8th of Rain's Hand
'Dragonborn'… That's what I am now. How in Talos' name did I even get to earn such an honorable rank? Well, it's all Akatosh's doing. If he wants me to be the Dragonborn of this age, then I will be. But what's my destiny? I know it's something to do with these dragons, but is there something more to it than that? I don't know yet, but I will find out.

I'm heading to Kynesgrove now. Delphine was the one took the horn from Ustengrav. When questioned why, she won't tell me anything until I help her kill a Dragon in Kynesgrove. Well, if anything, I don't like her attitude. But what can I do? Dragons are coming back, and we need to rid the world of them.

I'll write again if I live to defeat this dragon.

Still thinking about 13 years ago… Should I go back?

Kayleigh Leanne closed her journal with a sigh. 4 days had passed since her escape from the chopping block and on the same day, she helped defeat a dragon outside of Whiterun and also absorbed its soul – indicating that she was the legendary Dragonborn. It was a lot to take in, but she managed to get around it. If it's Skyrim that Dragons are terrorizing, she won't stand for it. No one, that includes dragons are going to take her home away from her.

"Shh! Don't let it see us!" Delphine instructed in a whisper, and she crouched behind a large rock.

Kayleigh did the same, but she glanced up at the sky. Hey, wait a minute... wasn't that dragon from... from Helgan!?

It flew all around the burial and eventually levitated upon it. "Sahloknir! Zill gro Dovah Ulse! Slen Tiid Vo!"

Kayleigh glanced down at the large hole in the ground. The dirt rumbled as a skeletal dragon emerged from it. Kayleigh's jaw dropped as what appeared to be the dragon's skin started to piece together like jigsaw puzzles on the skeleton.

It looked up at the black dragon. "Alduin, thuri! Boaan tiid vokriiha suleyksejun kruziik?"

"Geh, Sahloknir. Kaali mir." The black dragon replied. Then to Kayleigh's dismay, the black Dragon looked at her. "Ful losei, Dovahkiin? Zu'u koraav nid nol dov do hi."

Kayleigh knitted her eyebrows together in major confusion. And irritation. "Hey! You think I understand what you're saying, you big lizard?" She yelled.

The black dragon huffed. "You do not know our tongue, do you? Such arrogance! To dare take for yourself the name of Dovah!" It turned his gaze back to the resurrected Dragon. "Sahloknir! Krii daar joorre!" So ordering, it flew off.

Krii daar joorre? Oh, snap… 'Kill the mortals'!

Sahloknir took flight and almost immediately breathed fire over them. Kayleigh took cover behind her Steel Shield. Instantly, she summoned a Conjure Flame Atronach from her left hand before switching to Firebolt. She pulled out her Steel Sword and waited for that dragon to land on the ground but in the meantime she fired those Firebolts.

"I am Sahloknir! Hear my Voice and despair!" He roared mightily.

"You can't beat me, Sahloknir! FORGET ABOUT IT!" She shouted back. She knew this was the time to use the first Dragon Shout she had ever fully learned. "Fus Ro DAH!"

The Unrelenting Force shout connected and Sahloknir roared in pain. Yet, he still flew on, trying his hardest to shake it off.

"Get DOWN HERE! Fight me as a real dragon!"

Sahloknir did just that. "Dovahkiin! Your voice is no match for mine!"

Kayleigh readied her Steel Shield. With all the strength she had, she drove the sword into the neck of Sahloknir. He let out another painful roar. "Tahrodiis (Treacherous) Dovahkiin!"

"What's the matter? Can't take a hit?" She taunted, and stabbed Sahloknir in the neck again.

Unable to take another hit, he took flight. Kayleigh's eyes followed Sahloknir as he flew over her and Delphine. Delphine released several arrows at the dragon. Kayleigh tossed her shield aside for the time being and fired a few firebolts.

"Get your butt BACK HERE! Fus RO DAH!"

Sahloknir growled in pain once again and hit the ground, hard. He was bleeding when Kayleigh took this opportunity to run up to him and jump on top of his head. "Nid (No)! Get off, Joor (Mortal)!" He demanded.

"Nighty-night, you big lizard..." She smirked, and drove her Steel Sword right in the center of the dragon's head.

Sahloknir let out a final roar and plopped his head on the ground, finally dead. Kayleigh jumped off and landed on her feet perfectly and sheathed her sword. Delphine walked up to her, impressed and overjoyed.

"I can't believe it! You killed him!"

Kayleigh kept her back to the dead Sahloknir was about to say something when she felt that same feeling the first time she first killed a dragon, the one outside of Whiterun. She felt the power growing inside of her as she absorbed Sahloknir's soul.

"You… you just…" Delphine's eyes widened. "You really are Dragonborn…"

"You don't say?" Kayleigh said sarcastically and took a few intimidating steps to Delphine. "You owe me some answers, and I want proper answers. Now."
