Chapter 7: Back in Time

Silver watched Skyrim pass by below him. It smiled, and continued to fly. Eventually the wyvern came to Dragonsreach. It landed and looked around.

"Alduin!" It roared. "I have come!"

A roar answered his own and Alduin made his appearance, growling. He growled and looked at Silver.

Silver growled back at Alduin. "I have come to kill you."

"And I, you," Alduin said.

The two wyverns growled at each other a few more seconds before attacking each other. Silver flew high in the air. It breathed fire at Alduin and shouted. Alduin started to counter the shout, but was cut off by his own cry of pain. He growled and leapt in the air, using his own shout at Silver. Silver moved back with a snarl on his face. That had hurt. It looked at him and attacked. Alduin's claws hit Silver in the side as Silver attacked him. Both wyverns were wounded. Silver fell to the ground, badly wounded. It used Dragonrend. Alduin screamed when the shout hit him. He fell to the ground in front of Silver. The wyvern growled and tried to move towards him but it was too wounded. The two wyverns fell into unciunciousness.

The two wyverns woke up a long while later and found themselves in a different time.

"Where are we?" Silver asked Alduin.

Alduin looked around. "Another time, though I'm not entirely sure which."

It nodded. "Can we get back?"

Alduin shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Well, let's find out when and where we are."

Alduin muttered before agreeing with Silver. They flew around, and Alduin recognized it. "We're in Cyrodill. It's the time of the Oblivion Crisis, thousands of years before the present time."

"What's the Oblivion Crisis?"

"It's where demons of Oblivion came to the mortal world. Akatosh made the Amulet of Akatosh to stop it."

"Do you know where the amulet is?"

Alduin nodded. "It's in Akatosh's temple. Why?"

"If we ended up here, we might as well use it." Alduin laughed and looked at Silver. "What? If it's in the middle of a crisis like that, we should help them."

"You fool. This is destined to happen. You can't stop it. Only the Avatar of Akatosh can," Alduin said.

"All right. Then where are they?"

"How should I know?"

Silver sighed. "What should we do now that we're in this time?"

Alduin shrugged. Silver stared at Alduin. "What do you think we can do?" Alduin asked.

"I don't know... There has to be a reason we ended up here. Come to think of it, why are we healed?"

Alduin looked at them in surprise. "I don't know."

Suddenly, Akatosh appeared. Silver bowed as soon as Akatosh was there, while Alduin simply looked at him.

"What are we doing here?" Silver asked the god.

"I've sent you back here for a reason."

"And what reason is that?"

Akatosh looked at them. "I want you to stop the crisis and have the events play out differently this time."

They nodded.

Akatosh looked at the two of them. "It would be more interesting if you weren't wyverns, though."

"What do you mean?" Silver asked.

"It would be interesting to see the two of you struggle bit with this."

Silver nodded. "So...do you know where the Avatar of Akatosh is?"

Akatosh smiled and turned into Shadic, the Amulet of Kings around his neck. "Right here."

"Shadic...? But how?"

Shadic smiled and shook his head. "I'm a god now, remember?"

"So, you're still Akatosh?"

Shadic nodded. "Yes. I think so." He closed his eyes as the Amulet glowed.

Alduin and Sliver watched him. "What are you doing?" Alduin asked him.

"Getting everything ready."

The two wyverns looked confused. "What do you mean?"

"This crisis needs to be fixed. I'm preparing everything for that."

Silver nodded. "Of course,. Are you going to become Akatosh again soon?"

"Yes."

The two nodded. Shadic focused on his magic. The glow from the Amulet brightened and he began to change. Akatosh soon stood in front of them again. He looked at them and nodded.

"What next?" Silver asked.

Akatosh looked at him. "I need to use my powers to prepare."

Silver nodded and looked at Alduin. "What should we do while he's doing that?"

Alduin shrugged. "What do you want to do?"

"Maybe we could look around?"

"Sure."

The two flew off to look around the area.
