DISCLAIMER: I don't own Skyrim, sadly. If I did I'd be a very happy gamer-girl. But I'll tell you what I do own? This plot and any OC characters named!

So, turns out that the assignment was easy and my muse came back to life overnight. :)
Also, any Draconic words in this will shown in english down the bottom on the page.

Enjoy!

Chapter 10: Paazsuvith.

She dreamt of ice cold winds. But the cold did not affect her, for there was flame in her belly waiting to be called with a simple word. Her wings were spread out on either side on her body as she flew over what the joor had dubbed Skyrim. She let out a screech that was echoed by The World Eater's favourite, Odahviing.

Paazsuvith twisted in the sky, and called once more. "Zin wah Alduin!"

She heard Odahviing snort, and he swooped playfully at her head. "Aan mey do, Paazsuvith." He told her, and her ice eyes flashed at his words.

"Rek'ii los mey." She responded huskily, and buffeted him with her gold wings. The Red Dragon grinned at her haughty words.

Kiran woke up with a start. Bjorn was still sound asleep next to her, but the ice wolf pup had been woken up by her erratic breathing. She sat up slowly, so as to not wake her partner and got to her feet before pulling on clothes and departing the tent.

It was still dark out, but the moons lit up the night as they always had. The waterfall and resulting pond shone with an otherworldly sheen to them, and Kiran could not help but stare.

Something cold shoved itself into the palm of her hand and Kiran jerked her arm away quickly. "What?" She asked herself, but then saw that it was only her little pup. Kiran felt a smile tug at her lips and she knelt before the pup. "What should I name you, I wonder?" She said quietly to him. " Stupid? Patches? Winter?" She tucked the wolf pup under the jaw. "Koor…" The word came out of her mouth without her consent, and she hadn't the slightest idea what it meant. "Koor…" Kiran repeated.

I wonder, is it a Dragon word? A... A Word of Power, like those in the stories?

"I shall name you Koor." She told the pup. Koor simply panted and cocked his head to the side, seemingly unconcerned at the change of events. Kiran rolled her eyes. "Glad to see you found no mishaps with it."

Kiran started for a walk, and her newly named companion followed faithfully on her heels. The dream that she'd dreamt had been the strangest, but the most familiar. Even the dreams she had about her family weren't as real as this one had been.

She sat down at the lake's edge and let her feet touch the ice cold water. "I just might have been a dragon in another life." She muttered softly, her fingers absently playing with the white fur of Koor's hide, and her feet kicking at the water.

Kiran recalled now, a song that her father would sing to lull her to sleep as a babe, and the tune came to her lips. She remembered that when she was little, her father had been her world and her mother was there only to feed and bathe her. The feel on being lifted into the air by rough hands that were gentle at the same time. And not for the first time since she had run from her fate, she missed him.

She missed her mother too, she missed the cook's boy who always practiced swords with her, and she even missed her lousy sister Alayah.

"Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior's heart..." She murmured into the night, and thought on just how accurate those words were for her namesake.

Reviews would be awesome, and make me happy!

D.P~ Translation: "Honor to Alduin!"

"A fool's words, Paazsuvith."

"I am no fool."

"Summer..."
