Last of Our Kind

by The-Freckled-Mouse

Both are seeking different things. Both are the last of their kind. Though, being the last doesn't necessarily mean that they have to be alone. One is trapped by duty and the other is controlled by fate, but in the end which will prevail? *Dawnguard Spoilers* - This is my first fanfic, I'm still learning :D It's a Dragonborn x Gelebor fic :)

6. An Old Threat Returned

Chapter 6: An Old Threat Returned

'Thalmor Dossier: Emelin Alden

Status: Active (Capture or Kill), High Priority, Emissary Level Approval.

Description: Female, Dunmer, early 20's.

Background: Dragonborn, Archmage to the College of Winterhold, a member of the Dawnguard, Thane to Whiterun, told to have had alliances with the Jarl of Whiterun, Greybeards and Blades. From rumours, we have been told that she is involved with the Telvanni Wizard and the Nord Tribe known as the 'Skaal' in Solstheim, though these have yet to be proven.
She has had recent dealings with the high priority targets known as the Blades, but from our contacts it seems that she has stopped all communication with them for unknown reasons. The Blades carried out countless damaging operations towards the Aldmeri Dominion and as such must be captured or eliminated.

Operational Notes: She is believed to be living in the Nord city known as Whiterun, but infiltration into the city has proved to be difficult. From our reports, it seems that she maintains regular contact with the Greybeards. It is assumed that she has severed all contact with the Blades, but she is still a high priority target and must be dealt with. It is speculated that she is a worshiper of the false God Talos. Her continued existence is an affront to us all. Any information on her activities or whereabouts should be immediately forwarded to the Third Emissary.'

I closed the book and read the letter I had been given along with it.

'Justiciar Erundil,

Be on the lookout for the Dunmer known as Emelin Alden. She is a threat to the Aldmeri Dominion and has actively disrupted our activities and caused great harm. Her last known locations are Whiterun, Winterhold and to the East of Skyrim, near Dragon Bridge. If spotted, you are to capture said person. Attempts previously have failed, and we have found that she has become harder to track. Her alliances have made it difficult for us to get to her, and that is why I am asking you to do this personally. Elimination must only be used as a last resort. If capture is possible, I am trusting you to do so.

Be advised, she is extremely dangerous and quite able to defend herself. If caught by local authorities, we are unable to offer you any assistance.

By my hand and seal,
~ Elenwen, First Emissary.'

"What are your orders, sir?" One of the guards cladded in the usual pristine gold-tinted armor asked.
"We have our target. We're heading to Whiterun." I commanded with a smirk, folding the parchment and placing it into my pocket.
"Yes sir."

So, I was tasked with capturing the menace known as the Dragonborn. My smirk intensified as I pondered on the thought. What a prize, and the fact that I would be the one to bring her to justice made it so much more delightful. I had studied her movements. It wouldn't be too difficult to track her down, and assuming the reports on her were correct, the capture would indefinitely end in my favour.

I led the guards down the road, plotting how I would capture the Dragonborn.
