Sorry it took so long to update. I actually had this chapter ready to go in August, but I kept forgetting to post it.


As the sound of roaring was heard again, the rest of the group (save for Bruce who stayed inside with Lucia and Sofie) also ran out of the house right as the dragon was seen flying near the bridge with the guards that are stationed on on the bridge firing arrows at it, along with both Ulfric and Loki also firing arrows at the dragon. As the dragon got closer, Loki saw that it was an Elder Dragon and instead of breathing fire, it breathed frost, which she was glad about.

Soon enough, the dragon landed on the ground, and while Ulfric and the guards from the bridge started attacking it, while Loki stayed farther away and continued firing her arrows at it.

But before the dragon was defeated, it fired frost at Loki, with Thor shouting, "LOKI!" in fear of his sister would get hurt. But Thor was also confused and angry at how Ulfric wasn't terrified of Loki getting hurt, until Thor saw Loki's skin turn blue with raised lines on her skin and her eyes turning red, followed by her using her own powers of ice by attacking the Elder Dragon the rest of the way until it was dead.

As the Avengers and the Asgardians, along with Bruce, Sofie, and Lucia who came out of the Estate once the dragon was dead, something started happening to the dead dragon. What happened was it started catching on fire and it looked as though its esence of sort came out of it and started swarming Loki, and then went into her.

While her husband and daughters and the guards were around her, thanking and congratulating her while others went to take apart the skeleton of the dragon to put the bones to better use, Clint then said to the group, "The last thing that she is, is the Dragonborn!"

"The Dragonborn?" Thor and Steve both said, since they were the ones that didn't know much about Skyrim, Thor more-so.

"The Dragonborn is a person that has the blood of a dragon and can absorb the souls of dragons, permanently killing them." Natasha said to the two men.

"Does being this 'Dragonborn' make her very important?" Thor asked, unsure if Loki being this 'Dragonborn' will have any effect on her coming home, even just for a little while to at least show her husband and daughters where she grew up, and for Odin and Frigga to see their daughter again, and to meet their granddaughters and son-in-law.

"It's very important about me being the Dragonborn." Loki said right behind Thor, startling him. "Even though I defeated Alduin about eight years ago in Sovenguard, there are still numerous dragons that Alduin brought back from the dead. And while the numbers have been getting smaller, there are still dragons flying around, just not as much as there used to be. In fact. The last dragon that showed up was about 3 or so months ago and that was at Silent Moons Camp, which is a good thing, meaning that the numbers of the dragons still around is starting to diminish."

"Will you at least come home to at least visit mother and father and to let them know your okay and happy in Skyrim?" Thor said, after not even a minute passed.

Giving a moment to think it over, "If I do, I wouldn't be there for that long and only to let Odin and Frigga know that I'm fine and happy." Loki said to her brother.

Thor was happy enough to know that Loki would visit Asgard, since it was better than not ever going back. That said, once the skeleton of the dragon was taken care of, Ulfric went back to the city, while Lucia and Sofie stayed with Loki, who went back to Frostvale Estate with her brother and his friends.

~~~~~~~~~Later

It wasn't until sometime later on with the group was spending time with Loki's twin daughters when Clint's curiosity got the best of him, since already this Skyrim was different than the video game, with so far the biggest difference being that Argonians and Dark Elves in Windhelm are treated as well as the Nords in the city are more respecting towards the other races. But Clint wanted to know if there were more differences in this Skyrim than the video game and confronted Loki when she was in the kitchen making herself something to eat when Clint joined her at the table she was sitting at, eating some sort of meat steak.

"I'm trying not to be rude, but are there any other differences in Skyrim?"

"What do you mean by that?" Loki questioned him.

Trying to find the right words, "you see...There is a very popular video game based off of Skyrim that also comes in a series called 'The Elder Scrolls' and the fifth game is called 'Skyrim'. I played the video game so many times with different characters and I'm just wondering if there is any differences to this Skyrim than the video game."

The only response he got was Loki laughing with a laugh of amusement.

"What's so funny?" Clint replied very confused.

Once she stopped laughing, Loki then said, "I know about the video game series and I too have played the video game version of 'Skyrim'."

"HOW!?"

"You see. Sometimes when I want to just get away from the hustle and bustle of Skyrim, I would go to Midgard or Earth as you call it and since I have friends on Midgard, I would stay with them and one of the games they had was Skyrim, so I played it. Both vanilla Skyrim and modded Skyrim, and I have to say, modded Skyrim is more like this Skyrim here."

Sitting in his chair with his face all dumbstruck, Clint then found his voice. "So you know of the differences between both this Skyrim and the video game?"

"Of cousre. To start or with, the Stormcloak army is very diverse since about a few years after the Great War ended, the Thalmor on a power high at how they were able to control the Emperor with the threat of removing him from his throne decided to give the White Gold Contract got what you would call 'an update' with the Thalmor changing over the years so that not only Talos worship is banned, but so is Deadra worship, the Green Pact being outlawed, the way of the Hist being outlawed, all Elves even the Orcs having to worship Auriel like the Thalmor do, and eventually, three years before Alduin returned, those Thalmor were working on making it so that every race has to have the main worship they follow being Auriel worship, with the Emperor actually agreeing with the Thalmor and gave the 'OK' to let that happen. With all of the races now pissed off at the Thalmor and at the Emperor, they sided with Ulfric since he was the only person that actually had the backbone to actually do something about everyone's freedom of worship being taken."

"What other differences are there?"

"Let's see." Loki started, tapping her index finger to her chin. "Falkreath, Morthal, & Dawnstar are not puny cities and do have more residences there, along with Irvastead and Riverwood being bigger with Irvastead having more residences. Solitude, Markarth, Whiterun and Riften while are the same size, they instead have more scenery and add-ons to the buildings. Along with Sorli the Builder is not the Jarl of Morthal, and instead, Idgrod the Younger is."

"What." Clint started, "Idgrod the Younger is Jarl?"

"She was meant to be Jarl and in this Skyrim, before the Civil War took effect, she had a dead relative telling her about Talos worship and just like that relative, Idgrod hated how her parents took the cowardly way out and gave up on Talos worship to make the Thalmor happy with her brother being raised to not even know Talos. Idgrod was very angry at this and in secret, she would aid the Stormcloaks and when we took Morthal, she gave us the aid we needed and even took the Jarl throne from her mother.

"The only other change in Jarl's is that Balgruuf is still Jarl of Whiterun thanks to me having to drag him by the ear to actually show him just how terrible the Thalmor are and I even told him that I know he still worships Talos. It took those two things and a couple of other things to get through to him that even included going to the Stormcloak camp in his own Hold to see the diversity and hearing the stories of how those soldiers joined the Rebellion to also help it get through his head to side with the Stormcloaks. Of cousre, the Legion wasn't too happy with him when he sided with the Rebellion and sent Legion soldiers and Thalmor agents to attack Whiterun, the Stormcloaks and Companions aiding in stopping the Legion soldiers and Thalmor from taking Whiterun."

"Those are big differences." Clint said once the info sunk in his head. "Is there any other differences that you know of off hand?"

Thinking about it, "Besides there being more people actually in Skyrim, the only other difference I can think of is the Forsworn became allies to the Stormcloaks." she was about to continue.

Now that stopped Clint. "The Forsworn and Stormcloaks as allies!? I thought they hated Ulfric."

"At first when the Markarth Incident happened, but when imprisoned, both Ulfric and Madanach not only got to hear both sides, but they also found out they share the same thing. And that is their hatred in Igmund, who by the way truly started the Civil War in the first place when he betrayed Ulfric." Loki replied back.

Silence then followed until Clint broke it. "Have you thought about going back to Asgard for just a small while?"

Sighing, "I have." Pausing for a minute before speaking again. "I was thinking of maybe staying for at least 3 weeks with Lucia and Sofie being with me for the 3 weeks with Ulfric only stay for the first week, just so that Odin and Frigga can meet my husband and daughters."

"Have you discussed this with Ulfric?"

"I will soon." And after that when looking outside the window nearby, Loki noticed how dark it was and determined that it was not only late, but very late, as in around midnight at the most. Saying 'good night' to Clint and with him helping her on gathering her twins that were asleep on pelt in her library, she left the estate and walked back to Windhelm.

After putting the girls to bed and using her magic to change their regular dresses to their night gowns, Loki then closed the door to their room and walked up to her room where Ulfric was fast asleep. Changing into her own night gown and putting her maternity dress away, Loki then quietly crawled into bed to avoid waking her husband up, only once she was settled and ready to sleep, she felt two strong arms wrap around her.

"I thought you were asleep?" Loki said.

"I wasn't fully asleep when you walked in." Ulfric replied back.

Knowing that it was best to get this over with, Loki said, "I was thinking of heading back to Asgard for 3 weeks and bringing the girls with and possibly you along for at least the first week, with me and the girls staying for the other two weeks."

It didn't take long for Ulfric to respond back. "It's fine by me what you do." He paused, then continued, "I'm just worried that something might happen to all of you when I'm not there."

Doing her best to turn onto her other side in order to face her husband, Loki responded back, "Nothing will happen to us while on Asgard." She paused, then continued. "Even if Odin does try something, Frigga will not let him. Otherwise he'll be harming the mother of her three grandchildren, and Divines know that she has been wanting to become a grandmother ever since Thor and myself were both considered adults."

Feeling at ease that his wife and children would be safe on Asgard for the two weeks that he won't be there, Ulfric wrapped his arms around Loki to keep her close to him before they both fell fast asleep.


Now the Avengers and Asgardians know about Loki being the dragonborn and I also added my own differences to this Skyrim. Right now, I am currently starting the next chapter, and hopefully it doesn't take me forever to post it.
