When June had entered into Hermaeus Mora's realm she appeared from a portal in the sky and hit the ground hard. Though that was hours ago, at least she thinks it has only been hours. She always lost time here, there was no day, there was no night. Things just were. June had hurt her leg when she landed on the ground, it wasn't broken but it ached when she moved. She forced herself to ignore it, she had to. A leg sprain was not going to slow her down and it certainly wasn't going to be the death of her. That would just be embarrassing.

June was hiding behind one of the giant book shelves trying to contain her hard breathing. She was running for what seemed like forever from a herd of monsters that spawned out of the black ooze that surrounded her. She was able to take some out and loose the others but the rest did not want to give up. They must of really had a taste for her. June slowly pulled out an arrow and got it ready in her bow. She took a deep breath and than quickly jumped out shooting the arrow out at the first monster. It went down squealing in pain and the others charged at her.

June threw her bow to the side and quickly drew out her sword. She dodged flaying limps and spells. She spent most of the time dodging the attacks but she was able to get a swing here and there. She ducked another flying limb and quickly ran under the giant monster. The monster lost its balance and fell to the floor. Finally an advantage for June!

Before the monster could regain itself she jumped on it's back and stabbed the sword through its head killing it quickly. She only had a moment to enjoy her small victory before the next one came charging for her. She jumped off it's back and dodged the other ones attack. She managed to slip out of its sight, in that moment of confusion she quickly went back to her bow and grabbed it. Before it could locate her again she drew an arrow back and shot it right in the back of its head. Two down and one more to go. It was a seeker and it was still shooting spells at her.

Luckily for June seekers were range attackers, that was a huge advantage for her because so was she. They didn't have any hard plating like the lurkers so she just had to watch where it was throwing spells at her and aim just right. June calculated their distance from each other in a split second and than shot an arrow out at it hitting it right in the eye. The seeker cried out in pain and than fell to the floor dissolving. June looked around to make sure that there were no more and than let out a huge relieved sigh. She knew that there was probably more on the way to her destination but at least she got a small break now.

She placed her bow and arrows up against a book case and slowly sat down on the ground wincing from her aching leg. June leaned her back against the shelf and closed her eyes. She started thinking back about Vilkas again and how he proposed to her. The situation was sudden and a bit awkward but that's how she loved it with him. Just thinking about the moment brought a small smile on her face and gave her more reason to leave this place quickly.

June quickly opened her eyes and got up grabbing her things. She slowly walked out of the small parted room from the hallway and looked both ways to be sure that nothing had stuck up on her in the quick second she took a break. She was relieved to see that it was still empty. She let out a small sigh and continued down her path.

Seradia was rounding everybody up as fast as she could. The attack had not yet happened. It seemed like the Thalmor army was waiting for something..but what? She kept on wondering. As she pointed a family towards the Hall of the Dead she suddenly heard marching footsteps down the street. She turned and saw that the Stormcloak army along with the Companions were ready and heading for the main gate with Ulfric leading them.

Ulfric walked up the ramps along the wall that separated Windhelm from the rest of Skyrim. Once he reached its point he looked out at the vast army of elves awaiting them. They were just standing there, waiting it seemed. Waiting for him. As Ulfric showed himself to them the Elves began to part as a general walked through them. The Thalmor general reached the front of the army and looked up at Ulfric with an amused smile as if they had already won.

"Ulfric Stormcloak!" The general's voice echoed around them. Ulfric furrowed his eyebrows down with no response. "It is time for you and your followers to surrender yourselves and end this war!" The general commanded. "And which war do you speak of!?" Ulfric taunted him. "The war you hope to start with the Thalmor. You're attack on our fellow soldiers in Whiterun did not go unnoticed!" The general taunted back. "Our attack!? We were simply defending the innocent from your slaughter!" Ulfric glared deeply at the Elf.

"And who claims their innocence?! You!?" The general almost laughed. "That city was only the first to be taken down by the Aldmeri Dominion! We attacked because the Yarl did not cooperate with us. Do not make the same mistake as he!" "You bastard!" Yarl Balgruuf suddenly appeared by Ulfric's side. "We didn't cooperate because you sought an innocent and than you killed more innocents in my streets! You will pay for each and every one who died that day!" Balgruuf's face flashed red as his eyes had fire in them. He was determined to have that Elf's head.

"You attack us and that only proves our claim to the empire that your starting a war!" Uflric shouted. "It's your word against ours Ulfric. Who do you think the Emperor will really believe?!" The Elf mocked him. "A rebel soldier VS a loyal Thalmor to the Dominion? Even your not that stupid to think they'd choose you over us." The general looked away with an amused smile stuck on his face. Ulfric glared deeply at the general but he knew that he was not wrong. If they lost today it would only look like that the Thalmor were helping. If they won, it would look like Ulfric murdered them and started a whole new war.

The general looked back at Ulfric this time with a glare. "Now, I will not ask again. You and your followers surrender and we may not harm your city." A small crooked smile curved on his face. Ulfric sneered and glared at the gall of that Elf. Ulfric slowly looked behind him and saw every soldier and citizen who was able to fight was ready to fight for him and the people of his city. He looked to Balgruuf who was looking at him. Balgruuf nodded at Ulfric and Ulfric replied with a nod as well.

Ulfric slowly looked to the Thalmor army and than to the general. "You want me and my soldiers? Than come and get me!" Ulfric's voice echoed all through the city and the mountains. The general glared at him and there was a split second of silence, not even the wind dared to howl. Than the general took his sword out and raised it in the air. "Attack! Spare no one!" On his order his soldiers all charged at once. "Get ready! Today we prove that Skyrim belongs to us!" Ulfric yelled as he turned around to face his soldiers. All of his soldiers raised their weapons and shields in the air and replied with a loud shout.

Soon the gates of the city were shaking and breaking down into small pieces. The shielded soldiers quickly gathered in front and placed their giant shields above them to protect the attackers behind them. Seradia stood frozen for a moment and than jumped when she heard the gate come crashing down. Soon the sound of fighting and people dying came right after it. Her heart started to beat fast in her chest and for a moment she panicked.

She quickly looked around and saw citizens running around in a panic she than realized she had to calm down and keep doing what she was ordered to do. "Everybody come with me!" She yelled waving her arms in the air. Everybody did what they were told followed close behind her. 'Gods protect us.' She prayed.

"Shit!" June yelled as she jumped away from a flinging tentacle. It barely missed her as she almost fell into the black ooze. She was dodging attacks from a seeker and wasn't watching where she was going. She no longer feared the creatures that roamed this realm. In fact she found them annoying and was glad to be rid of them. Before the seeker could cast another spell at her she quickly shot an arrow at it hitting it right in the head killing it quickly.

She sighed as she watched it go down and dissolve into the floor. Since she arrived here June had not stopped moving, now it seemed like she was here for days. The ground below her felt like it was spinning but she kept going, she had to keep going. She needed to end this once and for all. Though she had all of the words to the shout she needed she still didn't know what kind of battle she would be facing and how strong Miraak really was.

Thinking about it made her stomach twist, she knew that if she lost that all of Tameriel would be doomed. Vilkas would be doomed. She had to win, no matter the cost. Even if it took her life, she had to win. June collected herself and continued down the hall. The hall led to a room with a large stair case. She walked up the stair case and examined it for a bit. It led to a large black door, she wondered where it went and knew that there was only one way to find out. She swallowed hard and took a deep breath as she started to walk up the large staircase.

When she reached the door she placed both hands on it and gave it a hard push. The door opened on it's own the rest of the way. It revealed a large room with several different pedestals. The pedestals had strange markings on them. There was a huge hole leading to the dark sea of black ooze in the middle of the room. June shivered a little as she imagined what would happen if she fell in. She could see several tentacle swimming around as if waiting for her to meet her end with them.

She let out a small sigh and began to examine the pedestals. She touched one of the symbols, once her fingers came into contact with it words slowly appeared underneath the symbol. It was a riddle, one that June did not understand. She furrowed her eyebrows down as she repeated the riddle in her mind several times. Than it suddenly came to her. She remembered that when she first entered this part of the realm she found several strange books that did nothing when she opened them. She kept them in case they would come in handy and it seems she made the right call because the riddle was speaking about one of the books.

June quickly reached into her bag and pulled out the book. She placed the book on the pedestal and once it was placed the pedestal began to glow. She smiled at her small victory and did the same with the others. Once the last book was in its place the floor beneath her began to shake. She stumbled around for a moment and than grabbed onto the pedestal holding onto it as tight as she could. Falling into the unknown black ooze did not settle will with her.

As the ground continued to shake a large platform started to rise out of the black ooze. It rose till it fit in the hole in the middle of the floor perfectly, once it did the shaking stopped. June let out a relieved sigh and slowly stood up straight. In the middle of the newly risen platform she saw that there was another large pedestal with a large black book in it. She let out a sigh hoping that this would be the last one and approached it. June slowly opened the book, it's pages flipped open on its own and than a portal appeared taking June right in it.

June fell out of the portal and onto another platform. Once she regained herself she looked around and saw that she was on a single platform. There was nothing around her but open space and the black oozing sea below her. She blinked for a moment and looked around more at the familiar area. She than realized that she was where she first appeared in this realm. This is where she first encountered Miraak. She now knew that she was close.

She started to walk around to see if there was anything to the platform but than suddenly a rush of wind came over her knocking her to the ground. She winced at the pain in her leg and than looked up seeing that Miraak's dragon had appeared. It was flying right above her. "You think you are a match for my master Dragonborn!?" The dragon yelled and than roared fire in the air. "You will be no match for me and I will prove it as I devour you!" It suddenly landed causing the platform below them to shake.

June struggled to find her footing and once she did she had to quickly run out of the way for a fire ball was flying right for her. The dragon was determined to make her it's dinner. June dodged more fire and than shot arrows out at the dragon but the arrows only bounced off of its hard plating. 'Dammit!' She cursed to herself. This dragon was no normal dragon, just by looking at it one could tell.

When she got close to it the dragon whipped its tale around trying to knock her off her feet but she was able to jump over it and keep charging at it. She pulled her blade out and hopped right onto its head. "Do you think I am weak enough that some act like that can stop me!?" The dragon yelled as it shook its head violently. Normally it would work on any dragon that was immune to her arrows, this was not one of them.

The dragon shook its head harder, June's arms finally gave in and had to let go. She went flying in the air and hit the platform hard. She slid over the edge but was quick enough to grab it before she fell into the ooze, unfortunately she was not quickly enough to grab her blade as it too went sliding over the edge. She watched her only blade fall into the black ooze and slowly sink down. 'Dammit!' She cursed again. The only weapon she had now was her voice.

She had not yet used the new shout she learned and now would be a perfect time to use it. She did not know what the effects of it would be but what did she have to loose now? Other than her life. June took in a deep breath and pulled herself up back to the platform. She didn't have time to catch her breath for the dragon was getting ready to shout another fire ball at her.

June breathed in deeply as she let the word burn deep into her mind and her soul. She closed her eyes till she could see the word itself glow inside her mind. "GOL HAH DOV!" The shout came out as a force like no other. It slammed itself against the dragon causing it fall to the ground. The shout took much of June's strength. She fell to her knees and had to re collect herself for a moment. She heard the dragon moving around and the platform below them shook as it approached her.

She was getting ready for another attack but instead the dragon bowed its head before her. "What are you commands master?" It asked. June blinked and starred at it for a moment not sure of what just happened. "Are you in my control now?" She asked it as she slowly stood up. "I am yours now master." The dragon replied keeping its head bowed. "What are your commands?" It asked again.

June was still surprised by the effect of the shout but she just took in a deep breath and stood up straight. "Can you take me to Miraak?" She asked. "I can. I know where the former Dragonborn dwells." The dragons lowly rose its head up and looked at her. "The only way to get there is by flight. Climb onto me and I will bring you to him." The dragon lowered its body for her. June nodded and quickly climbed onto its back. "Let us be off!" The dragon suddenly took off in the air causing June to quickly grab a hold of it and hold on tightly.
