Chapter 6: Eve before war
Skyrim
Skuldufun
All the guards, Stormcloaks, and Imperials were dressed in dragon scale armour with health enchantment and stamina enchantment. They were equipped with Daedric weapons, with fire and health absorption enchantments. They all were looking at their new armour with admiration and they no longer seemed to entirely hate each other.
'Maybe this alliance might be a reminder to the future generations, maybe this will end this futile feud and peace will brought to this land' she looked at the blacksmiths "I have arranged a two dragons to take you all over the borders of Skyrim. You have done a great service to your land but those of you who want to stay and fight I won't stop you, but don't risk your lives".
Adriana and a few others packed their things and mounted the dragons, rest stayed behind. An orc whose couldn't be remembered step up "You had done a great service by saving our lives, the least we can do is help you fend of this foe", the other blacksmiths nodded in agreement.
She smiled "Thank you, but maybe you all will help supply weapons for the soldiers. And if the enemy mange to get over the mountain walls, I want you'll to shoot them from the top of the ruins, okay?"
"Yes Dragonborn", they said and left.
Aragorn walked up behind her "You are a natural born leader, do you have any relatives that my kind might be familiar?"
"No. Most of them are dead my kind might be extinct if it wasn't for me, it was my fault", she gloomily.
"So you are like me, we both have lost many things. We're both survivors".
"You are nothing like me, nobody is, no one can understand how I feel", she was crying "How I suffered, all those millions of years, living alone, lost in the dark with no hope".
"Then if there is no hope why do you fight?"
"Because it's my fault!" she walked away without another word spoken.
Paarthurnax, Odahviing, and a couple of other dragons were talking at the top of the ruin they sky grew darker with every hour passing by they spoke in hushed voices.
"Odahviing what can you tell us about the enemies winged creature?" asked Poartrax in dragon tongue.
"They are no bigger than as, their skin is more like a snake then a dragon", the red dragon replied in the same tongue.
"They do not sound as difficult as taught they were".
Odahviing shook his head "It's not the winged creatures I'm worried about, it's their riders".
"What is a miss about their riders that we should worry?"
"They can't be killed", shocked voices were filling the silent gaps between sentences "They could even protect their winged creatures using some sort of dark magic".
A silver Frost Dragon spoke "How do you suggest we kill something that is practically immortal?"
"We don't but what we can do is knock the riders off with our shouts, and probably we could kill the winged creatures and prevent them from using their main transportation to fly".
An elder dragon looked confused "What do you mean by main transportation, are saying that there is more than those things for the enemy to flew over the mountain?"
Paarthurnax nodded "We had received word from the Dovahkinn that a monster of flames and shadows could fly, and possibly destroy part of the mountain big enough for one army to enter at a time".
"Why are we even bother to help the mortals?!" cried a dragon.
Exactly! Alduin is gone we are free, these mortals had done nothing for us".
"Especially the Dovahkinn!"
"Done nothing you say…" said Odahviing "We owe her our lives for freeing us from the internal burden of Alduin! We should be thanking her for what she has done", his voice softened.
"It's alright", said female's voice, they all saw the Dovahkinn standing at entrance of the temple "I don't want to force any of you to risk your lives for someone else. But know this, if the enemy wins everything will be in darkness Nords, Imperials, Bretons, everything including dragons will never be free, all of you will be killed or even sentenced to something worse than death. So those who want to fight for freedom you are welcome to stay, those who quitting you must leave before you get caught in the battle", Nirvana said.
Most of the dragons left, only two frost dragon, three elder dragons, Paarthurnax and Odahviing stayed. She smiled and Odahviing couldn't help but smile as well, even though there were few of them left they might stand a chance against the enemy.
Sauron stood on the Balrog as it flew in the sky, although it was made of flames for some reason it did not hurt the dark lord of Mordor. He wondered what would happen if his master were to do than Sauron, his master Morgoth had always been a careful man when it comes to fighting battles like these. But Morgoth/ Melkor may be powerful but Sauron had exceeded his master's limitation that even the former dark lord couldn't never do.
The Witch King flew next to him, keeping watch of anything peculiar then one of the Naz'gul flew by the Witch King's side. He whispered something in his ear and left "My lord the Wraiths have picked up a trail that leads to that mountain. It seems everyone in this land are gathered there", he said in black speech.
Sauron looked at the mass mountain at the distance "So it seems, how long it will take to reach the mountain?" he asked in the same tongue.
"One more day my lord".
"Very well, tell Saruman to get the legions ready. Arm the catapults, sharpen the swords, mend the armours war is upon us", he said darkly the Witch King bowed, and dove down. 'Prepare Skyrim, prepare for a new age of darkness. A new king will rule you all', he gave a maniacal laugh, and the sky rumbled red.
Sorry if this chapter is short, I'm running out of ideas. ;-;. The war scene is coming after this so hope you like it and don't forget to review. x Nyan!
