Chapter 4: Awakening the World Eater
Silver and Silvond looked around as they made their way to Sovangarde. The two wyverns saw a portal and flew inside. Both looked around the realm of the dead. The portal closed behind them.
"What now?" Silvond asked.
"Now we find Alduin." The wyvern nodded. It looked around. "Do you have any idea where he might be?" Silver asked. Silvond shook its head. Silver sighed. "Let's split up and look then."
The other wyvern nodded. It flew in one direction as Silver flew in the other. They both looked, but weren't sure where to look for the dragon. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard and Alduin appeared. He had already been awakened. Silver growled and flew back to try and find Silvond.
"Silvond!" He yelled, trying to find the wyvern. "Alduin is awake! That dammed wyvern is awake!"
"Awake?" Silvond's shout echoed over the place and met him.
"Yes, awake!"
Silver nearly slammed into Silvond at the speeds they were flying to each other.
"Watch out!" The silver wyvern growled. It looked at Silvond, who growled back. "Alduin isn't here anymore. We must return to Skyrim."
Silver nodded and they returned to Skyrim. The two wyverns flew back to the temple and saw that Shadic was sleeping. Silver smiled and looked at Silvond.
"We should wait until he wakes up."
Silvond nodded and they did so. Shadic yawned when he woke and looked over at them. He growled in pain and finished transforming into Akatosh.
"Did you succeed?" he asked.
They bowed. "We failed. Alduin is in Skyrim."
Akatosh sighed. "There's only one thing we can do now. You must find the Dragonborn." They nodded and left. Akatosh sighed and flew with them. "How are you going to find them?"
"What do you suggest we do?" Silver asked the god.
"Change back and ask around Skyrim."
"We can't change. You made our wyvern forms permanent, remember?"
"Right. That might make things a little harder."
Silver and Silvond nodded. "In any case, we can't let Alduin destroy the world."
"I agree," Akatosh said.
"Do you know what any of his plans are?" Silver asked.
"His only plan is to destroy the world."
"How is he going to do it?"
"He's known as the World Eater for a reason," Akatosh said.
Silver looked over at Silvond. "We need to stop him," Silver told Silvond.
Silvond nodded in agreement. The three wyverns continued to fly.
"Where should we go?" Silver asked them.
"We must go to the Throat of the World," Akatosh said. "There's a dragon there that can help us."
The others nodded and they left. It was a long flight to their destination. Mountains were covered in snow as they neared it. Silver looked down at it, spotting both animals and people running around.
"I'm hungry," he said. "Why don't we catch some prey."
"We can do that. What do you want?" Akatosh looked down as he spoke.
"Those animals down there."
Akatosh nodded and dove; as did Silvond and Silver. The animals didn't realize they were in danger until the dragons landed near them. The three wyverns growled as they killed the animals and ate hungrily. When they were finished, they looked at one another.
"That was a good meal," Silvond said.
They agreed with him, and the three wyverns flew on.
