Farkas looked up seeing that the sky was finally starting to clear, he couldn't help but wonder where Skjor and June went off to. He walked down the steps towards the Market Place and than turned towards Carlotta's stand. "Ah there you are I was wondering." She said reaching into her pouch. "Here you go and thanks for doing that I know it's really not the companions thing." She said handing him the payment for the job. "No problem." Farkas replied with a smile.
He took the coin purse and started to walk back up the steps but the scream of a child stopped him. He quickly turned around and before he could act his breath was taken away by what laid before his eyes. A giant grey dragon flying right over Whiterun. 'This can't be good.' He thought to himself as he watched the dragon.
The people that were in the streets all began to scream and panic which only drew the beast near them. The dragon blew a stream of fire right into Whiterun causing the streets to quickly catch fire, Farkas began to panic a little himself not really sure of what he should do. He never fought a dragon before, he had no idea how to take down such a beast.
The dragon landed on top of Belethors store and was drawn to a woman and a child. The dragon took a giant breath and just before it could blow the fire out Farkas quickly shoved the woman and child out of the line of fire, he just barely got out of it himself but the fire still caught his leg. Farkas cried out in pain quickly grabbing his leg, he looked at it seeing that it was badly burned. "Are you alright!" The woman asked him in a panic. "I'm fine get out of here!" He shouted at her.
She did what he said and quickly took the child running off, the dragon let out a loud roar and than took off in the sky circling above Whiterun looking for it's next victim. Farkas winced in pain as he struggled to get up off the ground, he looked up watching the dragon and than began to run trying to ignore the painful burn on his leg.
He quickly ran up the steps dodging panicking citizens in the street. 'Don't they see that their making it worse?!' He thought to himself as he watched everyone scream and run but what else could they do? He began to run past the giant tree and towards Jorrvaskr but the dragon flew right over him and very close to him causing him to get to the ground dodging its tail.
The dragons tail hit the Gildergreen tree making it fall right over as if it were just snapping a twig in half to the giant dragon. Farkas got up looking at the fallen tree and than up again at the dragon trying to make out it's next move. "Farkas!" He heard Aela shouting his name from behind. He quickly turned seeing that she and other companions were running down from Jorrvaskr and over to him. "You okay?!" Aela asked in a panic from what she just saw.
Farkas replied with a nod, he was to out of breath to say anything. "Than what are you doing ice brain!?" Aela yelled punching Farkas in the arm. Farkas winced in pain grabbing his arm, he looked at Aela confused. Aela opened her mouth to yell at him some more but she was quickly cut off by Kodlak. "There's no time for a lecture we need to focus on the dragon and the people!" Kodlak yelled as he ran down the stairs with Vilkas right behind him.
They all nodded and than ran off in the streets trying to help the guard. Farkas began to run off but Kodlak put his hand on his shoulder stopping him. "Farkas your leg." He said looking down at the burn. "It's fine." He replied quickly. "Just stay back here and help any way you can." Kodlak said giving him a small nod and than ran off. "I'll stay here with you." Vilkas said pulling out his great sword. "No don't I'll be fine." Farkas argued. "I'm not leaving you alone with an injury and a dragon attacking the city!" Vilkas argued back with a shout.
Farkas glared at him and opened his mouth to shout at him but he was cut off by the sudden shaking of the ground, he saw Vilkas's eyes widen and his jaw lower. Farkas slowly turned around seeing that the dragon had landed on the Temple of Kynareth causing the walls and ceiling to crack underneath it's giant feet.
Vilkas froze for a moment as he had a quick flash back from when he first incountered a dragon, but this one seemed bigger, much bigger. Vilkas quickly shook his head snapping himself out of it, this was no time for something like that. He quickly looked around seeing that the guards that were around were either dead or off evacuating the citizens up to Dragons Reach. "Seems it's just us.." He said slightly looking to Farkas. "Well than let's do it." Farkas replied getting out his great sword.
They both stood there for a brief moment trying to figure out how they were going to fight the beast like this. 'Should of grabbed my bow..' Vilkas regrettably thought to himself. He looked around seeing if there were any advantage points for them. "Look out!" Farkas yelled quickly shoving Vilkas out of the way and than jumped the opposite way as another stream of fire came from the dragon. "Farkas!" Vilkas yelled sitting up looking for him. "I'm fine!" He heard his brother yell.
Vilkas quickly got up from the ground and started to run towards his brother but the dragon quickly flew off the building and landed right in between them facing Farkas. The dragon swung its tail hitting Vilkas sending him flying back towards the fountain where the small shrine of Talos stood. Vilkas hit the back of his head on the fountain hard causing his vision to blur. 'I've gotta get up!' He thought to himself in a panic. He tried getting up but he just kept loosing his balance. He tried blinking his blurry vision away as he watched the dragon get closer to Farkas.
June and Skjor ran into Whiterun examining the damage and fire that was spreading. "There you are!" They heard Aela yelled relieved. She was standing in the street close to the shop The Drunken Huntsmen. "Skjor we need your help!" She yelled again. Skjor nodded and than quickly turned to June. "Do what you have to do." He said and than turned back around running off to Aela.
June watched them run off in the distance and than started to look around trying to see where the dragon was at. 'How hard is it to find a giant dragon...' She thought to herself as she began to run towards the Market Place but quickly stopped as she realized she had no weapon of any kind. She sighed aggravated as she paced back and forth quickly trying to figure out what she could do. "What am I to do?!" She shouted in anger as she began to panic. The screaming only made it worse she couldn't think.
But something caught her eye, she looked over towards Warmaidans seeing a dead guard lay on the ground. She saw his dead hand gripping a bow and some arrows were still on his back. 'What luck!' She thought to herself quickly running towards the corpse. She knelt down taking the bow and arrows, she began to search the sides of it looking for a sword and she did. "Sorry.." She quietly apologized to the corpse as she stood back up. She placed the arrows on her back and strapped the sword to her side. 'Alright now I'm good to go..' She thought to herself a bit hopeful.
She than sprinted towards the Market Place looking around quickly. "Farkas!" She heard a familiar voice yell. "That's Vilkas.." She said as she came to a stop, she looked to her left seeing the giant wings sticking up in the air over the buildings. As she laid eyes on the beast she felt the fire begin to build up inside her again, she could feel the thu'um rising in her throat. She clenched her jaw and quickly took off towards the beast.
Vilkas got up on his knees holding his head, he watched the dragon rise its giant head and breath in a bunch of air getting ready to attack again. "Dammit!" Vilkas yelled in frustration, his dizziness making it impossible for him to stand and finally causing him to just collapse over unconscious. Farkas clutched his sword tightly as he prepared for the next attack trying to plan what he was going to do. 'This is not good..' He thought to himself clenching his jaw, he could barely move because of his leg so running was not an option.
He just had to fight or go down trying. "FUS RO DAH!" A loud thu'um came flying from behind him blowing him over and hitting the dragon causing it to stagger. The dragon roared in pain as it felt like tons weight had just been thrown upon it. It shook its head and than looked seeing June standing in the distance. It roared at her in anger. "Ah, shut up." She said quickly pulling an arrow back shooting it at the dragon.
The arrow flew through the air and hit the dragon straight in the eye, the dragon roared in pain shaking its had violently trying to get the arrow to fall out but it was stuck. She kept shooting arrows at it, some bounced off its scaly skin but most stuck right into it. June shot out the last arrow she had hitting it straight in the other eye.
The dragon roared in even more pain and began to blow a stream of fire in every direction, Farkas had to crawl out of the way to keep from getting burned alive. "LIZ SLEN NUS!" June shouted an Ice Form shout at the dragon. The shout caused the ground to freeze immediately and as it hit the dragon ice formed over its head and half its body causing it to be still for just a moment.
In that moment June grabbed the sword she had and pulled it back in the bow quickly shooting it out at the dragon. The sword flew through the air and than went right into the dragon's skull finally killing it. June sighed in relief dropping the bow and empty arrow bag onto the ground.
She looked over seeing Vilkas knocked out on the ground, she blinked thinking she saw something like this before. 'Wait..' She thought to herself as the memory came back to her. 'I remember..' She thought to herself as she kept her eyes on Vilkas, she remembered that day. It was him and another companion that were attacked by that dragon, she didn't realize it before because she only looked at him slightly than. The sound of the wind picking up from the dragon snapped her out of it, she looked to the dragon seeing its skin begin to disappear and its soul start to draw near her.
She stood taking a deep breath and closing her eyes feeling her body absorb the dragon's soul. The feeling always took her breath away, she could feel the power and hear the words of the soul telling her the name of the dragon she had slain. She exhaled deeply slowly opening her eyes as she looked up at the sky. Farkas looked at her amazed by what he has just seen, he looked to the dragon seeing it was nothing but a bunch of bones now.
He groaned in pain as he slowly got up from the ground, not only did his leg hurt but now his back hurt from getting hit by that shout of hers. June quickly looked at him hearing his groan. "You okay?" She asked walking over helping him up. "Yeah, but you could've tried not hitting me with your shout.." He said slightly looking at her. "Well you could've tried not being in the way." She replied with a small smile.
Farkas returned her smile and than looked around for Vilkas. "Vilkas!" He yelled seeing his brother knocked out on the ground. Farkas and June both ran over to him and knelt down on the ground next to him. "I think he's bleeding." Farkas said seeing his hair was damp on the back of his head. "I saw him hit his head pretty hard." He said slightly touching the wet spot and looking at his fingers. "We need to get him some help and fast." June said seeing the blood on Farkas's fingers.
They both turned their heads hearing footsteps running towards them. "By the gods!" Aela shouted seeing the giant boney dragon corpse. "You actually did it.." Skjor said a bit amazed as they all approached the corpse examining it. "Did you doubt me?" She asked him raising an eyebrow. "Yeah." Skjor quickly answered her in a stern voice. "This changed nothing though you know!" He said looking at her.
Kodlak raised a hand to Skjor to shut him up and than quickly ran towards Vilkas. "Is he okay?" He asked examining him closely. "We don't know, but he's bleeding pretty bad." Farkas answered him in a panicked voice. "Skjor come help me get Vilkas and Farkas to Jorrvaskr, the rest of you go see if anyone needs help that includes you June go with Aela." He said nodding to June.
She sighed but did what he said and got up from the ground, she took one last look at Vilkas and than ran towards Aela. 'Am I actually worrying about that fool?' She thought to herself not sure of what to make of this feeling she was getting.
