Chapter 5: New trouble
Outskirts of Markath
The Dragonborn had told Odahviing to keep watch of the enemy but at a safe distance, he landed on a mountain near the one of the farms not too far from Markath. His scales seemed to have blended with his surrounding, he opened his jaws and gave a soft yawn 'This is uneventful. But I swore to follow whoever won the battle between Dovahkinn and Aldrin the World Eater', his thoughts wandered elsewhere but was disrupted by a loud cheering 'What's happening? I need to risk to take a closer look' he silently flew to the top of the mountain at the Understone Keep. A man in fully clad armour walked out of the Keep, the creatures, known as orcs, gathered at the presence of the man "Sauron! Sauron! Sauron!" the orcs chanted.
'So that is the dark lord of Mordor', four figures dressed in the dark cloaks and clad in armour, followed him from behind, but one out of the four of the figures stood out then the other three it wasn't because he bear a different armour or wore a helmet to cover his face than a shadow of a cloak.
The dark lord raised his right armoured hand to silence the orcs, he put down his hand, Odahviing couldn't have notice the golden ring on his index finger "My legions of orcs and Uruks, we will march to war at dusk when the moon is high", the orcs and Uruks cheered "Sharpened the weapon, mend the armour, thirst for blood to be spilled, war is upon us", the legion began making preparation. Odahviing couldn't look at this anymore he had to warn the others but then there was a loud clanking, like a metal hammer on the forge, it was clanking in a rhythmically pattern. Black and red things were marching from the keep and waited at the front gate of the city, Odahviing peered a bit closer, his eyes widen in horror.
'Are those Dwemmer?!' the once golden machines are now obsidian and fire 'This is bad, this is indeed very bad', he flapped his wings and soared to the sky, but he wasn't alone. There were two winged creatures behind him, he glanced back and saw that two of the dark cloaked figures were riding on the winged creatures. "What in Sithis are those?!" he said in dragon tongue. Odahviing made a bomb dive, the creatures following behind, before he reached the ground he made a sharp pull up. He looked back hoping they crashed but unfortunately they were still following, he led them to the Ghost Sea 'The Ocean should be foggy, at this time of the month…hopefully', they flew past Winterhold and flew under the collapsing bridge of the college, they head straight for the thick wall mist, Odahviing sped up and all the sudden halted.
He just hovered at mid-air, and started fading, the mist taking him along, the cloaked creatures gave a spin shrilling shriek, and flew around the fog blindly. One of them nearly crashed on to one of the jagged rocks at the shore, the other stopped and hopping to listen to any wing beat, but nothing until "YOLTORSHUR!" a blast of fire came from behind the creatures managed to most of it, but the rider was hit, his robes were indulged in flames. His robes were incinerated revealing the armour underneath, besides the robes the flame shout seemed to have no effect on him. 'I can't kill them, I need to go to the others' and with that the red dragon soared into the sky and headed straight to Skuldufun.
Skuldufun
"What?!" Nirvana said in shock and horror, Odahviing had explained everything to her about what he saw back Markath.
"Great", muttered Gimli.
"What's worse than Wraiths is Wraiths on wings", said Legolas.
Everyone, minus the guards, were murmuring at the top of the old ruins, four dragons, including Odahviing and Paarthurnax, were sitting on large columns. They were discussing on which strategy they should use to battle the orcs, Uruks, the new additional Fire Dwemmer, and the Ring Wraiths.
"We need to act fast now", said Ulfric.
"I agree with you Jarl, but we need come up with a strategy to counter an attack that big", said Balgruff.
Nazir walked shadow along, he whispered into Nirvana's ear, she nodded and he disappeared "I have a plan", she said.
"Really?" asked Lydia sceptically.
"Okay maybe part of a plan".
Lydia rolled her eyes "Why am I not surprised".
"Let us hear this 'part of a plan' of yours", said Aragorn.
"Okay, first we use they dragons to make a wall of mist surrounding the area around the mountains", Laila raised her hand "Yes Jarl Laila, what is your question?"
She put her hand down "I know the enemy wouldn't be able to see us but how will we see them?"
"If Odahviing's description is right the glow from the Dwemmers can be seen. Okay after that me and the Grey Beards will use aura whisper to identify where their located and send in a light attack using unrettling force. The half guards and whoever here is willing to fight will stand by the out skirts of the mountains, but they are not to attack until the mist is lifted", they mummers began again "The Dark Brotherhood and me will assassinate the side lines of the…"
"The Dark Brotherhood?!" screamed Idgord.
"Jarl Idgord please let me explain…"
"I have to agree with her, we can't trust them a mean for the love of Talos they murdered the Emperor", said Rolaf.
"Please just trust me, I promise this will be our first and last alliance with the assassins", she said "So me and the assassins will take out the side lines of the legion, the Thieves Guild will destroy the catapults with the help of Master Arngier and the others guiding them. So when the mist has dispersed with Meridia's blessing the guards will catch them off guard and hopefully we get an advantage from there", she said.
Ulfirc spoke "Isn't there a secret advantage that you will use in the end, Stormblade?"
"You know me well Jarl Ulfirc, yes if things get out of hand I will devised a weapon that may be able to fend off the enemy".
"But if this secret weapon of yours is as powerful as you say so why couldn't we use it now?" asked Farangier.
Nirvana sighed 'Damn this wizard is annoying, no wonder Odahviing wants to kill him', "Because I have my reasons, now I want you and the other mages to finish enchanting all the weapons and armour". The nosy wizard shuffled away "Ulfric, Aragorn and Balgruff, you two will prepare half of the soldiers for the battle. Legolas, Lydia and Gimli will train the other half, I and the black smiths will finish of the rest of the remaining armours", everyone nodded and left.
(Immortal song being played as the background song)
Imagine it like a trailer where they are forging weapons, practicing sword stances and awesome powers. Oh man I can imagine it now and it looks epic. Just imagine! :-( sorry just a little frustrated -_-
Hammers banged mending the metals on overheated metals. Placed in cool water, a small flame flickered to the top of the metal.
Swords clashed each other, the sound of metal clashing in the old ruins, bows drawn, and arrows flew in the air.
The sounds of the Thun'um thundered the mountain, armoured boots moved across the stone floor.
Flame Dwemmers marched across the land, orcs brought wagons filled with weapons. Night fell, horns blew, animals hunted and devoured.
A large creature on the mountains capes, of a flames and shadow waited. Three cloaked figures flew on winged creatures, weapons sharpened and teeth bared.
Sparks flew from camp fires, a figure looked where a mountain surrounded an ancient ruin and there is where laid his objectives.
A female figure looked at the growing darkness, a dragon companion stood next to her. She let out the sky shattering Thun'um with the dragon accompanying her.
The figure saw the powerful force thundering the sky, it was a warning but he knew that this was it. The final battle of dark and light…

I apologised for the bad writing up here, you can say that it's a work in progress. It would be great if you all could give some tips in the reviews, but I'm not forcing you or anything. ~ but consider it 0-0
