Here's chapter 4. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy :)

Disclaimer: I don't own skyrim, blah blah blah.

It's been two days since we left the camp. My battalion and I encountered a couple of packs of wolves, one troll, which didn't take anytime to take care of because of our numbers, and a small bandit raid. The bandits quickly realized the disadvantage and started to retreat, but we pulled out our arrows and shot at them. They were going to ambush anyone else after that
Anyways, here we are around many campfires and tents just northwest of Fort Sungard. We plan to attack the fort tomorrow at dawn. Linda better be back before then or we're cooked.

I wonder how she's doing.. It's been a couple days and I already miss her. I wonder if she misses me? The thought of it makes my stomach turn. Linda, I want you. I need you.. You are my one and only.

Just then, I heard mighty wings flapping to our north. It had to be more than one dragon. Damn it!

"Get ready troops!" I yelled at everyone, the soldiers got their weapons and bows out.

Why aren't they roaring like they usually do? Oh wait.. No! Can't be! It's Odahviing, and sure enough, there was Linda! Gods, what else could I expect? The other dragons were not as massive as Odahviing, maybe his allies?

"Odahviing! Linda!" I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Odahviing and the other two dragons landed just inches away from me.

"Drem yol lok Ralof. Be silent, I don't want that fort to know that there are dovas over here. The last thing we need is that send a messanger for rienforcements." He exhaled which felt like a gust. His breath reiked of something burning."Well, these dovas volunteered to assist us in the battle. They, like me, questioned Alduin's lordship and turned against him shortly after I left Dragonsreach. Shall I introduce them?" I nodded and he pointed his head to his left to a dragon that had the largest teeth I've ever seen, he was a dark bluish color dragon with very large claws on its feet. "This is KRILLOKSIL," the dragon bowed his head and looked at me with his bright red eyes. I nodded back to him. Odahviing turned his head to the other side towards a smaller dragon that wasn't proportionate to the other dragons I've seen. It's color was gold and white. The dragon's eyes seemed softer and had a baby bluish color. The scales I noticed were a little smoother. "She is BRITSOTZII." The dragon bowed 'her' head. Dragons had genders? Well they got to reproduce somehow.

"It's an honor to have you mighty drag.. er.. Dovas with us today." I wanted to look a little formal in front of them. They both bowed their heads again.

"These Dovas are actually pretty swell behemoths," Linda remarked as she climbed off of The Crimson Hunter. I looked at her with absolute delight. She quickly came up to me and hugged me.

"How are you Linda?" My expression kept on shifting to happiness and seriousness. Happy to see her but at the same time concerned what happened with Hadvar.

"Never better Ralof. Oh, by the way if you were wondering, Hadvar is fine." It's almost as if she was reading my mind.. "I told Alvor what happened. He was a little pissed at me but in the end he was quite thankful that we spared Hadvar's life. And I made sure he would be watched by the guards to make sure he wouldn't leave for Solitude." She had the whole thing planned. Damn, she was quite the woman.

"Wow Linda, you're always looking ahead."

"Always." She winked at me. "Alright my Dovas, here's the plan..." she told the dragons to take out as many imperial guards as they could without taking much damage. The dragons nodded their heads in acceptance and eased down a little bit into a comforting position. Krilloksil's breathing was already lessening. It took him nearly a minute to fall asleep? Damn.

Odahviing looked at me then at Krilloksil. "Do not worry Ralof, he's a quick sleeper. He use to have a lot of trouble sleeping while he served Alduin. After he defected, his problems with sleeping diminished."

I cocked on eyebrow and crossed my arms. "Why is that?"

Odahviing raised his head up and lowered it back down. "It seems that his conscience is clear now. Alduin never really cared for us. He only raised us from the dead for his own benefit. Krilloksil did do Alduin's biddings, but when he truly found out what Alduin's been planning, he became so uneasy, especially around Alduin. He avoided Alduin as best he could. I believe his conscience was flawed under the evil influence of Alduin. So, after Krilloksil defected, his personality become much more enlightened. And as a result, his conscience became clear. He is a dova with complete moral standards. I'm honored to call him my friend."

"That's remarkable. I must admit Odahviing. Before I met you, I viewed the dragons as a mindless killing monster. You have taught me so much about your kin. Thank you for correcting my understanding of your kin." Odahviing nodded and lowered his head into a resting position.

"Your welcome. You, Ralof, also taught me more about humanity. You are joor, which I envy in a strange way. Living forever has its down side. Be happy for what you are Ralof." Odahviing closed his eyes.

"I am. Sleep well, dragon." His scalely lips curved up. I started walking to my tent but stopped, I heard a voice from behind me.

"Ralof." I turned to Linda and she started tugging on my armor. My initial reaction was to smile brightly. She smiled back nervously.

"Yeah?"

"Come on over here." We went a little out into the wilderness and sat on a log. There was an awkward silence. I looked up at her.

"I'm so happy you are back Linda. I thought a lot about you while you were gone." She looked up at me and smiled shyly. Her eyes gleaming in the aura from the night sky. So beautiful.. She lowered her head. Her breathing was beginning to shake, but not excessively.

"R-really? I-I," She looked like she was in a loss for words or she was too scared to say something," I really missed you too Ralof. You are a good man." By the nine, I started shaking in my boots. I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. I lowered my head.

"Ralof?" Her expression was serious. I picked up my head.

"What," She inhaled and grabbed ahold of my hand," did you say.. that night when we came back to the camp in the Reach?" She's got me cornered. My head felt like it was spinning and I started panicking a little. I clenched her hand and looked up at the night sky.

"I said," I took a deep breathe, closed my eyes, and exhaled. It was time to confess," that you.. are.."

She clenched my hand and placed her other hand on it. "Are what?!" I looked back her pressing my lips together. Her emerald eyes were looking right into my very soul.

I had to flat out say my feelings. I moved my other hand to her cheek. "Linda, you are the most... beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life." My heart was racing incredibly fast. I moved my hand away from her her face and lowered my head.

"Ralof.." I could hear her voice get shaky," can you come closer and say that?" I picked my head back up. She started to move her face toward mine. I hesitated and looked around restlessly.

I lifted my confidence and moved my face right next to hers and whispered, "..you are the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my entire life.."She exhaled shakily right after I said "beautiful woman". She rested her head on my shoulder and she wrapped her hands around me. I returned the favor. Her shaky breathing quickly turned into sobs.

"R-Ralof.. Do you really mean it?" She picked up her head. Her lips were pinched together and her eyes were red-rimmed, tears were forming in her eyes.

"Yes, Linda. I've wanted to say that since I first saw you at Helgen. You-"

She cut me off and she kissed me. It all happened so fast that my mind wasn't registering reality. My expression was beyond dumbfounded. She moved in for another kiss and our lips met. I closed my eyes and moved closer, wrapping my arms around her. She placed her hands on my cheeks. She pressed into the kiss and we both fell to the ground, she landed on top of my chest. The kiss never broke. It was absolutely the best thing that happened in my life. Suddenly she broke the kiss and she laid on my chest, she was nearly hyperventilating. I closed my eyes and bliss filled my head.
Time passed after the moment. I didn't feel her on top of me. I opened my eyes and she was gone.

How long was I asleep? It was still night so it couldn't have been long. I got up, my legs feeling like jelly, I stumbled back to the camp.

I got back and saw that her tent was completely closed. I didn't want to awake her from her slumber so I went back into my personal tent. I took of my cuirass and got into my bedroll. "Thank you Lady Mara.." With that, I fell asleep.

It was morning already. I quickly equipped my cuirass and walked outside. Everyone was ready to fight. The three dragons were resting on the ground talking in their tongue. Then Linda came out of her tent. As soon as she saw me, she walked up to me and hugged me. No words. She looked at me with those beautiful emerald eyes..

She turned around and picked up her Dawnbreaker. She sheathed it and looked back at me. "Are you ready?"

I picked my ebony battle axe and sheathed it behind my back. "Yes ma'am." She smirked. "Alright sons and daughters of Skyrim, lets go take over Fort Sungard!" I raised my arm and howled.

The soldiers all cheered and the three dragons opened their wings and roared. Linda climbed on top of Odahviing and mouthed a 'Be careful' to me. I smiled and nodded. She smiled and Odahviing lifted off the ground and flew around us. The other two dragons lifted off right after him.

"ALRIGHT RALOF, LEAD THE WAY!" Odahviing roared down.

"Alright! Let's go!" Everyone formed up behind me and we were off toward the fort.

We set siege of the fort. The dragons were circling the fort. The imperials were so confused that the three dragons were circling them and not us. They kept on shooting arrows at them but they never got close. It was our time to begin the attack.

"Charge!" I howled. We were charging at the gate. Arrows started landing all around us. "Archers! Return fire! Cover our backs!" Seven Stormcloaks raised their bows and released bows back to the imperials.

Odahviing flew closer to the ground and roared, "FEEL THE WRATH OF MY THU'UM! YOL.. TOOR.. SHUL!" Odahviing exhaled a huge wave of fire out of his mouth at the imperials. They were all down within seconds after impact, all being burned alive.

Krilloksil flew down on top of one of the watch towers and bit down on the sentry on top. He violently shook the imperial around and released him in free fall. He then looked down the imperials and opened his mouth. "KIIST!" All the imperials in his line of sight were frozen in blocks of ice.

Britsotzii kept on keeping her distance away from the arrows, but when the opportunity made itself known, she would swoop down and grab imperials.

"Bring me down Odahviing!" The Crimsen Hunter got close to the ground and Linda jumped off and did a cartwheel off of him and unsheathed her Dawnbreaker. She took down three soldiers in the process. She started fighting on the high ground taking out the archers.

We got through the gate and we brought down every imperial in our path. My ebony battle axe was overkill compared to their petty imperial swords. My swings brought them down easily, one by one.

I saw Linda surrounded by six imperials. She opened her mouth,"Fus.. Ro.. Da!" Four of the imperials were blown away. Two of them fell off the edge of the fort down to the ground and met their death. Linda twirled around and sliced two of the imperials in one blow. She turned around and stabbed both of the imperials swiftly before they could regain their balance. She looked around and saw that every imperial around her was dead. She picked up a bow and started shooting bows into the group.

The other two dragons kept on swooping down and grabbing imperials from the sky. Then they let go of them mid flight. The battle was completely to our advantage, without any doubt.

The commander of the fort came out with two swords and three soldiers. Odahviing dropped down but down on him and launched him the air. The other imperials dropped their weapons and rushed toward the gate. They were stopped in their tracks when the Stormcloak soldiers took them in captivity.

The battle was over in roughly ten minutes. Our casualties were two wounded soldiers. Their casualties were roughly eighty dead and three captured.

The dragons landed on the structures and took a rest. The other Stormcloak soldiers started with the clean up duty. Linda came up to me and hugged me.

"That was not a fight, that was a massacre. They had no chance." Her expression was mixed with remorse and guilt.

"I know. But with the help of these dragons, we could take back our home in less than a month."

Her expression was in complete thought and then shifted to determination. "Then let's use this momentum to take back our home." She smiled and gave me a kiss on cheek.

"DOVAHKIIN, RALOF, WE WOULD BE HONORED TO HELP YOUR CAUSE!" Odahviing roared. The other two dragons bowed their heads.

"Thanks Odahviing, Krilloksil, and Britsolzii. It's on honor having you three on our side."

"IF YOU EVER NEED ME, CALL ME." With that, the three dragons lifted off into the sky and started flying toward the Throat of the World.

"Alright, let's go to Ulfric and tell him the news," I said to Linda. She nodded and we left the fort for Windhelm. There was much to tell and plan. The war shifted in our favor. The imperials had no chance. We will take back our home and we will worship Talos when we please.

There you have it, chapter 4. Thanks for reading. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! I want your opinion about the other dragons. Also, please give me ideas for chapter 5. Thanks :D
