Chapter 3: A Hunger To Swallow The World
John sat atop the recently finished Air Temple's roof. He scanned over the unusual city and couldn't help but notice how much different it was from Skyrim.
The people here were shameful and had little to no pride. They cared nothing for swords and such, but at the same time he felt that if they needed to they could become warriors. Maybe not as strong as the warriors in Skyrim but still, very strong.
"Pretty nice view up their huh?" a voice asked him from below. John slung his head over the edge so he could see the person talking to him.
"When I was new in town I sat up their and looked over the city as well." said korra. John watched as Korra gracefully jumped from the ground to the roof. She walked over to him and sat down gracefuly.
John looked over the gleaming city, "What is all of the stuff out their? When I arrived I thought it was candles in boxes and dismissed it, but now I can see they aren't.."
Korra had a surprised expression on her face. "You don't have those where you come from?"
"No, we also don't have those strange metal boxes that are on the streets."
Korra's shocked expression got even bigger as she realized they didn't even have cars, "Really! What do you use to travel in then?"
John had a confused look on his face, "Wait, you use the metal boxes as transports?"
Korra mentally slapped herself for not telling him what cars are. "Yes, we call them cars, and as much as I'd like to talk to you more, I can't. Tenzin has made the rules VERY clear not to be late for supper. Can you tell me more when we go eat?"
Johns stomach rumbled in response. "About time their was some food in this joint! I was starving!"
Korra let out a small laugh and then her and John made their way into the kitchen.

John and Korra walked into the kitchen and saw that everyone else was already there. Tenzin, Pema, and baby Roland sat at the far end of the table while the airbabies and Bolin sat sat on the left side. Mako and Asami sat on the right side of the table with two extra seats for Korra and John.
John and Korra took their seats next to Mako and Asami. Korra was about to say something to John but was cut of as Tenzin cleared his throat, silencing the room. "Dovahkiin, you may not know what we do before we eat, so let me tell you. We all bow our heads and pray to the spirits for a moment. Once that is over we start eating. Understand?"
John shook his head no, "Sir, you may worship the spirits here, but where I come from we worship the divines." He left the part about the Daedric lords out on purpose.
Various faces around the room were made until Tenzin spoke up, "Very well then. As a VERY special guest we will allow you to pray to your "divines"."
John shook his head gratefully and bowed his head. "Talos, give me the strength and knowledge to withstand the power of Alduin once again. For I may be in a different world but I will not slack because of it. Guide my quest as it becomes hard. Tell me what I need to do to help these people. Talos guide them."
He raised his head and shorty after the others did as well.
Everyone but John started to eat what was on their plates and their was not a voice in the room until Ikki spoke, "Why do they call you Dovahkiin?"
John almost opened his mouth to speak but Pema cut him off. "I'm so sorry sir. Ikki what if he doesn't want to talk?"
A smile played on Johns lips as he spoke up, "No it's alright ma'am. They call me Dovahkiin because it means Dragonborn in English."
"What does Dragonborn mean?" Ikki said firing out another question.
John looked down at his untouched plate and replied, "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you right now. Maybe later."
Ikki looked disappointed at the answer but continued to eat.
"Why aren't you eating?" Tenzin piped up.
John sighed, "I'll eat when I get to the room you've lent me. To eat I would need to remove my helmet. Almost no one has seen me without my helmet and I would like to keep it that way if you don't mind."
Tenzin shook his head, "Very well. It would be wise if you ate though. Would you like one of the guards to take you to your room?" John shook his head in response.
"Avoin would you please lead the Dovahkiin to his room?"
The guard left his position and walked over to John. "Yes, master Tenzin!"
John followed the guard down a series of hallways until he reached a small room with a simple bed and dresser.
"Welcome to your new room Master...Uh.."
"If you are going to call me master call me Master-117."
"Yes sir Master-117. I will inform the rest of the guard of your new title." the guard started to walk away but stopped dead in his tracks. "Master-117, if you don't mind me asking...Why 117?"
Even with the helmet on the guard could see him smirk, "Because, that's the number of thanes I have killed."
The guard started to ask what a thane was but decided against it when John gave him a death stare.
John turned around and entered his room. He sat his plate of food on the table and laid down on the bed instantly going into a light sleep.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
John woke with a start as his stomach started to rumble again. He glanced at the plate of food and threw it out the window in disgust. He wanted some real food. Some food that couldn't be served on a plate. He looked outside and thanked Talos that it was still night time.
He jumped out the window and headed down to the docks where a United Forces ship was refueling. He took this opportunity and jumped aboard the ship.
There weren't many crew member aboard the ship. In fact, the ones that were on the ship looked mad to still be there. John discarded the irritated looks they all had and quietly kept looking for his next victims.
After about 5 minutes of prowling he found 3 men far away from any other men. He took the opportunity and jumped in between the three.
The 3 men jumped back in shock but started to take action against the "threat" they saw by making small balls of fire in their palms.
"Now now, no need for that." John said as he pulled off his helmet.
The men stared in awe at his face for a moment until the middle one spoke up, "What ARE you!"
John looked square at the middle man, "Good question." John jumped towards the man with incredible speed and sank his teeth into his neck. "I'm your worst nightmare." the mans body fell to the ground and the other two men started to run away. The man on the right slipped on a puddle of water and faced the same fate as his crew mate. The last man ran inside a hallway in an attempt to loose John.
John only shook his head at the mans petty attempts to escape. He ran down the hallway at lightning speeds and tackled the man. The man shot a blast of fire at John but missed terribly hitting the ceiling. John sunk his razor sharp teeth into the mans neck and not to soon after that he felt the mans body go limp.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
John laid back in his bed ashamed of what he had to do. He had become a vampire when he was bitten at night. Instead of killing him it gave him vampire powers. He tried everything he could do to get rid of it but it never worked. Every other week he had to feed or die. He had no choice.
When he got hungry he felt like he could eat anything. It made him wonder if that's how Alduin felt. He tried to picture Alduin so hungry that he just ate the planet. It made him laugh a little bit, but he was still depressed from his feeding.
He made a sigh of relief when he saw the sun come up and welcome him to a new day.
