The flight I had in the mouth of the Dragon, Inviiktuz. Seemed to go on forever, I was barely conscious as I couldn't breath in the lethal air of Ashpit. Eventually I awoke in a strange place... or at least strange for the Plain of Oblivion that the Deadric Prince Malacath reigned over. "Where... where am I?" I asked as I looked around my surroundings. All I could tell was that the area was nothing like the Ashpit. It was just... a garden of sorts. But for some reason, everything wasn't colored, just black and white. "Ah! You have awoken joor. I had feared that you would not awake." Inviiktuz said. "You have my thanks... do you know who I am?" I asked. "That depends. Wo los hi?" Inviiktuz asked. "My name is Fange... and I am the Last Dragonborn." I said, Inviiktuz looked taken aback by my claim. "Krosis? You are Dovakiin?" Inviiktuz asked.
"Yes, I have stopped Alduin's plans for Nirn... and I have come to take you home." I said, Inviiktuz then inhaled my scent. "Hm... you smell like Dov. But at times joor reek of strange pook." Inviituz said, I then remembered my first meeting with Paarthurnax. "FUS RO DAH!" I shouted at him, knocking Inviiktuz back. "Geh... GEH! You are Dovahkiin! But why have you come here?..." Inviiktuz said. "Relax, I'm not here to slay you. It's the opposite in fact, I've come to get you out of Ashpit, and back to Nirn." I said. "You... you would return me to Vus? To Taazokaan?" Inviiktuz asked. "Yes... you want to go now or lat-"
"DO IT DOVAKIIN! I grow ahtiid of ash, dust, and the wailings! I loath there noise! TAKE. ME. HOME!" Inviiktuz ranted. "Very well... NAHL WUNDUN VUS!" I shouted, it wasn't too long before we returned to the Throat of the World. "Zeymah Inviiktuz... is that you?" Paarthurnax asked, not recognizing the pale ash colored Inviiktuz asked. "Paarthurnax... has Alduin been dethroned?" Inviiktuz asked. "Yes brother. Alduin was cast low in Sovengard itself. By the young warrior who brought you back." Paarthurnax said. "GEH! Dovahkiin, you have my teeth and claws for whatever you wish." Inviiktuz said. "Funny that you mention that... let me ride you. North east of the mountain." I said. "A strange request Dovahkiin. I shall take you to where you desire. But I must ask why?" Inviiktuz asked as I mounted on his neck. "I'll explain on the way the best that I can." I said as we rode off. Our next destination, the Thalmor Embassy.
I told Inviiktuz about the Thalmor, of how they and the Aldmeri Dominion had brought the Septim Empire to it's knee's. Forced the Empire to ban the worship of Talos, and had manipulated the civil war in Skyrim to weaken the Empire by and large. What's worse, there actively seeking to destroy the mortal world, so that the High Elves could ascend to godhood. I wanted to ask Inviiktuz if it was true that the Elves were gods before the gods created the world... but he was far to angry to answer me. Outraged that the Thalmor would dare try to seek godhood. At the expense of there kindred mortals, and in direct defiance of the Divines. By the time we arrived we were effectively hanging over the embassy... then he did a nose dive through the air. Smashing the embassy, and roasting Thalmor guards alive. "Right... so I'll be in the dungeons." I said. "YOL TOOR SHUL!" Inviiktuz shouted, completely ignoring me. "Well... have fun." I said as I left Inviiktuz to his bloodshed. So I snuck into the embassy dungeons. Where they kept there prisoners, and where Esbern was most likely being held captive.
Thankfully the place was virtually deserted as the Thalmor guards gave greater priority to the Dragon tearing the place apart like a starved saber-tooth to a felled mammoth. But I eventually found Esbern... being tortured by Elenwen. The leader of the Thalmor in Skyrim. "ELENWEN!" I shouted to her as I unsheathed my sword and shield. The sword is of stalhrim, a mineral found only on the island of Solstheim, and in turn enchanted with Chaos Damage, I had named it Winters-Bite. "Dragonborn... I was wondering when you would get here." Elenwen said, seemingly oblivious to the chaos Inviiktuz was causing upstairs. "Had to take a trip to Ashpit... found the Dragon that's tearing your embassy apart. Now, I'm only going to say this nicely one time. Where. Is. Esbern? You Elven Witch." I said, bearing Winters-Bight at her. "He is alive, if that is your concern. Now, would you kindly-"
I cut her off as I chopped of her legs, and putting my foot over her throat. "You didn't answer my question. WHERE. IS. ESBERN!?" I said as I put Winters-Bite to her forehead. "The Dominion will be-"
"TELL ME WHERE ESBERN IS, OR YOUR LIFE IS FORFEIT!" I shouted drawing a scar across her forehead. "Very well... he is in the interrogation chamber. The Blade lasted longer then, I had though thatt a man of his age would be far more fragile. But he didn't say a word." Elenwen said, and believe me... it took everything for me to not just end her there, and wipe this stain from Tamriel. But after everything she's put Skyrim through... I have something special planned for her. So I went to the 'interrogation chamber'... and I found Esbern stretched on a rack. "Esbern... by the gods what has that monster done to you?" I said as I undid the old man from the rack. "She... wanted the location of other Blades... and Sky Haven Temple. I told her... NOTHING." Esbern said, then Inviiktuz burst through the floor. "Dovahkiin, the Pahlok Thalmor have been al." Inviiktuz said. "Dragonborn... why is that Dragon with you?" Esbern asked. "We had this exact same discussion when you wanted me to kill Paarthurnax. Speaking of which, Inviiktuz, can you take Esbern back to High Hrothgar?" I asked. "Geh Dovakiin, but as he is, I do not believe he will survive the journey. VOKRII SLEN MUZ!" Inviiktuz shouted, healing Esbern's wounds... and by extension Elenwen.
"Well... at least it'll mean that she'll live long enough for what I have in store for her." I said as I walked over to Elenwen, and punched her unconscious. Eventually she awoke, tied to a tree that was before a cave. "Elenwen... for your crimes against the Kingdom of Skyrim, and for the crimes you committed against the Empire during the Great War. I sentence you to be eaten alive by bears. So that you might suffer, as you have forced others to suffer. For every man, women and child taken at night as punishment for honoring Talos, and every innocent you had a hand in executing for know reason beyond simple spite or disloyalty to the Thalmor. They shall rest easier with you gone. KADAAV BEL FAHDON!" I shouted into the cave, and out arrived a bear, and a hungry looking one. Though while my Shout made the bear an ally... I'd rather not chance it. So I rode off as Elenwen was begging for mercy.
Then something occurred to me, the Kingdom of Skyrim has no High King. Ulfric is dead, and to be honest, I never really trusted Elisif to be made High Queen. So now, a Moot has to be called to finally settle the empty throne of Skyrim... and I think I know the perfect candidate for the Jagged Crown.
