obtain only after obtaining all the others? So Konahrik was a Nymph, and I look like her?

"Ehm… My name is Flora, I am not Konahrik." I introduced myself, ready to grab Fenrir and just teleport back and far away from this titanic dragon the moment she turns hostile.

"Oh dear, I should have known since she died…" The dragon seemingly sighed, lifting her head up even more and allowing me to stare at her much better. She wasn't exactly as big as Alduin, but she was pretty close in size. "I thought every Nymph had died back then, but I am glad that one is still alive to this day…" I couldn't help but smile at her words, feeling like she wasn't a bad dragon like the ones I've had to kill so far.

"I am probably the Last Nymph alive…" I revealed somberly, making the dragon's eye widen, before she closed it and released another sigh. "What's your name? And what are you doing here?" I asked her as I lifted a portion of the ground with Alteration magic and sat on it, not at all caring about having to find the castle now.

"My name is Folizbrii, it is a pleasure to meet you Flora." Folizbrii, Frost-Ice-Beauty, quite a fitting name I'd say. Wait, when did I have such knowledge of the dragon language? "As for what I am doing here; Well, this place fits an Ice Dragon like myself quite well, and I'd rather not join Lady Alduin's madness once more. What about you?" So she sided with Alduin back then? Well, that's not surprising, she is the leader of the dragon race and I doubt anyone would have had the guts to go against her.

"I'm looking for an ancient castle that contains an Aedric Artifact that I need to fight an incoming vampire threat, do you perhaps know where I could find it?" I asked her, leaning forward with slight hope and making the massive dragon chuckle slightly. If she knows where the castle is then I could save up a lot of time!

"A castle you say? There are many of them around these parts, but I believe the one you are looking for is just East of here, built into the side of a mountain and covered by a small and weak Illusion. You can't miss it since it looks like half of the mountain is missing." My face lit up at her words, almost making me hug her. This was truly going to save up a lot of time because I didn't even think that the castle would be hidden with Illusion Magic! Else I would have wasted a lot of time going around like an idiot!

"Thank you so much! You just saved me from going around like an idiot!" Folizbrii chuckled at my words as I sighed with a smile on my face, happy that I'll be able to finish up everything today if all goes well.

"I'm glad I could help you, little one. But do you mind doing me a little favor?" I perked up as I stood up and patted the snow off my butt and head while pulling Fenrir back into my Pet Space. "There should be a dragon staying on the Throat of the World, he is my father. Could you… please tell him that I forgive him for what happened back then?" She is Paarthurnax daughter!? Holy shit! Wait, how do dragons even have children here? The lore never explained it and I thought they couldn't. As for what she is speaking about, I presume she forgives the atrocities that Paarthurnax did for Alduin during the Dragon War.

"If you mean Paarthurnax, then of course I will do that. I was planning on paying him a visit soon enough too. I didn't know he had a daughter." Folizbrii chuckled at my words as she went back to lay her head down while I lifted myself up, ready to fly off. Our conversation was short, but I'll definitely come visit her again when I can, maybe even bring Paarthurnax along!

"He has a son too, but my idiot brother has a very explosive temper and lives on another continent now. Bless Akatosh for that…" I laughed at the exasperated sigh that Folizbrii released. Apparently her brother is a handful, and I know that feeling very well from my past life. I shook those thoughts away before lifting myself further up in the air.

"I'll definitely come visit you again in the future!" I called out before throwing myself towards the East at fastest speed I could since I have a limit to how heavy I can make gravity. It's so nice knowing that there are nice dragons other than Paarthurnax! It makes me very happy!

I shoot past mountains and ghost cities, killing any Mammoth and Frost Troll I run into and collecting their bodies, I even collected the bodies of a couple Frost Giants, which are way bigger and look very mean and strong.

I make sure to check out any very tall mountain I fly across from up close before moving on so that I don't miss anything hidden by Illusions by using my Domain.

It wasn't until half an hour later that I found the castle hidden by a very pathetic Illusion. It looked like a massive square of the mountain was missing, which shouldn't be possible since the top part should have crumbled long ago.

I landed and recovered my Mana with Mana Potions, then turned invisible with the Daedric Dagger before entering the Illusion and finally gazing upon Auriel's Chapel.

Or at least, the outside of it since the inside was sealed off by ice. Guess I'll have to go in with a boom.

[Name: Flora]

[Race: Nymph]

[Title: "Child of The Earth"]

[Job: Druid; Lv 53/100]

[Divine Mark/s: Kynareth]

[Blessing/s: Stone of the Mage]

[Mage Skill Tree:

Destruction (55)

Restoration (42)

Enchanting (59)

Alteration (59)

Conjuration (50)]

[Warrior Skill Tree:

One-Handed Mastery (25)

Two-Handed Mastery (12)

Bow Mastery (16)]

Hopefully this is more than enough to deal with the vampire. Thankfully I have both power and versatility on my side, while he should be a powerful Ice Mage, probably even Master Class, but I am not afraid of that since casting a Master Class Spell takes a long time.

I activated Ironflesh as I threw myself down with gravity, easily shattering through the cover of ice and landing in the middle of the Chapel with style, cracking the ground with my landing.

"Greetings!" I called out towards the Snow Elf sitting on the throne while he gazed at me in confusion, clearly not expecting someone other than Serana and the Dragonborn to arrive so early. "I am Flora, and I am here for Auriel's Bow! Which means…" I tapped my staff as the massive form of Fenrir appeared in the hall, her snarling and glowing jaws barely a few meters away from the Snow Elf. "That you must die." I ended my introduction as Fenrir howled, causing the very chapel itself to start melting as a bright purple-white glow filled the chamber.

"Fuck!" The Snow Elf, Vyrthur if I remember right, cursed as he hastily raised his arms to create a massive Ward just as Fenrir released her breath attack and atomized the entire Chapel with it.

I called her back into my Pet Space as I flew up and out of the cloud of dust and ice that she created with her powerful Fireball, luckily having spared the outside of the Chapel where Auriel's Bow was going to appear.

I stepped to the side as a massive spear of ice whistled past me and across the skyline, soon followed by dozens of them.

"I'm not interested in a drawn out battle." I hummed, lifting my hand up as Lightning crackled around it, then it was followed by a roaring thunderclap and a titanic Lightning Bolt that made the world flash black and white for a second before it smashed right into the cloud of dust and created another enormous explosion that destroyed the place even more. Courtesy of an overcharged Lightning Strike.

A figure flew out of the cloud of dust and towards the distance, making me sneer at how the bastard was trying to get away. He probably knew that if the chapel was destroyed then he'd loose his chance at getting Auriel's Bow.

I rose my hand up as a staff made out of the wood from the Eldergleam appeared in my hand, then I threw it out like a javelin and watched as it caught on fire and followed after Vyrthur while gaining on him.

I flew after him and threw out many more explosive staffs that tracked him, each one getting closer and closer to him as he flew away. He couldn't afford fighting me under the sun since it weakened him a great deal, but he couldn't loose me either with how slow he was with that flying spell of his.

Not wanting to drag this on, I struck him with another Lightining Strike, smashing him into a mountain made out of ice, which was soon followed by the many explosive staffs that I threw finally hitting their target.

My eyes narrowed when a bright sky blue glow came from within the cloud of dust created by the explosion, then widened when the bright glow turned into a bright four pointed star. I hastily summoned a massive ward as large beam of pure frost shot out of the cloud of dust and slammed against my Ward.

It stopped just a few seconds later, making me lower my hand with narrowed eyes as the cloud of dust finally cleared. My eyes met blood red ones as Vyrthur scowled up at me while dusting off his shoulder, making me sneer.

"You should look where you stand." I reminded him kindly as a massive bright orange runic circle appeared right beneath his feet, making his eyes go wide just as it exploded in a powerful blast of flames.

Vyrthur came flying out of it with a snarl, but soon found me floating right above him with a wooden staff in both of my hands and ready to strike. He quickly rose his Elven Dagger up and crossed his arms for additional protection as my staff smashed into his dagger, only for an enormous shock-wave to be released from the impact and for him to be sent hurling straight into the frozen lake down below and smash right through the ice and deep into the frigid water.

Double sevenfold impact amplifier Enchantments, very useful for staffs and blunt weapons!

The water surface exploded upward as a massive Ice Atronach rose out of it with Vyrthur on top of it's head, a large cut over his forehead from the resulting impact of my staff.

Golden light erupted out of me as a titanic Eldergleam tree flew down into the lake, it's roots instantly whipping out and tying the Frost Atronach up as it released a wave of cold to counter them.

I rose my hand up and created a massive Cruel Sun, but instead of hurling it I used gravity to compress it into a small ball of concentrate fire. I was inspired by Vyrthur's ice beam, but instead of making it a beam I'll keep it as a simple but overpowered fireball.

I hurled the miniature sun with satisfaction, watching as it created a shock-wave and shattered right through Vyrthur's Ward, then smashed right into his chest and carried him back into the frozen lake before exploding in a massive sphere of fire.

I whistled at that, deciding to name this spell 'Comet' for how fast and hard hitting it is. Creating spells is so fun!

I created another Comet and hurled it at the Frost Atronach, causing it to shatter under the power of the explosion as I willed the Eldergleam to enlarge even more for what was to come.

I just fucking noticed the Word Wall in the middle of the frozen lake, making me realize that this place is exactly where the two dragons are.

The ice covering the lake soon shattered as a twenty meter large orange and yellow dragon came out of the lake while roaring in utter fury, chasing after the retreating form of a fearful looking Vyrthur.

I don't have time to sneer at his predicament when another dragon shattered through the ice and came flying straight towards me, looking exactly the same as the other one.

A massive Lightning Bolt smashed into the dragon, causing it's flight to derail and for it to start flying straight towards the very welcoming and massive Eldergleam tree.

It's giant roots wrap around the roaring dragon as large glowing flowers appeared all around them, then they exploded into a massive and deafening explosion that hurled the dragon back down into the frigid waters of the lake.

I drank a Mana Potion as I watched Vyrthur deal with his dragon, having summoned yet another Frost Atronach to assist him while he threw out Ice Spell after Ice Spell against it.

I breathed out, then took out a certain Dragon Priest mask. Let's see just how strong this thing is and if it's worth using in the future.

I took a deep breath, then put on the mask, ready to remove it the moment it starts tak-

Power. I felt pure power course through my veins, my very Domain exploding in size and allowing me to feel and somewhat control the very Mana inside it.

I looked down at the frigid waters of the lake, and with a simple thought I willed them to turn into poison, and I watched as the water turned into a sickening dark green color and quickly spread to the rest of the water within my enlarged Domain.

It didn't grow by a lot, probably a twenty meters or so more, but that's still a lot, especially since my current Domain is more than a hundred meters large.

Everything started turning into the sickening acidic poison. The water, the ice, the rocks, everything. But this kind of power came at a massive cost, and I'd say I could use the mask for at most three minutes before I ran out of Mana, so I better hurry and finish this.

The dragon came flying out of the poisonous waters while roaring in pain, but was smashed back into them by the massive roots of the Eldergleam. Hopefully it dies quickly under the constant corrosion, especially since he'll definitely drink it too.

I flew across the lake, turning everything in my path into poison and lifting it up into a giant wave, then hurled it at the unsuspecting dragon and Snow Elf while they battled.

They realized it too late and were instantly enveloped by the wave, but I didn't let down and summoned an enormous Geyser right where they were standing, turning it into the acidic poison just as it rose up and making for a deadly combo.

Incredibly hot acidic poison, that's going to be horrifyingly painful.

I removed the mask after changing the Geyser, quickly downed a Mana Potion, then waited and waited.

The other dragon behind me had already died as I felt that it had stopped moving just a couple of seconds ago, but I could feel the dragon in front of me still thrashing around together with Vyrthur. Thank the Gods I didn't allow him to throw any Master Class spells in case he was capable of doing that. And thank the Gods that the dragon kept him distracted.

I narrowed my eyes, the rose my hand up to create another Comet, then kept pouring more and more of my Mana into it to make it much stronger. It grew brighter and hotter, almost blinding me from how bright it was, so I quickly hurled it down, straight towards the still struggling Vyrthur.

He kept freezing the area around him to escape the acidic poison, but it easily melted through his ice covers and was eating away at his armor, skin and Mana very quickly, so I just sped up the process and slammed a highly overcharged Comet right into his back, then threw myself away from the resulting massive explosion and had the Eldergleam catch me out of the air as I panted.

I quickly downed a Mana Potion and glanced around. The lake waters were going back to normal and the massive explosion created by the Comet had already died down and left nothing but a smoldering enormous crater behind, making me sigh in relief.

I would have preferred bringing back a body for the brother to bury, but looks like I won't be able to do that.

I made sure he was actually dead by checking around with my Domain, but when I found nothing I just shrugged and floated down to the dragons remains.

It's too bad that I can't store them since their Soul is still inside their corpse, making them a somewhat still living being. I'll have to bring Aurash with me when I come back and have her devour their Souls.

I called back the Eldergleam tree, downed a Mana Potion, then flew back towards the distant but still visible Chapel, and I wasn't surprised when I saw another Snow Elf standing there waiting.

"So you are the one that killed my brother." I nodded my head after I landed, making the Snow Elf bow his head in thanks. "You have my thanks, now he is free from the control of the Betrayed." I smiled at him, then shook my head with a sigh.

"He was the one controlling them, he was a vampire." His eyes widened, then were soon filled by realization before he sighed through his nostrils, crossing his arms behind his back.

"You are here for Auriel's Bow, are you not?" He asked, then nodded his head to the now raised Wayshrine behind him. "Go ahead, take it." I nodded my head in thanks, then walked down the stairs and around the large Wayshrine until I reached the large doors, then gazed at the floating glowing platinum gold bow.

"Whoa…" I breathed out as I stared at it, gently taking it in my hands and feeling the raw power that poured out of it and into my body.

I pulled back the string and watched as an arrow made out of concentrated Sunfire appeared, and I could feel the might contained within the arrow without even releasing it.

I put the bow into my inventory, then walked out of the Wayshrine and joined Gelebor at the front of the Chapel.

"Aren't you lonely?" I asked gently, unable to hold myself back from asking such a question and making Gelebor turn towards me with a confused look on his face. "You are the Last Snow Elf now, without counting the Falmers." Gelebor smiled kindly at me before shaking his head and turning back to stare straight towards the sun.

"I used to be lonely at first, but then I got used to it and simply decided to focus on my duty. It is what kept me going, and it is what will keep me going." He spoke up softly, making me admire him a great deal. Never once in tens of thousands of years did he ever stop and ignore his duty, all for his God.

"I see… Well, I do feel lonely thinking that I am the Last Nymph." I hummed out loud, smiling as Gelebor's eyes widened as he turned to stare at me in shock. "Oh well, I better go now. It was nice meeting someone like me!" A dark purple rune lit up from under me as Gelebor simply kept staring at me with wide eyes until I disappeared.

I reappeared at the camp I made back at the coast near Solitude, slightly disoriented from the teleportation and quite tired, but fine nonetheless.

I would have gone to take the Shield too, but finding it would have taken far too long so I'll do it the next time I visit the place. I should also really find myself a flying mount, maybe bind a flying monster to conjure?

Speaking off, I should really test things out before using them in battle. Good thing I didn't conjure Potema during the fight as I don't know how strong she actually is in one on one fights. Necromancy is mostly useful in large scale battles after all.

I shake away those thoughts with a sigh, stretch my body, then down another Mana Potion before taking flight.

I have a Vampire to free!

(?)

She was hungry.

She was lonely.

She hated the dark and the constant silence around her.

She hated the stench of dust, and she hated how little room she had for herself. She couldn't even curl up, and her legs had gone numb centuries ago.

Actually, how long has she been here? Why did her mother have to seal her here without her consent? Why didn't she consider her feelings-

BOOM!

She jumped at the sudden and incredibly loud explosion, her eyes wide with hope that someone had finally come here to fre-

"Get the fuck outta my way bitches!" What? What the hell was going on out there?! And why was she hearing so many people screaming?!

And then everything went quiet. Eerily so.

"I hope you hungry girl, I bought you lots of food!" A female voice called out as everything started to shake, and she could feel the coffin she was trapped it slowly rise as hope bubbled up in her chest. And then she finally saw light.

She hissed at it as her eyes stung from finally seeing light after who knows how long, then instantly cursed herself for hissing as her very dry throat started burning.

Her coffin was soon opened and she fell forward, being fully devoid of strength, but was quickly supported by a thin but strong arm.

Her hunger got the better of her, and she instantly bit down on it, and she tasted heaven.

The blood she drank was like the finest and most flavorful wine in the world. So rich, fragrant and filling.

But that rich blood was taken away from her when the owner of the arm flicked her forehead hard enough to make her hiss and recoil back in sharp pain.

"Ever heard of asking for permission? Damn…" Serana groaned and held her burning forehead, then paused when she laid her eyes on the possibly most beautiful woman she had ever seen.

Long flowing ashen blonde hair, glowing and brilliant emerald eyes, a curvaceous body barely hidden by her revealing black armor- and the fucking Elder Hellhound standing right behind her, which was staring at her with a vicious scowl that made her gulp nervously.

Was she going to die seconds after finally being free?

"Here, have these bodies to parch your throat. If you are still thirsty after them then we can find some more bandits later." She watched as the woman tossed out a dozen bodies without a head, all wearing pelt armor.

She instantly bit down on one of them, but frowned when the blood tasted bland compared to the one from the woman that had pulled her out of the coffin.

"What's with that look? I won't give you more of my blood until I trust you more. Dunno why you would even want it when I already gave you so many bodies." Serana's face flushed up a bit at being caught staring, but quickly composed herself and coughed into her fist to get her voice back.

"Who are you?" She finally asked, finally remembering about the Elder Scrolls on her back and growing more serious. Her eyes flashed around for any possible escape routes she could use if the situation turned bad.

"Name's Flora, and I'm not here for that useless Scroll, the one I need is several kilometers underground. I came here to free you and avoid having you land in the clutches of your very insane father." Her eyes narrowed even more at Flora's words, but the woman simply shrugged off her suspicion and dragged a corpse over from the distance with magic, making her eyes widen when she saw the very familiar looking armor. "He needs you and three other Elder Scrolls to fulfill a fake prophecy that would have led you to your enslavement. But the prophecy is gone now since…" Flora rose her hand, and she jumped back when a brilliant platinum gold bow appeared in her hand, making her eyes go wide as she felt her skin sting just by standing there. "I already have Auriel's Bow, and he doesn't know that." Serana gulped and stared at the woman in new light. She knew now that she stood no chance in a straight up fight against her for multiple reasons.

One, she had what was definitely Auriel's Bow, a weapon of legends. Two, she was incredibly weak right now. And three, the Hellhound was still snarling at her.

"Then, why did you free me?" She asked warily, still on edge from how sudden all of this was, but found herself relaxing slightly under the very kind smile Flora gave her.

"Well, one reason is because I hated the fact that you were conscious while being sealed down there in the dark, and I wanted to free you." Serana found herself confused from the very kind intentions this stranger had towards her, but kept on listening for the other reasons. "Two, it's because the world is already going to shit right now and I don't want your insane father to make it much worse. And three, I need strong allies and people I can trust around me, and I know that you can be one of them." Serana blinked, even more confused than before, and watched as Flora turned around and indicated to follow her. Serana of course quickly did so as she didn't want to piss off the massive Hellhound even more. She had a fear of dogs, and now there was a very massive one glaring daggers at her!

"In case you were wondering, you've been sealed for thousands of years now. It's now the Fourth Era, and Alduin, the personification of the Apocalypse, is flying around and reviving dragons while sending the world into chaos." Flora turned towards her with a massive smile while her face paled more and more. "Welcome back to the Skyrim!"

Perhaps she should seal herself again?
