Tales of the Dark One's: Chapter 5
All eyes are on me; I guess I wasn't expected by anyone here.
"Ah, my sweet daughter has returned after oh so long and how about my elder scroll." Harkon's voice was calm showing no emotion to me and I had a hope he still loved me alas that will not happen. At the mention of an elder scroll Kiaramon raised his eyebrows.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you it in my knapsack." I whispered.
"How in oblivion do you forget about a bloody elder scroll and how do you fit it in you purse." He whispered back.
"Its enchanted so that it can carry endless amounts of things but it still weighs it usual weight so I can't carry an infinite amount of things." I replied.
"Sweet Serana if you have something to say to your friend you can tell all of us right?" Interrupted Harkon
"Father excuse me but he is more than a friend, he is my savior who has cared for me more than you in our reunion." I shot back.
"Well if he is all that we are due an introduction to him come here daughter where I can get a good look at you."
I chose to take the stairs down to the main hall but it seemed the "legendary Daywalker" had to front flip off the balcony and give a bow to my father.
"Kiaramon Shadowskull you may have heard of me I am the renown Daywalker good to meet you." He said mockingly. Well he certainly was powerful as my father did not leap on him for mocking him and gasps and whispers rang through the hall.
"Well well, the Daywalker comes to my hall and expects me to give my hospitality to the great vampire slayer!" Exclaimed Harkon
"I kill Dawnguard too and I safely returned your lovely daughter."
"No he could be conspiring and Serana could be with him she could be married to the Daywalker for all we know." Cried Vingalmo, a less loving brother of mine.
"The Daywalker wishes I was his wife but only in his wildest dreams." I said winking at him as a result he laughed and winked back.
"See the subtle signs between them how can they be trusted." Shouted Vingalmo who then leapt out of his seat with a dagger in his hand ready to strike Kiaramon. Kiaramon just held up is hand froze Vingalmo in mid air and a wave of terror flashed across his face.
"Don't shit yourself I won't hurt you, yet." Kiaramon said.
Whispers ran through the hall as Vingalmo fell and returned to his seat (also snickering but far from Vingalmo's ears).
"ENOUGH, I should now reward the only reward I can give the power of the VAMPIRE LORD!" As he shouted his body transformed with black veins streaming through his body surrounded in black mist. The creature staring at me was definitely not my father. Pale green skin, huge fangs, simple rags covering up the most intimate areas and a face with no nose. "Take my gift and become a lion amongst sheep and of course keep you abilities as Daywalker this is just an enhancement."
"Yes, I will accept your gift bite me and I join your side but be wary of me I have gone rogue before. I warn you I am not just a lion among sheep but a dragon among lions which means you treat me and Serana with safety and respect." Kiaramon demanded, a brave thing to do especially to my fathers face.
Does he care about me that much by asking my father such a thing? Of course not no one loves me I'm just a means to an end.
My father then lunged forward and sunk his fangs into Kiaramon making him collapse; this was usual for most so I shouldn't worry.
KIARAMON (this is just to show a change of conscious as it switches point of view from Serana to Daywalker)
"Awake at last, you've been out for awhile Daywalker." Stated Serana
I looked down to see I was put in a straw bed with furs to cover me and my hood was still on thank god she did not see my eyes.
The eyes are my power and curse; without I would wither away and die but with them I am a heartless, lonely monster of the darkness.
"Serana, where is my armor I need it also have you been watching while I sleep because that kinda creepy?" I had to find my armor without it these vampires could attack at any moment.
"In the corner honey, so what's the deal with you not telling me that the nasty Dawngaurd man got you with a bolt in your stomach?" She asked looking at her great sword, sharpening it, cleaning it and admiring it.
"It would have slowed us down and I've survived worse so I didn't want to bother you with it. No seriously why did you take my armor off?"
"I wanted to see if you got some sort of bad infection with the bite but you didn't apart from your little flesh wound that's now bandaged and all better. One more thing, why do you hide your face from me because I had a little peak and well all I can say is the gods smiled upon you, there's a few scars and some war paint but other than that it's a work of art." She was complimenting but why? Is this flirting for a reason or does she just want to do her own Molag Bal like ritual on me.
"Look I can't tell you or you would leave me like the rest of them I have a power but a burden and you can't know what it is Serana. Moving off the subject so why are you being so nice do you want something or did Harkon do something to you to make you a kiss ass?" Yes Serana I can play the flirting game too.
With that she bit her lip showing one fang and a mischievous smile. I need to be very mindful of her in the future. I got up and she watched me don my armor it was as if she savored every moment of it.
"So where did you get this grand armor from?" She asked.
"Well; my hood came from an assassin called ezio auiditore and it gives me the ability to sneak silently around places; the breastplate is from the great dark lord sauron and it protects me from pretty much everything…"
"Except from crossbow bolts"
"… I wasn't wearing it then I was in my pajamas okay and yes the great Daywalker wears pajamas so continuing; the boots are from an old friend Sheogorath and they allow me to carry more things and also walk on water; the daedric gauntlets speed up my attacks and I told you about Doraki." I explained.
"A fine collection but I like it off." Good one I thought and I don't have a counter well done Serana "So Harkon wanted you to prove your worth to him just go and do what he says okay."
"Gotcha." I proceeded to the door and when I flung it open there he was my wolf.
"I must have been out for long I missed you bud." He licked me in reply.
When I reached Harkon he was sitting in front of a warm fire and the air was welcoming which made me suspicious.
"Serana said you needed me." I said.
"Yes you see it is time you prove your worth as I can then separate you from the useful and those that are just another mouth to feed. We have been having trouble with a fiery demon walking our halls at night. It flies in through the window as a ball of fire and forms into a horned monster and with our vulnerability to fire we would be dust but you on the other hand are immune. Therefore, you are just the man to kill it Daywalker so I trust you will achieve this because you are a dragon among lions are you not?" He intended to mock me at the end because he expects me to fail but this demon will not win, I know.
"It shall die tonight by my hand."
