So, I wanted to start this one, even though I have yet to finish Beyond the Facade. Though BtF is going to be a long one.
Ok, this fan fic is going to have a lot of the dov language. So at the bottom, I'm going to offer my translations so that you don't have to go looking through the official website.
The nord look around after her vision cleared. The cold air instantly penetrated her damaged armor causing her to shiver. She raised her head to see Paarthurnax as the chorus of dragon voices filled the air as they took flight. Evry stumbled forward towards the old dragon who kept his eyes on her, but made sure to keep a weary watch on all the dragons, to make sure none took revenge for Alduin.
Evry held her armor, as parts of it were threatening to fall off. She stopped and looked up at the helpful, kind dragon. "I...it is finished." She gasped out, her breath labored. She was tired, and injured.
The dragon nodded solumnly, "Bonaar Dovahkiin. I know. I cannot congradulate you got this though. Alduin Lost Dii Zeymah." He said with a sad note to his voice. He sighed after his statement. "Did you receive his Sil?"
Evry shook her head, then the realization of it hit her. "N-no. I didn't" She started, confusion evident all through her voice, "Why? I hadn't noticed before, but I didn't. Why didn't I?"
"I do not know, Krosis. I believe that our Bormah, Akatosh will allow him at the end to fulfill his duty." He raised his head to the sky to watch the dragons circle the mountain "For the Dov. They will learn the way of the voice, and will hear my Thu'um." He said as he spread his wings and gave them a strong downward beat to life his old, heavy body from the ground. He let out a loud roar to call the dragons to his voice.
Evry watched her friend lift from his perch, and took several steps back before dropping to her knees in the snow. Her exhaustion now catching up with her. Every time she blinked her eyelids grew heavier. Just before she fell asleep in the snow, a heavy thump landed near her, shocking her back awake. She looked up at the the dark red dragon that had landed next to her, and let out a sigh.
Odahviing observed the tired dragonborn for several long moments before bowing his head to her. "Alduin has proven himself unworthy to rule...I go my own way now." He said slowly, though with a lighter note to his voice, as though a weight lift from his shoulders. "Should you need my, I shall be here." He said as he stretched his wings to gesture to the mountain top. "Call me, and I will come, if I can." He added before dropping his wings back to the ground to hold himself up.
He watched the tired human, still slumped in the ground, but she smiled at him as she looked at him and raised her hand, a little away from his snout. He paused for a few moments before closing his eyes, and leaned his snout into the small hand. He then stepped around her, and curled around her to keep her warm. She'd proven to be a better leader than Alduin. Though her strong soul was trapped in a vulnerable mortal body. He had to protect that human shell.
"Thank you, Odahviing. You've been so..." She paused to yawn, "So helpful." All her strength left and she leaned against the large dragon and yawned again. Her eyes drifted closed and she quickly fell asleep, cradled in the wings of the dragon.

A snowflake fell down, landing on the nord's cheek causing her the grunt. Then she shivered and groaned when a cold breeze passed through her damage armor, causing her to fully wake, despite her want to stay sleeping. She looked around, sleepily noting the dragon's wings that caged her from most of the cold.
Evry followed the wings up to their owner, confusion clouded by the sleep still there to remember the few events just before she fell asleep. Seeing the owner was Odahviing, she smiled sleepily at the dozing dragon. She carefully inched off the wing membranes back to the thick blanket of snow.
The movement caused Odahviing to stir. His eyes slid open, and quickly found Evry before he lifted his head causing a deep groan from his throat. He stretched the wings that had cradled the dragonborn before setting them back in the snow.
"Drem Yol Lok Dovahkiin." He rumbled out, gazing at the small human before him. Her reply was a simple smile and a return 'Drem Yol Lok'. He nodded then lifted his head to the sky and looked around the aurora filled night sky.
Evry looked towards the sky as well, "It's about time I return to my home." She said, head still turned up, facing the same direction as Odahviing's. Another cold breeze passed through her broken armor causing a violent shiver. One that didn't go unnoticed by the red dragon. "Dreh Dovahkiin Laan Ahmik?" He asked, dropping his head down a little lower than her level. Though she gave him a questioning look, not knowing much of the Dov language. Odahviing let out a deep, throaty sigh, "Krosis, I forget. Do you require my services, Dovahkiin?"
Understanding, and gratitude washed over the nord's face and she nodded, "Thank you, It's a long trip." She said, climbing onto his neck just behind his head. "My home is near Falkreath, by the lake." She directed. Odahviing would have nodded, but the dragonborn was mounted on his neck, and a nod would jar her.
Once the human was secure, Odahviing took off, hearing the happy gasp from her as the wind caught her hair. She shivered again quite violently when the rush of air caught her exposed skin. But that didn't stop her from enjoying the wonderful journey, and view. The land quickly changed from rocky and icy to more lush and green as Odahviing spiraled down to the small home, overlooking the sparkling lake.
The ground shook as Odahviing's massive body touched down sending the wildlife scattering. Odahviing took note of the location, and the modest human home, garden along the side with a few animals. Then the dragon dropped his head to the ground, allowing Evry to drop from his neck. "Should you my service." He said, picking his head back up to look down at her. "Shout. I will come if I can." He said before spreading his wings and jumping up, beating his wings down hard to gain altitude. Then flew, back to the throat of the world.
Bonaar means humble, but as the dov language doesn't have a word for thanks, or even gratitude, I substituted humble for that.
Alduin Lost Dii Zeymah - Alduin was mine brother
Sil - soul
Krosis - Apologies
Bormah - Father
Drem Yol Lok - Greetings (peace fire sky)
Dreh Dovahkiin Laan Ahmik - Does dragonborn want service?
Oh, and just in case no one caught it. I took something from How to Train Your Dragon.
